SPOTTING

   ~recognizing high and low places

At times you will achieve more than you believe you are capable. At times your confidence will be greater than your results. Do you mark these peaks and valleys, returning to them for future planning?

We all work with highs and lows. We all react and respond. At times we are whole-heartedly engaged, and sometimes we are just going through the motions. This is life. This is balance.

But . . . when you plan for the Highest results, do you know what pieces of self and resources should be recruited? Do you know how to set your self up for success, and how to avoid actions that have previously led to short-falls?

Think of the last event in which you engaged below your target desire. Were you fully invested? Did you pre-educate your self? Were you thorough, or did you skip over some important aspects in your planning?

Most of us can conceive of a better plan once we have fallen short: the perfect action or the perfect words. Do you allow this to become a pattern, or do you take action to maximize future results? How do you weed out the obstacles, including the hidden motivations and fears that hold you back?

Let us return to the analogy of the writer. If you promised that your story or book would be done by a certain date, how close did you come? If you did not reach your goal, what was to blame: daily goals, weekly goals, research, feeling unqualified compared to your heroes, inability to focus, procrastination (and many more)?

To reach a Primary Agenda, you must build the Secondary Agendas. You must clearly be aware of the highs and lows in your behavior and beliefs and effectively Spot which components of a process support you, and which do not. Spotting these fluctuations is the first step in addressing them.

So, if I am a writer who does not meet my daily expected output, how do I change this? Am I lacking focus (or allowing for distractions)? Am I physically or emotionally unwell (and how might these goals, if perceived to be difficult, heighten those effects)? Be clear and motivated.

Even if you are not a writer in the earthly sense, you ARE writing your story. You ARE your own book, and many other characters live in that book with you. When you lift the story you are writing, you lift all of your characters. When your story proceeds at a lively pace, with truth and exposition, you flesh-out the life.

You are an author. What is it you are writing? Are you producing your pages on pace with your goals? Have you discovered your deepest purpose, or working on its collaboration in your life? Understand your character's voice and motivation; understand how the other characters see you.

Spotting the infrastructure of highs and lows will help you to reach more easily and fall less frequently. Be your own editor. Allow your character to grow. And most of all, allow your character to speak in a confident, honest voice.

 CAUSAL COLLUSION

~identifying self-sabotage

Whether your blockages are large or small, you exhibit a pattern of behavior that when studied, illuminates your role as life manager. Can you identify and separate external blockages from the deeply-rooted patterns that support Causal Collusion --all the ways in which you self-sabotage by contributing to failure?

Let us first be clear about Failure. We do not use this word-thought as an indicator of how the world discusses your behavior, but as a pattern of goal-setting without follow-through. Failure, as we mean it, is relinquishing both free will and will power in favor of creating blame.

If your Primary Agenda is to become a writer, you must write. You must do more than imagining you will write. You must make the time to write and have the discipline to do it. There will be many Secondary Agendas you must meet to support the Primary.

You cannot believe that someone else is holding your time hostage. You cannot wait for a particular physical environment or specific equipment. In the beginning, you may be unable to prioritize any specific resources, and you must continue anyway, whether that be writing by the poorest means in brief time windows, lacking any solitude or resources.

You must construct the necessary Secondary Agendas for reaching the Primary.

In Causal Collusion, you listen to the dark inner voice that gives limitless reasons for withdrawal, no-starts, and self-esteem poverty. You must not blame. Will other people require your time and energy? Yes. Could your Primary Agenda be difficult? Yes. But, if you have determined that your Primary Agenda is well suited to you and you desire it, you must release all blame.

Perhaps you give more time and energy to family, work or community than makes you happy. Do not blame. Seek solutions. Do not side with the discord. Do not say that you would make a fine writer, only if: others would allow it, your body and mind would allow it, your community would allow it, your talents would allow it. These ideas put you in Collusion with what you believe are Causes.

What is it you want? Is this the same as your Purpose? 

Do your desire and your purpose work together, or are they at odds?

Today, study your primary desire. Compare this to your purpose. Make a list of all the reasons in which you are succeeding, and a list of all the reasons you fall short. In the list of shortcomings, do you see a pattern? Are you in Causal Collusion with factors you use as excuses? How can you be your own Highest supporter while engaged as your own saboteur?

Honesty is sometimes difficult, but Truth is the torch bearer. Look into your heart and mind and complete an inventory of how goes your building of the temple. What do you find?

You are surrounded by Love. Do not concern your self with the lesser things. Be in Collusion with what is High, what is best for Great All. Your journey may be difficult, but let it be True and Real. Let the temple you build be High and Shining.

SECONDARY AGENDAS

   ~how shadow plans support the primary

When we possess clarity enough to know our purpose, we have established a Primary Agenda. To shine, we must support this Primary Agenda with Secondary Agendas, the way that a temple cut into stone is supported by the stairs leading to its entrance.

These stairs are our Shadow Plans, building one upon the other to support and give shape to our Primary Agenda. Through experience, gained skills, gathered resources, and our ability to fine tune, assimilate, or reject each aspect for both its singular and its partisan qualities, we develop the stepping stones to the top.

Let us say you feel driven to teach a body-awareness movement system. You might likely be studying the system as a student. You might have grown fit for the task. You may have planned how your teaching will differ from what you are currently learning. You might even think ahead to certification, licensing, acquiring a place to teach, and a plan for establishing yourself.

Your shadow plans, Secondary Agendas, are being arranged with the objective of reaching your Primary Agenda. But, what happens when your Secondary Agendas do not come together; what happens when you are met with so many obstacles you begin to believe that your Primary Agenda is badly considered?

First: look at the large picture. Are you, in body, in mind, and in spirit intrinsically suited for this Primary Agenda? Do you possess the minimum requirements to be a prima ballerina, an international motivational speaker, or an astronaut? Perhaps, and perhaps you have set a Primary Agenda that is such a bad match you will be sure to fail.

You could be a ballet dancer. You could motivate people in your community. You could invest in a telescope and join with other people who love to gaze at the skies. There is much satisfaction and growth to be had from loving the activities to which you surrender. You need not pursue these activities as if the peak for your Primary Agenda must cast a shadow on all of Earth.

Though the world may have taught you that your endeavors are lacking if they do not meet falsely high standards, you must consider your own path. Do you want to be a famous person, traveling, meeting exceptional demands, and giving the greater parts of your time, attention and energy to this one goal . . . or do you want to do something well and whole-heartedly, leaving time for home, a balanced life, and for other pursuits? You must decide.

We are not saying that one way is better than another. We are saying that to know oneself is to weigh and balance your desires with probable outcomes. Know when your Primary Agenda is a good match; know when your ideas need adjustment (without seeing it as failure), and know when you are failing or overreaching in such a way that you must rethink your entire Primary Agenda.

Whatever you choose, whether a Jack-of-All-Trades, a Dabbler, or a Master, be true to the realities of what you are working toward. Construct your plans with Integrity, and pursue those plans with Integrity.

Take a moment today to envision the temple you are busy building. What is its name and its purpose? What stairs are you building to access it? And will you continue to the top, or will you pause at some point to enjoy the view, deciding that your temple will incorporate a rearranged facade?

Turn from the stairs and look out.

What do you see?

 THE QUASAR

   ~bright bodies emitting light and energy

The Quasar's exact formulation has not yet been fully determined by Earth Scientists, but to say that a Quasar is a bright body emitting light and energy can be stated with some surety. What have you in common with this phenomenon?

In all of Creation, your Light and Vibrational Signature are unique. Only you can Sing your individual Song. Only you can give to Great All exactly what you will. You contribute whether or not you are conscious of the notes which comprise your Song, the key in which it is given, and its length and complexity.

This known, it is valuable to study the quality of what it is you contribute, and why, and to do this as consciously as possible.

If you were to pass immediately from this mortal life, what is the Song you leave behind for this journey? How self-aware have you been, how kind? What gift have you left for those who follow?

Most of us are born, live our lives, and pass away, giving only the smallest percentage of our selves to a common cause. What should that cause be? There is no right answer. There is no set of standards that can quantify such things, other than to say that what is given to the common good creates a large and more complex song than what might be composed for the isolated (so to speak) individual.

We do not suggest that you put aside your personal goals and crusade for the world, or that you leave your Earthly goods or Earthly agendas behind. A kind smile, a shared meal, acceptance, and compassionate study make large waves in the consciousness on whole.

Remember that you are a bright, shining entity. You radiate. You affect the bodies, structures, thoughts, and emotions of everyone around you. Allow your Self to be radiant. Allow your Self to lead with Love. Allow your Self to be Whole and engaged.

We hear your Song and rejoice. We join you in this Symphony.

DABBLING

     ~disrupting mastery with haphazard interest

The construction of something first imagined 

can be an exultant achievement. 

Setbacks will occur, requiring modification. This allows that a second effort will yield more streamlined results than the first, and a tenth effort will reveal higher and greater nuances impossible in all earlier attempts. This is how Masters hone their craft: perseverance and attention to detail gained through frequency.

Even repetition, such as placing an object inside a bag, over and over, will yield gains: a direction, a posture, a sequence. Artistic processes are no different. Even when the desired outcome is to produce remarkably different works, the skills necessary, mechanical and ethereal, have still been clarified.

But what about the Jack-Of-All-Trades? Do Dabblers abandon mission when they move from one field of study at another? Do they disrupt their ability to master one thing by having a haphazard interest in many things? Does the sculptor undo the painter? Does the writer undo the musician? Does the mathematician disrupt the farmer?

At what point does moving between

specific activities disrupt the process,

and where is the line at which

one creative form inspires the other?

This depends on the artist.

How do you manage challenge? Can you step back and consider all of the factors, giving a second attempt more merit? How many times will you believe your efforts failed before you abandon a project?

If your attempts are few, have you receded by gaining the wisdom that you and this effort are a bad match (you are not after all, a Flamenco dancer), or have you surrendered to a projected exhaustion attached to doing something well? (You cannot justify the time required to master the Flamenco steps as compared to your enjoyment, or necessity, of the process?)

Knowing self/Self is illuminating, even when we are seeing the smallest fragments at any given time. Think of the last effort you began and then abandoned. First: why did you engage your self in this endeavor? What did you hope to gain or experience? Did you begin with the correct information?

Now, why did you abandon this? Was it too difficult? Was it unsatisfying? Were you lacking natural skills and were unwilling to develop acquired skills? OR: do you choose a new thing to avoid working on an old thing? Do you become hopeless and self-punishing when you are not immediately competent?

It is possible to be competent in many endeavors. Music inspires poetry. Poetry inspires dance. Dance inspires painting. Painting inspires sculpture. Sculpture inspires rock works. Rock works inspire architecture. Architecture inspires math.

So: be a Jack-Of-All-Trades if that is a happy endeavor. Make no excuses for enjoying many ways to express your self. But: be aware of patterns where you behave as a fugitive, running from one endeavor to another. Rather than bringing together the many colors of your talent, you will scatter it, and as it scatters, it scatters your core energy.

Master things or Dabble, but keep your Core organized and energized. You are star matter. Let the universe shine.

BIRTHING

2014, BIRTH, ELEMENTS, MIRACLES

BIRTHING, 2014, DECEMBER 18

Birthing is the greatest transition known to Us. 

It is the unparalleled “Coming Into.”

During the mortal lifetime, one tends to think of the Birth of new physical Life as Birthing, and certainly it is the experience that each incarnated person feels most personally while human, and witnesses more than any other.  Your mortal death is perceived as a Birthing here, for the Spirit and Soul leaves the spent shell of the body, and emerges fresh into this world . . .

Sadly, you often mourn as We rejoice.

The process of personal Birthing is recognizable:  entering as a child to a world where the properties of two parents have created a physical vehicle for you to enter and occupy for a mortal lifetime.  Once, and yet still in very small populations there, Birthing Rituals greet the incoming, grounding them in what is a very heavy and disorienting environment (as compared to the spaces we inhabit between incarnations).

Rituals have been lost there, thought of now as backward, and even barbaric.  Is the rock barbaric, who gives its minerals to make your bones?  Is the soil merely to be trod upon, like a lifeless muck—and never understood as a live, intelligent property that synergistically sings forward the plant matters that feed and heal you? 

What of the waters?  Are they so mind-poor you must instruct them in cycles and movement, in how to enter and exit your body, in how to enliven and operate each and every one of your cells?  Without the transformative energy of fire and wind and gravity and sunlight, would electricity exist?  Could you, as a human, exist?

Think you the most basic mettles of your beautiful Earth are barbaric?  They are the incomparable components of Earth’s song.  And together, un-civilization is trying to sing louder by destroying the instruments with which Mother Earth sings.

Birthing, the great “Coming Into,” is a time for celebration.  While each Spirit has made plans for their Life, inspiration may take them anywhere within the web they spin for themselves.  Yes; each tapestry is different; each voice unique.

When you greet a new Spirit, you hold the hand of a miracle.  Do you know how to speak to a miracle? 

Love is their language.  Gratitude is their manner.  Grace is their style.

When you allow the newly Birthed to remain un-harmed by un-civilization, and true to the ideals that live deeper than lies, you may watch the beauty of it grow strong.  Like a flower with its face in the sun, it will remind you where you belong.

The Great All embraces you this morning, sending Love. Love One Another. Let your Love extend to All . . .

EVERNESS

2020, EXPANSION/ CONTRACTION, MASTER IDENTITY, THE NOW

EVERNESS, 2020 MAY 09

EVERNESS

     ~seeds of the Whole

Whomever; Whatever; Wherever; Whyever; However

Everness is part of the Whole.

It is the pivot at the center determining the Way.

Asking questions about Life will always return to the distilled points: who and what you are; how and why you are here; and when and where your journey will begin. We tell you: if you are born, your journey has begun.

You have purpose, but few are born with the fire of Knowing in their hearts and minds. Few engage with early instruments for growth and immediately work to Master them. Child prodigies are the few. Adult seekers are the many. 

Do you believe in your Everness--that you exist in more than "the now"? Do you believe that you are a book with a beginning, middle and end? Or, are you are generator who feeds from all points around, radiating outward in rising and falling waves that connect and commingle with other rising and falling waves?

Your Everness, with its many dimensions, is part of the whole. The seed of you contains many other seeds, breaking from the darkness like plants pushing up and out towards the sunlight. What Magic makes this Life? How do your many aspects, concerned with the who, what, when, how, why, and where, even when in opposition, still harmoniously entangle at the center--or do they?

Feel your rhythm. Which parts work with your immediate surroundings? Which parts don't? What reasoning do you find for both?

A drop of poison in your glass may be fatal . . . but a drop of poison in a lake may not affect you at all. When you are aware of, and living in, your Everness, you are in contact with Great All, commingling in its "stuff." You grow beyond the glass and engage the lake. You move past the abilities of the glass, and avail your self of the lake's greater potentials.

Your Everness is your Master Identity. It is the point from which you may master the Master. It is the place of beginning for the seeker, a quasar. A fully developed quasar gives off enormous quantities of power, no matter that it may have started as an urge, idea, or mind sculpture.

Your Everness is crucial to outgrowing your mortal sense of self. You are here to be human. Do that well. And when it is time to fully own the experience of Everness packaged in limited NowNess, do that well.

Great All contracts and expands.

Learn to breath with Its rhythms.

Learn to embrace your Everness

by embracing and

expanding the Now.
