07/11/07: "Way of the Heart - the problem with visioning..."

It seems that at the moment many environmental groups and activists are trying to envision a “better future for the Planet and for ourselves”. It seems we are constantly being bombarded with views of how we can make it “better”, “greener” and more “equitable”. But to me, it seems that for far too long Mankind has shaped our Planet according to ideas and visions that arise in the mind. For far too long it has been the male “Warrior Energy” that has led these ideas and tried to bring them into being. We look forwards to see what will happen tomorrow, next week, in five years time, in ten years time etc etc...

The Universe does not work this way. Why not? Because as Einstein said, “there is no such thing as time, everything exists in this one moment of now - space time continuum”.

So every action of the Universe is designed to bring us to this realisation....

    "The future is not to be planned,
    it is not a wish a desire, a hope or a prayer,
    its full beauty is to be found
    in the mystery unfolding out of the moment"

    Openhand

So to seek to envision the future to me seems fatally flawed. It also causes us to see the world through the tinted spectacles of our limited thinking instead of perceiving Absolute Truth the way it really is in this moment RIGHT NOW and act accordingly.

Take a look around at what is currently happening in the world.....the banking system with £1 trillion of bad debt within it; rioting in 3rd world countries because the price of staple foods has sky rocketed due to the switch of agricultural land to biofuels; look at the violence in the Middle East, Burma, Pakistan etc; the fires in California and floods in Mexico to name but a few “natural disasters”. There is a movement of underlying energy which will have increasingly catastrophic effects - why? Because the societies we continue to envision, plan and create for ourselves are so dreadfully out of harmony with the divine order of things.

We can try to plan a gentle transition to a future we would like to see but if we get locked once more into mental concepts as to how we think it will pan out, it is strongly likely that the universe will have other “ideas”.

To me, rather than living in the future, I would rather live in the present and allow my heart to guide me to the next step. To me, it is the Divine Feminine side of ourselves which we should allow to guide us. If we can get out of the mind and all its’ distortions of fear, worry, desire and hope, then we will feel exactly what is right to do, RIGHT NOW..

    "Desire (visioning) is a judgment of the moment,
    saying 'I judge that outcome is better than this one'...
    It is caused by fear and ignorance,
    not trusting what the universe is unfolding.
    It is like applying the hand brake to a moving car,
    it leads to fate rather than destiny."

    Openhand

In truth, we are all being effected by the “Ascension” of our Planetary System. This is not the crazy synopsis of a “New Age Hippy”, it is Scientific Fact grounded in Quantum Reality. The Soul of the Earth is moving to a higher vibrational reality and drawing in her energies - which is why so many people are in anger and fear right now - efforting and struggling to manipluate and control ever dwindling natural resources. The more we struggle to control, the more out of sync with the natural flow we become.

We haven’t a clue how the Ascension process is going to effect us in localised areas. We haven’t a clue how long our fragile society will stand up. What we can say however, is that for too long we have been lead by the dominant male energy of the mind rather than the divinely female energy of the Heart. What we now most need to do now (in my opinion), is to go inwards, and connect deeply with our Soul. Then we’re more likely to feel what the Soul of the Earth is asking us to do. I believe in my heart, there will be a safe passage through the increasing difficulties for all those prepared to go inwards, listen and follow.

Whether we know it or not, Gaia is calling the shots. To me, it would make infinite sense to start listening to her!

Love and best wishes to all.

intention

would this be the same as saying that people have intentions with there actions. the person who runs my art course keeps bringing up intention, he feels that art wiht no intention is just a doodle with no meening, i talked to him about this, i asked him why doing things just "because" and having no real intention wasnt valid to him. he eventualy said that doing things without reason eventualy becomes your reason. this realy confused me, whenever intentions or reasons are brought up its as if i want to run to someplace far from where its being talked about. do i have a fear of intention, is it just a resistance to something that my soul is not intune with?

Intention vs Inspiration

Hi Loud guitar

Personally, I disagree with your art teacher. It seems to me that often the best works of art come without intention. Arguably U2 are one of the "biggest" rock bands on the Planet. Their lyrics connect with the Souls of millions of people. Have you ever watched Bono write a song? Its pure inspiration - he doodles on a board and comes up with stuff like this...

    "It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
    It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
    They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
    You know I don't see you when she walks in the room

    It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
    It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
    They say a secret is something you tell one other person
    So I'm telling you...child

    It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
    It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
    Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
    All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
    Oh love...

To me, intention kills inspiration. Intention is mind led, inspiration on the other hand is Soul led. The Soul guides us to living completely spontaneously and in the moment. It is not about the creation therefore, it is about how we are being in the creating. Creating is simply a flow of energy. If attune completely to that flow, it creates the most wonderful things - but not necessarily those we might think are the likely outcome.

Personally in your shoes, I would connect with my Soul and ask "does what your 'teacher' said feel right?" The only teacher we really need is the one within us!

Love and best wishes
