What is Metamorphosis:

Metamorphosis is a profound change in form from one state to the next in the life history of an organism, as from the caterpillar to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly. In humans we are not changing our outward form so much as our internal and external energetic functioning. We have access to the consciousness of other dimensions, and we can bring that consciousness into this reality, this dimension, and include it in the metaphoric field humanity lives in.

How do we experience this?

Probably differently than we might have thought it would be. We have no history with this kind of shift just as the caterpillar doesn’t know that it will become a butterfly. What some of us have experienced is: sometimes there is physical pain, discomfort; sometimes there is emotional crazy making such as feelings of abandonment, blame, feeling skinless and fragile. Then there is the experience on the other side. A feeling of being held by our Source, aha’s, openness to more, freedom from old compressing habits or thought patterns.

“Awakening is a biological event”. Tantra Maat

We are awakening to our new form which isn’t just physical even though the body does get to release areas of congestion and contraction. Sometimes the body unfolds as well into something healthier. Somehow, we must surrender back into being in an operational system that we haven’t been consciously aware of before…the reality of unity.

Human beings have an original design that we remember in some part of our consciousness or all these efforts over the last five thousand years would not have been attempted. Somewhere inside of us is the craving to return to the state and functioning of our original design.

For the recorded history that we have access to, humans have been seeking to comprehend [to become present to] how our Flesh and our Spirit work together to create an optimal state of balance in our expansion [all ways moving into the next greater whole] of our physical and nonphysical health.

In the past, mental perception was not as recognized as it has become in the last centuries of human awakening. Now, not only are we seeking to restore [open up into] our place in the Universe and our unity with Earth, but we are also seeking to comprehend [mentally perceive] the language of creation that allows this.

Why do we seek a balance in our physical and nonphysical systems? What drives us in this search?

The memory of our original design is in our brains (head and gut) and in our bodies. It lives in our yearning for the strength, stamina, and capacity for wholeness that we sense [our sentient intelligence] that we must have carried as our norm at one time. This state of our original design existed somewhere before we became separated from our connections with Creation, with our larger Beingness, from our connections with nature, and our connections with each other.

If you view the toroidal accordion, you see that there is a constant flow of movement within the accordion. Imagine the flow moves from above to below. What would it be like if we were consciously conscious of beginning in the infinite, in energy, in spirit, in the sacred, in the alchemical and aware of the flow moving through us into our secular finite human life, our matter, and our biochemical flesh. Ideally, we would move naturally in the same way that this accordion does. This is why we are exploring the body. It is a partner with our Spirit which together they are the original nature of our original design.

Optimally, our body is designed to have access to the ‘so above/so below’ flow. Many of us have this craving to return our bodies to their original design today. Imagine what it would be like to be able to be in the flow of the accordion with ease. What would your life be like if you lived primarily within the midpoint [the center of the accordion] of balance of matter and energy, finite and infinite, biochemical, and alchemical, flesh and spirit? How would you experience life if your living was a balance point that moved you easily into higher spiritual energies?

How do the Templates of the Language of Creation support us through this metamorphosis?

In the Creation Exercises of the Language of Creation, we write out our cravings for a life full of life-enhancing and life-generating things, states, events etc. As we write those Creation Exercises, we access this ‘so above/so below’ flow. Our bodies access this ‘so above/so below’ flow and inform us what is life-enhancing or life-depleting through our Sentient Registers. Sentient Registers arise from our Solar Plexus (also known as our Gut Brain) which generates our Cravings. Our Observing Creation Exercises are generated out of the capacities of our third eye as the body accesses the ‘so above/so below’ flow. In this image of the Vitruvian Man, we can see how the energy of our Cravings and Observings move out into our life and the world around us. The body’s access to the ‘so above/so below’ flow allows us to change how we live our lives.

The Creation Templates are designed to activate the metapoints of your physical body and your non-physical being, your Spirit. The Craving Templates interact with your Glial-Neuronal networks and expand both the content of the glial cells and the intersections of the neurons with other glial cells. These networks can elicit both reaction and response based on the content of your glial cells – is that information life-enhancing or life-defeating…is that information historic or something that you are present to? Your Creation Exercises give you more diversified glial-neuronal networks that dominate in what is life-enhancing, life-generating for you. Your Creation Exercises give you more choices in how you be in the world.

This reality of unity was once humanity’s regular reality. Something occurred where we were separated from our unity with each other with and with our Source, Creation. Create a place for your larger Self, your meta-Self to be here. To create a sense of balance, to reset yourself when confused or feeling destabilized, just ask your meta-Self, “Am I good to go today?” We have to re-stabilize in time; we must have actions to take in time.

The Observing and Observing being templates are used wonderfully anytime. If you are in an emotional state that you can’t stop the chattering, the life-defeating emotions, or looping thoughts, then that is the time to write your observing or Observing being exercises. Think them in your mind if you are out, write them when you have pen or paper. Write them until the looping or the life-depleting energies subside. New phrases for your Craving or Craving being Creation Exercises often arise out of writing an Observing or Observing being Exercise. They are your pupa stage.

Write your Creation Exercises and your Observing Exercises often. Post in Tapatalk just as you would have brought a gift to a temple in lifetimes past. Within Tapatalk, the power of your Creation Exercise grows as you metamorphosize into the beautiful being that you are.

Use the Templates to Create the Life that You Crave

We all have dreams of how we want to be in our life; of what we want to do, and of what we want to have in our lives. For most of our lives, we have been given a lot of advice from family, friends, our community, and social media about how we ‘should’ be in the world, what we ‘should’ do and what we ‘should’ have. This ‘advice’ often doesn’t really align with our inner sense of whom we came here to be or to do.

We end up frustrated that we aren’t doing or being as we think or feel that we should. Or we feel we aren’t being the person that we feel inside. This can happen when we first leave high school or college and must choose a career and later in our 30s, 40s and 50s when we ask ‘is this all there is?’

What intelligence are you listening to that tells you that your life is not working as it ‘should’? Admittedly it could be your historic mind repeating all the ‘shoulds’ that you heard as you grew up. That intelligence could also be your own inner voice that tells you that the work that you are doing just isn’t what you really want to be doing. Or you find that you are searching for an inner spiritual journey that isn’t present in your life. That intelligence is what we call our sentient intelligence. It is your body and spirit speaking through some kind of physical or emotional sensation or experience. Such as butterflies in your stomach, energies running through you, a gut sense that something is wrong or a gut sense that this ‘thing’ is mine to do, and much more.

When I was in my 30’s I got that gut sense that there was more to life and for me. It directed my attention to spiritual paths…meditation, chi kung, Native American spirituality and more. Each of these searches ended up giving me a piece of the puzzle of what I was searching for, but nothing was fully ‘it’.

In my 60’s I discovered Tantra Maat and the Templates of the Language of Creation. I realized that she had access to something that I didn’t have access to. When I learned to write the Templates, I discovered a clear path to accessing my deepest wisdom and manifesting the life that I craved.

The Templates of the Language of Creation consist of 9 Templates that lead us through 7 levels of consciousness. Each Template is constructed to help us access our deepest wisdom and thus clearly access our connection to our Spirit and to our Source, Creation, God, Goddess. Their structure requires that we write what is life-enhancing, life-generating for us and thus we end up describing our craved future in a specificity that we wouldn’t have otherwise. They expand our glial-neural networks in our brains which gives us more opportunities to choose our responses to life. We give ourselves a choice about how we want to be with ourselves and others, what we want to do in our life and ultimately what we have.

A critical piece of life is to be able to become the Observer. It is in the role of the Observer that we shift our perspective about a situation, we discover new possibilities and thus can act differently creating new outcomes in our life. The Observing and Observing being Templates give us this new perspective. Used with a Craving exercise, they act as a GPS for us as we claim both our craved future and our present circumstances. Our Creation Exercises support us in creating lives that are life-enhancing and life-generating.

“Observing is being fully present to what you are present to, opening up into what there is to open up into and having what is yours to have.” Tantra Maat

The mentors of the Language of Consciousness Institute have been looking at how to best support you in learning to write and use the Templates in your life. We realized that a critical part of writing your Creation Exercises is learning to recognize how your Sentient Intelligence registers talk to you. You will learn to recognize your own unique communication with your Spirt and your body. It is through paying attention to your Sentient Intelligence that you come to a deep understanding of how your Body and Spirit are on your side, helping you claim what is your unique and essential gifts to the world.

What is Sentient Intelligence and what are its registers?

Sentience is defined as “sentient condition or character; capacity for sensation or feeling.” Dictionary.com expands upon sentience as being sentient as “having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.”

The Language of Consciousness Institute defines Sentient Intelligence as:

The resonant language of creation that bonds all that exists into one cohesive whole. This is the intelligence when picked up on allows all of life to be a sensual, engaging, vital, and connected experience. Experienced as sensations, sensitivity, emotions, or energies running through you, imagination, words popping into your head. It is an internal communication system.

This Sentient Intelligence is a language or communication system from your body and spirit to your mind. It sends language in chemical signals that you perceive in a sensory way. These are your sentient registers. Just as your body tells you when you are hot/cold, it also informs you about different energetic or emotional states such as butterflies in your stomach, being fearful, calm, worried, excited, etc. Exploring how your body communicates with you is the beginning of being consciously conscious of your body’s Sentient Intelligence.

Engaging with your Observings in a consciously conscious way, you experience how sensations, sensitivities, and imaginings thread together to deepen the felt experience and increase your capacity to track the full experience of your system – body, mind, and spirit. Victoria McMahon

To support you in learning how to write and use the Templates 1 and 2 as well as the Observing and Observing being Templates, we have created two new self-paced programs. These programs include reading materials, videos, mentoring and writing. We have included individual and group mentoring calls because it is important that you have someone to go to with your challenges and your questions. The structure of the Templates often challenges how our brains are organized and talking with a mentor will help you continue to be in the process of awakening to your sentient intelligence and to the wisdom of your Spirit and Creation. You will have to purchase the book, The Language of Creation by Tantra Maat which is available on Amazon. Otherwise, all the written materials, the videos, and the mentoring sessions are included in the purchase price. Hope to be with you in these programs.

Coming Home by Elektra Porzel

creation Awakening, connection, consciousness, Creation, Creation Templates, Elektra Porzel, Emotions, Language of Creation, Life-enhancing, Life-generating, Mind, Mind of Creation, Neural networks, Observing, Reality, Resonance, sentient intelligence, Spirit, Tantra Maat coming home, creation exercises, home, Language of Consciousness, language of creation, templates 0

What is home to you?

For some of us, the word ‘home’ carries the societal ideal of a two-parent family and a wanting to return to this early safe place, or an imaginary home fulfilling all that we think home should be. For others, the word ‘home’ may hold trauma, fear even anger and needing to get away. Your home could have been safe, or it could have been a dangerous place for a child to navigate.

Let’s look at what you hold for ‘home’ to be. What comes up in your mind or your emotions when you think/say the word ‘home’?

Is ‘home’ a physical place? Or is it a way that you feel about the idea of home? Or does the feeling of home arise when you are in a different place? When I think of home, I think of my childhood homes (Los Alamos NM, Chicago IL, Falls Church VA, we moved for Dad’s jobs). I also think of the homes where I raised my children in Virginia. Along with the physical location of our homes, we have sentient registers for what ‘feels like’ home, even if you have never been to a location before. Maybe it’s even in another city or country. In my travels, I experienced places in Peru that felt like home, like I lived there before. I have had friends who mentioned this phenomenon when visiting cities in Europe. Have you experienced other places that ‘feel’ like home?

So, what does ‘home’ or ‘being home’ mean to you? What arises in your memory, your emotions, your imagination?

What do you crave the word/concept ‘home’ to mean for you?

The easiest way to get to the description of what you want ‘home’ to be (not the negative that you may have experienced and probably an expansion of the positive that you have experienced) is to write your Creation Exercises using Template 3 and 4. Template 3 ‘Craving what home is for me is’ or Template 4 ‘Craving what being home is for me is being’ are phrases that you could use. Remember you write only life-enhancing or life-generating phrases, so any of those negative or life-defeating thoughts aren’t a part of your Creation Exercises and therefore not part of what ‘home’ will be for you in the future. In writing your Creation Exercises using Template 3 or 4, you are defining the word home differently so that any time in the future when you hear or think the word home, these life-enhancing phrases dominant in your glial neural networks. These new phrases are then part of what appears in your mind and your emotions when you hear the word ‘home’ and thus support you in choosing a response that is resonant for you.

For individuals looking for their next best earth-based home, writing these Creation Exercises will help you choose not just how that home will feel for you but also where the next location for your home is for you. So, you might write, ‘Craving what my next best location for my home is for me is’ or ‘Craving what my next best home is for me is’. For individuals who want to describe their Spirit’s home of origin in the Universe, these Creation Exercise will support you in connecting to that dimensional home. You might write ‘Craving what my Spirit’s home of origin is for me is’.

What does the phrase ‘coming home’ mean to you?

When I was in my late 20s that phrase ‘coming home’ generated in both my mother and myself, a reversal back to our roles when I left home to marry. I found it both confusing, and discomforting as I was an adult in my own life and somewhat comforting that my mother would slip so easily back into old patterns of how she showed her love for me. To help you define how you want to feel when ‘coming home’, I suggest that you write a Creation Exercise using Template 3, ‘Craving what coming home is for me is’. We create our reality based our beliefs and our languaging of those beliefs. Templates 3 & 4 are perfect for defining what we want ‘coming home’ to be for us. Even now in my senior years, the words ‘coming home’ begin to define the transition time for me, what do I want that transition to be like and what do I expect after death.

Your Creation Exercises help support you in living the life that you crave. Templates 3 & 4 are pivotal in your process of reclaiming words from your language so that they support you in making choices resonant with your cravings for the present and for the future. All those life-enhancing life-generating phrases that you write are simultaneously added to your glial neural networks. What occurs for us is truly magical. If the word ‘home’ had negative connotations for you, then after you have written a full Template 3 Creation Exercise on ‘Craving what home is for me is’, the word ‘home’ now has 12 new life-generating phrases linked to it. Your brain now has more glial cells embedded with those phrases to choose from, phrases that describe the best home that you can imagine for your Self.

If you have never written a Creation Exercise, I recommend that you first read the book, ‘The Language of Creation’ by Tantra Maat. (Available in paperback and Kindle through Amazon.) Then go to the website of the Language of Consciousness Institute, www.loc-institute.com/mentoring/ We offer a free 30 minute mentoring session for customers new to the Language of Creation. We can answer your questions and address any challenges that you have experienced. Then go to the Store (www.loc-institute.com/store/) and purchase either the Guidebook for Templates 1 & 2 OR the package of all 6 Guidebooks. (I recommend the latter.) Practice writing Creation Exercises using Templates 1 & 2 and the Observing and Observing being Templates.

You can always purchase additional mentoring sessions to support your learning. Additionally, we recommend that you participate in our Group Mentoring calls. Every month, we offer a Group Mentoring call on Zoom. The next one is on August 20^th. Join us to have your questions addressed. https://www.loc-institute.com/product/august-group-mentoring/

To learn to write Templates 3 & 4, purchase Guidebooks 3 and 4. Write your Creation Exercises using Templates 3 & 4 on a person or word or thing. Once you are comfortable writing those Creation Exercises, we recommend that you purchase and read ‘You as the Mind of Creation’ by Tantra Maat. It’s available in paperback on Amazon. Starting in September, Tantra and I will be leading a discussion group around that book delving into its depths of comprehension, chapter by chapter. In late August we will post on the Language of Consciousness Institute’s website the link to register for that series.

We Need to Open Up to More

creation Awakening, Brain, capacity, communication, connection, Craving, Creation, Creation Templates, Elektra Porzel, Energy, Historic mind, Human, humanity, Identity, interactive, interdependent, interrelated, Language of Creation, Life-enhancing, Life-generating, Mind, Unity education, humanity, interconneted, interrelated, Original Design, religion, separation, spiritual, unity 0

How does humanity move from the old ideas of what is true…of the polarization of duality…of the aloneness of this reality of separation? We do it individually and collectively. Sometimes it is movies or books that open up our minds to the interconnections, the interrelationships and the interdependence of all life on earth. More often I feel it is the actions of individuals opening up to the more of what humanity’s capacities and capabilities actually are, what their individual capacities and capabilities are.

We each have experienced separation and isolation, often feeling like there is no one else to support us. That sense of isolation is not a personal failing but more so a failing of our systems of education, commerce, and religion. In those systems, ideas/concepts/facts are taught in isolation. We are not educated to connect these ideas, concepts, facts to a larger network of living of which they and we are a part. Reductionism sprang from this same well, which simply focused us on taking everything, every connection down to what seems its simplest form. In this process of reductionism all the complexities, relationships, context are eliminated, and the fact stands alone. We study it as an always forever fact/concept/idea rather than studying it within the field of human living within which it arose and interacts.

We feel alone because we were educated to be alone, to be compliant, to listen and follow authority without having a larger sense of the why behind our office, our business, our associations, or our government. A non-thinking public was the desired result. Our non-thinking public that also feels so isolated and not supported is a deadly combination for our species. They are desperate and they don’t examine or think about anything someone says or does. It is a blind following. People have been denied their ability to think, to compare, to observe critically. Are we surprised that they act like sheep? Following was what they were trained to do.

Even our religions told us that we did not have direct access to the support of the divine. We were told that we had to access their idea of God, not ours thru the priests, ministers of these religions. When I was young I did not like the old man on the cloud who supposed to be a loving father. All the stories that I was told were of a vindictive being, not a loving father. I, like many others, left the religions of our families because the old cultural images of the divine no longer actually supported us. Those old cultural images did not feed our spirits. Many just walked away from any religious affiliation throwing out ‘the baby with the bath water’ when it came to seeking energetic support from dimensional forces. While others sought connection thru paganism, eastern religions or adapting the practices of indigenous peoples of their lands.

A different field of energy has been rising for the past 50 years. Many different individuals have begun to question the why of our existence. They knew that the reality that they were born into did not resemble the realities that they had known in some previous existence. They felt like they didn’t fit in this western world, in this reality of separation. Some describe these energies as other dimensional energies; some call the experience as the field of unity rising. They responded to these energies moving with deeper connections with nature, with the land, with the elementals. They studied different religious and spiritual ideas and practices. They sought to live differently in this reality. They hoped for a shift in how humanity lived and acted. They hoped and they despaired both for themselves and for humanity.

Lately their efforts are being responded to by the larger forces of the universe. Personally, I thought that this human experiment had gone so wrong that this species would be eliminated. Exactly the opposite seems to be taking place. Energies from other dimensions, elements of the earth and nature are rising and communicating with humans who are opening up to these connections. I believe that the reality of separation that we all have been born into, educated within, and strangled within its grasp is dying. We, as humanity, are discovering the more of what humans can be, can do and can have here on earth. We are re-discovering our original design, of how we were meant to be in relationship with the earth and the cosmos.

My sensing is that there is so much etheric/dimensional/unseen support that we would be gobsmacked if we felt it all the time. This larger sensing of how we are connected with each other and with the elements comes to us in smaller doses so that our isolated minds can begin to absorb some of the wholeness of this life on earth, some small sense of the interconnectedness, the interrelatedness of all life here. I just finished a week’s experience of holding the space for others on a spiritual journey in Ireland. They were opening up into the sentience of our connections with stones and water. We who tethered with them felt some of what they felt, we dreamed part of the message received, we’ve experienced openings in our lives that we didn’t have before. How does that happen? The technical side I just don’t know, and I know my part of receiving was set to occur through my commitment to that group on that spiritual journey.

Each of us can open up to more of life beyond the 3D. We can open up to being more than our historical personality. We can feel connected to and can communicate with these other energies and forces that exist here. For those of you who would like your mind to open up beyond its present thought structure, I recommend writing the Templates of the Language of Creation. They bring your life-enhancing, life-generating phrases into your Cravings and draw you toward the life that you crave. Start there and you will experience connections not only to your deeper wisdom but more so to Creation/God/Goddess/Allah/Great Spirit. It is time for each of us to open up to the more of whom we can be and of what humanity can be. That opening up to more will create the future that we crave for our children, our grandchildren and for generations rising.

How Do We Think What We Need to Think? by Elektra Porzel

First a word for traditions renewing us to life renewing itself! May 1st is May Day, the midpoint between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. The earliest evidence of this celebration is in the 2^nd century so probably that it was celebrated for both the beauty of nature and for its fertility. The best-known modern May Day traditions include dancing around the May Pole and crowning the Queen of May. Take a minute to smile, look around and treasure the bounty of nature showing itself!!

In addition to being something that we treasure, that we repeat often, our traditions are basically thought patterns encoded in our neural networks and glia cells in our brains. The emotions and physical sensations associated with those traditions are likewise embedded in those networks. Those neural networks and glia cells hold everything that we think is real and how we should act in the world. All that information, all those beliefs, all those perspectives come from our family, our culture, our religion, our country. They frame how we experience our world and the way that we come to the moment, to life.

…human beings think they are their thinking. They think their thoughts are their thoughts. You do not realize your thoughts are thoughts born of cultural structures that leave you trying to fix ‘you’, not your thought patterns. Tantra Maat

If everything in your brains is historic information/beliefs given to you by your family, your religion, your culture, how do know what is your own truth…about yourself, about your place in the world? What are your own possibilities, what is your calling or what are those niggles to be or do differently? Do you need to create different ways to come to being with others, to being with nature, the land and the earth? Just doing the same thing or thinking the same thoughts will not give you a different future.

So, how do you know how to think differently, how to be differently? How do you come to the present moment differently, to create new ways to act in the world? You start with this recognition that your thoughts are not your thoughts. This gives you the perspective of asking…is this really what I believe? What information/perspective am I not aware of?

Next, what do you note about about your society? On a larger scale, what do your historic beliefs say about our institutions, are they sustainable for coming generations? Or if that doesn’t seem supported with evidence, how can you be part of identifying and creating a new more sustainable future for your self, for your family and for humanity? Many authors are speaking to this need now. I am reading Charles Eisenstein and Tyson Yunkaporta. Both these authors predict that our western society is not capable of having a sustainable future as it presently operates. Start with reading these authors to stimulate your thinking.

Reading other sources of information is a starter to opening your mind to the more that is actually present. Then add ‘being with others’ to your search, I suggest that you take the time to be in conversations with others to investigate perspectives different than your own. These partners in conversations should be equally dedicated to discovery and non-judgment. If they are stuck in historic and/or judgmental positions, then they are not the partners that you seek. You don’t have to agree with these conversation partners. You are with them to broaden your own awareness and find how your perspective shifts or expands.

This search through reading and conversation helps your neural networks to expand and connect to these new pieces of data. That makes them a more flexible network where choosing to respond is now possible. In the past, if your neural network was limited, there was only reaction. With more branches and connections, your neural pathways are numerous. You can take a breath and make a choice for what is the most life-sustaining option for you.

I discovered almost 8 years ago that there is one tool that supports me in this process of increasing the diversity of my neural network connections, the Templates of the Language of Creation. When I use the Templates to write my Creation Exercises, I am deepening my search for my own inner wisdom and my connection with Creation/Source. This happens for every writer of their Creation Exercises. The Templates only demand that we write life-generating, life-enhancing phrases. Just writing one Creation exercise results in over 16 life-enhancing phrases connected to that one Craving. 16 life-enhancing phrases now embedded in our neural networks as part of one Craving. The Observing Templates help us stop our looping thoughts and emotions and help us see with clarity where we truly are in the moment.

The Language of Creation’s Templates give us access to our real thoughts of our Original Design and access to the personality within which those thoughts exist. There are new energies coming into earth at this time. They are here to help us in our search for our Original Design and our deeper connection to Creation. Many of us are shifting out of our historic personalities and becoming more of whom we came here to be. We each are part of this body of humanity which is on the verge of restoring the wholeness of their Original Design and birthing their future Selves.

Our journey to discover our larger Self, our Being whom we came here to be, doesn’t end with reading a couple of books or having a couple of conversations or from writing a couple of Creation Exercises. These are ongoing activities over time during which we observe what is shifting in our lives. How are we coming to life differently? How are we being differently? What impact is our shifting behaviors having on others? What are we willing to be? What are we willing to commit to on behalf of a better future for ourselves and coming generations?

Over time, we shift out of our historic thinking and our historic habits. We start walking our talk, the being and thinking of our Original Design. We welcome being part of creating a new sustainable reality for future generations. Take the first step today! Welcome to the miraculous journey of the rest of your life!

Consciousness and You by Elektra Porzel

We hear a lot about the word consciousness these days. It wasn’t a common word 50 years ago or even 10 years ago. So, what does consciousness mean?

Dictionary definitions

…the awareness or perception of something by a person:” her acute consciousness of Mike’s presence”

…the fact of awareness by the mind of itself and the world: “consciousness emerges from the operations of the brain.”

…an awareness of yourself and the world. Research on consciousness has focused on understanding the neuroscience behind our conscious experiences.

These definitions don’t fit my experience of the journey into greater consciousness not only of what is ‘me’ but also of what is my ‘Self’ that came here on earth to be, to do and to have. My larger Being, this Self, holds why I came here, my unique and essential gift to earth and humanity. It is not a straightforward awareness of my mind nor is it a straightforward awareness of the greater dimensions that interact with humanity. It is both. We are both matter and energy; finite and infinite. Our experience of consciousness depends on both dualities operating in our being in the world.

First let’s look at our brains, where most people think consciousness resides

– the head brain, the Gut Brain and the heart.

Up until the 1980s and 1990s the medical profession only recognized the head brain. They also thought that it was unchangeable…that nothing could be done for people who were either born with or had injured their head brain. Two paths of inquiry changed that picture: Neuroplasticity and the Gut Brain. Research into what we now call neuroplasticity has proved that the head brain is the most malleable organ in the body. Other research discovered the second brain/gut brain has almost the same white and gray matter as the head brain and most of the neurotransmitters. Our experiences are stored in glial neural pathways that connect all three areas of our brains.

Now imagine how an individual’s consciousness about their own possibilities would shift when they have physicians who come from these new perspectives. We can imagine how just these new awarenesses would open up new possibilities for both the patient and the doctor. It’s the combination of new perspectives and new actions that will help the patient and the doctor live differently and thus live a different experience of consciousness. It is with our brains/minds and our spirit that we create new possibilities such that there are new levels of consciousness experienced over time.

Other current research on consciousness focuses on locations within the brain where consciousness is sourced: The frontal lobe or the back of the brain. It may be that these paths of research will yield more information on how the human head brain supports our consciousness and they do not fully address how the wider/deeper/higher levels of consciousness are achieved through both matter and energy. In both systems, there isn’t a path to discovering what the larger field of dimensional consciousness is beyond our matter, our body, and our brains. It’s not a knowing that can be achieved by looking only at the physicality of our brains.

Then what is the mind?

It’s the functioning of the three brains – the enteric nervous system/gut brain, the heart and the head brain all connected by the Vagus Nerve and our Spirit. We think of it as our intellect or maybe everything we experienced in the past through thinking, willing something to be, etc. Our brains hold all the information, ideas, beliefs that we have been fed by our larger society, our family, our religion. These beliefs/truths are stored in pathways in all our brains. So, when we ‘think’ our mind is ‘thinking’ we are mostly simply regurgitating what we learned earlier in life. We are not actually thinking something new, instead we are repeating the old statements that were given to us as the truth about the world.

Ancient spirituality believed that the Solar Plexus housed our Spirit. If that is true and the glial neural networks are located there, what communications are arising through your enteric nervous system/solar plexus? Is this how our spirit informs our mind/brain? When writing our Creation Exercises, we often experience sentience registers arising from our solar plexus. Often people exclaim how they are surprised by the deep wisdom that is written in their ‘embodied’ phrase. Is that their spirit talking? Their deepest wisdom? Creation? Our brains take this wisdom and integrate it into the neural networks about the Craving phrases that we choose. Our mind of our consciousness then is both in matter and thru spirit.

How do we change if we are simply repeating what we have been told?

We can’t think newly if we never explore ourselves outside of the box that has been provided us. Dipping your mind into the wider arena of discovery starts the process of consciousness.

What are ways that we can expand our thinking?

There are tools for the individual to use in this journey of ‘opening up to’ different perspectives, different information…changing perspectives, listening within conversation, writing your Creation Exercises. The Newfield Network suggests that you step outside your normal thinking and investigate new perspectives. Like the five blindmen who disagree what an elephant is…. when they ‘opened up to’ the idea that the other blindman might have a different experience of the elephant…they could change their position around the elephant and thus gain another perspectives. Eventually the ‘all’ of what an Elephant is would be clear to them.

The same happens with each of us when, in listening and conversation, we ‘open up to’ others’ perspectives, others’ wonderings, others’ hopes, others’ values and their common humanity. Our comprehension of what more there is to the world and to life expands our glial neural networks with more pathways; we have more choices in our thinking; and our levels of reactions lessen as these additional choice points makes responding instead of reacting to input more possible. When we write our Creation Exercises, we are increasing our glial neural networks with life-enhancing, life-generating phrases. As we move from writing our Creation Exercises on Template 1, then 2…then 3…then 4,…then 5,…then 6…., and then 7, we are writing from higher and higher levels of our own consciousness intertwined with and inspired by our relationship with Creation.

These expansions help us access levels of consciousness that we hadn’t imagined before. To achieve new perspectives, new common knowing with another and within ourselves, we must shift what we do to listen both externally and internally. In those actions we raise our consciousness levels.

What are the ways that you can search out different perspectives?

I use conversation with others who listen fully with their minds, their bodies, their hearts, and their spirit. They want to open up to others’ perspectives. They are looking to create a future that takes care of everyone on earth including nature, the land, and the waters. Conversations with these people open me up to others’ ideas and information, their wonderings, and their hopes. We use language to explore these ideas. Our language is expanded through these conversations and then becomes anchored as words with larger meanings in our brains. Those meanings carry cognitive and sentient information which makes the new neural pathways part of our whole system, body, mind, and spirit.

In order to language my inner consciousness journey, I use the Templates of the Language of Creation to give myself a connection to Creation and to access the deeper wisdom of my Spirit and Creation. It is in the regular writing of my Creation Exercises that I deepen my own consciousness of who I have been (my historic self) and of my Self…whom I deeply am, whom I came to earth to be, to do and to have. I experience these two processes…the observing of what is occurring and the craving of something new in my life. This interaction of Observing and Craving is integral to my consciousness. They cannot be separated out as just one or the other. We must reflect on where we are to take our next step to creating the life that we crave.

If we are to create a more viable and sustainable future for coming generations, we must come to the world, to ourselves differently. We must operate within consciousness experiences that are wider, deeper, higher than that within which we were born and raised. We raise up others as we raise up our own consciousness. We come to others differently when we ‘see’ from a higher level of consciousness.

That means learning to identify our historic patterns and habits and lessen them. That means changing how we be with others in our families, in our communities. We must look to creating a world, a society that works for everyone. Our present economic system does not do that. Our present healthcare system does not do that. Our present educational and judicial systems do not do that. Paying deliberate attention in these ways creates new experiences of consciousness of the wholeness of all life on earth. All life is interconnected, interdependent, interrelated. In that experience, we will return to honoring and respecting not just all people but also nature, the land, and the waters. Without this whole system response to the earth home and its inhabitants, we won’t be creating a sustainable future for our grandchildren and coming generations. That whole system recognition is a higher level of consciousness than most humans in western societies have lived in the last centuries. We look to the ways of our indigenous peoples who still hold the ways of being one with the land, with nature and each other. It is in their traditions and practices that we discover all that we modern western humans have lost in our experience of connection and consciousness.

The Value of Conversations In Our Lives Now by Elektra Porzel

We are in a time of humanity’s consciousness expanding towards a future where unity is dominant while simultaneously the old stories from the reality of separation of what is the ‘truth’ are fighting to stay in power. We each must pay attention to what we are paying attention to…the old stories that keep us in historic patterns of beliefs and actions, or the new stories that offer us the life that we crave. One way to do that is through conversation.

What are conversations? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, they are informal talking together, an oral exchange of sentiments, observations, opinions, or ideas. Is there a name for conversations where all participants are listening fully with no stances for judgments; where there is a mutual opening up to the others’ perceptions, ideas, wonderings, hopes? Let’s call it ‘Full-On Opening Up Into’ Conversations (FOOUI)! That’s my definition of conversation and the kind of conversations that I promote in my conversations on Zoom!

To open up to another’s perspective, another’s wonderings, another’s hopes for the future is to expand your own capacity to experience more, to see the world through another’s eyes. As you open up through this listening, you gain new perspectives. These new perspectives inform your choices and your actions. Those different choices and actions lead to different results in your life. Different results that help you create the life that you crave for yourself and for others.

In the present western society, there is a ‘talking at’ others from judgments or beliefs. We could call it a ‘not-listening’ to the thoughts of the others. There also exists a ‘belief’ mindset in which the individual hasn’t questioned their own thinking…are their thoughts what someone else told them or did they create these thoughts themselves? In this ‘belief’ mindset there is no examination of evidence pro and con or weighing of what others are saying relative to the ‘belief’. In ‘Full-On Opening Up Into’ FOOUI Conversations, we examine both our own thinking and seek evidence for our own thoughts as well as the thoughts/ideas of others. This form of internal/external dialogue is important to us now. Without those basic parameters of internal/external listening, how will we realize that there are other ways to view the world? How do we change how we behave or choose? How do we create new ways to be with each other? How do we create new ways of working together to create a more sustainable future for humanity?

The only way to get different results in our life is to open up to others’ perspectives. It’s like the five blind men around the elephant. If each blind man stays in just one position such as the leg or the trunk, they will never know the entirety of what an elephant is. If they listen and open up to what others are present to, they have the opportunity to move to the other’s position around the elephant and thus have a fuller comprehension of what an elephant is.

We each are a blind man about something in the world.

What better way to get a larger picture of the realities and the possibilities that are present in every situation, concept, experience than to participate in FOOUI conversations? Being in conversation does not force you to change your perception or opinion, it only serves to open you up to the more of what others are experiencing, thinking about, perceiving, wondering about, hoping for, dreaming about.

I hold conversations every week about the ideas of two different authors, Charles Eisenstein and Tyson Yunkaporta. They each have written books about the need for our present western society to shift our practices and policies, so that we can create a viable sustainable future for humankind. Eisenstein offered us his ideas in his books Sacred Economics and The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible as well as in his blog on Substack. In his book Sand Talk, Yunkaporta proposed that indigenous practices may offer us some practices, some concepts and some being states that we could use as templates for each of us to adapt in order to create a sustainable future for generations rising.

Each week I have two conversations on an Eisenstein Old Story-New Story proposition. Each conversation has different participants and therefore each conversation ends up focusing on different issues and evidence. It’s fascinating! Lucky me to be with these women who share from their history, from their wisdom, from their wonderings and from their hopes for creating a better future for our grandchildren and coming generations. Join me in April to be part of the conversation around Eisenstein’s Next Stories and Yunkaporta’s Sandtalk. The Eisenstein Next Stories conversations are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The conversations on Sand Talk are every other Wednesday and focus on one chapter of the book while looking for adaptability to our lives and possibilities for humanity’s future. Join me in FOOUI conversations and/or join others in FOOUI conversations where everyone listens without judgment, where everyone opens up to the possibilities of different perspectives, of different dreams and of different possibilities. Let’s open up to each other’s perspectives and discover the more of what there is to perceive in the world!

SandTalk – An Extraordinary Reading Experience

creation Awakening, Body, Brain, capacity, communication, community, connection, Creation Templates, Elektra Porzel, interactive, interdependent, interrelated, Language of Creation, Mind, Stamina, Strength aborigine, future, land, nature, Sandtalk, sustainable 0

You have heard how impressed that I am by SandTalk. Here is a review by Elke Power of Readings Monthly.

“Tyson Yunkaporta’s Sand Talk is an extraordinary reading experience. It’s both philosophical and practical, and underpinned by a compassionate yet realistic humanity. At the core of Sand Talk is a deep respect for Indigenous Knowledge, to which long-term thinking is fundamental. As Yunkaporta demonstrates, a central principle of Indigenous Knowledge and learning paradigms is looking back and recognizing patterns from the past, then learning from them. That’s an extreme simplification due to the length of this review, but as Yunkaporta convincingly argues, it is this kind and caliber of thinking that is profoundly lacking in many societies today, including in Australia, and the damage wrought upon our world in its absence is abundantly evident.

Yunkaporta writes with a clear-eyed sense of his own perspective, flaws and past failures. An academic, an artist, and much more besides, language is important to him. Like many of Australia’s First Peoples, he has a complex identity and history, and he writes, ‘I often don’t get to decide what I call myself.’ Throughout Sand Talk, he carefully shares stories of life-changing ‘yarns’ – a term he defines precisely early on – with people he has met on his extensive research travels.

Sand Talk is an engaging and singular introduction to the elements of Indigenous Knowledge, thinking, and methods of communication that Yunkaporta is in a position to share. It’s an opportunity to recognize these concepts and their history, and a generous invitation to incorporate these methods into non-Indigenous thinking for the benefit of all. It’s an unforgettable book, rich with ideas and inspiring in its conviction in the human capacity for personal change and growth. Open it to any page, read and enjoy!”

The LOC Institute is offering a series of discussions led by Elektra Porzel about Sandtalk starting on March 15th at 9amPT and every two weeks thereafter. Calls will last 60-90 minutes. We will discuss it chapter by chapter.

Questions we may explore:

How are these concepts/practices of the Aborigines with each other in community, with the land, with nature different than our relationships with each other, with the land and nature?
Are the concepts/practices presented something that we might adapt?
What impact might that have in our lives?
What if a large percentage of the human population adopted that practice…what might the impact be in how our society functions?
What are you called to write a Creation Exercise on? What did you experience when and after you wrote your Creation Exercise? (If you are unfamiliar with the Templates of the Language of Creation, I can work with you offline to teach you how to write your Creation Exercises)

I look forward to ‘yarning’ with you!

Traditions…Hindrance or Support?

Traditions! Do they support us or hinder us?

By Elektra Porzel.

We all have celebrated shows where the children defy the traditions and prosper. Fiddler on the Roof comes to mind with one daughter refusing an arranged marriage and another marrying out of her religion and culture. We witnessed the joys and the difficulties of these choices. We also have been part of or heard of families broken by the children’s decision to live their lives differently. In my generation, it was intermarrying between culture/religion groups and then racial groups. Now it’s children defying being what their gender has traditionally been in their family lineage and/or in their culture’s definitions of gender. All this change, while welcome in some parts, is never easy. Our families’ traditions are often based in a larger cultural context and that is based in an earlier time when adherence to tradition assured the individual’s and the family’s survival. Our family’s reaction to our changing of traditions can be separation, hurt, judgment, shaming as well as welcoming, integration, owning.

In the beginning of these tradition challenges, we are not always aware of the ultimate value that this shift to the family/societal structure and functioning will be. When it occurs on a societal level, it is harder to monitor and control the positioning of old=good, new=bad scenarios. As we negotiate how to celebrate holidays, how to speak to others of these choices, of altered expectations, there is an up and down of the roller coaster of creating new ways of being, new norms for the family or the society. We are watching an extreme response to change in our legislatures in the USA trying to limit choice, to limit voting, to make silence about the real history a mandatory action, to push back the clock of change. Ultimately they won’t succeed AND they make the process of integration so much harder for the society as a whole and for the individuals within it. While they voice their actions as trying to protect society for the future, they are actually lessening the viability of the society for the future.

We must create a new reality for humanity to live within, to prosper within. That future must meet the criteria of sustainability. Our traditions, our institutions are all up for needing change. We are seeing them falling apart right now. My questions is this: How do we create a sustainable future for our children, our grandchildren and future generations coming? How do we navigate these times without falling into judgment, shame, blame? How do we open up to the greater benefits and be compassionate to ourselves and others in the bumpy road of navigation to a new norm, a new pattern of living as a family, as an individual, as a society?

These questions are all up in two discussion series that we are offering through the Language of Consciousness Institute this month. ‘Becoming a Modern Indigen’ explores what we could gain from reviewing the practices and thinking of indigenous peoples, of our long-ago ancestors. In ‘SandTalk” by Tyson Yunkaporta, he suggests that our present western society’s traditions and institutions are not viable as a sustainable culture for the future. He offers for our investigation the practices and thinking of the aboriginal peoples of Australia. In Becoming a Modern Indigen, we will explore his thesis chapter by chapter…trying out some of the practices, writing our Creation Exercises around those ideas. Lots of wonderful deep conversations will surely occur.

In Exploring Charles Eisenstein’s Next Stories, we explore his ideas about new stories that are rising about humanity’s future. He too believes that our present society is not the basis for a sustainable future for humanity. This is discussion is aimed at looking at all the perspectives that dance around each ‘Next Story’. It is free for March.

What is a Modern Indigen?

by Elektra Porzel

In Western societies, we have lost much of what our indigenous ancestors thought about the world and how they interacted with it. In studying present-day indigenous peoples, we can extrapolate that our indigenous ancestors were part of a connected relationship with each other, with the land and with nature. Those relationships included their access thru their bodies, their emotions, and their minds. Many of us have lost those regular connections. Our western focus is on activities that pull us into the mind which defines how things are different and not how they are the same, not how the other is connected to the ‘me’ and to the ‘us’, not how our bodies inform us and how our emotions inform us. Thus, the reality that we live within is one of separation. This is not a sustainable mind/body/spirit reality for humanity to build on for the future.

Many present-day humans are seeking to reestablish these connections with their body, their emotions and their minds. They are seeking to be differently in their relationships to each other, to the land and to nature. We are seeking to recreate a reality of unity with all life, so that our children, our grandchildren, and the coming generations will have access to a world where there is a place for everyone and everything. A world where everyone can be supported in bringing their unique gifts to the community. A world where the people hold the common good in their actions and thinking. That’s my version of a Modern Indigen.

How do we relearn some of the ways our indigenous ancestors thought and how they interrelated with the world?

Each of us are the descendants of some indigenous people. Some are still active in that lineage while many of us are dozens to hundreds of generations away from our indigenous lineage. Though we can’t go back in time, we can look at how the indigenous peoples of the present-day think and act together. That viewing can give us a more vivid comprehension of what it means to be in connection with the land and nature. To be in the wholeness of thinking of and with, of acting within the whole.

In ‘SandTalk’ by Tyson Yunkaporta, the author describes and explores different ways that his aboriginal ancestors (and his present day indigenous community) connected as individuals and as a group; how they thought and how they acted together while in relationship with the whole.

This is a living example of whole system thinking where we examine the whole as one actively in connection with others. There is no examining one piece at a time as we have done in our western thinking. This is a wider, deeper, higher way of holding the other while in a dynamic connection. It feels to me that if we take the time to dive deeper, we can ‘get it in our bones’ and thus come to comprehend how we might think and act differently.

Yunkaporta offers to the reader the opportunity to listen to the activity in its placement within a whole culture. What would it mean to live in the wholeness of such an activity in the western culture, in our larger friend/families or kin groupings? How can we teach ourselves and our children to move into practices of whole system thinking and acting? Will such a move give our children and grandchildren a future that is sustainable for generations upon generations?

I hope that this intrigues you, interests you. I am offering all of us an opportunity to delve deeply into these ideas in ‘Sandtalk’ with a program called Becoming a Modern Indigen.

Starting on March 15th, I will be leading a book discussion/immersion group where, for each call, we will discuss not only the ideas put forth in a chapter, but also we will explore how to live that concept/practice in our lives. For those of us who write the Creation Exercises, we will write a Creation Exercise on a term or idea from that chapter.

I sense that this book needed a deeper look than just a one time reading. I want to create a better future for my descendants and yours. Only in the deeper wider thinking can we try on these practices in ways that might work in the present. This is a deeper dive. Hopefully we will be integrating these new ways of thinking about and being with others into our daily lives.

My plan is for the group to meet every two weeks starting on March 15^th at 9amPT.

Want to take this deeper dive with me?

First, register for the program ( https://www.loc-institute.com/product/becoming-a-modern-indigen-using-sandtalk-by-t-yunkaporta-and-the-creation-templates/ );

Second, buy the book and read Chapter 1 before our first class.

From March thru early June, we will meet every two weeks. Then we will take the time to let all that whole system thinking and acting settle into our systems. Starting in September we will return to the book discussion/immersion looking at Chapters 8-14.

When I first read this book, I listened to it because Yunkaporta’s voice provided the sound frequencies of his truth. Then I used a Kindle version and a paperback version to let my mind track his connections more deeply. I recommend all these versions for you to use in your deepening into the more of what we humans can be and do.

Be with me in this deeper dive of exploration and application to our lives!

Starts: Wednesday March 15th. Runs for 7 calls for Chap 1-7

Time: 9amPT -10:30amPT

Cost: $89
