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.

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.

What is a Modern Indigen?

by Elektra Porzel

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Want to take this deeper dive with me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Time: 9amPT -10:30amPT

Stepping Out of Your NOW and into Your Future by Elektra Porzel

What happens in your body when you read the title of this article?

Stomach clenching?

Bile rising in your throat?

Excitement rising?

Eyes brightening with anticipation?

For many of us, the thought that we could design our life is a bit scary.

How could we possibly know what the right choices are?

After all, our entire lives others have told us what we should do, must do to survive and thrive in this lifetime. We have listened to them. We also have followed patterns of behavior that at one time felt ‘right’ for us,

Sometimes we followed the advice of the others. Sometimes we did walk our own path but then found that that path no longer fit what we wanted out of life. Seem familiar?

With those thoughts in mind, the team at the Institute started to be interested in how people learn and how their needs in learning now might be different than the traditional ways that we were taught in school as youngsters.

So we started a search for new ways of learning. New ways to support people in learning how to use the Templates. We wanted to figure out not a teaching method, but a learning method, that would support people in using the the Templates of the Language of Creation as a tool for becoming all that they craved to be.

We looked at the idea of flipped curriculum where the reading and viewing of information is done by the student in their own paced learning. We thought about how movement of the body helps us to be present to our sentience more easily,

Then we settled on a title for a new program that combined both of the above, flipped curriculum and a focus on sentience. It’s name…Designing Your Life. I discovered that I couldn’t talk about shifting how others learn to design their lives differently without the same questioning going on in my system. I began to be aware that something was shifting in how I experienced my own life. In my life, I couldn’t help become more aware that something was missing for me.

You might be asking, why would I share this? Aren’t I supposed to touting how wonderful my life is because I use the Templates?

I suppose that you are correct. If I was writing a standard marketing piece, I would only talk about how fabulous my life is…all due to writing the Templates.

Yeah, I could have done that. Instead I chose to be honest with you.

Just like me, you may have been unconscious to the fact that how you live your life is not how you would like to live your life. There is not the levels of joy, or excitement or peace that you would love to have.

I have started on my own journey to shift my patterns of living by paying attention to my sentient awareness. I hope that you do too! So that we all can live our lives as the unique and essential gifts that we are to this planet and to humanity,

Let your body and mind talk to you.

Let your body and mind niggle at you as you contemplate the idea of having more of the life that you crave.

Let the yearning in,

Let the wondering in,

Then take the next step…and

I am joined by three others who are deep in creating this program and designing their own lives. Liz Geyer, Lori Candon, and Victoria McMahon brings years of movement practices, creativity practices and of writing their Creation Exercises from the Templates. We are all ready to walk by your side as you discover your next recursion into your unique and essential nature.

Walk Your Existence: Opening Up Into Your Sentient Intelligence by Victoria McMahon

It was April of 2013….a Sunday morning Spirit Hour of tea with Tantra. I was busy writing down these words being offered….

“every cell has a spirit…your liver has a spirit…not every cell is cooperative….give up dominating ourselves …just have to be …being the spirit we are…because spirit can shut us down now as we need to rest, revamp, reorganize……”

“cells are keeping us with soul consciousness awakening whether we are in illusion of getting things done or in the spirit of awakening in ourselves.”

Now, it is August of 2022 at 2:22 am when I am coming across these words again. How spirit guides us in the opening up into sentient intelligence is quite curious. I have been in a listening all weekend for what the language of sentience intelligence is for me is that wishes to be shared.

What is prominent in the words that I heard back in April of 2013 is how I am giving up dominating myself…and instead being the spirit I am…the cells of this body are keeping me with soul consciousness awakening whether I am in illusion of getting things done or in the spirit of awakening. This is so evident for me as I am inspirited while the bodymind is doing the physical tasks required to sell one home and move across the country to land in another home.

Being the spirit we are…what is the access point or points that guide us into this place of being? It is our sentient intelligence internal communication system that opens us up into the essential nature or design of who we remember ourselves to be.

Tantra’s definition of Sentient Intelligence – “The resonant language of creation that bonds all that exists into one cohesive whole. This is the intelligence, when picked up….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.”

How does one open up this internal communication system? Let’s consider the possibilities of how we listen into our internal communication system. Listening is observing and observing is listening. Observing what? We observe our experiences….what occurs in the course of daily living. What we pay attention to or listen for….and then there is what we are not paying attention to or listening for.

For some of us, the dominant way we listen may be from the experience of mental perception. Experience is the metapoint between the spirit and flesh. Our perceptions of the reality in which we find ourselves is interpreted through our senses…our sentient intelligence. So, when we are in observing and listening through active sensory awareness, we develop our internal communication system and a deeper coherence of mental perception embeds in the neural pathways of the mind. This is when we know our thinking mind is operating in connection with Creation.

For some of us, the dominant way we listen may be from the experience of physical sentience. Experience as the metapoint of spirit and flesh , the perceiving occurs in the physical nature of the being and then mental perception arises in accordance with the experience of the body sensation and sensitivities. Our perception of reality and internal communication system is observed and listening to through the body and perception may have language or there may not be the language of words….only the language of felt knowing. So, when we are in observing and listening through body sensory awareness, we develop our deeper coherence of sensate perception that is in congruence with the sensate world/realities around us. This is when we know our felt experience is operating in connection with Creation.

The magic for all of us is to be in our unique and essential design of who we remember ourselves to be only asks us to observe and listen for how we access the synergy of both operating systems simultaneously, to become the greater wholeness of who we are. While our tendencies may be one way, the gift is to expand the broader, wider, deeper of the other way. Do you know what your own personal sentient intelligence is? It is a communication system you were born with. It is what you used before you had language.

Being in Regeneration of Self and Body by Elektra Porzel

What is Generation?

– relating to or capable of production or reproduction.

“the female reproductive system and its generative cycles”

– having the power or function of generating, originating, producing, or reproducing.

What is it to regenerate our Self…our Original Design?

In the LOC Institute, when we use the upper-case ‘S’ in the word Self, we are referring an inclusionary field that holds both the historic personality ‘self’ and our larger Spirit embodied. We also call this field, our MetaSelf. As our MetaSelf, the dominant vibration is that of the individual’s Spirit. This vibration in the embodiment is moving the human back into its original design of its body and its Spirit. The Original Design of humanity includes our body in an expanded strength, stamina, and capacity to BE whom we came here to be. In this process of becoming our MetaSelf, we stand in this higher frequency of our Spirit embodied, and our cells vibrate such that the sludge of the reality of separation moves out of our cells, our tissues, our organs, our bones. This cellular cleansing even occurs down to our cell’s electrons and quarks. In this cleansing and the cellular return to its original design, the body can return to the original functions of its design. And our Spirit can inhabit our body so that we live what we came here to Be, Do and Have.

Regeneration definitions

Regeneration is a common function in the biological world: ‘the natural process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs and even entire body parts to the full function in plants and animals.’

Since it is accepted fact that the body knows about regeneration of its biological components, we can assume that this biological regeneration process that is stimulated by the higher frequencies of our Spirit, our MetaSelf, is initiated to make all cells, from the quark on up to organs, brains, and bones, capable of operating effectively within the higher frequencies of our original design.

From the theological view, there is this definition from 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 1:23 that describes this regeneration of our Spirit embodied. (I have modified its language) “the impartation of divine life which is manifested in that radical change in the moral character of the human into love of God/Goddess/Creation/Great Spirit and a life of righteousness/godliness/principled/reverence”

Thus, our Spirit regeneration has been experienced before in our human history. Our Spirit and are bodies can return to their original design.

How do we experience this regeneration of our original design and our MetaSelf?

First you must be curious, paying attention to how you are being in the world. You may use any number of modalities to regularly listen to your body, your emotions, and your languaging so that you can shift out of historic reactions to make choice in how you act with others. This listening and paying attention will shift your viewpoint to that of the Observer. Thus, you can change your actions and your responses and the results that you experience in the world. You become able to behave differently in the world. Your changed behaviors change the results you achieve in relationships to yourself, to others and to your Source.

In the Language of Consciousness Institute, we utilize the Templates of the Language of Creation to become familiar with our biological registers for resonance, for life-enhancing and life-generating language. We become the Observer and the Craver. We write our Cravings into direct communication with our Spirit and with Creation. The regular writing of our Creation Exercises sets us into a continuous realignment with our Spirit’s purpose for our life in this lifetime. We share with others our ahas, our challenges and our joys from working with the Templates. We are connected and interconnected in a matrix of connection with all life on earth and with the greater forces of the universe visible and invisible. Eventually some individuals have become fully aligned with their Spirit and with Creation. It is in this alignment that we experience the resonance of our Spirit embodied.

The reality that we crave has many complexities for each of us and is always vibrating within a reality of unity. That reality of unity is a field of higher dimensions that holds all that exists visible and invisible. As we inhabit this embodiment of our Spirit, the regeneration of our bodies begins. In talking with individuals who have experienced the higher resonance of their MetaSelf, they described the experience as: a higher vibration of the body and the field around it; of a sense of ‘this is right’, ‘I am held’ and the sense that these larger forces ‘have my back.’ A calmness and surety are also present. They also experienced physical symptoms of fatigue, sleepiness, symptoms of dis-ease such as coughing, colds, headaches etc. as the cells of their body are cleansed. The cleansing of the physical body can take many variations and will occur for each of us if we want to stand in our original design. In the resultant state, we are more capable of being whom we came here to be, what we came to do and what we would come to have.

How to be with another in the field of a Generative Force like Creation?

We cannot do this alone. You must be part of a larger field in order to become your MetaSelf. Energetically it takes a generative matrix to hold you while you do your individual work. Yes, you will be observing your own actions, reactions. You will be choosing different behaviors as you become more aware of whom you deeply want to be in the world. Yes, you will be writing your own Creation Exercises. To be with others in the field can be accomplished by joining and being active in a larger field of individuals that are active in the same kind of search. The Language of Consciousness Institute’s community and the Field of Tantra Maat are two such groups that would support you as you engage in becoming whom you came here to be.

Proposal

We are moving beyond old norms and behaviors as we seek to BE whom we came here to be. This is true for individuals and organizations. Below is our take on the culture that we hope to create thru the Language of Consciousness Institute.

The LOC Institute and its community form a generative foundation which provides a field within which the intrinsic power of humans in alignment with the Creation and their larger Spirit work together to generate, originate, produce, and develop a culture based in a reality of unity where diversity and complexity are both necessary and intrinsic to the continuous evolution of the culture and its people; where the unique and essential capabilities and capacities of each human are respected and supported in all functions within that resulting culture; where the people exist in community each in alignment with their own resonant nature and with the larger field within which they exist. That culture consists of customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements which embody a generative consistency in how its people act, think, evolve and work together. A generative matrix is thus formed that holds the weavings of the complex and diverse forms that arise in this generative culture.

Our Body and Our Spirit are One by Elektra Porzel

When I was in catholic elementary school, the nuns would say that our body was a temple of the soul. Inwardly I would roll my eyes as this statement was usually stated along with cautions about boys. No advice on nutrition or exercise or listening to your inner guidance! Just don’t sit on their laps!

Now over sixty years later I am now comprehending the larger meaning of this phrase. Our body does house our soul. Our body speaks to us not just of trauma. It now speaks to us of the integration of our Spirit, our larger Being, in a more conscious way for us.

If you are experiencing symptoms of dis-ease recently, maybe it is not the old trauma history talking. Perhaps it is the adjustment of your body to the higher vibrations of your Spirit.

You are on a journey of a return to your original design. On that journey, you must learn to listen to your body, your mind and your Spirit’s voice. You must also seek support from others. With another in the field, your capacity to hold these higher vibrations will grow. You are building your strength, stamina and capacity for the embodiment of your Spirit.

There are several ways that you can support yourself during these times.

Yes, seek out all the support that you can to help balance your physical body’s reconfiguring…Homeopathics, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Naturopaths, chiropractors.
Yes, you should be writing the Observing and Craving Templates to help you discern what thoughts best support you on this journey. Write these at least weekly.
Seek out your allies at this tipping point of your transmutation.
Listen to the April 29th YouTube talk on Tantra’s CreateAWorld channel to get more comprehension about this wobbly and wonderful transmutation that we are experiencing.

All I know is that we are in a shift. Not towards the life-defeating, but towards what is life-generating and life-enhancing. Trust that. Open up to this new conversation with your body as a beginner. The messages of trauma will quiet and the messages of hope and opening up to ‘who you are’ will get louder for you.

Perhaps this dance of connection of our body with our Spirit is not just the turning point of our Spirit with our human body. Perhaps this dance of connection is species wide. Perhaps it is the dance of humanity and our one Human Soul bringing us back to our original design with Mother Earth as our midwife.

Join us in conversation whenever you can…we seek to be in connection with you as you seek to be connected to others in the field.
