Mystic Messages

Our ultimate ground of being – what the Chinese call the Tao – is the mystical oneness out of which all worldly manifestation flows. To see how the greater oneness is in constant process of giving birth to two – that yin and yang might then come together again and give birth to another one – is to hold the key to greater understanding of anything in the world.

Marianne Williamson

When we understand that we are all a part of the oneness, then we start to comprehend how we can be individuals and part of the whole at the same time. It is not either/or. It is always ‘and.’ Think of yourself as You, the Individual, AND You, the Member of the Community. Thus, the greater good of the Community can also be the greater good of You!

’Know thyself,’ the motto of the ancients, is the simplest but the grandest sermon that can ring within our ears. By the knowledge of nature do we honor nature; let us then consider the study that can give such knowledge; for by the knowledge of self may we master self, and by the improvement of self may we also improve mankind – to the advancement of the race, to the honor of the world, and to the glory of those who, in the march of time, will fill life’s broken ranks, and some day take our place.

Cheiro

From this book, published in 1949 after the death of Cheiro [1866-1936] we see how highly he held the idea of knowing oneself. The ancients also know how important this is. And, yet, we are often too busy to spend the time it takes to work on self-knowledge, to develop the skill of examining the self. Jump on the ‘Know thyself’ bandwagon and find a way to learn more about yourself, your gifts and talents, your Soul Purpose and your Life Mission. Scientific Hand Analysis is a great way to start!

So long as you can sweeten another’s pain, life is not in vain.  - Helen Keller, American author

Bonnie Louise Kuchler

Is your Mission to ‘sweeten another’s pain’?    [with thanks to Cass Mullane for the gift of this book – you sweeten my pain, Girlfriend!]

Mutual aid societies prefigure most functions of the modern state. They’re at least as old as armies, but their mission is life, not death. For millennia, people have banded together to provide one another with health care, pensions, unemployment aid, investment capital, buying power, aid to the poor, disaster relief, old age care, child care, culture, entertainment, political efficacy, education, food, shelter, and livelihoods. They have also leveraged their numbers to elicit some of these same benefits from those other two institutions, business and the government. Mutual aid extends the bonds of kinship and makes individuals into citizens.

Anya Kamenetz

The way of The Divine Feminine is to engage in ‘mutual aid’ without giving up our individualism. Each of us joining with the others creates a powerful force in the world of the 21st Century!

Shamans are people of the percept. When they want to change the world, they engage in perceptual shifts that change their relationship to life. They envision the possible, and the outer world changes. This is why a group of Inka elders will sit in meditation envisioning the kind of world they want their grandchildren to inherit.

Alberto Villoldo, Ph. D.

Let’s all envision the kind of world we want our grandchildren to inherit!

The fact that the discoveries show that we can use our connection consciously opens the door to nothing less than our opportunity to tap the same power that drives the entire universe. Through the oneness that lives inside of you, me, and all humans who walk the planet, we have a direct line to the same force that creates everything from atoms and stars to the DNA of life!

Gregg Braden

Contemplating connectedness is not just about philosophical exercise. It becomes the basis for co-creating our lives with the creative force of the Universe! This is how we express our uniqueness.

The human energy field appears to extend only a few feet beyond the body since, like the magnetic field of the Earth, it diminishes in strength very rapidly. Yet it also travels at the speed of light, connecting us to the luminous matrix of the entire Universe, known to the Inka as the texemuyo or all-pervading web.

Alberto Villoldo, Ph. D.

Each of us and all of us are connected to the ‘all-pervading web.’ That makes it all the more important that we each fire up our inner Light and connect it with every one else’s Light. Imagine what can happen when we raise consciousness to the point that we have a magnificently lighted ‘all-pervading web’! Do your part today!

Knowing that the Universe will help you puts you in a vibratory state of receptivity, which creates a vacuum. Whenever a vacuum is created, spiritual law dictates that the Universe will rush in to fill it with its vibratory equivalent. In other words, you get what you expect. So if two people drive to downtown Chicago on a summer weekend night and one expects to find a parking space and the other doesn’t, they’ll both be right: The person who expects support will get it, while the one who doesn’t, won’t.

Sonia Choquette

What is the ‘vibratory state of receptivity’ of the vision you have for your Life? Will there be a parking place or not? Be sure you are creating the space at the vibration level of what you WANT your vision to be. Then let the Universe fill that space!

Produced under the rigid control of laboratory conditions (perhaps for the first time), evidence arose of the powerful relationship that ancient traditions have held sacred for centuries. The DNA changed the behavior of the light particles – the essence of our world. Just as our most cherished traditions and spiritual texts have informed us for so long, the experiment validated that we have a direct effect on the world around us.

Gregg Braden

When Gregg Braden tells us about scientific experiments now documenting the impact that we humans, by our presence and our conscious observation, have on the world around us, then we need to accept our role in what is happening on the Planet. Our thoughts have power and effect. Be careful what you think for you are all-ways contributing to the collective consciousness!

…intelligence is plastic and modifiable. All of our experiences result in the formation of neuronal circuits. The richer, more varied, and more challenging the experiences, the more elaborate the neuronal circuits…the brain’s capacity for change – its plasticity – remains vigorous throughout our lives.

Richard Restak, M.D.

So maybe you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Every challenging conversation we have is carving new neural pathways in our brain. And every time we repeat an experience we deepen the hold that pathway has on us. Maybe it’s time to opt for ‘the more elaborate’ neuronal circuits and check in on the deepened pathways to make sure we want to keep them entrenched. Discussions that allow us to explore give us the option to create the new space in our brain for more elaborate, sophisticated understandings of human consciousness. I think I’ll keep growing ‘elaborate-ly’!
