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.

We Need to Open Up to More

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.

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!

The Art of Unpacking Soma

creation Awakening, Body, capacity, Commitment, connection, consciousness, interactive, interdependent, interrelated, Life, Life-enhancing, Life-generating, Lori Candon, Mind, Perception, Spirit, Victoria McMahon balance, Body, emotions, Mind, Spirit, unpacking 0

by Lori Candon collaborating with Victoria McMahon

Alice Miller, The Body Never Lies—

“Physical illnesses are the body’s response to permanent disregard of its vital functions. One of our most vital functions is an ability to listen to the true story of our own lives.”

We each have a story, a series of events/circumstances, influenced by our individual and collective (societal/historical) experiences. Story may formulate from a tape that continuously runs in the mental mind, linking thoughts with emotion, or from a habituated shaping of our physical body. The shaping of the physical body produces a mood; creating a link between body and emotion. Shaping may operate on behalf of life or you may recognize an experience as disconnecting from life.

The Art of Unpacking Soma has been a theme in my storyline for over 40 years. Observing began through the access point of the mental mind; deciphering the world from a place of either/or thinking (good/bad, right/wrong, safe/unsafe). A hypervigilant, external focus led to disengagement with expressing internal emotion and feeling body sensation. I operated from a place of “being at the effect of circumstances”, which for me means surviving the world and navigating relationships.

As the practices of yoga and tai chi brought me back into relationship with my body, other modalities reconnected me with emotions. Threading my experiences of mind, emotion, body language has opened me up into strength, stamina, capacity for embodying choice. Embodying choice has me have agency for “being with” the dynamic unfolding of life, inviting more.

Can you identify either way of being?

Does a story come to mind right now?

How do you gain access to authoring a new story?

Exploring our unique communication system and observing our mind, emotion, body languaging informs us of our level of engagement with our living body (Soma). The intelligence of the entire organism (Whole System Response) is a vital lens in which we organically engage with the world. Through the interactive, interrelated, interdependent Soma Communication System, we increase our capacity in the unfolding of how we language an experience. This informs moving with experience, being in direct relationship with the fullness of life within us and in community with others.

Is your unique relationship with Soma what you have been longing to discover?

Are you pondering the possibility of a new way of operating in your being that gives you a deeper connection to you?

Are you able to remember a moment when you felt aligned, all aspects of the mind, the emotion and the body interacting in a harmonious way of being?

How are you unpacking that which no longer serves you? Choosing to explore and awaken into observing and engaging as a somatic being opens us up into living our purpose while experiencing the joy of who and what we came here to be and do.

Coming from an organizing nature, unpacking for me happens in so many different ways. Imagine a suitcase where everything is jumbled and stuffed inside, unable to close and function properly.

Then, imagine a suitcase where all the contents are organized and have a place.

Now it is time to unpack the suitcase. Do you throw the contents into a disorganized heap only to ‘deal with it’ later? Do you remove the contents in an organized way, returning the contents to their rightful place? Do you take the time to be with the experience, listening to the wisdom of Soma?

Sometimes unpacking is messy and happens all at once and sometimes it is a slow, deliberate process. There is no right or wrong way to do it. You can be in the both/and…you can go into the depths all at once or you may choose to take one baby step at a time. Consciously choosing what, where, and how to unpack supports moving into ‘trueing’ with Life itself.

Link to our video to explore what ‘trueing’ is for you

Trueing Ourselves in Somatic Relationship

For me, the art of unpacking is a dynamic process creating generative movement toward balance. It is an expansion of either/or thinking into both/and thinking. While sustaining and maintaining life enhancing languaging and fluidity of the entire communication system, soul consciousness is able to operate through form to remember itself.

“Health is the natural expression of the body, mind, and soul when they are in rhythm with the One Life.”- Dr. Randolph Stone, Health Building

Capacities Magnify when Collectives’ Actions Unify By Elizabeth Geyer

creation Awakening, capacity, Commitment, community, Elizabeth Geyer, Emergence, humanity, Inspiration, interactive, interdependent, interrelated, Life-enhancing, Life-generating 0

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!

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!

The Art of Unpacking the Templates by Liz Geyer

Welcome to 2023! Happy New Years to you!

It is a new year, and is a time to be with ourselves to create something new to move into. I am sitting with two brilliant questions Elektra proposed:

“How do I come to know mySelf more?

How do I become more of who I came here to be? ”

Have you been pondering such questions?

What response does your body have when reading and hearing the word ‘unpacking?

I have asked mySelf these questions before. This year, I want to try something different by diving more deeply into this inquiry by unpacking a template three, specifically around ‘spiritual maturity.’

Step 1:

I crave to sit with ‘unpacking’. In the past, I have had some less than great experiences with the ‘unpacking’ idea in the school system. I want to move beyond those experiences of ‘unpacking’, thus, I went to the dictionary!

According to Grammarist.com, unpacking is: “To remove things from a box, suitcase or other container. “

Unpacking has also come to mean, “To analyze something, to take apart an idea and examine each detail. This involves a sort of deconstruction.”

I found out this last meaning came into play in the late 1980’s. Now it is seen as a buzzword in some circles. So correct!

The mind now wants to move into writing a Template 3: “Craving what unpacking is for me is.” This way, I can be an observer to see differently.

Before moving into writing this Template, I want to explore the definition a bit further.

Another source, ‘CITE’ gives a definition that intrigues me: “To unburden, as the mind; reveal.”

This definition is the one I wish to explore further! Focusing my observing lens, I want to explore unpacking the Templates to open ever-deepening layers of the Self to become a more perceptive observer of the many aspects of ourSelves. I crave to reveal more hidden gems of who I AM in addition to (goddess, treasure, crone, magician, gnome, grumpy, almost 101 year-old feisty grandma, sha-woman).

Who else might be here within mySelf to bring into the light?

Whom else might there be to reveal within YourSelf?

Step two:

After exploring a definition, if a word pops out for me, writing an acrostic poem sometimes gives me a deeper sense of the intrigue of the word. In this instance, I was intrigued with the word ‘REVEAL’. I was able to train my camera lens more deeply here:

Revealing regenerative relevance

Enlightened exceptional epiphanies

Validate vast vibrancies

Eagerly explore ‘earnestnesses’ empathies

Activate adventurous, authentic access

Lighthearted, loyally learning loving leadership

What a wealth of in-formation occurred in the language here.

Is there any language that stirs something in you?

For me, I am feeling the beauty of ‘enlightened exceptional epiphanies’. If we are unpacking something, finding ever deeper and more colorful layers of who We are, the word ‘epiphany’ lights up like a Christmas tree! What is revealed in the activity is an art…epiphanies are certain to be unearthed!

Step three…

Now to observe from a different perspective. What if we began to see, hear, feel and sense that the Template writing practice is an art form?

I am sitting here pondering this. Hmm, what…if?

Training my lens on a picture,

seeing the templates as brushing colors onto a canvas…

my solar plexus is lighting up with joy in seeing this picture!

My Experience

There is no clench of dread now! Only excitement! I can see a young child opening a box to reveal a bright light of magic, a bit like a Norman Rockwell painting. I can see this in my mind’s eye.

What if unpacking with the templates looked like this? “ Such a sublime activity”, my wise Self says!

I do admit that sometimes writing the Templates becomes something I know I have to do, yet…

…with this new way of observing

…with this new excitement running through my systems,

I am now going to shift my observer to be with the “Art” of writing the templates and try this perspective on this year! What a great way to begin the year through this beautiful art medium of unpacking.

How does one unpack the templates?

I am so happy you asked! I can’t wait to take you on this journey with me, and with the LOC Team! We can be in this exploration together!

Join me and the LOC Team on Monday, January 16th at 8:00 AM PST, for a free conversation about the value of “The Art of Unpacking the Templates”. The next week, we will begin a new six week series, where I will walk us all through ‘How’ to unpack the templates, using Template 3, specifically this Template: “Craving what spiritual maturity is for me”.

This year, I crave unpacking ‘spiritual maturity’. I know I crave this, because the language won’t leave me alone. I have been wanting to unpack templates and really spend a good amount of time in this activity ever since Victoria talked about taking a year to unpack a template!. Now is the time!

I would love for you to join me and the LOC Institute Team in community to be with this activity together! Here is the link to our events page. Hope to see you there!

Haven’t we all heard this phrase, “They step to the beat of a different drummer”? Yes, and what have been our thoughts around this phrase when perhaps being described this way? That because we weren’t one who went with the flow of society, that we were less than? I have been sitting with being different this past week, and have found a brilliant lesson through the ‘art’ of syncopation in music.

Syncopation is defined as, “ 1 : a temporary displacement of the regular metrical accent in music caused typically by stressing the weak beat. 2 : a syncopated rhythm, passage, or dance step.” I can certainly apply this definition to humans that seem to look at life and live life differently, mySelf being one of these humans. I also surround mySelf with unique individuals and steep in the beauty of this offbeat rhythm in life. Why? Why would I not want to be in the flow of the river of humanity…like everyone else? I really had to sit with this, because in some ways, I do let myself be taken down certain passageways with the bulk of humanity, because it has just been easier. Yet, for the most part, I have lived my entire life as the salmon swimming upstream in a heavy current, and…wanting to be the salmon that had white flesh, instead of red…I wanted to be that different aspect of humanity, to be embraced by others because I was different.

To be living a life in syncopation is to honor the differences in each of us, from where I “Be” in the world. Recently, I listened to a favorite jazz musician, Wynton Marsalis speak about syncopation. I loved what he said! “Syncopation can distinguish a group and can also characterize a region, with each individual’s way of pushing and pulling the beat being very personal.” He also eloquently, stated, “Syncopation is the daring application of dexterity, jocularity and timing to challenge the common grid…a common way of doing things…the accepted way. It is the masterful challenging of convention, the element of surprise that makes a punchline funny.” Isn’t this how we might look through a lens to see ourselves? Don’t we challenge the common grid by daring to BE who we came here to be? Don’t we, as a different sort of human, add color, the offbeat aspects of our personhood, humor and experience to others? I know we do!

In the present moment, I see this new learning of being with the offbeat as such a gift, knowing that I may look like I am stepping to a different beat, yet I, with you, bring such beauty in this offbeat kaleidoscope of life! Being the syncopated drummer, adding to the orchestra of life, that one spark of a new color, piece of language, twist of perception that can add flair and new insight to being human is really fun!. This perception gives me passion in looking at what we as humans are now creating that adds such deeper meaning to living. I am excited to be looking through my kaleidoscope with its complex rhythms and colors. What about you? What sparks you in the spectrum of difference you carry to others? What is your rhythm that is unique? You are essential in this orchestra of life that we are. Your rhythm SO matters! I am so happy you chose to be here in this time of life where we all are beginning to remember how much we as humanity matter to the whole of existence. Thank you for your unique service in and to LIFE!

A Case for Accessing our Indigenous Knowing

For thousands of years, human beings have been seeking to find their place in the Universe. We can see from the remaining indigenous spiritual practices that this involved an interactive, interconnected, and symbiotic relationship with all life on earth and in the universe as well as a relationship with a higher dimensional being who looked out for them and all life. From that we see the development of many religions which gave a higher dimensional Being some powers over the humans with the agreement of protecting them. Today, in the western world, many humans have abandoned the belief in a religious God/Goddess. Some are regaining a greater personal awareness of the network of all life on earth of which we are a part. Some still believe in the ironic phrase of humans having the dominion over all life. The latter have simply abandoned their responsibility to the earth and her animals, trees etc.

Some say we are in an extinction event. If the majority of humans decide not to change their ways environmentally, and communally, then our species will die as this planet becomes unable to support life as we have known it. Environmentally so that other species and humans can survive and thrive on this planet. Communally so that we each treat every other person as we would like to be treated as in equal rights for all humans regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, handicap etc. To this list I will add the need for humans to come back into right relationship with nature as in the manner of indigenous cultures. What does that mean? It means recognizing that we are part of an interconnected, interactive, and symbiotic whole of all life. We are one of the elements of life on earth and certainly not the most important one. This awareness would change how we work with the land, protect natural areas, limit the use of water, clean the air, protect the rights of animals, birds etc.

In his book, Sand Talk, Tyson Yunkaporta talks about how his indigenous people comprehend these matrices of connection with other humans, with the land, with animals, plants etc. This knowing helps them keep balanced and respectful in the actions that they take with others in these matrices of connections. This in-the-moment knowing of the interactive, interconnected, and symbiotic relationship that we have with all life is critical in the survival of all humans, not just the indigenous peoples. Humans must become present to these matrices of connection of which we are a part if the species is to thrive on this planet.

I have been using another language-based tool to open myself up to my own sense of my Beingness, to what it is that I came here to be and do. The Templates of the Language of Creation allow me to define what words, persons, concepts mean to me. These new definitions are always life-generating and life-enhancing. Therefore, my thinking becomes deeper and wider in how I think, and how I function in the world. To explore the Language of Creation and its Templates, go to www.loc-institute.com/

How Does Your Sentient Intelligence Inform You? By Liz Geyer

creation Awakening, capacity, community, connection, consciousness, Emotions, Exploration, interdependent, interrelated, Liz Geyer, neuroplasticity, Perception imagination, sensations, sentient intelligence 0

Since you began to write the Creation Exercises, you have been learning more about your sentient intelligence. Did you know that the registers for your sentient knowing can now change, and how you are accessing your sentient knowing is changing? This is fascinating! I had always thought that once I tapped into my sentient knowing with certain registers, that I would use these registers over and over, yet I am finding my registers are shifting and changing, and deepening with time and experience. I have been paying attention to knowing the registers for what is life enhancing and life generating, and I am noticing these registers now change over time. As I have moved through recursions, different registers are created. And…life is becoming more fascinating as I am paying closer attention to connections through sentient registers.

An example of this could be an experience I had in my spheres course this week. A young man, who was teaching us about paying attention to what happened after transmitting a message about whales into his sphere, explained that he used a negative experience to share with a whale through his transmission, that he would do everything he could to save the whales, so that they could live in safety and grace. Soon after my class, three pieces of information about whales popped up in my field. I happened to scroll through Facebook and found a video of a female scientist who was saved from a shark attack by a whale. The video showed her experience with the whale. Then today, I was looking at what was new at Disney World. The animal kingdom park showed some artists sculpting a sand sculpture of whales that lies at the entrance of a new part of the park where you can learn all about whales! Then, Disney just completed a full length movie about whales, and it may be up now on Disney Plus to view. Up until earlier this week, I hadn’t been paying attention to whales. Then, I became connected with this sphere operator who speaks about his experiences with whales. My sentient antenna was in his field, and now…information about whales is popping up everywhere! I am pinged in a big way to pay attention to my sentient knowing…the body is resonant…my solar plexus is vibrating. The body is telling me to pay attention. This…is…so…fun!

Let’s get practical for a minute, and revisit the definition for sentient intelligence. Having this definition in front of me helps give me some context for what I am experiencing at this time. This is the definition that we use in the Field of Tantra Maat.

“Sentient Intelligence: 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 thru you, imagination, words popping into your head. It is an internal communication system.”

What are your registers for your sentient intelligence? How do you access your sentient registers? How do they change over time? What does that mean to you as they change? Why is it important to ponder this? Why is it important to me? In a recent conversation with friends, Maru said, “I have new registers,and they are different from ones I had before. I don’t know what they mean, but I know I need to pay attention to them.” This recursion…this state…the shifting of our being is happening in all of us, so why are we paying attention? In this recent conversation happening with our community of friends, we all seem to be pondering these questions, knowing they are important, knowing we are deepening something, even though we do not know what…yet isn’t it fun to be in the wondering?!!! Also during our conversation, we were present to knowing sentient registers through sound; i.e. music, drums, electronic vibrations, solfeggio tones,etc; written language of a story that opens us up into more; research we read on various topics; movement- access through the vibration and movement of the body; visual imagery, form, color, and kinesthetic action of placing color to paper; or creating art through various other mediums, such as embroidery or knitting; geopathic access through the vibration of the cells in the body.

I don’t know about you, but I am now in a place where there is nothing to do BUT to pay attention and be with these shifts in my being. Today, as I was moving through how to write this blog, I was present to energy running up and down my legs, through my arms, up to my solar plexus. I have never felt energy running through me this way before. I felt as though I was in the middle of a tide pool, with the body spinning. The energy began to swirl in a spiral in the solar plexus, and I had to just sit in my chair and be with it. I was drinking something with magnesium in it, and hoped in a bit of time the body would slow. At the same time, I couldn’t think straight, nor could I take in what anyone was talking about. I couldn’t comprehend the language being spoken. It truly jarred me. I wondered if I was going mad for a moment. My logical mind tells me it is a recalibration. Yes, I could not ignore the shift the body was in, and I knew I had to pay attention, and had to sit with the body as it moved my spirit/soul/being through…I don’t know what…it was some-thing! Is this a new register? Well…I suppose so…a significant “recursion register”, I will now name it as I write! No, it is not caffeine (I only had 1/4 cup this morning!) No, it is not the new greens supplement I ingested. Boy is it powerful! In this particular “recursion register”, I can now say, the register was very physical, with emotion certainly running through the body as well.

Because of these amazing conversations we have been in, we are excited to continue the discussion to deepen our sentient intelligence, and we want to share in this conversation with all of you and your sentient wisdom! We are offering this opportunity for all of you to join us to be part of this conversation on sentient intelligence. What we are experiencing in life and in our body and being is changing now…how we’ve known our sentient intelligence has shifted, and we can’t wait to learn more to deepen our Being! Join us on May 12th for a conversation of our sentient knowing now, and the new registers we are all experiencing!
