QUIET SPIRIT

     ~returning to the unblemished templete

A Quiet Spirit is a Spirit at peace. Spirit is the anima; Soul is the IS. Practice Quiet Spirit. Practice letting the world move THROUGH YOU the way Light moves through a landscape.

Using meditation, prayer, and ritual, come to this daily, and see how your troubles and doubts grow smaller, softer and more quiet.

You are a Song, a sweet thread of speaking to Great All of your Love for Their Creation. In between singing, you assume a restful attentiveness, awaiting your cue to contribute your part to the great Cosmic Symphony. 

This is the great gift: knowing the Song and letting it Sing You (acknowledge and exalt you); and knowing the restful, attentive peace between the notes that allows you to be a unique contributor to the Cosmic Symphony.  

Listen there. Listen. 

It swells around you, supporting you as you float among its notes. There is no effort, only love and joy. The Center returns you to your unblemished template; it helps you to remember your Self.

FOR 3-20 MINUTES EVERY DAY

Stand alone in a place you enjoy, inside or outside. Feel your feet on the ground.  Be relaxed.  Notice the direction that you are facing.  Try facing different directions.  Choose the direction that feels best.  Breathe deeply.  Close your eyes and continue breathing.  Breathe in and out through your belly button.  Imagine the ball of Light, your Center, behind your belly button.  Imagine your Center Light connecting with the Light that is all around you.  Breathe deeply in and out, letting the Light continue to connect, filling you and growing.  Listen to your breath; feel the Light as a tingling warmth on your skin.  When you are ready, imagine your Center as that ball of Light inside again, tucked in.

Smile.

Know Peace.

(an aside: do the Ritual Peace Meditation for times as long as you enjoy doing it)

BOKEH II

2020, ASSESSING, FOCUS, MAGNITUDE, REMEDY

BOKEH II, 2020 AUGUST 02

BOKEH II

     ~ focusing

A soft focus of all objects outside the point of interest lends more power to the central idea. The Bokeh, from the Japanese word meaning blur, is a fine example of how our minds organize. All objects in our field of vision cannot simultaneously be in sharp focus or central. The Bokeh effect allows the main point to shine.

Softening the field also softens the emotions, reducing worry and stress. If you can allow your self to focus on one thing, softening the rest, you will find that when you move your attention to the next idea, you feel more rested and capable. As you cannot make everything central or prominent, it is actually the only way to operate—yet, we sometimes strive to keep everything in focus and comparatively similar.

There is much that requires our attention. We must mind our responsibilities. We must consider how to shelter and feed ourselves and how to do the same for those others under our care. As this takes many aspects: housing, work, transportation, meals, health, education, etc., it is far too easy to fall in the trap of weighing everything as equal.

Try using this moment to do a self-check. How is your body feeling? Do not think of what is next, what is undone, what other things are important. Think only of your body, in this moment. Do you have an ache or upset? Can it be remedied? How will you remedy this?

Do not think beyond this assessment and remedy. Stay with this feeling until you have a plan. Once you have a plan, allow your self to rest. Do you feel lighter? Give your self a wide gap before moving on. Three minutes spent now, in focus, with soft edges for the other morass of worries, will buy you quite a lot of solace.

Practice using the idea of Bokeh to soften competing ideas around the central focus. We are not made to multi-task . . . so resist trying. Read through these words once more, and during that time, let your eyes go out of focus. Soften. Breathe deeply. 

Check in with your body. Remember that feeling and return to it as often as you can.

Blessed Be This Day

APOGEES

2020, DISTANCE, THE PRESENT

APOGEES, 2020 AUGUST 01

APOGEES

The point from which you are most distanced from some thing, as the moon is most distanced from the Earth in its natural orbit each cycle—that is an Apogee. Both points are relative; both are cyclical. 

This can be perceived as a matter of perception: such as the moon appearing smaller in the sky when its distance from the Earth is greater . . . such as the Belief that your goal is greatly distanced from where you are, or wherever you are . . . also a matter of perception. 

Distance can be measured in both time and in space, but when we feel distanced from something, it is likely our emotions inciting us to feel dissatisfaction that our desire and our present are not currently commingled. We want what we want when we want it—and usually that is now—in our present. Apogees, greatest distances, as far as our desires are concerned, never suit us.

What about hurry and worry: how does it feel to place those emotions at an Apogee? How does it feel to place hatred, anger, fear, jealousy, and rage at an Apogee? Can we acknowledge these conditions, like the light of the moon, knowing that they are connected to us, part of us and our light, shining down on us and through us, and yet, at safe enough distances so that we can respond to their powerful forces rather than being controlled by them?

What memories and former connections active in your present, can be liberated to an Apogee while you complete your journey with them? With less distraction, the goals and desires that have long been lodged at their own Apogees become merely distant, and then far, closing until they are just over there, and then . . . here, with you.

The greatest question is: what is the Apogee between you/You and your Belief in your self/Self?  

Look to your horizon and your most distant dreams.  

Fold that distance. Fold it again and again 

until it fits perfectly into your Present.

THE LIVING BRIDGE - VII

2020, BRIDGES, INFLUENCE, LIGHT, LOVE

THE LIVING BRIDGE - VII, 2020 JULY 31

THE LIVING BRIDGE – Part 7

What can you, as a Living Bridge, contribute to this world? 

First consider your history. Do people ask for your opinion or advice? 

Do they turn to you in crisis? Might this be true because

you can help them leave one state and enter another?

Today, we speak to you who are working as Mediary, Intuitive and Direct Voice Communication helpers. We want you to survey how you find the world today. You feel this in your heart, beyond what you intellectually discern or hear in the media. What do you feel?

• Is the Heart of Darkness closer to the surface in a greater number of people? 
• Is Hopelessness an overruling emotion in a way it has never been? 
• Are the counter-balancing agents growing to meet the demand? 
• How can we help?

Spreading the contagion of Love is one way to help many.  A kindly placed reply, a reminder that the Light is still greater than the Darkness inside each of us, and contribution or outreach to those less capable or less resource-rich than you are all ways to lift others. 

• We each have a story. 
• We each have our pains. 
• Do not let your own doubts keep you from rising up in response to the pain and misery around it.

Use your pain and misery to connect with others, and do it in a capable and compassionate way. Do not sit in the ditch with them. Offer your hand. Do not judge. See what work is needed and do it. We are all in different boats, but we navigate the same sea.

Find it in your heart to reach into your gift as a Living Bridge and hold it for those who do not yet know how to cross from one state to another. 

Even a gift measured in moments is valuable when someone is treading water and exhausted. Hold your Light aloft and use Its abilities generously.

THE LIVING BRIDGE - PART VI

2020, ABILITY, COMMUNICATION, MESSAGING, PURPOSE, SERVICE

THE LIVING BRIDGE - VI, 2020 JULY 30

THE LIVING BRIDGE – Part 6

What can you, as a Living Bridge, contribute to this world? 

First consider your history. Do people ask for your opinion or advice? 

Do they turn to you in crisis? Might this be true because

 you can help them leave one state and enter another?

A Living Bridge who is a Direct Voice Medium will have spent many years developing their abilities. Even when born with the abilities, developing focus, deep listening, and hearing clearly terms and concepts that may be foreign are all essentials. While a DVM can act as a Mediary, and certainly is a functioning Intuitive, their goals are less focused on the individual and more focused on the population at large, or at least a smaller demographic.

There is much confusion about the skills and work of the typical Direct Voice Medium. Hollywood will show the DVM holding séances, acting in bizarre and scattered ways, and in short, being quite dysfunctional in day-to-day life. These ideas are extreme exaggerations, for the DVM person is typically well organized in their mind, and quite compartmentalized. They must navigate their mortal world while being in constant contact with other-dimensional intelligence.

While a DVM may be able to help you through transition, confirm a medical condition, or find an object pointed out by a recently-departed relative, their true strength is in offering messages that are not readily available in other ways. Whether or not they have developed the personal patience and wisdom to fabulously negotiate their world, they have developed the discipline to bring through what is quite often harrowing or extremely difficult for them personally.

The Direct Voice Medium will have grown beyond some of the concerns that are paramount with the Mediary and Intuitive worker, but they must take great care to keep ego in check, maintain a vibrationally clean space in which to work, and be able to strictly separate their earthly imagination from their cosmic downloads.

If you know a Direct Voice Medium, or believe that you are a DVM, there is little reliable training for you beyond what you can garner for your self in quiet/still times. Those wiser and of higher vibration (who have been vetted) who may wish to speak to others using your gifts, will of course, be available for your learning.

So . . . ask your self this: what is the feeling of this helper? What is the pattern of their speech? By what characteristics do you judge this helper to be true? What is the nature of the message they wish to deliver, and to whom do they want it delivered?

Direct Voice Mediums, speaking truly, offer others an insight into 

not only the condition of being human, but the condition that is eternal, 

growing, and contributing to the Whole. Anything less is an insult to the gift. 

If you are a Direct Voice Medium, it is time to step up. 

The world requires your voice.

THE LIVING BRIDGE - V

2020, ABILITY, BOUNDARIES, ENERGY

THE LIVING BRIDGE, INTUITIVE, 2020 JULY 29

 THE LIVING BRIDGE – Part 5

What can you, as a Living Bridge, contribute to this world? 

First consider your history. Do people ask for your opinion or advice? 

Do they turn to you in crisis? Might this be true because

 you can help them leave one state and enter another?

A Living Bridge who is an Intuitive employs what the Mediary does, and adds to it a deeper knowledge of action and reaction. While being able to see and understand a situation, they are consciously guided by their inner voice, their own guides and helpers, and the guides and helpers of the receiver, abilities that require surrender and practice.

This type of Living Bridge contributes more personal energy to helping, and draws on more energy from the boundless sources. They must be more cautious than the Mediary about protecting their individual energy stores, and resisting any negative influences that are attracted to their lighter vibration.

If you are an Intuitive, your inner voice is very strong. You will have very certain opinions about the world, about how you believe things should be done . . . and how they should not be done. Your dreams are vivid, and you are compelled to engage yourself for the benefit of the underdog. You cannot look away from something unwatchable, even as others do, even as your emotional and spiritual response is deeper and more hurtful.

Living Bridges are Sensitives: that is, literally, they are sensitive, to the world, to other living things, to their own sensibilities, and especially to others. They are sensing Great All through a very thin and malleable osmotic membrane. They worry one moment that the world will not survive, and have hope in the next that great things are here and expanding.

An Intuitive must watch for specific conditions and ploys. They must not discount the information available from non-traditional sources or those considered inanimate. And just as a Mediary is not to be employed as a random parental substitute or nurse, they must also take care to avoid becoming a crutch for someone. 

Often, those who receive the benefit of an Intuitive’s care and guidance look to them like a beacon and rather than solving their own issues and making intelligent, well-thought-through decisions, they desire that the Intuitive do it for them. This, the Intuitive must not allow.

Nourishment and serenity become even more important for the Intuitive, who often feels battered by the world. Why do hatred and greed exist? Why are we still living in the dark ages? Why can’t people live by the golden rule? For an Intuitive, even more than the Mediary or Direct Voice Communicator, life can be exhausting and perplexing. They need to manage their rest times and monitor and direct their dreams.

They need to speak plainly and learn to withdraw personal hurts from the big picture. And, they need to work towards becoming a Direct Voice Communicator, so that rather than intuiting the world, they can readily ask questions and receive answers, so that they can more readily feel and engage with the support around them. If you are serving in this middle category, as an Intuitive, listen well to what we next impart.

Dear Intuitive: We thank you for your service. We celebrate you in both Light and Dark. We sleep with you and wake with you. Reach out, not only for the benefit of those whom you serve, but for your self. Know that your future will fulfill and satisfy your current curiosities, and that just ahead, there is a time when all will be well.

THE LIVING BRIDGE - PART IV

2020, ABILITY, COMMUNICATION, COMPASSION, SERVICE

THE LIVING BRIDGE - MEDIARY, 2020 JULY 28

THE LIVING BRIDGE – Part 4

    ~ the Mediary

What can you, as a Living Bridge, contribute to this world?

First consider your history. Do people ask for your opinion or advice? 

Do they turn to you in crisis? Might this be true because you can

help them leave one state and enter another?

This type of Living Bridge, a Mediary, is the most common. They are generally compassionate and forthright, and even if they have not experienced your specific situation, they are still helpful in getting you through a transition—in seeing where you are and determining where you need to go. They will use key words to lighten an alleyway or frightening passage, helping you to heal, accept a responsibility, or become a new version of self.

If this describes you, sensitivity and compassion are part of your core. Your first impressions are strong and you are willing to listen with an open mind to those who seem to be in transition. Strangers will often seek you out, making eye contact and even begin conversations seemingly out of the blue. “Why me?” you might think.

Your imagination is strong, your ability to see the road ahead well-formed, and your willingness to help others, while not bottomless or endless, is developed and engaging. People find you in troubled times and consider you a good listener . . . but what are you listening to, and how do you respond?

This type of helper, The Mediary, is a type of Living Bridge that is more accessible than the others. The Mediary will follow instincts and intuition and do their best to say the right thing in the right way to the right person at the right time. Once you are aware of this skill, you will adapt more quickly and sometimes, increase your skills through practice, to become an Intuitive or even a Direct Voice Medium.

Changing what you do in service, however, is not necessary. You do the world very much good, and because you do not separate yourself by mood or mannerism, more people will be willing to engage with you. But . . . take care to nourish yourself and protect against attacks or the theft of your personal energy. You are meant to be a guide, not a parent or nurse.

When you are engaged with someone in transition, make sure that what you share with them is sourced from The Great All, the font which does not tire or deplete. If you find you are being drained by demands as a Mediary, you are wearing your heart too-wide open. You cannot solve another’s problem; you can only support them, give them light, and help them to feel less alone and confused.

Give others a way to get clear for themselves, a way to surrender what no longer serves them, a way back to core tenets that help the Whole. While you may not be thanked by the person whom you help (as quite often they are not specifically aware that you have), know that you are being thanked by many . . . and that there are many who support your outreach in service.
