KENOS

KENOS: a void/ devoid of truth/ possessing nothing of value/

a faithless person who boasts of spirituality they do not possess/

one producing fruitless works/ consumed with vanity

 

The world is a clever place. It is a dream space. It is a tapestry and each living component is a weaver. As you have met, or been, a healer and helper, so will you experience The Kenos, a system, application, or person who is empty.

We have cautioned you to beware what is empty and false. Now we caution you to avoid BEING what is empty and false. Dissect your beliefs and actions. Validate the Truth or Falsity of them. Are you True? Are you filled with ungovernable Spirit that is freely seen and given?

 

We cannot make Love upon what is false, and can make empty war only briefly. Do an inventory of your Life. Sharpen your purpose and embolden your skills. Each, singular, indivisible and individual weaver is needed, especially now. You live in rapidly changing times, which requires rapid change in you.

 

We validate you and your path. 

Speak to us, and when we respond . . . Listen.

 THE REDOUBTABLE DIVIDE

Redoubtable: Formidable/ Awe-Arousing/ Of Unassailable Regard

In All Things there is Truth. Truth sits at the Center. Outside this, there are opinions. Broad and varied and colored by culture, history, belief, and fear, opinions are just that. When you adopt an Opinion as Truth, here starts the trouble.

How do you feel about world hunger? WHY is it? Whom does it affect? How can it be remedied? (Do you believe it needs to be remedied?) Is someone or something at fault? Your answer is one example of opinion.

When the world is divided and one side cannot see or hear the other, what is to be done? You cannot continue doing the same things. You cannot continue speaking the same words. You must step outside and above the bickering.

Pretend for a moment that you are alien to planet Earth. Look down at the one problem of world hunger. Without politics, religious and social beliefs, and your own fears, SEE what is happening. How do you reach conclusions when you are not of this world? How do you find the behavior of Earth’s inhabitants?

You will not be able to shift totally away from who and what you are, but can you learn to listen and see? When you are studying something foreign, of different forms and colors, expressed through different words and ideas, can you get to the central idea or truth of the matter? We hope so . . . because that is urgently needed.

If you cannot quickly change your judgments and anger, can you change your behavior? Can you speak with forethought and compassion rather than lashing out? Can you study behavior rather than judging the person? Put on the robes of wise counselor and play that role for a while.

Only Truth is Redoubtable. Opinion is not. Allow your self to rise about the morass where empty rhetoric, judgment, and blame live. Live in Love. Strive your self to be Redoubtable, if not in all things, at least in the things that are most urgent.

 WAR

If you have lived through the heat of War, your perspective on the world (and your neighbor) has shifted as compared to those who have lived their lives free of War. Ask War survivors how noble and righteous are the actions of War. Ask them to describe the horror of loss, death, displacement, hunger, and anguish.

Do not take lightly the energies of War. Armed conflict may be necessary to defend ones-self or defenseless others, but do not stray into thinking that War is noble. Do not think that violence is justified. 

Do not believe that violence upon violence will bring Peace.

Do you have War in your heart today? If so, how did you come to the idea? Have you been coerced? Are you “going with the flow” among your belief group? Do you feel backed into a corner, with War imagined as your only outlet?

When tensions escalate, divides widen, and rhetoric grows polarized and desperate, time demands that you approach with great caution and wisdom. Do not hold War in your heart. Do not support War in your community. Do not justify War, and certainly, do not Sing its Songs.

If War is escalating, step back. Look at the big picture. Collect unto your center, the brightest Light that you can. Radiate to others, in sight and away, the pureness of Love. Be to the world a Light, as a Lighthouse is to the ships.

If War is calling, decide now to defend Peace. Set the example of Peace. Speak with Wisdom. And if War comes to your community, choose to be a healer and Maige. You, who read this, are able, and capable in this. Be unafraid in the Light as you lead the way.

ARMISTICE

When opposing sides agree to a truce or a temporary cessation of violence, 
an Armistice is called. What more than the obvious (pausing violence) might be gained?

In negotiating peace, studies are made. Who are you? Who are they? How might a declared peace work, and will it last? Each force draws back and takes time to assess what is present in character, claim, and certitude. How much compromise will be made? What is protected and what is yielded?

While each of us fights these battles, and pauses, within our selves, we also fight them within our communities and the world at large. You have heard the terms: “end game,” “long game,” “ceded a battle to win a war,” “uneasy peace,” and “crushing defeat.”

Measure what it is you are currently warring against. What beliefs, systems, cultures, persons, or behaviors feel opposed to your own? Are differences arbitrary (to you and your beliefs), or are these differences opposed at the core of humanity?

Save your energy where you may for the processes of Love and Creation. In the places where you war, call an Armistice (if you can). Take time to study the battlefield and weigh the possible outcomes of re-engagement. Enjoy Peace where you can make it, and War only when it is a last defense and aligned with Great All’s core.

Where are you today? How do your wars rage?

THE TELLICO

Can you know a thing by the word associated with it? The word Tellico is an example of such that is given to what is more often misunderstood. Is the Tellico an open plain, two people in dialogue, the headwaters of a great river, or a male leader? How did we arrive at this spelling of what may have begun as a Cherokee word? What idea(s) does this word hold at its heart?

 It holds what YOU believe it does. 

Words are shapes that can be spoken, and possibly, written. They evolve from many cultures and beliefs. Sometimes, they represent the word-thought that made them, and sometimes they are in disagreement. They can be encapsulations of whole systems.

How familiar are you with your favorite spoken and written words? Do you know within reason from which ideas they arose? Is their meaning now the same as it was upon launch? 

Notwithstanding contemporary slang, think of a word that brings you joy. Is the word itself, its sound or appearance, pleasurable? Is it pleasurable because it represents something that is joy-bringing to you? 

Now think of a word that is offensive to you. Why? Are there words that are off-limits? Are there words in your dialogue you are unable to define? Do you believe in the power of words? Why? How about your name? Is your own name(s) pleasing? Is it displeasing? Why?

 Sometimes we are moved by the wordless,

specifically because it is presented as such.

A piece of visual art, a dance, a film, a study of landscape,

sunrise, sunset . . . can be felt at the core without words being necessary.

In fact, sometimes words sully the experience.

That “said,” be aware of your language. Though you cannot be always know its history and its usage across cultural and political divides, you can thoroughly consider your words when speaking to others. You say: “You are beautiful,” which is not as powerful as saying “Your radiance causes my heart to open.”

 

To say: “You are ugly,” is not as powerful as saying “Your distress and anger cause my heart to contract.” What do you mean to say? How do you choose your words? Do you speak plainly and with Truth? What do you hope to communicate?

 . . . And, how do you communicate without words?

How do you increase the Joy Of The World by doing

with Grace and Compassion 

and non-judgmental Love? 

 

For one day, try being the melody, the sculpture, the paint on the canvas.

 Try being the sunrise, the feel of a baby’s skin,

 the sound of cool water dancing over rock.

What do your non-words teach you? 

How does it change your ability to communicate? Whether you believe the Tellico is a plain, a town, a waterway, or a Cherokee Chief, a word is what you experience. Experience your self in the broadest sense, and communicate as often as you can in the wordless, inclusive, and harmonizing pathways of Inner Wisdom. Speak with your heart.

 In the Great Silence, We hear you.

 FEAR VERSUS DREAD

Most of what you call Fear is merely learned reaction to distant things, a high level of Dread. Real Fear is an immediate reaction intended to increase your chances for survival, flooding you with the fight or flight response. Dread is a reaction of great resistance in response to an action you would not happily make. To be clear on this difference will aid you in empowering yourself, by reducing what you believe to be Fears.

Let us say that you believe you Fear high places. Are you in a high place right now? If not, then you actually have a Dread of high places. If merely thinking about high places causes a visceral reaction that is similar to or the same as, being in a high place, you are experiencing a very advanced state of Dread, that is emotionally, intellectually, and chemically analogous of the condition of Fear: these are not the conditions of which we speak. They are deeper and far more serious than what this treatise discusses today.

We have discussed many times, the power of word-thoughts and belief-thoughts. When you make a statement such as this one: “I fear I will die in my sleep and my children will have no one to care for them,” you are expressing a high level of Dread. If you are alive to express that Dread, you have not died, in your sleep or otherwise. How is it this Dread has taken your attention hostage? What thought-form first possessed you to pause with this idea and return to it again and again?

Unraveling these conditions may take many lifetimes, and to give advice here regarding how to treat such a thing in the mind-body is not our goal. We want only for you to be aware of the difference between true, spontaneous, life-affirming Fear and that of pattern-based, life-draining Dread. We want you to inventory your behaviors for Dread patterns and to become aware of them. What are these patterns?

They may sound similar to these very common patterns: I fear early death/ I fear disease/ I fear the loss of loved ones/ I fear abandonment/ I fear failure/ I fear isolation/ I fear challenge X/ I fear pain/ I fear my own abilities

All of these things listed are measures of Dread, not Fear. You may call them Fear, as you have mostly likely been taught to do. Meeting your challenges and challengers, begins with knowing them. You might be surprised by how your mind-body begins to heal itself when you reduce the burden of what you believe is its storehouse of Fears by demoting them to Dread.

It is the unimaginable battles with monsters that we truly Fear. Dread can help us to throw back our shoulders and lift our chins, seeing the other side of a fray with reward won. Demote false Fears and restore to yourself those energies held hostage by lies.

 From The Cauldron

Chaos is everywhere, even between the things where it seems nothing exists.
 Any spark will Light the tender that is Creation. 
Every thought, every imagination, every deed 
Lights up the Great Web that is Existence.

When you actualize a Belief or Idea, you pull From The Cauldron the native implements and substances that are needed to Re-Create this thing you have spawned. While humans do not make New Life, in Its essence, they do influence the Created Life, whether that Life be seemingly static or active.

From The Cauldron you can pull history. You can Re-Make your self. You can Shift from the zero-point, all things “before” and “after.” There is no time greater to express this than this first day of a new solar year. Who do you wish to be? What in your past colors this?

Reach back. You will not change the actions of others, but you can go into your History and shift your perception of an event and idea, and bring forward a more enlightened version of your self. When you Shift in the Now, you Shift in the Forever.

Try this today. Avoid empty promises, and instead, Re-Create your self/Self by changing your essence from the ground upon which you stand. Be New and Actualized for Higher Potential. Be a Light that shines into every corner and nook. Be The Cauldron.
