AT
PRESENT, WE FIND OURSELVES deep in the "Second
Trimester" of Gestation for the Planetary Oneself, as mentioned in
part one of this series. This level of process is called
Recognition of Shadow. And
there is probably no better example of that than what is happening
to our Mass Consensus
in the United States at this time regarding the Bush Administration.
For
many, George W. Bush has played out the role of "Devil" since the
beginning of his Presidency. For others, he started out as an
Avenging Angel, and then tripped up somewhere along the way. And
yes, there are also those who still hold him as true and right - the
one voice of reason and clarity in an ever-disintegrating world.
Which opinion is right? Which Bush is the "real" Bush?
They all
are. We are no longer living in a single universe, trapped by
adherence to linear continuity and flow. We are now
Citizens of
Multi-D (Multidimensionality).
Each face we look upon is a multi-faceted jewel, an angular mirror,
in which we can view many other faces. And you know what? Every face
we view is our own. This is the message of our Second Trimester
(2004-2008).
We don't
see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.
- Anais Nin
Since its
birth, the United States of America has been all about free speech
and open protest against unworthy authority. We didn't like the
price of tea way back when, so we threw it in Boston Harbor, giving
Britain an unforgettable message. If we don't like our current
government, we have the right to "alter or abolish it." So say the
founding documents of this country. Why, then, has all this
(supposed) "corruption" been allowed to continue? Why, in the
presence of outrageous circumstances, such as were present in the
1960s, have the American people met the situation with such an
appearance of ambivalence?
It is
because the name of the game this time around is NOT revolution.
It's evolution. And even though our current Government Officials are
re-living many of their "foibles"
of
days gone by (naughty rascals), we're not wasting much energy
marching about it or working overtime to "throw the Devils out"
(well, some are, but the numbers are comparatively low this time
around). Instead, a growing number of individuals are choosing to go
within, invoking a whole new technology to invoke change.
Let's discuss that Technology a little bit, shall we?
The
Basics of Oneness
In one of their opening
transmissions to us, the
Reconnections described, in detail, a shift of attitudes that
has been happening on our planet since the Harmonic Convergence, in
1987. It is called The
Reconnection to Oneness. Here are some key ideas from that early
message (circa 1992):
Now is
the time. Everything is in motion, and you are now quite busy
about the task of shaking off self-appointed shackles of
forgetfulness and limitation. As you work inwardly, you remember.
As you remember, you realize. And as you realize, you become. It
is just that simple. Many of you are deep in the throes of
eleventh hour consternation and despair, feeling that your time of
expansion to completion will never arrive. We absolutely assure
you that it will. You are so much more than you think you are!
To
fully comprehend what we are saying, it is most important that you
begin to look at everything you previously considered "self"
and
realize that the totality of that represents only a tiny portion
of you - a little piece of Infinity that was "chipped off" to
enter this World of Form. That "fragment" was programmed and
sealed tight against the knowledge of the rest of who you are by
what has been termed the "Veil of Forgetfulness." However, this
miniature replica still retained all of the basic attributes of
your essence as creator. Like a monitored culture in a huge petrie
dish, you grew and multiplied as you always have and always will -
but in a defined and limited space. All the while, you remained
unaware that there existed anything more of self than could be
seen around you in the dish.
It has
been revealed that the Eternal Creator has fashioned the work of
His hands "in His own Image." Realize now that the universe of
your perception: the people, places, objects, and interactive
processes once thought of as "containing you--but still
essentially separate" is nothing more than a gigantic
self-portrait, painted in continually expanding, repetitive
patterns in every direction into infinity. This is so because, in
order to perceive something, a person has to interpret the images
that are being fed to his brain. With that interpretation, the
observer becomes the creator of his personal reality. The grid
through which all images and information passes is made entirely
of each individual's unique vibratory essence. Therefore, his
reality always "looks like him.
What we
might infer, reading the above passage, is simply this: Each of us
is creator of our own Universe. (Uni=One). In that perceptual
context, there is only ONE of us here.
One,
who has been fragmented into however many "game pieces" are needed
to illustrate a point, or to comprehend a message from within. In a
sense, each person's perceived world is a huge
Rohrschach Test. What you pass judgment upon here tells us more
about YOU than about the person you are describing. So come, friends
look deep into the mirror. Tell us what you see.
Shadow Dancing and World Politics
The Reconnections have made no bones about how they feel about the
subject of politics. They feel that it is contrived, unnatural, and,
ultimately, an enemy of all true expression and connection.
From:
The Politics of
Oneness
Through Politics, you create a space called "society," where you
form an agreement with them - that you will all subjugate your
spontaneous, authentic, in-the-moment choices and behavior to a
pre-established protocol of expression (or repression) - to the
desired end that you may live (peacefully, if possible) within a
pre-fabricated, postured environment that looks good, sounds good,
but inevitably ends up feeling quite empty and sad.
Yes, indeed.
Not a favorable impression, to be sure. And things get really
exciting when politicians and world leaders start projecting shadows
upon each other, demonizing their opposing forces so that they can
justify doing things that no sane person would ever do, and still be
able to sleep at night.
Remember
when George Bush, Sr., was referred to, by many Mullahs, as "The
Great Satan"? Shadows were certainly flying with that one. Such a
representation can recruit a whole carload of suicide bombers!
Actually, those shadows are still flying today. The title has simply
been transferred from father to son. And not to be outdone, Bush,
Jr. rang some bells when he gave his famous "Axis
of Evil" speech, just before the Iraqi War. If you call us
names, we'll call you names.
There
will always be "sides" and struggles. It is the nature of things.
The Montagues have been warring with the Capulets all across time.
Different names, different faces - the same numbed-out hearts.
Now is Mercutio slain. Tomorrow the sword will be chasing Tybalt.
And all have become "fortune's fool."
- The Reconnections
What we dare
not look at, within ourselves, we tend to project out onto others.
That's the nature of shadow. The light (of awareness) shines from
behind us, and seeks to project itself on the wall. But something
(solidified) stands between the light and the wall. Its outline is
what forms the shadow. What makes things solidify is our resistance.
And resistance plays a huge role in the development of 3D reality.
That concept is well-illustrated in the Recon Transmission called
How Universes Are
Formed.
The physical
world is our mirror, showing us all those aspects of character and
spirit that we need to recognize and embrace as viable parts of who
we all are. The more divergent certain elements appear to be, the
more likely they are to dance with each other in a state of
conflict. We, as Bridge
People for the process of Ascension and Planetary
Transformation, have a unique opportunity. If we choose, we can
become a matrix for joining these divergent forces. We can take on
both sides of a conflict, and hold them in a space of Oneness until
their resistance stops. Can you imagine it? We're talking about
holding two cats in a bag. It takes a resilient soul to do this! And
our world is now filling with these types of
souls.
Shadows in Everyday Life
Every person we see, every situation we encounter, every object we
touch can be metaphorically interpreted as a mirror for some part of
SELF.
All
it takes is a little dab of Imagination, and a willingness to stand
in our expanded consciousness, rather than to hide in a fragmented,
encapsulated "miniature" of who we really are. One clever Star Child
in my world phrased it beautifully this way: "The more an individual
becomes collective, the more his or her collective will present as
ONE."
The Big
Story exists to serve the small story (i.e. The One). The more
complex exists to serve the simpler - so long as the "simple folk"
are enlightened. In a sense, it could be said that everything and
everyone is bending over backwards to give an accurate reflection of
who you are, at all levels. Please don't miss the message, or their
whole existence (here, in your universe) will have been wasted. In
each of their own universes they, too, have messages to integrate,
and perhaps YOU will wear the reflection there. It's an agreement. A
Soul Contract. A stage show, with many performers and many eyes to
watch the performance unfold. But there is still only ONE of us
here.
Our small
story relationships show us the specifics. And, our cities, states,
provinces, and countries fill in the Big Story blanks. As humanity
begins to integrate the wisdom of
owning the shadow, we
will all learn how to read our physical "game board" like a Tarot
Deck.
When
shadows are named and reclaimed, they become appendages for the
Expanded Self. Control becomes a moot point. But right now, in this
moment on Earth, control still seems like an option. So people are
clamoring to get it. Because a goodly amount of humanity refuses to
"wake up" and reconnect, there are continued War Games going on, at
every level of society.
And yet,
even this has a degree of perfection to it. Though our spoken intent
is "control and conquer," what really seems to be happening is a
mass release of nervous energy and anxiety. In one article I wrote,
right after the beginning of the Iraqi War, I used these words to
describe the demeanor of our world leaders:
What we
are upset about is NOT what is bothering us! It is only a mere
shadow of what is going on. I am not suggesting this in order to
deny reality, per se. What I am denying is this tiny "shell" of
reality, stuffed with a lie, being served to us as the cause for
what we feel.
Our planet
teeters on the brink of a major paradigm shift. We're not just
talking about a crumbling of the American Dream, or the collapse
of financial markets, or even the start of World War III. It's
much bigger even than that. It borders on a shift so profound,
that we just might find Isaac Newton dropping his famous apple,
only to find that it "falls" UP this time!
Such an
"adjustment" in our reality is so unthinkable, so unnerving, that
most folks wish not to even address it. We're talking about a
total re-arrangement of religion as we know it, the arrival of
time/no-time (4D Access and Integration), hard evidence about ETs,
as
well as documented records of Earth's long-standing dealings with
them, instant cures for diseases we thought would dog us for 20 or
30 more years, and Inter-Dimensional Communication and Transport.
And that is just the beginning. We are not ready to hear it, and
most of us are earnestly trying to close our ears to what is
coming in them.
But even
that isn't an option. The vibratory patterns of the planet are so
high, that any attempt at denial of the imminence of change could
produce the equivalent of a 'stroke' in the Mass Mind.
Therefore,
perhaps subconsciously, perhaps intuitively, to let off steam the
"controlling factors" of this planet, have begun orchestrating a
huge ruckus, a diversion of sorts ... something that is fearsome
and which seems futile, yet which still resembles a category of
experience that we can comprehend and get fired up about. And,
yes! Blood pressures are rising! And yes, armies are gathering in
many places of the world. But then what?
This is
what we all have to work out. It's more a matter of personal
choice than many realize. We are all creating this from within.
This is the place where brilliant minds must begin to focus
'outside the box', and notice major forces for change that are
beginning to move into position. We're not just talking about
Weapons of Mass Destruction. We're talking about the elimination
of "mass" altogether in order to make way for something else -
some new way of being. I suspect it shall be an abbreviation of
sorts, which happens on a very wide scale. Our Planetary Tale,
which once took a whole book to tell, is about to be reduced to
2500 words or less. Which words would YOU choose to keep?
There
are a number of effective ways to recognize and reclaim shadow,
individually and collectively. Practicing these attitudes has the
potential of doing more to help "Global Warming" than all the
Eco-Projects ever imagined. And it will do more to resolve "Global
Terror" than any pre-emptive invasion we could ever fund. We will
deal more with that in our next segment.
