FORGING IN FIRE

December 9, 2023|2018

AUGUST 23, 2018

You are sometimes the forge, sometimes the fire, and sometimes . . . the metal being heated and shaped. Tempering steel yields a stronger and less brittle product, an improvement to the qualities that make it durable and practical.

Life’s Forge offers you the same alchemical improvements. While the fire—challenge, fear, or tragedy—is uncomfortable, it can burn away impurities and cause you to take on higher aspects.

Study the last event where you were Forged in Fire. What impurities were cleansed away in the burning? What new qualities became part of your construct? Without judging the Fire itself, how has this process helped you? Who are you now that you couldn’t otherwise have been?

The Fire comes, bidden or not. So, when you rise from the ashes and spread your wings, revel in your new colors. Bear it All, the joy and the pain, with Grace and Nobility.

And finally, thank the Fire. It has birthed you again.

BEARING ALL

2018, BALANCE, BROKEN HEART

AUGUST 20, 2018

When the time comes to Bear a terrible trauma, you must Bear All: your genuine response to sorrow, grief, and regret, and your genuine ability for strength, clarity, and action. Without these two sets in harmony, you could not survive life’s foibles.

Who lives a life that absents grief and loss? Who lives a life that is lacking in joy? Taking things as they come, how they come--and as they are--requires courage, whether or not permission was given for such testing.

When you Bear All, the magnificent and the tragic all together, you are more human than at any other time. You are more complex. You are more fully realized.

But, why this way, you ask? Think of the struggle of the insect with its wings unfolded, encased tightly in its cocoon, struggling for freedom. If released before its time, its wings do not fully or properly develop. It is the struggle that gives the insect flight.

For humans, it is a similar function: to struggle is to develop latent skills; to know tragedy is to know your deepest strength; to face fear is to release unnecessary anxiety. To say that we must suffer to grow is a basic theorem.

You will not always grow when faced with trauma. Sometimes we collapse. Sometimes we hide deep in the womb of denial. Sometimes, we warp our behaviors in an effort to retaliate. But: the gift is there if you dare look for it.

Maybe you are grieving now—feeling pain and loss—and what we say to you this morning merely makes your anger and pain deepen. That is okay. Look at what you Bear and how you Bear it. Where are your strengths, and where are your weaknesses?

For we tell you surely that as long as you live, you will know suffering, in some measure, be it self-inflicted or seemingly incidental. Desire to expand your navigational skills. Desire to Bear All with nobility, humility, and compassion.

For you are a Guardian of the Light, and a child of Great All. You are the Heart, and the Mind, and the Center of the Construct.

Be you well. Be you strong. Be you brave. Our Love goes with you.

TETHERING POINTS

2018, CONNECTION, GRIEF, TETHERING

AUGUST 19, 2018

  ~~cutting outgrown connections

Regardless of how you envision Time, when you return over and over again to a point that has passed and is now part of your history, you become anchored, or Tethered in that place, complete with its emotions. Be that a time of great joy or a terrible trauma, Tethering causes a portion of your personal energy to lag behind. It detracts from your whole.

Death and Regret are two of the largest detractors, and two of the most difficult to escape. We wish we could change something in the past, to affect our present. Maybe we made some doubtful decisions. Maybe we lost someone to death. Maybe our life was altered by injury when we failed to heed our intuition.

Returning to the point at which something began or matured in our past, does not change the past. It changes only your present, and thereby, it shifts your future. You become a slave to the points at which you’re Tethered.

To change this, you must cut the cords that hold you in those places . . . and if you can’t perform the action your self, you must ask for help . . . and you must downtalk the fear, and false belief, that abolishing your Tether points will abolish your present life’s joys or remembrances.

Your Tribe is with you always, completely present and attentive. They love you beyond measure and unconditionally. Turn this over to them, your angels and guides. Ask that they help you abolish in your past what is negatively affecting you in your present, and very lovingly, they will.

The missing parts of you can come home, and once whole, you will handle all life conditions in higher and easier ways. 

Your Tribe is a whisper away.  Call them.

CONCISENESS

2018, CONCISENESS, CONFIDENCE, PERSISTENCE

AUGUST 18, 2018

To be Concise is to be clear and purposeful toward an outcome. How can you manifest what you desire through hazy signals and unclear language? If you are hungry, don’t merely ask for food, ask for the exact kind of food you desire, including how and where it should be served.

To Concisely manifest something, see that something in its present form, giving thanks for having already received it. Do not leave to chance, any details that may shift outcomes and cause a compensation.

You need not say that you wish to be employed as a graphic designer in the cartoon industry, at an office within five minutes of your home, but you should give Concise enough guidelines that what you desire has a basic form. You may be happier and more fulfilled by working in a different position at a different company, and by living somewhere other than where you now live.

You might say that you would like the opportunity to create art inside a creative industry that matches your skill to your needs, and that the commute be reasonable. You are not open to any job, nor limited to the cartoon industry, but await the Great All’s response to a creative endeavor that fulfills you.

Likewise, do not say that you’d like to be happier. Concisely frame what conditions would help you to be happier. Do not say that you’d like a simpler life. Concisely frame what you would like to abolish and what you would like to attract, item by item. And, always be open to a higher way . . . while realizing that stating “I want this or something even better,” is still Concise.

The Great All is in constant movement and metamorphosis. What you most desire is circling you at all times. Concisely ask for what you want and need. And be concisely grateful.

PARAMOUR

2018, ILLUSION, WEAKNESS

AUGUST 17, 2018

 

Who, or what, is your illicit lover? What fanciful entity commands your attention and energy? What do you give to the relationship, and what do you receive?

A Paramour hypnotizes; makes you feel needed; makes you feel desired. A Paramour can give you false self-esteem, or, related to in positive ways, can actually build self-esteem.

First, determine what it is that you love: not a person, but a concept, a place, a system, or an object set. How important is this in your life? Maybe it’s a job, a house, a hobby, or an ideal. Look at it. Determine how much energy you give to it, and the return on that energy.

A helpful Paramour will play to your strengths, and also call out to your weaknesses. A helpful Paramour will help you grow into a role you wish to play. An impeding Paramour will serve as the life raft in a sea of excuses: “I love it so much, it couldn’t be helped.” – “I see that I’m obsessing, but I can’t change it.” – “Yes, this Paramour (drinking problem, gambling problem, etc.), is destructive to me, but I can’t escape it.”

We have love affairs with what is dangerous, destructive, and even debilitating. Why? Is it a testing ground, or a sidebar that helps us to avoid our real work? Each Paramour has its own face, so that it up to you for determining.

This morning, audit your life books. Where goes your energy, and what does the endpoint return? Do you find destructive Paramours in your tally? If so, work to expose them. Now, work to abolish them.

When you love, love with Great All singing your praises. Love truly and for good cause. And, most importantly, love in a way that your love inspires the love of others.

SPECTRES AND SPECTROSCOPY

2018, AWARENESS, SEEING, VIBRATIONAL ATTUNEMENT

AUGUST 16, 2018

Spectroscopy is the art of splitting light by its wavelengths, usually into a spectrum. There is a certain part of that spectrum that is physically visible to humans, and a certain part that is not. That means that there is perpetually around you, inside you, and moving in and out through you, a higher and lower spectrum of vibrations that you cannot see. It is there that the Spectres abide.

Your peripheral vision is very sensitive, alert in ways that only your reptilian brain can command, surveying your environment and watching for events which require your attention. Déjà vu operates from this awareness, arising from the shadow, or Spectre, fields that allow for you to be aware of presences outside your visible fields. And how can this serve you?

The subtleties of these unseen vibrations can lead you to greater understanding, alert you to something potentially harmful, and provide opportunities for joy. To focus on the subtle allows you to give deeper meaning and reference to both your present and your presence.

Your spirit guides, and your higher self, communicate through these subtle wavelengths. You have sensed it especially in nature, feeling the vibrance and emotion of the living things around you: the language of trees and flowers, rock and water and sky. They communicate. They sing.  And if you tune in through your subtle or Spectre awareness, you will know their language.

Your brethren are all about you, and they include more than what is human or finite. The world is your family. The cosmos is your home. And the commingling aspect of All That Is is your nursery and your strength.

Revel in this larger scope. Feel the colors on the Spectrograph: seen and unseen. Meet the Spectres that love you without condition, and grow larger with each inclusion.

RASHNESS

2018, ACTION, CHOICES, EGO, REACTION, RESPONSE

AUGUST 15, 2018

There is a significant difference between Rashness and inspired action. Do not think because you are suddenly driven to do something, the impulse comes from a Higher source. Often, our urges are manufactured by ego and material desires—to settle something inside us that is unsettled or yearning.

When you are struck by a new idea, quietly explore it. 

What is your motivating force? What is your inspirational source? How do possible outcomes affect your future, and the future of others?

Many times we leap into action, when reflection is first required. We do not speak of emergency conditions, where sudden inspiration may save yourself or others from harm.

 

We speak of sudden ideas to do or build or change; these ideas should be plotted out for merit.

Think of three things from your past that you now regret. Do you discover a unifying theme—a similarity embedded in the urges? Do you respond to something with Rashness when you are feeling negative emotions: fear, anger, low self-esteem, greed, or grandiosity?

Have you discovered triggers that cause you to be Rash? How might you calm these demons so that your next actions will be inspired and uplifting?

Know your self through your actions . . . and equally through your non-actions. They paint a picture of where on the action scale you abide: Reacting Rashly in response to what you perceive as negative input, or Responding Intelligently in response to All, whether perceived as negative or positive.

You will only know your self through Truth, and that comes through reflection. Reducing Rashness will help you to cultivate greater and more compassionate Responses.
