| Growing with Earth |
If this world seems overwhelming at present, it's time to step into your role as a creator— a duty which entails empowerment, of knowing our responsibility for what energies we put out into the world and working with a higher perspective of Life, bringing true intelligence into this realm rather than constantly feeding and plugging into the lower narratives of the mainstream media, conspiracy theory crowd, religious groups or new ageism. We need true philosophers, learned and disciplined minds who speak when there is something to say and otherwise enjoy the silence and allow the Great Mother to inspire when it is appropriate and we are ready. Restraint of mind is a necessary skill at the moment, and the current chaos is elucidating exactly how and where we have not developed this virtue.
Sure, there is the level of reality where conspiracies are happening, agendas of control playing out. But in the face of this, do we settle for that plane as the one that dictates our thoughts, feelings and actions— or do we seek the more subtle layers, the realms of illumination which can transform the darkest of outlooks with the neutral light of Truth. And to tune into the subtlety, we require the silence, the rest, the pause, that we so rarely get when operating with the bustling rhythms of the consumerist matrix. The intention of this matrix is less to kill off humanity than to endlessly distract us, keep us stupid and dull and out of touch with the wisdom from beyond the superficial structures of communication.
I found an earring while out in nature that had two spirals and a turquoise type stone. I felt the message was that these were the two spirals of going inward and outward simultaneously, united through the living heart. When our inner and outer processes are synchronized through oneness with life— as opposed to getting overly absorbed in just one facet of experience— we will sit in the heart of Creation and receive true knowledge; that from the Earth Mother.
These changes are helping to illuminate what illusions we have clung to, asking us to become more Spirit-oriented rather than fueled by outer stimuli or inner stories and dogmas. Life itself is to become our central flame again, and the body is this meeting point between inner and outer.
Growth can only be sustained by the Mother when we are balanced and centered in the heart. The mind likes to go to extremes but it will only pull us away from this simple reality. Many nowadays like to brush off old wisdom teachings as irrelevant to these times or even as distorted. But perhaps it’s time to be humble to the basic skills of life the Ancients sought to articulate and preserve for future generations: sane thinking, patience, focus, clarity, humility to learn and to admit “I don’t know” and surrender to a force greater than ourselves.
When we parrot ideas about what is transpiring and stay on a superficial level, we are not tapping into our creative potential. We have not embraced the unknown and thus are cut off from the real source of creative life force. Co-creation with life is our greatest power and what the dark forces don’t know how to do. They don’t create through synthesis of polarities, the holy trinity which is the key. Instead they stay in a constant dualistic dynamic of action/reaction. But we can create in this enlightened way. And now we must. God gave us this magical ability and it is what will always protect us from the lesser vision that says humanity is doomed, or humanity is going to have a savior, or there is a vast geopolitical agenda that requires our intense attention. The “spiritual teachers” who don’t understand and convey the science of creation, of how to alchemize light and shadow, how to be creators of humble beauty and magic in our own daily life— don’t carry the full knowing of light. They are not illumined, because illumination means one has surrendered for real, surrendered the role of teacher or knower to become one with the Great Mystery.
Why we see such outpouring of theories now is because in moments of uncertainty the immature mind will always try to retain control. To let it all crumble, to surrender, is against the modus operandi for the lower monkey mind. It is the sign of a true adult and leader to back away, stay silent sometimes and watch as things evolve without jumping to conclusions or pretending to understand what no one fully does. The leader is the one who actually grows with life, because he/she is willing to let all of the known die, to make space for rebirth of a new structure. She has a true voice which derives from her grounding in her own source, from Original Being and Thinking. She thus doesn’t repeat an amalgam of what others say from their own misinformed and volatile opinions— but waits to be shown.
It’s time to trust the wisdom of that which is more permanent and reliable— nature, first and foremost. A real tuning into organic reality will bring philosophical understandings if one is open to receive them. And if we need inspiration, there is a plethora of great art and literature made by men and women who have also understood the true source of knowledge and dedicated their lives to sharing their findings with fellow travelers on the path.
