COGNITION

2017, BELIEF, COGNITION

SEPTEMBER 5, 2017

What is in a thought? All of your experiences, beliefs, expectations, assumptions, wishes, and comparative studies brought together form thoughts, and above that operates Cognition. Cognition is the condition of being able to study something and make connections, and that involves your consciousness, your unconsciousness, and we hope, your superconsciousness.

Cognition is not without flaw; it is the elixir of everything that you bring to thinking and problem solving. To have arrived at a conclusion does not make the conclusion solid nor the journey impeccable. It is merely the place at which you have stopped, having stopped thinking, believing that your thinking is done.

How then may you trust your Cognition? How many things are you thinking right now? How are you thinking about them; what beliefs, assumptions, and experiences have you already applied to this cocktail of thoughts?

Cognition is more than a recreation for the mind, and for the ever-busy brain who must be kept busy at every moment. It is a culmination of rational ideas colored by imagination. It is the civilized tempered by the feral.

Cognition will tell you that the screeking floor board is merely heat and cold, but quickly seduced by other filtrates, it will amend itself to say that someone or something is causing the noise, sneaking up on you with ill intent. It might then return to its first idea, but thereafter waver in its conclusions.

So, how do we apply our Cognition in terms that we can trust? How do we make an ally of Cognition and keep it safe from unsavory seductions? We must apply filters. We must use our highest mind. We must focus on clarity when the murky comfort, or comfortable discomfort, is infringing in our territories.

Who are you, really? What are you made to do? Why are you? These thoughts require the highest, clearest mind. The difference between low answers and high are the difference between a well drawn map and being lost.

Cognition bends to its input, as a computer performs to its software. If we want quality output, we must input quality factors. We must inspect our thoughts for falsehood, mythology, fears, and other manipulations. Would you say that eggs are born of a carton because you have never met a chicken?

Being open to what you do not know is more important than what you believe you know. Select an object in your current view. Name three things you believe you know about that object. Now, believe you know nothing about the object, and look for three things that you did not know. What are they? Do they surprise you?

See how your world expands when you let in what is not known. Cognition is fired by its factors. Remember that any conclusion is an opinion, even in Science where reproducible outcomes may change due to shifts in application and environment. Your world is constantly evolving, as are you.

To evolve on the highest path, you must use your Cognition as a tool. By feeding your thought processes the highest raw forms, and being open to the unknown, your Cognition processes will rise to serve you. You are not your thoughts, but you are intrinsic with them.

Let your thoughts be guided by the highest forms and processes. Let your Cognition be consistent with Truth. And let your self be guided wisely, growing what is known, and ever open to what is not.

For Discussion: Let us discuss one point: who are you? Is this the same as asking WHAT are you? Can you apply Cognition to these reflections?

How much of your process is influenced by your personal beliefs? How many of your personal beliefs are barely more than repetition, learned input supplied to you by your family and community?

Now, ask your self again: Who are you? When you have decided this, ask the more important question: Who do you want to be?

THE MANATUA

2017, AWARENESS, DEJA VU, MEMORY

SEPTEMBER 4, 2017

The Samoan language uses the word Manatua to indicate the act of remembering, memories, or the remembered. We would like to use Manatua this morning to indicate what is inside you that can be remembered: the Manatua that dwells in you; the memories that dwell in you. We do not speak of your mortal memories, but your eternal ones.

You have experienced déjà vu, that feeling that you have been someplace before, said something before, done something before, or met someone before—even though your mind is simultaneously telling you that is untrue. Is your mind lying or tricking you for its own ends? For that matter, if the experience can be explained by déjà vu, the fruition of something that you unconsciously knew would come to pass, what function could it serve?

Notice how your attention goes to point when you are experiencing a déjà vu. You are studying the experience from all angles. You are wondering why it is so familiar. You are intuitively working to extract its message. Why do I feel this way? What am I supposed to experience right now? What should I take away?

Remember right now experiences you have had where one of your senses has triggered a powerful memory, not a déjà vu, by linking your present with a different place in time and a difference place in space. Usually, you will have the opportunity to manage the present conditions differently than the previous ones—higher minded and with more maturity: “I was frightened by this when last I encountered a situation similar, but now I know how to effectively navigate these conditions . . .”

Now, think of the deeper Manatua, or a déjà vu: “I have done exactly this before. I know this, therefore I am in control. I give thanks to have had warning for this. I now know that I am in the right place doing the right thing.”

Can you then apply these same principles to what is inside you, remembered and waiting to be rediscovered? Yes. There are worlds of wisdom in you. There are endless connections. You are never without resources. You are never without help. You are never without Love.

We will call the body of the Manatua your archive—because it is its own animal. It exists alongside you, entailed to you, and intrinsic with you. Your Manatua is your second skin.

Explore the Manatua. It is also the Gatekeeper to greater archives, the Hall of Concordance, and the Great Manatua of Great All. Do you want to know more, feel more, do more? You may.

By opening the spine of your own Manatua, you access its storehouse. Because it is built on your template, you will perfectly understand its contents. It will be delivered perfectly unto you. You need go no further. With the Great Manatua as your guide, all things will open.

For Discussion: Have you accessed your own Manatua? Can you discern the difference in quality and reliability as provided by your mortal memory compared to your Manatua? Which of your human memory files do you return to most often? Why? In returning to these memories, are you attempting to live in the past, change the past, or merely touch-stone with the past?

How do you human memories weaken you? How do they give you strength? Have you had the experience of changing a memory when your Manatua shows you that it is false? How did that make you feel? How did that improve your life? How did it shift other memories? Did you feel more compelled to visit other memories and mark them against the Manatua for accuracy?

How might your Manatua serve you from this time forward?

REVERBERATION

2017, ECHO, MIRRORS, REVERBERATION

SEPTEMBER 3, 2017

Your every feeling, thought and action creates a Reverberation, a sonic signal that is strong at its source and shudders or repeats as it moves away—either in loops, spirals, or waves. This is why we feel repelled by some and attracted to others. This is how you can feel a shudder in your spine as revulsion . . . or as a wave of pleasure. You are reacting to the Reverberation of what has been released.

People do this naturally, in both receiving a Reverberation, and in making them. Other entities do this as well: singing stones, babbling brooks, whispering trees . . . creaking houses. Everything in existence stores its intentions and memories in its vibratory pattern, and each pattern is as unique as a fingerprint.

Imagine how a singer trains, watching in a mirror as they are using their bodies to form sound, listening closely, paying attention to the Reverb or life of the note. Masterful singers want to find the right notes and deliver them in the right way to create the right effect.

Imagine you are seated directly across from a person, and each has the intention of experiencing each other wordlessly. You will perceive much through facial expression and body language, but what if you were blindfolded? Would you perceive less, or more?

How basic do you believe the vibration of an entity to be? With deep listening and deep sensing, you will surprise yourself by how much the measure of a person, place, or thing you can perceive. Try this in a group and our words will prove themselves.

Your Reverberation, the affect of your Vibration upon the immediate environment, is part of a core signature that you share with your world. And the larger the thought, feeling, or action, the larger its area of influence.

You do not affect your world by existing alone, although you do affect your world by merely existing. All aspects of you and your processes affect your world. The bigger the process, the bigger the effect.

Consider who you are, vibrationally, in your world. How do your Reverberations affect other persons, places, and things? How might you create Reverberations that help to lift the conditions of your world?

This morning, study yourself. Attempt to see, feel, and sense your personal vibrations and Reverberations and assess them. The more Love you give to the world, the more Love comes seeking.

For Discussion: Attempt to consider these thoughts from a state of neutral vibration. While not entirely possible to remove your self from all vibrations, removing your self from strong influences that create either negative or positive waves will help you to better divine what you are seeking to experience.

If you were a song, what song would you be? How does that song make other people feel? How does that song affect the vibration of the room? How large is this effect? Do you affect a room, a whole house, a whole community? Is this a positive or a negative thing? What are the hidden lyrics in your song--what is its overall message?

Are you glad to be represented by this song? If not, what song would you prefer to mimic? How do you believe that your life, and your ability to affect life, creates action in the world? Describe that action.

THE COST OF THINGS

2017, COST, EXCHANGE, SACRIFICE

SEPTEMBER 2, 2017

Because voids may not exist in the living, when one thing is removed, another must move to take its place. This is the law that creates continuity, adherence, and cohesion. Therefore, as you attract a new idea, energy, purpose, or quality, something of equal weight and space must be surrendered.

Most persons find this very difficult. A new idea presents itself: the person seeks to embrace it, and yet, the old, comfortable, and familiar ideas have great weight and are sometimes quite entrenched. Most will believe that these things can co-exist.

Two idea sets can overlap, allowing one to transition inward while the other transfers away. This is a normal function and less jolting . . . but one cannot fully embrace Truth, or the new idea, and continue to live by the paradigm of Falsehood, or the old idea. There is no room. It’s like trying to use the gas and brake pedal simultaneously on your car.

So, first of all the Cost of Things is Exchange. One must Exchange old things for new things. Can one become mighty, holding more, knowing more, wielding more? Yes . . . but how does it serve to hold onto outdated and disproved ideas?

When you embrace what is new, you may bemoan what is lost. Why? Is being smaller more comfortable? Is having less responsibility more comfortable? Is knowing less Truth more comfortable? What do you want in this Life? Be of single Intention.

Direct your Conclaves. 

Realize that good housekeeping involves throwing out the trash. When you are growing, The Cost of Things is never so dear as remaining stagnant, asleep, or only half-alive.

COMPACTS WITH ANGELS

2017, ANGELS, HELPERS

SEPTEMBER 1, 2017

 

We have agreed that Compacts are a unifying force, a movement that you become part of. We have put forward that you may direct the Compacts that operate your body in order to achieve higher states of health, wholeness, and spiritual knowledge. What now of forming Compacts with Higher Others who may help you forward your goals with even more power and clarity?

When you think of Angels, what image do you perceive? Do you envision Beings as painted by artists over the times, dressed in white, bearing wings? What could be the reason that so many have painted these Beings in a similar way?

We have spoken to you about the movements of your personal energy: how it leaves and how it enters, and that upon viewing this energy one might from a distance, see it as overlapping loops of white electricity. Beings called Angels who enter the Earth stream possess this high level of energy and when seen by the Highest human eye, even at the subconscious level, it appears in its most logical form, that is to say, in the form that makes most sense to the human brain.

What is an Angel? More than you have been taught. Different from what you’ve been taught. More varied in talent and powers, and intentions, than you have been taught. But . . . Angels do abound on Earth and many have the intention of High Helpers to their mortal kin.

We speak to you often of using your discretion when you call out for help. This always applies. Your High Self, who dwells forevermore among the others of Great All, is a sure and pure source for help . . . but sometimes Help is needed that is above what even the High Self is currently able to give, for a variety of reasons, be that maturity, current understanding and knowledge, or emotional disposition.

Angels—the right Angels—can lead a Compact that will benefit you in the Highest way.  And how does one locate these High Beings?  Ask.

As we always advise, ask with respect, from a state of clear thinking. 

Come to this request clean and resolved. 

You know prayer. We all know prayer.

 It is born inside us.

Now, feel your body as you ask. Angels who come for your benefit carry a Love vibration that can take the breath and catch the heart. In the presence of an Angel, you feel the Creator energy of Great All Herself. You feel the unconditional and unending love of All That Is. You may feel moved to tears.

Healing Angels can move through and into us, lifting our vibrations, helping to re-code what has gone awry. You will hear their music and feel their completeness. You will know from whence you have arisen and to whence you will return. It is a gift beyond measure.

Wherever you are today, take a moment to consider this. 

In your next still, small moments, contemplate on the presence of Angels. Seek communion with Them. Invite Them to Compact with you. A Healing Angel’s greatest pleasure is bringing you closer to The Creator.

COMPACTS

2017, COMPACTS, COOPERATION, WHOLENESS

AUGUST 31, 2017

When you make a Compact with your Self or another, the terms are more binding than a promise. You become ‘part of.’ You give some of your Self over to this group or this Compact, the meeting of many towards a common goal. 

The exponential increase in power yields exponential results. If you want to start a school, your efforts will make a huge impact and indeed, with enough work and passion, you will see the school done. If you form a Compact whose solitary goal is starting a school, you will see your school done in much shorter time and with more detail than you could have singularly brought to the project.

Compacts are a unifying force. They create a dynamic wave. They move things forward in different ways than individuals or small groups, and often absorb others as they roll towards their goal. There are Compacts at work in your community, in your nation, and in your world.

Would it surprise you to know that there are Compacts at work inside You? 

Your brain has formed a Compact with your spinal cord, your nerve roots, and your many descending branches of nerves. This Compact works with the Compacts of soft tissues, including your blood and lymph and skin, your hormones and their organs, and your bony frame and all the levers that act upon it. You are alive in your body because of Compacts.

For a moment, become aware of one of these Compacts. They are perpetually running behind the scenes, never stopping to ask for your input, never waiting for your direction. These silent mechanics perform their jobs according to the templates laid out for them. 

And from what magical places do these templates arise, but from You?

You are born into a certain biology-set and grow with it. Your beliefs and passions will create a lifestyle that trains that biology-set. That biology-set will respond to its environment, protecting itself, testing itself, and over time, aging. During all of this, your Compacts are making adjustments in order to operate at their peak.

But . . . what if these Compacts receive another source of input? What if you began to give these Compacts more conscious direction? You are doing just that when you try to convince yourself that you are not afraid, or that you will quickly fall asleep.

What if you directed these Compacts to help you heal, to help you see what is currently unseen, to hear what is currently unheard, or do things that you have heretofore been unable to do? How do you think your abilities, and therefore your life, would change?

We are not talking in the ridiculous. We are not saying that you may direct your Compacts to help you to fly or to become invisible. We are declaring that by becoming aware of, and communicating with, your Compacts, you may become more You. You may become a mortal vessel that contains a greater percentage of the Higher Self.

Directing your Compacts to expansively allow for more of the Higher Self is exactly what one is doing in a dedicated meditation practice. These rituals shift not only the consciousness; they shift the body state as well.

Become aware of your bodily Compacts. Thank them for their tireless service. Let them know that you desire to be whole, and filled optimally with your Highest Self. Shine with your own Light—so brightly that others may see and will want to shine themselves.

CONVOCATION

2017, CONVOCATION, HELP

AUGUST 30, 2017

When people come together to formally achieve something, their personal energies are much amplified. Be this destructive or uplifting, a Convocation increases many-fold the intention that is most prevalent in the crowd gathered. This can be achieved by working with other persons, or by working with your spirit guides and the elements.

Let us say that your will is weak for a task you feel you must complete. How does one overcome fear, confusion, or even apathy for this task when the core from which you draw seems non-cooperative? To go through the motions of doing something, enough times, may build the will, but recruiting support is wiser and more expedient.

Recruiting support from higher sources will give you a broader perspective and better understanding of what the task entails, and its possible outcomes. It will help you to be aware, and stay aware, of the shifts taking place in your world. A Convocation of assistance will help keep you moving forward.

Think of a task that you need to complete: something that should be shored-up or torn down or made peace with. Look at its many elements. What are the broad categories of influence for this task? What is your resistance to this task?

Determine which elements might be helpful: water to get things flowing or wash away or clean; fire to illumine, burn away, or transform; earth to ground, sanctify space and connect; air to rise above, remove stagnation, and mind-travel. Using Ethers, the great overruling element, will help you to reset your vibrational body; it is the element of the spiritual warrior.

Once you have determined which elements may be of help, call upon those spirits working within it. Do this with respect. Ask politely. No price is extracted for working to harmonize the whole, not from those spirits of high intent—and these are the only spirits you should invoke.

Have you repeating thoughts? Use Air to lift them: “I call upon the spirits of Air to lift my circular thoughts, and give thanks to these powers for their gifts in leaving me more balanced and whole.” Asking as a supplicant will show respect. Go to this task clean and humble. You need not know extensive ritual for this healing. Ask as a child of the Great All and be open with gratitude to receive.

You could study these things. You could follow long standing traditions. These ways are well and good . . . but maybe you aren’t that person. Maybe you are a busy mother or a stressed out executive. Maybe the old arts don’t call to you. That does not make you less. That does not make you less connected.

Great All’s principles are resolute: “Ask and you shall receive.” Have faith in that. Have faith that the elements you arose from know you always.

There is a Convocation of help available to you at all times. What is it that needs doing in your life? What is it that needs doing inside You? How does the power of your intentions increase as you bring onboard cosmic help?

Ritual is excellent, but intention is crucial. Use your highest intentions to call a Convocation of help and watch how your life shifts. 

Watch how your life grows.
