REBALANCING THE MASCULINE & THE FEMININE ~ Jan. 27, 2018

Thanks to GalacticConnection.com for this one!

JANUARY 25, 2018

When the masculine and the feminine are in balance, there is fluidity, relationship, a flow of energy, unity, totality. This fluidity and balance is perhaps best illustrated by the Taoist image of the indissoluble relationship and complementarity of Yin and Yang. In the broadest terms, the feminine is a containing pattern of energy: receptive, connecting, holding things in relationship to each other; the masculine is an expanding pattern of energy: seeking extension, expansion towards what is beyond. More specifically, the feminine reflects the instinctual matrix and the feeling (heart) values of consciousness; the masculine reflects the questing, goal-defining, ordering, discriminating qualities of consciousness, generally associated with mind or intellect. For millennia women have lived closer to the first pattern; men to the second. But now, there is a deep impulse to balance these within ourselves and in our culture. There is an urgent need to temper the present over-emphasis on the masculine value with a conscious effort to integrate the feminine one.

In the ancient world the feminine principle in the image of the goddess stood for relationship – the hidden connection of all things to each other. Secondly, it stood for justice, wisdom and compassion. Thirdly, and most importantly, it was identified with the unseen dimension beyond the known world – a dimension that may be imagined as a matrix connecting invisible spirit with visible nature. The word used then to name this matrix was goddess; later it was soul. The feminine principle offered an image of the oneness, sacredness and inviolability of all life; the phenomenal world (nature, matter, body) was regarded as sacred because it was a theopany or manifestation of invisible spirit.

The greatest flaw in patriarchal civilization has been the over-emphasis on the masculine archetype (identified with spirit) and the devaluation of the feminine one (identified with nature). This has been reflected in the fact that the god-head has no feminine dimension, in the consistent neglect of feeling values and in the misogyny responsible for the repression and suffering of women. The history of the last 4000 years has been forged by men, determined by male perspectives and directed towards goals defined by men – principally the goals of conquest and control. (this is no sense intended as a criticism; in the context of prevailing belief systems and general level of consciousness, things could not have been different).

However, religion and science – all our cultural ideas and patterns of behaviour – have developed from this unbalanced foundation. Throughout this time, everything designated as “feminine” (nature, body, woman) was devalued and repressed, including the rich diversity of the Pagan legacy of the ancient world. In the domain of religion, heretics were eliminated; diverse ways of relating directly to the transcendent were lost. Naturally, this has created a deep imbalance in the culture and in the human psyche. It has led finally to the tyrannies of this century where the lives of some 200 million people have been sacrificed to totalitarian regimes. We can see the brutal legacy of this imbalance in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Russia and now Kosovo. But we can also see it in the ethos that dominates Western culture. The modern tyrant is the extreme reflection of a deeply-rooted pathology derived from a long-standing cultural imbalance between the masculine and feminine archetypes and, at the human level, between men and women. I would like to read you this extract from a recent article:

“This is a world of monstrous tyranny. Everywhere there are governments which by design or neglect are starving people, wrecking their livelihoods, breaking up their families. Everywhere there is the oppression of women, of other races, of ways of life which are dear to people. Property is confiscated, villages are set on fire, disease and malnutrition left to rage unchecked. And what all these victims, tens of millions of them, have in common – what brings their suffering to the forefront of my indignation – is this: they did not ask for this; they cannot avoid this; there is nothing they can do to change this; they have no choice.” (Matthew Parris, The Times, London 6/9/98)

Where there is no relationship and balance between the masculine and feminine principles, the masculine principle becomes pathologically exaggerated, inflated; the feminine pathologically diminished, inarticulate, ineffective. The symptoms of a pathological masculine are rigidity, dogmatic inflexibility, omnipotence, and an obsession with or addiction to power and control. There will be a clear definition of goals but no receptivity to ideas and values that conflict with these goals. The horizon of the human imagination will be restricted by an overt or subtle censorship. We can see this pathology reflected today in the ruthless values that govern the media, politics, and the technological drive of the modern world. We can see the predatory impulse to acquire or to conquer new territory in the drive for global control of world markets, in the ideology of growth, in new technologies such as the genetic modification of food. We see exaggerated competitiveness – the drive to go further, grow faster, achieve more, acquire more, elevated to the status of a cult. There is contempt for the feeling values grounded in the experience of relationship with others and with the environment. There is a predatory and compulsive sexuality in both men and women who increasingly lose the capacity for relationship. There is continuous expansion in a linear sense but no expansion in depth, in insight. The pressure of things to do constantly accelerates.

What is the result? Exhaustion, anxiety, depression, illness which afflict more and more people. There is no time or place for human relationships. Above all, there is no time for relationship with the dimension of spirit. The water of life no longer flows. Men and women and, above all, children, become the victims of this harsh, competitive, uncaring ethos: women, in their disorientation, and because the feminine value has no clear definition or recognition in our culture, are drawn to copy the pathological image of the masculine which itself incorporates fear of the feminine.

Because to a large extent, this whole situation arises unconsciously, not much can be done about it until catastrophe intervenes. Reflecting on this, I remembered the following story:

Once, not long ago, there was a great drought in a province of China. The situation was catastrophic. The Catholics made processions, the Protestants made prayers, and the Chinese burned joss-sticks and shot off guns to frighten away the demons of the drought; but to no avail. Finally the people said: “We will fetch the rain-maker.” And from another province a dried up old man appeared. The only thing he asked for was a quiet little house somewhere, and there he locked himself in for three days. On the fourth day the clouds gathered and there was a great snow-storm at the time of year when no snow was expected – an unusual amount – and the town was filled with rumours about the wonderful rain-maker. Asked what he had been doing during the three days that had caused the snow to fall on the fourth he said: “I come from another country where things are in order. Here they are out of order; they are not as they should be by the ordinance of heaven. Therefore the whole country is not in Tao, and I also am not in the natural order of things because I am in a disordered country. So I had to wait three days until I was back in Tao and then naturally, the rain came.”

The rain-maker did not do anything. He waited until he was in balance. Then, his quality of being rectified the state of imbalance that existed around him. Perhaps we need to become rain-makers…

I feel we are living in a time of kairos – a mythic time of choice – a time of stupendous scientific discoveries which are enlarging our vision of the universe, shattering the vessel of our old concepts about the nature of reality. Yet the delicate organism of life on our planet and the survival of our species are threatened as never before by technologies driven by an ethos of the conquest and control of nature, technologies which are applied with an utter disregard of the perils of our interference with the complex web of relationships upon which the life of our planet depends. The choice is between clinging to an outworn and unbalanced ethos and maturing beyond it towards a more responsible and sensitive capacity for relationship. If we are unable to develop this empathic capacity to relate, we will surely destroy ourselves and the environment that sustains our life.

So how could we help to redress the balance between the masculine and feminine in ourselves and in our culture? First of all, where are we, as individuals out of balance? Where are we driven by the unbalanced cultural ethos of achieving power and control, ignoring our feelings of depression, anxiety or symptoms of the body’s distress? Are we allowing ourselves enough time for reflection, for relationships, for connection with a deeper dimension of reality? The priority as I see it is to make the fact of this pathology a matter of public discussion. Shift the emphasis from achieving power to achieving balance. Secondly, here are some suggestions for strengthening the feminine principle in our society.

Free the Imagination from the stranglehold exercised by a controlling minority which excludes the non-rational from inclusion in our understanding of life.
Formulate a new image of spirit as the totality of all that is – both seen and unseen. Recover the lost and devalued feminine aspects of spirit: restore nature, matter and the physical body (including sexuality) to the realm of the sacred.
Imagine the Soul as a cosmic internet. We belong to an immense field or matrix of relationships. We could imagine the soul in this new way as something we belong to and can develop a relationship with.
Religion – Relinquish the dogmatic formulations of the past: Monotheism as Mytheism. (Ravi Ravindra) Recognise the negative effects of deeply rooted beliefs – such as the belief in original sin – on our interpretation of life and its meaning. Welcome the idea of direct individual experience of the sacred and the numinous.
Science – Integrate the principle of empathic relationship with what is studied in scientific teaching and practice. In education give children an empathic understanding of their own bodies and of nature rather than the image of the body and the universe as a machine. Help them to become aware of their environment as a great chain of relationships in which their lives are embedded. Nourish their sense of wonder.
The psyche: develop a greater insight into predatory and psychopathic patterns of behaviour. Learn to recognise and transform patterns of imbalance. Heal the split between mind and soul. Recognise that feeling is a valid mode of perceiving reality and must be integrated with thinking. The main problem in our society is emotional immaturity.
Politics: develop a forum beyond national and international politics where the true problems of the planet can be articulated and addressed. Recognise grandiosity, standardisation, the drive for control, the proliferation of bureaucracy as symptoms of the pathology of an inflated and unrelated masculine principle.
Medicine: integrate alternative (complementary) methods of healing with orthodox ones as a deliberate policy. Focus on preventive medicine. The modern GP has no time for an empathic relationship with his or her patient. The pressure of numbers is simply too great. However, in some surgeries and hospitals alternative practises are being integrated with orthodox ones. This integration could be expanded.
Agriculture: Focus on increasing the production of organic food. Removal of pesticides, antibiotics and toxins from our food and water.
Care of Children: A much higher level of prenatal care. Compared with the rest of Europe, we are way behind (Sweden is the most advanced). Attention to quality of children’s’ diet and to nourishing the imagination as well as the intellect.
Educate Women to be aware of their own specific value and the importance of their contribution to the culture. Articulating feeling values without fear or shame. The vital importance of choosing partners with greater care; Value and prepare for the responsibility of motherhood.
Educate Adolescents in awareness of the responsibilities of relationships and of the parent towards the child. Teach them the psychology of the child; its dependency; its sensitivity, its potential for emotional growth. Teach them about the complexities of neuroscience so they understand how their emotions affect their bodies and vice-versa. Ask them to invent ways of caring for the environment.
Control bulling by a deliberate stated policy of making schools a sanctuary. Children could help to make their own schools sanctuaries. Meditation in schools from the beginning – positive effects on capacity to learn and emotional balance. (Maharishi School in Skelmersdale – report The Sunday Times 19/9/98).
Teaching Methods: integrate right-hemispheric consciousness with the linear consciousness of the left hemisphere – opening to the creative power of the image – poetry, art, drama and music (no exams for these). Balance in the curriculum between developing the capacity for logical thought and creative imagining and participation. This poem by a 12 year old boy at school in Southampton shows how a teacher can provide the environment in which a child can dare to express his true feelings:

I hear my inner voice talking to me,
Explaining, encouraging,
Opening the part of me that I thought was lost.
In this world of cruelty and fear little lights are burning.
Everyone has a flame inside their hearts,
If only they had the courage to find it.
The light can trickle out through a hole in your mind.
When the inside is out
You are transformed and revealed.
There is no need to be afraid,
But be curious
As you will probably never know
where the force is coming from. – Daniel Webster

Jonathan Schell wrote the following words in his book, The Fate of the Earth, “Because everything we do and everything we are is in jeopardy, every person is the right person to act and every moment is the right moment to begin.” Each of us is called to focus on rebalancing the masculine and feminine in ourselves and in our culture. This could effect a profound alchemy in our lives. Women and men could both participate in a process of transformation which could bring into being a new cultural focus whose emphasis is no longer on power and control but on relationship, balance and connectedness. The phrase “the conquest of nature” could be replaced by the awareness that humanity and nature participate in a deeper and still unknown reality that embraces them both.

At the end of The Undiscovered Self, Jung asks, “Does the individual know that he or she is the makeweight that tips the scales that infinitesimal unit on whom a world depends?” Millions of people have no choice. Those of us who do have a measure of choice could rise to the immense challenge of defining and living a new and responsible role in relation to each other and our planetary home.

The New Emerges: True Love in Sacred Union ~ August 5, 2017

As planet Earth has been reborn and since the 24 May 2017, we have moved into the new Epoch of planet earth’s Being and therefore humankind, something immense is shifting deep within us and nowhere more profoundly than in our loving relationships with each other. We have to find new and higher levels of wholeness within ourselves, and then within our most intimate relationships with each other.

We are being called to step more and more into our authentic REAL, THE SOUL REAL, the truth of who and what we are: – at soul level. To me this means the return to truth and wholeness.

The veils of amnesia have been lifted and therefore at last our inner seeing, hearing, knowing returns and with it the 7 veils of the third eye may now be lifted for those who are ready to receive such a blessing and ask for it.

The deepest levels will be felt by those who are in the Twin Flame Union. More than this, with the veils of amnesia being lifted, we now have that gateway opening, where the old karmic negative patterns, hooks, ties and whatever withheld true love and union in the past, in whatever forms, now can be finally healed and put behind us.

The true Mystery of profound and total union, in the Sacred Partnership between the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine is now ready to express itself through those who are willing to walk that Highest Path of Purity, and to truly seek the face of the ultimate of Union, where the Divine Masculine is fully empowered and in balance within himself, and the Divine Feminine is fully empowered and in balance within herself.

One is not more than other, nor less than the other. They are BOTH empowered from the deepest Soul Level, and therefore now can at last find each other in far higher and in the deepest levels of soul expression, than ever before.

It is a Mystic Path, it is Path only for those souls who truly seek to find this on a much higher and more intimate level and then to know, that this is not for the faint-hearted, the uninitiated, those who are too scared to delve into the deepest depths of themselves, and the very Mystery of Life itself, and all of Creation. It means willing to be vulnerable in the depths of vulnerability, open to the core heart and soul, cleaved open if need be, and then in total truth and honesty, authentic and real. No hiding anymore.

If the Divine Masculine is willing to truly delve into the very deepest Mystery, he must learn to dissolve himself into the very essence of what it means to be the Divine Masculine in all its myriad of forms and expressions. This man is not afraid to face himself, and all his own inner dragons, and more than this, all the Mysteries of forms the structures of the cosmos, and what makes it work and tick, and in the process, FEEL into his heart, and soul, as much as into his magnificent mind. At last he has learnt to marry his own heart and feelings, with his mind. More than this he is in touch with the feminine side of himself, and knows it is there deep inside of himself, just as much as the Masculine is there. The Masculine is MORE than the feminine within himself, but it is there all right. He is not in denial of this anymore, he OWNS it and he is happy in his own skin.

The Empowered Masculine is now truly open to experience his deepest soul connection with the Omni verse from the heart and mind. He is going to asked to break new frontiers open for humanity in the fields of science where he married the metaphysical with the core sciences, and where he finally understands the inner music of mathematics, the immense harmonic frequencies held within them, where he starts remembering how to work with the crystalline Liquid Energy as expressed through the spiralling, coiling energy, and remember how to tap into the Ancient Energy Fields which have always been there, and now are being reactivated. His beautiful mind, is now fully employed to lift humanity into the realms of the 5^th to 7^th dimensional state, as he is the one who invents the structures, the forms, the mathematical equations, the sacred geometrical patterns, which now starts to understand at a much higher level. What never made sense, now starts making sense, as his third eye opens more and more, and he can at last see BEYOND the physical only, and into the realms of Infinite space.

The Superconscious Energy fields are there open and ready for him to finally understand and grasp with his heart/soul/mind, and he can only do that via the Feminine, for she is what gives him the keys and codes to do so. More than this she unlocks within him, what he could not access before, when he was totally in his mind, and cut her out of the equation.

The masculine is now moving more and more into this Higher Soul Self, fearlessly, in pioneering ways, and he is willing to give it his all to blaze new trails for humanity, but this time, he is balanced WITHIN himself, through heart and mind, in touch with the feeling side of himself, as much as the brilliance of his own mind.

With it comes the great healing of all he invented in all the past lives and existences on earth, which was destructive, which went against the Divine Cosmic Laws, and in truth, against himself.

The Divine Feminine, feels, yes, she feels, but she is also now seeking to marry the Divine Masculine within herself, with the Divine Feminine within herself. She is more Divine Feminine, but she also has that Masculine within herself as well. She is not afraid to delve into the deepest parts of her soul, and to bring about the deepest emotional healing for herself and the rest of humanity.

She is not afraid to break loose of all the shackles and restraints which were placed upon her for so many thousands of years, she is now out there with him, breaking open new frontiers for humanity, and she is teaching him to feel and express, as much as he is teaching her to use her own beautiful mind.

She is not shrinking herself anymore, and she not thinking herself less than him. Indeed, she is finally stepping up in soul empowerment, so that she can at last take her place next to him, equally soul empowered, equally blessed, and therefore she is not allowing herself to be overshadowed by him.

She dances the dance of life, the spiralling coiling dance of creation, for SHE IS THAT. SHE HOLDS THAT ENERGY, and she is loves it. She knows no beginning nor end, for she knows that the wheels are forever reinventing themselves, and therefore there is a great Omni verse of inner mystical knowledge she must return to humanity, which the Divine Feminine sealed off and took away with her, when she withdrew from the planet.

She is not getting past her own neediness. She is finally understanding the truth, that in Ancient Times, the Women were out there, fully empowered and working alongside him. She was not there JUST TO BE A WIFE AND HAVE CHILDREN. NO! If she was in her highest empowerment, she often chose not to have children and to fully be there in her highest empowerment and she was out there, blazing new trails along with him.

She only chose to have children, if she could fully co-create with him, for the highest and best of both concerned, and if they BOTH chose this, and then she mated for life with him, because BOTH were dedicated to the same highest calling and soul purpose, looking outward in the same direction, and then fully conscious of what a type of child they wished to co-create and how they would BOTH look after the child and nurture it into being, as it was a co-responsibility. Indeed, they would only have a child, if they both were in the highest and deepest alignment with each other, and their love for each other had taken on the deepest meaning, knowing that in the moment the child was created, it would take that energy of the creative act WITHIN it, from the moment of conception, and therefore then, know whether it was conceived in utter love, or not! Henceforth they would both nurture that unborn child into Beingness with great love, careful not to project anything onto the unborn, which was not in highest alignment with their love for each other, and what they in truth are within.

When the Divine Masculine is fully empowered, and whole, the Divine Feminine is fully empowered and whole, something profound happens. If they both are on the Mystical path, and deeply soul empowered, and deeply and profoundly seeking that union with each other, with truth, respect and integrity, and love, then they can seek the sacred sexual union.

It is not a path for everyone. So many romanticize over such a union, when in truth such a union will cleave both open to the core, for the fires ignited between them will bring out the best and the worst within both, singe and burn away all impurities.

First, there must be a deep soul connection for such a union to last, and to bring about ever deeper and deeper levels of love and union.

So often the emotional baggage will come up, from deep within – the false programming of this lifetime, that little boy and little girl within, and then all the past lives on this planet which often turned into warzones between a man and woman and all in between. If the emotional baggage is not released, if will come to the surface as separation, as alienation, as neediness, and wanting – wanting the other to complete one, wanting the other to be the saviour or the Knight in Shining Armour, and dreaming false dreams of love, which will not manifest, until the INNER work has been done and wholeness within returns. For often the old past life memory banks will trigger when one is with the beloved, and those old ghosts need to be laid to rest.

In my Twin Flame Soul Readings, this comes the fore time and again. I, myself experienced this profound when I was in France, and I had to release memory bank after memory bank of intense and unspeakable things which happened in those lifetime, even to remembering myself being shackled and chained as a Queen of my people, and then having my Beloved’s head (which had just been chopped off), being shown me on a platter! This went into Egypt and wherever else, but release it all I had. I also understood then why I had difficulty in speaking out in this lifetime, and more than that to finally break loose of those shackles and the unspeakable, which happened during those lifetimes.

Remember that your soul has had many lifetimes, and many existences, and what you are now, is a sum of what you have been before!

True Love, is the love which has stood the test of time – and then emerges ever deeper and stronger than ever before, therefore brings the souls together in ever deeper, highest and more profound love and union. Indeed, they both go through a type of inner death, in order to be reborn into ever higher states of true love and union!

It is when on finally forgives the Twin and the soul one has been involved with for so long, in the deepest most soul-filled way, that one starts seeing the SOUL in its first innocence, when it was first born alongside of you, for in truth you are one soul. IT goes beyond words, such a revelation. You finally see your innocence and his innocence – there in truth are no divisions, there is no separation. The floodgates of the heart and soul open, and love pours through – beautiful, unconditional love, and deep acceptance where before the barriers sometimes seemed unsurmountable.

True Love and True Sacred Mystical Union, bring that deep innocence to the fore which was there at the beginning and is now finally allowed to come to the fore again, indeed to exuberantly allow the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine to express THROUGH you, like you are but a vessel, but an empty chalice, now being filled to overflowing.

It is in truth a LOVE AFFAIR with the profound DIVINITY within you and the honouring the DIVINITY of the DIVINE OTHER, WITHIN THE SACRED AND DIVINE EXPRESSION THROUGH BOTH OF YOU.

Such union ignites the kundalini (serpent coiling energy) plus the sacred eternal flame/fire, which is a cosmic creative energy force, that spirals/coils up from deep inside within our souls, our being.

The Sexual energy is NOT attached to the physical body, although the physical body is but ONE channel for expression. Indeed, when the SEXUAL ENERGY MERGES WITH THE SOUL ENERGIES AND THE DIVINE ENERGIES AMPLIFY this, it merges together complementary OPPOSITE energy forces, which in merging together, create wholeness.

It is in fact in the highest sense, the further one delves into the mystery, a deep alchemical TRANSMUTATION from one state or level of Christed Consciousness into the Higher Realms of the Sublime Divinity’s most potent force.

Yet there should be that deepest soul desire, the deepest soul commitment and understanding to connect and merge ever deeper and more profoundly at SOUL level with the Divine Other.

This itself brings about profound experiences of unknown realms of Love, which truly only available to the purest seekers and those who truly wish to to dissolve into the deepest Mysteries of Creation, and allow themselves to be transformed into the highest soul expression of the Highest Service they can render TOGETHER.

For true sacred union, is not selfish. It will always serve the higher good, and therefore in merging their energy forces together, these two SERVE – they will be out there blazing new trails for humanity together, and not shrink from doing that.

The ALPHA AND OMEGA OF LIFE WORKS AND CREATES THROUGH THEM.

Are You In Relationships Or Entanglements? ~ September 28, 2016

Pretty good article here that you may want to read. Definitions for the type of relationship you are in are given below, so…please read, figure out what your relationships are, and…

InJoy!

September 27th, 2016

By Diana Rose Kottle

Guest writer for Wake Up World

Do you know the difference between being in a “relationship” with someone and being in an “entanglement” with them?

The idea of relating vs. entangling with others is something I struggled with personally for a long time. I also saw this phenomenon show up in my clients and realized how Universal it actually is. After over a decade of counseling and coaching clients, I’ve come to discover that most people think they are in “relationship” when in fact they are “entangled” and enmeshed with another. This is not romantically specific and happens across the board in all types of connections with other people.

Entanglements can get messy quickly and have a quality of need and a flavor of co-dependence to them. There is often a desire to change the other person. Other times they show up as completely merging in bliss with another, and result in a loss or collapse of self. You find yourself losing your own space and collapsing into what you are calling “The Relationship”. Entanglements often leave you feeling empty and unfulfilled and like something is ‘off’ internally.

True relating comes from a healthy and empowered space of wholeness. It feels light and connective and spacious. There can be a deep love and appreciation for the other person, with a knowing that your survival and happiness is not dependent on them.

I spent much of my own life entangling myself with other people’s energy instead of truly relating from my own space of Divine empowerment. My energy was constantly merging with other people as a way to make them feel more comfortable and I was afraid of getting in trouble for being who I really am. It felt safer to just blend into them and be a chameleon, instead of risking rocking the boat to assert my own space and needs. As a sensitive and empathic soul, I had no idea how to not collapse into another person. It felt natural for me to bend into someone’s energy field and merge with them, even though it was depleting and at times even felt really yucky.

It’s amazing how things can feel natural and yet are not in alignment with what is actually healthy or nurturing for our soul.

Early on we are taught/programmed/pulled to entangle (merge) with others energetically. We learn this as a way of following the rules and norms of society that throws a lot of “should’s” and suppressive beliefs at us to get us to conform to the mainstream agendas at play. We are taught to lower our vibration and dim our light, so as not to overwhelm or outshine others. We are taught that it is our responsibility to change who we are to make other people feel more comfortable. As the saying goes, “let’s not rock the boat”…

But guess what…?

You get to create your own rule set around this. And it’s 100% okay to rock the boat, to be exactly who you are and to start showing up differently in the world.

Yes, people and “entanglements” will exit your life, but those left standing will be the pillars (the true “relationships”) that are aligned with who you really are and support the evolution of your soul.

This old way of relating (which is really entangling and merging) no longer appeals to me. This new way of being (embracing my own wholeness) is something that I practice everyday now. I do this by holding my own space and observing the feelings that arise within me around wanting to people please or merge with other people’s energy fields.

As I honor my own experience and allow other’s to have theirs, I’ve found that something beautiful happens. There is a flowering of the heart and the aligned relationships quickly come into focus and blossom, while what is not aligned, simply drops away.

Through this practice of knowing my own space and energy field, my life has become rich with authentic, beautiful and heart-centered connections that deeply nourish my soul. It is no longer littered with draining entanglements that siphon or drain my life force energy.

Remember, only when you are whole and complete in yourself, can you attract another whole and complete being.

So the more love you give to yourself — the more you heal your inner wounding, distorted beliefs and need to entangle with others, and the more you decide to be exactly who you are in relating to other people — the more authentic empowered connections you will experience. You will move from “entanglements” to “relationships” and have the opportunity to fully love another from a wholehearted and complete space of being.

This is all part of what I call The Alchemy of Awakening. And so it is. Aho. Amen.

September 2016 Energy Report ~ September 17, 2016

This is really just a lovely article that gives us all quite a bit to think about. Endings and beginnings…how sweet! Please read this, see how this will play out in your life, and…

Injoy!

Welcome to September! I feel that this should be displayed with flashing lights because after the intense energy of the past few months this month will come as a welcome relief. Even though its theme is ‘A New Dawn’ and it is action packed with lots of energy activity, it’s all geared towards forward movement, with less of the hard edges that we have seen in the past few months. But this comes with conditions too because September is also a month where we will see a lot of our past coming up for review and we have to choose which path we’ll follow – the past or the future. Remember that the dawn arrives after the darkest part of the night. I think we’ve all been through that, don’t you? We have big choices to make this month but we get help making them in the form of very supportive energy that will allow us to see more clearly, choose more powerfully, and act with confidence. Are you ready for some action? Then you’re ready for September.

There is a lot going on this month that creates a number of powerful energy vortexes and more forward movement than we have seen in a long time. But we’re going to be moving back and forth, taking small steps backward with each step forward because the future’s foundation is firmly established once we release and have closure with the past. Here’s what is going on this month. First, we have two eclipses and a very powerful, unusual Mercury retrograde.

Then we have the Equinox on September 20^th, another Saturn/Neptune exact square, we begin phase 2 of our Spiritual Awakening cycle as Jupiter changes signs , Venus is in Libra (where it is very happy) and then moves to Scorpio (where it is not very happy), Pluto goes direct at the end of the month, and we have more ‘wounded healer’ energy from Chiron to deal with, especially at the month’s second eclipse, as well as the ongoing Uranus/Eris action that is shaking everything up.

This astro energy is important because we are part of a synergistic universe, in which every particle, including us, affects the whole. We want to be energetically sovereign and in control of our energy resources but that comes with great responsibility – we must be aware that each of us has the power to either poison the collective energetic well, or sweeten it, with every thought.

To understand September’s energy we have to look backward to 1997, because this month’s two eclipses are at the same degree that they were that September. Everyone remembers the September 1, 1997 eclipse, as that was the date Princess Diana died and the world stood still. The Queen of Hearts and the ‘people’s princess’ was a symbol of compassion and caring and her death was felt deeply at a global level. Now, 19 years later, we have another set of eclipses that mirror those and they are significant in their degree and their timing.

In 1997 we were in the early stages of the spiritual awakening cycle that would take root beginning in August 2003 with the Jupiter in Virgo cycle. Princess Di’s death created an enormous compassion vortex that united the world in grief as much as it made a choice to carry on her legacy of caring and acceptance. She changed the world forever and made it possible for us to take another step towards compassionate unity which was essential to opening the ascension portals.

That year the Moon’s North Node, an important astrological point, was also in Virgo, as it is now. This is another significant aspect of this cycle and one that adds a deeper layer of spiritual growth and transformation to this ascension journey. And that is another 19 year cycle that is being repeated now, expanded by the presence of Jupiter in Virgo, which changes sign this month. One thing we have now is Chiron in Pisces, its sign of exaltation (I believe) because it’s the natural ruler of Virgo. Chiron is responsible for all of the clearing we’ve been going through since late 2010.

The first eclipse, on September 1, was at 9 Pisces and stirred up the Saturn/Neptune square (more on that later in this article). This is like waking up the sleeping dragon, and it will be active all month. If you need to release a few illusions that are not serving you (maybe they are multi-dimensional relationships or hopes and dreams you have been clinging to with desperation) you’ll get the release you need now. Then the second eclipse on the 16^th falls at 24 Pisces, right on Chiron and activating, by aspect, Uranus/Eris and squaring Mars (Mars activity has been very high since 2015). More focus on clearing old wounds, releasing the pain and trauma, so new energy can take its place. Once again we have another September where the equinox is pushed to the background as other energy aspects take precedence. In fact the Equinox is a bit of a letdown after so much activity in the first 3 weeks of the month.

Now we get to take this one step further this month with phase 2 of our Spiritual Awakening cycle, which began in August 2015 when Jupiter entered Virgo. I wrote about this extensively in the September 2015 Energy Report which you can read here. As Jupiter goes into Libra on September 10 we shift our focus from healing to creating balance and congruent harmony (the theme of 2016), which requires that we jettison the baggage that is weighing us down (the density of 3D) and bring on board what lifts us up (5D energies like joy). And we don’t have to work too hard at this, the gap in dimensions is getting wider every day and those who don’t want to experience higher frequencies will be jumping ship all by themselves. We just need to make sure we don’t tie them to the mast of our ship to prevent them from leaving. Energetic Sovereignty is the theme of this game and it applies to everyone, even those people we don’t think know what they are doing.

Any month that begins with an eclipse, a Mercury retrograde, and a Mercury/Jupiter conjunction at the critical 29 Virgo degree is bound to have a few surprises and September does, as we will see as the month progresses. Even though it looks like the world is not changing, what we are seeing is the struggle of the 3D paradigms to maintain the status quo while the world continues to ignore them and go in a different way. One example of this is the recent DARK Act, which does not require corporations to label the presence of GMO organisms in their foods. Fine, we’ll just boycott the companies that don’t label it and when their quarterly profits fall enough, they will label GMOs voluntarily. This is the 5D paradigm thinking in action.

An example of how this is working is Kraft Corporation, which refused to stop using artificial food coloring in its highly popular macaroni and cheese product for the US market, while using turmeric for the rest of the world, where these artificial food colors are banned. So people stopped buying it and after experiencing a 14% loss in its quarterly profits at the end of 2015, Kraft will now use turmeric for the US market’s mac and cheese too. The 3D way would have been to initiate a class action lawsuit and fight them in court. Instead, organizers used an online petition and inspired people to stand up for what they wanted and that battle was quickly and easily won.

This month we’ll see people embracing more of their energetic sovereignty, which is required to integrate our divinity with our humanity. And if the 3D world doesn’t like it, we will just ignore it and do something else. We can’t ‘wage war to create peace’, but we can intend peace to make it the dominant energy in our individual and collective realities. It doesn’t serve us to send our energy towards what we don’t want; all we have to do is stay focused on what we do want. And each person who does that expands that potential to all of the world.

What was happening in your world in 1997 that is coming around for review? Are you seeing a repeat of things that happened in 1997 now? I sure am, and I’m facing very similar situations now that I did then. You can bet that I am making different choices, that was not a happy time for me. When faced with the past, choose joy in this moment, intend the most joyful reality and be willing to receive it.

The energy of 2017 begins this month with Jupiter moving into Libra on September 10, so start thinking about your new beginnings and how you want your life to be. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past, we must be focused on the present now, and use all of our energy to empower the new 5D paradigms that we’re giving birth to. If 2003 was a tough cycle for you, then this one can be much different because we are all, individually and collectively, in a far different place today than we were then. And we have a lot more support for transformation now because the focus was on healing then. Now our focus is on becoming whole, congruent, and flowing in harmony.

We have to mention some ongoing astro activity here, namely the Saturn/Neptune square that continues to be misunderstood and misinterpreted as illusion faces off against reality. What it really represents is the 3D/5D integration process that is another aspect of our ascension cycle. Saturn represents the 3D standoff, Neptune just goes off and does something else. Those who are energetically sovereign do not need rulers, they want unity, connection, collaboration, love, and peace.

I want to live in a world that is governed by leaders (not rulers) who reflect the desires of their constituents, not the interests of their corporate, military, and political cronies. That’s what the Saturn/Neptune square is doing – Saturn rules corporations, Neptune rules the spiritual, the energy of the universe, the unseen forces that bind us all together and make us one. Neptune has the leading edge, in case you are wondering, especially with this month’s Mercury retrograde, which is a huge game changer.

The Saturn/Neptune square is the predominant energy this month, as it was activated by the eclipse on the 1^st so it’s going to be working all month. And of course we have to mention the ongoing Uranus/Eris conjunction. Here we have the planet of revolution (Uranus) walking hand in hand with the planet of discord (Eris). The fur is flying and we’ll see that this month too.

The Mercury retrograde, which begin on September 1 with a conjunction to Jupiter at 29 Virgo will be in effect all month, and the usual Mercury retro rules apply – allow for extra travel time, double check communications, try to not initiate new activities and if you do, expect to have to re-do some of them after the retro is over. Mercury retrograde also brings up the past and in this case, it is heavily invested in ensuring that our past is truly over and done with. It has far deeper overtones, however, much different than any retro I can remember and I’ll discuss it in this month’s Energy Mastery Call, on September 4, which you can sign up for here.

One more thing I must mention, as it impacts everyone in the world, is the US presidential election in November. As I have said here before, I am astonished that in a country of nearly 400 million people, the best we can do for presidential candidates is Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. But this is just proof of how manipulated, corrupt, and staged our electoral process has become, even in ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave’. But don’t despair, this show is not over yet, we have some surprises coming up in October that may change the political scenery.

September is a new dawn and has lots of opportunities for transformation; however, dawn happens after the darkest part of the night and we have been through some dark nights indeed in the past few years. We can create change in any area of our lives and in the world by staying focused, intending our most powerful outcomes, and shining our lights brightly. We’re light beacons now, fully vested in our energetic sovereignty, and well grounded in our ascension path. But there is no ‘the’ ascension, it is a journey of individual steps, not a blast into a higher dimension in one giant leap of transformation. Those who are waiting for the spaceships to arrive and whisk them off the planet will continue be disappointed, as they have been for a while now.

We are the lights of the world, we are the divine ones, we are the hope for multi-dimensional being and living. The promise and potential of ascension lies within each one of us, it is time for that spark to become a bright light so we acknowledge our beauty, power, and purpose in this grand process of integrating heaven on earth. The veil is down, the blinders are off, and it is our turn to take center stage and bring this light home. Have a wonderful month.
