EXITING

   ~leaving life with value-added gifts

Exiting one place requires Entering another. While Energies may be dispersed, fragmented, re-imaged, and re-created, it is always driven. Energy always has a goal.

Being born to the mortal form, you enter the Earthly realm, and you have therefore Exited the non-mortal and non-Earthly realm. This offers little comfort when times of Transition are high, and the actions and exchanges are rapid and unexpected, but do not doubt that formulae are at work, albeit they may be invisible to you at the moment.

Who are we? Why are we here? Are our achievements and perceived failings the cumulative data that form the infrastructure of our lives? Are we more than our decisions?

Yes. We are much more . . . but we are not automatons, programmed with data only to follow an external agenda with predicted outcomes. What value has the human experience without the sublime calculations of the Self? 

We choose to be driven and engaging, just as we choose to be withdrawn and apathetic, and repetition of the patterns is the key to actualizing what we would manifest.

If your Ideal Self is courageous, you must engage life events with courage. If your Ideal Self is a risk-taker, you must take risks. Making lists and making excuses does not suffice. It is easy. It can offer false hope. Seeing your Self as something more but taking no action, relegates your current and future transformations to mere musings.

For this month, whatever month that may be as you read these words, honestly assess, evaluate, and invigorate your response to a life condition you find daunting. If you are a procrastinator, complete one dreaded task every day. If you dream creations and do not create them, make creating a daily practice, even if it is a small effort . . . like drawing a happy face in the jam on your morning toast.

To fully Be, we must fully Do. This can include, but does not need to include, the striving in which we engage to earn material goods. You are more than this. You are a.l.w.a.y.s. more than this. Earth is providing unequaled opportunity to learn about Exiting, Exiting from one state to another, from one set of practices to another, from one value structure to another. Use it, so that when you Exit, your Gifts remain behind you.

Use your Light and Love and Pure Potential, as both teacher and student. Engage the cycle. Expand. Listen to the Song being Sung by your every mysterious and magical faction. No one can do exactly what you can do. Exit the shadows. Share your Song.

FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP

2019, PERSPECTIVE, STRUGGLE

MAY 23 2019 FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP

FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP

   ~greater views for greater insights

From the Mountaintop, the views are longer and more detailed. Rising above the plains and valleys, you may now form insights that were impossible from the bottom.

You will feel wonder. You will connect to the thread of commonality rather than separation. From your village you see the sheep herder, the rice farmer, the weaver, the tailor, and the metalsmith. From the Mountaintop you see how long the rivers are and where they connect. You see green fields touching. You see villages peopled by communities who eat and sleep and dwell in structures.

From the Mountaintop you are more engaged in Heartfulness than you are in Thoughtfulness because the larger more inclusive view causes you to experience the miracle of creation. This is why you feel exultant, taking the world in from a high peak.

This is also true inside Self/self. When you are in the valley, low inside your self, concerned with the struggles of daily living and feeling small, you are noticing how unalike you are to what you desire to be. 

When you rise to your own Mountaintop, that is, Higher Ideals concerned more with Eternity, you will sense greater commonality and therefore, greater potentials.

So, when you are struggling, down in your back, sick in your stomach, having difficulty with moving your feet forward, leave the lower plains and concerns and rise upward, up-up-up to the Mountaintop. Breathe up and out. 

Feel your connections to earth and sky. Give your Thoughts rest, and experience Life through your Heart.

HEARTFULNESS ABOVE THOUGHTFULNESS

HEARTFULNESS ABOVE THOUGHTFULNESS

   ~traveling in another’s shoes

How do you travel in another’s shoes? It is not through thought-and-prayer. Thought-and-Prayer keeps you distanced, like the supplicant waiting outside the city gates with too much luggage to pass through the needle’s eye. Thoughtfulness keeps you safe; it causes you to keep another’s pain or distress from infiltrating your own system, your Heart and your Heartfulness.

When you feel in your Heart for another person, you feel how their Thoughts and Emotions are affecting them. This happens with the most regularity when a shared experience becomes common: when you feel sad for people whose homes have burned, and the difference you feel when your own home has burned. Ever after, experiencing just the information of someone’s home burning causes you to respond differently.

What about losing a loved one? You may say “our thoughts and prayers are with them.” How ineffectual does that feel when you are the one experiencing the loss? Does Thoughtfulness equate with Heartfulness? No. Thoughts divide us. Our Hearts engage us.

To be understood and treated with wisdom and compassion, we must do our best to do the same for others. We must feel in our Hearts for the hungry child, the suicidal father, the displaced family, the shamed veteran, the hopeless cancer patient, the grieving mother.

Thoughtfulness is a first step, but Heartfulness is where our bounties lie. Be Thoughtful. Now, take action that is Heartful.

FAITH VERSUS CONFIDENCE

FAITH VERSUS CONFIDENCE

~self-challenge as superior to belief

Faith is a belief founded in tradition, which is repetition, formed most often on the experiences of others rather than Self/self. Whether your Faith has come to you based on repetition, supposition, or witnessing, it began and probably still is, external to your core.

When you have Confidence, you go beyond Faith. That is not to say that Confidence may not fail you, just as Faith can fail you, but having Confidence comes from a self-observance which is more individual and reliable. 

You may have Faith that the sun will rise each morning, because you have witnessed this, or you may build Confidence of the sunrise according to how its cycles feel at your core: through meditation, knowing, and communication with the greater aspects of your planet.

Think of one thing that has your Faith. Why do you have Faith in this thing? How much of this Faith is built on a story that was handed down to you, that your community has assured you is correct? Does this Faith have two sides? If you do this good things will occur, and if you do that bad things will occur? Is your Faith-idea based in polarity?

Confidence is the ability to trust the Self/self in thought and action. It is the ability to release Self/self judgment and expectations of particular outcomes. It is the wisdom to feel your Self/self and your gifts in this world and apply them to the best of your abilities, while holding an open mind and an open heart.

Confidence is personal power utilized for action and change, even when limited to the Self/self.

Spend time testing one Faith-thought you hold as real. Now, self-challenge from every aspect you may mentally acquire, particularly those outside your culture and belief system. What do you find? 

Wherever Faith is holding you back; wherever Faith is limiting your world; wherever Faith is creating cosmically untrue beliefs, consider how you might grow by instead building Confidence with which to navigate your world.

OPEN ARMS : OPEN HEART

OPEN ARMS : OPEN HEART

   ~studying human nature in its commonality

Everyone arrives to human form through a Mother: that is the greatest commonality. That is the most important idea. Your father has helped to make you, but it is the forming of the body and the carriage of the body that are singular to the Mother’s role in your birth, and every person on earth today has been delivered by a Mother. 

That agreed upon, why does humankind in-fight and disagree about so much? Why is it that some humans believe they are Higher or more worthy than others? Why do some live in wealth while others live in poverty? When one can see from a greater field of vision, one understands that we are all related. We are all born into Life, and again into Death. We are One Family.

Even if one does not understand this basic concept, it may be embraced by the Open Arms/Open Heart tenants. Being unique, individual, and indivisible aspects of Great All, we are far more alike than we are different. Think of the cells that comprise your body: they all began from one cell. That cell diversified, but its origin will always be singular and pure.

And this is the heartache of your world: not understanding this, not honoring this, not organizing your societies around this idea. When you embrace your brethren with Open Arms, your Heart opens. When you Open your Heart, your Arms Open. You are meant for so much more than you are doing. When you work together, those Higher things become closer and more real.

Think of someone in your Life that should be embraced by you but isn’t. What can you do to bring them closer? How can you change your Thought-Ideas to banish Scriptures that hold you back? How can you develop Open Arms and an Open Heart in order to grow past your small ideas and fears?

Be a leader. Shine the Light. As you embrace others, they will embrace you.

SCRIPTURES VS INNER SCRIPT

2019, BELIEF, INBORN WISDOM, TRUTH

MAY 7, 2019

 SCRIPTURES VERSUS INNER SCRIPT

~following self when externals exceed core

When you are following a collective voice arisen from thought and belief, as constructed through a social normative, you are letting the voice speak you. When you are still and quiet, listening to your Inner Script, you reflect the voice of Self, modulated at your highest level of understanding. 

Scriptures are form-patterns that result from repetition, while Inner Script is the reflection of spontaneous wisdom based on eons of Truth.

Ask your self: Why do you do this thing or that? Why do you believe this thing or that? What are the consequences of one action versus another, based on the accumulated beliefs of your life? Have you been socialized in a thought-structure that is limiting and biased? 

Do you have firmly fixed beliefs regarding how life works, especially those that directly conflict with others’ fixed ideas and beliefs? How possibly damaging and limiting are those thoughts and beliefs? You are Re-Made into this Life with a core set of “instructions” for living.

Mostly, these core instructions will be overwritten by your family, community, and world-at-large. What replaces these instructions? How small an idiom constructs your beliefs?

Do you believe in heaven and hell? Do you accept the idea of punishment and reward, based entirely on belief? Do you believe that you are merely human and require a mediator to communicate with your Creator?

We are not suggesting that you remake your beliefs into a different but still-rigid form. We are suggesting that your fully understand the nature of your thoughts and beliefs. We suggest that you consider how limiting, false, idealized, or misdirected your thoughts and beliefs might be.

Once you understand what you believe and why you believe it, you can grow past the tangled thoughts that reflect your dominant paradigm. You can deeply understand in which ways your beliefs conflict with your Inner Script. You can abandon your taught, normative, and often oppressive Scriptures, in favor of independent plasticity and creative exploration.

Be a reflection of Who your Creator intended, not only for your self/Self, but for the whole of HumanKind. Compassion, Love, Purpose, and Inclusion are waiting just ahead.

LOSS AND GAIN

2019, BALANCE, EXCHANGE, GAIN, LOSS

MAY 6, 2019

LOSS AND GAIN

~how exchange maintains balance

You may believe that your Losses outweigh your Gains. Is this true? With contemplation, you may . . . surprisingly . . . discover that your life is in balance, that your life has given you as much, or more, than it has taken. Whom or What is behind these Gains and Losses? What is revealed by exploring beneath the surface of things?

When you are born into mortality, your mother Loses your second heartbeat, and you Gain the new physical world. When you leave home, you Lose your current sense of security and identity, and Gain independence. When you first give your self over to another person, you Gain companionship and assistance, while at the same time you Lose part of your identity and independence. In fact, there are few situations you may consider that do not display shifting values of Loss and Gain.

When your Loss is Great and you are not open to Gain, or the Gain perceived, you may linger in Limbo for some time. When you cannot see the True purpose of Loss, you are aware, and therefore awakened, to a much smaller array of possibilities. Before the end of your mortal Life, when emptying of the body is necessary, the feeling of incompleteness is haunting.

For Losses where there is much trauma and deep hurt, such as the Loss of a child or a beloved spouse, or the Losses that come with war and catastrophe, the mind shrinks away from the idea that anything will ever be right again, but it will come right in time. You may forever mourn, but you will become more balanced and once again, more broad-seeing.

Look at your Life. Study its Velocity. Study Its Gains and Losses. Consider also what you have Taken and what you have Given, something that is easy to overlook when you are in a cycle of Loss. Correct your course accordingly. Know that every Gain requires Loss: breathing, eating, sleeping, movement, non-movement. This is Law.

Maintain balance by being as open as possible to the mechanisms of Loss and Gain. Understand where you are in the cycle. If you cannot come to terms with your Losses, give Grace for your Gains. Be a person who Lives with an open mind and an open heart. Be Alive in your World. Be Alive in your Body. Be Alive in your Self.
