Toward a World that Works for Everyone
For whatever reason I now experience there being space between something happening and my response. I’m no longer automatically reacting. I seem to have more room in myself, less craziness. That could be because I’m more at peace and so not as much driven by vasanas (core issues) and the automatic response patterns they give […]
We’re on a journey of Ascension at this moment and the last thing I personally want to do is to make that journey outside conscious awareness – “in a fit of unconsciousness,” as some wag put it. No, I may not run a spaceship. But I run the good ship I Am. I’m monarch over […]
I’m about to lay down Theorem No. 10. How should I phrase it? Confidence varies directly proportional to forgiveness. (1) I say that after enjoying a reading from Kathleen in which she made available to me a second opportunity to forgive my father for domestic violence. (2) I took it and enjoyed the release it […]
I’ve just become aware of the most subtle feeling, one that permeates my entire experience and holds me back on all matters of initiation and self-presentation. It blankets me. I’m feeling into it at this moment, treating it as a vasana (or core issue). (1) It has a shade of sorrow. —-> [A flash of […]
I’m watching charges and counter-charges fly on the political scene, threats and counter-threats. The biggest is: The President threatens to pack the Supreme Court. The Court responds by taking on a case that could unseat the President and Congress. All is up in the air. As a student of awareness, I’m watching the impact on […]
I am at the moment processing a really persistent and deeply-rooted vasana (or core issue), which I’ve never even noticed till now because of its construction. (2) It’s a two-handed conversation, rather than a simple single voice. I’m going to call it a “nexus.” (3) One side of the conversation is hatred of the father. […]
It sounds like, from what I’m hearing, we’re all finding ourselves strained at this point in time. My own version of it is that everything incomplete is arising. (Everything hid shall be known.) Everything not nailed down is flying through the air. All my dislikes, grievances, and resentments are coming up – not as thoughts […]
I want to say at the beginning that I’m not talking about emotional pain, trauma, etc. That’s a different subject and a very difficult one. I recommend clearing emotional pain using the upset clearing process. (1) I’m talking about physical pain and I’m specifically relating to the pain in my knees from a newly-arisen case […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) I wanted to go deeper into my observation of the still space when suddenly a fear arose. I said to myself: If I go deeper, I invite a deep spiritual experience. Will that interfere with my work? The mere appearance of fear was enough of an obstacle to halt the […]
There’s so much bad news that I feel my stomach tightening up when I read my email, scan the news, or visit my favorite sites. Even though I know the eventual outcome will be wonderful, I sag from time to time. I’m to report the good, less of the bad, none of the ugly. But […]
I’d like to continue with the discussion I began yesterday, which keeps unfolding for me. It was the first time I consciously served as my own therapist and guided the listening process to a successful completion. It also showed how many vasanas, of increasing depth, are rising to the surface – at least in me. […]
I think the energies are forcing every last vasana (or core issue) up in us. Here’s one that’s up for me. I have an inordinate need for quiet right now and I’m sure it’s a problem for people around me. Anything carried to an extreme stands a good chance of being a vasana. So let […]
For the first time in memory, I got angry this evening and, instead of hurling allegations at another, who after all “made me mad,” instead of festering with it, instead of revenging myself on the other person, I opened to the experience of it. It turned out to be a feeling just like any other. […]
There are degrees of freedom. At one end of the spectrum, there’s physical freedom, where all my limbs and organs are working and I can live without worrying very much about them. That’s a basic-level freedom. All the way at the other end of the spectrum, there’s ultimate freedom. We climb Jacob’s Ladder of consciousness […]
One could see the process of uncovering or revealing the Self as akin to moulting. The crab doesn’t find itself. It moults a confining shell. If we go off in search of the Self, we’re busying the very one we want to “find.” “I’m searching for the Self.” “Go away. I’m busy.” “What are you […]
