Life’s Basic Dynamics…

 

A few thoughts about Life’s basic dynamics…
Through the stained glass filter of John Hutchinson

Life Energy

We are alive and conscious…now…We are aware that we are aware… Life is One Sacred Interwoven Spirit…

 

Awareness

Beyond all the roles and various identities we may entertain, we are pure awareness… One with Being… We are always more than we think we are….

 

Attention

What we focus upon tends to grow and expand… when we do not consciously choose our focus, we are controlled by unconscious dynamics from past and collective sources, along with the requirements of survival…

 

Will

We are humans, Being and Doing… We act, respond, and react… We are “deciders” and the lead ‘acter’ on our journey… co-creators on the path…When we do not consciously choose our response, we react and are controlled by unconscious dynamics from past and collective sources… sometimes referred to as shadow or dark energies…

 

Intention

Conscious intention motivated from Love and Awareness provides guidance and energy to move and act in accordance with that chosen direction… Intention from the depth of our heart provides a passionate and enthusiastic drive, energy, and ambition in a determined direction…

Love

Consciousness in the present moment provides the opportunity to respond with loving kindness that respects the Oneness of Life everywhere, in all ways and all times… Doing good while harming no one or nothing… 

Yes

Energy that provides affirmation and growth… the answer to most questions and decisions can be sensed intuitively as a ‘yes’ if it is aligned with our deepest and highest purpose, values, and intention… 

No

Energy that can limit and move us in a different direction than the one we are considering or asked to follow… the answer to most questions and decisions can be sensed intuitively as a ‘no’ if it does not align with our deepest and highest purpose, values, and intention…

Physical Body

Our body, including senses and sensations are provided for survival and continuation of the physical form on Spaceship Earth…with all its pleasures and pains… We have a physical body and we are more than our body…

Emotions

We have emotions and we are more than our emotions… emotions serve as a useful tool which are often a reflection of how our own worldview, beliefs, wishes, and expectations interact with what is happening around us… focus on ‘what is’ with  awareness and acceptance provides opportunity to make wise choices…

Thinking

We have mental abilities and we are more than our egoic mental activity… The mind is a useful tool of survival and functioning every day… When controlled by unconscious patterns and dynamics, the mind can justify any action… Consciously focusing our mind can provide expanding creativity and growth…

Intuition

We have access to information that is outside of the physical senses which can be experienced as hunches, pops, psychic knowing, premonition, ESP…it may be through the psychic cords of connections to close family members and can also be connection to other more global unseen sources… It is often referred to as the realm of spirit… We all have intuition capabilities and we are more than our intuition…

Unconscious

The unconscious refers to all information, energy dynamics, and patterns of which we are not aware… they may be from previous experience in our individualized or personal experience… they may be from the past and ongoing collective unconscious… and they be from what we might call the “superconscious” or higher more “spiritual” energies that may be outside of our awareness…

Superconscious

We are and have access to an expanded realm with higher and more inclusive energies which may include, Primary Life Energy, Spiritual Source Love, Wisdom, Joy, Peace, Stillness, Beauty, and more… The expansion into the superconscious may be accessed at times through sudden trauma, dreams, imagery, intuition, visions, and also more naturally through practicing contemplation, meditation, and other methods to still the egoic or person mental activity.

Higher Self

There is an aspect to our psyche that seems, for the most part, to be just a bit above our normal personal consciousness…. It can be thought of as our higher personal and spiritual guide… It is our internal source of love and wisdom and is our synthesizing center… when we pray or attempt to receive answers, we can visualize our energy center as the sun above our body… At times I assume this Higher Self aspect of our psyche or soul is a personal liaison with the Life Source… it is like a transformer and transducer that steps up and down the communication of energy to and from Source… and translates that energy into meaningful symbols in the form of images sounds, words, and sensations…

Unseen Guides

We can also call these entities/energies, “guardian angels,” or even “ETs,” or whatever name you have learned… There is an assumed always-present aspect of the unseen world that often only makes itself present to our awareness when it is truly needed… For those of us who have experienced this ‘realty’ there is no question that we can assume this with a solid amount of certainty…

Source

There are many names and labels provided for that ‘Mystery’ of Life which I will  describe as The Oneness of Life Energy, Great Spirit, Father/Mother God, ALL that IS, Being, The Nothingness that is Everything, Great Mystery, The Manufacturer and Distributor of the Cosmic Glue called Love, One… and, of course, all the names the various world religions have provided through the specific societal and cultural milieu within the ‘nows’ of their times…

Time and Space

When we experience premonitions and receive intuitive pops about others located in a different place, we experience the expansion of consciousness beyond time and space… We understand that ‘Time and Space’ are useful in the functioning of our daily lives and that they are also and fundamentally illusory creations for life in the 3^rd dimensional world…

The Present Moment (Now)

We remember other nows and we project with imagination into future nows… Yet the only real ‘time’ in this present moment… we spend so much energy either reliving the past or project our fears and hopes into the future, that we lose consciousness in this present moment… It seems one of our main purposes is to become fully here in the ‘NOW’ …in our body on this planet, until we are not… I might add, bringing through our form the essence of Love in this present moment…

Intention & Blessing - Meditation Tip

from www.OmHarmonics.com ...

 

And today we want to share with you one of the easiest yet also most powerful things you can do to elevate your meditation and your life:

Blessings.

Okay, first thing's first: the word 'blessing' means different things to different people, so let's first agree that you're free to interpret it in whichever way you want…

Whether it's in a spiritual, religious or even purely scientific context.

Because what's most important here is your intention.

When you initiate a blessing, you're channeling energy from a source greater than you, e.g. the planet or the Universe.

This both strengthens your connection to your higher self and raises your vibrations, allowing you to attract more of what you want and less of what you don't.

During your meditation today, follow these steps to perform a blessing on yourself:

1. Depending on your beliefs, ask your desired source of energy for a blessing. You can ask the Universe, or God, or even your spiritual self. In this case there is no right or wrong energy source; there is only what works for YOU.

2. Visualize an infinite stream of energy flowing from its source and into your body. Feel how this energy empowers you to live your purpose and manifest your ideal life.

3. If you're meditating at night, lie down on your pillow and drift into deep sleep as the energy courses through your body. You'll wake up feeling refreshed, focused and of course blessed...

4. If you're meditating in the morning, go through your day recalling the energy you were empowered with. This simple act of visualization will give you an instant pick-me-up whenever you need that extra dose of inspiration or energy.

Connecting to Source-Love [Relationshipping Series - Part III]

"Connecting to Source-Love"
[Relationshipping - Part III]

It is my sense and also my experience that the primary key to any and all positive and enduring "Relationshipping" is how consciously aware and connected to "Source" we are at any particular moment. Most spiritual teachings will offer a mode or method of connection and in reality we are connected at all times or we would not be reading this...or breathing for that matter. The question is not so much if we are connected, but perhaps how consciously aware we are of this connection? ... And how is this connection most useful in our daily relationships and actions?

A long time ago... some 'now' before this 'now'... before this day... I had a powerful dream in which I was asked the question by a messenger of Melchizedek, "Whose Life is it anyway?"

It is now apparent in my experience that there is only One Life... and the fact is that Life itself is a miracle... Life is living itself through this being and form called "John"... or 'Jane'... or 'Suzy' or whatever name we have been given... and we are all "miracles of participation" in the great Singular Miracle and Mystery called "Life." I recall reading an article and when Eleanor Roosevelt was asked if she 'believed' in reincarnation, she answered, "Reincarnation is no more improbable than the fact that life exists at all." [jh paraphrase]...  Life itself is an improbable mystery and miracle... and we are witnesses and participants in the miracle! We are mostly so immersed in the soup of daily living; we take Life for granted... We forget to be Grateful at times for Life and for Source-Love that holds it all together...

 What is "Source" and how are we connected?

"Source" is referring to that nameless Mystery of Oneness... Source of Life Energy... of Sacred Spirit... Great Spirit... Some call the Mystery "God"... I prefer the term "Source" since the term "God" has too many concepts and institutional doctrines attached to the term.

If we are to truly find a center of stability, harmony, and integrity for individual growth and action, and likewise in Relationshipping, we must also connect in awareness and daily living to the "miracle of participation" with Source energy... It seems preferable that partners equally share this awareness and practical open connection to Source Energy... of Spirit... of the Essence of unconditioned Love... a conscious practical and daily involvement with our true Essence...

When we feel love for another being, even if through the needs and desires of personality dynamics, we also sense the timelessness of Source energy...  Love feels like "forever" due to its timeless quality. In actuality, and almost as a default due to the miracle of our participation, you and I are at One with Source... we are One with Unconditioned Love... we are the divine mystery... even though we are so often lost in varying aspects of personality dynamics, the tasks of the day, and the drama of the moment.

Entering the sacred space of Source there will be varying energies felt or sensed. It seems the essence of Source is Oneness... an all-inclusive cohesion of Love... in the stillness of Love we embrace its Peace... in the flow of Love's energy, we feel the current of Joy... in the knowing that Love relates, we find true wisdom...

The Source and re-Sourcing of Love is the most important aspect, in my opinion, that leads to right action, satisfying living, and evolving relating. While we are all all-ways connected and connecting to "Source," the question remains how do we re-Source our conscious awareness to the positive energies of Source-Love?

You may already have your favorite "method" through meditation, contemplation, visualization, prayer, dance, singing, music, art, etc...

Before looking at methods, it is important that we state our intention. This can be done directly by addressing Source with a prayer or affirmation such as:

"My intention is to connect as fully as possible to Source-Love and Life Energy. I ask that I may be assisted in any way possible to allow Source-Love to flow to and through this vehicle called [state name] for the highest good of all."

Here are several brief imagery exercises that may help you consciously be reconnecting with who you are, followed by a video from YouTube that will lead you through a guided imagery to consciously bring the frequency of love and light into our body...

Imagery 1:

1. Find a quiet place to sit with your feet flat on the floor, perhaps with soft instrumental music playing;
2. Breathe and relax your body, emotions and mind for a few minutes, releasing any tension or stress you sense;
3. Imagine you have climbed to the top of a mountain on a bright and beautiful day;
4. Allow the gentle breezes and warmth of the sun to flow to and through your entire body and to every cell;
5. Imagine a special sunbeam coming through the top of your head, cleansing and energizing every cell from you head to your feet... and imagine the sunbeam continues into the earth and goes the whole way to the center of the earth...
6. At the center of the earth there is also a ball of fiery transforming energy that purifies all  negative or toxic waste that has been washed from your being;
7. Now see this beam of light continue and as it exits the fireball of energy it is actually coming right out of the sun again and back down through the top of your head.
8. Repeat this imagery of transforming energy for as long as you choose;
9. Now, with the fullness of the energy from Source filling your every cell, see your life this day and imagine taking this Source-Love energy into the situations that await you.
10. Repeat this exercise, modified in any way that seems right for you, each day to consciously connect to Source-Love...

Imagery 2:

1. Find a quiet place to sit with your feet flat on the floor, perhaps with soft instrumental music playing;
2. Breathe and relax your body, emotions and mind for a few minutes, releasing any tension or stress you sense;
3. Imagine you are comfortable seated with a blank screen in front of you;
4. Ask your deepest and highest aspects of your unconscious mind to show you an image of "Unconditional Love" from Life's Source.
5. Allow an image to come and use the first image that emerges. The conscious mind often likes to censor or judge the image... simply go with the image that appears;
6. Allow the image to become 3 dimensional on the stage in front of you... notice the qualities and feel the energy from this image of unconditional love...
7. Become the image...simply imagine you are now one with the image... and a solar spotlight shines upon you and the image as one... the light helps to intensify the merging energetic qualities of unconditional Love... I'm not sure what has change or if the image has changed since you merged with it, but you can no look out on anyone and any situation in your life from this energy of Unconditional Love and notice how they or it may have changed in your observation...
8. Return your awareness to room you are in and to the present moment bringing with you all the qualities and energies you wish to retain...
9. Note: when a spontaneous image is called for, it is often in the presence of a guide who is available to assist in the process. If for any reason you try this and get to a point where you are not sure what to do or have questions, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss it or go back to the image...

Video: If you google "connecting to Source" you will get hundreds of millions of responses in less than a second. There are many who are trying to help us in this process. The following is a video from YouTube which allows you to simply follow along without having to read or even watch... with credit to Caroline Cory:
