What is calling you? by Claudia Jones

, , , , , , , , , , 0

Lately I have found myself returning to some of the themes we have been exploring this year.

They remain important and alive for me, yet I find myself wondering what is moving now.

We have spent some months talking about authenticity, self-trust, authority, sovereignty, and becoming ourselves. Those conversations continue to unfold because so many of us are still exploring “who we are in the matter.” The process feels less like finding an answer and more like coming into recognition through experience. Through what draws us. Through what touches us. Through what continues to ask for our attention.

The Year of the Fire Horse has brought me back to this again and again. Resonance. Fascination. Curiosity. The things that seem to carry energy for each of us respectively. The things we return to without effort. The places where something in us comes alive.

I find there is wisdom in paying attention to those places.

What is it about certain people, ideas, dreams, animals, landscapes, conversations, or experiences that stay with us? What is it that captures our imagination, stirs our hearts, or leaves us feeling more ourselves than we did before? What touches us in a way that gives us OurSelves?

These are showing up now as far more than interests or preferences. They reveal something essential about our nature.

Snake has also continued to be on my mind this month. We often associate Snake with transformation, but what captures my attention in a deeper way right now is the shedding. There comes a point when a skin has carried us as far as it can. The skin is not wrong. It simply belongs to a version of life that has already given us what it came to give.

I wonder if many of us are standing in places like that right now.

Perhaps this shows up less through dramatic changes or life-altering revelations and more through a growing sensitivity to what generates life in us and what does not. A growing awareness of what deepens our connection and what leaves us feeling distant from ourselves.

Perhaps this is one of the gifts of Fire Horse. Along with movement and vitality comes an amplification of aliveness itself. Wherever we feel deeply engaged, fascinated, moved, inspired, or called, there is information.

Horse has been that way for me.

Dreams have been that way for me.

The experience that nothing is separate has been that way for me.

Each one reveals something. It isn’t about arriving at an answer. Something within me responds. Something recognizes itself in the encounter.

Maybe that is one way life introduces us to ourselves.

Through relationship.

Through resonance.

Through the things that continue to generate life within us.

As we move through this month, I am paying attention to those places. What continues to call? What continues to fascinate? What continues to feel meaningful, alive, and worthy of my attention?

There may, indeed, be wisdom there.

And these living experiences are helping each of us recognize who we are in the matter, and our unique place within the larger tapestry of life.

You are invited to join the conversation and share what the Year of the Fire Horse has brought in for you. Our next call will be on Saturday, June 6th, at 9:00 AM PDT.

For Love with Horse by Claudia Jones

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moving With the Five-Point Metapoint-a New Mastermind? Or Magical Marvel? Let’s explore! by Elizabeth Geyer

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

 When I first encountered the thought of even ‘considering’ writing a  five-point metapoint Creation Exercise, I did not see a structure—I felt a chord strike within me, a resonance that gathered scattered parts into a single note of coherence.  Tingles shot through my entire being, literally, fireworks went off like rockets, and the magician in me was giddy with glee!  I have been pondering this deep joy, marveling at the resonance to play with this monadic structure, writing this exercise with a group of equally curious “Field-Writers” and “Language Alchemists”!

Monadic structure has always fascinated me.  Working with five in a group has been my experience, each group bringing with it such a cohesive and humming aliveness!  This living spark, this tiny point of movement into a vast Whole is to be with a pulsing matrix, and being with the thread of, “I am one, indivisible, and also, I am ALL, interconnected…inner connected”!  Writing the five-point metapoint Creation Exercise feels like this humming thread…each petal (word or phrase) distinct, each tone of the chord essential to the Whole.

Moving with the language we are using with this new project we are embarking upon soon, the first petal-Vitality is not only energy or vigor; it is a first ‘inhale’ of being alive!  It is that wonderful shiver WE experience when sunlight touches our skin after a long, darkened night.  Within the five-point metapoint , Vitality is the underlying current that awakens our body into its etheric pulse, reminding Us that our Life is not mechanical, but miraculous!

Ahhh, and next, the petal of Intimacy…I can feel the distances between humans and live beings dissolving.  We are experiencing a new courage to be near others, and to the own tender truths of our Being!  When we look at this moving metapoint, Intimacy is an invitation to be magically touched by the World, Universe and to touch It back, without any defense…the breath that bridges Our Self and Other.

When looking at our third petal, Transparency, we can see clarity…and experience the capacity to allow frequency and light move through Us without distortion.  When we are transparent, we are not empty.  We are luminous!  Transparency is the ether’s truth…lighted through language, allowing the resonance of sound and light to flow and flower without any hindrance.  We experience the light passing through crystalline!

The quiet recognition of Affinity…with this petal, we see We belong with this, and this belongs with Us!  This petal of Affinity taps directly into resonance, creating the connective tissue, teaching us the this is not about conformity, but about the deep hum and recognition of alignment with Self and Others, and says, “I Am Home”!

Within the center is the petal of Love…and what gravity this petal has!  Love brings the points together into new coherence holding vitality, intimacy, transparency and affinity in a new moving orbit.  Love is the monadic center-the elixir for Life to be Whole again!

We are discovering that the five-point metapoint exercise can steady us during turbulent times of transition!  Welcome to a New Era Rodeo, complete with bucking broncos of emotions buckling, and trauma surfacing.  Yet when we sit in the center, within the star of the metapoints, the ride will steady Us.  Our saddle is the coherence itself…hmmm the wildness of the ride did not vanish…it transformed into new rhythm!

As we explore writing a five point Creation Exercise, we will experience a spiral, with each successive recursion pulling Us more deeply into the generativity of Creation.  This is a vortex of becoming…a movement with the matrices of etheric power!

Vitality awakens Us.

Intimacy draws Us near.

Transparency Clears Our Field.

Affinity Weaves The Field Whole.

Love holds It All!

I am the Monad in motion and where the Monad in Motion is, I AM.

I am Creation becoming and where Creation Becoming is, I AM!

Join us beginning on September 29th and Mondays thereafter at 9:00 AM PT, with The Language of Consciousness Institute in writing a moving with 5 point metapoints Creation Exercise to explore a continued expansion of the depth of Field Work!

Declaration of Independence

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

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

Weaving our Voices into Our Nation’s Future

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sound familiar?

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

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

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

It Takes a Village by Elektra Porzel

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

One of the tenets of the field of Tantra Maat is being one with another in the larger field.  While it may be feel off-base, we do prosper in our own individual growth/expansion best when we are part of a group of people who are in similar path.   We grow/expand faster, deeper, wider when connected in a field with others.

Let’s take this back to what you are used to…your historic personality.  We will call it your ‘self’ (lower case ‘s’).  For most of you, that self has not seemed adequate to all that you want to be.  You want to be more.  That more we will call your ‘Self’ (upper case ‘S’).  Your Self is the interface with the everyday world that no longer traps you historically because you know that you are more. In the Magician of Self, we seek to be our Being, our larger Self.

We are Spirit in partnership with our human body.  That Spirit is revealing itself as we seek to access the powers of our Being, to build our capacities into being those capabilities.  We use rituals to hone those capacities and capabilities of our larger Being. Together we support each other in this expansion of Self.  It is with others who are making the same unfolding journey that we see them and honor their deepening into all that they are and that is when we realize that they are doing the same for us.  Together we create a synergy that it only available when we open up to our Selves together.

Your (capital S) Self is the point of perception where the temporal experience of your mortal life and the eternal experience of your immortal existence come together.  The discovery of this Self is in the metapoint of the temporal and the eternal, the secular and the sacred, the biochemical and the alchemical, and more.

All the years of Tantra bringing the Accordion to our attention was for this time…for each of use to realize that we hold within our Self the capacity to be in those metapoints.  The more consciously conscious you become of your Self, the more you begin to observe and experience that you are not static. You are not just your historic personality.  You change, you move, and you are dynamic. We discover our Self in writing our Creation Exercises using Templates 3 & 4.  This is the power of Template 3 and 4 – the restoration of our sentient registers of the Sacred & the Secular, the Alchemical & the Biochemical, the Infinite & the Finite of you.

Lately I have been thinking about different groups of people who have been with me in this ‘being with others in the field’.  There was the Tiers then the Spirals.  There is now the WhatsApp FOTM and the classes such as Unpacking, Guardians, Magicians of Self.  There is one group that has lasted for the last eight years and that is the Language of Consciousness Institute.  For 8 years a varying group of people have worked as a team to create the products and programs that we offer. I have been blest with being with women who craved to have more people have access to the use of the Templates.  My deepest gratitude goes out to each of the women mentioned below, for all the hours they spent in planning, discussion, creation of new programs and in delivery of our programs.

Melinda Davies and Alex Pidgley first met with Tantra in Fall 2015 to create the mission and vision of the Institute.  They created the first website and hoped to lead the institute to a large audience. I was brought into the mix in February 2016 as the Director of the Institute.  Our first teaching team included myself, Liz Geyer, Sahere Hum, and Melissa Spangle.  We spent the summer and fall being guided by Tantra to create the curriculum for a two-day course on Templates 1 & 2 which we delivered in late fall 2016 and in 2017.  Melissa became our tech person and created many of the graphics in our videos that we still use today.  Maru Orozco, Victoria MacMahon, Beryl McCandless joined the team in 2018.  Maru worked with Spanish speakers in offering training on the Templates and translated our Guidebooks into Spanish. Beryl offered sounding sessions, created the glyphs for each Template and was a one of the three teachers of our Curiodyssey program along with Liz and Victoria.  In 2020 the Institute worked with Tantra to deliver the GOD Matrix series.  In 2021 we delivered a Self-Study series which included a focus on movement and sentience along with utilizing the Creation Exercises to create the life that you crave.  Lori Candon joined our team in 2022 and along with Victoria created programs around sentience, movement, and the Creation Exercises.

Tantra brought our focus into Embodiment in fall 2022 and Liz Geyer started the Unpacking series that have continued for a year and a half.  Deborah Merchant joined the team in 2022.  We started offering book discussion groups in 2022 as conversations began to be our opening up into the ‘more’ process. Our conversations opened us up to not only the author’s insights and more so into what priceless Beings that we are.  It is in conversation that we deepen our own knowing and widen our comprehension of the matrices of life that the other participants bring to the conversation.  Throughout the years we have created projects to support writers in either using a larger field to support their writing or using the field to expand our comprehension through deeper conversations.

This spring our team consists of myself, Liz, and Deb as we offer monthly presentations on each of the Templates.  As we created presentations on each of the Templates, we utilize PowerPoints some of which were developed in 2016 and 2017.  Every product and program that we have created has been built on the work of our previous teams.  I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each of them for their contributions and to thank everyone who has come to our programs.  We have found that it is in these conversations that we all have grown and deepened our comprehension of what it is to become our larger Self with the support of writing our Creation Exercises.

It is indeed with others in the field that we all grow and expand in our capacities to BE our larger Self.

Coming Home by Elektra Porzel

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

What is home to you?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cost: $89

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

register to join me in Designing Your Life.

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.
