THE BURGEONING

2015, BURGEONING, GROWTH

MAY 31, 2015

It seems that life moves along at a certain pace and then suddenly, one experiences a Burgeoning of a particular emotion, circumstance, or awareness—so much so that it could be said that what is taking place is an immersion.  

Whether this immersion be growth due to sorrow and grief, the hyper-awareness of others’ circumstance, or the awareness of something that one was hitherto unaware of—such as local poverty, The Burgeoning of new factors, commingling with the known and old wisdoms already inside you, makes for radical change.

What is it that you imagine for your Self?  What changes would have to occur between where you are now, who you are now, and what you are now, to take you to that place—from where you currently stand?  Yes.  You can invite The Burgeoning.  This is what retreat and immersion are all about.  When you set aside the parts of your world unrelated to the path ahead of you, temporarily, letting in only what takes you from where you are now to where you want to go, you streamline your journey.

Let us take, in our minds, that journey together this morning.

Be at peace in your body.  Put aside your pain.  Surrender your doubt.  Reveal your fears for the myths that they are.  Ignore the social programs that have been etched into your psyche, telling you that you cannot do ‘this’ or ‘that.’  See clearly that thing that you would achieve, that shining Spirit that you would be.

Who and what is this magical component of Great All?  Who is this fearless and beautiful piece/peace of Everything That Is?  It Is You, further actualized, closer to The Source:  You Still; You, held in the moment, existing there, just as you are existing here.  You exist in many places simultaneously.  You are Greater than you know, and more important.

Do you see your Self, there, Shining?  What false raiments wear you now that keep you from slipping through the needle’s eye?  Is it pride, envy, ego, greed, fear, isolation?  Can you surrender those small, meaningless, mortal conditions in order to wear that Shining body?  The wisdoms you need to guide your journey are there inside you; there are all around you.  Sometimes, swimming in clear, sweet water, you beg for a drink to quench your thirst.

The Burgeoning is that sweet cool drink.  You fill with what is needed to grow.  The Light ahead sharpens, its Song increasing.  You become more You.  Embrace the Burgeoning, especially when you are empty.  The space inside you was made for just this time.  That emptiness you feel is the vessel in acceptance, readying itself for The Gift.

Embrace The Burgeoning.  Embrace Life.  Know joy and its song.  Let eternity Sing through you, and loudly enough that others may hear it and indeed, see it shining through your eyes.

THE BREAK

2015, COMMUNICATION, SEPARATION

MAY 30, 2015

There is a moment when the energy of something to which you have been attached separates.  A Break is made between yourself and some person, 
place, event, circumstance, or thing. 

 

The Break is the moment at which you regain the energy you have invested in staying attached outside yourself to something that was meant to be outgrown, healed, or parted from.  In most cases, The Break is a positive and cathartic moment.  It is epiphany and release.  It forms the template for the first step of your next chapter of personal history. 

At the occurrence of The Break, we sometimes wonder why it is we were so slow in coming to the separation.  We wonder why we allowed fear to hold us back, uncertainty to bind our communications, and non-action to settle within us, keeping hold of our Love and Wisdom—even to the point where we hide it from our conscious selves.  The Break, once met, is a time for rejoicing, even when others are saddened by it. 

We speak of Breaks that have been formed like dams.   

When you separate from a loved one, whether by death or great distance, you do not make a Break.  The connection between you remains; communication continues; love is exchanged; nearness, when it is sought, is felt, no matter the gulf or perception of time and distance. 

Whether the Break is one of triumphing over fallacy, self-esteem issues, manipulations, or group hypnosis, healing a condition by Breaking free of its negative and harmful energy is a time for celebration.  

Under what yokes do you mournfully labor?  What false perceptions hold you in their thrall?  What Breaks need to be made between both your High and mortal selves to restore you to your greatest condition of wholeness? 

Look at your life.  Walk its pathways.  Where and how are you invested, and on which of those life-robbing avenues could you benefit from making The Break?

THE HOLY CHORUS

2015, THE SONG

MAY 28, 2015

You hear many internal voices as you go through your life.  One of them is the immortal, inimical voice of Your Self, Your High Spirit, guiding you.  

Whether providing this service with clarity, or muffled by a changing density of multitudinous factors, it is ever there, and aspiring to hear it, and follow its loving and Self-interested guidance, is life-paramount to growth, health, and happiness.

Do not assign to other factors—and persons—detrimental conditions that are nothing more than your inability, or unwillingness, to listen to your High Spirit, and the Holy Chorus of which your High Spirit is a part.

Factors in accord stream together in polarity-like directions, like water molecules making a river that flows toward the ocean.  Even without the impediment of rock and barrier, you would hear the water singing.  It is The Holy Chorus you hear—the accord—like intention turned together in a common goal.  Merry travelers go in company, sharing the journey.  And when the journey is one of pain and sorrow, singing together in accord also brings comfort and strength.

The Holy Chorus is the sound of Great All meeting itself in many faces, close, entailed with the same purpose, traveling together under a common bond, even if it is destined that they will again part.  The Song that is woven of Them together will be forever stored in each of Singers, and stored in the Great Hall as well.  In will echo is sunshine and shadow.  It becomes part of what is, and what has been, and what will be.  It etches itself into the Holy Pattern of Great All.

Inside You, this same phenomenon occurs.  For each time, you allow the streaming effect to occur within your Self, letting that High condition manifest in the mortal self, you hear the selfsame Song—The Holy Chorus singing inside you.  It is like silver on your skin.  The heart widens.  The pulse speeds.  The senses stir.  Your knowing leads you.

You know of what we speak.  These miracle moments, when things have come to you, when you feel absorbed, part of . . . in your place . . . and important to Great All . . . this is when you are in thrall to The Holy Chorus.  Its Singing begins to Sing You.  You feel your own Song respond.

Your Song is You.  Your voice is part of The Holy Chorus.  Invite this miracle more often into your life.  Whether through meditation, prayer, or pure, still awareness, the Songs of The Holy Chorus, vibrating inside you, will lift vibration, and with it goes pain, suffering, and misunderstanding.  The Holy Chorus is Love.  Love is The Great Healer.

GUIDES

2015, CLEAR SEEING, GUIDES, HIGH SELF

MAY 22, 2015

Who is your Guide on this journey:  Doubt or Inspiration?  One presses down, while the other offers a hand up.  Were each of these Guides actually a hand, you would find written in the palm, all the tell-tale signs of what is needed to be known.  You would see the roadmap—clearly outlining where you have been, and where you are going.  You would see where you are currently standing and understand how you got there, and where the current trajectory is taking you.

You are your own Guide.  Others may offer you Guidance.  Be clear on this.  

Be clear on clarity.  We work through, and walk through, various phases in our lives.  Certain concepts are baby concepts compared to others.  We earn our levels of understanding through acceptance, belief, thought-construct, and behavior.  We judge ourselves.  And when we are ready to move from one vibratory level to the next, it is our own abilities and understandings that refine the gateways, enabling them to accept Higher communications and therefore, Higher existence.

You are your own Guide.  So, how does one apply for Guidance?  How does one seek for benevolent study and assist oneself in Self-Guidance?  Introspection, commerce, and constructive conversation with Spirits evolved beyond the current aspects of the Self.  And how is this done?  Listening.

When you apply for Guidance, seek first and always through the channel of Your High Self, who being Self, always has the High Self’s best interest in mind.  Re-visit our lessons of False Prophets and Authority.  You are your own best Guide.  For all others, use High discretion, applying clarity and wisdom to that which is received.

It can be difficult to tirelessly perform as a channel—but do not doubt that your High Self is always connected to Great All, and available for your service at all times.  Open yourself to wisdom, love, and inclusion, and you open yourself to the greatest Guides of all.

THE FACTORS OF FORTITUDE

2015, COURAGE, FORTITUDE, TENACITY

MAY 20, 2015

How do you continue engaging your Life circumstance when it is painful and frightening, when you are tested at your core for what you believe, and of what you are capable?  Even the hero must know his limits of courage and patience.  At the highest tensile strengths, the best metals will bend and snap.  How far will Fortitude take you?  When is a Miracle required?

First:  what is Fortitude—in its essence?  Say that you were born with a handicap.  Perhaps that handicap causes you physical pain.  At some point, that physical pain will also cause you emotional pain, as you will likely exclude yourself from some life activities in which you wish to be included.  A great Fortitude of patience and strength is needed.

For a soldier, great Fortitude of courage and compassion are needed—and the qualities are different, depending on the situation.  Does the soldier fight to defend?  Is there a belief in this cause, or is there a sickening?  How is the soldier affected by what is seen and experienced?  How is the soldier affected by his or her actions?

What about responsibility?  Have you raised your siblings, where your parents could not, only to raise your own children, then grandchildren, then become responsible for your irresponsible parents?  How much Fortitude, and what kinds, are required for those tasks?

Fortitude is the ability to carry on despite great burden, loss of hope, fear, and pain.  Why is it some are blessed with this quality and some are not?  Why are some blessed with great Fortitude, and how do they come to this state?  Is it Nature or Nurture?  On this scale of having none, and having a great amount of Fortitude, where do you sit—in a factored sense?  That is, if you averaged your abilities to apply Fortitude, in general in your life, on a 1-10 scale, at what number to do believe yourself to currently rate?

Have you focus?  Tenacity?  Do you set clear goals and stick with the plan?  Do you ask for help when it is needed?  Do you admit to mistakes when you become aware of the mistakes, and adjust your plans accordingly?  Do you allow yourself to learn from others, barring all beliefs as to the source of knowledge, such as the wisdom of deep listening, clear seeing, or learning from someone whom you believe is uneducated, or somehow “below you” in social rank or standing?

Even children, sometimes especially children, can offer wisdom.  With their less complicated seeing and hearing, their opinions are quite often unbungled by political and social maneuvering.  Listen to your world.  And listen to your Self.  Is the world against you?  Or when you are required to apply Fortitude, is it that You are against the circumstances?  Be clear on this.

Sometimes, we apply Fortitude to a condition that we, ourselves, have manifested.  By blind sight, greed, deafness, attachments, or false accusations, we sometimes find ourselves in a place of fighting invisible demons—called up by programs we have instigated.  We are fighting our own army of hostiles!  When you are required to call upon Fortitude, first ask yourself if Fortitude is required—or if there is some adjustment that can be made in the construct of things that will smooth the way.

The Factors of Fortitude are many.  What Is.  What You Believe.  What Can Be.  Who you are and who you are surrounded by are also big Factors in what strengths you must apply in your Life.  We live as part of a divine tapestry.

Think of the ways and situations in which you currently apply Fortitude.  Is Fortitude required?  How much of what you battle is real?  What is assumed, and what are shadow boxers?  Quite often, in untangling any problem-set methodically, we begin to see its core, and at its core we can come to understand it in new ways—and therefore begin to relate to it in new ways.

Fortitude, in general, is a fine quality, but liken to certain kinds of tenacity, we can become mired in its illusions.  You would no more want to be mired in your physical handicaps—in a tenacity of beliefs about those handicaps—than you would want to be decorated for martyrdom of Fortitude in withstanding a handicap that could be improved—would you?

Forward motion is crucial to your Spirit’s growth.  When Fortitude serves this, it is good.  

When you apply Tenacity, using it as Fortitude, to stay weak and static, forward motion stops.  Grow your Spirit.  Check in with your Life conditions and how you Factor Fortitude.  Even in suffering, it is the Divine plan to keep moving forward, to become Higher, Lighter, and Brighter.

PRAYER

2015, PRAYER

MAY 19, 2015

PRAYER
From Reverend Cathrina D. Flynn:  This is a prayer I've used for many years.  It has become one of my favorites.

I walk through a changing world, yet I am The Light and The Way, which change not. With My Body and Soul, I protect the Faith and the Faithful. With my last breath, I protect the Truth and the transmission of Truth, be it in Light or be it in Darkness.  With Eternity, I am One. So give I myself to this cause, with all that I Am, and with All that I have to give.


Encounter and absorb this however you like.  Because it was included in my journals in such a peculiar way, I don’t remember if the source was found or channeled.  If from the Tribe, being familiar with their ways, I know that they mean this is the Highest manner, with no attachment to certain beliefs, and certainly with no attachment to the ideas and dogmas of religious structures. 

This is for you, the human being, alive on earth today, and struggling to do your best to exalt the divine nature of Spirit.

JUXTAPOSITIONS

2015, BELIEF, COMPARISONS

MAY 18, 2015

When comparing two or more circumstances, reality sets, or objects, side-by-side, what is learned is entirely dependent on the Juxtaposition of your beliefs, and how your life energy is divided and distributed across the different categories that affect your interpretive skills.  Should this job or that job better suit you?  The jobs considered are now Juxtaposed in your mind.

In considering these jobs, your beliefs, fears, biases, experiences, goals, drives, needs, desires, capabilities, skill sets, perceived obligations, self-esteem, self-faith, and self-denials are also in Juxtaposition.  This stew of considerations makes for an intricate and sometimes disturbing puzzle—when we are unclear or our own Self-beliefs, Self-worth, and Self-delusions.  How can we become clear enough to study Juxtaposed comparatives to obtain confident and faithful outcomes?

Extrapolation.  Stripping away—first—what is Not True, however difficult this may first seem, is a helpful exercise in reaching the infrastructure of what remains:  what we expect to be most True.  How do we begin?

The gross structures require little help.  Let us say you have eliminated all job opportunities but for two.  The two remaining are equidistant from your home, offer similar pay, and seemingly similar challenge and authority.  How now do you determine the remaining factors in these Juxtaposed opportunities?

Let us say that one job requires travel and one does not.  In your fear cache, you have stored horrible memories of a near-fatal car accident—and job A requires you to travel in a large city, on busy highways with a low safety record.  Will you ignore this job’s greater freedom and higher creative opportunities to feed an old fear?  Will you heed the motto of once-lucky, twice-doomed, and avoid the risk of increased highway-driving exposure, or will you reflect on future authenticity, and possibilities, creating an infrastructure for joy and success?

Job B seems to be a job of lower demands.  More in-house and with less frills, it might offer less glamour on the surface; it might also require less of your personal hours spent in work-related matters.  Listing all of the components you can confidently gather about job A and job B, you have made a 2-column list by which to Juxtapose your ideas for new employment.  You have a category for all things positive and a category for all things negative.

Now:  apply your Self-knowledge to these negative and positive ideas.  Why did you thusly categorize each of these ideas?  By what personality traits, beliefs, and experiences were you driven to find Truth in these outcomes?  Can you track these ideas back to their sources?  For instance:  do you have residual fear for driving on crowded highways due to a past experience, or is Spirit whispering to you in its small still voice, “Be Care-Full”?

Will job A actually take less of your personal time, or is it your own habits, stemming from low self-worth, a competitive nature, disorganization, time mismanagement, or some other condition(s), that will actually rob you—whether you take job A or job B?  Is job B more creative, in actuality, or is it that you are more easily seeing how you could creatively entail yourself at that job?  Could it be that job A has creative opportunities just as significant, but your perceived notions of working “under the yoke” in a small office affects your perceived abilities to perform independently?

Do you see how your beliefs, in your Self and in the world, affects every decision that you make?  Pros and cons are only the beginning of Juxtaposing any comparative factors.  And the formulae for the decision-making stew, in coming to the most beneficial conclusions for each unique individual, are as unique as the individual making the decision.

Inside you there are Legions. Do not try to rule your Self and your Life by autocracy. Know Thy Self. Know your Self in Its largeness, and know your self in its smallness. Be the leader of your Legions. When making Juxtapositions, come to the table. Debate.  Speak.  Become Wise.
