HOW TO DIE - PART THREE

2015, BELIEF, BIRTH, DEATH, EXPECTATION

Does the Spirit know when a transition of Life and Death is close? Not always. Sometimes the crossing over is swift, sudden, violent, and unexpected. The karmic issues are a matter for another time, but let it be said that decisions are sometimes made by one Spirit, acting alone or in accord with others, that lead away from the path and previous intentions in various and cataclysmic ways, affecting others in direct assault or by collateral damage. In these matters, there is little we can do to prepare you—except to say that this manner of transition exists and is most often difficult.

For all other matters and manners of Transition, turning to your inner wisdoms of How to Live and How to Die will help you to gauge your readiness and probable response to making an earthly exit. Your Spirit knows its Home, and the many resting places, and places of incarnation it has enjoyed in its existence. In these matters, you have the ability to be flawlessly led—although the lingering shadow of incarnation, ego, and personality are sometimes temporary stumbling blocks.

For instance: a mentally-disordered or physically disabled person might cross over and retain a strong identity-vibration with their earthly state, taking these perceived flaws with them into the non-mortal realm. Children will cross over with child-mind. Criminals cross over with fear of reprisal. Martyrs cross over with expectation of reward. Depending on circumstance, the depth of the identity-vibration, and the ego-state’s attachment need, healing these illusions take time. However--there are High Spirits aplenty, aware and compassionate, at hand to help with these cleansings.

For those who know How to Die, the transition is a blessed reunion with friends. Dying is a return to all that is Whole and fully seen, sensed and known, a wonderment of belonging and easy purpose. Returning to the fold is like returning to the table of a feast, being greeted with great love, asked of your time away, and regaled with stories of what has transgressed in your absence. You feel your place. You know your Self. You feel the Great All and sense how perfectly You fit into ITS web.

For those who know How to Die, the transition can be joyous, and at the very least, bittersweet. And just as you learned how to walk and speak and move about inside your own culture, you can learn the conscious language of your Spirit. In the quiet of your still, sacred, central point—that is ascended and part of All That Is—you will find everything you need to succeed. Learn the language of your Spirit through stillness and listening. 

Do this daily.  And what of the Transition itself? Listen to your Spirit today. Know its voice. On the morrow, we will tell you of your Home.

HOW TO DIE - PART TWO

2015, BIRTH, DEATH, FEAR, PLANNING

MAY 7, 2015

Dying and Living are joined by doorways—transitions by which the Spirit changes its relationship to the Great All. As you are born with certain knowledge inherent to you, these processes are accounted. It is the sometimes ponderous and entangled mortal incarnation that causes difficulties in the process called Dying.  Let us address this.

If you knew the date of your Dying, leaving this mortal realm, what would most concern you today? Very likely, as one of the Spirits receiving these words, fear of annihilation is not one of your concerns, or it is low on your list. Continuation of Life, like the note of sound that is You and your Song, winding eternally with All That Is, goes on. IT Is. You Are. We Are.  Have faith in that.

Perhaps you worry for the ones whom you leave behind there on earth. Some depend on you. Some see you as crucial. Some have even inflated your importance in their lives, letting what your earthly existence means to them eclipse their own paths and purpose. As with dependents and caretakers, such as parents and children: when there is a sudden and/or violent cutting away, transitions are difficult in the parting sense. Many enter therapy and healing right away upon making the transition from earth.

If your resistance to Death and Dying is that you have dependents, particularly children, who rely on you, ask yourself: what have you done to see to their future welfare should you be unable to continue as their caretaker? Having material resources is helpful, but applying yourself to future planning does much to soothe anxiety. Leaving behind loved ones, whom we believe will suffer at our loss, is the greatest resistance to transition.

Those recently crossed over worry when obligations lag and dangle behind them, and they find themselves unable to tie up loose ends and make good on personal obligations.

Another great impediment to a peaceful transition is fear of reprisal. What have you done in your life that evokes scenes of purgatory and hell? Do you believe that in crossing over, you will be met with punishment, isolation, revenge, or destruction? This is a common theme, as is the expectation of a state of heaven or nirvana built to specifications by a religion which taught the Spirit a group of false descriptions of paradise. Where is the feast? The mansions? The angels?

Being absorbed into the Whole is a fear-state we find more common in the recent years. The idea that You, the Spirit who is singular and unique, will be absorbed in the greater Whole, without discrimination, is as false as false ideas of heaven and hell. 

You are part of the Whole—a cell in an organism—yet as a cell, you are unique and have your own thumbprint, Song, personality, purpose, and drive. In crossing over, You will remain You. You become more aware of the Whole and better able to see the larger picture, but do not doubt that you will remain intact. You will not be rendered down to some base material and reabsorbed.

So . . . what are your unique beliefs about Death and Transition? Look forward.  Imagine you are crossing that threshold. What awaits you? How fares what you have left behind?

When we meet again, we will talk about the Spirit, its Song, and how it continues, always. We will tell you of the glory of Life, and we will show you that in knowing how to Live, you know well How To Die.

HOW TO DIE - PART 1

2015, BIRTH, DEATH, TRANSITIONS

MAY 6, 2015

Being born into mortal life, like being borne away from it, reduces itself to a formula: that of transition. One is in a state of non-corporeal being, and then one is present in mortal form. In the transition called death, one moves from a corporeal state to a non-corporeal state, taking life gains as vibrational additions.

In these two overruling types of transition on earth, personal will, choices, availability, destiny, and many other factors will affect exactly what happens in each individual process. While birth into the body is often met with acceptance and even celebration, transition out of the body is more often considered with suspicion, dread, and grief. The reasons are obvious to each of you currently enjoying your mortal form; even deep understanding may not alter some of the terms you have made between your consciousness and the aspects of impending mortal death.

But . . . what if you knew more about the concept of death? What if you knew how to die?
You were told how to be born. You were given long study on this. You were surrounded by those who love and support you, cheering you on. You were able to see across the veil—into the environment where your Spirit would soon inhabit the body. Quite likely, you knew many or most of, the persons involved in your impending incarnation. Being born, for us all, is a community process. And yet, in the community that is earth, dying is a silent and dread vigil.

May we help?

Have you feared death in this life? How close to you has death been? At your side? In your breath? Has it danced in your visions? Have you been in the inbetween, the spaces where those of us not currently in mortal incarnation can visit with those of you in mortal form? Have you had what is called a near-death experience? Have you seen and remembered your last home? Did you return with a state of peace? Do you still have fear?

Does the clock tick too loudly for your state of peace and purpose? How do you perceive death and how do you believe that death perceives you? Think long on this today and we will speak to you again on the morrow.

RECIPROMENTALITY

2015, GUIDANCE, ILLUMINATION

MAY 5, 2015

Cycles and Circles create a sort of Recipro-Mentality in our lives:  Karma, if you will.  The idea that we experience in life an amalgam of what we invest in life, in the perfect sense, is a Truism.  It is also a Truism that Life does not always appear to work this way.  You do not invest “particle A” to receive “response A,” not in the immediate sense; but have faith that the investment/response cycle is at work in your Life, in the great workings of Great All at large.

When you are genuine in your quest to know more Truth and to respond with more authenticity, compassion and concern, Great All will meet you, providing experiences that allow you Reciprocal study.  Are you concerned about a behavior you find lacking in your Self?  If you would like to respond with more authentic compassion, activating this permission at a Spirit-level causes the Great All to apply its resources for opportunities to advance your mission.  You will soon understand and respond to others with greater compassion, by witnessing the great need for it, or by needing it yourself.

What is it you most need to learn in your Life today?  Is it the same thing that you most resist?  Likely, yes.  Lessons and growth are often paired with doubt, isolation, and pain.  It is no wonder we do not readily embrace them at whole.

Let us consider Isolation.  Do you feel alone?  Even surrounded by family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers, do you feel “other-than” and misunderstood?  Do you feel un-knowable?  Do you feel as if you live in the wrong time and place, secretly believing that you act your part more often than you embody your part?

Perhaps the Great All has already given you the chance to feel Real Isolation, the cutting away of all contact, the perceived loss of hope, despair, a sort of wretchedness of the soul.  Perhaps you were driven to the edge of mortal life-and-death before some epiphany lightened your way, or you suddenly valued your life as it was, even broken and dark.  Perhaps another hand clasped yours and shared with you words of wisdom, reaching you in places with signs and sigils that let you know—into the depths of your Eternal Spirit—that you are Never Alone.

This does not seem like the sort of experience for which a Spirit would yearn.  Born and molded into Congregation, we are never alone.  But taking on the illusion of Aloneness, we come to understand the suffering of those currently under the veil of that same illusion.  We understand the lie of illusion, the strength of false belief . . . and we build compassion in one more compartment of our Eternal Self.  Our labors pay us in a measure of salvation.  It cures a certain kind of blindness.

So, who are we to say, in the midst of suffering, what might be gained from it?  You are not the river today that you were but one moment past.  You are divine and flowing without cease, shifting particles of awareness and intelligence, building knowledge, wisdom, and compassion as you grow your Self and your Song.

Recipromentality is a gift.  To receive the salutations of the good that you invest, accept with grace, the lessons brought by the flaws that you hold out for healing.  Say Yes to change when it comes.  Open the book.  Sing the song.

Each time Great All helps to refine something that is yet coarse in you, your vibration Lifts.  Lighter and Brighter, you illumine the way for others . . .

TO BE SICK

2015, SICKNESS

APRIL 11, 2015

What is it To Be Sick?  What properties or forces have overcome our wellbeing, in order that we re-state ourselves To Be Sick?

Does Sickness serve a purpose?  Is it different from illness, malaise, imbalance, disease, and disability?  For purposes of today’s discussion, let us say that Sickness is the least of these, that it is the temporary and very transient condition of body, mind and Spirit to recede from its perceived state of wholeness—the being’s ability to fully engage in reciprocal activities.

To Be Sick is sometimes a Time-Out.  The physical body may need to study and learn to defend against a pathogen or invader that is new to its environment.  The emotional body may need to study and learn to respond to a condition arisen as a result of a new type of interaction.  The mental body may need to expose flaws in the rational thought as it crashes against its theretofore unexposed false beliefs.

And in the Spirit body, Sickness sometimes arises when we are revealed to be blind, deaf, dumb, and non-compassionate to our own plight and the troth of others.  Spirit suffers when we cannot hear our own Song, and when we cannot Sing it.  The Great All has created You to succeed in all things, and urges you ever forward in your own evolution.

So, To Be Sick, is necessary at certain points.  To Be Sick for extended periods creates challenges and mutations that become more and more difficult to escape.  It becomes a Master’s task to walk again once lame, while a novice will recover from a sprained ankle.

When You Are Sick, listen to your Sickness.  Look at IT.  What is that Sickness saying?  

How does your mind, body, and Spirit respond to its presence?  Take what you will from this guest, bidding it welcome.  And at the eager and appropriate time, bid it go with joy.

This is not to say that Life is without challenge of long-term illness, disabilities, deformities, and serious complications of the mortal structure.  That is not To Be Sick.  The fleeting days, or repeating cycling of Sickness are tiny trials, and can be trail markers, showing you something about the path, and how you are wildcrafting upon the path.

Do you use Sickness to withdraw or make excuses?  Do you use Sickness with which to manipulate others?  Do you use Sickness in the name of Martyrdom or as some other badge of false courage?

Or do you use Sickness as a time that could serve your Self?  Do you sit in the Shade Throne and study the Light and the Dark—the Wellness and the Sickness—and see both sides of embodying your mortal form, comparing how and where you are?  Do you let Sickness’ discomfort build your compassion and grow your wisdom?

To Be Sick is a punishment only if you make it so.  It is wielded as a weapon only if you forge it thusly.  To Be Sick is a gift, a quiet time of Spirit and study, with regained wellness at its conclusion if you allow it into your Self, not closing out the Song, but Singing IT.

SHADE

2015, BALANCE, COMMINGLING

APRIL 10, 2015

Sometimes, the brilliance of full Light is daunting, requiring you to stand in the Shade, where there is a blending of darkness and sun.  Is this the gray area, or a commingling?  This is dependent upon personal perception.

In order to stand in the Shade, to step away from what is daunting and see two sides of some matter, you must be able to organize your thought and perception processes to understand clearly each aspect on any debatable point or condition.  This is an art to be mastered, and achieving High results is based on not only the quality of available data, but the quality of your time and attention, and your ability to quantify that data comparatively, rationally, emotionally, and spiritually—across the boundaries of time, culture, belief, bias, and fears.

In the Shade, you are in the filtering of direct Light.  This effect is created by the interjection of objects between you, tangible—and sometimes UNtangible.  You may be standing in the Light, and still filtering its rays through the UNtangible effects of your own beliefs and ideas, that create osmotic-type properties which allow certain bits of information to pass through, and disallow other bits.

As certain as there is a cycle of Day and Night/ Light and Darkness, there is a cycle in you similar to your Circadian (mammalian) rhythms, that guides you through the exhalation and inhalation of new ideas.  These rhythms and breaths help to re-create you.  You have experienced these moments and called them epiphanies and wonderments.  When you have been in the presence of miracles or considered yourself spontaneously enlightened by something, you have felt the Light full upon you, UNimpeded by the filters of Shade.

Shade has its purpose, and its purpose is not to let idle the conditions and points to be made by the Light or the Darkness.  Do not sit in the Shade and say:  Both the Light and the Dark are wrong, and therefore only this condition in the middle can be right, or safe, or comfortable.  The very alive sparks of the Dark and Light are present, there with you and dancing.  They are books to be read; songs to be heard and sung.  They witness you.

What then, is Shade?  Shade is opportunity.  Consider it a comfort throne, a place where you may abide and study the particles of Light and Dark, seeking out that which they would teach you.  They dance together—not opposed even as opposites—but symbiotic.  They will tell you of your own conditions of Shade, those places inside you where the Dark and Light dance, where commingled properties meet to make master plans for the further unfolding of Great All.

Shade is a gift.  A time to study.  Shade is not a distractant.  It is not dilute.  It is a masterful singing of two powerful forces, meeting and playing out, inviting your study.

COMMENDATION

2015, GRATITUDE, TRUTH

APRIL 9, 2015

Do you praise, or Commend, in equal measure to the Condemnation you share?  Commendation provides a lifting of Sprits; it is a vibration that is enjoyed by both the giver and the receiver.  Do not Commend falsely.  Commendation is the art of seeing what is beneficial, positive, well-done and helpful, and expressing gratitude about it or for it.

To Commend is to acknowledge an action or achievement, and its maker, in a way that is genuine—as a reflection for how that same reflects in the whole of Great All or in the measure of progress in some microcosm of the same.  To Commend a child for sharing something, unbidden, is liken to Commending a nation for sharing unbidden their resources to help others.

Commendation is not used for manipulation, to aggrandize, to level playing fields, or to falsely attune to peer standards.  Commendation is the pure act of seeing an action or achievement and being moved by it to the degree that from a place of respect (even silently, in your thoughts), you feel pulled to thank its maker.

What in your world today can you give your Commendation?  What can you give your world today, that will cause your world to give You its Commendation?
