Beyond The Secret

By Suzanna Kennedy

suzannaphoto.gifAfter you have a chance to play with the Law of Attraction for awhile, you may find inconsistency in the results. Sometimes it will seem to work like magic. Other times it seems to not work at all or gives you some skewed version of your conscious manifestation. There are two main reasons for this:

* Early Programming
* Multi-Dimensional Reality

Early Programming

You may feel challenged because your mind seems to be on automatic pilot, continuing to offer up thoughts based in fear/separation/lack consciousness. What’s missing in the Law of Attraction teachings is the step that comes BEFORE thought – your programming. Your thoughts spring forth from your mind’s computer-like programming, which was created in your first seven years of life.

The most effective way to generate positive thoughts, feelings and actions that are consistent with what you consciously choose to create is to upgrade your programming. You can upgrade from lack/limitation/separation consciousness to love/joy/prosperity consciousness.

Think of your ego as a self-identity program running within your mind/body bio-computer. This self-identity program constructed your identity in the first seven years of your life by looking for patterns in your experience. When it recognized a pattern, it assigned a meaning to the pattern. The meaning and the pattern became a “rule” in computer terms – you call it a belief. This rule was added to your programming. At around seven years of age, your self-identify program stopped adding new rules and began gathering data to provide evidence to support the rules it created.

At that point, your ego’s job became protecting your mind-created identity. That’s why is so hard to improve your self-image. Your programming was created by you, as a child, with your immature understanding, inadequate and wounded perspective, within the limited environment of your family, school, church and neighborhood.

When you upgrade your programming, your mind will generate positive thoughts, which produces positive feelings and positive actions. You will make better choices. You will suddenly see opportunities your mind filtered out before. You will open to the prosperity your ego was holding at bay in order to be loyal to your mind-created identity.
Multi-Dimensional Reality

Mother Earth has already raised Her frequency enough to host multi-dimensional Paradise Realities. Humans have the opportunity to ascend with her and enjoy higher dimensional versions of Earth where the lower frequencies of fear, poverty, illness, struggle and pain cannot exist.

The Secret teaches you to imagine what you want to create, feel it as if it already exits and then allow it to unfold. But what happens if you are limited by your imagination? Where does your imagination come from? It’s foundation is built upon your past experience in a 3-dimensional reality based in fear, limitation and separation consciousness. Can you even imagine the infinite possibilities that exist in higher multi-dimensional reality? Not really, we don’t have a frame of reference for it.

Two years ago, knowing that we were moving toward this evolution in our basic reality structure, I was inspired to develop and teach a new way of manifesting called Manifesting from the Heart.

Instead of using your mind to imagine what you want to create, use your feelings. Determine how you want to feel when your manifestation takes form and avoid formulating any thoughts about what it may look like. Then, in meditation, create a heart-based holographic blueprint of the manifestation. Send the blueprint out into the void, which will attract a holographic image of a matching potential reality and bring it to your consciousness for closer examination. Look at it from many different perspectives and decide if you like it. If you do, then I anchor it into the Earth to experience in your physical reality. This is how multi-dimensional beings in multi-dimensional Earth will co-create their own version of Paradise on Earth.

If Love Is The New Currency

By Suzanna Kennedy

suzannaphoto.gifIt is a valid question to ask, given that it is becoming increasingly clear that what we call "money" in the United States is a big fat illusion. The U.S. Constitution defines money as currency backed by precious metals. Since 1933, when the country went off the Gold Standard, we have had "fiat currency" (false money) in the form of Federal Reserve Notes.

The Federal Reserve Notes are U.S. debt notes to the Crowne. Blah Blah Blah.
(see: http://www.gold-eagle.com)

The point is; the value of our money is arbitrary and illusionary because it is not real. But in this unreal world of holographic illusion, what is real? What really has value? The only thing that appears to be real in this world of illusionary creations is LOVE.

Love is all there is. It is the only energy that we can create with. So, in my humble opinion, it is the only thing of real value.

So I ask you again. If love became the new currency, how rich would you be?
Love is not a verb. It is not an action taken or something you can do to another person.

It is Source Energy (some call it God’s love) that flows to you through your heart and through your eyes. You can either open to allow it to flow through you or you can constrict its flow. Yes, love can express itself as an action, yet it is not the expression, but the energy behind the expression.

How open are you to Source’s energy flowing through you? In what ways do you restrict its flow?

Love does not flow through the mind. The mind is a filter that sifts through our connection to Source and others, trying to make it logical. The mind institutes a system of weights and measures and checks and balances, constricting or stopping the flow if it doesn’t see an equal return.

In this world, we have somehow gotten upside down between our mind and our heart. The mind should be the servant to the heart. But somehow the mind has overthrown the natural government and is holding the heart hostage.

If love became the new currency, how rich would you be?

The new business gurus would be teaching you how to open your heart. You would be looking for more ways to express your love to more people. Because as you express your love, the more love flows through you. If you don’t express it, it will get stuck. The more open your heart is to express and allow love to flow, the richer you become.

How can you open more? By doing what brings you joy! Joy opens the heart, making it a bigger conduit for love (currency) to flow through. So do what brings you joy. You would express as much love as you can to others, because that increases your bank account. Of course, the second you do it for personal gain, slam, the heart closes again.

This only works if you are doing it for the joy of expressing love.

How would you and your life change, if love were the new currency? Would you be rich?

Editor’s note for Suzanna:-

Suzanna and I first met over the Internet through our friends Marimar and Saleena in Hawaii when we were working on bringing in a new kind of energy. Since then I have sampled one of her courses ‘Upgrading your Prosperity Blueprint’ which I’ll report back on in our next issue. In the meantime why not visit her web site, for those with a technical leaning her approach is very understandable, a re-program for the soul she calls the Divine Human Upgrade Program. If it’s anything like the ‘Upgrading your Prosperity Blueprint’ course it will be wonderful.

 

Being Is Enough
By Suzanna Kennedy

Your gift is your presence
Honor your gift

FLOWER ESSENCES: Elixir of Alchemy

By Nancy Boyd

floweressense.jpgNancy was one of our first advertisers who has been supporting us since the first issue, and so it was wonderful to receive a contribution from her, we hope you enjoy it.

Everyone knows how important flowers are -- for their beauty, their fragrance, their oils in Aromatherapy and perfumes, even sometimes in food. But the most important property of flowers is seldom mentioned: their vibrational essence, and their literal connection to the human electrical system.

This is the true meaning of alchemy: to transmute dross into gold -- to transform suffering into joy, pain into learning, dis-ease to health, and darkness into peace and light. Are flower essences capable of doing this? Yes, and more.

Historical Background

The first use of flower essences was during the time of Mu (or Lemuria.) The essences of plants and flowers were used to assist souls in the first incarnations of spirit into form on Planet Earth.
Because Nature is responsible for the creation of all form from its origins in thought to third dimensional reality, it has always been necessary for proper expression of life in and through form to work in partnership with Nature.

In the beginning, there was no question about how this worked. It was understood throughout all the expressions of life on this plane. And although the first incarnations were not perfectly manifest, all beings learned from the process and life was wonder-full. It was very beautiful on Earth at that time. Many souls who are incarnate now remember that time and wish that we could return to such simplicity.

But we cannot. Everything -- all Life -- has evolved. The evolutionary process, in fact, has accelerated and will continue to do so. Therefore, we have new choices.

For Lightworkers in particular, there is joyous news: it is still possible to work co-creatively with Nature, with Spirit, to create and co-design form in multiple dimensions, not just the 3rd dimensional reality humans have come to master, but the new ones that we have already entered. It’s a new game, but there are a few tools we get to take with us to use wherever we go. Our partnership with Nature is still there, waiting only for our consciousness to extend fully into awareness of what is possible.

The relationship of humans with Nature has endured many changes on this planet during its evolutionary eons, yet at the etheric or intentional levels, the dynamics or laws that were established in the beginning are still operational and certainly work in 3rd dimension as well as some others. It is the humans who have gained or lost their awareness of the relationship, not Nature who has changed.

The laws still operate whether or not we are conscious of them; obviously, it is to our advantage to remember as much as possible about our relationships with Nature and our original agreements and partnership. It needs to be said that Nature is intelligent, with a capital I. Humans in this age have been particularly arrogant and ill informed. We would do well to return to a respectful partnership with Nature from here on out!

So, the extent to which we can awaken our potential and take up our side of the equation as full partners (rather than our foolish and unsustainable efforts to control Nature) will determine how successful we might become in any given endeavor we undertake on this plane. The extent to which we do not, will ensure our failure.

In the beginning, plant and flower essences were used as “ambient” templates for the forms that the first souls incarnating sought to create for themselves. Nature created the plants first, and in so doing created the rules, or operating systems, that all life forms have basically used since, with evolutionary changes that strengthened and improved the system being added later.

The first use of flower essences on Earth, therefore, helped to create the actual forms and structures of the human body and all its systems. Over time, once the initial patterns had been established, there was no longer such a great need for there to be individual attention to each human body that incarnated; the pattern could continue indefinitely, subject to evolutionary changes and pressures that arose from time to time.

A discussion of the historical relationship between humans and Nature is beyond the scope of this article and would likely use up all the rest of the trees left on this planet to print it on. Suffice it to say, in summary, that flower essences have worked with humans from the very start, that their importance and place in any given society has waxed and waned, and that many indigenous cultures have preserved the ancient wisdom and knowledge about such things unto the present time.

Current Use and Practice of Flower Essence Therapy

The “technology” of flower essences currently is use owes much to Dr. Edward Bach, an English homeopath whose sensitivity to the actual essences of plants and flowers led to his rediscovery, understanding, formulation and publishing of his findings in the 1920's. It is largely his work that is the basis for all current work being done in the field.

That said, there are now some new leaders in this field, notably:

Findhorn, Scotland (http://www.findhorn.org/home_new.php)
Perelandra, founded by brilliant Nature researcher Machaelle Small Wright
Flower Essence Society in Nevada City, CA -- Pat Kaminski and Richard Katz
Green Hope Farms in New Hampshire -- Molly Sheehan
Raven Essences --Andrea Mathieson

It seems worth mentioning that Dr. Edward Bach’s original 38 flower essences and one very useful combination formula (Rescue Remedy) are now produced by many fine companies, and are known by many as “the Bach remedies.” Now, however, instead of only 38 original essences, there are thousands and many combination formulas, reflecting the urgency of new remedies to heal a troubled world.
Some of the finest minds of our time are now working co-creatively with Nature to identify, research and produce essences that answer human dis-ease almost as quickly as humans can create an imbalance. This conscious partnership with Nature is re-establishing some of the “old ways” that were used in the beginning to create form in 3rd dimensional reality. Such co-creative work will help us build, create and sustain the systems and structures we need to safely enter and transverse multiple dimensions, thus fulfilling our current potential and opening even more new possibilities for the Universe and ultimately for all of Life.

How Flower Essences Work Now -- A Special Focus for New Children and Their Families

With this background, let us turn to the current use and practice of flower essence therapy especially as it applies to the New Children (Indigos, Crystals and all those with more finely calibrated nervous systems.) To put it simply, flower essences balance the electrical systems of any living organism.

Did you ever wonder why the human body contains such a high percentage of liquid? That’s by design -- we need it to conduct the electrical currents throughout our myriad circuits and systems, of which there are millions inside any given body. It’s that electrical current (minute though it is) which provides the energy structure or platform around which all the five elements that create what we call “our body” (actually an aggregate of multiple forms embodied according to individual seed-patterns) and which creates what we call our “electromagnetic field.”

Without going into more detail about this (one could!) let’s just say that with so many layers and interlocking circuits, interacting with an environment in flux and with other organisms both large and infinitely small -- a lot can happen to disrupt one or more circuits; what is needed is a simple reconnection.

What is the easiest, fastest, most direct way to reconnect any disrupted circuit in a living organism? Flower essences! For every condition or imbalance, there is a matching flower essence on the planet whose purpose it is to restore that balance. Furthermore, it is not necessary to know which circuit, or where it is located, to repair it; all that is required is to know what is manifesting and what would you rather experience instead. From there, it is a matter of discovering which flower does “that job.”

Alternatively, the correct flower combination may be discovered intuitively, through kinesiology, psychic attunement for the vibrational match, a MAP process (see Perelandra for more information about this process, and to obtain books about it), or any combination of techniques.

As Molly Sheehan, founder of Green Hope Farms, puts it, our restoration to the perfect pattern with which we were born, our evolution, and ascension “is a process of remembering who we have always been and learning to be this truth in balanced, physical form. The Flowers know exactly how to do this. When you take a Flower Essence you are given the Divine wisdom of the Flower, a blueprint for how to manifest this wisdom in form and an actual example of this vibrational energy which your system can then integrate and replicate. You literally give your system a molecular blueprint for being God incarnate.”

So, we see the purpose of flower essences pretty clearly. But why are flower essences such an important tool for the New Kids? Here’s why. Our systems are more sensitive and vulnerable than most, and essences are what Nature created to solve that and keep us in balance. In addition to special dietary and environmental needs for sustaining optimal health, we need flower remedies more than others do. Yoga, meditation, and proper exercise are part of the package too -- for some people these things may be merely useful, for New Kids (and adults) they are necessary.

One objection that parents may have, about the alcohol preservatives used in many remedies (some contain as much as 30% brandy, for example), is easily addressed by the other available preservatives you can get from a practitioner, such as white distilled vinegar, vegetable glycerine made from coconuts, or red shiso (my personal favorite) which carries a very high vibration all by itself. Most practitioners offer a choice -- be sure to request your preference when ordering.

These are the basic principles. The process of making essences, co-creative work with Nature, and other topics of interest to readers are adequately covered elsewhere. Here is a list of web sites where you can learn more:

http://www.flowersociety.org

http://www.perelandra-ltd.com

http://www.greenhopeessences.com

All of the above links provide educational materials as well as high quality flower essences. There are of course other providers and sources around the world, and you may wish to do your own research for what your system is calling for, and allow your intuition to guide you. The ones listed here I can recommend and endorse without question; if one of your favorite sources is not listed, don’t worry, I just have not had experience with them and so will not comment.

Special combinations and formulas have been created especially for Indigos, Crystals, and New Kids. Future articles will cover them in depth, one by one, including where to obtain them. For now, please know that flower essences are your indispensable ally for sustaining and restoring balance during rapid change and transformation. Your flower essence practitioner will also usually be able to create custom blended formulas for individuals on request. Flower essences are the elixir of alchemy, secret of the Universe, available to everyone for increasing the Light and spirit of Life and Love.

GETTING THINGS IN PLACE AND THE GREAT SEPARATION

By Karen Bishop

Karen.gifKaren Bishop sends through some of the most down to earth yet enlightening energy alerts I have read, this one was sent in October 07 and applies right through to the end of 2007 and beyond. I find her writings speak of things that I too am experiencing and she puts them so well I thought you might like to read one here.

“Through a passion and joy of expressing what is occurring at the highest levels, Karen Bishop brings to you through What’s Up On Planet Earth?, the newest, most current status of our evolution back to Source and into the New World.”

What's Up On Planet Earth? energy alerts, such as this one, are offered several times per month. You can request regular energy alerts yourself by logging on to her web site at http://www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/

Colin

Greetings! Things remain mostly the same, as we are still settling in to a very new existence and reality which will complete for the most part in January (referring to the settling in and on-going changes).

Losing things is ever present, as this is the way of ascension. We lose anything that vibrates lower than ourselves, whether it be our doctors, our jobs, our homes, our careers, or even our personal relationships or even towns we are living in. And during these times of dimensional transition, it can always be challenging when the old has departed, if the new has yet to arrive. But know that all this loss for some, only means that all things new are readying to arrive, and the new will be oh so much better in all ways!

Another common occurrence of dimensional shifting is having things hold onto us. It seems that we are being held back, grabbed onto, and nearly forced into staying where we used to be. This can manifest as tripping over extension cords in your home, getting entangled in shrubbery, having individuals or groups continuing to ask you to join them when you have moved on, or even having our loved ones offer us on-going “things” that we have adamantly said we no longer want a part of.

We may find ourselves screaming “NO!” in states of complete frustration, as it may seem that our wishes of a higher way are being ignored. We are simply entangling ourselves from the old reality, and at times, it can be a struggle….literally!

“Stay here! Stay here!” these energies seem to be saying. But one important aspect of ascension, is that we eventually come to know that we are very separate, even though a part of the whole. And in this way, as we grow and expand within our spiritual evolutionary process, we begin to realize that we simply MUST be who we are, we MUST maintain that energy, at all costs. (A brief note here as well: In the higher realms, we are all separate through our own individual gifts and talents, but very much a part of the whole as well, as each individual vibration comprises a whole. It is always best then, to really be whom we truly are and maintain our own individual vibration as much as possible, without reacting to or being influenced by outside energies.)

So then, as mentioned so many times in previous energy alerts, when we are in the company of lower vibrating energies (or simply energies that are yet to arrive where we have arrived first), we need only maintain a position of love and compassion for them (which places us in a continuous higher vibrating state), but most importantly, we also need to maintain our own vibration and continue to embody what we have learned and become. Whew!

Staying in a state of continual love and compassion is no easy feat, as our first impulse might be one of irritation and anger, or perhaps frustration. “This is NOT the way things are supposed to be!” “I cannot be around this old energy for one more minute!” In this way, we must separate ourselves, as this is also the way of ascension. We must move into new territory and create the new and higher ways of living and being.

This past week I have been very involved with moving. Changing cell phone carriers, internet providers, working with a new landlord, and making the normal moving plans. Being in the world of the old for so many days in a row is making me depressed, sad, drained, and the like. It is most certainly dragging me down. But after examining things over and over with my husband, we can see no other way. We live very simply, but are still in transition so to speak, so we must utilize these old systems for awhile longer.

I need internet for my store-front. Internet is one of the things that will be needed for some, if we are to be in service to those transitioning. I think I would give anything to be free of the internet! I need a cell phone for awhile longer, as I stay in contact with my family on a daily basis. And we still need city water and electricity in our temporary home. So there we were, even though we had become quite cranky.

The beauty of our store-fronts is that they will provide service and transition assistance to those who are ready and in need. So in this way, our store-fronts will exist on the dimensional “border.” And when we are involved in activities related to them, we may feel that we are being dragged down for awhile.

But things are moving ahead as well. Many are reporting that they are finding land in places they had never thought to look…and this land is at prices which are easily affordable, especially as many of us are wanting large parcels to house our sacred sanctuaries and safe havens…readying to create spaces for many to come. We may not even be aware that this is our destiny, but by following the crumbs of Source and our soul’s all knowing wisdom, we may suddenly find ourselves in new situations that are seemingly not our own idea.

When we find ourselves in situations that are not our own conscious idea, we will always be supported and provided for, if we choose to follow the new path of Source. Doors will fly open, the road will be clear, and we will find ourselves in a new space as it effortlessly arrives. This is the energy of our soul’s desire. This is the energy of the divine. It takes us where we need to be, as we get out of the way.

Are you one who is waiting and experiencing little or no movement at this time? Are you not quite sure what your store-front is? Know that there are those whose souls had planned to go first, in regard to their specific purpose. So then, some are experiencing movement, as their roles require them to go ahead now, and for others, it is not yet time for them, as their roles are just as vitally important, but involve a different scenario and situation that will arise in weeks and months to come.

All is in divine and perfect order. Your soul remembers its plan, even if you do not, and it will drag you along whether you want to go or not! This is why surrendering is always a great and wonderful thing to do, as even if things are very evident, even though they have come as a complete surprise, surrendering can place one in a true place of alignment…and this is when the miracles and synchronicities happen.

On October 1st, a door slammed shut. A dimensional door. In this way, we were either on one side or on the other. This created sudden separations. It was the aftermath of all the energies leading up to this point from the equinox of September 23rd, and the eclipses preceding it. Some manifestations? Those “on board” could absolutely no longer tolerate any lower vibrating relationships, scenarios, situations, or the like, and may have felt a sudden need to depart and move forward on their own. But those individuals and situations that were left behind had choices as well. So through separation, they then had a choice to “get on board,” by surrendering and a willingness to let go of all the old illusions and perceptions they may have held, and to be willing to leave behind much of the old. Whether through conscious choices, or through sudden losses, the old is being left behind at rapid rates during this latest dimensional shift.

Know that something holy is occurring here. There is much grace present. These times of change and loss are painful, but they are divinely orchestrated. Although we may experience separation from loved ones for a time, the majority of the time it is only because we are at different levels. In this way, we all catch up to one another and come together again eventually, but sometimes it can take awhile. And because of personal choice, the timelines can be open to much variance. We can catch up to each other in a day, an hour, a week, or even a few months. It is all a matter of letting go and surrendering.

Many will begin to hit their rock bottoms, as the rug will seemingly be pulled out from under them. This is part of the letting go process. And this is when surrendering can be a jewel in the desert. It can light our way and it can certainly bring us many supports, if only we are willing to let go and allow.

Are you one who thinks you may not be having a store-front? The store-fronts are here for a specific purpose. They can provide assistance to those in transition, but they also provide assistance for those who have them. We are still a monetary based society. We are just now beginning the process of living in total harmony with the earth and the cosmos. Until we are really and completely there, most of us must have money to survive and we must live within the old systems to a degree for awhile longer. And even when we are able to live off grid and in harmony with the earth and cosmos, we will still need to have a community of support. We cannot do it all ourselves. We were not meant to. And this involves those within the community being in states where they are now willing to let go of much of their egos and know what their own roles and contributions are….knowing that they do not wear all the hats or control them.

What if you are already living in total harmony with the earth and cosmos, and not feeling as if you need anyone else? Spirit loves company. We all innately want everyone there with us. This is our natural state of being. When we arrive in higher states of being, we also begin the selfless act of service. This is a part of evolution as well. As more and more aspects of our old selves leave…we then begin to vibrate in the purity of our soul purpose, and with an overwhelming desire to serve others.

The plan is to evolve into these states and ways of being, and then embrace others into the fold when they are ready to arrive through the letting go and surrendering process. If you do not think that you are one who will have a store-front, then you must be one who can either survive all alone, away from the old systems, or you have an unusual ability to be in total love, compassion, and acceptance of the old energies a large amount of the time.

Once these small communities begin forming and sustaining themselves, then those residing there will be able to let go of their store-fronts and focus entirely on higher ways of living and being. We are getting close to this point right now. But there will always be those who will continue to have a store-front, as their particular role involves assisting others in the lower dimensions more than living in and creating the new communities. These individuals will be involved with their store-fronts with the support of their community, and spend time in their community when they are not serving those in transition.

Phil and I have noticed that the time we spend in our new town, although we have not moved there quite yet, makes us clearly see some things. The town has a population of just over 400. There are no stores, there is no gas station, and there is only a post office, two cafes, and not much else. What this intimate and small setting creates, is a community of support. When Phil and I return to our current town of 3,000 or so, we notice a stark contrast. People are dependent on stores and outside creations. Even in our current town with this small population of over 3,000, the focus is on going to the store, running errands, etc. The interaction between individuals is lost..the focus is on the outside to provide the supports.

This will be vitally important as we begin to create these new communities of support. And as the old systems and ways begin to crash, as mentioned many times in past energy alerts, “local” will become a lifesaver. And this is the way it should be, as local places us in alignment as well (Staying In Alignment speaks of this a lot) within us and where we are residing.

To wrap things up: We are still in the settling in stage until January, when we will be anchored in much more securely within our new supportive environments and sanctuaries. Roles are different for each and every one of us. Therefore, some are at different stages of settling in than others. Like a domino affect, when one lightworker anchors in, it will create the opening and trigger things for another lightworker to begin their settling in process. So then, the timelines vary for each of us.

Source is guiding us very strongly now. We are most certainly being watched over and protected in all ways. Our paths will become evident, as there is no possibility for anyone to get lost, if we are willing to let go and surrender to the plan of Source, or our soul.

After we are securely in our spots, much will rev up in regard to more falling away through natural disasters, destruction, and the loss of the old. But at that time, each of us will be divinely protected and ready to serve or to begin creating the new in our sacred spaces.

Navigating the dimensions, while settling in, can cause extreme drowsiness and spaciness, with an inability to focus. Reaching for a thought or trying to comprehend things can be nearly impossible (on that note, I hope this article makes any sense!).

In these times of great change, we are always taken care of, loved, protected, and guided.

Wishing you Heaven in your heart, starlight in your soul, and miracles in your life in these miraculous times.

Until next time,

Karen

Enlightenment – what is it?

By Karen Leys

karen.jpgI want to begin this article by challenging myself to see where I go with this question, to work with this question with my intellectual mind first, then allow a process to unfold and allow myself to be in this process. I have come back to the beginning of this article and added this paragraph. Now that I have come to an end point at this time with this question, I have just been on another step of my journey to enlightenment. By allowing myself the time to question my perceptions and belief systems to this point, I have been questing!

 

1. A process of unfolding information, experience, integration to a new level of understanding, through the development of personal will with emotional intelligence? The hero’s journey!
2. A removal of an ingrained belief/ perception that had been created through the individual making choices from belief structures of another’s will and direction?
3. An awakening to a new awareness through a process of :-
  a) confusion – finding oneself lost in belief systems that until that moment had sustained ones interaction with the world
  b) questioning, (questing) - where these ingrained ‘tribal’ systems had come from, separating from the ‘tribal system’ to see which fit and no longer fit
  c) exploring and experiencing new information/skills, developing ones own belief system with the limited emotional security
  d) application of these new skills and information, the experience of alternative outcomes.
4. An instantaneous breakthrough to levels of perception previously veiled from ‘view’.

Enlightenment from my limited experience and understanding contains the whole of who we are, it is an experience that includes the intellectual mind, the emotional aspect of our being and the spiritual nature of the who we are and the physical body. A process of refinement of who we are through a journey, from follower without question to way shower (wise person/sage archetype) with integrity, compassion and fearlessness!

As a subject that has been studied, pondered, debated and explored from many angles for thousands of years I am going to try to keep it as simple, yet as expansive as my experience will enable me. My personal experience of my ‘hero’s journey’ of enlightenment began the moment I began to re-awaken! This moment was my journey of a thousand miles beginning with the first step, I questioned! Enlightenment can only BE once the questioning begins.

Enlightenment is a life long process that yanks us from the deep sleep of ignorance into the waking state of unfoldment, to Oneness, and the chasm between these points being a journey of refinement, a process of alchemy, transforming the mind, the body, the spirit from lead to gold!

A fundamental aspect of enlightenment is the development of Will, personal will that is balanced in its use of Strength (strong will, compassion and integrity), good will and skill (skilful will!). Once the questing person has recognised, honed and developed the aspects of will in their personal life this then evolves into a collective, transpersonal Will.

The development and use of these qualities can assist us in making great changes in this world. We can have all sorts of dreams but without the conscious use of will, these dreams can become nightmares or just fade into nothingness. When we want to make a change in the world we need to use all aspects of will. The first is the consciousness (knowing) that we have the ability to create things, then the skill to rally all we need for its creation, tempered with the insight that we can affect the greater good depending on our intentions and the strength to motivate the manifestation of the objective!

enlightenment.jpgWe are collectively living through an historical time when this awakening process can be seen all around us, the cracking through the darkness into the light can be felt psychically all around us, the earth is screaming with the pains of this birthing process, as are we. Humanity is crying in pain as we transcend from the womb of gestation! The birthing contractions are strong, and we are still pretty much in the darkness of the uterus, but many can see the point of light. At this time it may look dark and bleak, but before the breaking of a new dawn a destruction of the old is a necessary step and this step is where individually the fear can halt us. Fear of change, resistance, avoidance are all relevant and necessary aspects of unfolding, without these stages we would not know things are transforming into new states of being.

The process of enlightenment can be seen symbolically in the cycles of nature. With winter, the period of darkness, of questioning, then on to Spring, the time to see the seeds planted in our autumn time emerge and burst through. At this time we can see the product of our choices from who and where we were previously, do we like what we see emerging, do we even notice what it is? Maybe these are the ‘flowers’ of our choices made through the will of others?

Here, if we are questioning, we have the choice to pull them up and prepare the soil for planting what we do wish to see grow! On the other hand if we have already had a season of pulling up the weeds and preparing the soil then maybe what we are seeing push through the earth are the shoots of the choices we made in our Autumn.

Then comes Summer, now this is the time for fullness of these choices, for them to grow into all they can become. They reach their zenith, become their fullest possibility of evolution at this moment.

The next phase, Autumn, is the phase that we as unfolding beings find the hardest – the time to let the nature of that self quieten, to die back and return to the earth. Mother nature does not fear this dying off, she trusts without question the return of this aspect of herself, the return next season, fuller, stronger & more of its fullest potential!

So I feel enlightenment is being in awareness of the nature of transformation from one state of being to another without fear, and with a trust so unquestionable, the existence of question is no longer perceived.
