BELLIGERENCE

2015, DIS-AGREEMENT, PROTECTION

JUNE 9, 2015

When does warlike behavior suit the circumstance?  When is a Belligerent stance beneficial?  From your core, Belligerence rises to protect body, status, home, and possessions, and the same for others.  Living as part of the wild beast inside you, Belligerence used correctly, can strengthen you and help you to see things as they truly are.

We disregard for this treatise, the malcontent forms of Bellicosity for which Belligerence is sometimes made accountable.  True Belligerence is not immature, rude, or non-cooperative, especially as based on destructive behaviors and habits.  We speak of Belligerence as the important part of your survival instinct and system, that of setting guidelines for your Self and for others—that there may be mutual respect—and when respect has failed, or boundaries have failed, to have recourse.

Most of us have dealt with a Belligerent child:  the child who does not want to take a nap, share his or her toys, finish their meal, or quietly listen to reason.  The terms for these behaviors could easily be described as uncooperative, selfish, stubborn, and close-minded.  True Belligerence is none of those things.  Belligerence is the Spirit, standing at the drawn line along with the body, mind and emotions, saying:  “No further.”

When we set boundaries and then defend them, with honor and respect, and at all times as peaceably as possible, we are practicing our Belligerence.  We say NO to the bully; to the thief; to the bureaucrat; to the family member who unfairly takes advantage.  Using the body language and firm resolve that is paired with Belligerence helps us to defend our morals, purpose, and path when others would attempt to tear us down from the outside.

Belligerence is not the same as anger.  It is not the same as hate.  It is not the same as opposition.  Belligerence is the avid defense of a boundary that we have set and intend to maintain.  It begins as a talk between warring nations might begin.  Yes, it may escalate to war.  Quite often, however, the surety that you will war, in some form, in order to protect your stance in some matter, is enough to deter an attacker.  Lazy attackers often require the easiest prey.

Think of the peaceful protests that have been held around the world.  Belligerent occupants stood together and said “NO.”  With great numbers, and representing a great many different concerns, the attackers, or those with intentions to harm, withdrew suit.  The Belligerent many, having drawn a line and then defended it, achieved the best good for all, peaceably, by proving their intentions to stay true to their purpose.

How many times have you heard the voice of your Belligerence rise, and then silenced that voice for fear of social reprisal?  Think of the ways you have been trained to respond according to the society in which you have been raised:  what is proper and what is not proper.  When something is harmful or destructive, to yourself or others, do you speak out, or are you silent? 

We cannot always invest energy in all things that come to our attention, but we know of the issues by which we should become involved—by the feeling it gives us—that bodywave of knowing:  “I should do something about this.”

In most societies, Belligerence is considered rudeness, but we say to you that true Belligerence, that of Self defense and the defense of others, in the name of what is in the best and highest good for all, is a positive attribute.  

How is your current state of Belligerence?  Is something at work in your Life today that could benefit from your loyal and unyielding dedication?

CHAOS

2015, CHANGE, CHAOS

JUNE 5, 2015

Chaos is the great possibility.  It is the energy of potential; points of confluence and construction intersecting and then dancing away again.  With focus of mind and intention, the great creative works that can be wrought out of the Chaos are brought forth.  You are that focus.

Look around you.  What is orderly?  Are those orderly things seemingly static, pat, undervalued and underused assets?  Have you built things, at first using your creative fire, and then set them aside and let them be, gathering the dust of the earth upon them, gathering the shadows of inaction upon them?  Those things are disintegrating.  Those very things that you hold up to tradition and static value are eroding.  Of what value is that?

Nothing created remains in its same form forever.  Look at the river.  Moment by moment, it is changing.  You are doing the same.  While your Spirit is eternal, Your Song is constantly being reSung, like the river.  As you become aware of more, and attached to less, the vehicle that you carry yourself in, both mortal and eternal, shifts to reflect those changes.

Therefore, Chaos is your friend.  It is the great pool tide from which you may draw your raw materials for creations.  The skill is in finding those materials specific for your needs.  Perhaps a spark, literally, drew your attention to some confluence of energy in the Chaos, whether it be ideas, communications, observations, or a sudden epiphany.  You may now reach into the Chaos and withdraw only those components you need with which to create.

Instead of seeing Chaos as a great, unruly beast, see it as a feast.  Your world is Chaos, even inside the order.  And inside that Chaos, there is order.  These two actions are tied together.  It is your manner of seeing and experiencing Chaos and Order that shifts as you work within those creative parameters.  How do we Manifest?  By withdrawing what is needed from Chaos and Order.

Whether you are creating something in the plains of your own mind, or on the fields and cliffs of your homeland, Chaos is your workshop.  Try today reaching into the Chaos with which you are most familiar.  Withdraw two components and commingle them in a way you have not done before.  See the world newly.  Breathe newly.

Like the Light inside you connecting to the Light all around you, the Chaos and Order inside you will lead you in your creation.  Create newly.  Embrace the Chaos.  Look.

THE BURGEONING

2015, BURGEONING, GROWTH

MAY 31, 2015

It seems that life moves along at a certain pace and then suddenly, one experiences a Burgeoning of a particular emotion, circumstance, or awareness—so much so that it could be said that what is taking place is an immersion.  

Whether this immersion be growth due to sorrow and grief, the hyper-awareness of others’ circumstance, or the awareness of something that one was hitherto unaware of—such as local poverty, The Burgeoning of new factors, commingling with the known and old wisdoms already inside you, makes for radical change.

What is it that you imagine for your Self?  What changes would have to occur between where you are now, who you are now, and what you are now, to take you to that place—from where you currently stand?  Yes.  You can invite The Burgeoning.  This is what retreat and immersion are all about.  When you set aside the parts of your world unrelated to the path ahead of you, temporarily, letting in only what takes you from where you are now to where you want to go, you streamline your journey.

Let us take, in our minds, that journey together this morning.

Be at peace in your body.  Put aside your pain.  Surrender your doubt.  Reveal your fears for the myths that they are.  Ignore the social programs that have been etched into your psyche, telling you that you cannot do ‘this’ or ‘that.’  See clearly that thing that you would achieve, that shining Spirit that you would be.

Who and what is this magical component of Great All?  Who is this fearless and beautiful piece/peace of Everything That Is?  It Is You, further actualized, closer to The Source:  You Still; You, held in the moment, existing there, just as you are existing here.  You exist in many places simultaneously.  You are Greater than you know, and more important.

Do you see your Self, there, Shining?  What false raiments wear you now that keep you from slipping through the needle’s eye?  Is it pride, envy, ego, greed, fear, isolation?  Can you surrender those small, meaningless, mortal conditions in order to wear that Shining body?  The wisdoms you need to guide your journey are there inside you; there are all around you.  Sometimes, swimming in clear, sweet water, you beg for a drink to quench your thirst.

The Burgeoning is that sweet cool drink.  You fill with what is needed to grow.  The Light ahead sharpens, its Song increasing.  You become more You.  Embrace the Burgeoning, especially when you are empty.  The space inside you was made for just this time.  That emptiness you feel is the vessel in acceptance, readying itself for The Gift.

Embrace The Burgeoning.  Embrace Life.  Know joy and its song.  Let eternity Sing through you, and loudly enough that others may hear it and indeed, see it shining through your eyes.

THE BREAK

2015, COMMUNICATION, SEPARATION

MAY 30, 2015

There is a moment when the energy of something to which you have been attached separates.  A Break is made between yourself and some person, 
place, event, circumstance, or thing. 

 

The Break is the moment at which you regain the energy you have invested in staying attached outside yourself to something that was meant to be outgrown, healed, or parted from.  In most cases, The Break is a positive and cathartic moment.  It is epiphany and release.  It forms the template for the first step of your next chapter of personal history. 

At the occurrence of The Break, we sometimes wonder why it is we were so slow in coming to the separation.  We wonder why we allowed fear to hold us back, uncertainty to bind our communications, and non-action to settle within us, keeping hold of our Love and Wisdom—even to the point where we hide it from our conscious selves.  The Break, once met, is a time for rejoicing, even when others are saddened by it. 

We speak of Breaks that have been formed like dams.   

When you separate from a loved one, whether by death or great distance, you do not make a Break.  The connection between you remains; communication continues; love is exchanged; nearness, when it is sought, is felt, no matter the gulf or perception of time and distance. 

Whether the Break is one of triumphing over fallacy, self-esteem issues, manipulations, or group hypnosis, healing a condition by Breaking free of its negative and harmful energy is a time for celebration.  

Under what yokes do you mournfully labor?  What false perceptions hold you in their thrall?  What Breaks need to be made between both your High and mortal selves to restore you to your greatest condition of wholeness? 

Look at your life.  Walk its pathways.  Where and how are you invested, and on which of those life-robbing avenues could you benefit from making The Break?

THE HOLY CHORUS

2015, THE SONG

MAY 28, 2015

You hear many internal voices as you go through your life.  One of them is the immortal, inimical voice of Your Self, Your High Spirit, guiding you.  

Whether providing this service with clarity, or muffled by a changing density of multitudinous factors, it is ever there, and aspiring to hear it, and follow its loving and Self-interested guidance, is life-paramount to growth, health, and happiness.

Do not assign to other factors—and persons—detrimental conditions that are nothing more than your inability, or unwillingness, to listen to your High Spirit, and the Holy Chorus of which your High Spirit is a part.

Factors in accord stream together in polarity-like directions, like water molecules making a river that flows toward the ocean.  Even without the impediment of rock and barrier, you would hear the water singing.  It is The Holy Chorus you hear—the accord—like intention turned together in a common goal.  Merry travelers go in company, sharing the journey.  And when the journey is one of pain and sorrow, singing together in accord also brings comfort and strength.

The Holy Chorus is the sound of Great All meeting itself in many faces, close, entailed with the same purpose, traveling together under a common bond, even if it is destined that they will again part.  The Song that is woven of Them together will be forever stored in each of Singers, and stored in the Great Hall as well.  In will echo is sunshine and shadow.  It becomes part of what is, and what has been, and what will be.  It etches itself into the Holy Pattern of Great All.

Inside You, this same phenomenon occurs.  For each time, you allow the streaming effect to occur within your Self, letting that High condition manifest in the mortal self, you hear the selfsame Song—The Holy Chorus singing inside you.  It is like silver on your skin.  The heart widens.  The pulse speeds.  The senses stir.  Your knowing leads you.

You know of what we speak.  These miracle moments, when things have come to you, when you feel absorbed, part of . . . in your place . . . and important to Great All . . . this is when you are in thrall to The Holy Chorus.  Its Singing begins to Sing You.  You feel your own Song respond.

Your Song is You.  Your voice is part of The Holy Chorus.  Invite this miracle more often into your life.  Whether through meditation, prayer, or pure, still awareness, the Songs of The Holy Chorus, vibrating inside you, will lift vibration, and with it goes pain, suffering, and misunderstanding.  The Holy Chorus is Love.  Love is The Great Healer.

GUIDES

2015, CLEAR SEEING, GUIDES, HIGH SELF

MAY 22, 2015

Who is your Guide on this journey:  Doubt or Inspiration?  One presses down, while the other offers a hand up.  Were each of these Guides actually a hand, you would find written in the palm, all the tell-tale signs of what is needed to be known.  You would see the roadmap—clearly outlining where you have been, and where you are going.  You would see where you are currently standing and understand how you got there, and where the current trajectory is taking you.

You are your own Guide.  Others may offer you Guidance.  Be clear on this.  

Be clear on clarity.  We work through, and walk through, various phases in our lives.  Certain concepts are baby concepts compared to others.  We earn our levels of understanding through acceptance, belief, thought-construct, and behavior.  We judge ourselves.  And when we are ready to move from one vibratory level to the next, it is our own abilities and understandings that refine the gateways, enabling them to accept Higher communications and therefore, Higher existence.

You are your own Guide.  So, how does one apply for Guidance?  How does one seek for benevolent study and assist oneself in Self-Guidance?  Introspection, commerce, and constructive conversation with Spirits evolved beyond the current aspects of the Self.  And how is this done?  Listening.

When you apply for Guidance, seek first and always through the channel of Your High Self, who being Self, always has the High Self’s best interest in mind.  Re-visit our lessons of False Prophets and Authority.  You are your own best Guide.  For all others, use High discretion, applying clarity and wisdom to that which is received.

It can be difficult to tirelessly perform as a channel—but do not doubt that your High Self is always connected to Great All, and available for your service at all times.  Open yourself to wisdom, love, and inclusion, and you open yourself to the greatest Guides of all.

THE FACTORS OF FORTITUDE

2015, COURAGE, FORTITUDE, TENACITY

MAY 20, 2015

How do you continue engaging your Life circumstance when it is painful and frightening, when you are tested at your core for what you believe, and of what you are capable?  Even the hero must know his limits of courage and patience.  At the highest tensile strengths, the best metals will bend and snap.  How far will Fortitude take you?  When is a Miracle required?

First:  what is Fortitude—in its essence?  Say that you were born with a handicap.  Perhaps that handicap causes you physical pain.  At some point, that physical pain will also cause you emotional pain, as you will likely exclude yourself from some life activities in which you wish to be included.  A great Fortitude of patience and strength is needed.

For a soldier, great Fortitude of courage and compassion are needed—and the qualities are different, depending on the situation.  Does the soldier fight to defend?  Is there a belief in this cause, or is there a sickening?  How is the soldier affected by what is seen and experienced?  How is the soldier affected by his or her actions?

What about responsibility?  Have you raised your siblings, where your parents could not, only to raise your own children, then grandchildren, then become responsible for your irresponsible parents?  How much Fortitude, and what kinds, are required for those tasks?

Fortitude is the ability to carry on despite great burden, loss of hope, fear, and pain.  Why is it some are blessed with this quality and some are not?  Why are some blessed with great Fortitude, and how do they come to this state?  Is it Nature or Nurture?  On this scale of having none, and having a great amount of Fortitude, where do you sit—in a factored sense?  That is, if you averaged your abilities to apply Fortitude, in general in your life, on a 1-10 scale, at what number to do believe yourself to currently rate?

Have you focus?  Tenacity?  Do you set clear goals and stick with the plan?  Do you ask for help when it is needed?  Do you admit to mistakes when you become aware of the mistakes, and adjust your plans accordingly?  Do you allow yourself to learn from others, barring all beliefs as to the source of knowledge, such as the wisdom of deep listening, clear seeing, or learning from someone whom you believe is uneducated, or somehow “below you” in social rank or standing?

Even children, sometimes especially children, can offer wisdom.  With their less complicated seeing and hearing, their opinions are quite often unbungled by political and social maneuvering.  Listen to your world.  And listen to your Self.  Is the world against you?  Or when you are required to apply Fortitude, is it that You are against the circumstances?  Be clear on this.

Sometimes, we apply Fortitude to a condition that we, ourselves, have manifested.  By blind sight, greed, deafness, attachments, or false accusations, we sometimes find ourselves in a place of fighting invisible demons—called up by programs we have instigated.  We are fighting our own army of hostiles!  When you are required to call upon Fortitude, first ask yourself if Fortitude is required—or if there is some adjustment that can be made in the construct of things that will smooth the way.

The Factors of Fortitude are many.  What Is.  What You Believe.  What Can Be.  Who you are and who you are surrounded by are also big Factors in what strengths you must apply in your Life.  We live as part of a divine tapestry.

Think of the ways and situations in which you currently apply Fortitude.  Is Fortitude required?  How much of what you battle is real?  What is assumed, and what are shadow boxers?  Quite often, in untangling any problem-set methodically, we begin to see its core, and at its core we can come to understand it in new ways—and therefore begin to relate to it in new ways.

Fortitude, in general, is a fine quality, but liken to certain kinds of tenacity, we can become mired in its illusions.  You would no more want to be mired in your physical handicaps—in a tenacity of beliefs about those handicaps—than you would want to be decorated for martyrdom of Fortitude in withstanding a handicap that could be improved—would you?

Forward motion is crucial to your Spirit’s growth.  When Fortitude serves this, it is good.  

When you apply Tenacity, using it as Fortitude, to stay weak and static, forward motion stops.  Grow your Spirit.  Check in with your Life conditions and how you Factor Fortitude.  Even in suffering, it is the Divine plan to keep moving forward, to become Higher, Lighter, and Brighter.
