As editor Mary points out, there are ties that bind, but there are also binds that tie. Our core issues are binds that tie us in knots. They’re binds in the sense that we find ourselves propelled in directions that once may have been useful but now, much later in life, are no longer so. […]
The Binds that Tie – Part 2/2
(Continued from Part 1.) Another was that my Dad, colorfully, used to call me a “lazy, no-good, good-for nothing.” The flip side was that I became the world’s most prolific producer, a workaholic, a person for whom his output defined who he was (as you can see by the library attached to this site and […]
Core Issues
Core issues are vasanas that go so deep that they define who we consider ourselves to be and how we present ourselves in life. A vasana is itself an automatic reaction pattern that has its roots in an earlier, similar traumatic event which has seared its way into our consciousness. Some vasanas are so deeply […]
Archangel Michael on Personalities and Conflict
In going through my personal readings with Archangel Michael, I sometimes come across his advice on difficult issues, which he discusses often from many angles. On any common endeavor, there can be disagreements, preferred ways of doing things, vasanas, etc. When these arise, we turn to Archangel Michael to counsel us. He puts things in […]
The Difference Between False Grids and Vasanas
We hear many of our Company of Heaven sources discussing the “false grids” that are coming down as we emerge from the deeply-embedded illusions of the old Third Dimension. (1) And I’ve been discussing vasanas at some length, as well. (2) What’s the difference between the two? This is a personal statement of the case. […]
The Process of Breakthrough and the Impediment of Fear
Breakthrough is in the air, thanks to the Mother’s flood of uplifting energy. And I’d therefore like to spend a moment on the process of breakthrough and its chief impediment, fear. I could have said “vasanas and fear” but vasanas (reaction patterns) are fear-based and so it really all boils down to fear. Few of […]
Archangel Michael on Core Vasanas
This week, we respond to Archangel Michael’s own request that we let him speak today on core issues, vasanas. The second part on current events has been posted separately here. AAM: …identify that it is a vasana coming up and simply go quiet. That is the key. Go into your heart, anchor in the heart […]
Tectonic Vasanas, Core Issues and the Constructed Self
I mentioned last week that a friend had had a reading through Linda Dillon and his guide had said that we were all down to core issues. I had a core issue rise for me last week and perhaps I could say a little about what I learned. I called the vasana “tectonic” rather than […]
Three Steps to Ascension?
The Divine Mother: “Enter naked, without the baggage of your old self into this wondrous place of new Earth, true Earth, to my garden of pure joy.” (1) A reader remarked on how letting go seemed all there was to do for Ascension. I agree. Well, almost, perhaps. It’s certainly the biggest contribution we can […]
Grinding Away in the Rut of a Vasana
Have you ever noticed how our lives are a wee bit similar to that of animals who walk endlessly in a circle to turn the mill that grinds the wheat and makes the flour? We grind away at what amounts to our own particular platitude. Or what I prefer to see as our own particular […]
Not One More Time
This isn’t a year, it seems to me, to perpetuate old ways of being. It isn’t a year to continue acting according to standards we know are obsolete. At the same time, it isn’t a year in which we may intimately know what to expect. In fact we may know very little of what’s ahead. […]
Vasanas and Permanent or Stable Enlightenment
In an article (1) that looks at the “upset clearing process” and posits a different model, Christine Hoeflich says the following: “Steve [Beckow] brings up several ways to deal with destructive feelings: 1. By educating ourselves such that we see that we created the dark side, as channeled messages from Matthew, SaLuSa, Hilarion and others […]
Cathy Heath: Liberate Yourself from Destructive Emotions: Become the Objective Observer
I was surprised at how similar Cathy’s process of objective observing to eliminate fear is to the one I call the “upset clearing process.” I suppose many people are being given the same insights, just as the use of the bow and arrow or of the horse appeared on many continents simultaeously. Thanks to Denver. […]
How to Handle Unwanted Feelings: The Upset Clearing Process (Reposted)
In compiling a book on transformative awareness, I came across an old friend – the Upset Clearing Process. It was written in 2011, but I’d still be saying much the same today. The article was written in response to a reader who had asked how one deals with negative feelings. I recommended the Upset Clearing […]
Back, Back, Back
Back in time I go searching for the source of this upset. Back to age 28 and my street-fighting days, subway scuffling, karate sparring. I stay here for a moment but the tug persists – back, back, back – the past keeps tugging me – searching for the source – until I arrive again at […]
