Quote of the Month - Peter Sellers
They do not see beyond, and there is vastly more to perceive.
When a person is disempowered and has forgotten their true connection to and relationship with Source, then they believe that they need to get power from something/one/where external to themselves, that's where power struggles come into play. This will only ever result in a win-lose or lose-lose situation.
The relationship dynamics of disempowerment are victim and perpetrator, nag and aloof. None of which are empowered stances.
Realising that taking 100 percent responsibility for everything in one’s being and experiences in life is the first step to empowerment, the healing comes later. To reinstate harmony and create an empowered win-win in relationships takes an open heart and mind, patience, conscious awareness and skilfulness in action, which like all others skills comes with repeated application.
The Shadow
Simply put this is the part of the self that we cannot see. Others can see it clearly. It contains our judgements, right/wrong, good/bad, and likes/dislikes. The goal is to transform these into discernments healthy/ unhealthy. This frees us from being cut off from love/the divine flow.
Emotional Trauma and Memory
Over decades of facilitating shamanic journeys and healing sessions, it's became apparent to me that emotional trauma (ET) has a particular effect on individuals and the pattern repeats across the board with everyone - regardless of their belief system, culture, gender or life experience.
Simply, humans have an inbuilt survival coping mechanism, to forget things that are too unpleasant to remember and feel - suppression, resulting from emotional trauma.
Emotional trauma is not measured by an external amount of drama (like war), it's measured by the depth of impact it has on the individual experiencing it.
An example I've witnessed repeatedly in clients; A parent laughs at their child who mispronounced a word. Their amusement was not malicious, yet the child felt deep shame, causing them to make an internal vow, not to express themselves unless they are 100 percent right, for fear of judgement, ridicule and humiliation. This fear carries throughout their life, without their conscious understanding of why, as they've suppressed/ forgotten what occurred, it's been filed away subconsciously - they didn't consciously realise they made that vow with themselves.
The sorts of things they experience in life which drew them to seek healing and conscious evolution are; inequality in relationships - inability to stand up for themselves, allowing their life partner/others make decisions for them, depression and anxiety.
Incarnation, Excarnation and Reincarnation
The ET situation is compounded by the enormous process of incarnating, then excarnating, then reincarnating, which can go on for countless lives, until one master's life on Earth. How does that which is infinite compress itself into a unit of unity? With the sacred geometry of 'perfect nesting' - wheels within wheels. The pressure of this configuration, plus crossing the dimension of the Astral which unlike the Soul and Divine Dimensions has no light of its own and is aka 'the river of forgetfulness' in some traditions, whilst simultaneously obtaining an astral body (mental and emotional vehicle), this is a feat in itself. Then growing a body and being squeezed out of a very small doorway - well that in itself is enough to cause almost any/everyone to forget...
Our soul remembers all of its experiences. It's the strenuous nature of incarnating that causes us to forget, and the traumas we may have encountered in past incarnations that hold us back from joy, bliss and self-realisation. They must be cleared and harmonised to clearly recall.
My dear and recently departed friend and Master Sacred Geometer, Robert Lawlor reminded me that Pythagoras's mystery school was solely focused on the task of becoming conscious when reincarnating.
“Know thyself and thou
wilt know the universe.” - Pythagorus
I'm no longer concerned about mentally understanding answers to questions I've asked on this life-journey. It's only my ego that has the need to know. The questions have served their purpose, to dig deep enough to know the 'Absolute Truth' of the elephant in the room; I Am.
Self-realisation is an eternal journey, which is a very long time, especially towards the end, and truly I know nothing at all...
