ONE CONQUERS TWICE WHO CONQUERS SELF, 2020 JULY 07

 

VINCIT QUI SE VINCIT

“He One conquers twice, who conquers self.”

Life affords us many challenges, but none greater than the struggle for dominance of Self. Through time and training, we overcome irrational fears, biases, negative habits, justifications, and denial. We embrace ideas closer to Truth, (Veritas) and in so doing lift the Self and all those who interact with the enlightened soul.

Think you Life is a battle, or a dance? Can you practice your dance steps and become a better dancer? Of course. And with the same dedication, one can practice their humanity. With few exceptions, one does not need to practice their “spirituality.”

You are Spirit. You are remembering your Divinity, and seeking to seat It within your physical form: that is the practice . . . in making your Earth-Bound Self an appropriate vessel for your eternal Spirit.

What is currently your greatest hold-back? Spend time with this idea. We often believe that our greatest self-challenge is one matter, when it is entirely another. Use the mirror; use it well as you view people viewing You.

Deeper than skin, deeper than bone and blood, your conquering must vault the door- and hall- ways that lead to the inner sanctum. One conquers twice, who conquers self. Find the authority and set it right with the Great On-High.

You are Truth with Purpose. 

Lift your voice. 

Let your Spirit Shine.

Blessed Be This Day

CONSUMPTION, 2020 JULY 06

CONSUMPTION

     ~ consuming raw data for change and expansion

You are being drawn towards something: some idea, some belief, some doctrine, some way to see and interact in the world. The energy in you builds and shifts, accommodating the new data. Soon, you find that you have Consumed enough of this matrix to embody it, for it to become part of your halo and form.

This Consumption is a completing factor. For a while, it exists in a way that seems outside self, and little by little, as you invite the new matrix inside, you configure what came before. You react differently, you think and believe differently, you address your self differently.

A great artist has Consumed not only a vision, but a palpable sense of construction and creation; the artist sees the world in a more complex and alive way. The writer, the orator, the teacher, the leader, the child becoming new each moment . . . all allow themselves to be Consumed.

When you fear Consumption to the point of disallowing its union with self, you have agreed to stay small, traveling a narrow and straight path, missing opportunities for the sake of stasis. You will never have stasis. Life is change. It is an ever-expanding amalgam of textured ideas.

Today, let something small Consume you. Listen deeply to one Song. Communicate with the heart of a flower. Revisit your child-smile. 

When our Consumption is concerned with Love, Life deepens and becomes authentic.

BE AT PEACE

BE AT PEACE, 2020 JULY 05

BE AT PEACE

     ~ we live to shine

How am I shaped? To what do I owe my existence? How is my presence creating a ripple that ripples the next ripple, and the one after that? How is my Being Here Now affecting my world?

When you are at Peace, your ripple moves into the next ripple with the ability to effect further Peace. Your joy is contagious. Your satisfaction is infectious. You are a medicine and a balm.

Do not discount your ability to affect the World through any small measure of Love. Love your self, no matter your mind or condition. Love others in the same way. Be held apart only by behaviors that are destructive and ill-intended, for all other encounters will be magnified by the Love of those who hold you close, be they here on the mortal plane or in places other.

Just as energy never dies, We, great and singular, never die. We live to shine, to inform, to exchange . . . and to share. As a great organism organizes and conducts every movement in every ripple, so too does Great All, and you are part of that.

Be At Peace. Be At Peace with ill-intention and hate. Be At Peace with war and with might applied in hurtful ways.

• We do not say Be Apathetic. 
• We say to you: see things clearly. 
• Work to Be At Peace. 

Work to create a ripple of Peace, that touches the next ripple, and the ripple after that.

We say by Being At Peace, your construct becomes strong with Peace. It floods with Love. It gives you greater power to protect the unprotected. To speak for those made mute. It gives you greater power to make larger and larger ripples into the consciousness of the world.

Be At Peace, and let the great Interlocutor that is Heart lead your way. Brighten and widen your Peace. Consume the Non-Peace as you grow.

Be At Peace.

PRETENDERS

PRETENDERS, 2020 JULY 04

PRETENDERS

~checking integrity against desire

We all want to so strongly believe in something, making decisions to support a Belief is easy, straightforward, and unshakable. Do we reach this place because the idea in which we Believe is integrity-based and true?

To live, we must believe that we want and deserve to live. To succeed, we must believe that we can. And to follow, we must believe that we follow someone or something who deserves following, or that our duty insists we do.

But what is that feeling in your gut when you find your self following something that is superficial, unjust, based on deceit, or harmful? 

How long do we justify our beliefs and behaviors when we discover that we are following a Pretender?

Pretenders can be mesmerizing, charismatic, and to some degree, even helpful or uplifting. A successful Pretender can have us believing so strongly in their message that we give our selves over, ignoring integrity and instead, satisfying our desires for ease.

There is more than one Pretender in your life . . . right now. It is taking up space and consuming energy. It is keeping you distracted and weak-willed, even when you feel you are focused and on your game. 

How do you find these freeloaders and evict them? 

• You must spend time with your High Self. 
• You must listen to the voice that answers what is unasked. 
• You must review your integrity and your desires and match them against your worldly agendas. 

In short, you must look for lies and right them with truth.

Do not follow a Pretender, 

and keep your own Pretender 

firmly in check.

LANGUAGE

LANGUAGE, 2024 APRIL 11

LANGUAGE

~multi-dimensional communication

Language is more than word-thoughts. It comprises all of the physical senses, and then some. When you listen to the Language of a young child, you understand their words (or non-words) in a far different way from an adult's. Their emotion, beliefs, desires, and goals are wrapped up in their communications. Their awareness of their environment, immediate and far-flung, is in that communication.

And, what if you are listening to a tree or a rock or a butterfly? What skills allow you to understand their communication? This goes far beyond word-thoughts. You will be listening in feeling-speak, and replying in feeling-speak.

How many times have you lain in the grass and stared at the sky? How were you communicating? What was it that made you feel wonder, or smallness, or absolute joy at that very pinpoint in space, that you were alive and hyper-aware?

Think of all the ways your Language communicates to others. Your facial expression, your hand gestures, your body language and posture, your proximity or distance, your engaged-ness, or non-engaged-ness all contribute before you say any words, and continue during your speech.

Today, stop and listen. Read beneath the layers of the people, places and things that surround you. And when you speak, make sure your non-verbal Language supports your message.

TIMESHIP & MENTORING

2020, LEARNING, MENTORING, TIME, TIMING

TIMESHIP AND MENTORING, 2020 JULY 02

 TIMESHIP AND MENTORING

     ~ how time frames learning

The Timeship of any capsule in history is unique. Though themes and challenges may repeat, the contraction and expansion of key elements remains fairly predictable. When art and science rise, peace rises. When war and distress rise, art and science decline.

This is important when one is Mentoring, whether that be Mentoring the self, or Mentoring others. Current affairs, current powers, and current perceptions are all deeply embedded in the learning environment. One cannot successfully teach subjects that are too outside the center of the current Timeship.

The Timeship is a combination of zeitgeist, social mores, and political gaming. Who visibly holds monetary and political power? What does current education include, and (importantly) avoid . . . and whom does it include and avoid? What issues are of greatest concern to the current world’s populations?

The further removed from the Timeship, the more difficult is the Mentoring. If you are here, at your keyboard, or with your pen and paper, what is on your mind? It is not empty. What were you thinking before you came to the learning? What will you think after?

Mentoring is more than exposure, more than memory, more than consideration and even deep thinking. Mentoring is the supplication and concurrent surrender to ideas as yet known, to ideas that cannot be seen nor understood from within the current condition. Mentoring is a journey, a pilgrimage, and sometimes, a battle.

While your Highest Self can access untold and unlimited amounts of data and non-rational idea-forms, your human self is limited by your Timeship. How much you will achieve in this human life is subject to many factors, and the speed and acuity with which you accumulate and transform is unique, and harmonious to Deep Self.

A spacious Life with few responsibilities will offer more opportunity within solace and contemplation to absorb more, to mutate more, to desire (and acquire) more. Most of us will not live this hermetic type of life. We will work and care for others. We will place things on hold, even when they are important. We will focus on being human and in tiny bites, if at all, seek a deeper union with Great All.

How does your Mentoring proceed? How does your Timeship support it? How can making time for this deeper union create more satisfaction (and more time) in your life? 

Like the chicken and the egg, this is a curious urging, but you must begin . . . So, listen.

THE FLOW

2020, DIVISION, PERSPECTIVE, RECKONING, ROUTES, TRADITIONS, TRAJECTORY

THE FLOW, 2024 APRIL 09

THE FLOW

     ~ questioning traditional routes

What if you lived your day backwards? If you began with your last thought, an idea that is the culmination of the day’s events, or perhaps the denial or avoidance of the day’s events, how would that knowledge change the perspective you had upon waking?

Even an uneventful day changes us. Just as the water passing over the same rock is constantly creating new experiences, so too are we changing. The morning’s opinion may not agree with the evening’s opinion. Belief can be that fickle.

When we move with the expected trajectory, whether that be following tradition, attempting to better our character, or be more successful in the world, we will experience both head winds and tail winds. If we move backwards, will this still be true?

What is a day? What is linear time? What is happening in that block of existence: 24 hours, the rotation of the earth, circadian cycles, work and rest ? 

To understand Life, we believe that we must have these divisions . . . but often things are divided by whether they are “good” or “bad.” However: there have been many times that a strong headwind, temporarily holding you back, has yielded the highest and most pleasing outcome.

To live in harmony with the direction of the wind, going with the flow, can be this way, but it can also create an apathy that tempts us to believe smooth sailing is a sign that all is right in our world. Is it? Is lack-of-challenge, avoidance of conflict, and staying in the slip the very best and highest experience for us? In moderation, it is, but to become tempored we need more.

Imagine your last thought as you sleep tonight. Will it be a reckoning of the day? Regrets? Stress and Worry? Excitement for the day to come? Surprise and wonder that something beautiful crossed your path?

Try tomorrow to begin your day with a projected last thought. What is the Highest outcome you could wish for your day? Hold that as a reality and work towards its resonance. 

If you know the goal, you may now use the Wind energies, regardless of their direction, to help you navigate all the courses that must be traversed to reach that last thought. Make it a beautiful one.
