About 2012... Truth or Myth?

  What can one say about the concept of a major event occurring within our existence here on this planet, which can, and will completely alter how we live. Well, this sort of thing happens to us, as the Human species every day. One would simply have to pay attention to the latest newscast in whatever form you wish, to hear, or to see, that there has been a tornado which wiped out an entire village; an earthquake which has devastated an entire region of a country; a tsunami which has erased hundreds of thousands of humans and animals; a war which is responsible for the loss of millions of lives; an epidemic, a flu virus, which has the same end of removing life; a flood which has destroyed homes, towns, cities, etc., etc..

 Suffice to say, I can certainly continue to demonstrate, that the human species has endured a multitude of experiences from the beginning of recorded time, which have potentially threatened its very existence here on earth. I need not remind us of the 'end of days' theory, found within the bible, or the theory of all things computerized going astray when the year 2000 came. These turnout to be just conjecture, myth!

Yet here we are, millions of years later, still talking about another event which shall occur in our very near future, that will potentially change our way of life here on earth ... yet again.

The event I speak of is what so many are talking, speculating, and rationalizing about: The Awakening of 2012! 

Now, there are certainly many who are accumulating evidence to support this very premiss, of a shift in the vibrational force which holds and keeps our planet in place, as well as, a shift within the global parameters. The shift, will of course, also be reflected in the expression of what is referred to as Spirit here on earth. The implication clearly being, that the species as a collective consciousness, and all subspecies, as an agreement of life, is renegotiating, raising its vibrational output to achieve a more enlightened approach to life here on this planet, a changing of the arrangement of molecules to support this shift. 

I would submit to all those who actually make this claim, and or support this premiss of a major shift in 2012, from an intuitive standpoint, to go further within your consciousness of Love, and to be at peace with whatever occurs within or without our globe!

The planet has been in existence for approximately 4.54 billion years, with life know to exist approximately close to 1 billion years. We have survived through much of the turbulence of the last five to ten thousand years, and we will continue to adapt to whatever circumstances are presented to us here on, and within this planet. 

From the standpoint of our Spirit essence, our Souls, our God-like nature, if we believe this expression to be eternal, or infinite, then clearly we will always exist, and we will continually be in a state of transition towards a higher, more elevated, or God like existence. I believe this to be the plan of the Oneness of Spirit.

 

So, what I am actually suggesting here, is to all those who claim 2012 to be a time of a more enlightened actualization of the True Self, I humbly ask of you: take a deep breath, live your life today within that breath, within every moment, and endeavor to be a good example of the expression of: peace, of goodness, of kindness, of gentleness, of compassion, of rightful thinking, and mainly, a strong example of Love, towards yourself, and others. This we can truly affect with conscious effort! 

Leave the rest, to the Spirit of the Oneness, referred to as GOD!! 

As for the truth or myth of any shift occurring in 2012, that remains to be seen, felt, or heard, in the future; today is right here .... right now, so be present, and make it count!

Channeling... What is it??

I thought I would add a few thoughts about this ongoing phrase that is constantly bantered around: 'Channeling'. I often times find myself asking , 'what does it actually mean to channel', 'does one really understand what exactly is happening when this claim is made'? Now, I have read and heard, many diverse explanations as to what this is, and yet despite all my efforts to comprehend, I am still at a bit of a loss. Here is why! 

We have an expression, a prayer, an authentic intent, that most wish to aspire to even today, from one deemed a saintly person, Francis of Assisi. The expression is, The Prayer of St Francis: 'Make me a Channel of your Peace', which most people are familiar with.  This writing, as I see it,  is a request of and for the SELF, the Spirit within, a sort of setting of standards for the SELF to grow towards. The term Channel is used in the English translation, yet I would submit, that perhaps the true intent of this phrase is not Channel, but Instrument, as can be seen in some versions of the prayer. A beautiful expression of authentic intent which moves the Spirit as it is read, and then imbibed!

Can one claim that these words expressed in this instance, were Channelled, divinely inspired, given to Francis from an Arch Angel, or simply a movement of his inner being, embracing a more enlightened understanding of his quest to be Christ like. Acknowledging fully that this was his plight, and perhaps not ours! It would be safe to suggest that Francis of Assisi himself, would not make the claim that this expression was Channelled, I would think. Of course, I was not there, and did not hear from his own lips as to how, and why, this prayer came out of his consciousness. Yet, I claim it is fair to suggest, because history shows us that he was very devoted to his religion, and therefore would not put himself before his devotion to the ideologies of his church, by claiming that this was channelled. 

Our true connection of and with the Spirit within our being is immense, and from this state, I suppose, we can illicit understanding of the Spirit which enlightens our path. Is this a form of channelling, I would say that it is NOT. Yet more a reflection of the interconnectedness of the Total Self, an alignment with the Spirit of the Oneness, a unified array of the vortexes, a single impetus of thought creation, for the higher good of the Self, the Spirit within. Notice, that I am not suggesting the 'higher Self', yet the intent for the lifting of the Self, to hold more Light, more awareness. 

I often wonder why people make the claims they make. I have been a musician my entire life, well almost, and I sincerely make this claim after 40 years of cultivation of this art form. Knowing fully well that as a composer/musician, I have just begun to touch the surface of the understanding of this powerful tool, of organizing symbols (notes) in such a way, that as they are interpreted, expressed, they can potential be very uplifting and moving. This skill set has been cultivated from the gravitation of my inner being, to simply do this thing called music, and for no other reason. 

It is said of Mozart, that he wrote his music as if it was dictated to him, even channelled perhaps. Again, I would submit that I believe, his understanding of composition was perhaps more enlightened than most others, and therefore he was able to express this other understanding of music, at a much quicker, more precise rate than most other composers of his time, or even all of time. The rough drafts of his musical scores, are said to be without blemishes, no erased phrases to indicate a re-thinking of his ideas. As a composer I can tell you, that this is astounding! 

I can only conclued, that Mozart was truly endowed with a tremendous gift of the inner being, the Spirit within, (which was also extensively cultivated) to communicate and express music. His music was not channelled! 

It does not matter to me that one claims to be associated with certain Arch Angels, or other etherial Light beings, and therefore bring about thought creation that is intended to enlighten, assist, or even teach. What matters most to me, at least, is authentic expression, through the humble cultivation of the inner being, inner gifts, the Spirit within, knowing fully well that this is a process! 

What can we say about the concept of channelling? Well I suppose it is for the beholder to determine. As a Medium, attempting to express the movement of life within my being through music, as well as, the thoughts impressed upon my consciousness as I lecture, I am always astounded with the amount of cultivation that still needs to occur, despite being at this work for close to 15 years, and spending an enormous amount of time meditating, reading, learning, and cultivating. The expression of Mediumship, the communication of vibration from an etheric source, has come quite easily to me, just as music has, yet I believe, that I am never really there! Meaning there is more for me to cultivate, because after-all the Spirit of the Oneness within my (our) being, is not only immense, yet Infinite!!

Knowing ONESELF!

To be aware of oneself is the ultimate goal known to us here in the physical world. Every species found within our globe, has a semblance of its own reality. Each species also has an understanding as to how it fits in within the complex of this accumulation of life. Each time one species is eliminated from the complexity of our global matrix, another arises. Is this the divine plan, providence, or just sheer fortune/misfortune? Have we not yet recognized that perhaps all that transpires within our globe is entirely out of our control, and yet we can affect its very existence.

Knowing oneself within this vast field of awareness, within this hierarchy of less or more, within the struggle of contrast, must be the plan of the Oneness we refer to as God, otherwise those humans that created this understanding of our world need to be talked to, I would think!!

Knowing how I fit into the dynamic of my family, is extremely important to the notion of how I fit in within the societal make up. Many of us find it difficult to admit to our uniqueness within the family structure, perhaps acceptance from those who are linked biologically to you is paramount to the acceptance of the outside world. This acceptance gives clarity to one's place, within the structure of space and time. How I exist is directly linked to why I exist, and why I exist is directly linked to those who helped to bring me into the world. It can be a bit of a conundrum!

As we make peace with this notion, it becomes increasingly easier to express our gifts, to demonstrate who we are, and how we wish to be part of the world. Those who express the connection to the etheric world of the unseen, unheard, and unfelt, I believe, need to have a tremendous grounding in the idea of knowing, what exists within the carrier of their own being!!

Nonetheless, it seems to me that in the guise of Spirituality, many individuals make claims to their supposed connection to a discarnate intelligence, an ethereal being(s), which apparently is guiding, teaching, healing, and bringing further awareness to their plight.
I clearly, on many occasions, question the authenticity of these claims! I believe in our quest to enlighten, to be of service to the human species, and all surrounding species, we must never loose sight of the most important quest, to know ONESELF! It is in the knowing of Oneself that perhaps one can relate to another!

It is very easy to look at another as a healer, therapist, psychic, or medium, and point out their flaws, their inabilities, their strengths, their process towards love, and all that concerns them, in the guise of being of assistance, yet it is very rarely the case when one must deal with their own perceived dilemmas, inabilities, or even strengths!

Do I feel compassion for another's plight as I feel their pain, can I empathize, can I bring Light to this perceived darkness? In the milieu of Spirituality, one can claim to pray for another's healing, do hands on healing, reiki perhaps, energy work, yet the true acceptance of their pain, is perhaps the greatest extension of the healing intent. Knowing fully well that authentic healing occurs within one's being, despite another's intent, or desire to be of assistance. To know oneself is to know the pain one feels within themselves, as it relates to another. This foreign expression of pain may be in contrast to one's own experience, yet one must not run away from it in the fear that it may be too much to pain to bare. This is authentic growth of the Total Self!

Knowing how to help another, comes from one's ability to help themselves, for after-all the greatest teacher is one's own experience and process!
I believe that there are many who choose to help others, and in doing so, the choice of this process helps to heal their own inner hurts and pains. Yet, I would caution all who choose this path, that perhaps this is in a way, an avoidance of acceptance of ones reality, or pain. As a result of this thought process of being os service, helping another, when there is so much to be healed within the server themselves, I believe, what is created is total illusion, and therefore wrongful intent.

To know one's place within the family structure, is to know oneself within the structure of the Spirit of the ONE. Each sub unit (family) is a reflection of the understanding of God or Spirit, in the understanding of the temporal versus the non temporal, the real versus the non real.
Therefore, one's approach to the Oneness, is directly affected.
To balance the temporal versus the non temporal, is the plight of knowing the Total Self, and not just the knowing of fragments of the Self, which pertain to our existence within the global structure, earth.

Often times I tell my students of Spirit, to stop wasting so much time trying to connect with a Spirit (entity) outside their own body, and spend all of their time trying to connect to the Spirit encased within their own being. As one does this, then one connects to all that is the expression of Spirit.
It is far more important to know oneself totally, than it is to be psychic, to be a healer, a medium, therapist, doctor, musician, a natural path, a channeler, a chef, or whatever label you wish to claim.

As is always suggested to me from the voice within my being: "There is more, far more, just open your heart and mind, and prepare your SELF to receive!"
