RELIGION

2017, BELIEF, RELIGION, TENETS

OCTOBER 4, 2017

What is Religion, but a system to train the human Spirit? You are born of The Sacred, and inside you is a system of knowing that is yours, always. Coming together with others who think and believe as you do creates a powerful force, but in so doing, creates strictures which one might call tenets; and limits, which one may call facts.

This is not to say that Religion is a poor inductor for personal faith and discovery; it is to say that all systems limit understandings broader than the strokes from which they were created: “You may not conquer a problem by the thinking with which it was created . . .”

If you were indoctrinated inside a Religion, or attend one now, catalog your thoughts and beliefs. Compare those thoughts and beliefs to other Religions. Where do overlaps occur? Is there a set of tenets within these Beliefs that are similar, and perhaps for good reason?

To do no harm is a wonderful tenet. To speak Truth, share your wealth, and be of Loving heart are wonderful tenets. These concepts are very basic.

But . . . what if you want to explore what is Higher and Broader? Can you do this within your Religion, or must your soar above it until such time that all of the Religion’s tenets have fallen behind? This is a personal choice.

Spiritual Knowledge is who you are. When you study your Self and Great All without strictures, preconceived Beliefs and assumptions, and all the rigmarole that you have accumulated related to Being, you will find concepts and Truths so great, no Religion can embrace it.

So, merrily meet with others, but also contemplate alone. Let the small niggling things that scratch at your subconscious lead you through and out to concepts greater and Higher than what you have been taught.

See the largest picture that you can. Believe in greatness, especially your own greatness . . . and wisdom will seek you out.

With Wisdom, many things become possible. How would your Religion look if it was being dictated directly from the Wisdom of Great All, without the stricture of human society? Dream a new Religion—that of Truth and Wisdom. 

You were not meant to be small. You were made to contain universes, and Eternity, burning with the fires of Creation.

Blessed Be This Day

Point by point, challenge your tenets. How does it change how you understand the world, and how you understand your role in, and effect upon, the world?

FUROR

2017, ENERGY, INCLUSION

OCTOBER 3, 2017

There is a Furor in the world that you are part of. The wave of excitement, rage, and high feelings is a self-generating, self-perpetuating fire that ebbs and falls around your current events, trends, and reasonings. That energy, harnessed, can fuel whole cosmos; certainly it can change the status quo.

Injustice, slights, perversity, greed, grandiosity, hierarchy and war are fed by The Furor. With correct direction and intention, Love, Harmony, and Balance is fed by The Furor, too.

Which waves are you currently feeding: how many fueled with Hate, and how many with Love? THEY is a term that includes YOU. Your Song is Individual and Indivisible . . . and Inclusive. The YOU is responsible for the THEY.

Understand that by doing nothing, by taking no action to withdraw or resist from any Furor with which you are aligned, you contribute. Resist apathy. Cut ties. Work for the Furors that further your mission to become a Higher, more loving Soul.

The energy is all around you. Use it. Call it. Banish your sense of depletion, exhaustion, and overwhelm by withdrawing from destructive Furors and contributing to the positive ones.

Use your Furor to push back your own darkness and grow your Light. Use your Furor as a fuel to forge boldly ahead. Let your Furor make a path before each foot step. Let your Furor tend your Fires.

Be your Furor and be Passion. Be your Furor and be Might. Be your Furor and become a Beacon for those who would follow the same Light.

For Discussion:  Focused on your connection to the Light and Energy around you, gently pull on those resources until you feel replenished. Make sure that you are filtering away any anger, hate, and maladaptive emotions, absorbing only what is best for the Highest Good.

How do you feel in your body and mind? What can you complete now that you didn't feel you could complete before this exercise? Did you call on aspects of your Self to filter this energy and deliver facets attuned to your current specific needs?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how easy was this exercise compared to similar exercises you have tried before?

CALLING

2017, COMMUNICATION, LEARNING, WISDOM

OCTOBER 2, 2017

There is a time for Calling your Self to the Present. That time is now. Gather the pieces of your Self, which are distant and away working or healing. Bring them home to very point in time/space where you currently dwell. Harmonize each Song with the Song of your whole.

This may be done audibly; it may be done silently. It may be done with word-thoughts or image-thoughts, or even in opening all the gateways to Self in invitation to Self.

Call the pieces of your Self that are most needed at any time. You exist in many planes, times, and realities. And many of your pieces have information and skills that you are not consciously aware of . . . yet.

To complete a task that is new, Call the pieces of Self that have Higher information and Skills. Integrating these pieces, you will find that the task is accomplished more easily and with greater results.

To Sing, Call your Songster pieces. To create in wood, call your Carpenter pieces. To place words in orders and forms that best express your intention, call your Writerly pieces.

You are so much more than you know.

Call Out to your Entire Self, your Selfless Self, your Eternal Self. Get to know the pieces of You that make a larger, more complete version of Your Self. Know Your Self.

Calling is The Key.

For Discussion:  Choose one task with which you are currently struggling. Sit quietly while you connect with the many pieces and versions of your Self, all the while keeping in focus the task at which you wish to excel.

Invite to your Self, through the filter of High Self and Highest Regard and Help, those aspects that can aid you in this task. See the many dimension and textures required to make the task succeed.

Repeat this process until you feel confident that you have integrated these pieces, then set your self to the task with full confidence that what you need has been delivered. Remember, there will be a learning curve while your mortal physiology, neurology, emotional and intellectual chemistry come online. Be patient, and then, proceed.

UNBENT

2017, PERCEPTION, SEEING

OCTOBER 1, 2017

There is a perception that what one sees, IS. When you are looking at, or perceiving, something through your human eyes, you are opening to a minimum of information. By using your physical eyes, and the brain receptors upon which they work, you are setting governors.

A beam of Light projected through a glass of water may show colors perceivable to the human eye, if the angle and trajectory are favorable. Where were those colors before this presentation? How did these colors hide inside a white, or invisible, ray of Light?

Just as these human-perceivable colors are always present in the Light, other factors are perpetually in action that you see, judge, and study for what they present only at the surface—missing what is fractally available just below.

Can you Bend your thoughts as well as your sight? Can you depart from the straight-and-narrow socio-cultural thought-trains that entrain you? In Bending to see beneath, you may discover other worlds. Certainly, you will discover other ideas, realities, and new Truths.

Who is your neighbor? Working to perceive your neighbor as the colors within the Light, what will you see? How differently will you feel? How does it change your world and your perception of The Self?

To be Unbent, Unyielding, and Un-open is to be rigid, adamant, and closed: it is to fool The Self, which cannot be fooled in Its Eternal terms.

Will you look just around the corner? beneath? beyond? 

Will you flex Your Self, your Beliefs, your mind-thoughts, and your habits . . . in order to see more, and more thoroughly and True? Bend. Unbend. Look around you. See. 

There is a world of Color in The Light.

For Discussion: Choose one co-worker, one family member, and one neighbor. See them in the full spectrum of Light, as you see a rainbow within one beam of white or invisible Light. What do you learn?

When you look at your self as a rainbow, exposed in the Light, what do you discover? Can you train your beliefs to see more when you Look? To feel more when you perceive?

WHIPPORWILL

2017, CORE, HEALING, PURPOSE

SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

The WHIPPORWILL bird is seldom seen, but its Song is known to many. It is, in fact, named for its Song, and given to myth and tale as a mystical creature, though it is small and its appearance quite common.

Great and greatly ornamented birds have no greater Song--for the true Song comes from the heart. What is your Core Song? At full spectrum, your Song is mystical, a part of, and part of the process of, Great All. Listen...Are you missing notes? Does your Melody suffer?

Your Song moves like fluid, pouring out and through, changing what it touches.

Sing your Song. Heal in it what needs healing. Clarify what is muddy. Expand and share it. You are your Song...and It is You.

Blessed Be This Day

For Discussion:  Describe your Core Song. Note where it is muddy and unclear. Note where it needs uplifting.

What is the perfect audience for your Song? How do you Sing your Song in such a way that your core audience can hear?

Imagine your core Song, perfected. What has changed?

EVENTS

2017, ACCORD, ACCOUNTABILITY, ALIGNMENT

SEPTEMBER 22, 2017

What occurs in Life calibrates with You and all of your factors: who you are in the moment; what you believe; how and where you invest your energy; your level of wisdom, understanding, compassion, and relevance. One Event will affect five persons in five different ways. They will write five different stories about its details. 

When you peruse your journal of past Events, what pattern do you find? How personally involved are you in these Events? How many Events did you trigger, and how many happened around you, triggered by someone else? How many Events exploded in your Life, and how many were directed specifically towards you?

If you are an herbalist accused of witchcraft, the Event is very personal. You, the person, are being singled out for punishment—right? Draw back the curtain, however, and see how the stage hands are moving about, adding their beliefs, ideas, and energies to this Event.

The Event has become centralized around the herbalist, but it is so much more. Some persons in the crowd might have been critically assisted by the herbalist. Some persons may have lost loved ones because the herbalist failed, or wouldn’t try to help. Some persons have been so socialized by the idea that herbalism is evil, they cannot see beyond that. And some persons have caught the virus, the wave that travels between persons, shifting their vibration, and justifying what the larger force is exuding.

An Event that began as an inquisition may bloom into a burning, with formerly placid townsfolk wielding pitchforks as they scream: “Burn the witch!” How does this happen?

Look at your world and its consensus. Events motor by you in a steady stream. Some Events you harmonize with, and some are antithesis to you. You might say, “How can they do such things?” with the idea of exclusion . . . but who is THEY?

You are THEY; we are THEY. All of humankind is THEY.

This is difficult to acknowledge, that any part of the self can contribute to Events with which we disagree, and more, Events to which we are adamantly opposed. But . . . even non-judgmental energy is wielded by persons who have Beliefs and Tenets, and those Beliefs and Tenets affect the whole. This is how peaceful protest can separate persons from their actions, and gather in a tide to fight destructive Events.

Taken to the level of personal, what riots are happening in your life—what Events? You are the herbalist, and the townsfolk . . . for you contain All.

Understand Events for what they are, for your part in them, for what you allow even when you disagree. Better, create Events that dovetail with your Belief, your Passions, and your Vision. Leading is a sure way to bring Events into focus, and focus changes your life exponentially.

Today, peruse the Events currently affecting your life . . . then create an Event that furthers your destiny. When you are Master rather than follower or participant, the Events in your Life can be made beautiful.

For Discussion: Identify the Current Event with which you align, or actively do not resist. State your belief about this Current Event's tenets.

What action in the world is this Event currently creating? Who is most affected by these actions?

If you are in agreement with this Current Event, how could you actively and more genuinely contribute more? If you are in disagreement with this Current Event, how could you actively and more genuinely oppose these actions?

How would this change the world? (The THEY) How would this change You? (Part of The THEY)

ALL THE TIME

2017, INTEGRITY, PURPOSE, TIME

SEPTEMBER 21, 2017

The symphony continues, but Songs end. New Songs begin, with a new composer for each.

You are who you are today because of the choices you’ve made. You are a product of Time and Experience. In the Great All, Time is yours . . . All the Time. While mortal, however, Time is the greatest commodity. It is limited, and as such must be used as the precious resource that it is.

When you assess your day, how much of your Time was used for vital pursuits and how much Time did you otherwise use? Did you give a great portion of your Time to worry and striving, to anger and jealousy and revenge and hate? Did you continue placing steps on a path that you knew would lead to no good end? How are you managing your day?

And, how are you managing your Time, your mark upon the world, the evidence that you are here, now, doing these things? You are The Composer. Write your Songs well. Live your Life well. Be well. One day, All The Time will once again be yours.

In the Present, use the Time you have in pursuit of happiness and Love. By drawing Light, you inspire others to do the same. Your beautiful music causes others to stop and listen, causing them to compose their own new Songs.

Sing. Dream. Compose. Draw your actions from Love. And realize that every moment is precious. Use all of your Time well, all of the Time.

Blessed Be This Day

For Discussion: Considering yesterday only, how wisely did you use your Time? In percentage, how much was spent in loving and higher pursuits, and how much was spent otherwise? Can you identify how all of your time was spent?

Outside your higher pursuits, how did you spend your time? Do not count idle time spent as lower pursuit time if it was necessary for rest, regeneration, and enjoyment of life. Do you feel guilty when you are not actively pursuing activities that others consider productive? How do you divide what you consider productive and what you consider non-productive? How does this differ from lower pursuits?

How much time do you give to guilt, regret, living in the past, and replaying scenarios you have no control over? How might your life improve if you re-purposed those allotments of time to higher pursuits?
