Reality: As catastrophe astounds,catalyst abounds

This morning an 8.8 level earthquake happened 34 miles below central Chile, wreaking havoc in several cities and setting off tsunami warnings over a wide area, including South America, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand, Japan, the Philippines, Russia and many Pacific islands. Coming on the coattails of the recent Haiti earthquake, where so much devastation occurred, one has to be aware of the quickening.

Yes. I am drawing parallels. The transition to the 4th density, cosmic convergence or 2nd tier as some call it, can be likened to the stages of a birth. Beyond conception (food for another blog entry), for 75,000 years the earth and it's inhabitants have been gestating--growing, developing a framework to be able to safely emerge unto the new world. 75,000 years is the sum of the three 25,000 year cycles of our earthly existence--a universal time frame, according to Ra as set out in the Law of One. Many great civilizations have come and gone--have learned much, and in many cases, destroyed themselves.

The Mayan calendar also maps our gestational period, and, it seems as if Mother Earth's water has broken in the form of tsunami! Earthquake contractions, pains of all kinds for earth's inhabitants seem to be pointing to our imminent birth. I have mentioned Carl Johan Calleman, the Mayan scholar in previous posts. The following is taken from his website The Mayan Calendar:


In this plan for the evolution of consciousness we are now approaching the sixth night of the Galactic Wave Movement, the eighth of the nine levels, which will begin on November 8, 2009. If my understanding of the Mayan calendar is correct we will in this coming night be witnessing the most significant transformation of consciousness ever in the history of mankind. What is exciting about this is that I feel that a relatively clear picture of how a new world is going to be born is now finally becoming evident. On the other hand, what is also becoming increasingly clear is that this birth is likely to become very demanding. For this reason it becomes all the more important to understand how some of the difficulties ahead actually serve the delivery of this new world even though it may not always seem that they do so in the moment. If people can gain a realistic understanding of how this new world will be born they may be able to keep a hope for the future, which is based on something more than mere wishful thinking. Unfortunately, much confusion reigns about the Mayan calendar and many that present themselves as experts on this deny the ancient Mayan knowledge that there are nine cosmic forces that are about to manifest, and that it is these, and nothing else, that explains why a new world will be born.

Thus, what will happen in the time ahead cannot be understood from the sixth night of the Galactic Underworld alone. The overlapping of the cycles preparing for the ninth, and highest, level in the cosmic evolution scheme; the Universal Wave Movement (see Figure) with the energy of this sixth night will then also need to be taken into consideration. Because of this overlapping, and the speed-up of time associated especially with the latter Wave Movement, not only do I think that the upcoming period will be unusually intense, but also energetically quite complex.


Are the earthquakes and tsunamis, and economic downfalls all a part of our transition period? Are these the complexities--the contractions leading to our re-birth? Doesn't TIME (that linear tease) always tell?

As we experienced the devastation in Haiti, millions of people gave of themselves in a massive wave of compassion for those suffering Haitians. It stopped us for some moments--gave us pause to consider the truly important things--to imagine a moment in someone else's shoes. It connected us--unified us. The catastrophe as catalyst for unity.

How will you face the challenges?

Ah. The upcoming months/years are sure to throw the kitchen sink at us, as does life in general. Apart from a fierce adherence to openness, love, and compassion, here are a few other things to consider:

Taken from Neil Haddon's It's Up to You, Now

"Facing these challenges requires considerable courage, and naturally evokes the spectre which stalks most being humans on this planet: fear. We should recall Chapter Five and our exploration of the nature of fear. Another drain on our courage is lack of self-esteem - a serious psychological problem especially in the developed world. Under-estimation of ourselves has become a sort of genetic disease. In his inaugural speech, Nelson Mandela quoted Marianne Williamson’s book, ‘A Return to Love’:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves: ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"

Michael Masser and Linda Creed wrote, and Whitney Houston sang, “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all” and this is something which most of us too easily overlook in our haste to be of service to others. We all have dark secrets, private failings which we hide from even our nearest and dearest; we even try to hide them from ourselves sometimes. Yet what are we afraid of? Old fashioned, old testament religious upbringing, that’s what. The idea of ‘sin’, and punishment for ‘sin’. Well, folks, there ain’t no sin, and there certainly ain’t gonna be no punishment for ‘sin’. No hell fire, no damnation; not even any purgatory.

There really is no right or wrong: there is only experience. You cannot make mistakes, for every experience supports your knowledge and growth. ‘Better to have tried and failed, than to have failed to try,’ goes the old adage, and how true it is. So stop being ashamed of yourself; bring those dark secrets to mind, face them, think about them for a moment. Find the love in that episode, what did you learn? See how it enriched you. Be grateful for the experience. Then let it go. Hiding from these self-judgments, scourging yourself day after day, month after month, year after year, merely brings them with you, keeping them alive."

Good stuff here. And supports Seth's contention that you form your world through your beliefs. I think that the best way to prepare yourself for the upcoming challenges is the best way to conduct your life in general. Mindfulness. I know I can relate to the fears Marianne Williamson writes of. Have we been brought up to prize humility above all else? To squash our apparent pride and self love before we become obnoxiously stuck up? How many of us were taken down a peg as children and then learned to undermine ourselves, continuing the "lesson"?  Be aware of the quiet talk--what you tell yourself within is very potent.

Balance. There needs to be a balance. Self love and love of all else teeters here. You cannot properly attend to others if you do not love yourself. Since we are all of the same stuff --a part of All That Is--self denigration is importantly injurious.

You need a healthy happy strong you on your team. Can you imagine our collective strength as a result?

There is no going back....

 A comment by Auden on the post Momentous learnings....got me thinking. All of this accelerated seeking we are doing--all of the seen and unseen "Helping hands" around us--all of the information virtually at our fingertips is happening for a reason. We have come to know or intuit that the reason is a major convergence on our near horizon. This convergence is a momentous upgrade in our very consciousness. I have described this upgrade in the post Ra Ra Ra The Law of One, amongst others.

Our "knowing"--I put this in quotes because on this plane we do not really know what lies ahead --is due to channeled information available from those entities who "reside" outside of our space/time, and to the predictions of advanced ancient civilizations. There are also those in the academic/scientific world who have mapped future scenarios using supercomputers and massive amounts of data, that can "see" what is coming. Our intuitions though, are fueled by our own inner knowledge of what the future holds and can be/ are accessed when we dream. This inner well of truth and knowledge gives legitimacy to our recent feelings that something is up.


I like the term what the future holds. As we step outside of our experience of linear time, we are told that everything happens simultaneously. Past and future, along with parallel activity, all emanate from the present moment. Seth calls it the Point of Power. So this all-important present moment affects the future as well as the past. My understanding of this seeming paradox is this: when we access a memory it is a new phenomenon happening now. This new thought of something (even though we think of it as a past event) has new energy--a new framework even, to it. (You know how over time our memory of something changes?) This new energy moves out to the "past" affecting the pattern that once was and literally changes the past as we perceive it to be. Every time we re-remember a past event, we reinvent it, we re-create it.


 The future is also affected by the present moment. But more than the linear idea of cause and effect, the future is constantly pulsating with the changing energies of our thoughts, emotions, desires, and intentions. And the changing or "modified past" also affects our future.


It is like Auden commented: "the body becomes upgraded as our DNA becomes revamped with all these new waves of conscious light energy being transmitted by our beings. lots of inner working, adjusting, integration, re-calibration. no going back, heh...tho i could not even imagine doing so"


You really can't go back to an earlier stage can you, even if the desire was there? We are one big roiling experiment experiencing constant change. There really never is a future to reach or a past to go back to, just an ever evolving present you. And in that sense we are at the beginning of the journey and at the end of it simultaneously. What the future holds is the sum of our existence. What an awesome and crazy crazy thought!

The upcoming convergence then.....a part of us has already experienced it and can help us navigate the waters with love and compassion for yourself and others. Like I suspect Auden and many feel right now, I am grateful to be around during these interesting and transformative times.

IN THE BEGINNING....

I would like to share a beautiful rendition/explanation of creation, viewed through the experience/knowledge of Seth--via Jane Roberts. Yes, I speak of the one big creation--the Big Bang. After all that I have read and pondered, I feel that this is an amazing revelation. Above all, our creation was the intelligent, conscious output of the one intelligence--the one consciousness--All That Is. Seth's description really fueled my imagination. It is good stuff!

What you call God is the sum of all consciousnesses, and yet the whole is more than the sum of Its parts. God is more than the sum of all personalities (souls), and yet all personalities are what He is.

He is not human in your terms, though he passed through human stages; and here the Buddhist myth comes closest to approximating reality. He is not one individual, but an energy gestalt.

This absolute, ever-expanding, instantaneous psychic gestalt, which you call God if you prefer, is so secure in its existence that it can constantly break itself down and rebuild itself.

Its energy is so unbelievable, that it does indeed form all universes; and because its energy is within and behind all universes, systems and fields, it is indeed aware of each sparrow that falls, for it is each sparrow that falls.

Now - and this will seem like a contradiction in terms - there is nonbeing. It is a state of, not of nothingness, but a state in which probabilities and possibilities are known and anticipated but blocked from expression.

Dimly, through what you would call history, hardly remembered, there was such a state. It was a state of agony in which the powers of creativity and existence were known, but the ways to produce them were not known.

This is the lesson that All That Is had to learn, and that could not be taught. This is the agony from which creativity originally was drawn, and its reflection is still seen.

Some of this discussion is bound to be distorted, because I must explain it to you in terms of time as you understand it. So I will speak for your benefit, of some indescribably distant past in which these events occurred.

All That Is retains memory of that state, and it serves as a constant impetus - in your terms - toward renewed creativity. Each self (you), as a part of All That Is therefore also retains memory of that state. It is for this reason that each minute consciousness is endowed with the impetus toward survival, change, development, and creativity. It is not enough that All That Is as a primary energy gestalt, desires further being, but each portion of It (you) also carries this determination.

Yet the agony itself was used as the means, and the agony itself served as the impetus, strong enough so that All That Is initiated within Itself the means to be.

If - and this is impossible - all portions but the most minute last 'unit' of All That Is were destroyed, All That Is would continue, for within the smallest portion is the innate knowledge of the whole. All That Is protects Itself, therefore, and all that It has and is and will create.

When I speak of All That Is, you must understand my position within It. All That Is knows no other. This does not mean that there may not be more to know. It does not know whether or not other psychic gestalts like It exist. It is not aware of them if they do exist. It is constantly searching. It knows that something else existed before Its own primary dilemma when it could not express itself.

It is conceivable then, that It has evolved, in your terms, so long ago, It has forgotten Its origin, that It has developed from still another Primary which has - again, in your terms - long since gone Its way. So there are answers that I cannot give you, for they are not known anywhere in the system in which we have our existence. We do know that within this system of our All That Is, creation continues and developments are never still.

The first state of agonized search for existence may have represented the birth throes of All That Is as we know it. In other words, All That Is existed in a state of being, but without the means to find expression for Its being. This was the state of agony of which I spoke. 

The agony and the desire to create represented Its proof of Its own reality. The feelings, in other words, were adequate proof to All That Is that It was.

At first, in your terms, all of probable reality existed as nebulous dreams within the consciousness of All That Is. Later, the unspecific nature of these 'dreams' grew more particular and vivid. The dreams became recognizable one from the other until they drew the conscious notice of All That Is. And with curiosity and yearning, All That Is paid more attention to Its own dreams.

It then purposely gave them more and more detail, and yearned toward this diversity and grew to love that which was not yet separate from Itself. It gave consciousness and imagination to personalities (us) while they were still within Its dreams. They also yearned to be actual.

Potential individuals, in your terms, had consciousness before the beginning or any beginning as you know it, then. They (you) clamored to be released into actuality, and All That Is, in unspeakable sympathy, sought within Itself for the means.

His was in your terms a primary cosmic dilemma, and one with which It wrestled until All That Is was completely involved and enveloped within that cosmic problem.

Had It not solved it, All That Is would have faced insanity, and there would have been, literally, a reality without reason and a universe run wild.

The pressure came from two sources: from the conscious but still probable individual selves who found themselves alive in God's dream, and from the God who yearned to release them.

This, then, is the dilemma of any primary pyramid gestalt: It creates reality. It also recognized within each consciousness (you) the massive potential that existed. The means, then, came to It. It must release the creatures and probabilities from Its dream.

To do so would give them actuality. However, it also meant 'losing' a portion of Its own consciousness, for it was within that portion that they were held in bondage. All That Is had to let go. 

With love and longing It let go that portion of Itself, and they (souls) were free. The psychic energy exploded in a flash of creation (big bang).

All That Is, therefore, 'lost' a portion of Itself in that creative endeavor. All That Is loves all that is has created down to the least, for It realizes the dearness and uniqueness of each consciousness which has been wrest from such a state and at such a price.

It, of Itself and from this state, has given life to infinities of possibilities. From Its agony, It found the way to burst forth in freedom, through expression, and in so doing gave existence to individualized consciousnesses. Therefore It is rightfully jubilant.

Yet all individuals remember their source, and now dream of All That Is as All That Is once dreamed of them. And they yearn toward that immense source... and yearn to set It free and give It actuality through their own creations.

These connections between you and All That Is can never be severed, and Its awareness is so delicate and focused that Its attention is indeed directed with a prime creator's love to each consciousness."

At the end of this session with Jane Roberts, Seth said that his words need to be read many times, "for there are implications that are not obvious." 

Seth also said...

Even this overall pyramid gestalt (God) is not static. Most of your God concepts deal with a static God, and here is one of your main theological difficulties. The awareness and experience of this gestalt changes and grows. There is no static God. When you say 'This is God,' then God is already something else.All portions of All That Is are constantly changing, enfolding and unfolding. All That Is, seeking to know Itself, constantly creates new versions of Itself. For this seeking Itself is a creative activity and is the core of all action.

Avatar's obvious lessons?

My sense of reality was rocked last weekend when I attended the 3-d visual delight known as Avatar. I swear I had a feeling of deja vu---or at least a heavy heavy longing to be of that lush world called Pandora. It was an emotional journey for me from the beginning. There was much violence, yet so much grace. And so much symbolism--the former marine Jake who became whole again when adopting a Na'vi (native Pandorans) body. And the scene where an animal lay dying after attacking Jake. Neytiri (A Na'vi princess) spoke such words of forgiveness, praise and blessing over the animal's body, that I fogged up my 3-d glasses. 

The beauty of the natural world portrayed by James Cameron's special effects is indescribable, but mostly, the connectedness of the indigenous peoples (Na'vi) with their physical world and all of it's inhabitants was astonishing and gut wrenching--especially when juxtaposed with the apparent disconnect of the human exploitation machine, there on Pandora to mine the planet. 

I dragged my reluctant husband to see Avatar--I think the gadgety idea of the 3-d glasses was the only draw for him.  That and it was so cold and snowy there wasn't much else on our plates that day. The embarrassment of a crying wife aside, he said it was the best movie he'd ever seen. He was thoroughly touched.

I believe this movie spoke to that sense within all of us of the extraordinary goodness and diversity of our living planet (including all of us), and another time when we were/will be as a people, much more connected. The most blatant depiction of the Na'vi's connection with Pandora was in the Tree of Souls scenes--where all of the Na'vi were gathered around this luminous tree with their tails (yes they have very expressive and interactive tails) connected into the very root system and "earth" upon which they sat.

 I have read many reviews of the movie and the naysayers mostly look to the plot as weak and the character development as weaker.  As has been said, it is all "too obvious". We are apparently a much more sophisticated lot these days and like our lessons to be cloaked in heavy symbolism, mystery, and obscure subtleties. I usually gravitate to the more subtle messages myself. 

The big message of Avatar was obvious to me, and surely obvious to all who have seen this movie. Yet as we left the theater I sadly noticed some of the aisles littered with trash--candy boxes and popcorn buckets--soda cups. Apparently there are still those who, even after a bludgeoning such as Avatar is supposed to be, do not see the obvious.
