CHICKENING

     ~ self-informed motivation for actions

You have heard some version of the slang: Chickening-Out. It means to lose courage, to rescind one’s word, to fail a promise because fear is greater than sentiment. Each culture has some similar term. It becomes a badge of non-honor.

If we were motivated by such things, allowing the negative aspect of any given situation to spur our actions, what do we become but an extreme reactionary without a firm bit of ground to stand upon? We must rise and act because we are in touch with our core and decide to do the valiant and helpful thing.

When you feel your self weakening under peer pressure, how do you handle it? Do you push back, or do you check in with your center and speak to your own fears? Have there been times when verbal threats have caused you to act where otherwise you would not? Have you been pushed into risky and un-helpful behaviors due to the same?

Mostly, you know why you act. We cannot truly be fearless, but we can confront fear and move forward anyway. If you find your self Chickening, do a search, and when you act, either by forward motion or withdrawal, act with Truth and self-knowing.

GROUND CONTROL

     ~ staying balanced while feeding the Hungry Whole

To exist, a large reserve of mind and body is given to homeostasis and survival. This is your Ground Control, representing your core programs and reptilian mind. It is the force that urges you to stay in your body and thrive.

How do you know when Ground Control is not doing its job? How do you know when Ground Control has commandeered systems and is starving the other aspects of your life: your creativity, intuition and higher states?

Think of what is happening in the world right now. What are you hearing from your local, national, and international news outlets? Do you feel comforted or repulsed by it? Do you feel it supports your life or threatens it? 

How real are these concerns?

Physical life is a challenge, as is staying balanced. One must have physical necessities such as housing, food, water, clothing, and purpose. One must also have imagination, liberty of the creative spark, and access to higher ideas.

If the world seems weighty and filled with fear, look at your part in that. Where does the energy balance? Would it be more helpful to contribute creative and uplifting input for a troubled world? This does not mean you ignore what is happening, or that you will refuse to act where action is needed. It means that you give another helpful aspect to the hungry Whole.

Check in with Ground Control, but remember that the view from the stars is high and borderless compared to earth’s soil. Beauty is abundant. Find ways to share stories that evolve in places higher than the fray.

IN TIME

2020, CURRENCY, FATHER-LINE, MOTHER-LINE, THE PRESENT

IN TIME, 2020 JULY 19

IN TIME

     ~ the currency that creates The Present

Day by day, you are In Time, part of what makes Time work. It is the currency of your life that causes Time to exist. You are a cell among cells, all together forming Time, forming the present and your perception of reality. 

You have had experiences in which you feel “Out of Time,” a dreaming, unattached, floating feeling that comes in the presence of an overwhelming or surrealistic experience, or at a liminal threshold between life and death, wake and sleep, okay and not-okay.

In Time is a vantage point; it is the place from which you view the greatest distances, be that termed in separation of space or experience. 

From your place In Time, it will be rare to see what your belief tells you is far behind you, or what is far ahead, although those who are prophets or prophetic dreamers may see far into the past or future.

Can you feel the Mother-lines and Father-lines of your past . . . or your future? The Higher you go, the more you will see. When your level of understanding is low and close to the ground, you will see far less than when your level of understanding is high. High understanding, strong self-will, and self-compassion will grant you longer views.

When you are In Time, you are more than merely present. You are aware of your place in the Great All. You are aware that your every thought, movement, and action is affecting the fibres of life all around you—aware of how you are managing your addition to the tapestry.

When you tug on the Time-Line that you create with your existence, you are affecting the whole tapestry, and the closer to you the next Time-Line lay, the greater your influence. We cannot adequately express how important your contribution is. Do you help the Weaver or do you distract?

You are In Time and actively affecting the Tapestry whether or not you believe it. What gifts can you bring? How can you become more aware that you are not only Present, but perpetually busy Co-Creating?

Take this moment to assess your position. How far is your reach, and how can your contributions In Time forge stronger more beautiful lines?

THE SOUL/SOLE PATH

2020, ACCORD, FOCUS, PATHWAYS

THE SOUL/SOLE PATH, 2020 JULY 18

THE SOUL/SOLE PATH

     ~ focusing layers of self to reflect purpose and intention

No one will walk your exact pathway but You. No one is the same alchemy of form, chemistry, function, and spark. Though you will be surrounded by many, thwarted by some, and supported by Legions, your path is singular and unique . . . and it is part of you.

Have you been in the presence of someone you consider Holy or Magical? Witnesses describe a feeling of completeness, a deep attraction, a sense of calm. 

   As this person’s pathway is part of them, infused like a scent, a color, or a sound, it is present, perpetual . . . and tangible.

Your aura, or Soul shines through too. Part of mystic tradition, changing the veils around the entity changes how it interacts with its world. A “Holy” person walking through the woods might calm restless animals or soothe distraught trees and vines. They will likely change these veils when under threat, exchanging the white softness for a red repulsing energy.

We do this without thought most of the time. If you meditate, you know that you seek a calm baptism when you actively quiet your self in order to listen. When feeling a flight-or-fight response, you will notice that you are projecting: 

“Come close.” “Stay Away.” Our language is so much greater than our word-thoughts.

What colors are your veils today? Is this purposeful? You cannot use words alone to indicate what you want, or to fulfill your Soul/Sole Path, you must use every part of the self. You must function like a whole entity. Be an entity who reflects well on the Whole.

TIME BOMBS

2020, MEMORIES, TRAUMA

TIME BOMBS

Some memories are tucked away in dangerous files. 

They are explosive, rapturous. Opening them will undo us, 

and thereby, undo our agendas.

Typically, Time Bombs are memories of extreme trauma. We have lost someone or something that was precious to us. We have made a cataclysmic decision. We have acted in such a way we feel time will never forgive us.

When you open this file, you will be flooded, taken over, made paralyzed or comatose. What can you do? How do you access this file, and change your relationship to it, without coming undone? How can you dis-empower a Time Bomb and allow the memory to stay intact? First: what is the relationship of this file to your present? 

Is this file a Time Bomb because of something you have done (or not done), something that someone else has done (or not done), or something that seems circumstantial—non-purposeful but very hurtful?

If this Time Bomb is made from your actions, what have you done to correct the behaviors that led to the action or decision? Are your behaviors improved? Have you determined what caused you to behave in such a way or make such a decision?

 If the Time Bomb is built from something done to you, have you forgiven? Have you separated your self from destructive forces? Have you freed your present from a repeat performance?

And if something has occurred that seems without sense, remorse, or pity—such as the loss of a child—what could this really mean? You know that each of us is a distinct Soul with a distinct set of probabilities and goals. 

There is no reasoning how or why, but what does your suffering serve? You must look at this file from a greater, higher point of reference.

If you stay down in the minutiae of the file, searching each letter, you are lost to that world. Can you, a few words at a time, a few pictures at a time, change a file? Can you replace the anger and hatred with understanding? Can you replace regret with future hope? Can you replace pain with the love of the things that remain? Will you embrace the reality of reunion?

Time Bombs such as these keep us from moving forward and accomplishing our purpose. You must re-frame the files in order to heal. What is worse than a trauma, except for reliving that trauma over and over again? Love your self enough to see a trauma as just a part of the picture, not a line in the sand, a punishment, or a before-and-after fate.

We are here, and we want you whole and happy. Your life will never be free of trauma, so where you are having difficulty, ask for help. We are here, close as breath.

PERIGEES

2020, COMPARISONS, ILLUSION, PERCEPTION

PERIGEES, 2020 JULY 15

PERIGEES

     ~ how perceptions change your reality

What is illusion--and what is real, but comparative; and what is the difference?  

An Apogee, as related to the relative distance of the Moon from the Earth—as farthest point—and the Perigee, the relative distance of the Moon from the Earth as closest point, are two very good examples of this concept.

The size of the Moon in fact, has not changed, but if photographed from the same place on Earth, under the same circumstances with the same equipment, you can see that the moon of an Apogee is quite smaller than the moon of a Perigee.  The Perigee is much larger, and what is sometimes called a “Super Moon.”  This perception is a matter of distance and relationship.

• What other matters in life can be said to be directly entangled by the concepts of distance and relationship? 
• Are certain factors in your life, observed at certain points, larger appearing than at other times?  
• What other factors are in play when you notice this to be true in your life?

Are you inflating something in your field of vision that should be given only regular or even casual attention?  Are you focused too much on a minor player to whom you have given a starring role?  Have you made of a sow’s ear, a silk purse?

Cycles are cyclical for pertinent reasons. 

• Contraction and expansion move in natural attunement to breath. 
• Just as daylight must have night and up must have down, the elliptical nature of an orbit will bring bodies close together and then further apart. 
• Move with this cycle and feel its natural ease. 
• To stare too long into the sun causes blindness. 
• To see the moon only as large, especially falsely large, on the horizon, becomes a Perigee of unhappiness for the Spirit.  

Enjoy the cosmos in its many moods and wonders, 

in its Perigees and Apogees, 
in the lifts and falls
of its symphonies . . .

IN THE ABSTRACT

2020, BELIEF, PERCEPTION, THOUGHT

IN THE ABSTRACT, 2020 JULY 14

IN THE ABSTRACT

     ~ concrete ideas versus vague ideas

What is meant when we say that something exists In The Abstract? Do we refer to a belief that this thought-idea exists only in the thought-dimension, or do we mean that we have only a basic idea of what we are attempting to communicate?

We could mean both, or either. 

A writer, painter, or composer may sense something In The Abstract that must now be made manifest in the physical world. One could have a very large and very vague concept about something, and following the thread of the thought-idea, sharpen it from soft focus to detail.

   What is it you believe about your self that you feel is concrete? 

Do you identify with your gender, your non-gender, your culture, your work, your commitments, your family, your spirituality--as concrete ideas? 

Are they concrete because they seem evident, or are long-standing and/or expected?

   Now . . . what do you believe about your self In The Abstract? 

What is it about your self, and ideas about the self that you believe lives in the shadows or just outside your everyday perceptions? 

Is there more of you, Higher forms of you, attached but unmanifest in the physical realms, and would you prefer those particles to integrate with your present?

Conversely, might you believe that some of your concrete ideas are not so concrete? And do your shadows beg to be made manifest, or perhaps, beg to be kept far from your current realities? What lives for you In The Abstract?

Study your shadows today, and challenge your concrete ideas. Then, before you lie down to sleep, compare what you believed upon waking with what you now believe before sleep. Are you surprised?
