Peak 114: I am attuning to the Ways of my Heart

What else did my Heart tell me when I asked it, “Heart, what say you?”…?

In the shower: Just relax.
After my shower: Finish what you’re doing.
“You’re like a ‘Heart Coach‘”: Yes. You are ready for this.
After lunch: Be still.
After stillness. “Qigong?”: YES. [NB.It’s a mature voice in me which holds me to account.]
During qigong: *BLISS* [NB. The Heart really loves QG]
Sitting down for work: Focus in. Follow your plan.
This evening?: You’re sick and tired. Stay in and message family and friends.
Right now: Go to the loo. [Ehem… brb]
Right now: Trouble ahead if you don’t reach out more.

Excuse me?

Reach out more. Reassure. Don’t let tanks run on empty. Put dates in diaries with a loved one or two. Clarify your care. Take a lead there.

Ok. Yes. I hear you.

Let’s read.

-50- When going off one way means living and going off the other way means dying, three in ten are companions of Life, three in ten are companions of Death, and three in ten value Life but drift toward Death. Why is all this so? Because, these people are too greedy about living. It is said: People who are skilful in caring for the life that has been given to them travel abroad without fear of wild ox or tiger, and enter a battle without concern for sharp weapons. There is no place for the wild ox to thrust its horns, there is no place for the tiger to put its claws, there is no place for a weapon to lodge. How is this so? Because, there is no place for Death to enter in! (The Tao Te Ching 50)

Stenudd comments:

That makes nine out of ten. The tenth is the one who really knows how to relate to life, without desperation. What you cherish, but don’t struggle too hard to keep, will not escape you. Life is like a cat. It enjoys your company if you don’t try to enslave it and don’t get too attached to it.

People who have this relaxed relation to life don’t provoke death. Nor do they seek it. They walk through life with the spirit of a visitor, who enjoys the experience but doesn’t for a moment expect it to last forever.

Do I rush through and at life? Am I greedy for life? I certainly feel my body to be under stress and strain. I wake up with my adrenal glands already struggling. I’m pushing onwards, and not reaching out to those I love enough… What is the advice today?

Pace. It’s about pacing yourself.

And having ‘this relaxed relation to life’?

It’s about taking the foot off the accelerator and finding enjoyment in the drive. It’s about looking out of the window and marvelling at the scenery. It’s about stopping at the vistas, getting out of the car, and noticing majesty.

Noticing majesty. I like that.

Equally, it’s about appreciating minutiae, and simplicity.

Let’s go into the Heart space and meditate for our final insight today.

***Med***

Arising: “I am attuning to the ways of my Heart.” Right? Your commentary?

Attuning to the ways of your Heart is spot on for today. Sometimes your Heart, and the Hearts of your loved ones, have felt betrayed by your ‘headlong’ push into the World.

Oh my word… Please… You’re knocking me here…

You can hear this. No problem. You are open to re-alignment, we know.

Uhum..?

Recall how your Heart, at check-ins, preferred:

order, completion, assiduousness
bliss, slowness, presence

The orderliness, or discipline, creates the infrastructure within which bliss and presence can occur.

Yes! And I am finding ways of getting more organised. My 12 Week Year work, and Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly trackers, my calendar organisation… Yesterday I brought my Inbox down to 37 emails (from 550) for the first time in 4 years! All this creates more space for the important matters of PRESENCE, right?

And Presence includes being present with others.

So as I improve my organisation and completion and execution, I can be more present to self, others, Heart. Yes?

These are the Ways of the Heart.

Accountability and order, to create space for space. You have diligently to book the holiday / car / plane / visas / insurance IN ORDER TO be able to sit on the mountain top and contemplate the vista.

Indeed.

These are the Ways of the Heart. I see a little bit more clearly now:

Order facilitates presence.

May I move into this Heart-centred consciousness. May I learn the Ways of the Heart. May I release old ‘Headlong’ habits. May I soften. May I relearn with humility. May I pace myself so that Reaching Out to my loved ones becomes natural and abundant. May I not be greedy towards life, but generous towards it. May my orderly, diligent, assiduous Ways of the Heart facilitate many moments of Bliss, Slowness, Presence.

Should I now read G’s loved book, Thinking, Fast & Slow?

Slow down…

I am attuning to the Ways of my Heart

Peak 113: I am constantly checking-in with my Heart

Heart, heart, heart… Well, I have to say that soon after the last Dialogue I fell headlong into a couple of days of complete heartache. A difficult conversation left me reeling and feeling lost, confused, ashamed, hurt, deflated and like hiding away. I felt my heart verily close off and defend itself… despite my seeking to speak through it. But in the end, I think a heartfelt conversation did restore things. Maybe I needed to hear some truths about myself and how I manage myself in busy days…

The message of The Great Awakening has been helpful: Turning inside is key. (p64) When I have found the stillness within me to connect with my heart in meditation, I do indeed access a different kind of inner fuel. It’s a fuel, or energy, or state which really, really grounds me. It made a big difference to the training I delivered yesterday – simply to have connected with my heart in meditation for 5 minutes. Nourishing, anchoring, restoring.

Let’s read.

-49- The True Person does not have an individual heart but uses the heart of the people. I am kind to those who are kind. I am also kind to those who are not kind. Thus, there is an increase in kindness. I keep faith with those who are in good faith. I also keep faith with those who lack good faith. Thus, there is an increase of good faith. The True Person is detached and humble and to the world appears confusing. The people all strain their eyes and ears, yet the True Person remains childlike. (The Tao Te Ching 49)

Interesting: ‘does not have an individual heart but uses the heart of the people’. What does this mean? Looking at other translations, there are wide variations on the interpretation of this chapter. Eg. others end by saying the sage cares for others unconditionally as a mother would care for her children. (vs. ‘remains childlike’). What I love about this chapter however is the exhortation towards unconditional love, kindness, faithfulness. I have been reminded by The Great Awakening book that it’s really important not to get entangled in judgment or horror as the 3D matrix collapses. And I know I have been very merrily wiping my nose with Twitter, and huffing and puffing at the BBC etc etc, as Brexit and more unravels into greater darkness around us.

Greater darkness, you say?

You know what I mean! Come on, our politics have been hijacked by hubristic archons bent on whipping up the fearful or egotistical natures of the populaces so that great tranches of the electorate will vote to have themselves shot in their own feet for the ultimate benefit of the hate-whipper-uppers.

Such pain and trauma in you.

Well, at the very least, ‘bemusement’. But in truth, also, yes, ‘horror’ at the lovelessness. Look at Turkey attacking the Kurds…

What if we told you that this spectacle is all the wrapping up of the old, in a vortex? In a vacuum? Take the plug out of a bath tub and for a long time there’s little to see except the general water level getting almost imperceptibly lower. Now consider that happens when the last of the water goes out of the bath: a sudden rushing, whirling, gurgling vortex as the drainpipe seems to whisk and vacuum the water out and away.

Oh, please let this be true of our old systems. Even our dear environmentalists are causing dismay and dissent. Today XR is occupying London’s public transport at rush hour, thus affecting all those working people who have already abandoned cars for environmental good… Division, dissent, disunity, panic-mongering.

Let it all be the end of an era of lovelessness. But how will the next generation gain and maintain energy to bring in systems of love, of unity, of consultation, of collaboration?

With some help and guidance and motivation from the older generations.

That’s us!

Indeed.

“There’s another way! You know it..!”

They most certainly do.

The indigoes will undo the old, broken system; the crystals will seed the new system, with love.

Now go into your heart and meditate. Listen to your heart. ‘Turning inside is key’.

***15mSilentMed***

Ok so when I finally settled in enough to bring awareness to my heart area, I found (sensed) my heart as ‘wrung taut’ – a bit like a fox found by a terrier at the dead end of a hole. Why is this?

You’ve been running on Head, and Heart has been loping along behind trying to keep up.

Again?! Still?!

The HeartShift you are invited to explore is subtle, and requires patience, trust and courage.

When I went into my heart just now I felt pain welling up.

Healing upon healing upon healing is the work of our times. By bringing awareness to the Heart, the healing occurs.

Feel it to heal it… How best can I do this awareness work?

{Constant heart check-ins} perform a vital task. Ask yourself, ‘How does my Heart feel about this next action, meal, conversation, activity, experience..?” Become conversant with your Heart. You don’t always need to follow its will, but as clear as day is day, you most certainly will learn that not following the heart creates minor aggravation at the least, and exhaustion and burnout as the typical outcome. You will, dear friend, learn to trust the messages of your dear Heart.

Big leap, isn’t it? To start to follow Heart not Head.

And yet a minor tweak is all that is needed to steer the ship onto a whole new course, towards a whole new destination.

Ok, I’ll do these Heart Check-Ins, and become more conversant with my Heart. May I be granted the wisdom and patience to do this properly and to learn to hear my Heart’s voice, and act upon it faithfully, consistently, unconditionally.

I’ll stop Head-charging my life, like a bull in a china shop…

I’m prepared to listen to my softer nature, and trust it.

I am constantly checking-in with my Heart

“Heart, what say you?”

Git up, git on up, git up, git on up…

Ah, yes… time to get up. Thank you!

Peak 112: I am speaking through my Heart

I am so grateful for the guidance to ‘keep your head’. It acts as a comforting hand on the shoulder, grounding and anchoring me. It reminds me that it is entirely within my gift to keep ‘upright’, to remain ‘tethered’ to my bright inner anchor.

This morning (a Sunday), I have been reading a beautiful, nourishing book: The Great Awakening (2012). I liked this:

Why are you here? What’s going on at the Universal level? We are basically a universe of Light. Duality has not been the norm, and only exists in dimensions below the 4th. Duality is in all separate from Source. We live as individual egos in 3D-4D. This is not so in 5D upwards. Only a small part of this universe is experiencing the lower vibrations and this duality experiment. In this dimension and higher the civilization of light is returning to Source creator – finding its way back to Source.

Some civilizations ran into a problem ascending. These civilizations discovered that by existing in light alone they encountered a level where ascension slowed and almost stopped. They could not easily go higher. So the Divine plan was to drop into the lowest dimensions and experience what we could learn.

Why? There is zero negativity in the higher dimensions where all is light. There is simply no state of conflict resolution and no ability for an individual or collective to make decisions. In the lower dimension where we are this is the norm. Everything is conflict resolution. Everything! In the higher dimensions this problem of indecision results from the lack of negativity or duality.

Some higher civilizations in the universe reached a level of light where growth stopped because they could not make the decisions needed to choose what to do next. Without making choices where do you go? You become stagnant or stalemated.

The Divine Plan was set forth. We created a place of duality and negativity, an Earth school which would become a solution for this problem. It was designed to explore and experience negativity, the opposite polarity. Duality was born for solutions rather than just to create vortexes.

Duality is the theme of this worldly experience but has not been the greater part of the universal experience. But how, now when we are in our smallest individualized components for experiencing this duality, how do we ascend back? We raise our frequency. (The Great Awakening p17)

In other words (my paraphrase):

All 5D light => hard to make decisions => stalemate ensues

Divine plan was developed to drop frequency down to 3D (duality, negativity, polarisation, ego/head) to learn decision making (IE. CONFLICT RESOLUTION) as a means to developing our creator minds and learning consciously about raising frequency.

Mind-blowing for me who has turned to the art of conflict resolution as my work in this world. Thank you!

And how to raise frequency?

Step 1: Heart activation (and leaving ego/head orientation). See pg54+.

I’m feeling grateful for the insight into the Conflict Resolution theme. I’m keen to spend some time contemplating this heart shift business. I’m exhausted from working in a way which is still ‘5D speaks 3D’… Is that a fair comment?

We are grateful you continue to come here for an education from your soul. You truly have a great deal to say to yourself and the learning is, thankfully, never ending. Your comment on ‘5D speaks 3D’ misses something. 5D is a state – it’s not a place, or a peak on a hill, or an alternative ‘position’. It is an ‘encompassing’ dimension. It encompasses 3D quite easefully, and finds no otherness in it.

Ah. Of course. But does the 5D frequency not need to adapt to the language of the 3D?? To be understood?

True 5D is not Communicatory as you are used to communication. You are used to communication which has a communicator and a receiver – and you ‘turn up the volume’ to hear or be heard. 5D on the other hand is attracting, magnetising. When you reach an insight, you resonate with the Knowing at hand. The Knowing (message) is/was always there to be received. The receiver must approximate the Knowing.

Ah, hence, when I say here, ‘Speak up, please!’, nothing happens. But when I get really quiet, settled, calm, neutral and receptive inside, information becomes apparent?

Yes.

So, if a great deal of my work in the world is training, I’ve got some difficulty there… because training is about transmitting knowledge…

And…

And, when I’m training well, it’s about drawing the knowledge from the participants themselves.

Thus facilitating their connection with their inherent knowing.

So, less ‘telling’, more ‘facilitating’… would be good. Would be less tiring?

Exactly.

This is the new model of teaching, isn’t it?

21st Century living requires two key skills:

Information download/upload
Discernment / decision-making

So today, I uploaded this book on heart activation. Now I need discernment to decide how to use what I have received.

Let’s read.

-48-

In the pursuit of learning, every day something is added.

In the pursuit of the Tao, every day something is dropped.

Less and less is done until you come to action without striving.

When you follow this practice, nothing remains undone.

All under heaven is won by letting things take their course.

Nothing can be gained by interfering. (The Tao Te Ching 48)

Spot on. So: don’t add extra stuff as a reaction to the reading about heart activation. Drop things instead!

As Stenudd translates it:

Those who seek the Way, / Let go of something every day.

I need to ponder this… What shall I let go of?

***12mSilentMed***

Let go of ‘personal ambition’, you say? What does that mean and why?

Personal ambition equates to STS and is a heart-blocker.

*Squeak* Right-then-well-I-see-fair-enough! And replace it with..? STO.

Systematic STO. Not fly-by-night, seat-of-pants, happy-byproduct of the STS work.

Crumbs. No holds barred today, then. But thank you. What do you mean by systematic service to others?

Systematic STO is planned, regular, scalable. Its clarity and regularity allows heaven to steer the input/output. You hold (firmly and with faith) a framework which can be used by Spirit.

CoDialogue Labs. Or zummit like that.

Yes.

Those who seek the Way, / Let go of something every day.

Let go of unpredictability, extras, chaos… Settle on the One Thing? ..So ‘heaven can take its course.’

Committing to One Thing takes faith, courage and, of course, commitment.

I have this phrase (5Y vision to 2025): ‘Make Mediation Mainstream’.

Sounds good. Can you let go of everything else? Can you say ‘No’ to the things that are-not-this? How will you know when you are working towards MMM, and when you are not?

I need to get soft inside. I need to work with the Universe, not ‘at’ it. I need to be receptive, and to resonate with the Knowing available. I need to activate Heart, and calm, settle, decommission Head.

Oh God, bless my Heart that it may strengthen and bloom. May we all gather the courage and wisdom to work from our Hearts. May we get in tune with our Hearts and speak through and from them. May we trust that the Heart-centred way is the Way. May we all speak Heart-to-Heart. May we let go of the Head’s fixation on the Thousand Things. May we tune in to the Heart’s channel, which is Love FM, and play only its melodies. May we play the songs of our Hearts, across this planet. Keep my Heart activated, enlivened and prominent in my decision-making, my utterances and my actions. Bless us all as Heart-Centred beings.

I am speaking through my Heart

Peak 111: I am keeping my head

Briefly as I run out the door for a 7th day of work on the trot… (It’s Saturday, furgoodnessake!) Let’s read.

-47- Without going outside you can know the ways of the world. Without looking through the window you can see the way of heaven. The farther you go the less you know. Therefore, the True Person arrives without travelling, perceives without looking, and acts without striving. (The Tao Te Ching 47)

Ha, very apt. “Without going outside…” Darn right. Too much travel, movement, busying. Though I do love meeting people. I even think my introversion is fading into extraversion!! Seriously. Amazing stuff. But… here we are invited to cultivate ‘arrival’, ‘perception’ and ‘action’ without travelling, pushing or striving. Help me centre myself today.

***Med***

I have this image of my wearing a wizard’s hat and wielding a magic wand.

This is an image of ancient wisdom. If (as Stefan Stenudd asserts) Kant could become a world-renowned philosopher while never going further than 10 miles from his own home town, be assured that you have the wisdom you need for today within you.

When others are losing their heads, keep yours. When others are feeling burdened, remain burden-free. This is your gift to your colleagues and students today.

Like a wizard, like a ballerina, like a monarch. Keep your head upon your shoulders today. Retain the inner poise you are cultivating through the image of the Inner Anchor.

‘IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs…’

I am keeping my head

Peak 110: I am cultivating contentedness

The wedding was completely stunning. My ‘cool, calm and collectedness’ was tested maximally as I was due to sing a song at the end of the ceremony… G. reached over and said brightly, “Anchors away!” – the perfect, gentle reminder to me to call upon and strengthen the inner anchor. I still have a way to go with remaining neutral (funny for someone whose job is literally to be a neutral), but I am observing this with care and self-compassion.

A good success was some quarterly goal-setting over the week in Portugal, which sprang for me a whole 5 Year Vision of creating local labs for peace, dialogue and consultative decision-making. How will I have the nerve to do the innovative stuff?

Paso a paso. No short cuts. Develop the relationships. Go into listening mode. Learn from others. Trust. Listen. Trust.

You are invited to birth something new. If you want.

I need help getting it right.

Think about creating something so simple that other people would want to copy it.

Aha… as opposed to something so niche it is clearly a me-only gig?

There is value in simple concepts which deliver ‘the goods’.

Please download the necessary information into my mind.

Let’s read.

-46- When the Tao prevails in the world swift horses are used to fertilise the fields. When the Tao is unheeded war horses are bred on the border lands. There is no greater offence than harbouring desires. There is no greater disaster than discontent. There is no greater misfortune than wanting more. Hence, if you are content you will always have enough. (The Tao Te Ching 46)

Oof, this is a powerful chapter, challenging us to drop our offensive desires, our disastrous discontent and our misfortunate wanting more. On the upside, we are reassured that ‘if you are content you will always have enough’.

Contentedness is a beautiful topic. I do know how cultivating contentedness liberates us from despair, sadness, anger, self-pity…

How best can I cultivate contentedness?

***Med***

When we affirm our contentedness, we settle internally. We know that the world is conspiring to support us, and this brings a smile to our face! We relax into the moment, ceasing to push or even to foster change. We are not needing to tweak, pick at or amend the circumstances. We are content to let the present conditions reveal their perfection to us. The result? Increased bliss, joy, awe.

And what of tricky or unfair circumstances?

We give thanks for the fact that they are teaching us what we want, that they are providing us opportunity to envision what we know to be the next step. And we return our minds to the vision of ‘what we are wanting’.

As Abraham says…

“You are knowing what you are wanting?”

Peace. Inside and out.

Can you find contentedness from the peace you do currently find, inside and out?

Yes! I can playfully seek out and affirm the peace I cherish. I can find it in a deep breath, in the woods by my house, in the loos of a busy cafe, in the face of a passing baby… I can be contented in that! May I cultivate this contentedness daily, moment by moment. May we all cultivate contentedness so that our chafing for change falls away, and we realise the perfection in each other. May our politicians cease their rancour. May the unity of all ages be upon us, so that we can appreciate the perfection of each other and this glorious planet.

Amen

I am cultivating contentedness

Peak 109: I am cool, calm and collected

A brief one today. It is the wedding day of our beloved ones. I’ve had good time in the last 24 hours to contemplate the co-co consciousness proposition. I think there is so much for me there. Much to channel into my vision of my next 5 / 10 years.

-45- Great accomplishment seems incomplete, yet its use is not impaired. Great fullness seems empty, yet it will never be drained. Great straightness looks crooked. Great skill appears clumsy. Great eloquence sounds like stammering. Movement overcomes cold, stillness overcomes heat. The calm and quiet set right everything under heaven. (The Tao Te Ching 45)

I like simply the notion of ‘calm and quiet‘. I think that will be helpful for me today. Some reading I did this morning reminded me of the power of being in the neutral state – with the polar opposites of positive / negative being a somewhat old-school, 3D ‘conundrum’:

Shoshanna: Manifestation from a neutral point of view is creation at its purest form. Creation at its purest form is neutral. God energy, Source energy is neutral. So when a human being can come to a point of neutrality in the manifestation process, it is at its purest form.

The idea of manifesting from a positive or a negative point of view is a third-dimensional point of view. It is a third-dimensional manifestation imbued with attachments, imbued with desires for a particular result. When the human being can come to a place of complete neutrality, that which is manifested is perfect for that experience. Does this help you?

Yesterday, G saw ‘CCC’ written on my wrist to remind me of ‘Co-Co Consciousness’ (Peak 108 phrase). Is that “Cool, calm and collected?” Maybe that’s my phrase for today?

Beautiful. You can see yourself as a gear stick in neutral: cool, calm, collected – and ready for movement. You will all be bearing witness to the love of your beloveds for each other. Bring them your collective light. Bring them your Collective Light. That is the role of the wedding party: to hold the couple in Collective Light. The best way to do that is to be poised, anchored, settled – so that the light can radiate through you all. Cool, calm and collected is fun, also, for those prone to heat, fizz and dispersal!

Ha! Well as TTC 45 says above: Movement overcomes cold, stillness overcomes heat. Let me be still inside today, so I can add to the Collective Light. May my loved ones be eternally blessed in their love for each other. May we be blessed by bearing witness to their love. Amen.

I am cool, calm and collected

Peak 108: I am co-co conscious

Hello dear voice of my inner guidance. I’m happy to be back to myself, and to the sources that inspire and comfort and reassure and inform and centre me.

I’ve just read the 10 year anniversary (2015) new preface of A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. He reminds us of how the caterpillar becomes temporarily dysfunctional before transmuting into the butterfly – and how the same goes for society when it’s shifting from ego-dominant consciousness to awakened (present moment) consciousness. There can be a resurgence in the ego consciousness, but ‘eventually, the ego brings about its own demise’.

I’m reflecting today on how, while for two decades I have pondered much on the phenomenon of the unravelling of society as it shifts paradigm, for a while I became mute and shocked and didn’t act on what I knew…

[Interrupts] Not factual, dear soul, though your self-deprecation is acknowledged. You have always been an urgent mimicker of your own internal intuition. What is occurring now is a willingness to engage that knowledge on the ground in the human landscape.

Meaning?

Meaning… The way that people who ‘know’ are coping with that knowledge is changing.

Tbh, I have been overwhelmed a bit over the last few years…

We told you 2012 would be a game-changing year.

That is true. I didn’t know that what it would do was accelerate the dysfunction and breakdown and unravelling. :/

So important to focus on the increased up-function, break-through and up-ravelling!

Man, this is so true. Can you imagine if I started – really seriously inside my soul, head, mind and words – to start singing my praises of the societal Awakening I’m aware of?! …If I took my attention off the disintegrating caterpillar and refocussed my sight on the emerging butterfly?!

I know, through my conflict resolution work and my mental health work, we really are learning to COLLABORATE, to CONVERSE, to COMMUNICATE… better than ever before! I see the next generation, and they break my heart in to renewed forms with their powerful love and insight. I know that love overcomes hate, and indignant hate never impinges for a second on the original flow of hate.

Let’s read…

-44- Your integrity or your body: Which is more important? Your body or your possessions: Which is worth more? Gain or loss: Which is more harmful? Thus it is that the miser will pay much. The hoarder will suffer great loss. Be content with what you have and you will not be disgraced. Know when to stop and you will be preserved from danger. Only in this way will you long endure. (The Tao Te Ching 44)

To me, this relates to your notion of a couple of days ago: CONSOLIDATE. Stop inventing new wheels. Capitalise on what has been learnt, accrued, developed, achieved, established.

Sit back on your heels.

Ok. I get that. Yes. ‘Know when to stop.’

And when to start. Apathy is gone. Right action – without striving – is invited.

How will I carry out the blog/interview idea?

Building up gently. Offer articles to magazines – thus get a real sense of ‘researching’. Own your themes: MEDS and MEDIATION/RESOLUTION

Aha. Yes. ‘I write about mental health and conflict resolution’?

If you like. Or more positively..?

I write about collaboration, conversation, communication, contemplation, cooperation…?

More like it…

‘I should co-co’?

Boom. *mic drops*

*scurries off to find ref*[ https://wordhistories.net/2018/12/18/should-cocoa/]

…consciousness…

I am co-co conscious. How about that?

Spot on. Play with that and enjoy its richness and light…

Peak 107: I am entering New Earth

So, I know that I’m seeking to anchor myself into this reality, and yet, really, the best Peace-Reacher-Teacher learning comes from channelled sources. I’ve been seeking to steer away from that matter in this online version of my diaries, but I’m prepared to remain anonymous here for the foreseeable in order to be able to speak my truth. My truth is that the channelled material available to us is quite literally out-of-this-world. And tapping into it again, because I didn’t so much for a while, gives me Peace. These are my Peace-Reacher-Teachers.

And your human Peace-Reacher-Teachers?

G, without a doubt. And I’m sure many others. But largely, my tribe (country?) is frazzled and fried from applying heartfelt, compassionate, critical attention on the echo chamber of 3D division in our politics. And so am I.

I know I have been flickering away from my human Peace-Reacher-Teachers. Like Deborah (Healing Space) and Maria (Nourish) and Jeremy (Qigong). I’ve been trying to focus on my ‘work’. I keep putting ‘Book appointment with [xyz amazing Peace-Reacher-Teacher]’ on my to do list and then prioritising other things.

The result being: I’m trying to carry out my resolution work and interpersonal life while carrying around trauma and exhaustion…

The 5D teachers remind me of the bigger picture however. And that makes it easier to drop ‘work’ and prioritise Work.

[This article] is a case in point. Beautiful. Deep. Light. Nourishing and reassuring to my soul because it talks about ‘that which I sense and intuit yet no one in my surroundings is talking about it, so I start to feel crazed’… until I read these writings, and feel ‘Yes, this is it, and I’m not alone, and I can learn from these deep souls’.

So how can you ‘convert’ this learning to your 3D world?

I can certainly learn from the human teachers and share that learning, openly.

How?

For example in my public/professional blog.

And what of the fact that this will be ‘unpaid work’ for you..?

Ergh… You know me so well. Well, I think that such public writing will bring new clients to me. So, it will be my marketing strategy. To interview expert Peace-Reacher-Teachers, and highlight their knowing.

Leap of faith, no?

Yes! Huge. I can start to see it though… Let’s read:

-43- The most yielding of all things overcomes the hardest of all things. That which has no substance enters where there is no crevice. Hence, I know the value of action without striving. Few things under heaven bring more benefit than the lessons learned from silence and the actions taken without striving. (The Tao Te Ching 43)

Uff! My oh my…. ‘I know the value of action without striving.’ Perfect for me today… I’ve actually been awake since about 4am in a state of high internal panic and psychological labouring (here on ‘holiday’!).

Is this to correct me about the idea of doing interviews with the Peace-Reacher-Teachers? Is that idea too ‘strivey’?

Wheel-spinning is always an option to be selected or deselected. Confidence, vision and compassion to self and others always calms and reduces striving. It is helpful to know that love reduces the sense of impending doom. And the reduction in the sense of impending doom reduces the wheel-spinning. So injecting love into our thoughts and plans is key.

And how do we ‘inject love into our thoughts and plans’?

Injecting love into thoughts and plans is done by assisting our inner nervous system to enter the parasympathetic state as often as possible so that we become accustomed to acting as a channel for the vibrations and frequencies of love. Does that make sense to you?

Yes, very much so. Like when having a good massage, or meditating in a group… we slide into that relaxed held state. It feels blissful, or ‘heavenly’.

Blissful and heavenly feelings mean that you are vibrating in the state of the higher frequencies. Doing this as often as possible assists the body to relax into channel mode on a regular basis. It is really valuable to learn how to step out of the sympathetic state at will. Really valuable. And your Peace-Reacher-Teachers will teach you how to do that. Trust in their teaching. Know that this learning is crucial for you if you are serious about continuing your work in the ‘resolution’ field. You can really only enter this work on a permanent basis, if self-care and de-traumatisation become a permanent part of your self-care schedule. Take this seriously, and your ability to do the resolution work will soar.

Wow. Ok. So actions so far:

Reconnect with channelled Peace-Reacher-Teachers here (anon)
Reconnect with human Peace-Reacher-Teachers (Deborah, Maria, Jeremy, Eliza…) as a subject and student
Learn from them and write it up on professional blog – like a curious detective – reboot the blog with the focus on teachers and my learning, not on me jazzhanding / vaunting.
Keep this self-care, detraumatisation, parasympathetic practice going permanently.
Let these actions occur without my striving.

The way I see this 5D work, and the non-striving, is something to do with the phrase ‘New Earth’. Can we meditate on this?

***10med***

Man, there is so much trauma in me. Time to release it. Tried to do TRE, but people starting to wake up. It’s windy out. Every time someone goes to the loo a door slams hard enough to shake the roof… This is all learning. (eg. should have followed instinct to see Deborah for TRE session before leaving for Portugal.) Non-striving is NOT passivity. Lao Tzu talks about the ‘value of action without striving’. That is, there is value in action! Just ensure you act in a state of assurance.

Jesus… If I hear another door smash shut, I am going to weep. I’m like a coiled spring. Help.

Entering New Earth involves:

walking firmly through the storm
crossing the darkened room boldly
taking action
saying no
saying yes

Entering New Earth (5D) is an AFFIRMATIVE action, not a vague idea. Any affirmative action requires composure and vision. Hold vision. See a door. See yourself entering it. Walk through it. Close the door behind you.

Slam the door behind you?

If you like! 🙂 Enter. Enter. Enter.

Ok. I hear you. Without striving, efforting, wheel-spinning, vaunting or jazzhanding, we enter New Earth.

We are all entering New Earth. That is the work of the age, isn’t it?

I am entering New Earth

Peak 106: I am curious about the Peace-Reacher-Teachers in my life

There is much relief to be had in taking a blanket approach to loving and approving of the others in our midst. The mind needs less judgment, not more. Attesting to the perfection of others is a way of swimming with the current of creation, not against it.

I am keen to get into the mode of deep thinking about my next quarter. Or light thinking. Whatever is required. Sensing, intuiting. The need is to see the path ahead, twinkling… as opposed to inventing a purple palace to build on a hill and then taking a spade to start building an entirely new path up the hillside.

What’s ripe?

Let’s read:

-42- The Tao gives birth to the One. The One gives birth to two. Two gives birth to three. And three gives birth to the ten thousand things. The ten thousand things have their backs in the shadow while they embrace the light. Harmony is achieved by blending the breaths of these two forces. People dislike the words “alone,” “helpless,” “worthless,” yet this is how Princes describe themselves. So it is that sometimes a thing is increased by being diminished and diminished by being increased. What others teach I also teach: “A violent person will not die a natural death.” I shall make this the basis of my teaching. (The Tao Te Ching Chap 42)

The line ‘A violent person will not die a natural death’ reminds me that over-exertion and efforting are not conducive to human health. We can do a violence to ourselves by straining, pushing and over-cooking our own puddings.

The line ‘sometimes a thing is increased by being diminished and diminished by being increased’ brings me to the recollection that maybe I can achieve more in this next ’12 Week Year’ period by doing less.

Peak ‘activity’ has been reached?

Well, I urgently need to take urgency out of my life! 😉 That’s for sure. I need to become super-grounded, super-anchored. How?

Your focus has been on growth; now you can focus on consolidation.

Yes! Consolidation of the year so far would be really good.

So what’s the Vision? ‘Tactics’ follow.

I can only guess that it’s linked to the Reach Peace; Teach Peace mission of this year…??? :-///

Why the long face?

The sense of challenge about it.

Challenge?

Both to attain peace, and then to – in any way – ‘tell’ others about it… :-/ Who am I? etc…

Who are you not? etc Who else are you waiting for to do this work instead of you? Why do you think doing this work makes you special? Is it not apparent from earlier dialogues that the Reach Peace; Teach Peace mission applies to all people? This is not some special messianic role for you, dear being of light. It is the work of the age. Each may enter into the spirit of this work in their own way, or not, or choose to go against it. The fact is that everyone most certainly is choosing one of those options. There is no passive way.

Tcho. I needed that. Thank you. I need to repeat this bit and hear it hard:

“Is it not apparent from earlier dialogues that the ‘Reach Peace; Teach Peace’ mission applies to all people? This is not some special messianic role for you, dear being of light. It is the work of the age.”

So, maybe part of leaving behind my awkward sense of selfhood is to explore the work of others who are Reaching Peace and Teaching Peace?

Yes! At last! Super! :-))))

Ok. This is good. This is a big leap – and a bursting of a big cumbersome bubble.

May my attention turn to those who are reaching peace and teaching peace. May I become a curious, diligent student of their learning.

Suddenly, my vision for the Quarter of Consolidation is this:

The Reach-Peace-Teach-Peace Mission is the work of the age and so my Vision is to:

Offer a service to assist people to Reach-Peace-Teach-Peace on their own terms (Professional vision)
Learn from the Peace-Reacher-Teachers around me (Personal)

And next I can work out ‘Tactics’. Phew. Good. The pressure of ‘performance’ is sliding away. I am in detective, student mode instead. My curiosity is rising…. and I have some good new phrases…

Peak 105: I am attesting to the perfection of my loved ones

And suddenly, here I am in Portugal! I’m sitting out on a veranda at 8am next to a blue, blue sky, with birds gabbling in the trees around me. We’re all here for a family wedding – we really are all bringing the love. #BTL

We have an entire glorious week here. I’m interested to know what insights might arise during the week. It’s the end of my ‘Quarter’ (end of Sept) and the opportunity to reflect on how the last 3 months of 2019 might look for me. I’m reading The 12 Week Year on audiobook too. I’m ready to make 2019 Q4 ‘count’. I am reaching out to the edges and depths of my internal wisdom for guidance on this.

I cannot overstate the outer turmoil in our political landscape at the moment. The division, the spitting hatred, the trickery, the illusion-spinning, the psychopathy. May my – may all our – actions count in these days. May we learn the lessons available to us, and act upon our insights.

There is a time to sit still, and there is a time to act.

And this moment is..?

This moment is a time to sit still so that you know how best to act.

Granted. I really can sit still this week (amidst the moving about!) and let the inside voice do the talking. No more wheel-spinning. No more walking about this planet with unprocessed trauma in my body.

Let’s read:

-41- The wise student on hearing the Tao diligently puts it into practice. The average student on hearing the Tao keeps it one minute and loses it the next. The mediocre student on hearing the Tao laughs at it loudly. If this student did not laugh it would not be the Tao. Therefore, the ancient proverb says: The bright path seems dull. The path that goes toward seems to lead backward. The even path seems up and down. The greatest whiteness seems soiled. High Virtue seems like a canyon. Abundant Virtue seems deficient. Vigorous Virtue seems limp. Simple Virtue seems faded. The greatest square has no corners. The greatest vessel takes long to complete. The greatest note is hard to hear. The greatest image has no shape. The Tao is hidden and nameless; yet, it is the Tao alone that supports all things and brings them to completion. (The Tao Te Ching Chap 41)

Stenudd reflects that the Tao is ‘laughable’ to the mediocre student in the way that new science breakthroughs are laughable to the sceptics at first. He also unravels some of this apparent ‘deficiency’ in the Tao:

‘Tao in its yielding humility seems dim, whereas we expect great truth to shine like gold. Its progress seems retreating, because it makes little noise and shuns the spectacular. Its course seems curved and twisted, because it accomplishes its goals indirectly and discreetly.‘ (Ref)

There’s learning here for me with regards to our undertaking actions that ‘count’. We are invited to accomplish our goals indirectly and discreetly. What’s notable to me is that the Tao / Way is not about being goalless. We can take aim and hold intention; we simply ensure that our actions are not noisy or attention-seeking.

So the focus is on the delivery not the deliverer?

Yes, I guess so. Or on the ‘delivered’ – the outcome? Imagine if my goals involved undertaking a project which did not have my name on it… I say this because so much of what I do, I append my name to, so that people can attribute due credit to me.

We know how confusing the notions of anonymity and acclaim/acknowledgement are to you. We see this in your day-to-day thinking. You dart between the two.

Think of Amelie, and the fun she had in anonymous love-bringing…

In the end she sought love in her actual real life though, no?

Yes… Ok, answer me this! How on Earth (and I use that term advisedly) does one actually do the following?: ‘The wise student on hearing the Tao diligently puts it into practice.‘

***Med***

Shine the light on others to reveal their goodness, their perfection.

No more griping, back-biting, quipping, complaining about others. Be clean of tongue.

Attest to the perfection of your loved ones, and then your care for others’ regard of you will diminish and vanish away.

Is this something I need to be proactive in, or is this a slant to apply in the moment? And how to undertake this without being fawning, annoying or subservient?

Curiosity about the way the divine is revealing itself through each individual is sufficient.

And what form might that take?

The mirror reflects the light it sees.

But not the darkness…?

0 + 0 = 0

Darkness is a non-factor then…

An important thing to remember when the ego seeks to reflect the darkness it believes it sees in another: the ego can only speak of itself.

‘The bright path seems dull.’ Darkness on the other hand can seem enticing, glamourous…

Hear the innocent church bells ringing out in the village behind you.

Pretty, sentimental, but not enticing, I guess?

‘The bright path seems dull.’

It’s true, one part of me loves to gripe and quip about others… It’s a way I make myself interesting or vital or clever (ie. non-dull) to others. It’s my favourite vaunting tool – and it must be a real dampener for those I’m with. Also, I must tire myself when I do. Resting in others’ perfection is something I need practice at.

Attest to the perfection of your loved ones.

Good practice. Very good spiritual practice. And a calming way to get out of my ego mode, so that I can better be in a blue-sky thinking state. Thank you for this.

I am attesting to the perfection of my loved ones.
