The expansion of my "body" concept
now opens to include everything and everyone in my perceptual field.
This includes, of course, that FIRST PERSON level
of me............but it is, by no means, limited to that. And the
"magical" operations that are going on do not stop at that level
either. I can send forth a manifestation command, only to find that the
recipient of my "blessing" is my next door neighbor. In such a
case, have I failed? Did I "miss" the mark?
If I am a 3D Magician, I am moving from my
physical body, and my individuated personality to produce shifts and changes
in my "outer self." I would be wanting to do
"tricks," and then enjoy the adulation I can receive from
that. But if I am reconnecting with everything and
everyone..........where is the Trickster's playground? At whom can he
hurl his Trickster Snowballs where he does not also feel the cold and
the squash of impact? May he laughs, maybe he cries--but whatever he
does, he becomes aware that he is not alone anymore! He is ALL
ONE.
Are we having fun yet? Our Game is
undergoing some changes...........and what will come out of this is nothing
less than a MIRACLE. Steve Martin, in the movie ("Leap of
Faith") is just such a Trickster. He is an itinerant
preacher, who goes from town to town, and milks people for their money.
Not too much different from the preachers (and politicians) of today,
yes?
Then, one day, the preacher meets a young
boy. A cripple, who has the heart to believe. Rather than
suspecting this preacher's motives (like the town Sheriff
does)............this boy is willing to look past this fellow's human foibles,
and see right into the Reverend's Heart.......saying to him........"Namaste."
That faith results in a healing for the boy (he ends up throwing down his
crutches), for the entire town.
I have rarely seen this kind of intense reaction
with a Reconnections Transmission before. By asking us all:
"Do You Believe in Magic?".......the Guides have opened up a deep
wound.........a longing, and a dread..........that seems to penetrate down to
the bone. We want it, and we don't want it, all at the same time.
We have fears about devils, desires for angels, and downright anxiety about
our lives on the physical plane. I described this to one friend on the
phone as "a train wreck of motivations and emotions."
Conflicting desires, conflicting intentions. Is it any wonder that the
world feels at war?
We feel pain.........and that pain seems to
spread through us, like a virus, looking for the weak points in our faith and
our immune system. All I once, I can hear the voice of that tiny psychic
in the first version of the movie "Poltergeist," as she speaks to
the mother in that "haunted household." Of the spirit presence
that inhabits the house......the tiny medium says: "Close your
mind. It knows what scares you!" Indeed, it
does............
Recon Carion reminded me the other day that a
good deal of the physical pain and depression that people are reporting comes
from activations that are occurring in our bodies almost daily. We are
continually being "accessed" by incoming parts of the Expanded
Self..........even as we are being given access to Heaven and also the
Underworld. Sometimes our concept of ourselves is so vast, so majestic,
that we can barely contain it. At other times, we feel as though someone
has unplugged us from some Master Mainframe, and we lie shivering from the
feeling of desolation and despair.
No, we're not just talking about being
"Bi-Polar" here, though some of us are using that medical
definition to cope, during these times of rapid change. We're
actually dealing with many more "poles" of opposition than one
universe normally presents. We're speaking about being
MULTI-LINEAR.............functioning as a physical body that stands firm in
one physical reality...........but serves as a CONNECTION POINT for many
adjoining realities as well.
The effect that these energy surges have is
deafening, at times. But we each have a Guardian
Spirit in place that guarantees that we shall not be blown away by
them. As I said in a recent discussion on the board, our ability to
maintain stability during these fast-moving times depends upon our ability to
channel individual body energy through the entire Earth Plane. We must
use the entire planet to buffer these flows. In exchange for the added
buffering of flow that this produces, we deepen our actual identification and
connection with Mother Earth and Father Sky.
We are all one, and we're requiring ourselves to
perform RECONNECTION MAGIC every day, just to keep functioning on the
planet. If we do not, our "systems" start crashing. We
get exhausted, discouraged, and we begin to implode. This kind of power
flow and grandeur is not to be held by any one individual (or groups of
individuals) alone! If anyone tries to capture
it, the weight of it will eventually cause them to fall into a
dysfunctional heap.
I know that these days (and nights) are getting
to be challenging for many of us. We can't sleep, we often can't think
straight, and our sense of mission or continuity on the planet feels, at
times, likes its all over the place. It is at this time that we must
center and ground ourselves in the Now Moment, and simply acknowledge it all,
as self. There's a big difference between being self-centered and being
centered in self.
I asked one group I was leading if they felt like
they were ready to "own it all, as self," and one truthful fellow
replied: "No, but I might be willing to rent it for awhile, with an
option to buy!" Fair enough. A foot in the door is all that's
needed. After that, things work out the way they need to.
Are we ready for a miracle? Ready as
we can be. Are we ready for a miracle? Spirit will set us
free. Well.......you can hear how the song goes. I'm not too into
singing tonight...........well, maybe a little singing in words! However
it shakes down, we'll be right there......in the midst of it all. Of the
Neo-Shamans of the New Millenium, the Reconnections have this to say:
"As leadership for this
"new" experience, we can surely accept nothing less than the BEST of
what has come before. Whether one visualizes them as resurrected, born
again, the result of reincarnation, or simply Gods and Goddesses come down to
mix with mortals---there will appear shortly, upon the face of the Earth, a
race of priests and rulers---the souls of ancient and beloved Shamans and
Druids, come back to experience the final "act" of this play.
Indeed, they live and breathe upon the planet as we speak. Many of them
have purposefully "forgotten" who and what they are.
They wake up to normal jobs, as did Richard Bach's "reluctant
Messiah," yet they surely are not "normal." They
sit beside you at the diner, shop in your grocery stores, and lie on beaches
reading books and magazines.
These are the Children of Oneness, aged and seasoned to meet the need which
shall surely soon present itself! Though they were born "from the
old ways" and steeped in ancient customs and bygone disciplines, they
return today to stand beneath the Tree of Life. As thunder rolls
and temporary chaos shakes the Tree, these wise and wondrous beings shall
catch the ripe fruit, precisely where it falls."
We may not feel as though we're ready, at any
given moment, but we are. And that's the fun of it, to some
degree. It's also terrifying, but never mind that! We're living on
the edge now, and we're dancing down the 4D Corridor......dragging a whole
perceptual reality with us.
Allie Keys, a
character from Steven Spielberg's
"Taken," has become one of my favorite philosophers of
late. I know, I know........she's "just a movie character,"
right? Wrong. She's the embodiment of the spirit of a whole
generation. If you love Allie as much as I do, you'll probably enjoy
some of her depth of understanding, and her wisdom like I do. Here's a
site that features some of Allie's
quotes. I'll end this essay with one of them. It certainly
applies to our question about "Are you ready for a miracle?"
...........
"Some people have given up all hope of
anything in their lives every changing. They just go on with it day by day,
and if something were to come along and make things different they probably
wouldn’t even notice it right off, except for that kind of nervous feeling
you get in your stomach. My mom and I used to call that “the car trip
feeling,” because it was how I’d feel whenever I knew we were going to go
somewhere far away or somewhere new."
"Everyone knows not to stare into the sun. It’s something your mother
tells you when you’re a kid. “Don’t look at the sun or you’ll go
blind.” But sometimes you want to understand something so badly that
you’ll risk going blind for just a glimpse of what it all might be
about." (end quote).
Ah yes, Allie. I know what you mean.
What constitutes "blindness" in one realm, could produce extreme
sightedness in another. And then, when the two realms are joined, the
corresponding flashes of insight fairly light up the sky! And yes, my
friends........that is, indeed, MAGIC.
