Hi Monica,

What a beautiful inspiring song, I love it! Thank you for sharing!

Indeed it is a wonderful video. Thankyou for posting it Monica. It also demonstrates, for me at least, one of the most difficult paradoxes to grasp on the ever unfolding journey of the soul.

When we make a choice of love or fear, in actual fact it is an identity doing so and it actually takes us further away from the truth. If instead, we can accept life as it really is, embracing our true feelings as they really are, then overtime we release that which doesn't serve us. Identity is peeled away and the possibility arises to drop into the space of pure presence - the Seer - which is what we truly are. In this place, life is perfect - both light and dark. Without either, life itself would simply not be possible.

Furthermore, in this hallowed place, we touch the purity of the soul. We reconnect with the journey back to true oneness. In so doing, the barriers to progression simply melt away before us. We don't have to choose at all. We align with the flow to ever higher degrees of harmony, oneness, and yes, love.

As Rumi so eloquently put it, the key is not to seek for love, simply to remove all internal barriers to it. Then love simply happens of its own accord.

That's why in our video "Gateways of Light", we speak of "attuning to the light". By bringing our attention directly into what is arising for us, whatever it is, we release the shackles of identity and natural attunement to the light simply unfolds.

It is a vital distinction to make. Efforting to create love is holding many people back right now. I speak from personal experience. It happened to me!

Chris

What a beautiful song. Thank you so much for sharing - it's wonderful to see you here again Monica

In removing all the barriers, I make my choice. There is no question that I feel brimming with Love.

Hi,

This post and your response Chris has offered me a beautiful opportunity for some deep exploration – thank you. It’s been a good reminder re being present and exploring whatever is.

Your reference to the words of Rumi reminded of a favourite quote from A course in Miracles
“Seek not for love; rather, seek to remove the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence”

One area I explored was that of choice, what choice do I have and what does it mean. So for example, a number of years back I made a “choice” not to have a television, on the surface this felt like a decision through avoidance to choose love rather than fear. However when I delved deeper, I realised that the impulse not to watch tv came from somewhere deeper, an inner knowing, maybe as you describe an “attuning to the light”. An alignment rather than a choice!

Then the Universe provided a wonderful synchronicity - last night I went to a music gig of a friend. He sang a song for the first time, amazingly about choosing love or fear. The second verse was about spreading love as walking down the street (or similiar) and it reminded me of a thread on the site a few months back about the importance of being authentic. It seems that the answer returns to living authentically and allowing whatever is to be. My choice is to be true to whatever is!

With gratitude and (authentic ) love, Fi

Yes indeed Fiona - spot on!

I know its likely to push a few buttons out there, but in absolute truth, ultimately, choice is an illusion. Why do I say this?

Because the flow of the universe just happens. It arises from the source and simply flows. That's how the bigbang happened - a flow of inevitability.

And who are we then? We are the invisible surfer riding the wave - the "Seer". The Seer is pure presence. It doesn't make choices, it is simply present within the flow of the universe.

Except that is of course, when the Seer identifies with something - a blockage somewhere - like a personality or an identity; an identity that thinks it needs to make a choice; an identity that is still trying to do this or that.
For instance, to manifest love or abundance.

But all such choices are ultimately self-defeating. They come from a sense of lack; of not possessing those things internally anyway. Whenever someone wants to make a choice, it's because a part of them believes they don't already have the outcome of the desired choice already manifest inside of themselves. In which case, they're really saying "I don't already possess that" and the universe replies... "that's right, you don't", such is the power of the "I" statement.

There's only one thing more powerful in the universe than the statement "I" or "I am". That is pure presence. Even "I am" is an illusion. When faced with pure presence, even "I am" unwinds itself eventually.

So what is it exactly that we have to do? Nothing at all! Yet when you say this to awakening people, frequently "doing nothing at all" becomes an internal efforting to "do nothing at all". It can be very subtle, but all too frequently it is there.

For instance, you step out into the road by mistake, the no.9 bus is approaching really quickly, are you efforting to do nothing now? Are you efforting to get out of the way? Or do you just get out of the way?

The key is to be present in centredness. To then watch yourself tighten as the apparent choices confront you. Work to release the tightness - this is the only real choice you have. To choose to unwind that which limits the magnificence of who you are.

As you unwind the tightness within, the blockage is removed, the flow re-engages and your new consciousness shapes the world around you.

So the only really choice is to confront the moment, confront the difficult choices, resist having to make a choice, instead unwind the tightness in relation to the apparent choice and then follow the flow of the moment as it re-engages.

"Do you have the patience to remain still?
To wait until the dust has settled and the water is clear.
Can you remain unmoving until Right Action
arises naturally by itself?"
Lao Tzu

A sweet video - speaks to me of being fluid and gentle around spiritual practise! A reminder of the importance of integrating spirituality into all aspects of life... love the last clip, feels like they really found the flow

For instance, you step out into the road by mistake, the no.9 bus is approaching really quickly, are you efforting to do nothing now? Are you efforting to get out of the way? Or do you just get out of the way?

Yeah, I recognise that. One of the examples:

I'm a chronical 'later', all my life I found it hard to be on time. So after reading about non-efforting, when in the morning I would go out, and felt like I have to hurry (a habit I thought), I would stop myself and walk slowly, because...no efforting, right?

But then the bus would escape just half a minute before I arrived, I was seeing it leaving the bus station. After a while I felt something is 'wrong' here. I didn't hurry, and if I felt like hurrying and getting tight about getting somewhere on time, I would just work with it, but I actually understood that walking or moving fast is not efforting!

How stupid, simple, but..it still it 'trapped' me for a while.

And then I discovered that those days, when I didn't force and 'forgot' about time, but was just flowing with the rhythm and speed that arise, I wasn't late anymore. I considered it a miracle (it's a magician)

He he..

I got a message today in form of this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaBWlBknNgs&ob=av2el

Yesterday I was walking here, exploring the area, and found myself mumbling and singing this song, I used to listen when I was like what? 16? 17? Back then I had no idea what these simple lyrics mean at all, and yesterday I was singing, understanding and crying :'(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDGD4mLC04E

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ltwfDqFzw

When you say, " We align with the flow to ever higher degrees of harmony, oneness, and yes, love." Do you mean align as in THE CORRECT ACTIONS IN THE MOMENT OF OUR TRUTH, or do you mean align as in some internal act/happening/experience ? I mean I know they're kinda the same thing to a degree in a way, and I love the sound and flow of it, but Im just trying to really understand exactly...When I act, its always sincere and I feel a sorta fun/free/connection to everything, so Im trying to imagine what could be more wonderful/deeper ... I guess Im just wondering about a deeper aspect of the word align... ,
Love
-Mr Bill
P.S. Oh and the video and song are AWESOME! Thank you Ms. Monica...

What we're saying Bill is that there is a natural organising energy of the universe which is shaping the moment in an interconnected co-creative flow. When we choose to be, we too are a part of that.

Unity consciousness is the vehicle of that flow which infuses each of us as soul. Now humanity has been coming from a place where it is generally disconnected from soul and making choices based on mind-led conditioning.

But when we wake up and realise that we are not the bodymind, then the possibility arises that we begin to experience ourselves through the soul once more (and we're being the "Seer of all things" experiencing that). This is done by aligning with our highest truth in the moment - that which generates the feeling of internal harmony, joy, a sense of interconnectedness. Or when we notice things have a natural order and synchronicity to them.

This is what is meant by alignment.

Chris

PS - we offer a fairly simple but very powerful process for evolving people to align with the flow... Openhand Approach

Yes, well I'll tell ya, I cant believe it still, I have got to be the most fortunate/lucky/blessed/greatful/humbled man in the world... Im handing myself over...

I find it very inspiring and 'atmospheric':

A song I posted in facebook following the "Adjustment bureau" theme... about listening to the real-self's voice(I add - through distortions, mechanisms, habits, masks, despite all the fears) and finding true love, self-love leading to love of ALL...

Lyrics:
Don't be afraid
Open your mouth and say
Say what your soul sings to you

Your mind can never change
Unless you ask it to
Lovingly rearrange
The thoughts that make you blue
The things that bring you down
Only do harm to you
And so make your choice joy
The joy belongs to you

And when you do
You'll find the one you love is you
You'll find you love you

Don't be ashamed, no,
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings to you

So no longer pretend
That you can't feel it near
That tickle on your head
That tingle in your ear
Oh, ask it anything
Because it loves you dear
It's your most precious king
If only you could hear

And when you do
You'll find the one you need is you
You'll find you love you

'Don't be ashamed, no,
To open your heart and pray
Say what your soul sings to you'

Say whatever your soul sings to you

Be it in 'light' or in 'darkness'

Beautiful

I've remembered about this song from Animatrix 'Who am I', so I looked for it on youtube and found this video, edited inan interesting way - the contrast...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04bObpfTkSQ&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMCt1ZaY2_0&feature=player_embedded

So moving!

:')

That's really interesting Yulia.

Some might find it a bit odd - but I found it a curious portrayal of the contrast between the innate free spirit and the robotic idealism of society.
x

I felt exactly the same!

The contrast! the automatism and enslavement in it and the free, joyous and 'improvising/flowing' authenticity

This video is actually called "Hyperactivity is normal"!

And is a protest against the attempts of the society to make it a disease, suppress and 'cure' it (so sad). I see in this hyperactivity the 'close system heating reaction'. For just how long they will try to keep people in a robotic mode?

So kids just won't fit, won't accept and under the suppression the soul literally blows out and takes the form of hyperactivity. This is a sort of freely evolving inner children with free spirit phenomenon )

I was crying when he is shown being sent to Earth... a really moving moment, as if here he will get his freedom, this is how I interpreted it rather than as a punishment. She is indeed very beautiful and hospitable and in a way at the moment IS the land of opportunities, just make your choice and nothing can stand on your way. The whole planet is going through it, and the whole universe will stand on ones side :'D

This cute song always made my heart warm, but I never understood the lyrics, till now, now it is melting my heart, comforting it and filling it with joy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VosFiY1SifA

I came across this today, and found the whole concept interesting and inspiring...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yai1FQb4NiI&feature=related

The couple that runs this dance company have established 'Vertigo village', dance 'studio' in the eco art village... I quote from the site:

"THE VERTIGO DANCE COMPANY rehearses and performs at the center of art and ecology located in Israel's rural Ellah Valley. As part of its environmental focus the Village develops and disseminates information on green technologies such as water conservation systems and sustainable energy sources.

The Village aims to inspire socially conscious, creative sustainable living, and to connect participants from all walks of life, in Israel and abroad, to themselves, their creativity and the environment."

About this specific piece, Birth of the Phoenix: "... explores our relationship with Mother Earth, conflicts in our modern world, our alienation from nature and the desire to turn back time… It references to the elements, to fire, to earth, to water and the wind…" They performed it under open sky and in 'natural' locations throughout Israel...

For me this is really optimism-spiking, and I see it as a message of encouragement and support.

My heart is singing and dancing
Yulia

I got a gift from the universe right after processing some.. 'old memories' I am touched to tears...

Preguntas Hermosas from Süperfad on Vimeo.

so sad and beautiful.
it feels timeless. like another world.

I studied animation, and when I contemplate it now that's one of the awesome things about it - its the creation of another world, a whole creation process contained within it. From the idea, to the finished piece. Its like we could conjure worlds from the space within.

and the part where she dissolves into 'a thousand' butterflies. wow.

thanks.

I'm certainly waking up to it..

Wondering if people have views on crop circles?

distraction tactics?

there's all sorts of theories. Some of them look pretty cool. though does it matter?!

To my awareness and understanding of the planet earth around me yes everything matters and elsewhere and the interplay of energies and of course the awesomeness of creation (as you acknowledge).

Perhaps I might've been clearer in what I meant. I agree that its all a mirror to show us something, so in that sense there's value to contemplating/engaging with it. I also feel there are lots of things out there that may be distracting people from what's really being invited. I was considering if this was another example. Hence the question - does it serve to 'uplift', in self realisation etc or not? You could argue that everything in the mirror is there to learn from of course so it may not be a yes or no answer, but its interesting to consider where is the contemplation directing people's focus?

This video touched me so deeply. I feel that so many things are in there: sadness, grace, freedom, surrender, vulnerability and it is just simply beautiful. Such things bring tears of joy and make me feel that it's all worth it.

Really loved that - took me into the heart of love - especially with the comforting visuals. Thank you x

Angels Aliens or Fallen angels....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADDYuP3_e74

I found this film Knowing to be very interesting in parts.The scene I think depicts some kind of New World Order a Regeneration which all religious texts have reference to. A quantum leap of human consciousness a realighnment with mother Gai of which humanity has been disconnected from.
The Mayans call it the Great destruction and Great Purification in which the Homo-Luminious will be the torch bearers choosing to evolve and using consciousness as the guiding direction of DNA- and speak of an eclipse at the centre of the galaxy where we will be cut off from a a certain energetic sustenance or way of living, so change has to happen....

Interestingly in the Bible there are many references to alienology and of course evidence that was indeed a higher evolved civilistion being guided that came and left the planet. Could they return ? Or have they already?-the Annakin on Planet Nibiru X ?

And as the Summarians believed could the Annakins have translated from Hebrew(those who came down from heaven to earth) have been responsible for alien genetically engineering humans? In Genesis we have the story of Adam and Eve and how Adam was created out of clay and Eve out of Adams rib illustrate a simler version of more more complicated stories of Babilonian stories of how there were powerful non human God like beings making us for specific purposes...

If so does that not make us all alien, or if some are cross section,then some apart?

Interestingly too the Merkabah is an Angelic Chariot (Ezekiel Cpt1;v5) which looks like some kind of ufo type thing.
In the book of Enoch andf the Hebrew Bible speaks of the Fallen Angels interbreeding with humans (against God's direct will)

Gen 6 .2;4 ''There were nephilim on Earth in those days and also after that when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of man and bore them children''.

The nephlim could be an alien life form.

Another very interesting film I am watching in parts is ancient aliens. I post a very intersting clip below about other intelligences in the universe.

This is quite something to wake up to, but gets more and more interesting !!

Hi Teresa,

Thanks for posting. I think it's great that this idea is becoming more mainstream - in my knowing, and the through the supportive feedback from past life regressions, it's certain that our evolution was shaped by an intervening (alien) consciousness. Right now, I'm assembling physical evidence - including that from our genetics - that strongly supports our spiritual experiences.

As you point out, the story has been around since man's early writings and from cultures all over the world. Unfortunately it's been much misunderstood and so can make the subject a quite incredulous in the beginning. Our challenge is to express accurately so as not to turn off tired and skeptical minds!

There's loads of films, ideas and postulations coming forth on the web right now. In my view, most are limited by the need for 3D evidence to support their entire story. That's what makes the stories incredulous because there's only partial physical evidence.

However when we escape the bounds of the physical dimension and contemplate the stories again but from a multi-dimensional perspective, then everything begins to fall into place.

For example, how can an alien being travel through space faster than the speed of light? Actually it's not hard. Evolved people do it frequently - astral travel through the 4th Dimension. Speed of thought is much faster than light - it can be instantaneous. There's a great story of a yogi visiting Jupiter and telling of the rings around it. The story was ridiculed at the time because Jupiter appeared to have no rings. It wasn't until space telescopes actually confirmed the story that it became clear the Yogi was correct. It proved he must have 'traveled' there.

There is also a body of scientific evidence coming forwards from Russia right now showing that DNA can be changed (from one creature to another!) simply by the projection of Lazer light embedded with DNA frequencies. They actually change the developing egg of a Frog into a Salamander! In my knowing that's how our genetics were engineered to change a Homonoid into Homo Sapiens. It's not that difficult to imagine since our genetics are about 97% the same. Within the 3% though - huge physical differences can be manifested.

You also have to look at why Humans have several thousand genetic errors considering our supposed advanced level of evolution. You don't see anything like this in other creatures. We're just so poorly adapted for this planet - unless that is, you put us in a highly technological and controlled system. Then humans function quite well according to a particular agenda.

When we look deeply into Human genetics, some key changes have been instigated which could not possibly have happened by natural evolution. The odds are literally zillions to one against it. This evidence will come to the fore in due time. It will clearly show our evolution is not what traditional science thinks it was.

Later this year, I'll be giving a seminar in Glastonbury called "Homo Sapiens - a correctable mistake." I'm planning to write a free downloadable ebook about the subject and hopefully we'll film the seminar.

Chris

Wow Chris, Thats great. Im ready to watch it already. A very interesting inquiry into our roots as beings... Looking forward to it...

Hi Chris, sorry for this, but I get a bit confused with the alien/implant/genetic theories, and the consequences for us. I understand when you say that the implants have negative consequences, in as much as they are an attempt to block our spiritual evolution. However, what about the DNA changing? I've just read up on the frog/salamander experiment, and this lead to finding some info on the recent and upcoming DNA transmutations that we have apparently been subjected to (with the photon belt). Are these good or bad? The site I read suggested that the current DNA changes are 'upgrades' to assist with our 'ascension'. But how do we discern the intentions of the agendas facilitating all this?

Thank you for your input on this very important subject,
Wendy.

Personally my advice would be to focus on one's own spiritual evolution - at a soul level. So unraveling what are the true impulses of the soul and aligning with these until we become that unfettered expression.

Infusion of soul will positively influence our DNA. It is the soul that truly shapes our vehicles of expression in a truly destined fashion. So I'd strongly advise coming from our core beingness. Then the bodily vehicles will naturally harmonise over time in a positive way.

I know you're not saying this, but there's a wider implication that we need to change our DNA in order to evolve. I think it's the other way around - we evolve and our DNA changes accordingly.

Chris

Thanks Chris, your comment on the direction of cause and effect (our evolution changes the DNA) feels a much better potential option than some unknown entity making all the decisions about what happens to me!!!
There is an incredible amount and variety of info about lately, concerning DNA changes, complex breathing exercises and merkaba/lightbody meditations. It's easy to panic that you're not 'doing the right thing' in these times of quickening. But I guess, like you say, it just all comes back to the simplicity of inner focus. I guess i have to get into a habit of regular tuning in and trusting what feels right for me.

Best wishes, W.

This is a very beautiful Greek song.
Here's the translation

MIRROR

One day a tarantula-woman came to the village.
And everyone rushed to see her.
Someone threw bread at her, others threw stones
To save themselves form her ugliness.

And a child gave her a red flower as a present
A child,
Asked her to sing a song,
And she said:

She said: "Never tell them how ugly they are
Those who think you are revolting, but who keep on looking at you, anyway.
She said: "Never look at others in the eye
Because you'll turn into a mirror and they'll shatter you."

One day a wounded angel came to the village,
Carried there locked in a cage.
And the wild crowds bought tickets
To glimpse his beauty.

And a child as beautiful as a tear, a cherub,
A child,
Asked him to sing a song,
And he said:

He said: "If you wish to be saved from your beauty,
Take an axe and a sword and sever your wings."
He said: "Never look at others in the eye
Because you'll turn into a mirror and they'll shatter you."

”Ýou were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
The old ways are lost you sang as you flew
And I was wondering why” Loreen Mckennit (The Old Ways)

Here's another very soulful and inspiring song about twelve women fighting injustice in East Timor I felt like to share.

You who see injustice all around
Yet have not the courage
Or the will to fight and stand your ground.
We who see but are too scared,
There are not enough of us prepared
To put our lives at risk time and again.

And then comes a drop of rain,
To the parched lips of the world
That needs to feel hope again.

"We are dying as a people and a nation,
A third of our people have been killed
In twenty-one years of illegal occupation."

Ten UN resolutions requesting Indonesia to withdraw
They chose to ignore.

And a woman cries:
"If you are really human,
You'll stop them sending
These weapons to our shores."

With my hammer, I break the chain,
I will not remain in silence.
I will stand and I will defend my right
To fight against violence.
No prison can contain
The freedom that we gain
When we move through fear.

The laws of our civilized land are quite clear:
Selling weapons to dictators who murder, starve,
rape and torture, is illegal.

But there is timber there is oil on Indonesian soil
And there's money to be made from the arms trade.
"Our boys need jobs," you shout it from the rooftops.
But not one word of the lives lost or destroyed.

I cannot believe you continue to
Deceive yourselves in this way.
Or the people that you pay to make the jet fighters.

To think, to plan, it took a year to build trust
To work through fear.

Then at three am on a cold January morning
At BAE Wharton.
No one saw them, no one gave the warning.
Hawk jet ZH955 came alive
To the sound of singing hammers, the hanging of banners,
The scattering of seeds and ashes on its wings.
And the women waited to see what Justice brings.
For two point four million damage done,
Thirteen million for a new one.

We are not martyrs or heroines,
We owe so much to our friends,
Who held our courage in their hands.

And after half a year in gaol
They came before a court of law
And the truth the jury heard and saw
Stunned them into silence.
Then the verdict came - not guilty.

Justice had been done.
The celebrating could begin again.
Dancing, laughing, praying, weeping, crying.

And in East Timor they danced
And laughed and cried some more.
And as the seeds of hope begin
To settle on the ground
A gentle rain begins to fall...

I was divinely guided to this creative video which I found to be particularly inspiring and graceful with some recent talk about Chris’ ‘’soul motion” movement which I have seen something of at the Openhand workshop( and freeing ourselves from constrained inhibitions. The purpose I see of the soul is exactly this --to free itself…beyond limitation, my experiences are certainly showing me this one like never before in life. My feeling tells me just as the mind immerses more and more in the flow, so too the body ceases resistance to the flow. We become the flow ….. When I see yogic dancers like this let the flow take them, it makes me want to get up and move, enjoy the feelings of dance and movement, to feel my body more and to feel my feelings flow in my body more. This is something a person cannot simply have when they are not in the truth of their feelings or out of touch . It has become so clear for me to see this in people’s bodies and to feel this ourselves in our own. Children are the greatest teachers of liberation in movement of dance style exploration.
.It also alighns with Trinity’s very inspiring thread http://www.openhandweb.org/250112_retrieving_lost_fragments_soul_my_inne... which explores the underworld journey. I just felt it resonated with Openhand and with some recent talk about everything being about ‘’letting go’’.
It touched something deeper in my soul as I infuse more soul beingness & more wisdom whilst still journeying underwater which can only be transformed through growth and pain - if you click on the writing just below the video you will understand what the dancer is dancing about, if it draws you to!

About the poem which the yogic dancer expresses; Inanna is an ancient prolific Sumarian Goddess She is a goddess of love , beauty and war and has has no difficulty to confront her own inner demons and embraces her shadows and liberates self and makes PEACE with it . She understands the importance of the descent downwards into the underworld and the cycle of life and how it leads us to let go of ‘’attachment’’ and ‘’identification’’, as she has to sacrifice and let go of her goddess adornments and becomes stripped , she sees her own rawness & confronts her shadow self (which is her dark sister) and rebirths through a series of transformational initiations of 7 gateways . Her dangerous descent enables her to gain the greatest power of all that is “To know herself ” and let go her identity, fully aware of her vunerabilities and the strengths created from them.

The poem of Innanas’ descent reminds me so much of the Openhand way and only by going into the womb of the cosmos and surrendering to Gai’s pain (as our own) and symbolically dying to ego can we retrieve those ‘lost aspects’ of the soul to rebirth and transform it alchemically into a wellspring of self knowledge and wisdom. It is a story which for me I could identify with and empowers me to embody more of that feminine wisdom and painful but necessary journey to understand the authentic nature of the soul. It’s a story of descent and return a forerunner of Jesus’ resurrection….It is a beautiful yogic dance with no inhibitions whatsoever. Pure soul expressive dance movement and surrender to the flow.

Thanks for sharing Teresa, I was deeply moved by the video and approach.

To me it speaks of mastering and harnessing our primal power. The movements felt so centred in the danten (pelvic region). Interestingly I'm writing about this right now. In my knowing there has been a quantitative easing of the denser suppressive frequencies within the surrounding field. I'm witnessing the effects not just in myself but others - it's causing us to become re-acquainted with the divine masculine.

It's something we have to be very careful of though. The lid is lifting off that energy and it can become uncontrollable at times - I believe that's why we've just witnessed what we have in Egypt (the football violence). So we need to heal and transmute this masculine energy through practices such as in the video.

Nothing that we have to learn for eons though, rather a redirection of energy into something primal but productive. I'll be writing about this shortly.

Thanks again for sharing - very valuable
