It wasn't until after Einstein discovered the principle of Relativity,
That we could even begin to appreciate that,
As we approach the speed of light,
Mass and energy begin to exchange qualities.
The boundaries differentiating them begin to blur.
Concepts of time, space, matter, energy and light
Are all different types of a larger/faster dynamic --
Pure thought.
They are all "thought-in-motion",
And they are inextricably inter-related;
Not one of these concepts has any meaning
Independently of the others.
Some kinds of consciousness (e.g. labelled negative, material, victim...)
Create experiences mainly at the slower-vibrating velocity end of the scale.
Another, higher-vibrating kind of consciousness (e.g. labelled positive, spiritual, creative, quantum....) is required
If we want to effectively deal with events
In which our whole lexicon of ideas, beliefs and expectations about space, time, reality and unreality, morality, ethics, social consciousness,
Get turned inside-out.
The energies needed to deal creatively with such upheavals
Belong to another dimension,
Than the one we're in when our world shifts and shakes.
And our minds are not going to cross those boundaries --
Not ahead of us, anyway.
Pioneering is not on the Mind's job description.
For breakthrough
We need to get out of mind
And open up to intuition and inspiration.
If we're not happy where we are,
We have to welcome and allow any energies
That disturb our existing stability
And shuck us out of our shell.
This is where our mind goes NUTS! --
"Stability = Good: Instability = Bad"!!! has been so deeply and unquestioningly ingrained in our consciousness,
We never question whether we've been looking at the truth,
Or a mirror-reversal of it.........
"Instability = Good; Stability = OK for R & R, but not forever"
Look, we all started this conscious life with a traumatic, chaotic upheaval (birth).
But we got so scared by that, we missed the fact that life post partem has been much fuller, freer, more exciting, and still packs a lot more possibility.
A shakeup of the existing condition
And a radical shift of location to a bigger womb (that didn't feel like "womb")
Were the price of utterly new possibility --
And still are.
It's the spice of the adventure of being alive --
Enjoy it!
And if you can't enjoy it,
Enjoy not-enjoying it.
At the very least, you know you're alive!
There has to be some kind of breakdown
Before a break-through.
Whether it's subtle or cataclysmic
Depends on how quickly you get the message.
Any forces that dis-ease our equilibrium
Are a good start to the process,
But we do have to venture further.
Without an accompanying complete Shift of being,
We're just jerking around on the spot,
Having a bad time, for no good reason,
And getting the same old quality of results
That go with the level of consciousness we're stuck in.
How do we know when a Shift has happened?
Well, an "A-hah!" is a good sign;
A moment when we change our mind about something,
A dawning that comes from seeing something differently.
It may be the moment when we move from feeling victimised by our dis-eases
To allowing our self to be re-defined by what's going on.
That switch of perspective is, firstly and usually
An act of grace,
Then a daily personal, deliberate choice,
At least until it replaces the old way of seeing and reacting.
Higher, more inclusive energy states
Manifest better quality results.
Our dis-eases, relieved of resistance,
Lose their toxicity.
We can see more options,
And we're better able to make choices
In harmony with the whole.
When we're immersed in conflict with dis-ease
We're usually unaware of engaging in a parallel fight
With subtler, more powerful levels of consciousness
Because we've become deadened to their existence
And inured to the resulting chronic en-heavyment.
But that is precisely what's happening --
We're at war with our own evolutionary destiny.
We're resisting Paradise
Because we have a mistaken idea
About what the road to the Emerald City should look like .
It is the role of the awakened healer
To provide by his/her simple presence
The contrast of inner silence, insight and clarity
To others who've forgotten that it exists.
It is also the healer's role
To lead those who seek
To a place where they are either invited or challenged
To Shift to a place where they can see where they're stuck
And realise that their deepest longings are ready and available.
But, like the old adage about leading a horse to water,
The seeker has to actually create that shift:
No-one can do that for him.
Every individual is 100% accountable for his situation
And 100% responsible for his own growth.
Transformation is like dying
Out of an old way of being
Into a radically new consciousness.
If we can make that transition
Before the dis-eases of being human usher us to physical death,
We get to enjoy the prize -- enlightenment while we're still conscious.
Heaven on earth is just as possible
As the hell most of us put ourselves through
In the search for it.
Transforming can be a bit of a tug-o'-war......
At one end, low-level coarser consciousness is using us to perpetuate itself.
At the same time, a higher awareness in us
Is seeking to extend its evolvement into a finer level of our being --
A level where subtler and more sensitive energies arise
To interplay with the cruder personal dramas, comedies, exaggerations and contractions already familiar to us.
Existence is continually expanding, and balancing itself, cosmically and personally.
But we resist the move to expand
Because we fear it.
At the first twinges of discomfiture, out of sheer habit,
We go looking for the Causes and Cures....
Find out what's wrong,
Find out how it should work,
And fix it....
Isn't that how we do it?
This is such a narrow sliver of truth!
It completely overlooks the possibility
That discomfiture may be a symptom of something going right!
It overlooks the existence in human experience
Of entertainments like hurdles, unexpected detours, delays, blind alleys, hidden surprises, red herrings,
Sudden insights, quantum leaps, linear evolution, genius, miracles and flashes of inspiration....
Higher-frequency phenomena without causes
And no need of cures,
Or explanations.
Such "miracles" are nature's invitation
To get out of our heads more often
And live longer in wonder
And enjoy the adventure we came for.
Free yourself:
Open up.
Relax.
Seek not just to live,
But to live absolutely
Over the fullest spectrum of experience you can allow.
Then let go some more,
And more,
And more.....
