Covid’s Covert Calling

Apr 14, 2020

A ‘Reset Point’

Dear fellow explorers,

Wow! What an extraordinary time of environmental, social, economic and political upheaval we have been (and are now) experiencing, both individually and collectively!

From our unprecedented recently past fires, storms and floods, to our newly unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, to goodness knows what else may be coming down the ‘pipeline’!

COVID-19 is challenging us all on a physical level. It is challenging us psycho-emotionally and it is challenging us existentially. No corner of the world, no aspect of human life or expression is untouched.

It is producing such contrast between inner and outer sensory experience that it is stretching us to the limit. It is challenging our usual assumptions of things like cause and effect and many others. It is exposing every polarity of separation perception personally, socially, politically and economically.

It is bringing up our ’Stuff’ in every possible way! Even as we are feeling separate in ourselves and from others as a ‘separated self’, we are being required to ‘self isolate’. Even as the collective will demands social restrictions for the greater good’, we feel and see the resistance of individual will: Please do this… No, I will do that…

It has become clear to me that COVID-19 is a fundamental reset point for humanity.

We are all in this COVID-19 reset together. Yet we are in unchartered waters. There is no guarantee on how, when, or even ‘if’ this will end. We can have no expectations.  There is no guarantee that life as we may now recall it will ever entirely resume ‘normal’ service…

There are many contrasting levels of this for us to to experience and explore, especially the greater context for our lives that: We are all inseparable aspects of a Singular Omniverse – an omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent ‘Singular Source Energy Field’ which remains undisturbed.

Singularity is always in balance as its essential Equilibrium enables the endless sustaining of it. As a ‘Singularity’ every aspect mirrors itself which means our every inner and outer sensory experience contains at some level, a reflection of our relative alignment to Singularity.

Perhaps this COVID-19 reset reflects an Omniversal calling to remember our Singularly interconnected, inter-related and inter-dependent heritage – to remember that we are not disconnected from each other; to get to know ourselves as we truly are as opposed to the self we think we are… In this, our current need for self isolation represents the greatest of cosmic jokes!

Perhaps COVID-19 is reflecting that as a human collective, we have become unsustainably ‘self serving’; that we have individually and collectively reached an unsustainably ‘self destructive’ level of not caring about each other; the Earth and its life streams – If so, this COVID-19 reset is a Singular calling for us, individually and collectively, to become more ‘self sharing’.

This Singular calling is from the omnipresence of our very existence which, for each of us represents our ’Soul Center’. This means each one of us has a unique Soul Centered, ‘spiritual path’ of growth in and through these challenging times.

The way of this calling through current social isolation represents an opportunity to go deeply inward – to reflect, contemplate, imagine and re-envision our lives individually and collectively, not as separated parts, but as parts of a greater whole.

This is, of course very challenging to our ordinary (separated) way of perceiving reality. The ’stuff’ we are feeling right Now reflects our feelings of disconnection, lack of support, lack of deep meaning and purpose that stem from Separation Thought.

This ’stuff’ reflects the ‘Emptiness’ of the ‘separated self’ we perceive ourselves, and sense as originating somewhere in our ‘past’ (attributed to childhood challenge, abuse, trauma or otherwise), which we try to project as something to be fixed in our ‘future’.

The ways of the ‘separated self’ (denial, anger and projection) are becoming increasingly self destructive and can only take us into even darker times.

The big challenge is that Separation Thought produces associations of feeling and thought based habitual behaviours that merely reinforce that Thought.

We don’t like to feel because of the Emptiness our ‘stuff’’ represents. So we try to rationalize it; to ‘think it away’ through different Separation Thoughts.

This was tellingly (and hilariously) reflected recently as our collective perception by a world leader who stated that: ‘feeling’ is not a good ‘thought’ process!!!

Our everyday coping behaviours are becoming increasingly less effective. We can try to ‘medicate’ our stuff away through our individual behavioural attachments and addictions, whether by binge consuming this or binge watching that. Yet whilst these things may momentarily take the edge off the extremes of what we are feeling, unless our underlying mind set changes, there can be no real relief.

Beyond perception, there is nothing that is separated from anything else. Beyond perception, the thoughts and feelings of our stuff are inseparable. So it is not possible just to ‘think’ our way through this COVID-19 reset point’, we have to ‘feel’ it too. And, we have to process what we are feeling!

As Singularity is omnipresent, this cannot happen in a ‘future’. It can only happen ‘Now’ – through the omnipresence of this Now Moment

Whilst we generally process Emptiness by projecting (seeing) it as a ‘fault’ in another person or thing, the fast track to healing from the Emptiness of Separation Thought and bring balance to our life experience, requires something very different.

For, as Singularity is omnipresent, healing cannot happen in a ‘future’. It can only happen ‘Now’ in the omnipresence of this Now Moment. The ‘fast track’ to healing requires us to get deeply present to our Now Moment experience – to allow ourselves to feel what we are feeling Now without judgment and without trying to make it go away. This enables us to observe our moments of denial and become aware of the ways in which we project our Emptiness onto others.

This fast track to healing calls us to become more in service to each other. By taking the focus off ‘self serving’ ourselves; by letting go (forgiving) our judgments and resentment of others; we shift into new levels of acceptance of self and others and discover countless ways in which we can be more ‘Soul Self sharing’.

Getting present to what is in our heart, restores connection with our Inner Guidance and unlocks an untapped reservoir of Soul Centered creativity. Through this, we discover new levels of empathy and compassion; of cooperation and collaboration and abilities to assist and support others who are doing it tough. Through this, we open our minds to hitherto unimagined ways of living and growing together. As we do so, the growth of the individual expands the collective which in turn supports the individual to grow.

Indeed, this Singular COVID-19 calling offers potential for the heralding of a new dawn of human awareness – a new ‘golden age’ for humanity – not in terms of a better material world as we have known it but rather as a shared co-creative experience, founded in a greater awareness of our Singular heritage.

On many levels, seen and unseen, we really are all in this together.

So, until next time, please stay present and stay safe!

Sending much love and well wishes.

The Riddle of Self Worth

Apr 14, 2020

What are you really worth?

Hello dear fellow explorers,

As someone who grew up experiencing a lot of unworthiness, I can look back and see how that both shaped and limited my life experience in many different ways. At some point along my own many years on my spiritual path, I began to realize that pretty well everyone on the planet is, in her or his unique way, working with and through the same thing!

A great paradox in our lives is that as kids we are encouraged to develop ‘self worth’. Yet which ‘self’ is it that we are talking about?

The only unconditional answer I’ve found lies in the quantum premise that we are all unique yet indivisible aspects of one, all encompassing and embracing ‘Singularity’. This ‘All that is’, this ‘Omniversal Energy Field’ is always unconditionally complete within itself. As there is nothing outside of it, it represents a state of ‘non-attachment’. This means it is also a state of ‘non judgment’!

As unique yet indivisible aspects of the ‘Singularity’, our true ‘Self’ can only be our ‘Soul Centered Self’.

Lack of self worth, reflects ‘self judgment’. Yet as the Singular ‘All that is’ represents a state of non-judgment, it cannot forgive, because it cannot judge!

This means the self that lacks worth cannot be the ‘Soul Centered Self’ – It can only be a sense of ‘self’ we have that has forgotten our Soul Center and feels separate it – a ’Separated Self’.

As the ’Separated Self arises only in the forgetting of Soul Center, it reflects a sense of ‘Emptiness’ about our being and our lives. This is that sense of lack of disconnection; that uneasy anxiety; that sense of something missing in our lives.

The Separated Self loves its Separated Will yet hates its Emptiness in equal measure. It projects its love for itself by seeking ‘Separated Self worth’, yet its Emptiness precludes it from unconditionally accepting itself. There is no Other that can prove to the Separated Self that it is worthy, because its Emptiness tells it – it is not!

This Emptiness is the root cause of all of our feelings of ‘unworthiness’, however they may be described, defined or interpreted.

Because the Singular ‘All that is’ reflects a state of Unconditional Love, our issues with self worth are ultimately about being worthy of Love. The essence of the fear of not ‘being enough’ of not ‘having enough’ is of not ‘being worthy’ of ‘Love’.

You are unique in all the worlds. There is no being exactly like you. The‘All that is’ cannot judge one more worthy than another. Adversely comparing oneself with other is but a judgment of oneself. Seeking approval of another is mission impossible.

Real ‘Self worth’ can only be claimed by each of us here and now. It can only be given to you, by you. There is no one else. There is nothing coming in the ‘future’, whether imagined in terms of bucket list achievement; a ‘right one’ or otherwise, that can ever evidence your ‘worth’ to you. It is simply not possible!

We can do it because it is already our natural state. As immutably Soul Centered beings, we are already worthy. We have never been without it. Whilst we may seem able to forget this for a moment, it cannot ever, ever be taken from us.

If you are already feeling worthy, or feeling more worthy that you used to that is great. Yet there is always more. Unconditional Love is infinite. It is the spiritual path, to be and become ever more deeply the embodiment of Love.

We just have to keep reminding ourselves to believe it! We just have to keeping looking more deeply for the unique ‘All that is’ in each other.

Until next time… please, please be kind you yourself…

2020 Vision?

Apr 14, 2020

Expanding or Recycling same old…

Dear fellow explorers,

As we set forth into the 2020 experience it is very much a time to step into a new vision for our lives.

The energies have already offered a tumultuous start that above many other things reflects a call to remember our interconnected, Soul centered nature.

For some of us a new year translates into ‘new year resolutions’: to be or do things that represent a positive change from what was. A resolution generally represents a goal with a plan for an outcome. An outcome is an expectation which (depending on our level of intention and focus) we are more or less attached to the achievement of.

We have probably tried this before. Yet whilst we may like to think we make our lives happen, it is also likely that none of us can look back a few years and say that life has turned out exactly as we had planned!

This is because whilst a calendar year represents a cycle that may seem a linear experience, the energy of creation does not move in linear cycles. Rather it moves in dynamic, multi-dimensional spirals of contraction and expansion.

The Omniversal Energy Field’ is holographic in nature. It is unconditionally all encompassing and embracing. The whole is in every part and every part contains the whole. Its every aspect down to its most subtle sub-atomic nuance is a microcosm of a macrocosm.

Even as you reach for your morning ‘cuppa’, your energy field emits measurable gravitational waves that reflect the coalescence of countless frequencies of the mind (intention) and energy of matter.

The Omniversal Energy Field is self initiating. Like a mighty river, it has a purpose for being and knows where it is going. As a unique yet indivisible aspect of it, your Soul essence, has a purpose for being and knows where it is going.

This reveals that the value of any resolution lies in its underlying Intention.

Soul Impulse reflects the ‘self sharing’ nature of the Omniversal Field. Soul Impulse cannot be expressed by self serving ‘Separation Thought (Intention). For this seems to splits us off from Soul center and distort the underlying ‘interconnectedness’ of Omniversal reality.

Separation Thought projects the perception of a specific yet opposing and ever changing spectrum of polarities. Separated Intention recycles itself through an apparently linear life of Separated experience – a non-stop array of irreconcilable likes and dislikes: ‘you not me… this not that… here not there… then not now… this cause not that effect…

Separated Intention projects outcomes based on Attachments to one polarity or another. Split off from Soul Center, these outcomes produce experiences that are predetermined by the Emptiness of that Intention.

However, as nothing exists outside the Omniversal Field, it is one of unconditional non-attachment.

The human ‘you’ is designed as the arms and legs of Soul Center. In Soul terms, achievement is measured through expansion, not only by way of outer achievement but through inner growth. This is only possible through Soul Centered Intention.

A vision projected without Inner Soul Centered Guidance is called a ‘plan’. Yet the mind that allows itself to play from Soul Centeredness does not need to plan in a linear way. The Soul Centered self is not entangled with that which defines the ‘past’ of the Separated Self and projects its ‘future’. It has no need to plan for a ‘future’ as there is no ‘future’ that is not present within the potential of the Now Moment.

Receiving and following through on Soul Centered Guidance requires a level of ‘detachment’ from outcomes, a relinquishment of expectation. Detachment does not mean disconnection. It means the opposite! Non-attachment is true connection because it transcends any polarities of Separation Thought.

As such, the transcendental ‘new years’ resolution’ is to align with the momentum of a Soul centered vision and maintain focus on it without attachment.

Getting into the presence of the Now Moment is what brings Soul Centered vision into our lives. This means getting present to what Inner Guidance is asking of us in each Now Moment and extending it in whichever way it works for each of us.

As the potential of its purpose and destination is unknowable in its entirety, the way of the mystic is to learn to love uncertainty and live in the mystery of the Now Moment.

What could your 2020 year look like? What may have started as the greatest of your new year resolutions can represent a new beginning in a much bigger game that has no ‘end date’ or limit in terms of its potential.

Until next time… happy envisioning…

Giving to Receive?

Apr 14, 2020

Dear fellow explorers,

As we head toward the closure of the cycle of 2019 I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. I hope it’s been a year to remember for all the right reasons.

Each year unfolds as a progression of personal and collective ‘Rituals’ (Rites). A calendar in and of itself reflects a ritual. If not already begun this is for many a time of Christmas centred ritual; for others, less so.

Ritual is an integral part of personal and collective experience. It shows up in some way in all our behavioural patterns. There is some form of personal ritual happening as we clean and dress ourselves, make a cuppa or eat a meal. There is some form of ritual (rite) going on in every interaction and gathering.

Yet the value of ritual stems not so much from the form, but in the intention in which it is conceived and engaged. In turn, the quality of our intention depends on the quality of our mindfulness.

Mindfulness has heart centred intention and conveys a frequency of energy that is sharable Now... Self serving intention does not.

This means ritual can be a mindful reinforcement of ‘Now moment’ connectedness. Or; it can be used to project separation, based on past judgments and reinforce future division.

It is the choice (intention) held by each individual that adds to or subtracts from the collective experience. I’m sure we have all experienced the difference on many occasions.

The end of every cycle is a phase of contraction – a time to wind down inwardly before a new phase of expansion. 2019 has been a tumultuous time in so many ways. 2020 promises to be even more so!

Until then, wishing you Christmas rituals filled with heart-mind felt happiness…
