Coming Full Circle
About seven years ago, I began teaching the art of visualization taught by wolves and nature. My reflections on alchemy confirmed it as a method used in Hermetics. It’s simply the accompaniment of positive emotions with an intense visual held with deep concentration in the mind’s eye for a specific period of time on a daily basis. Of course, it takes faith, intention and the grace of the Creator, but anyone with patience and the proper spiritual connection can do it. (Intentions are sometimes changed by the universe, but happiness in life increases with the presentation of the desired outcome.)
Frequency is the rate of vibration of particles in our being. When our frequency increases, we perceive more light and experience more of the love vibration. The whole point is about developing a spiritual life based on love and the development of the inner self. As we learn about the aspects of life that resonate with the soul, we drop many illusory desires. We discover the true happiness of life aligned with the soul, the flow of the universe and the secret esoteric patterns of mystical love.
Based on this reasoning, it seemed likely that we’d enjoy the time around 2012. The Mayan calendar ended, and the long awaited Precession of Ages is here. Solar flares and geo-magnetic shifts support co-creation. Intention gains strength when the structures on earth are less stable (McTaggert, The Intention Experiment.) It should be easy to create a new Eden with the number of increasingly evolved light workers on the earth, but many people report episodes of physical exhaustion, emotional overwhelm and a periodic inability to stay focused on personal intention.
Having shared a few of the same symptoms, I’ve taken a deeper look at the evolutionary curve. A large number of people are awakening on the earth as evidenced by the interest in metaphysics, psychic healing, Reiki, gem stones and angels. Our vibratory level increases regularly. One of the interesting facets of spiritual awakening lies in the realization that life does not just happen. We create constantly; create, witness, or participate in our expression of “reality.”
The odd part is the slow realization of awakening to the results of personal co-creation. No one could deny that we tend to have the same thoughts, schedule, and pattern every day. It’s not too surprising when life becomes repetitive. There’s also the strange factor of people putting far more energy into the negative as opposed to the positive. Breaking the pattern changes the flow of life.
There are number of pertinent factors affecting the course of life on the individual, group and global level including:
1) The amplification and acceleration – a sensation of life events speeding up and the increased feeling of emotion and sensation.
2) The increase of light – imparts a desire to connect more deeply to life and move into love. It also makes the body tired and can give a feeling of depression when lacking spiritual connection.
3) Geo-magnetic shifts – the physical body needs grounding at regular intervals. Time in nature (along with good food, vitamins, water and exercise) is required to have adequate physical energy to meet the demands of the increasing light.
4) The demand of becoming co-creators – means maintaining a spiritual connection, moving toward compassion, developing gifts and learning how to envision with positive emotion. With the ever fluctuating energies, we feel differently during several portions of the day. For example, we may feel enthused after meditation or exercise but feel our vibration decline after a business meeting, dinner with friends or family or routine tasks.
5) Mass consciousness – the darker side of consciousness typically increases or comes toward us when we’re working with karma. In this case, we’re working with a long, dark, global sleep so it’s not surprising to hear negative news or logical discouragement from the other side (or even more enlightened friends prior to a breakthrough or big shift.)
The Awakening
When people awaken, they experience an increase in their light level. The first sensation is usually reflected by the opening of the heart chakra, the infusion of unconditional love. It’s incredibly wonderful and blissful to experience the garden of the heart, the virtual Eden of the inner self.
If we proceed with the process, it becomes even better. We see “first matter” or the underlying light in the world. Any doubt about the goodness of the light is forever washed away, but it’s not easy.
When light illumines everything, we may feel it in the body or though erratic thought or emotion. (This is the reason that meditation is so important – it gives stability.) The cells alter their patterns, which can stress the body. The light may seem eager to show us our emotional fluctuations or addictions to pain, which may pass in time. Following the light takes discipline and causes a certain amount of stress because the choice to continue on the path takes courage and determination. It means continually choosing one thing over another and letting go of a great deal — like people, self-identity and associations with the old self. It also means relying on the light when deep in the darkness without a direction or clue to the next step.
It’s a clearing out process that takes time, but the light level amplifies regularly. It’s not easy to align with the light and too uncomfortable to stay separate from it. Sometimes there is a moment-to-moment need to choose the light and higher emotions when simply living from hour to hour. Each individual awakening contributes to the growing light level. As the global light increases, we’re forced to take a look at our personal karma and how we create our reality.
Most people become aware of their ability as a co-creator as awakening heightens. They notice how life’s ebb and flow increasingly responds to their thoughts, moods and reactions. In Tibetan dream yoga, it’s said that the consciousness of awakened beings affects the world more. Our more casual thoughts can alter matter. Thinking positively or negatively about a person is a transmission of energy. Day dreaming or asking questions can call in a series of events. It’s helpful to ask hopeful questions – for example, asking for the feeling of a fulfilled dream instead of feeling the frustration of a problem.
Core patterns or deep problems course repetitively and are usually surrounded by particular stimuli – a phenomenon demonstrated in the movie, Ground Hog Day. The Ground Hog Day effect brings negative events around in a cyclical fashion. It means not running away from problems but facing them. On the positive side, recurring problems often bring a desire to change. Anything becomes better than feeling the same emotions and seeing the same scenes repeatedly. On a deeper level, our personal karma plays a role. It takes time to detach from deep impressions of life.
There’s also a certain pressure to fulfill our dharma or practical purpose on the earth. For those who are searching, it’s important to know that any work involving the heart helps everyone. It’s amplified by consciously sending light and love to others. This simple practice helps in finding the way to the expression of inner purpose.
Heart-learned Lessons about Co-Creation
By following these steps for a week or more, you’ll create a higher state of frequency. You’ll learn to become happier too. One of my biggest wake-up calls came when I began observing the events following my more disharmonious moods. If I changed my mood, life changed its course. If I changed my thoughts and attitude, circumstances changed quickly.
These directions – if you read between the lines – are about developing love and learning how your soul feels to you. Everyone experiences the sensations and emotions related to the soul differently. You must find the individuation of your soul. For example, when teaching art, I found that many people identify a single color as a variety of combinations of color. Magenta could be bright purple, pink-purple or deep red depending on the viewer. The same holds true in manifestation.
You must find how the perfection of life feels and appeals to you and then project it. This is the essence of the soul. Forget about The Secret and becoming a millionaire. Find out who you are and move in that direction. Your personal pot of gold comes from this feeling, not someone else’s projection of wealth.
If you truly desire a substantial shift of your life, then listen to your inner dialog and learn how to change it. If you’re honest, then you’ll make the same discovery that I did. Life doesn’t work when focusing on mundane, negative events. It’s a lot easier than pushing yourself to change, which you will do automatically if you follow the steps I’ve outlined.
JULIA’s Ten Steps:
1) Start with visualization. (You do it all of the time. You’re just not conscious.) Visualize the desired event or happening as a beautiful dream. Linger in the dream. Add your favorite background, soft gentle feelings and see it clearly.
2) Learn to substitute your vision for the hard-edged ones – the fleeting moments when money is lacking, a lover’s quarrel, a misunderstanding, or a crazy day going in the wrong direction. The focus on uncertain, chaotic and negative feelings creates more of the same. Stop pushing and reacting, rest and stay in the visualization for 5-10 minutes. It’s the opposite of a Type A personality reaction.
3) Use the physical senses and emotions to make the dream more real than current sensory input. For example, you see a problem and wonder how to fix it. Let the universe come to you with all of its wonder. See the positive outcome without the worry or work. The universe will supply the how.
4) Learn to edit the internal dialog, the constant chatter of the mind. A few easy tricks: see order in the place of disorder, everything happening with right timing, money appearing constantly, people speaking gently and kindly to you, great understanding from the world, little traffic, and short waits in line. The small practice sessions teach consistency with larger issues.
5) Stop thinking that anything is happening to you. See yourself as a partial creator. Some part of you tapped into the moment of the horrifying broadcast on the news, heard the negative gossip, or became anxious when reading an article. Ho’oponopono, the Kahuna art, suggests forgiving and loving this part of this self while taking responsibility for finding the information. (I also recommend seeing the opposite. If I hear bad news about the economy or politics, I see a new global system of abundance for everyone and global peace. I figure it’s important to focus the energy. Energy is energy, after all.)
6) Learn to see the good in people. Everyone reflects an aspect of the self. When you forgive the part of others that offends or wants to cause pain, you forgive that aspect of yourself. You don’t have to spend time with them. You’re working toward the freedom of higher consciousness.
7) Learn to recognize happiness. It’s fleeting and it comes on the wave of the moment. You may find it in the warmth of your teacup or the waving of the leaves of the trees. You may it find in music or in the tones of a friend’s voice, but don’t ignore it. Happiness is closely related to love. These small slices of life reflect your soul and inner magic. It’s how you successfully create your reality already.
8) Learn how to send light to yourself, others and the world. Begin with a favored color and learn how to imagine it flooding through your field. Use a vase, stone or favorite color in a painting and imagine the color surrounding your auric field. When you’ve conquered the first step, send light to others.
9) Explore your intuition. Choose three or four intuitions daily and act on them. When are you listening to your higher self? When does the inner voice come from the ego?
10) Think of learning to write the alphabet, repeat the multiplication tables or tying your shoe. How many times did it take? Practice often and enjoy the time spent in daily devotion.
The Learning Curve
The “things” that we want so passionately exist for a reason. Our heart or inner self pushes us toward them. Like a child who chooses piano over the violin or horseback riding instead of gymnastics, our true desires lead toward expansion with a real urge for self-expression and joy lies behind them. We want the enthusiasm, the excitement and fulfillment, coming from the thrust of the soul. Nothing else can do this for us – the desire opens the door of imagination and possibility.
Co-creation is an act of courage. It teaches us to find and love our inner self. Love amplifies everything. Think about falling in love – colors, shapes and tones become more intense. We see and feel everything more deeply. With many people awakening at one time, we don’t know what our thoughts or feelings can trigger when accompanied by the thoughts and energy of a thousand or more people – maybe impossible good? Sometimes it’s better to look at it with softer eyes, to realize that we are learning about love.
