AVOIDANCE

     ~ facing dreaded changes

Think of this word in 3 pieces:  A --  Void  --  (D)ance.

This is a condition of putting oneself inside a void,

a state of somnolence or stasis. It can be a sort of cryo-freeze

for the Soul, the Spirit, the Mind, or the Body.

This can be used for purposes that support the protection of Self

and also for purposes that support the relegation of Self.

It is a human condition to postpone, delay, and avoid where actions or changes incite feelings of great dread or overwhelm. One thinks of tasks in relationship to Avoidance, but the deeper condition is to Avoid the Self and Its insistent messages, which often require not only time and energy but unconditional surrender.

What are you Avoiding right now? Without excuses or justification, pinpoint the emotions attached to the person, place, thing or action you Avoid. Do you dread conflict? Do you fear uncomfortable change? Do you doubt your ability to appropriately make a High decision and effectively proceed?

Whatever your Avoidance, your heart and mind will be lifted if you face these matters straight on. Start with your smallest Avoidance and be fully present with your conscious mind. You will find that reclaiming missing pieces of Self rewards you with satisfaction and accomplishment—and the motivation to do more, similar work.

Use Avoidance to delay what you are truly unqualified to address, but do not use this as a crutch or a hideaway. Let in the Light and live your life as fully present as possible. When you do, opportunities flood in and you will find that you’ve traded Avoidance for Empowerment.

MODERNITY, 2020 JULY 23

MODERNITY

     ~ comparing your present to times past and forward

Times and trends change, and even truths periodically change, but cycles are a constant—not in the length of the upper or lower waves, but that they are perpetual and unavoidable. We may believe that we are living in a highly illuminated age, comparing our selves to times past, but are we? What cues make us believe that we are currently more illuminated than those who preceded us?

Look at the world and your life in it. 

• Are you modern? 
• Are you on-pace with your contemporaries? 
• How so? 
• Do you believe that you are more, or less, illuminated and informed than your family members of the same generation / a generation past / ten generations past?

How fares your connection to the Eternal part of Self and the Whole? Have you reasoned out what your Life implies? Do you believe you are here for your own singular experience, or are you here to be part of the Tapestry, part of causing advancement (which is entirely subjective day-to-day), awareness, and the type of self-knowing that is absorbable by others?

Yes. You are responsible for your Life. And for your family, and community, and your world. You. Personally. Singularly. While waves are created by combining your energy with the group, it is still You who must make the decisions for where your energy goes.

So . . . pause in your Modernity and look suspectly at your self and your world. When you take apart the Modern picture and study the Zeitgeist, do you feel the same? 

Do you feel you are more or less illumined than when you began the seeking?

LOYALTY, 2020 JULY 22

LOYALTY

     ~ exploring Loyalty's boundaries

When you are Loyal, to whom are you Loyal? 

Are you Loyal to a person, place or a thing? 

Why are you Loyal? Is your Loyalty unconditional?

You are an individual, with a family, and part of a community, that is part of a larger community. “To your own self be true,” applies only within the context of these structures to which you are beholden.

How many of your Loyalties are affected by bias: 

• your gender/ 
• your socio-economic position / 
• your education / 
• your lifestyle / 
• your core beliefs / 
• your governance? 

Each of them is affected. You will feel more Loyal to those people, places and things from which you arise; this is part of your survival instinct.

However: revolutions rise, be that of the individual in choosing between one path and another, between self and family in choosing which beliefs to uphold, between family and self in regard to the immediate culture and the international beliefs. We are made to challenge and change and grow.

Look at your Loyalties today. Survey for how many follow guidelines that are true, and helpful for the whole. You will find that you are Loyal in ways, and to ideas, that surprise you. Be clear and truthful with your self. 

Rather than challenging the random status-quo, challenge your self. Choose your Loyalties wisely and for eternal and high ideals.

CHICKENING, 2020 JULY 21

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

     ~ 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

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.
