Let’s take a look at what has occurred in the field of Tantra Maat, in the field of the Spirals of Being and in each of our fields over this summer 2019. There is an intensity now in our shared field that many recognize and do not know how to name it. Some call it tension, some call it anxiety, some call it a sense of expansion and wonder, and some call it an unknown place that they have no language for.
What has occurred has impacted all of us. You may be a direct participant in one of the activities, or were linked to one of the direct participants or were a member of the Spirals of Being. In any case, our sensitivity, our sensation and our imagination has shifted and now holds a deeper awareness than we can sometimes not even acknowledge.
What did happen that has expanded and deepened our field so much?
First there was a trip to Gargano where, over 40 years ago, Falco and the Damanhurians held viaggios to work with time. 14 spiral members participated. There we connected with spirals on the plateau, special caves of meditation, the beings of the oceans that came to play with us, local sacred sites and a sacred forest. Those 14 souls were connected to members of the Spirals. The openings the 14 experienced directly impacted the others that they were linked to. Waves of energy entered our fields and we directly experienced the shifts as the new realities started to move out our old ideas of reality. In my field, I experienced propriception issues that didn’t not cease until my Initiation into the School of Meditation the following week. So I alternated a full spectrum of emotion from agitation and irritation to joy and excitement.
Then 12 of our Spiral members went on to Damanhur and participated in an intense deepening into the sacred mysteries of Damanhur that culminated in our initiation into the School of Meditation of Damanhur. It was a profound experience to step into that energetic field. Tears ran down our faces as we each experienced this large field of support that awaited us. Tears of gratitude and tears of opening to this support. In addition to those individuals receiving that gift, the field of Tantra Maat was also brought into the temple as part of the Damanhur. So even if you did not participate or were not individually linked to someone on this trip, you were and are part of a field that moved into a sacred supportive field. This touched us all more profoundly than we recognize. Initially I experienced physically being both my unique and essential self AND an integrated part of the larger fields of the Spirals and of Damanhur. There were sensations in my body and also in my sense of what my field included and what I was included within.
Then the calls for June, July and now August. Listen to them, again and again. The course, Timeless Time, took us to a new etheric space where our dreams can be expanded and protected. Buy it and listen to it, again and again. We can call this process of mixing together new experiences that have resulted from all these events ‘making stone soup’. We as individuals and as a group are in a new landscape creating the futures that we craved. Let’s share how we each are making our ‘stone soup’.
The Advocates will lead the Tools to Thrive in August 2019 sharing their experiences of the new realities arising in their lives, and how their experience of resonance, of sensation, sensitivity and imagination are helping them sustain and maintain the larger landscapes that they now access as they move to their next greater whole.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” -Walt Disney
Walt Disney was a man before his time. He was forever stepping way out in front, down new paths of curiosity to create magic. He was a visionary, and such an amazing imaginer! Our curiosity in these times can take us down some amazing new paths, if we just let our imaginations open us up into what could be.
Have you noticed that during this quiet time in winter, you have the wish to burrow in and just be still? I know I do! Yet, there are so many pathways to explore, and opening myself up to these pathways as I write the Creation Exercises is a beautiful way to spend a winter’s eve…or morning. By craving our curiosity and innocence, we are opening up new pathways to possibilities that aren’t even in the scope of our imagination right now. I know that I have to keep reminding myself of my words to practice what I speak here. I have to push myself to move in the direction of craving my own curiosity because sometimes this lifetime gets in the way of my innocent ‘explorer’ natures.
What if? What if we just played a bit? I realized yesterday that I have been taking myself and life way too seriously lately. I see that I had my head down with my shoulder to the grindstone, pushing hard. I saw myself in a box with just a small peephole. So…observing this, in this blog, let’s play! I am going to write a recursion to crave curiosity in this blog and see what happens. I will report my findings after I write the exercise. Here goes:
C1: Craving innocence and curiosity creates a bridge to find the rainbow. Creating a bridge to find the rainbow sustains and maintains colorful pathways leading to brand new flavors of life. Sustaining and maintaining colorful pathways leading to brand new flavors of life embodies new scents, sensations, and delicious recipes for art.
C2: Craving innocence and curiosity creates flowers, birds and trees never before seen. Creating flowers, birds and trees never before seen sustains and maintains a rich landscape of colorful forests where everything there is edible. Sustaining and maintaining a rich landscape of colorful forests where everything is edible embodies a beautiful, self-sustaining space to sit and dream in.
C3: Craving innocence and curiosity creates music coming from spheres in the sky and reverberating throughout the land. Creating music coming from spheres in the sky and reverberating throughout the land sustains and maintains all plants and animals singing along, growing brightly and all friendly and wanting to play with anyone who comes near them. Sustaining and maintaining all plants and animals singing along, growing brightly and all friendly and wanting to play with anyone who comes near them embodies a high vibratory environment pulsing with new excitement and life.
CC: Craving new scents, sensations, and delicious recipes for art creates a beautiful, self-sustaining space to sit and dream in. Creating a beautiful,self-sustaining space to sit and dream in sustains and maintains a high vibratory environment pulsing with new excitement and life. Sustaining and maintaining a high vibratory environment pulsing with new excitement and life embodies a brand new environment where we can sit and be with life, nourished fully.
Wow…that was fun! I will say it was difficult at first…I had to really trick my brain into playing. But my being definitely feels lighter for a number of reasons. One, I gave myself permission to play and to freely express myself, and that felt good. Two, I gave myself permission to slog through the ‘stuff’ that seemed to have piled up in my brain, and as the exercise continued, I felt a flow coming back. Sometimes writing these exercises feels like it is so dense to wade through all of the language in our heads! But look, now, I am somewhat cleared for the next curiosity to unfold.
Writing a simple craving on curiosity now gives my being a new wish to explore further. Who knows what may happen now? When I focus on this aspect of life, moving forward and having what there is to have is possible and leads me to where I wish to go next.
So snuggle into winter and play a little…we all need it! Blessings to you all!
