Spirare 1

Spirare. To breathe. The breath of life.

This insight is not quite formed, but here goes…this inner knot that has been with me my whole life and probably lifetimes and dimensionalities beyond. It says I will lose everything. It chatters that constantly. It grips my gut and wakes me up at night.

But it is an illusion.

I think if I really got that, it would dissolve and delude me no more. But I do get it. Maybe not enough? The knot has enough energy and seeming-life to grip me so.

It is a is a weird place to be. That knowing but not knowing. Knowing in such a way that finally you – ah! – see the roots and yank that weed out of your psyche and soul. I live there alot.

The New Dark

There is a new energy for use on the planet.  Some are calling it Dark energy, like dark matter or black hole energy.  We have negative associations with the Dark in our world, but our challenge is to dissociate the Dark energy with those beliefs.  Those beliefs may have been originally propagated to dissuade us from welcoming and integrating the Dark energy.

Some are saying the old grid – the Light grid – is dead.  Maybe it is.  I am not sure.  I know it is not as solid as it has been (for ages!) and soon will not be predominant in the way it was, but I don’t know if it is gone altogether.  It can feel like it is gone or disappeared, though.

We have been preparing for this shift for  ?? probably a long time.  It has been slow in coming.  I look at how young people communicate – condensing words to a few letters or one image (emoji) – and I see them cultivating (the beginnings of) Dark communication.

The Dark is not negative – in the sense we usually think, like bad – it is just different.  It has different physics and therefore requires new skills from the individual.  This can feel disorienting, sad (because the old way is gone) and scary (because we fear the unknown).

Dimensionality

One difference between the old Light grid and the new Dark energy (don’t know if the Dark will become a grid? [doesn’t seem to be its nature] or blend with a Light grid to form something entirely new?) is in what can be termed “dimensionality.”   It is this dimensionality that gives “room” for the Shadow consciousness (the fears, doubts, worry) to exist.

For example, if you have a sense of futurity – if you believe in a future – this creates a kind of dimensional creation/form in your reality.  It is similar to the image below, except it is your consciousness creating the form: in this case a “future.”  If you believe/create a future and a past, you can then worry about it.  That is where the shadow comes in.  If there is no arc of time – an imagined future and past – there literally is no room for shadow: worry.  There is only the Now.  The Now is not the same – or in any way like – the imagined future and past.

Who “does?”

This is my pleasure reading.  Seriously.  It’s a book about the teachings of Ramana Maharshi who lived and taught in southern India in the late 19th and first half of the 20th century.  He awakened at age 16, with no prior interest in spirituality.

He said, “The ‘I’-thought is only limited ‘I’.  The real ‘I’ is unlimited, universal, beyond time and space.”

What emerges with the limited “I” thought, however, is the world as we know it.

Today when I look out at the gorgeous green land around me, the luminous clouds in the western sky climbing the hill, I see the beauty and I see the unreality.  It makes me feel sad.  But that, apparently, is not the final word.  We shall see.

Consciousness First

Business “how-to’s” are important, but far less important than most people think.  Business strategies are given power they do not possess.  The power of your business is in your consciousness.

Work on your inner state, especially self-compassion and self-love.  Your inner state is the most powerful business tool.

You become magnetic to what you desire, including the business you love and all its mechanics.

(More) on perceptual filters

We are wired to gauge the “rightness” of something by how good it makes us feel.  This is not always what we should use to measure the rightness of an action or path.  Please understand, I am not saying we should ignore feelings that indicate something is wrong.  We should not do that.

However, we might be taking the right action at the right time and it doesn’t necessarily feel good.  Feeling good is a perceptual filter.  If we use our wisdom (our own wisdom) we might benefit from some investigation about the value of an action or experience if we look beyond the feeling state it engenders.  The feeling state might be an old habit.  The action or experience might be something beyond the known. And perfect for us right now.

Frequency Matters

Everything has a frequency.  Visible objects have a frequency as do inner states, which are not visible.  What does the frequency of anger feel like?  What does the frequency of joy feel like?

Inner states may lead to actions or they may not.  Actions are, of course, important and there should be harmony between inner state and outer actions.  However, your inner state comes first.  It is the most important.  It is the point of power; the pivot of creation.
