Once In a Lifetime by Elektra Porzel

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

We have been hearing this phrase ‘once in our lifetime’ more often lately. This event, these climate activities…are so out of our normal experience…they are ‘once in our lifetime’ occurrences.

So, what are these ‘once in a lifetime’ events occurring now? Is it the climate calamities that are regularly occurring…fires, floods, heat waves? Yes. Is it the actions of the present President and his team? Yes. Is it the state of our economy? Yes. Is it the wars now engulfing the USA, Ukraine, and Iran? Yes. Is it the rise of communicable diseases in the US? Yes. Is it the abandonment of our allies? Yes. Is it the abandonment of programs that had served the poorer peoples of the earth with alliances and health support? Yes. Is it the planets moving into a different alignment that portends a different future? Yes.

The next question is ‘why’ we are having all these ‘once in a lifetime’ happenings now? Some are due to the political regime that is presently in charge of the USA. Some are due to the world’s ignoring the climate imbalances over the last 30 years. Some may indeed be a cumulative effect of human beings ignoring their capability to impact the creation of a world that they want to live in. It may be a reckoning in the stars.

What is most important is what are we doing to lessen these ‘once in a lifetime’ occurrences? At the larger level of interactions in the USA, the answer is supporting the courts; contact our representatives to require them to act on our behalf and to vote for candidates who act on behalf of all the people.

On the individual level, it may come down to each of us working to create a world where ‘what is life-enhancing for all’ is established and flourishes. Yes, each of us impacts the whole. We know that this is an interrelated world. Each of us impacts others. Group action impacts the whole. Individual actions impact the interrelationships with others. Our conversations with others build our listening skills which build our capacity to co-create communities that work for all. What is rising occurs while something else is dying. What is dying is the power of billionaires. What is dying is the ignorance of the people about our capacity to change the world into a world where all are cared for.

What is rising? It is our capacity to shift our thinking and our actions into life-enhancing ones. Our brains are malleable and the neuronal structures that connect negative thoughts and words can be weakened by purposefully allowing only life-enhancing positive words to leave our mouths. Let’s start with our own habits and ways of interacting with others. Do you allow yourself to think life-defeating thoughts about yourself or others? What percentage of your thinking, and/or your feelings are negative or life-defeating? Instead, focus on letting life-enhancing thoughts dominate your mind. Put aside the negative, life-defeating thoughts whether that thought is about yourself or about another person or group. How do we do that? My experience is that I just stop every time that I notice that a negative thought leaves my mouth or mind. ‘No, I take that back.’ Do it visually, shrug that assumption off, the belief off literally. Wipe it off your shoulders.

In addition to stopping the negative life-defeating thinking, I find that the most effective action is to create language/ a picture of what I do want in my life and in how I want to live my life. We all have used intentions and vision boards. I find the Creation Exercises from the Language of Creation are the most powerful tools that I use to design the life that I crave to exist for myself and for others. Check out www.loc-institute.com to learn more about the Templates of the Language of Creation and how to write your Creation Exercise about what you crave and what you crave being.

What do you want to be different about your relationships? Do you want to talk more with family or friends? Then ask them to talk with you whether it is over a meal, or instead of watching TV or their phones. Go for a walk with them and talk as you walk. Do you want to do activities with them? Then ask them what they want to do and create an activity that you both want to do.

Focus on being an active part of creating communities that serve all our residents. Volunteer…somewhere for some effort that helps others …the schools, scouts, neighborhood cleanup, food banks. Working with others to care for others brings us viscerally closer to experiencing others as more like us than different from us.

Ever smile at someone and see them light up? Ever stop to help someone who dropped something? Reaching out to others takes a small effort on our part and creates stronger bonds of connection with others.

Focus on having conversations with others where you deeply listen to their experience and viewpoints. Then allow them to hear your experiences and viewpoints. In the exchange you will probably find common ground. That common ground will build future willingness to co-create structures and systems that serve all.

Can each of us lessen our life-defeating impact on ourselves, our families, and our communities? Yes! Can each of us can build more life-enhancing thinking, acting and being in our lives? Yes!

How many more ‘once in a lifetime’ events can we take in this lifetime? When do we wiggle out of our chairs and start standing for something instead of bemoaning the state of things? It’s time to let our old habits fall away and actively engage with ourselves and our fellow community members. Let’s make the new persona that we choose to live to be the more of this lifetime not a one time event!!!

For Love with Horse by Claudia Jones

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

My relationship with Horse has existed both in their physical presence and on a deep energetic level. On my desk is a photograph of me at four years old, sitting on the back of a horse for the first time. The smile on my face says a thousand things. So does my hand placed on the horse’s withers in an irresistible urge to complete the contact. Pure joy! That photograph captures the beginning of what would become a lifelong journey with Horse for me.

To shed a bit more light on the beginnings of my relationship with Horse, a story: when I was little there was a piece of property in our neighborhood that we called The Pony Pasture. A man kept about a dozen ponies there and my best friend and I had free access to any of them. How that was arranged I have no recall except that it was surely part of the magic of Horse for me. I chose a black and white Pinto Pony and named him Apache. I loved him dearly. Having no formal training or anything but a child’s trust and athletic ability, Apache agreed to give himself to me in partnership. We covered entire landscapes together without boundaries. With him, I not only became an adept rider, but experienced a shared field of being together in trust, willingness, and a mutual yes. This is one of the profound beauties of Horse. Their energetic field meets us where we are and allows us to grow in ways we never expected. Apache and I were partners for a few wonderful years.

It was in third/fourth grade that my sister and I got our first horse, Cricket. Cricket was probably one of the biggest and most profound teachers I’ve ever had. I am still learning from her. She gave more than any creature should be expected to give and I firmly believe she saw me more clearly than I saw myself. In fact, I am just now realizing that as of this writing. What a perfect example of how Horse’s intelligence invites, even prods, us to live in greater congruence with ourselves.

In the months ahead, as we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, I stand not as an expert about Horse, but as an access point to Horse frequency. I will lead a monthly series on Horse: It’s Gifts and its Challenges that starts on Saturday Feb 21st at 8amPT. My role in this discussion is not to teach or prescribe meanings, but to open a space of inquiry – one that allows participants to listen, feel, and notice what Horse stirs within their own lives.

For me, Horse has always been a doorway—into freedom, into presence, and into a deeper relationship with life itself. I was born in the Year of the Horse, and this moment feels like a natural threshold. The upcoming conversation is an offering from within that field. If something in you stirs as you read this, Horse may already be speaking to you.

Bringing Love and Hope into the Conversation by Elektra Porzel

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

Humans have traditionally found ways to remind themselves and their communities that love and hope exist in these dark times.  In our ancestors’ time, that meant that it was cold and dark and maybe the food supply was limited.  They lived in small communities or tribes.  So when the Winter Solstice arrived, they celebrated the return of longer days which meant the days of abundance of new life were coming.  Each culture had their own rituals and traditions and they all included feasting together in community.  In Europe they blest their homes with Yule logs.  They exchanged gifts.  They hoped for a time of food abundance.  They burnt fires and candles to chase away the dark.

We think that we are in dark times now and we are.  In the United States,  we have leadership that flaunts the rule of law and the constitution.  Many fear not just the degraded government of the United States but more personally they fear that they won’t have enough money to pay for food or for health care.  We see others as ‘the other’, separate from us.  Race, religion, politics divide us.

I suggest that we copy our ancestors’ traditions and re-institute rituals of love and hope such as they had.  Feed others so that the least of us are cared for.  Purposely share meals with others focusing on loving them as they are, not what you fear that they think or act as.  In love, bless your  home.  Clean it in preparation for the Winter Solstice. Care for the larger community around you…cleaning up trash, assisting the elders in getting around, in the spring plant flowers.

The Winter Solstice marks the beginning of the return of the sun.  It’s celebrated on Dec. 21st this year.  Give yourself some stillness time to renew your love of Self.  Write some Creation Exercises and Observing Exercises.  Be present to what is occurring within and around yourself.  Be with others in community…visit a community event, light show or festival.  Look for the moments of unity, of shared love and hope.

As we experience longer days, we will also know the inevitability of coming spring and change.  Our earth is recognizing  these shifts. Join her in love and hope and see how much practicing being love and hope increases your experience of coherence as part of your daily thinking and being. These practices can change our inner frequencies into attractors of life-enhancing energies and that will make all the difference in our mutual efforts to create a better world for all.

Stop the Merry-go-Round! I Want to Get Off! By Elizabeth Geyer

, , , , , , , 0

 

Dizzying…the world is spinning so fast right now!  How are you all?  I find it amazing that many of us are actually handling this pace and frenetic activity pretty well.  There are physical manifestations that aren’t so great, yet…there are also moments of bliss woven into each and every day.

I am sitting here in my friend’s Denver kitchen, looking out at the beautiful Fall foliage and feel grateful…oh so grateful.  In a world fraught with pain, there is still such beauty.  What is Our focus right now?  Can we focus upon these incredibly colorful falling leaves?  Being with this activity for even a few minutes can lower our blood pressure exponentially!  Discovering these new focus activities and having them innately ‘float’ in throughout these insanely active days has been so comforting.  For days, I was begging to get off the Merry-Go-Round of Life.  I had forgotten that I had the power to place my foot on the ground to stop it myself.  Oops!  Well…I am so glad I realized that I had the will to put my foot down. 

 Back to discovering ‘beauty focus’ activities.  The market was busy yesterday…lots of people in the store shopping, rather frenetically.  I stopped and looked at some magazines around the Fall Harvest.  My body took a deep breath and loved the focus point for the moment.  The photos of comfort foods were beautiful.  All of a sudden, I didn’t hear the hustle and bustle anymore.  I felt myself float into the photos, being with the sensory images of cooking and tasting delicious food.  Then…all was right again.  The noise of humanity irritation left!

Both of my nieces, who are not creatively oriented to writing or color bought coloring books, and use this activity as a beauty focus activity.  I was so proud of them making this choice!  What might be one such activity for you, to re-center yourself when you realize the world is too loud right now, and you need to still the spin?  

Let’s make a list!  I love lists!  Here we go…these are off the top of my head:

**Get up from what I am doing and go to another room in the house.

**Find an object where I find myself attracted, to concentrate on what is colorful, might bring in a good memory, maybe has a scent (or not) to focus upon.

**Get up and find some small thing to clean or re-organize that takes only a few minutes.

**Heat up some water and drink in the comfort.

**Look at a photo that makes you happy.

**Doodle on a piece of paper…even drawing lines every which way.

**Get out your calendar and pick a date and time to gift yourself even an hour doing something you love (This is what got me off the merry-go-round this time).  I am certain there are more that can be conjured…this is just to help you think of your own.

Beauty is everywhere!  Placing it in our lives daily is a great way to create a new ‘focus’ habit!  At the beginning of October, I began the practice of focusing upon gratitude each day by writing to a very short prompt about what I am grateful for.  At that time, I was feeling sad for our world.  Throughout this month I realize that this practice really works.  I love being with this new habit most evenings.  I have the chance to decorate the page I am working on, then write for only about five minutes.  That’s all I need…is just five minutes!  Feeling this gratitude just before bed helps me wake the next morning with a happier state of being.

What new ‘focus habit’ might you try?  Beauty, gratitude, Nature, science, flowers, animals…what might your focus points be?  These are but a few ways to just step off that spinning disc for even a few minutes.  Those few minutes could shift your Life perspective so quickly, and those few minutes can make all of the difference in these times!

Seeking Balance in our Lives

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

What is balance in our lives? Is it the balance of exercise vs sitting for hours? Is it time spent with family vs time spent at work? Is it time for self vs time for others? Time for children, community, church being limited by work or exhaustion?

Over my lifetime, I have dealt with all these surges to rebalance my life for my health, for my children, my church, and my community. These times of reestablishing new practices to bring balance into my life lasted for several years or sometimes just months. My health has suffered. My kids felt alone. Over time church commitments overran my time with the kids. I was always in the efforting to rebalance my life’s activities with my larger concern of always caring for the well-being of my children. I didn’t always get it right. My children, as adults with children of their own, are stuck in the same routine of balancing work and raising children. They have modified my practices and started some of their own. It’s heartening to see that they have found different ways to protect and nurture their children and their own passions. How are you doing in these efforts?

It’s hard to sustain and maintain these balances when work demands us to be available 24-7. Forty years ago, you could ‘get out of cell/phone range’. That was a sufficient excuse to be somewhere where you weren’t beleaguered with the demands of work. There was no great power of social media. In our family it was an escape to our West Virgina home. When the internet became available all over our rural communities, the educational support was lauded while even these rural enclaves lost some of their capacity for balance in their lives and we, as weekend visitors, lost our excuse for not being available for work contact.

How do the children of today find balance in their lives? If they are infected at every moment of the day with social media, when do they get to breathe free of the incessant pressure to respond. Where are children free to be themselves and enjoy moments of peace staring at the sky. In my parents’ youth in the 1920s and 30s, they were free to run, play in their rural homes or city streets. In my youth in the 50s and 60s, we were encouraged to be outside playing all day. In my children’s youth in the 70’s, 80s and 90s, there were more latchkey kids which meant they were more alone and vulnerable and TV babysat them. In the 2000’s our children are more and more absorbed by television and the social media/game world. Giving children access to their own phones and laptops is now decreasing with parents trying to return their children to free play with friends outside of technology. How do we teach our children to find balance in their lives as we each as adults in our various stages of life, still seek to find balance in our inner and outer worlds?

Most of the modern world has moved leagues beyond our indigenous roots where connection to and listening to the earth, nature, winds, animals is part of the balance they live. Their work to survive and thrive depends on those connections and those moments of deep listening. They are in a deep respect for the land and the waters, so their rituals and practices convey that respect. Most modern people don’t listen deeply to any of nature whether the tree is in their yard or the stream is behind their homes or in their parks. What is missing in our modern lives when we don’t communicate and honor the nature that exists around us? We are part of nature , not separate. I find messages often become obvious when I deliberately observe and pay attention. I believe that this non-observing/non-listening is causing something to be deeply missing from our modern world. I believe that it is this deeply listening to nature – be it the trees, the birds, the animals, the winds, the waters and the clouds. What do they tell us? Is it advice or warning? I have heard both.

There is also communication offered through our higher dimensional forces that we don’t listen to. It’s time for all this non-listening to stop. We need to open up our hearts, our minds and our souls to listen deeply again. We need quiet time for this listening. We need to be quiet internally and physically. This requires that we hold the intention to listen more deeply to nature and the higher dimensional powers and forces which some people call God, Goddess, Great Spirit, Creation, Source, your Guides or higher Teachers.

Often indigenous wisdom is offered to us through books. Several years ago, Yunkaporta’s ‘SandTalk’ was especially poignant in this attempt to offer the practices and perspectives of the indigenous peoples of Australia. Today the wisdom of the Kogi people of the Sierra Nevadas in South America is offered to us through the book, ‘A Book of Balance’, by Lucas Buchholz. The LOC Institute is offering a discussion of this book on the third Saturday of the month starting on October 18th. We hope that their wisdom practices will help us in the re-creation of peace, connection and deeper listening in our lives. Join us for this 60–90-minute discussion once a month. Let’s talk about our lives together and in the multiple ways that we can bring more balance into our lives.

Bill of Rights

What are Our Rights and Responsibilities by Elektra Porzel

, , , , , , , , 0

In these difficult times, we each wonder how do we stand against the dismantling of the independence of our government agencies, our media, our cultural art institutions?  How do we stand up for all that we have valued as a citizen of the United States?  How do we make clear that retribution and violence is not the way we want our government to stand for?  We can picket, march with others, make calls to our Representatives and Senators.  We can write Creation Exercises.  We each must find a way to stand for what we value in government.  

The 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is in 2026. How are its phrases being lived in today’s government?  

What we didn’t expect was that all our complaints about King George would be lived in the actions of Trump. 

What are you going to do to make sure that the initial values of the United States are being lived today in our government and in our actions?  Read the Declaration of Independence in entirety.  Not just the thrilling first paragraphs but also the list of complaints that were made against King George.  What is occurring today that was condemned then?

In the Institute we have been unpacking the Declaration of Independence for a past few months.  You could do the same so as to anchor those phrases in your heart and soul.  

Starting in October, we will start unpacking each of the 15 Amendments of the Bill of Rights.  Join us in writing together and individually as we discuss and recommit to these Rights – ones that our fathers, and grandfathers fought to protect and that our immigrant ancestors committed to live here in the United states.

Indeed, We are not just the descendants of our ancestors, we are the saviors of our descendants, and the earth. It falls to us to take a stand for future generations, for the earth and for all the Beings that call this planet home.

Do you believe in the power of the greater whole of humanity when we act as one?  Do you believe that ‘we the people’ means this nation includes in its care everyone: those who have few financial resources, those who have differing physical and mental capabilities; those who just arrived on our shores; those of different races and those of different gender orientations, those who are young and old? 

How will choose to act in these times?  How will each of us stand for the best of our country?  Make your choice and act.

We are One

By Elektra Porzel

We are the saviors of our descendants, and the earth. It falls to us to take a stand for future generations, for the earth and for all the Beings that call this planet home.

251 years ago, our ancestors collaborated in a ‘we’ statement.  They chose to act on the concept that together we could accomplish more for the people living on this continent at that time and for the future.  There was an ‘us’ that could provide the highest good for all our people rather than depending on another to give us what we desired and deserved.

Today we are faced with the same choice.  Do we believe in the power of the greater whole of humanity when we act as one?  Do we believe that ‘we the people’ means this nation includes in its care everyone: those who have few financial resources; those who have differing physical and mental capabilities; those who just arrived on our shores; those of different races and those of different gender orientations; those who are young and old?

Only if we act as one, can we create the future our ancestors dreamed of and fought for.

The USA has stood for certain values that made the rest of the world take notice. Yet, this nation have not always acted on our core values.  There are many times that this nation used our power to subjugate others.  Today we the people can take a stand again for what we believe to be right for all people.  Our nation is far behind in ensuring universal health care, universal education or even a living income for all our people.  Let’s stand for the rights of all over the rights of the few.  We don’t have a king to fight, and we have the same complaints that are listed in the Declaration of Independence.

He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
          He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
          He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the Tenure of their Offices,

He has erected a Multitude of new Offices,

He has protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
          For cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World:
  For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury:
          For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.

I believe that this is going to mean changes in our national conversation into a ‘we’ perspective.  This means many changes in how we act and what we give and require of all our citizens.

We are One.  Let’s act on the power of this viewpoint.  We are the saviors that we have been praying for.  We can create a new nation established on ‘we’ rights and responsibilities.  Start where you can:  Write your Creation Exercises on your deepest craving for this nation; act with others locally for the care and protection of all people; vote for those who speak and act from this ‘we’ perspective. Join this national ‘we’ conversation. Start this ‘we/us’ conversation with your friends, your neighbors.

We are the ones that we have been praying for. It is time to take a stand for rights of future generations for certain

“unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

 

 

Declaration of Independence

Weaving our Voices into our Nation’s Future by Elektra Porzel

Weaving our Voices into Our Nation’s Future

In the movie 1776, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston discuss who shall write the first draft of the Declaration of Independence.  ‘You are the man to do it” was the repetitive phrase they used and, as we know, Thomas Jefferson was chosen.  He was the man to do it – his language inspired those delegates and this nation to be our best Selves in forming a new nation.  We all have been touched and empowered by the phrases in the second paragraph.  These phrases ring in our hearts as we identify them with our democracy, with what our country stands for.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly, all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.

In these present circumstances in the USA, I believe that it is deeply important that we rematrix these phrases as our own.  That we own these phrases as foundational to our nation’s future. This rematrixing will enliven this document into a higher frequency for not only ourselves, but also for the nation.

Starting on May 29th, a group of writers will join together to unpack each of the underlined phrases with a Template 3.  In our biweekly calls, we will also unpack the complaints listed in this documents.  They are familiar to us as they are also our complaints currently.

He has endeavored to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and raising the Conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
          He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
For cutting off our Trade with all Parts of the World:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone,

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

Sound familiar?

We meet at 9amPT for 60 – 90 minutes to share what is rising for each of us as we write our Template 3 Creation Exercises and our Observing Exercises.

I believe that we the People are the source of the new United States of America.  We begin to establish the vibrational states of the new nation with our Creation Exercises.  It is the people choosing what is important to them that will reform our nation’s soul.

Join us on Thursday May 29th at 9amPT to take your stand establishing the dimensional vitality of our new nation rising. Only $33.  Register here.  https://www.loc-institute.com/product/unpacking-phrases-from-the-declaration-of-independence/

 

Hands clasping with words

Practicing ‘one with another in the field’ by Elektra Porzel

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

Practicing ‘One with Another in the Field’

One of the phrases that I have heard for years in the Field of Tantra Maat is the phrase “One with Another in the Field”.  This has been used in the Language of Consciousness Institute to emphasize how matrices arise in each group and that those matrices support everyone in the group both in their individual writing and in the group’s impact with each other on the calls.

There is value given and received in each group by each of its members.  The amount of that given and received is determined by the member.  One aspect is the energy gift that they receive when they are part of a group call.  When we share, we add energy in the matrix.  When we appreciate others for their contributions, we add energy in the matrix.  When we pay attention to others outside of the call, we add energy to the matrix.  When we write our Creation Exercises, we add energy to the matrix. When we post on Tapatalk, we add energy to the matrix

Visualize each of these matrices as lines with energy running back and forth.  When you share you contribute to the level of energy running in the matrix.  When you tell another that you appreciate their sharing/writing you contribute to the energy in the matrix.  When you post in Tapatalk, you add to the potency of the field.

The vibrancy and potency of these groups is sustained and maintained and expanded by the participation levels of members both inside and outside of the class time: Writing your Creation Exercises; reading materials; posting on Tapatalk and connecting with others are all contributions to the energy of the matrix.

Have you ever said, “I am just a …”  The phrase ‘just a’ is limited thinking, probably arising from some historic thoughts that go against life.  Read the phrases below.  Ask yourself if they feed you life-generating energy or life defeating energy.

  • I don’t want to share;
  • Others will judge me for what I say;
  • I think the same thing that was already shared, so I won’t share;
  • I shouldn’t be here because I didn’t do all the homework;
  • I am not as wise/smart/able as others;
  • I am not as good as sharing/writing that others are;
  • I really don’t have anything to add to the group;
  • I am not so valuable to the group;
  • My input isn’t really needed.

There is also self-talk about the others:

  • They are better than me at getting the assignment done;
  • someone has already said what I am thinking;
  • They are so much better at speaking and sharing;
  • I didn’t come up with the same answer, so I won’t talk.

All of the above self-talk is not you talking, it is historical thoughts from your past that operate against life.  If we want our groups to act in the ethers as agents for wholeness that support life, and as agents for building unity consciousness for all beings on earth, then it is time to stop all these limiting self-talk phrases and start speaking to ourselves in life-enhancing phrases.  It’s time to consciously contribute to the groups that we belong to.

Do you think that these long-term groups like the Spirals, the Magicians, the Guardians can maintain and grow their power if members practice the negative self-talk above?  Each of these longer-term groups have raised a flag in the ethers saying they can get the job done.  If a member says “I am not up to giving or receiving’, then how strong can these longer-term groups be?

Can we practice being one with another in the field in FOTM, Guardians, Magicians?  We can, if we want them to be strong enough to succeed in their larger purpose.

‘One with another in the field’ is a powerful phrase.  It encompasses our capacity to be with others in the moment and to build the power of the field to make changes in the energetic matrices of this planet.  So, join in the conversations, contact others outside of class, give your energetic signature to these matrices that we are part of.

We are in critical energetic times.  We each must contribute both inside class as well as outside of class.  We are the agents of change that will anchor the ethers of paradise here on earth.

A field of people gathered in January and February to paint a new canvas of Self!  What has risen as a result?  These phrases below were the ones that popped out from unpacking the first recursion of  Craving what 2023 is for me.  There is so much afoot now, and these phrases are evident in my life, and all over the planet in various forms.  

  •  a flow of congruent language that is excited nourishment
  • finding common grounding of Self with others
  • everything being newly forged 
  •  potency in collective energies 
  •  a lifetimes project of deep longing 
  • poking this curious mind and heart where She has not dared to go before.  
  •  emboldened steps to Being with Creation as explorer
  • honoring the new music of life’s light
  • a matrix unique to each cell, organ, tissue, the All of each of Us
  • increasing the energetic power of each and every-one who is listening for the beauty of these nuances of shift
  • a warm, loving space to BE with one another in this rich, all encompassing field of Being, dreaming, action and joy!

I remember back to the beginning of January when I wasn’t certain at all about unpacking.  I just knew I had to do it!  What evidence has shown itself to further unpack, or what has shown up as a result of unpacking that I can see in my own life?  So much!  There have been many moments of beauty, intensity, unworkability, play, creativity, joy, sadness.

One story that pops up from reading the phrases that have pinged me, is that of the health journey I began in January that I am unpacking.  “Poking this curious mind and heart where She has not dared to go before” is what raised my attention.  I have poked into many places to finally begin to take really good care of my body and how I fuel her and exercise her.  I have not dared to exercise like this in over 20 years!  I have not dared to really look into how much it matters when I prepare meals lovingly.  I have not dared to connect with people around health and have a health journey group before.  So much has been unpacked here because I am unpacking Self this year!  I have not dared to reflect on the stories I tell myself that in the past, sabotaged my journey.  The latest story is how I have to have a half banana and ¼ cup nuts before I work out.  This week I learned that I was afraid, and told a story that said I need these foods.  Nope…not true.  Some days it might be true.  Other days, no.  My body asked me to check in on a workout by workout basis from now on.  Duh!  Oh…this unpacking is such a cool process!

Another phrase that pinged me is “a flow of congruent language that is excited nourishment”.  In The Field of Tantra Maat, there are phrases that we use that I am beginning to hear outside the field.  One phrase is ‘building new neural pathways.’  I wanted to kiss my swim instructor yesterday, because she gave us  exercises to do in the pool that make us feel so geeky, and they exercise the brain in doing them!  I am also hearing other phrases more commonly spoken out in more public spaces.  Some of you, I am certain, have been finding commonalities also.  Isn’t it amazing how unpacking is rippling out in ways we didn’t have a clue that it would?

Are you noticing that when you are with others doing any body of work, that you seem more capable?  This is such a delight!  It is as though the universe just purchased a lot of new mirrors and now we are all reflecting off of each other!  Let us let these thoughts steep, as they fuel the fires of unpacking more deeply!
