Clinging to the Core

Clinging to the Core When Our World Falls Apart

"When external factors shift we have an opportunity to rediscover our core which is the only truly safe place to call home.

There are times when our whole world seems to be falling apart around us, and we are not sure what to hold onto anymore. Sometimes our relationships crumble and sometimes it’s our physical environment. At other times, we can’t put our finger on it, but we feel as if all the walls have fallen down around us and we are standing with nothing to lean on, exposed and vulnerable. These are the times in our lives when we are given an opportunity to see where we have established our sense of identity, safety, and well-being. And while it is perfectly natural and part of our process to locate our sense of self in externals, any time those external factors shift, we have an opportunity to rediscover and move closer to our core, which is the only truly safe place to call home.

The core of our being is not affected by the shifting winds of circumstance or subject to the cycles of change that govern physical reality. It is as steady and consistent as the sun, which is why the great mystics and mystical poets often reference the sun in their odes to the self. Like the sun, there are times when our core seems to be inaccessible to us, but this is just a misperception. We know that when the sun goes behind a cloud or sets for the night, it has not disappeared but is simply temporarily out of sight. In the same way, we can trust that our inner core is always shining brightly, even when we cannot quite see it.

We can cling to this core when things around us are falling  apart, knowing that an inexhaustible light shines from within ourselves. Times of external darkness can be a great gift in that they provide an opportunity to remember this inner light that shines regardless of the circumstances of our lives."

-Madisyn Taylor

Beyond Thinking

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We live our lives pursuing happiness "out there" as if it is a commodity. We have become slaves to our own desires and craving. 
Happiness isn't something that can be pursued or purchased like a cheap suit. This is Maya, illusion, the endless play of form. In the Buddhist tradition, Samsara, or the endless cycle of suffering is perpetuated by the craving of pleasure and aversion to pain. Freud referred to this as the "pleasure principle." Everything we do is an attempt to create pleasure, to gain something that we want, or to push away something that is undesirable that we don't want. Even a simple organism like the paramecium does this. 
It is called response to stimulus. Unlike a paramecium, humans have more choice. We are free to think, and that is the heart of the problem. It is the thinking about what we want that has gotten out of control.The dilemma of modern society is that we seek to understand the world, not in terms of archaic inner consciousness, but by quantifying and qualifying what we perceive to be the external world by using scientific means and thought. Thinking has only led to more thinking and more questions. We seek to know the innermost forces which create the world and guide its course. But we conceive of this essence as outside of ourselves, not as a living thing, intrinsic to our own nature. It was the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung who said, "one who looks outside dreams, one who looks inside awakes." It is not wrong to desire to be awake, to be happy. What is wrong is to look for happiness outside when it can only be found inside.

The Golden Mean

The primordial spiral is the manifested world, while Akasha is the unmanifested, or emptiness itself. All of reality is an interplay between these two things; Yang and Yin, or consciousness and matter. The spiral has often been represented by the snake, the downward current, while the bird or blooming lotus flower has represented the upward current or transcendence.The ancient traditions taught that a human being can become a bridge extending from the outer to the inner, from gross to subtle, from the lower chakras to the higher chakras. To balance the inner and the outer is what the Buddha called the middle way, or what Aristotle called the Golden Mean. You can be that bridge. The full awakening of human consciousness and energy is the birthright of every individual on the planet. In today's society we have lost the balance between the inner and the outer. We are so distracted by the outer world of form, thoughts and ideas, that we no longer take time to connect to our inner worlds, the kingdom of heaven that is within.

The Spiral

The Pythagorian philosopher Plato hinted enigmatically that there was a golden key that unified all of the mysteries of the universe. The golden key is the intelligence of the logos, the source of the primordial om. One could say that it is the mind of God. The source of this divine symmetry is the greatest mystery of our existence. Many of history's monumental thinkers such as Pythagoras, Keppler, Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla and Einstein have come to the threshold the mystery. Every scientist who looks deeply into the universe and every mystic who looks deeply within the self, eventually comes face to face with the same thing: The Primordial Spiral.

One Vibratory Source

Part one of the film Inner Worlds, Outer Worlds. Akasha is the unmanifested, the "nothing" or emptiness which fills the vacuum of space. As Einstein realized, empty space is not really empty. Saints, sages and yogis who have looked within themselves have also realized that within the emptiness is unfathomable power, a web of information or energy which connects all things. This matrix or web has been called the Logos, the Higgs Field, the Primordial OM and a thousand other names throughout history. In part one of Inner Worlds, we explore the one vibratory source that extends through all things, through the science of cymatics, the concept of the Logos, and the Vedic concept of Nada Brahma (the universe is sound or vibration). Once we realize that there is one vibratory source that is the root of all scientific and spiritual investigation, how can we say "my religion", "my God" or "my discovery".

Listen To Your Inner Voice

As we continued to steadily awaken, we discovered that our energy was in the midst of shifting from a horizontal pattern to a vertical one. On the old horizontal path we gained our knowledge second hand from teachers, books and other people's first hand experience. We believed things because others said so, and since we were so unempowered, we didn't expect to find out for ourselves.
Horizontal patterning is also the road of manipulation, control and innuendo. It can be very subtle and insidious, for nothing is out in the open or directly experienced. It is the realm of second hand rumors, wherein no one ever expresses their true feelings. Everything is layered under the ambiguity of what someone else said or did. Talk about giving away your power! Some highly skilled practitoners of the horizontal path are still among us, so watch out for them. And don't fall for it. 
Increasingly, as our awakening progresses, we have shifted our consciousness to a vertical path. This is the realm of direct experience, receiving our own guidance and knowing straight from the Source. 
This is how everything was learned back at the beginning of each earthly cycle. This is how the great visionaries, mystics, saints, plus the founders of all the major and minor religions received their Higher Truths. And the amazing thing is that it is so easily available to all of us!
Of course, there is a challenge connected with being tuned into your won direct hot line to God. And that is the issue of trusting what you receive. Learning to listen to your own inner voice and then to act upon it, beginning to live your life as an embodiment of what you know and believe. It may sound easy, but often it is not. We have been so conditioned to worry about what other people are going to think of us. How are they going to react if we speak our Truth? Well, how are you going to fully live if you don't?


-Solara, The Star-Borne: A Remembrance for the Awakened Ones

Actions Prove True Character

If there is one thing we all can learn, it is how to treat each other. Everyone has different backgrounds, lifestyles, diets, faiths, ideas, and everyone is in their own different level of consciousness. Some may battle harsh days on dark pathways. None should be judging of others. We all bleed the same color red. We are all human beings. We are born alone and die alone. What we know is what we are told and what we figure out. Have you ever realized you're heart has never lied to you and always guided you truthfully? Our planet Earth where we live gives us all which some take for granted like there's no tomorrow. No matter what toils try to throw you down in life- just breathe. Remember you are made of the same dust as the stars in the skies. All are one living on this planet, divided by years of empire and rule. Great ones with the same consciousness have incarnated in every part of the globe. They're the same... With the same message. The customs and ceremonies are all that differ and especially for the hardcore devotee. We must be mindful in our speech and wise in our words. There's no reason to allow anger to consume when there's a new idea or something different. Communication is what makes things clear and often attributed to most problems between groups. When religious zealots curse another off and threaten death for different perspectives it makes you wonder just how 'in tune' they truly are. It's easy to wear a mark and say you're this or that but actions prove your true character. Same goes for presidents and prime ministers. It's easy to do good... It's a choice. No one said you have to do this or that- its your choice as its always been. We are working together to evolve together and cease the divisions which were created long ago. I ask that you all live by thy heart and do good. This is all. All else is romanticism and politics. Be well.

Just Be

"You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. You are alive, so take your life and enjoy it. Don't resist life passing through you, because that is God passing through you. Just your existence proves the existence of life and energy.

We don't need to know or prove anything. Just to be, to take a risk and enjoy your life, is all that matters. Say no when you want to say no, and yes when you want to say yes. You have the righ to be you. You can only be you when you do your best. When you don't do your best you are denying yourself the right to be you. That's the seed that you should really nurture in your mind. You don't need knowledge or great philosophical concepts. You don't need acceptance of others. You express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others."

-Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

Be Free Like Children

Who stops us from being free? We blame the government, we blame the weather, we blame our parents, we blame religion, we blame God. Who really stops us from being free? We stop ourselves. What does it really mean to be free? Sometimes we get married and we say that we lose our freedom, then we get divorced and we are still not free. What stops us? Why can't we be ourselves?
We have memories of long ago, when we used to be free and loved being free, but we have forgotten what freedom really means. 

If we see a child who is two or three, perhaps four years old, we find a free human. Why is this human free? Because this human does whatever he or she wants to do. The human is completely wild. Just like a flower, a tree, or an animal that has not been domesticated- wild! And if we observe humans who are two years old, we find that most of the time these humans have a big smile on their faces and the are having fun. They are exploring the world. They are not afraid of play. They are afraid when they are hurt, when they are hungry, when some of their needs are not met, but they don't worry about the past, don't care about the future, and only live in the present moment. 
Very young children are not afraid to express what they feel. They are so loving that if they perceive love, they melt into love. They are not afraid to love at all. That is the description of a normal human being. As children we are not afraid of the future or ashamed of the past. Our normal human tendency is to enjoy life, to play, to explore, to be happy, and to love.

Fog Is A Dream

"All of humanity is searching for truth, justice, and beauty. We are on an eternal search for the truth because we only believe in the lies we have stored in our mind. We are searching for justice because in the belief system we have, there is no justice. We search for beauty because it doesn't matter how beautiful a person is, we don't believe that person has beauty. We keep searching and searching, when everything is already within us. There is no truth to find. Wherever we turn our heads, all we see is the truth, but with the agreements and beliefs we have stored in our mind, we have no eyes for the truth.
We don't see the truth because we are blind. What blinds us are all those false beliefs we have in our mind. We have the need to be right and to make others wrong. We trust what we believe, and our beliefs set us up for suffering. It is as if we live in the middle of a fog that doesn't let us see any further than our own nose. We live in a fog that is not even real. This fog is a dream, your personal dream of life- what you believe, all the concepts you have about what you are, all the agreements you have made with others, with yourself, and even with God."


-Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

The Harvest

"The Law of One series specifically indicated that this marvelous event was called "harvest." Only recently did I realize that they were directly quoting from the book of Matthew. This describes a moment in time where the wicked are literally pulled into an alternate timeline- a different reality- from everyone else. Jesus used symbolism to explain this. Humans on earth, in the spiritual sense, were compared to a field of wheat that has been planted. The seeds are the spiritual teachings that are given to us by Jesus and other great masters. These spiritual teachings, if from the positive path, invariably tell us to be more loving accepting and forgiving of others- to realize that we are all one. Humility, patience, kindness, charity, being a good listener, and believing in and supporting the innate goodness of others- regardless of who they may be- are al key aspects of these teachings. Very few people in our modern wold seem to realize that the further you go in this direction, the more likely you are to ascend and literally transform into the next level of human evolution.

However, we also have "the adversary," who plants weeds, or "tares," in the crop. These are also teachings that are made available to everyone. Our society is bursting with them. These teachings center on pursuing material things- money, power, fame, and prestige. They create, foster, and encourage narcissism, entitlement, rudeness, dominant behavior, and self-aggrandizement. Everything is built around a hierarchy. Power must not be questioned. The will of the few is imposed upon the many. We are all taught to fear "Big Brother." We know, deep inside, that seriously corrupt forces exist. We are also taught to believe they are indestructible, and our best bet is to ignore them and accept their unchanging reality in our lives. Until the rise of Internet streaming video, most people's lives were utterly dominated by corporate propaganda from watching television. We were bombarded by advertisements and taught that we had to suffer this propaganda in order to enjoy our lives. Now, all of that is changing. Each of us has the choice to focus on positive, loving material and avoid re-creating the cycles of torture and pain that has plagued us for so long."

CHANGING A DREAM-WORLD

"First they ignore you, 
then they laugh at you, 
then they fight you, 
then you win."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"You have known both joy and sorrow, the greatest ecstasy and the most profound heartbreak. Sometimes the joy was so intense it broke your heart, and sometimes the despair was so overwhelming you felt a strange and unexpected joy at its core. Sometimes the joy and the sorrow were indistinguishable from each other and you were reminded of what lived beyond both - your unshakeable presence.

The world has given you so much, friend, more than you ever imagined possible, and you want to give something back. You want to be a force for healing, you want to uplift and create, but so many questions come to visit you in your private moments. How to change the world without opposing it in its current state? How to transform the planet through love and acceptance, not intolerance and war? Must you rage at the status quo, become an angry missionary, live as an exhausted seeker in perpetual dissatisfaction, in order to bring about creative transformation? Is that the most effective use of your talents? Must you live in fear, anger and... blame?
Great healing begins when we align with the universe exactly as it is, yet hold in our hearts the way we know it can be, and we simply stop comparing the two. Keep your eyes on the prize, but do not oppose the present moment - this is the great paradox of transformation, and the secret of changing the world by not changing it at all.
It is impossible for the mind to grasp how supremely creative, intelligent, compassionate and spontaneous action can emerge from a place of total acceptance of Now; how doing can emerge effortlessly from non-doing.
Acceptance is not toleration or passivity - it makes you radically alive and passionately engaged with this astonishing dream-world."



-Jeff Foster

This Is Play

Foundation of Unity

This will be one of the biggest changes happening in the next few years. A greater percentage of people will begin thinking the same way all of you do, and others will be more determined to separate from that thought process. So what we must do as a collective to help build the new Earth is find all of the things that we have in common rather than what separate us. This will help build the foundation of unity. Those that live in fear, anxiety and the control paradigm will not be of the same mindset and may travel down a different path if necessary. We must let them do so rather than insisting they change, for if they need to change, they will. On our page alone, you can see the two intensities very clearly in the comments. Michael Forrester is going to introduce some of these concepts shortly, but basically everything that relies on the lower vibrational levels of fear will be cast in one direction and the vibrational levels of love will be cast in another. From there, the two vibrations will segregate and the Earth will essentially divide vibrationally as humanity continues to ascend to higher levels. At that point, humanity will have realized that all the problems on Earth are not problems at all, but can all be addressed very easily from a different level of consciousness than what created them. This is already happening and in the interim, things will get much worse and more chaotic as the separation becomes more evident. Some of the shifts may be happening in as little as the next 60 days.

The Great Year

"The Law of One series, the Cayce readings, my own intuitive readings, and a host of ancient prophecies all suggest that life on earth will transition into a far more peaceful, harmonious, and evolved level as we move into the Age of Aquarius. The highly credentialed historians de Santillana and von Dechend compellingly argued that dozens of ancient myths around the world were secretly encoded with information about this 25,920-year cycle is indeed the Synchronicity Key; it is the mainspring of the cosmic clock. The Great Year is driving cycles that steer our destiny with astonishing precision. I suspect that we have barely scratched the surface of understanding how far-reaching and powerful these cycles are. It is also important to mention that the villains in the Book of Life are not permitted to continue harming others indefinitely. The hero's journey structure of archetypes includes an absolute defeat of the nemesis- which can be quite gruesome. Karma is often repaid in a very dramatic fashion- and no one is exempt from the great wheelwork of time. However, if we continue to meet violence with violence, the same cycles may need to continue repeating. Through forgiveness, we demonstrate that we are ready to graduate into a newer and much more evolved form of thinking, feeling, and being."


-David Wilcock, The Synchronicity Key

The Quickening

"For in a world where so many are living only for material achievement and survival, it will not be until that material reality is threatened with extinction, and when money and luxury fail to satisfy our needs for peace and comfort, that the majority of people will awaken to the worthlessness of material wealth and success, and thereby be inspired to seek INWARDS to find a new purpose and meaning for life. And in doing so, many will finally understand the words that they have been uttering for so long which state, “that we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but rather we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

And thus, when the events of the next few months have served their Divine Purpose, when the death and destruction have shaken us from our material obsessions, and given birth to our awareness of the Eternal Spirit that connects us all, we will learn to see the world in a new way; where even Death and Destruction, which humanity has denied and feared for so long, are seen to have a place and a purpose for which to be thankful and loving.

And as these increasingly intense events unfold in the coming months, they will teach humanity the lessons of pride and humility, by demonstrating the futility of our efforts to control the world outside of ourselves. And when people finally tire of wishing that the world was something that it isn’t, and when they learn to be at peace with the way things are for they see it all as part of the Divine Plan, then may they also learn to see that exerting one’s personal will to try to stop these events from happening would be like trying to stop others from having the same opportunity for learning.

For, it is our selfishness, and our ignorant use of free will that has brought us collectively into our present state of existence. Therefore, perhaps it is only by a 180 degree reversal, through selflessness, through the complete and utter surrender of ourselves and our personal will to the divine Will of the Tao, that we may allow the forces of true Change, and Redemption, to work through us and liberate us completely from the unholy illusion of this world."
