Spiral Mt Shasta (2)

With Others in the Field

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

On Nov 3rd, while the last votes for Election Day were being cast in the United States, a small group of women, men and children built a Spiral on native land on Mt Shasta in California.  They built it for peace and unity throughout the world.  Others around the globe joined in at 12 noon their local time.  Some walked spirals, some sat with trees, lakes, oceans.  Some meditated in their homes.  This can sound like a small event and it was not.  It brought an energy sweeping the planet and saturated the energies rising up in the United States.  The seeds of this event started years ago and accelerated into its crystallization in April 2020 when five participants of a retreat originally scheduled for early April, met in Mt Shasta to keep their date with Creation.  The weather was blustery and cold and their hopes of building a spiral on the mountain faded and then fired up again as a local crystal shop encouraged them to build their crystal spiral there.  The conversations initiated there with the native American owner started as one of mutual support and ended up this last weekend in an offer for the spiral to be built on native land, and the promise of the Native American shaman to be the guardian of the spiral.  That is not all.  In the intervening six months, the spiritual community of Damanhur Italy got involved and sent the group a rope used in creating spirals.  The use of the rope allowed Tantra’s group to create a spiral activated of three fields – Damanhur, Tantra Maat and the Natives of Mt Shasta.

Personally, I was on Mt Shasta for the first five days of the retreat in Mt Shasta in late October.  Then I returned to Colorado.  On Nov 3rd at 12 noon, I was sitting in front of a tree that was activated years ago in the Damanhur tradition.  I merged with Mt Shasta, the Mimzys, the tree, the Spiral and all those who built the spiral.  The waves of energy were intense and moved out across the earth.  I heard stories from people in Japan, Australia, South Africa, Europe and the states who also spoke of the energies experience, of birds and clouds appearing to note the event.

Earth humans were limited eons ago – cut off from their energetic birthright – cut off from a direct relationship with that which created them.  Humanity is now ready to be more of whom they came here to be.  Events like the Spiral build on Mt Shasta are not going to be unique.  We stand together reaching out as part of a field that is a matrix of connection between the humans on earth and dimensional Beings who are reaching out to us.  There is a unity coming which humanity has craved for thousands of years.

I believe in magic now.  I have experienced it.  I believe that humanity can move into its next recursion of wholeness.  The waves of violence and separation sweeping the planet are the last gasps of a reality of separation that is dying.  Hold on to peace and unity in your life.  Focus on moments of resonance.  BE the best person that you are.  Focus on what is life-enhancing and life-generating for you.  Believe in the magic of the power of humanity living in life-enhancing, life-generating ways.  We can do it.  We will do it.  Join hands with others to be with them in the field of unity.

The Winter Solstice and Our Commitment to Our Lives

, , , , , , , , , , 0

by Elektra Porzel

Dec 21st marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.  Both these days mark the time when the sun is shifting its impact on our lives.  Some of us cling to the hope for longer days and some of us let our  bodies and our land be fully heated by the sun as its rays grow our food for the season. 

Now, modern western humans are both connected and not connected physically to the sun as were our ancestors.  We buy our food in the grocery store and don’t know the possibility of food not lasting into late spring.  Yet we are touched by the significance of this time of the year.  I think that this is when our Spirits remember other lifetimes where we lived that tenuous life, where some years our families starved and some years our families thrived. 

Humans have always needed supports to see us thru both the hard times and the good times.  The Creation Exercises are such a tool for hope, for creating the world as we want it to be.  They give us templates to be able to listen to the deepest craving of our Spirit.  They give us templates to be honest and tell ourselves and Creation how we actually are – sad, happy, lonely, joyful.  We gift ourselves when we write the Creation Exercises.  We are our ancestors happily counting their food stores knowing that they have what they need into Spring.  We are our ancestors planning the hunts and plantings that will help our families and communities thrive, it’s just a different kind of hunt and a different kind of planting.

The Institute has been sponsoring the 90 Day Creation Projects since spring of 2017.  Over that time, over 100 people have joined us in committing to themselves to writing the creation exercises on a regular basis so that they can create a better life for themselves, their families and their communities.  Not so different than our ancestors when they committed to hope on the Winter Solstice every year, hope that the sun would increase the length of each day, that it would warm the earth and plants would grow so that their children and their communities could thrive.

Join us in the 90 Day Creation Project that begins on Dec 21st.  Join us in gratitude for all that has occurred in 2018 and in hope for all that can occur for yourselves, for your families and for your communities in 2019.  BE that creative force that directs your future, BE whom you came here to be.  To register, click here. https://sibforms.com/serve/MUIEALt09nTMibMWeaqfcfjoakMfqdLAb7jq7hdJmOd_nDKuImsMdic_uRoyanxb5LzFnuhbsjPtzXK8yBM83ddnpKaLbaOVa24gv29JMJHGOk0fXOGvZynFsfA-zKu5QvF-xla865564Jyyx50vrt8iDTFjnyQUu67LvTx5DmHAU7yGF8GVylTuSbqsip_5GFJbNgOOwMlYRvCw

How Do You Live Gratitude?

, , , , , , 0

by Elektra Porzel

We often don’t know when or how to be grateful for what we have in our lives until it has been taken away.  In August,  in my family, a six week old infant died in his sleep.  Our family had been lucky it seems.  Twenty-one grandchildren grown to maturity and no deaths.  Now each of my children, all my nieces and nephews hold their babies closer and are grateful for their healthy lives.

It always makes sense to be grateful when life goes well.  Gratitude for good health, for good relationships, for all the money that your family needs, for work that you are passionate about!!  Yes!!  Let Creation know that you are pleased with what you have in your life!

What about being grateful for the hard times that taught you how to live your life purposefully differently?  I am talking about those hard times which result from mistakes, accidents, bad judgment, natural disasters.  While hard to live thru, those experiences taught us what we value in our lives and how to make sure that we create the life that we want now and in the future.  Your observings show you the depth of what was lost and your cravings show you what is desired.  Often, for me, it is these hard times that put me on my path more clearly.

So is gratitude a noun or a verb?  I am filled with gratitude or I am grateful.  Recently I wrote several creation exercises on ‘What gratitude is for me’ and ‘what being grateful is for me’.  I found that both of these recursions focused on being grateful for life, for my grandchildren, for plants and for my writing.  It was a good exercise to define for myself what gratitude was for me.  It also reminded me of what gratitude is not for me. 

What are you grateful for regularly?  Or is your gratitude sporadic?  A powerful practice to engage in is to be purposefully grateful every day.  Every day, no matter if it is a so-so day or a great day or a bad day, feel grateful in your heart. Feel the emotion of gratitude.  Feel gratitude for life, for what is right in the world for you, and for what can be in the future.  Gratitude fills your Being with appreciation and love.  It can turn a so-so day into a lovely day.  It can give a rainbow to what you had decided was a cloudy bad day.

In the U.S. in November this year, we vote and we celebrate Thanksgiving Day.  Take a moment every day this month to discover what you are grateful for in your life and what it feels like to be grateful for who you are being.  You value certain kinds of engaging with others in the world. You value certain ways of being you in the world.  Bring those values up front as you vote in early November.  Bring those values up front in your mind and heart as you sit around a table on Thanksgiving Day with family and friends celebrating all that you hold dear in life.  It is in the common gratitude for life, love, friends, that we can stand in the good faith that it is possible to create the life that we want for ourselves and future generations.  It is these commonalities that support us when we stand together in love and gratitude.  Be grateful.  Practice gratitude.

Creation in Universe

A New Way of Communicating with Creation by Sahere Hum

, , , , 0

Language of Creation is just that….  We are learning a new way of communicating with Creation.  It is a language that we are not familiar with, and yet it is a part of our original design.  It is a way of communicating that we once knew and the indigenous people of the land still know.  Our cells still remember, we just have to reawaken that memory.

It’s like the story you may have heard of before about the religious man who knew during a flood that God would save him.  As the water began to rise a friend came by in a truck and said, ‘quick get in my truck.’  He refused saying God would save him.   The water continued to rise so he climbed to the roof of his house.  A boat came by collecting people.  He waved them by, refusing to get in knowing that God would save him.  As the water rose so only the very top of the roof was exposed, a helicopter dropped its ladder telling him to climb up.  Again he told them no, God was going to save him.

After he took his last breath, he wanted to speak to God.  “I prayed to you to save me.  I believed in you and you didn’t save me.”  God answered saying, “I sent a truck, a boat and a helicopter.  Why did you not get in one of them?”

The man had not known or understand how God was talking to him, so he ignored the language.  If he had known the language of God, he could have lived.  So too, we are learning the language of God, or for me it is the Language of Creation.

You may personally hear Creation talking to with words sometimes, yet Creation often speaks to us through thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations or by noticing what has gotten our attention outside of our mental mind.

Template 1, Craving and Template 2, Craving Being along with Observing and Observing Being are teaching you this new language.  It’s teaching you a different way of thinking and being.

For most of us, the only way we may have known how to talk to God is through prayer.  We call out our requests and the only way we know if we are answered is that we got what we asked for or we didn’t get it.  We are not really sure that God heard us so we pray the same prayer over and over again hoping God will hear us and give us what we are asking for.  Maybe we just don’t know the language and God has been talking to us all along and we never knew it.

With time as you do the Creation Exercise, you learn that you really do get answers, you get a response from Creation.  When you get a response, it may not be in the form that you are used to.  Yet we know from Template 1 & 2 Craving – what we truly want may not show up exactly as what we originally craved for and yet we are satisfied and feel fulfilled.  From the observings we start to step outside of the mental mind and its thoughts, and we become aware of what is happening around us, outside of the mind.  We start to step into the language of Creation and how Creation speaks to us.

Writing Template 1 & 2 and then writing the correlate observing, we start to restore our minds back into what they were originally designed to be, we start to restore our connections with our physical bodies, and we are also starting to restore our direct relationship to that which created us.  This is the language we are learning.

As you continue to do the Creation Exercises you are training yourself to listen to something other than the mind chatter saying the same thing over and over again, labeling, fixing, or trying to find a solution. – You’re training yourself to hear words that just pop into your head.  Learning to pause, and listen.  As you do that more and more you can find that you can hear the Mind of Creation.  You start listening from a different place and you start to interact from that place.  Also you start listening to your body as you become aware of resonant markers that let you know when you are in touch with something that is resonant to you.

Your body is becoming more sensitive and can receive how spirit talks to you through body sensations.  Your mind is becoming free and therefore more capable of being imaginative and you start thinking your own thoughts rather than the thoughts you were born into.  You find your connection back into your true essence and you start to realize you are not alone, that you have a relationship with the life force energy that created you, you have begun to restore your direct to that which created you.

Identity and our Consciousness

, , , , , , , 0

Identity is experienced as ‘who I am’ and is defined as our essential character.  However, we know that our identity changes over time.  It changes as we age.  As we experience and live the roles we play in life, the stage of life that we are in, and as how we see ourselves within our religion, our country etc.  Did you know that our identity is often formed by the larger society?  So, for example, the artistic soul can come to devalue their own gifts if born into a physical endurance/excellence society.  Over the last 100 years psychological theories have declared certain conditions being due to someone’s innate weakness not to the trauma they experienced.  Thus, others judged those people, who then judged themselves.  Today, those theories are seen as debunked.  New theories have replaced the old.  Do the new theories help us or hinder us as we seek to identify ‘who we are’?

My essential character is a known and unknown field as far as I am concerned.  I can speak of living my family values; of the truths that I stand on behalf of; of how my actions are in alignment with my words, and of searching for direct alignment with my Being and with Creation/God/Goddess.   I can speak of ‘who I am‘ both concretely and abstractly.  As I grow in my ability to connect to my larger Being, doesn’t my sense of my unique and essential nature, of who I am, change as well?  How do each of us hold these knowings of ‘who we are’ when they are not recognized by our society?  It is my experience that once I deeply grok who I am as my larger Being and as in being in direct alignment with Creation, then it does not matter to me what society thinks about me or judges me.  I act out of who I am. How can we support people as they strive to be the essential character of their Being?  It’s a path that has not been well traveled and many are trying to walk it now.  Let’s share this journey together.

Elektra Porzel and Deborah Merchant are leading a 1.5-hour discussion on this topic on Wed Feb 21, 2018 at 5pmPT.  Deb is completing her PsyD dissertation which emphasizes our shifting consciousness and our identity.
