Co-creation of Human Inter-connectedness
and Planetary Healing:
The Birth of Post-ego Civilization
The Seventh Day of the Galactic Underworld begins
on November 3, 2010 and ends October 28, 2011.
It’s during this last 360 day Heaven of
this Underworld that the final, or Universal
Underworld begins on October 9, 2010 and ends,
as do all Nine Underworlds, on October 28, 2011.
What’s important to understand is that
the Seventh day of each Underworld represents
the fruition of that particular Underworld,
and also introduces the theme of the next one.
Each of the nine Underworlds is a step in the
evolutionary progression to the attainment of
cosmic consciousness in the Universal. Each
step begins with the sowing of the seed-idea
of each Underworld in Day 1 and evolves during
the course of the thirteen Days and Nights of
the particular Underworld, culminating in the
fruition of the seed-idea in the Seventh
Day. The seed idea of the next Underworld is
then introduced toward the end of the prior
one.
In order to illustrate this let’s look
at the evolution of life and consciousness during
the course of the National Underworld, what’s
known as the historical period, from
3115 BCE to the present, which culminates in
2011 in what the Maya called “the end
of (linear) time.” This doesn’t
imply the “end of the world” as
doomsayers and many religious fundamentalists
maintain, but rather the end of 5,000 years
of egoic domination: materialism, separatism,
and hierarchy, along with the progressive disconnectedness
these have produced.
According to Calleman, the purpose of the
National Underworld was the evolution of civilized
consciousness. It began with the unification
of Upper and Lower Egypt and culminated in the
organized nations of today. This was a dualistic
Underworld in which the Light favored the left-brain
hemisphere, the masculine mode of consciousness,
and the West. It gave rise to written language,
major constructions, patriarchal religions,
science and fine art. It began during the Seventh
Day of the prior Regional Underworld wherein
the fundamental tone of the National Underworld
was established—male domination and war.
This was when the goddess/nature-based cultures
of the Regional Underworld came under the domination
of the male gods of war.
During Day Seven of the National Underworld
the unitary Planetary Underworld began, with
the primary purpose of evolving global consciousness.
It was initiated by the Industrial Revolution
and ushered in materialism, industrialism, communication
technology, democracies, republics, and the
idea of globalism. During the Seventh Day of
this Underworld communication technology reached
great heights with the creation of the World-Wide
Web, personal computers, international satellite
communication and international trade. Also
during the Seventh Day of the Planetary Underworld
the seeds of the dualistic Galactic Underworld
were sown, with the evolutionary aims of transcending
the material frame of life and consciousness,
and also the balancing of the dualities established
during the National Underworld—between
East and West, the left- and right-hemispheres
of the brain, spirituality and materialism,
and men and women. Thus, we must neutralize
the imbalance that was established during over
5,000 years of the National Underworld—the
dominance of the West, left-brain hemisphere,
materialism, and male domination— in less
than 5,000 days in the Galactic Underworld.
It’s no wonder that this is a time of
great stress and conflict. The old order resists
and fights the evolutionary thrust of the Divine,
yet its efforts will be futile.
Thus, during Day Seven of the Galactic Underworld
we’re likely to see very significant signs
of balance between East and West, as well as
a more balanced consciousness. The balancing
of the left- and right-hemispheres of the brain
will also lead to gender equality and, also,
the rise of spiritual awareness that will transcend
duality, as well as the opening of psychic capabilities
such as telepathy that will come to supplant
materialistic technology.
The final or Universal Underworld begins during
Day Seven of the Galactic Underworld, the evolutionary
aim of which is the manifestation of cosmic
consciousness. The transcendence of ego separateness,
time, hierarchy and all these represent occurs.
By the Seventh Day of this Underworld, that
is only 260 days long, we arrive at the promise
of the Mayan Calendar: adual cosmic consciousness,
Self-realization, and co-creation with the Divine.
It seems unimaginable that we can arrive at
this point in less than three years. It’s
essential to remember that time radically speeds
up twenty-fold with the entrance into
each new Underworld. Thus, the pace of events
in the National Underworld was based on thirteen
Heavens, each approximately 400 years long.
In the Planetary Underworld the pace of events
was based on approximately 20-year long Heavens,
and in the Galactic Underworld the pace speeded
up to 360 days, and, finally, 20 days
in the Universal Underworld.
If you look back at the last Newsletter that
predicted events for the Sixth Day of the dualistic
Galactic Underworld based on the Sixth Day of
the dualistic National Underworld, the marked
increase of the pace of events becomes clear.
The economic collapse that began during the
Fifth Nights into the Sixth Days of both Underworlds
is happening at a greatly accelerated rate in
the Galactic Underworld. We are only three months
into this current Sixth Day and the economic
decline is dramatically accelerating at a pace
that shocks most people. This decline has consequences
that go beyond the economic realm, and particularly
for Europe.
Calleman predicted that the Armageddon drama
would take place in Central Europe during the
Fifth Night of this Underworld. Although this
didn’t happen despite the escalating Muslim
violence since the 2005 rioting in Paris that
has spread to other European nations, there
is the likelihood of escalating major Christian-Muslim
conflict—a modern Crusades scenario—now
that the European economy is showing significant
signs of collapse. Because the Muslim population
is increasing at a much more rapid rate than
the European population, coupled with the severe
economic downturn, the possibility of explosive
religious/ethnic conflict looms. If the Crusades
that began in the middle of Day Six of the National
Underworld have predictive value for events
in the current Sixth Day, it’s possible
that by the Sumer of 2009 major conflict could
ensue, with the likelihood of international
repercussions.
Occurring in parallel with all of the catalytic
difficulties we are facing, and likely will
face, are very positive evolutionary movements
that lead to transcendence of materialism, disconnectedness,
and all of the egoic manifestations that have
wreaked pain, war, and inequity for millennia.
These positive movements are also transpiring
at a highly accelerated pace. In The Mayan
Calendar—The Transformation of Consciousness
Calleman states:
The Galactic Underworld is more about telepathy
and intuition than technology, and although
many will resist the change, the emphasis of
the future will be less on things and gadgets,
as was the case in the Planetary. Because of
the blindfolded consciousness that ruled the
latter, all nature was assumed to exist only
for human beings to exploit based on economic
calculations of the left-brain hemisphere. Although
the intuition of the right-brain hemisphere
in the Galactic Underworld may indeed lead to
technological advances, the overall emphasis
of human endeavor is now about to shift. Despite
humankinds immense technological advances up
until now, the advances it has made in attaining
an inner state of happiness have been very small,
and this will become increasingly evident. The
main purpose of the current Underworld is to
remedy this imbalance, this state of Koyaanisqatasi.
The frame of consciousness that is now emerging
will simply not allow us to deny the existence
of a living cosmos. If we do there will be a
backlash of some kind. This is the reason for
the urgency of delivering the message of the
Mayan Calendar.
Because of the nature of this Underworld’s
yin/yang polarity, its Days will bring forth
intuitive, rather than analytical, expressions
of the human mind, and may often seem to appear
out of the blue. Nonetheless we will see a return
to the enchanted cosmos, and we will, thorough
our increasingly more open senses, become sensitive
to its true spiritual energy. Because of their
different locations in relation to the World
Tree, however, different parts of the world
are likely to be affected differently by the
Galactic Underworld. Thus, we may expect, at
least initially, that in the Western Hemisphere
the Galactic Underworld will generate a fascination
with the new technology and the new economy,
while the focus in the east—India, China,
and Russia (the leading edge will gradually
move north)—will be directed more toward
spiritual enlightenment. As the Galactic Underworld
progresses, the effects of the energy shifts
between different tuns (360 day periods)—Days
and Nights in the creation sense—will
be increasingly more marked.
Predictions for the Seventh Day of
the Galactic Underworld
From the mid-Seventeenth through the Eighteenth
Centuries Europe experienced The Age of Enlightenment.
The human mind was freed from much of the oppression
of the Church, reason transcended dogma and
an exciting era of free exploration was initiated.
Philosophical and scientific speculation bloomed,
and the seeds of humanism began to germinate.
Individuals began to identify with humanity
as a whole rather than with nation states. At
the mid-point of the Seventh Heaven of the National
Underworld, during Day One of the Planetary
Underworld, the Industrial Revolution began
and the world radically changed. The French
and American Revolutions created deep changes
on the societal level and brought with them
fundamental changes in how people viewed themselves.
All of the changes reflected a new sense of
freedom—from monarchy, religious hegemony,
and superstition. It wasn’t, however,
enlightenment on a spiritual level.
In the Seventh Day of the Galactic Underworld
spiritual enlightenment on a mass scale is designed
to emerge—not in the sense of enlightened
(or free) thought, but a transcendence of thought.
In the Planetary Underworld the left-brain hemisphere,
the thinking mind, was freed from the yoke of
dogma. In the Galactic Underworld the left-
and right-brain hemispheres achieve balance,
and transcend both the thinking mind and materialism
and technology, and the seeds of cosmic
consciousness begin to germinate as we
enter the Universal Underworld. More and more
individuals realize their unity with All-That-Is.
Predictions for the Seventh Day of
the Universal Underworld
The Universal Underworld is approximately
260 days in length, with each Day and Night
less than three weeks long. The rate of change,
therefore, is astonishingly fast compared even
to the Galactic Underworld. In The Mayan
Calendar: The Transformation of Consciousness
Calleman states:
Paradoxically, as the Mayan Calendar system
draws to a close, on one hand time will be experienced
as moving faster than ever before, and on the
other hand as if it is not moving at all. The
enlightened consciousness developed in the Universal
Underworld will be pulsed onto humankind in
a wave movement of the Thirteen Heavens that
covers a period of only 260 days (or possibly,
if it is one-twentieth of the Galactic Underworld,
234 days; I cannot tell yet). This reflects
a frequency of change of the heavenly energies
that by far surpasses anything anyone has ever
experienced. Yet there is every reason to believe
that, at the same point “time” will
come to an end, since “time” is
an experience that is predominantly mediated
by the left-brain hemisphere. In actuality,
the experience of time exists only in a world
dominated by the imbalance created by duality.
As balance between the two hemispheres is created,
instead of time we may expect to experience
pure being moment by moment.
This paradox, of course, is not easily resolved
by someone whose mind is still dominated by
the dualities generated by lower Underworlds.
The ego was established to serve the dualist
mind in navigating their changing waters and
to maintain a sense of continuity for the individual
is the midst of them simply can not survive
at the high frequency of the Universal Underworld.
The ego is not consistent with the unitary field
of light that will be ruling the world. In a
dualist frame of consciousness, the ego was
an important tool for survival; in a unitary
frame of consciousness, it will jeopardize the
survival of the individual. In an Underworld
dominated by unity and enlightenment, acting
and thinking based on a dualist frame of mind
will become impossible. At the frequency change
that will prevail in the Universal Underworld,
with shifts between Days and Nights every twenty
kin (days), the mind has to be disengaged if
it is not to lead the individual to complete
heartbreak or total collapse. Even with proper
preparation, for a person who is well aware
of the workings of the cosmic plan, the conflict
between the five-thousand-year-old dualist mind
and the unitary consciousness of the Universal
Underworld can only be successfully resolved
in one way—through the excision or “slaying”
of the ego and the ensuing creation of space
for the enlightened way of being to take over…
By 2011 the dominance of the dualist mind will
wither, and all the conflicts of humanity originating
in lower levels of consciousness will be resolved.
From the perspective of the enlightened state,
the old order will no longer be real. The advanced
technologies developed by the dualist mind will
find the place they were always meant to have,
in service to humanity and the living cosmos,
not as tools of domination. By then not only
the old monarchic rule, but also democracy,
will be a thing of the past (if everyone lives
in unity and harmony with the Divine, why elect
someone to rule them?). All hierarchies will
have crumbled. With the end of duality, the
dominance of one soul over any other will naturally
come to an end, and so there will be no need
for a government (which is like the ego of the
nation) to steer people through conflicting
interests. All human beings will, in a much
deeper sense than at present, be recognized
as having equal value—each as her or his
own manifestation of the Divine. In the process
of climbing the universal level of consciousness,
all limiting thoughts will disappear.
What then? Callenan believes that “the
end of time” doesn’t mean that a
new cycle will begin. It’s the end of
the Mayan Calendar, the end of cycles. An again,
none of this necessarily implies the “end
of the world”. It’s certainly the
end of the world how we’ve known it, but
it doesn’t mean a “new game”
won’t start. It’s possible that
we’ll have the option of merging with
the Divine and create on a non-physical level
of existence. Calleman also suggests:
With the ego slain in the Universal Underworld,
the Heavens will favor a consciousness that
is devoid of inner conflicts and produces no
external conflicts. The year 2012 in particular,
however, will be required for this inner state
to settle in a number of individuals who have
not been fully prepared for it. For the final
settling of the enlightened consciousness of
the Universal Underworld, the celebrations on
the occasion of the Venus transit of June 6,
2012, will be very important. They will be expressions
of gratitude to the divine cosmos for having
brought us to where we are.
Getting to 2011
Given all of the catalytic events we must
deal with that are predicted for 2009 and 2010,
and likely at least part of the Universal Underworld
of 2011, the obvious question that will arise
for every person reading this material is: Can
I make such a monumental change in under three
years? It’s clear that in the context
of what’s been discussed in this and the
last Newsletter that this is a very legitimate
question. To be completely realistic, many people,
for a variety of reasons, may not get through
the next couple of years. The purpose of this
current Newsletter is to provide you with a
very workable formula, not only for survival
in the time ahead but for developing very positive
polarization of consciousness and ego transcendence.
About two weeks before I started writing this
material I asked for spiritual guidance and
help in finding the most effective method for
evolving during these turbulent times. The “veils”
between our world and higher, more subtle, planes
of existence is quite thin now. There is spiritual
help available if we simply ask. It’s
very important to understand that higher beings
of light must be asked to assist us, and answer
our requests through the faculty of intuition,
while beings of darkness come unbidden and operate
through the channels of thinking and emotion.
A few days later an individual in my weekly
discussion group handed me a copy of Conversing
With the Future, Visions of the Year 2020 by
Jenna Catherine. His only comment was, “I
think you might find this interesting.”
I did, but only after I set aside my judgment
of the author’s New-Age style. I found
many of the concepts quite profound and realized
that the book was a significant part of the
answer to my earlier request for assistance.
It’s very much worth reading. I’ve
incorporated a number of the concepts Jenna
Catherine presents in her book, particularly
her treatments of joy, fear, and energetic flow,
with those I discuss in The Collapsing Tower,
in what I consider a succinct and practical
formula for survival and ego transcendence.
The Fundamental Polarity: Joy Versus
Fear
Joy
Joy is a state of consciousness, not an emotion.
It’s synonymous with the spiritual light
or pure love of Essence that underlies all of
creation, and is experienced as a flowing aliveness
that creates an awareness of universal inter-connectedness.
It’s physically experienced as vibrant
health and can be thought of as the fundamental
agent for healing. On the everyday level we
experience it as deep connectedness, humor,
and laughter, a lightness of spirit that simply
feels good.
Joy is neither frivolous nor self-indulgent.
It’s our spiritual birthright. To experience
and bask in it may be the basic meaning of life.
During a vision quest in the Southwestern desert
many years ago I had the experience of the entire
universe pervaded by a living, lilting laughter—a
universal joy that connected everything to everything
else. I knew then that my goal in life was to
maintain that state of awareness. Of course
it only lasted for a moment, but it was a glimpse
of eternity that I knew I had to find my way
back to. And it appears that this might be the
promise of the Mayan Calendar. However, to participate
in the fruition of this promise we must be more
than passive recipients of universal grace.
We must become active co-creators in our own
salvation. If we simply wait for delivery, it
won’t be salvation that comes.
The Many Faces of Fear
Joy expands, flows, and connects. Fear, on
the other hand, is the energy that contracts,
stops, and disconnects. When fear is denied
and/or unexpressed it prevents you from feeling
love and creates a powerful filter through which
your perceptions become distorted. You then
experience life through the eyes of fear. It’s
essential to know when the transition from joy
to fear occurs, but one of our greatest problems
is that we’re so used to fear that we
assume it’s normal. Jenna Catherine repeatedly
stresses that when fear is blocked and not allowed
to flow, we block the flow of all other feelings.
In order to experience flow, therefore, we must
be willing to experience the entire emotional
spectrum.
In The Collapsing Tower I build the
case that nearly all fear comes from the ego,
which is simply a temporary stage in
the evolution of consciousness that we’ve
mistakenly identified as the essence of who
we are—the true or eternal Self. When
you examine the functions of the ego it becomes
evident how fear-based it is. The ego maintains
its integrity by creating separateness
(I not-I) by contracting and disconnecting
from others, the environment, and even
the physical body housing it. It then preoccupies
itself with controlling everything
that threatens its illusion of sovereignty.
What psychology call “ego-defenses”
are central to this purpose. Thinking,
however, is its main strategy to maintain fear-based
control. And this is the crux of our problem:
To experience joy we must experience a free
flow of energy, but thinking/controlling blocks
this. This is why every enlightened human being
has maintained that the ego is our greatest
block to spiritual evolvement, and that we must
transcend it in order to evolve.
Giving up control, therefore, is the key to
creating energy flow and joy. This is tantamount
to giving up the methods we use to mitigate
fear, and these can be quite subtle, such as
giving up illusions of predictability. For example,
when we define something we place it in a category
and believe we’re accounted for it, i.e.,
“know” it and can predict its behavior.
When we “define” or name a disease-entity,
for example, we reduce fear by creating the
illusion we have some control over the disease.
This goes back to the ancient superstition that
if one names an “elemental entity”
one has control over it. The same is true when
we define a person. We think we know the person
and can safely predict his or her behavior.
Thus, thinking in this manner is driven by
fear. We attempt to “understand”
or predict conditions or people by placing them
in some familiar category from the past. We
essentially create “cages” in which
to place people or conditions in order to render
them safe. The problem is that we can never
really know anything or anyone in this way.
With regard to people, in particular, we blame
them for being unpredictable when they don’t
act in accordance with the category we’ve
caged them in. We say we can’t “count
on them”, and frequently use this as a
justification for feeling betrayed.
When we define something we limit it and block
energetic flow. This can occur, as Jenna Catherine
points out, in some subtle ways. For example,
when we have an expectation or prediction, we
are essentially shutting ourselves down, blocking
flow, by defining and restricting possibilities.
Similarly, “wondering” is also a
form of control, because when we wonder we perceive
through a filter.
The ego also controls memory to maintain its
sense of identity. It does this by holding onto
beliefs and filtering memories of the past through
them. This creates a sense of static permanence,
blocks energetic flow and aliveness, and imprisons
us in a past based on limiting beliefs. The
fact is, however, that we’re not who we
believe we are, but who we feel we
are. Thought blocks feeling and prevents
us from knowing who we are.
Because thought constricts flow it creates
fear and disconnectedness. Therefore we must
practice knowing by feeling and intuition, which
is a higher octave of feeling, as opposed to
knowing by thinking. This can, at least at first,
cause anxiety because it threatens the egos
illusion of control, but it also opens us up
to a reality of greater possibilities and an
increased experience of energetic flow and aliveness.
Dream
Prior to writing the next section of this
Newsletter I had a lucid dream. I was walking
down a beach with several people at night and
noticed two bright shooting stars. We sat on
a sand dune to watch the ocean. Suddenly a fireball
passed overhead. Someone excitedly pointed and
said, “Look at the comet!” I said
that it wasn’t a comet, but a space ship.
Without any warning I found myself in a warehouse-like
building knowing I was being held captive by
aliens. In the distance I saw one of them. He
was large and had the menacing appearance of
a medieval depiction of the devil.
A thin, dark-haired man, somewhat disheveled
and badly in need of a shave approached me.
I intuitively know he’s a “stooge”
of the devil/alien and has been enlisted to
seduce me into the devil’s service. I
found it odd that I didn’t experience
any fear. I asked him, “Are you aware
that you’ve sold your soul to the devil?”
The man pulls back from me and I see tears and
fear in his eyes. “Let me ask you a couple
of questions”, I said. “The first
one is, ‘What did he promise you in exchange
for your soul?’ and the second is, ‘Did
he deliver?” At this the man began to
sob uncontrollably. I hugged him and said, “Look
man. I’m just trying to help you.”
Suddenly the devil/alien appeared. He looked
menacing and quite angry at this turn of events.
I found it odd that I felt little fear, but
knew that if I didn’t handle this situation
right my mind could cause fear and things could
go very badly for me. I detached from my thoughts
and focused on the alien/devil and the sensations
and feelings in my body. I noticed that he didn’t
like this and tried to look more menacing. However,
I detected some fear and confusion in his eyes.
He withdrew slightly. He said, “Stop it!
What are you doing?” I continued to observe.
He really didn’t like this, and I noted
that he backed off a little more. Then I pointed
at him and started to laugh. He seemed ridiculous
to me. I could now feel the fear coming from
him, and he appeared to get a little smaller.
I looked over at the dark-haired man and noted
his confusion. Then I woke up to my alarm clock
ringing.
Interpretation: I interpreted the alien/devil
to symbolize the ego. This is consistent with
the Hindu interpretation. The devil represents
fear, domination, and materiality. I took the
dark-haired man to symbolize human bondage—“selling
his soul” for false promises of power,
material gain, and the like. The man sobs when
he realizes he’s been tricked. I saw the
central idea of the dream as my detached observation
of the devil/ego. He didn’t like this
and it brought fear to his eyes. This was accomplished
by observing him and whatever feelings and sensations
I had, but keeping thoughts detached. This is
the key method for disempowering the ego. If
I had allowed fearful thoughts to enter he would
have gained control over me. The fact that I
laughed at him instead was very significant.
I took that to be an instruction of how best
to deal with the ego—that humor and
joy could be used as an effective weapon against
the “forces of darkness” depicted
by the ridiculous figure of the devil. That
his fear increased and he began to shrink I
felt was the evidence that the ego/devil was
fed by thoughts of fear and destroyed with joy.
Two-Stage Formula to Transcend the
Ego and Increase Positive Polarization
These two stages entail 1) increasing joy
(connectedness and universal flow) and 2) transmutation
of negative feeling/emotion into positive flow.
1) Increasing Joy
Many people are conflicted over feeling joy.
Frequently they think it’s frivolous and
that seriousness is more “adult”,
or they think they’re causing others to
feel bad by expressing or even feeling joyous.
In her book Jenna Catherine makes the interesting
observation this this conflict is evident in
the “jerky” way many people laugh.
Most laughing is controlled, restrained, and
the result is a staccato jerkiness, as if they
were afraid of losing control. When we control
laughing we block joy and flow, which is our
essential nature and birthright and rob ourselves
of a powerful healing energy.
Jenna Catherine also notes that we must learn
to feel joy/humor on the cellular level,
and that this is a very powerful method of healing.
We are fully capable of “tuning in”
to our bodily organs and feeling the emotional
energies operating at this level. By seeing
our cells and organs as sentient entities we
can establish an energetic flow with them. By
doing this we interconnect with them and thereby
create joyousness that is healing. This is particularly
important for individuals who have diseased
cells or organs, because the cause of nearly
all disease is disconnectedness. When a part
of the physical body (or psyche) is wounded,
hurt, or diseased we typically isolate or disconnect
it from the totality of ourselves. All this
does is make the condition worse. To heal we
must do the reverse and flow loving compassion
to the damaged part and establish a healing
flow. As we proceed toward the fruition of the
Mayan Calendar in 2011 I suspect that standard
allopathic medicine, which is based on fear
and assaulting sick cells and organs with dangerous
drugs, will be replaced by the conscious creation
of joyous flow.
In our daily living we must seek opportunities
for creating more joy. I’ve noticed that
people are spending more time connecting with
friends and family as the economy worsens—staying
home and playing board games and eating at home
rather than going out and spending, for example.
Many people have told me how much more joyful
and rewarding they find these activities. In
a similar vein, many people are finding service
work a source of joy and rewarding replacement
for more self-serving activities.
We can also extend moments of joy.
We don’t have to rush through these moments
to get on with the “more important things
in life.” Perhaps the creation of joy
is the most important thing in life.
After all, it connects us with the source of
life, promotes psychological and physical health,
connects us with others and Nature, and creates
positive life experiences.
Jenna Catherine offered a good general rule
that I think is important and useful: “When
fatigue, disorientation, resistance are in control
of us, and nothing seems to ‘go right’,
we are bucking and resisting the flow of universal
energy. When we are peaceful, productive, in
rhythm with our environment, we are aligned
with the flow.”
2) Transmutation of Fear and Negativity
into Free Energy
You can refer to The Collapsing Tower
and prior Newsletters for additional treatment
of this subject. The central idea, supported
by modern physics and quantum mechanics, is
that universal energy is the medium from which
everything that exists is created. This energetic
substrate has a number of different names: Akasha,
Tao, Orgone, Vril, Ether, and many others. This
energy is infinitely malleable and from it come
all the manifested forms of the phenomenal world.
On the emotional level these forms are the spectrum
of all emotions and feelings, and on the physical
level we perceive them as objects, including
biological life forms, and experiences. Thus
everything in creation can be considered structured
universal energy.
It is thought that structures universal
energy into all of the forms we know. Thought-forms
maintain the integrity and functioning of everything
on the physical, biological, and psychological
levels of existence. Thus, if the form of the
thought changes, then the structuring of the
universal energy changes. If the thought-form
is detached from the structured universal energy
it maintains, then that structure “de-structures”
or dissolves back into free universal energy,
which we experience as flow or joy—and
it is this point that is the key to transmutation
or, to use the old term, “alchemy”.
This is the purpose of the Buddhist method
of detachment. It’s not to change one
thing into another thing, such as lead into
gold, but to transmute leaden structured universal
energy into the spiritual gold of the flowing
universal energy of joy by removing the influence
of thought. Let’s now consider the method
of transmuting fear and other negative emotional
states into the free energy of joy.
First of all it’s important to understand
that all thoughts—beliefs, expectations,
evaluations, and the like constrict, structure,
and dam up universal energy into thought-forms.
When we base our identities on a system of beliefs,
therefore, we feel tight and constricted and
limit our perceptions to conform to those beliefs.
Such belief-based thought-forms create corresponding
emotions. Confusion arises from this, because
most people don’t discriminate themselves
from beliefs about themselves or the
emotional energies these beliefs generate about
themselves. For example, if a person has been
taught to believe he’s bad and unacceptable
he’ll likely have belief-generated self-hatred.
He may spend his life hating himself, and do
things to justify this self-hatred, not realizing
its all derived from a negative belief he accepted
that probably has nothing at all to do with
who he really is. Furthermore, not only do the
emotional reactions he has toward himself have
to do with beliefs about him, the emotional
reactions he has toward others are
generated by his beliefs about himself. Thus,
he projects his self-hatred onto others.
Whether the fear and other negative emotional
states—which are based on fear—that
we carry within us are generated from corresponding
beliefs we’re adopted or created, or are
the result of empathic contagion from others
or the general collective is quite irrelevant.
All negativity can be transmuted to joyful
flow by using the following method:
1) Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
Be aware of your breathing, feelings and sensations
in your body, and any constriction along the
central vertical axis. Note particularly constriction
in your throat, chest, solar plexus/diaphragm,
abdominal area, and pelvic/genital area.
These areas of constriction reflect blocked
emotional flow. Don’t be concerned about
exactly what emotions are blocked. To start
with, however, we’ll work to transmute
only one negative feeling. We’re looking
to open up blockage, regardless of what is blocked,
in order to increase flow.
2) Become aware of the feelings in your body,
and select one that you want to unblock. It
could be sadness, fear, guilt, hate, or anger
for example. Notice where in your body that
feeling seems to constrict. If you can’t
find a corresponding constricted area just be
aware of the feeling.
3) Breathe a little deeper. Breathe into the
constricted area where the feeling seems to
be located, or just breathe into the feeling
if you can’t locate the physical constriction.
4) Now, become aware of the feeling as simply
energy—not labeled as fear, anger, etc.,
but just energy. Keep breathing into that structured
energy “mass”, and also become aware
of the sensations in your body.
5) Fully embrace the structured energy with
your breath. Fully feel the energy and any associated
sensations.
6) Allow thoughts, images, or memories to simply
be there. Don’t suppress or focus on them.
Let them drift by. Keep your focus on your breath,
the energy you’ve been embracing, and
the sensations. As you do this for a minute
or two you may notice the energy changing, as
well as the sensations. Keep letting your thoughts
drift by and maintain your focus. Breathe a
little more deeply and notice how this affects
the feeling of the energy. Don’t try to
stop anything, or make anything happen.
7) As you continue to do this you may feel
an emotional release. You could also feel energy
coming out of your fingertips, feet, or face—or
your body may tremble. Don’t try to control
any of this if it happens. Keep your focus on
your breath and observe what’s happening.
Continue your breath and observation for a few
more minutes.
8) As the original structured energy becomes
de-structured you may begin to experience a
floating sensation, a flow in and around your
body. Flow is different than defined or structured
emotional reactions. Flow is subtle and constant,
while emotional reactions are like bursts of
energy.
9) Be still and breath normally for a few minutes.
Notice how the experience of flow feels.
Flow and Manifestation
When you are in the Flow you are in direct
connection with the creative substrate that
underlies all existence. In this state your
intentions and thoughts have much more power
than in the typical state of constriction in
which most people live. There is also great
healing potential here, because you have a greater
ability to make connection with the organs and
cells of your body. By maintaining the joyful
universal flow of life you can influence cells,
organs, others, and different life-forms by
focusing on them with the intention of bring
them into the Flow with you. This is the essence
of healing. The truth is that no one heals anyone
or anything. The Flow does it all. We can only
serve as facilitators to bring others into the
Flow when we are there ourselves.
The more joy we can experience the greater
the Flow we can likewise experience. This is
how avatars and great spiritual adepts heal
simply with their presence. To attain this level
of service takes a great deal of practice and
focus. We can, however, move in this direction
with diligence. The more of us who do this,
the greater the influence we exert on the human
collective.
In the difficult times we are in, and will
be in, this will be our greatest protection
and guarantee of survival and spiritual development.
From a state of joy we manifest positive conditions
in life. Things naturally go right. We don’t
have to plan positive life experiences as they
flow naturally to us, and we to them. Thus,
it not necessary to do anything, because
simply being in the flow of joy is sufficient.
Also, as we cultivate more joy in our lives
and transmute negative emotions we become more
positively polarized, and this serves as a protection
against negativity. On the physical plane opposites
attract, such as the negative and positive poles
of a magnet or male and female biological bodies
but this doesn’t seem to be the case on
the nonphysical, where like attracts like. Positively
polarized beings are attracted to one another,
and likewise for the negatively polarized.
Dissolution of Negative Thought-Forms
Thought-forms are structures that are created
from the universal flow of energy—just
like any other structure. The difference between
these and any other structured forms is that
they exist on the mental plane and are maintained
in existence by an even higher plane—the
causative. My guess is that it would take a
very evolved Self-realized being to operate
on the level required to dissolve thought-forms.
Thus, from our perspective they could be considered
more or loss eternal. However, we do have choice
in the quality of thought-forms we identify
with and entertain.
We serve that with which we identify. The
existence of powerful negative and positive
thought-forms on the higher mental plane may
serve our spiritual development. They are truly
the agents of creation, and depending upon which
of these we identify with we co-creators in
the furthering of love and Light or fear and
Darkness. It’s in this choice that we
have power and hold the keys to our destiny
and the destiny of our planet.
Planetary Healing Through Human Interconnectedness
When we choose thought-forms that create joy,
love, cooperation, and connection we choose
to co-create with the Great Beings of Light
that exist on the highest planes. We align with
lesser beings of Darkness when we identify with
thought-forms that create fear, separateness,
domination, and disconnection.
When we choose to increase our joy and the
joy of others, either through the seeking of
sources of joy and/or transmuting negative emotions
to joyful Flow, we are doing the greatest service
for ourselves, others, and the planetary eco-system.
As mentioned in a prior Newsletter human disconnectedness
and the resulting negative thought-forms have
a powerful negative effect on all life
forms.
