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

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

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 2nd 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

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

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 the ‘Self’ that came here to earth to be, to do and to have.  It is not a straightforward awareness of my mind nor is it a straightforward awareness of the greater dimensions that interact with humanity.

First let’s look at our brains – the head brain, the Gut Brain and the heart.

Up until the 1980s, the medical profession only recognized the head brain.  They thought that it was unchangeable…that nothing could be done for people who were either born with defects 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. Different parts of the head brain can be used for different functions.  Now the medical world is discovering all the myriad ways that the brain can change so that birth defects, accidents, stroke are no longer jail sentences but are instead opportunities to rewire the brain and for the individual to move into being differently and being more.  Other research discovered the second brain/gut brain which has almost the same white and gray matter as the head brain and most of the neurotransmitters.   The microbiome of the gut brain informs us 24/7 what is occurring within us and outside of us.

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 thru thinking, willing etc. Our brains hold all of 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 reordering 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.

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.  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 perspective.  Eventually the ‘all’ of what an Elephant is would be clear to them.  The same process happens with each of us when we ‘open up to’ others’ perspectives, others’ wonderings, others’ hopes.  Our comprehension of what more there is to the world, to life expands; our neural networks in our three brains gain more pathways; we have more choices in our thinking; and our levels of reactions lessen as these additional choice points makes responding easier instead of reacting to input.

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 opens me up to others ideas and information, their wonderings, and their hopes.  We use language to explore these ideas.  Our language is expanded thru these conversations and then become anchored as words with larger meanings in our brains. Those meanings carry cognitive and sentient information which makes the new neural pathways part of the 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 in order 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.  That means learning to identify our historic patterns and habits and lessen those that are not life-generating.  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.  These needed changes have to mean that 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,

To learn more about the Templates of the Language of Creation, I suggest that you visit the website of the Language of Consciousness Institute.  Go to our products and investigate what supports we can give you in this inner and outer journey of deepening your consciousness. (www.loc-institute.com/store/)  If you want to be in conversation with others, join us in several conversations we are presently offering.  (www.loc-institute.com/courses-events/)

What is most critical is that you place yourself in a supportive field with others.  It is in the common journey of discovery and ‘opening up to’ that we find that we are most able for what has been hard for many of us.  The LOC Institute offers free mentoring when you first start writing your Creation Exercises and paid mentoring whenever a need for support is felt.  Go to our website to see what is being offered.

Unpacking

The Art of Unpacking Soma

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 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

Sandtalk

SandTalk – An Extraordinary Reading Experience

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 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!

Fiddler on the Roof

Traditions…Hindrance or Support?

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

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.

Becoming a Modern Indigen

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 15th 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

Design Your Life Through the Templates of the Language of Consciousness

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

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 all 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 we should.  Or we feel we aren’t being the person that we feel inside.  This happens when we first leave high school or college and must choose a career.  It happens later in our 30s or 40s 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 choice about how we be with ourselves and others, what we 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 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 Exercise support us in creating lives that are life-enhancing and life-generating.

The Advocates of the Language of Consciousness Institute have been looking at how to best support others in learning to write and use the Templates in their lives.  We realized that this Sentient Intelligence was the key to each person recognizing their own unique communication with their Spirt and their body.  It is thru 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.

The Advocates have created a new learning program called Designing Your Life: Artfully Engaging your Sentience through the Templates of the Language of Consciousness.  This 7 session program runs from Oct 25th thru Jan 17th.  There is self-guided learning between session offering participants access to traditional learning materials such as articles and videos.  This program starts with exploring the Observing and Observing Templates and our sentient awareness.  In sessions 3-7. it goes on to explore the first 4 Craving Templates: Craving, Craving being, Craving What and Craving What being.  In each session, participants will explore movement, sentient awareness, discovery, discussion, and the power of working together in a field.  It promises to be a powerful personal Journey for everyone.

Registration opens on Sept 23rd.  Go to the Events page on the Language of Consciousness Website https://www.loc-institute.com/courses-events/  to read more about this program and to take advantage of the special discount rate of only $377.

That Which Is Upon Us by Elektra Porzel

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

What we do know is that this is a field happening, not just an individual happening.  Each of us is experiencing this happening from within our own bodies, minds, and emotions. Each of our bodies has very specific ways of informing us of the shifts that are occurring within.  That does not mean that this is just about us individually. That there is something is wrong with us.  That we are regressing.  No, it does not.  We are OK.

Imagine that there are higher vibrational fields that are now coming into earth and interacting with our bodies.  These higher dimensional fields could be our Spirit/higher Being; Creation/God/Goddess; our etheric support team.  In any case, our bodies have been used to existing not just in this 3rd dimension but also within the mind sets/historic neuronal networks that define us as limited to the 3rd dimension, at fault for everything that we experience and alone, i.e., we must do it all by ourselves.  That is just the past agreements.  They are done. Our bodies remember our original design, our unity in paradise.  Our bodies are fine with these experiences that we are having. They just must complete the removal of historic thinking and of historic stances that we took in alignment with our society’s norms and beliefs.

We are in the present moment of embodiment.  We are material and etheric Beings who are simply recalling our original design. Yes, our bodies. our emotions, and our historic neuronal networks will be triggered by these higher degrees of connection with our larger Self, and Creation.  Yes, once we recognize that this is all that this is occurring, that only goodness is occurring, that this process is a blessing…well, we will collectively and individually take a deep breath and move on with being in the experience in curiosity and joy, instead of experiencing it with a feeling of fear or failure.  Our only responsibility is to be present to what is occurring and to open up to the next step of what is occurring.

Do we know what the next step is? No. There is no need to.  We are held by Creation. Creation is like a loving Mother and Father.  It has our backs collectively and individually.  It will guide us at every step. Just as you accept the meaning of some sentient register in your body when writing your Creation Exercises, likewise you can accept this support from Creation as you simply respond to each step.  The critical piece here is to pay attention to what is occurring in the larger field within which you exist.  For many of you, one of those larger fields is the Field of Tantra Maat.  As you pay attention to the changes in your body and your thinking, also pay attention to something occurring in the larger fields.  Ask not   – why is this sensation/thinking happening to me?  Ask –  what is occurring in my larger fields that is impacting my body, my mind, and my emotions?

Individually we are stronger when we stand with another in a field.  We are stronger as a WE than as an I.  Trying to do it all alone will never get you to Paradise, to your original design to your embodiment of your Being.  Know that together we will have Paradise here if we pay attention to the larger field occurrences and stay connected to each other.

Emotional Presence: Give The Mind a Spring Cleaning by Victoria McMahon

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

Feelings and emotional states of being are becoming the predominant experience in these times upon us.  The shift from one feeling to another is so swift and often many of us are not able to language what is moving with us.  It can feel like a multitude of experiences culminating spontaneously.

How is this part of your experience?  How do you language it….inside a creation template….in a conversation?  Are you finding your relationship with experience confusing or awakening?

This may very well be how we are moving with or into the next reset.  The curiosity is what does a next reset look or feel like.  Is it like previous resets in our physical being lifetime or are we embracing a whole new system response reset.  Being a willing explorer in the recent Timeless Time event with Tantra Maat, I feel the body mind response to what is upon me these days is moving into the beyond the usual timeline that used to label as familiar time sequences.

Aspects of being human occurring in the so called sequence of a day are experienced as slowed down time and then other experiences feel like they occur in the blink of an eye.  For me, I have been sensing various chapters of this lifetime are being rewritten and, in the present time, new chapters are waiting to be recorded.  It is occurring as the saying, ‘when one door closes, another door opens (or maybe it is a window).  Feeling doors beginning to close as what no longer holds my attention or what I am not longer wiling to give attention to is a meaningful dialogue being observed in the mind and is now finding a voice into the world.

I was particularly struck in exploring Timeless Time what rose into the field to be acknowledged and integrated.  The feelings of sorrow, deep longing and honored reflection gave space for the capacity to close one door and allow possibilities for one or more doors to open.  While I imagine the potential doors opening and move with the sentience of what is nudging my thought into action, I am very clear the what and how is being in-formed and thus in-forming this being.

During Timeless Time, I observed how the body system could be with the myriad of sensations from spaciousness around the solar plexus and heart in the beginning time of the event. Then moving into the exploration of what Tantra referred to as mechanistic thinking/identity, I tracked the pressure upon my head as a reorganization of neural networks to bring space and give access to being with the mind in deeper relationship with the how of operating in Time.  This pressure, like a vice grip, was more challenging when I identified it as a problem I had created.  The moment I observed it as a looping or stuck thinking patterns of old, the intensity reduced and an a pathway cleared or a window in Time emerged.   By the end of the event, the pressure valve released.  The system is now in a new conversation.

This conversation is mostly moving with observation as the foundation.  Observing feeling this chapter in life closing has me be present to space for honoring and willingness to move into being with how closing is for me.  Being present to space for honoring and willingness to move into being with how closing is for me has opened me up into the value of not rushing to action.  Opened up into the value of not rushing to action has me have a different way of listening to move with Time to feel completion while fulfilling into the next.

This is how the Creation Templates are a part of moving and being with the moment.  Allowing the full experience is the embrace of how the templates support the being to be in the space of BDW (broader, deeper, wider) and open the mind up into the in-forming into action.  The pause is part of the sorting between that gives access to the greater realms to participate with and through us.

Can you enter into your landscape and observe what is completing in you…pause and give observation in Time.  Then through refection, move into the birth/rebirth of the mind that lies beyond all the distortion and looping thinking (mechanistic thinking)?  As we are in the season of renewal, the spring that brings new life, new thought…what is the window or door you are opening to bring freshness, vitality, and clarity as you pause and take in this next, new deeper breath of being?

Creating a New Model of Learning

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

What would it be like to love your own Self Study?  To be invigorated by observing within and without?   What would it be like to feel safe in sharing in with others?  To be held in safety in a group discussion.  What would it be like to feel transparent in your sharings with others, safe and supported?  What would it be like to expand your experience of your consciousness with others in the field?

The LOC Team is in the process of creating a model of learning that includes these elements:  first offering individual and group instruction and support materials in how to use the Language of Creation to bring more of your larger Self into your life.  There will be opportunities to learn by yourself and with others.   Coaching is a word that would describe the way that we then walk with you as you gain competency in not just the how to write but more so in how to use the Templates to deepen your experience of living your deeper purpose, of having the strength, stamina and capacity to be, to do and to have all that you came here to be, do and have.  Again, both individual and group mentoring are utilized at this step.

We hope that you are excited by the idea of being in this kind of learning environment.  I know I am.  I learn so much from each new student that shares their ahas and their stumblings.  I can be present with them in that moment and we both open up to new perspectives and ways to utilize the power of the Templates to support them in being more of whom they crave to be.

We all remember being graded from A-F and having our self-image either bolstered or negated by those grades.  This is not what our learning model is about.  It is your life-enhancing phrases that are in your Creation Exercises, not our ideas of what is life-enhancing for you.   Our teachers and coaches are here to help you learn how to use the Creation Exercises to move toward what life-generating thoughts, actions that you crave for your life.

The last phase of our model revolves around a continued dynamic of group interaction/involvement while you are deepening your individual perceptive comprehension of your consciousness levels.  We don’t know what this looks like except that we know that structure is forming. We are clear that expanding our experience of different consciousness levels is only attained thru being part of a larger field.

I am writing this blog to reach out to you for your thoughts on this new model of learning and specifically on your ideas of this last step.

Let me flesh out what we mean by Self-Study.  First you are not in a classroom with a teacher that knows the correct information.  You are working individually, in a group  or with a coach to learn to use the Templates to attain what you want for your life.  It’s definitely not a grading system imposed by an outside group.  It involves learning new skills, taking on new practices all with an Observer stance of what is occurring both internally and externally.  What is your sense of what you came here to be, to do and to have?  What has stood in your way in knowing your be/do/have and living your be/do/have?

The responsibility for each of us moving toward or into our higher purpose, our craved reality is on our individual shoulders.  That’s what Self-Study is about.

What often gets in the way of us taking on this Self-Study? For many of us, what gets in our way is historic habits of acting/not acting in the world.  These historic habits are probably based in a trauma pattern of some occurrence.  They tend to be reactions without the time taken for choice or response. Another thing that gets in our way is our experience in ‘learning’ environments, i.e. school.  Our concepts of learning are probably based on someone wiser telling us what is correct and asking only for regurgitation thru testing.  The latter is not how we in the LOC Institute are defining learning

Our first step into Self Study is to start to write what we observe about our lives.  What do we observe being in our lives?  These Observings always seem to birth our cravings.  How do you write these Observings and Cravings so that you are not in your historic mind but in your be/do/have future mind?  You use the Templates of the Language of Creation.  In the Craving Templates, you write only life-generating, life-enhancing phrases.  In the Observing Templates, you write what you are experiencing/thinking right in the moment, negative or positive doesn’t matter.

As you journey through the Templates, you will define what words/people/concepts mean to you newly thru Template 3 & 4.  You will uncover those metapoints that you crave to be within in Template 5.  You will take on being One with Creation in Template 6 and you will hold embodiment of some state in Template 7.  It is a journey that continues to allow us to unfold into greater and greater aspects of ourselves.

This model of Self-Study will be used throughout our learning model.  We give you the resources and the support so that you can use your Creation Exercises to design the reality that you crave for yourself and for others.  We are with you in creating a new reality of unity here on earth.  We stand by your side as you design these realities that will bring humanity back to its original design.
