Happy New Year!

 Happy New Year!


Charles Dickens begins A Tale of Two Cities with  “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us …” Written in March 1859 

Life was not easy in Victorian England. Life is not easy in the modern world today. But it would seem the energies present are not so different almost 150 years later. And probably through out history epoch of societies and civilizations have gone through the same to the observing commentator. 

Take the day to let go of the blame, fear, your story of separateness. 

Access heart and feel where Wonder is present. 

And, for the rest of your day let Awareness of Wonder BE present. Instead of blame, fear, your story of separateness. 

Happy New Year!

JIE Episode 50 Blog/When BEing Alive is a Grand Adventure

 

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 

Podcast Releasing December 1, 2020


Episode 50 Blog/ When BEing Alive is a Grand Adventure

How do you define BEing alive? What is your rule set and defining aligning principles in play about you and Life?

We each come out of family dynamics that have a set up to them. We spend our lives working out of this bias and beliefs systems. You are either in it and okay or looking to be out of it.  What would it be like to be free to value and add excitement into your daily reality at your choosing? Not anxiety but excitement. Safety and self awareness your given.

What if you looked forward to opening your eyes each day and feeling the appreciation as you experience your breath?

Some of us don’t wake up into our day like that. We don’t want to wake up at all.

If this is the case what would it be like to reframe BEing alive into a grand adventure, every moment a choice with awareness to do something, feel something, different? It is all too easy to empower our habituated sense of Self into maintaining the illusions that Life is difficult, wearing, soul draining etc. etc. etc. And then you die!

If this is what lies in your expectation reality so it will be.  If, you are depressed, it defines you. Would you like to have an adventure instead?

If you are frustrated, this defines you. Would you like to have an adventure instead? If you find Life to be full of injustice or conspiracy is everywhere and victims and abusers also predominate your inner landscape, would you like to have an adventure instead?

If you think that no matter what you do nothing changes you too have a setup for misery.

All of these are perspectives of how one can live their lives. All of them are illusions that help us in what way? How are they useful? There is a payoff lurking somewhere. And at times we know it and feel helpless to change it.

What if you could simply get out of your mindset of projected thinking and go deeper than your emotions to the realm within that connects to your core essence of BEing? Deeper than your projections of Self that hold your story /illusions of who and what you are and unfold into a realm of wonder and indescribable beauty? Where every story/illusion is appreciated and can become  transcendent awareness enriching your life?

Something captures your attention. You decide to explore it. You may collect information about it from different sources that validate your interest or not. But you don’t know what something is about until you feel it for yourself. the details in the journey in our adventures are not known no matter how much you research or don’t. The adventure will take you places you have never been, may want to or not but you are better for it. It will have dramatic scenery and people and textures and flavors and moments of comfort and discomfort.  

Danger and excitement. Many think they don't like danger or adventure. They like the quiet and safety of never being challenged emotionally or physically. So they are easily thrown off balance when the stuff that can happens in life happens. Being open to something different, whether it be a bowl of soup or a zipline experience is good for the plasticity of the mind and soul. Doesn’t mean you have to live in a reality of daily risk all around you but being fluid enough to appreciate your own skills and experience you own self confidence.

So take this moment to notice. Notice what your reality state of BEing alive is about and make a choice. You can keep it the same, with it’s perhaps illusionary sense of safety within the boundaries you are imposing. That is a choice. Or perhaps in accessing deeper into your interior landscape of the sacred that is there, you can make a different choice. 

Where you are free to slip your old bonds of Self and expand into new adventures in BEing Alive. Where, Life is Grand.

JIE Episode 49 Blog/ There is No Responsibility in BEing Present

 

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 

Podcast Release Tuesday November 17, 2020


Episode 49 Blog There is No Responsibility in BEing Present

One of the strong integral parts of Self is what we perceive as the doer. In our interacting in BEing physical we manipulate, make action, with our environments and its elements. We are Creator.

When we are doing for ourselves and others obligation and responsibility can come into play. Sometimes we are the oldest child helping our parents’ parent our younger siblings or even our parents. We take on others which can come from caring, or as servitude. It can happen to the point of burden. We become responsible for outcomes that all too often are way beyond our scope of power at the time and results can foster helplessness, guilt and punishment can ensue.

We develop roles and realities that others need to be protected and cared for and are too weak, or sensitive or senseless or stupid to manage their own lives without our interference. They make poor choices they need to be saved from. We form our ideas about others that may have nothing to do with them but both others’ opinions and our own biases and projections.

When we switch to BEing, we free ourselves of our created stories/illusions and their conditions and patterns. We are in the position to notice our patterns of the doer and develop awareness, become mindful of cause and action. We can play with our connection to others as our stories/illusions of Self, adapt, grow, evolve.

It is about unplugging, as my friend and guest this week Rev. Janice Hope Gorman likes to say. It is choosing to disassociate from all the stories around us and mostly in each of us to give pause to allow our inner Self dynamics to relax. We connect with our Core Essence, the Infinite. We can then appreciate, recalibrate and then orchestrate what we are actively creating in any one moment. It is checking in to our self generated projection of reality, our story/illusion of identity. We become self- caring and allow for change where wanted, where desired.  

The stress we are all feeling seems unrelenting right now. There is so much overload or stimuli and information and intensity. People are running emotionally hot, not cool. How to relieve it is by choosing to release it in useful ways. By committing the simple shift through intention to enter into the field of heart centered awareness, of Unified Consciousness, into BEing present, into Oneness. 

We let go of the burden and responsibility of our story/illusion. And each time we do so our burden becomes less. Our story/illusion dictates soften. Our reality starts to reflect new awareness, new expressions, new appreciations. The old truly becomes the past. Our wants, our desires, change shape. What was important is no longer.

In BEing present we do, take action, through BEing. There is no responsibility in BEing, only moving through inspiration. Motivation is outside influences. We use them to inspire us to action. You don’t have to do something in order to BE.

In the quantum field of Consciousness responsibility is just a position, one of infinite positions one can assume. It is not who you are. It is only a position, a place holder in the field that you employ into form. Use it wisely. This is the payoff of BEing present.

Appreciation Transcends The State of Resistant Thought You Are In

 That’s why so many of us teach meditation. Because when you stop thought, you stop resistant thought. When you stop resistant thought, then you let it in. That’s why we teach appreciation, because when you’re in appreciation, you are not in the mode of resistance, and you are letting it in.

Excerpted from North Los Angeles, CA on 8/13/01

Our Love
Esther (Abraham and Jerry)

Did you realize that the boundaries in your story/illusion are creating resistant thought? When I read this quote above I realized that I had not thought of it in quite those terms.  

That is exactly what happens. How many times has someone suggested to you an idea, or version of your reality of yourself or some challenge you were dealing with that you automatically rejected? That is resistant thought in action. How much have we missed out in life because we were in a reality state of resistant thought, not open to new awareness?

It is what we do, every human individual on this planet. Our minds are constantly reinforcing its projected belief system and it can do it to a punishing degree, whatever the issue is. That is the power of biases and perceptions that make up our story/illusion mindsets. You have a thought, information and experience comes in and you make discernments. At some tipping point it shifts to a judgment and becomes part of your behavior and a story/illusion element. It become closed to new thoughts and interpretations and Mind goes on to the next thing. It has become you. 

Depending on our nature, we can build a lot of energy as part of the bias and become belligerent and righteous in our viewpoints. Ours is the only story/illusion and it is better than yours. 

Our willingness to accept a new premise or another's awareness of our projection comes from a reality state of Openness. One that is fluid based instead of block based. You know, all those times you felt blocked and there you were. You did not know how to deal with your block and it was all consuming and huge. You could not move it. This is a "powerless to make some thing different" reality state you find yourself to be in. 

What to do? 

Recognize what you are feeling and thinking in your self talk. And realizing that is the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. That this is only where you are in the moment of awareness. Now access your inner wisdom, core essence where out of the quiet of no thought, more information will be available. BE present and ask "What is the value in becoming aware of your setup of thought?" How is this moment useful? What is gained by feeling and then being stymied by your concern? What does it feel like for this to be different? New thoughts as awareness are present. 

Once you are open to new information, your willingness to accept it comes into play. And that too maybe  takes you to awareness of the pattern. Could be of more resistance, or of voices or experiences in the past that are engaged unknowingly, pushing agendas that have coalized into form. It can reveal your pattern of behavior in new ways and at the same time release and unfold into new patterns.  

Any engagement of potential into energy has its form, pattern, vibrational signature in your story/illusion. Notice i am not using words like weak for softer. Softer is a texture. Stronger/weaker is degrees of resistance. . 

This is where we are right now collectively. This is what is possible. Remove the resistance to what has happened. It has happened. That is the past. Recalibrate to a reality state of Appreciation. What shifts when you lose your anger of defiance and resistance to your perceived, projected story of illusion?

JIE Episode 47 Experiencing Energy

 

Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet

 Podcast Releasing Tuesday October 20, 2020 

Episode 47 Blog Experiencing Energy

One of the most delightful experiences of body/form is to experience one’s senses, to feel, hear, see, touch, smell and to “know” things. The fun comes in when you can feel, hear, see, touch, smell, and “know” things that have some sort of an energy signature of awareness and not so much necessarily solid in form, like ghosts or angels or fairies and nature devas.  

Maybe you are like me and have been aware of different energies since an early age. My friends and I can see much with our inner eye, dead people for instance. Or maybe you have a history of feeling energies that were identifiable in some way, but you could not see them. You could feel them either or both physically and emotionally. I have symbols that show up in different ways to my inner eye. You might have a sense of Déjà vu often, or knowing before the phone rings, that sort of thing. It is entertaining in my realm and something one can look forward to. 

All of it at times was thrilling, or maybe alarming depending on who I was at the time and the situation. It was just a thing that was part of me, usually unexpected but I was open to it all. I have had many different experiences over the years, including channeling to running healing energy through my hands. My experiences were most often in a reality of being helpful, user friendly and not about the battle of good/evil that it can be for many. I was not alarmed and judging what I was witnessing as bad. There was no horror or fear, only Grace at times and neutral the rest. But dealing with people’s projections takes stamina and centeredness and neutral terrain within.

Of course, when I was young, I was not always clear or understanding about boundaries and how energy works. I got into metaphysical studies in my early 20’s when I realized it was a part of my life. I wondered how someone could feel” bad” or unsettling in some way to me and I felt “bad”. I have felt attacked and then at times used. And, along the way I was perhaps clumsy with others in their feelings I am sure.

We are all sensory creatures with bandwidths of sensation that extend beyond our human limits into our metaphysical range. BEing energetically sensitive is easier when you learn one’s own nature and develop energy hygiene. When you are wanting to help another, understanding energy and potential dynamics is essential to successful work. There needs to be respect for how you are both organized within. You can realize that energy can take any form and like a blade be two sided, and due to the bias of observation, positive or negative. When in itself it is neither, just a manifestation of projection.

We all experience energy differently and unique to the individual so there are guidelines to consider and frameworks to embody that make life as an energetic being delightful and rewarding. All too often people can feel overwhelmed or done in by the energies around and in them. And most of the time people are not in conscious awareness of the energies around them that are affecting in some way, positive and negative unless it is brought to their attention.  

All information, life, stuff, fits within the core of Consciousness so it can be interacted with. It doesn’t matter if it is in the past, the future, the cosmos, your neighbor. Energetic dynamics abound. It just depends on your internal settings of sensitivity, tolerance, and story line which determine your reality settings and what you consider real and not real, possible, not possible.

Everything is vibrational and informational in nature when it is reduced to its essence. Energy is vibrational and can clean, clear, protect, heal, destroy. It provides us with intuition of the present and organizational in terms of time as past lives and the precognitive of the seer of future events. It connects us with other energetic awareness of forms corporeal and incorporeal such as angels and other life forms. It resonates with all elements of living matter such as crystals and plants and animal life and our space around us as in feng shui and the senses that track surroundings.  Everything living is registering information and is connected.  

Energy is found in the known and unknown, the manifested and unmanifested, our notions of what are real and not real. Energy does not care what you think, it only reacts and responds and forms and develops into patterns of vibrations that we sense and interpret and experience as the habituated thought and behavior. Again, and again, time after time. Unless, some thing happens in our rule set to instigate change, shift, in the moment.

For me, when I work with clients or students it is about appreciating their references and how they are helpful or not to them, not to me. That is what being energetically clear, neutral, to me is about. I have no agenda to push, just clarity for the often-felt confusion that is present which is what our issues most often are, confusion between mind and heart usually.

I am an empath, an energy empath. I feel energy in people, places, things, words, etc. in my body. We all do in some way, to some degree. It defines me. These days I look to benefit from all my trainings, experiences and awareness to “feel things from within my field” and not so much in my body or in attached manner. I realize that long ago I made the choice to embody this time, in this way to explore Life within the body/form and to explore BEing. It has taken me many places.

We all have our answers inside of us and where we have a sense of out there, somewhere, sometimes so buried, so wrapped up in a sense of lost that it is helpful to have another find the link. We share in this, this wonderful sense and experience we call BEing.

It is quite a journey of enlightenment that we are sharing.

A Nudge Good For Any Day of The Week

 Friday’s Nudge:

There are no accidents
If it's appeared on your life’s radar, this is why: to teach you that dreams come true; to reveal that you have the power to fix what's broken and heal what hurts; to catapult you beyond seeing with just your physical senses; and to lift the veils that have kept you from seeing that you're already the person you dreamed you'd become.
And believe me, that was one heck of a dream.
Tallyho,
The Universe

My friend Mari Hall posted this on her facebook page the other day. She is the founding director of the International Assoc. of Reiki and always has wonderful daily postings. It must have been last Friday. I saw it yesterday. It is a wonderful directional marker in Consciousness. it is a nudge that is good for any day of the week.

Where one is, is here. Sometimes you don't know how you got here but you find yourself here. And, sometimes, you know quite well how you got here. And, you don't always feel good about it.

But here is where you are. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

You are in an individual body you call Self, Me and I within a mindset observing that body called Self, Me and I. How mind is formed shapes how you view your body, here, in this moment.

It is a moment. To be used however you want. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

Are you conflicted? Are you in denial? Are you , are you, are you....? Are you okay? Are you aware of the wonder to be found in being alive, in BEing in formed sensory awareness that registers not only wonder but the lack of, as pain? It can be uphill or downhill from here.

Whatever, however you view this moment to BE it is that and not, as it is only illusion from your mind story. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

No body wants pain or suffering but we do it so well, so easily when we allow it to be in our formed reality. We can learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. It can hold meaning of many different nuances. It is not the final version but only part of the version, the illusion we are running, in and often from.

If you are in judgement of this moment, it is only that, a discernment of the moment. If is is part of a judgement you are holding about life in general and yours in particular it is set in stone, carved deeply. Acceptance is helpful. Trust is implicit.

All of this is about your Core Essence choosing to interact as you in your body/form. What your Core Essence is choosing this go-around to enjoy about Enlightenment. Maybe this is why we seem to enjoy our misery. Because from the perspective of Consciousness all is to be enjoyed for the sheer sense of feeling as part of the spectrum. Consciousness is. It reflects us and is much more. For it holds both the manifested and unmanifested, the known and Unknown, the real and not real. So, at any one moment both are available to us to engage as and with. We are exploring and utilizing contrast in the spectrum of Life, of BEing in being alive.

All our moments have the meaning we give them. If there is no need to validate our moments in our stories what is possible? Is our moment one of many like a faceted jewel, catching the light as we turn it and different at every perspective, always beautiful no matter the refraction?

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Life Is Curiosity

 


Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 

Podcast releasing September 8, 2020

Episode 44 Life Is Curiosity 

I wanted to wrap this episode with Hollister Rand about what we found in being open to Life: Curiosity. In these times we need to be open and curious to our own changing inner terrains.

Curiosity is our desire to know or learn something new. It can also be a strange or unusual object or fact.

It is an attitude, a behavior, an urge, an emotion. It allows you to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, giving you a greater opportunity to experience discovery and joy. Indeed, studies show that life is better when you are curious. It is important to relating to others such as family and friends. We like it when they want to know about us not just assume what we like and enjoy. It supports good mental health and in finding meaning in life.

When we let ourselves be present, accessing ourselves as Consciousness, we are in an open system of state and sense of awareness. When we engage our realities that are open to new information, we experience evolution. Open, free of our stories of bias that just become placeholders in our evolving sense of BEing.

Bias creates a closed system of beliefs. When we are in fixed realities of beliefs, we experience stagnancy. The fix says we have learned enough about this or that and let’s go on to the next thing without question or more in-depth exploration. Forgetting that the thing, or fact is really a belief and not necessarily a truth, just an illusion formed and created and solidified so it seems real.

In this reality, everything is organized to support the limited perspective turning it into a habituated resonance. Any new information that challenges the viewpoint is automatically rejected. The belief becomes a false truth that seems real. It will take a strong emotional event to question the status quo. If there is an equally determined frame of reference it will hold steady or allow for change that will collapse back into the old.

This is how powerful, how in alignment mindsets can be. Once a choice of thought is made everything will align to keep it in place. Reality forms, lives follow the dictate.

If we take out the positive AND negative definitions, the judgments, out of the picture of a limited Self, information can be present that can be explored as Curiosity engaged. Flow is experienced and what may have seemed stuck, hard, or rigid becomes malleable and collapses into new patterns of behavior and thought. Self re-defines anew. What once was, is no longer. This is flow, this is harmony, this is Life evolving.

But there are many who don’t engage in evolution as a reality. They harbor dogmas that say to be the same is the best way to live. To question and display curiosity is threatening. We let another have responsibility to think for us. It is one way to live.

Then there are those of us who engage in Consciousness, Oneness and Wholeness as reality and accessing information as easy and everyone birthright and skill set out beyond the human limits to enjoy what may come, accepting that adversity and trauma have as much to offer us as the light and fluffy. Life is a spectrum of sensation, awareness, feelings and thoughts.

We live with a sense of adventure for the unknown, known, manifested, unmanifested, miracles and magic of experiencing information beyond our human held limits of Self. Curiosity will release our imagination and open us up to creative new ways to unify elements held in potential.  

We play with Life here before us, Spirits and sprites, ghosts and old knowledge yet not discovered. We look to connect in new ways and build buildings. We embrace Science and technologies and explore the heavens and earth and her landscapes of natural resources and flora and fauna all because we are curious about Life and the potential to enhance our human experience. We ask questions to better understand ourselves. We look to the knowledge of our past histories to explain our “now” in terms of understanding our Journeys of Enlightenment.

Our curiosity helps us discover the not yet noticed patterns in behavior and events. We are all enhanced by others and our shared state of informational flow. Someone else’s curiosity enriches us.  

Curiosity connects us to realities filled with delights, thrills, exploration, adventure, mysteries, quests, ideas, willingness, openness, challenge, the wisdom of the sages, appreciation and unlimited bliss, creative communications, our imagination and the wonder, absolute wonder that Life is. 

Game on!

The Mask It's All About You by Bill Protzmann

Image by Alexandra_Koch from Pixabay 
A friend and past guest on my podcast, Bill Protzmann. of Music Care Inc. sent this out last week. I so enjoyed it I thought I would pass it on to you.

 Whenever I hear people feeling challenged to wear a mask I am noticing how they hold the reality of Oneness. I am claustrophobic myself so wearing one is not my favorite thing to do but I do it anyway. As I get ready for my upcoming surgery I will appreciate the masks worn by the medical staff around me. They do this to help keep their stuff clean of mine. IT is all about mindset. For me it is not about control. It is about politeness, courtesy and respect towards each other. All which are forms of Love. 
"This article originally appeared at PracticalHeartSkills.com and is used here with kind permission of the author."
“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing…once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” – famously misattributed to Sir Winston Churchill
My Dear Friend:
When you see me wearing a mask these days, think of me as you would think of a slightly eccentric but kindly uncle who only wants the best for you until you can inherit some of my considerable wealth.
When you wonder why I mask up like this or suspect I might be towing someone else’s line out of sheer dogged compliance, just know that when I wear a mask, it’s really all about you.
I could really care less what some high government official or healthcare expert says about wearing a mask. I don’t have much regard for either of them these days.
I could really care less for what you think of me, too. Please don’t take that the wrong way: this isn’t about me. It’s about you.
You see, I’m not the first one to wear my mask for you, and I won’t be the last.
The thing is, you matter to me. What you think. What you do. How you live in your corner of our crazy world.
It matters to me that you enjoy your culture, your home, your friends, your family, probably as much as anyone else does.
It matters to me that you think, feel, act, sing, pray, meditate, stream videos, vote, work at some occupation that matters to you, hold to your convictions, act as if…and it matters to me that you do all those things to help you belong in our world in the way that works best for you.
It matters that you do many of those things differently than I do. Yes: differently.
If we were all the same, what a boring place this world would be.
Yes, I know: underneath it all, we are all basically the same, but that’s not the point.
The point, my friend, is that I’ve run out of ways to honor you.
I’ve been locked down, quarantined, circumscribed, mandated, and browbeaten into compliance with arbitrary rules no one could have imagined last year. And so have you. We are, in this pandemic-infused moment of history, together in so many more ways than we are apart.
Except when we aren’t apart.
In those limited moments when I pass you on the sidewalk, or in the pharmacy or the grocery store, or on the subway, train station, bus, café, or empty shopping mall, most of my safe ways to honor you have been masked. You can’t always see me smile from my eyes. You can’t always see the compassion there, too.
And sometimes, my dear friend, you don’t want to. I can’t say I blame you. Things are fraught, and you might just find me offensive for any number of reasons that I don’t know and can’t guess.
But here’s the thing: I love you.
Doesn’t that just sound trite, pithy, and useless?
Honestly, sometimes it’s all I’ve got to give you. I can’t say it to you, can’t offer you my hand in greeting, can’t hug you like a long-lost parent or prodigal child.
Not because I don’t want to, but because I love you, and you deserve love, honor, and respect, and the usual ways I had for offering that to you aren’t options for me now.
I’ve had to invent a new way to show you that I care for you and for who you are. I’ve had to open what’s left of my much-battered heart and offer something to you from that vulnerable place. We are, after all, united in our pain right now more than in any other way.
Oh yes, I know you put on your brave face and walk it into the world every day as if pain isn’t a factor in your life, but that’s not why I love you. I love you, you see, because I used to be that person, too, and I have learned to live in this world “with its harsh need to change you” as the poet David Whyte writes.
The world has changed me, my friend, into that possibly-wealthy, slightly-eccentric, kind, (mostly) tolerant and accepting uncle you wish you had.
Well, you’ve got me. And you’ll know me when you see me. I’m the one wearing a mask.
Sincerely –
Bill

JIE Episode 39 Blog/ Our Business Cultured Bodies


Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 
Podcast Release June 30, 2020 

Episode 39 Blog
Our Business Cultured Bodies

The qualities that define good business leadership can be applied to how we as individuals live our lives. For many work is just a place to go and earn money. It is work. It is a job. It is a livelihood.  It can be encased in grudging, resentful or apathetic energy.

Then there are those who enjoy work as an expression of their passions about life. It is about BEing in alignment with our internal drives and skills and sense of community with others. 

My delight in having John J. Murphy as my guest on Episode 39 was founded in the challenge of finding Spiritually aware people who embrace the notions of Oneness and Appreciation as their business model. And not from within religious dogma which can be filled with exclusion. John’s awareness of the people involved in business is that they have worth because they are worthy.

We can take the qualities that he finds in a successful business culture as elements applying to our own business, we find in BEing in form. He identifies the qualities every good leader resonates with and most importantly how to work with others and being able to follow along towards a common good.

Any business is only a reflection and expression of ones’ vision and desires. Which is what our bodies represent to ourselves and others when you think about it. 

Make some time to allow yourself to BE present. Breathe in and out, let your heartbeat come into awareness and where the two interact with each other. Let your definition of Self BE over there and you just BE here.

Let’s consider your body as a business. Notice who is in charge. Not in the sense of dictating but in empowering and monitoring the transfer of information to and through the different avenues our glands, organs, skeletal and system designs we operate in. 

Is there a mission, a vision that all are aware of to relate to? Is there harmony and clear communications between all departments? Are all being valued for the role they play in the totality of this body as spirit and soul and mind? 

Is there good feedback for both localized concerns and outreach? Is there infighting for supplies and favor or only appreciations for the easy seamless effort of the mechanics of taking in a breath and the beat of the heart living and all the wonder that comes from being together working in a sense of Oneness, Unity and Teamwork.

Just notice and let awareness blossom as a flower that opens in the sunlight. Let your body unfold into new appreciations of your new normal of BEing.

Episode 37 Blog/ At The Core Of Our BEing   

I am not in any way shape or form with any level of training as a scientist with specific training and learning traditions. But I can speak to their fields of knowledge from my own experience and wisdom.  

Consciousness is made up of many things. Actually every thing, in the cosmos is part of collective we call Consciousness. Be it energy or form of some sort that we can observe and that which we cannot observe as it has no observable physical form but is just as real. And then there is Potential, the Unknown. Space too is not empty but filled with dynamic energies we can label.

Depending on your training you can take apart all the known and unknown factors that we use as anchors in Consciousness. Things like electricity and gravity and magnetism can be observed taking place and then there is what is taking place that is not seen but maybe observed over years, like the nature of black holes. There is also Scalar energy which is found on our quantum level of awareness. 

Go inward and sit in the seat of the Spirit realm as such. It is the quantum realm. It all can get confusing at times when we are thinking about it. Religion and what we think spirituality is, what metaphysics is and what science is finally identifying comes with language that can just create more confusion when we have broad backgrounds of inquiry and exploration about BEing. Pile on lots of studies and confusion can reign in the alignment. Different traditions use different language for referencing the same thing. And then one may tend to use a mix of terminology.

So we pull back the labels and just let our senses experience. We pull back and let mind relax and we enter into the world of scalar dynamics and energy.  We enter our core Essence as Consciousness.

Scalar energy is quantum energy. It is life force, called prana, chi, mana, zero point field, and other things. We can feel it. We can manipulate it. We can create with it. We can heal with it. We don’t make it. It is the given.

My metaphysical senses and abilities at an early age took me places with being intuitive and psychic and hot hands that could make others feel better, clear conditions. My hands don’t get that hot these days but if I wave my hand people can fall over.

By my adult years, my life’s health journey was compromising the length and quality of life. I would come to find myself exploring into the quantum realm of embracing Life. I had to go beyond any training or tradition of medicine. Going beyond my own or anyone else’s construction of God, Source, Universe and the Spirit realm. Taking all the metaphysical skills I had and reframing conclusions and seeming certainties into a state of just information, not judgments that I was not even aware I was holding.  

I reconnected with the power of not just Self/Mind but of not seeing a spiritual life in terms of good and evil, the world full of rights and wrongs and thinking that mind was all there was and believing in my limitations as real. Any emotion, be it love, fear, abandonment, etc., any trauma of abuse or compromise had value in the scheme of things. My judgments were the issues. My human values.    

I started to explore the reality of Consciousness that our quantum levels of awareness embody. I had to find a way out of my box that was turning into a casket.

I didn’t have to become a physicist or quantum scientist. I just began to appreciate the growing field of Consciousness technologies. And sharpening up my sense of bias, of judgments and conclusions that are in every thing we observe and label in any tradition of learning. I just learned to let go of what I thought something had to be into just being open to noticing what was present to my senses and not judging the information. To be in a state of Essence.

I can feel when bias is present in the word used. I could pull the qualities of awareness into my own observations about energy. To be free of any religious, spiritual labels and encompassing beliefs that not allowing me to access potential. To shift how I was experiencing life from within my own bias of rules about life and those traditions of learning were encompassing. How I was fulfilling my destiny and playing into my own creation.  I needed to create different rules of bias if I was to live.

And so, it began, this part of my journey of enlightenment. Into BEing. I had been all along but not with any awareness that I was forming my reality. That I would start unfolding into my truth of Essence as Consciousness free of any dictates we label. 

Someone can tell you something and you agree or disagree it is true because it has no connection to you within.  You don’t feel any connection. And the connection can be there but confusion/avoidance/resistance is wrapped around it. Connection is a feeling. It is also a sense and a state of awareness.

Scalar energy is in the core, the heart of everything that is in the cosmos and in us. It is sunlight and starlight and it is the essence of Life.

"The Grand Revelation" by Harvey Kraft

This week I am sharing with you a poem from Harvey Kraft. He was a guest on my Episode 4 of Journeys into Enlightenment with Janet podcast. We talk about Consciousness BEing a Sense and what happens when we consider it this as well as a state of awareness.

He is Author of "The Buddha from Babylon"​ Digitalism, Transformational Leader, Spiritual Archeologist

You can catch his frequent postings on LinkedIn and Instagram (@Buddhascope).

Enjoy! 

“The Grand Revelation”

It happened to me
In an unexpected way
At an unexpected time
When I was neither
Ready nor willing
Caught in limbo
In the midst of a raging battle
Between
The desire for survival and
The pursuit of meaning.

Like a spiritual laser
Entering the unseen eye
Between my eyes
The grand revelation
Drilled deep
Within me
At breakneck speed
Penetrating through
All my limitations
Until it hit
The core of my
Existence,
Like a ton of bricks,
Instantly expanding
My mind
Enabling me to view
The overarching panorama of
What’s going on
Here now
From a grand perspective
Beyond the limits of
Time
Thought
Planetary scope
Individual concerns and
Human endeavors.

Piercing through my
Sensibilities,
Releasing the
Inherent wisdom
Incubating in the space of
Higher Consciousness,
The grand enlightening
Encompassed both
Mortality and eternity,
Showing me that
Neither one
Nor the other
Prevails,
As both —
Although
Viewed as opposites —
Are actually one,
Releasing me
From either/or and into
The realm of fulfillment,
Causing me
To feel so light
I had no weight at all,
Like wings of a feather
Lifting me up high into an
Indescribable awakening.

JIE Episode 35 Blog/What You Might Have Missed In School



Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 
Podcast Episode releasing Tuesday May 5, 2020

Ep 35 Blog What You Might Have Missed In School

Most of us lead busy lives. If we took college classes or utilized therapy some where in our past, we might have learned about the different levels of BEing energetic humans equipped with minds. We may have learned about ways of behavior. We may have learned information in our psychology, sociology, and science classes about how to relate to ourselves. OR maybe we focused elsewhere. 
.
I am including an excerpt from my guest Jennifer Foster’s book 2020 The Way Forward about her Energetic Dynamic Model (EDM). You will learn all about what you forgot or never learned about BEing human. Then check out the online EDM Academy and enroll in the beginner’s course 'Core Motivational Training'. This teaches you all about 'who you are', your Power Needs and how to understand negative emotions. It is free too. The link to this free PDF is found on the website www.energydynamicmodel.com

“To achieve personal and consequential societal transformation, three essential ingredients are needed. 1) Knowledge and understanding of what has happened, how / why we have arrived at this place in the world

2) How people function from a common sense / intuitive / useful and effective perspective. 

3) The ability and necessary support to apply this knowledge to yourself, your friends/ family / workplace / community you live in.

The first volume contained in this book, a play called 'The Answer', provides a general knowledge and understanding in reference to points 1 and 2. It  looks at how we, as human beings, have been taken away from our natural state of being at an increasingly alarming rate since the industrial revolution in the late 1900s in the UK. 

It examines how this has been achieved through cultural and societal changes. The roles we have been encouraged to play in the world of work, education, women and religion have all contributed towards this end. Success, outside approval and the desire for money have overtaken our real human needs of love, care, safety and health. We have become creatures who look for our own 'Answer' outside of ourselves, and in relation to everything else that surrounds us.

'The Answer' goes on to reveal the depth of self-deception we have all been encouraged to go along with, wrapping up with a long hard look at understanding why we become distracted from our real purpose and meaning of life, by money, approval and success.

The second volume, 'The I In The Storm' focuses on the second key point.  Teaching you exactly how to identify and understand 'who you are', emotions, feelings, the imagination, the role of the mind and your personal Energetic Dynamic, this shows you in a step by step guide what you need to do in order to raise your level of awareness, consciousness and personal performance.

The third point, the ability to apply this knowledge to yourself and support to do this, is addressed by joining the on line Energy Dynamic Model Academy.”

**Remember, you can learn about the Energy Dynamic Model in any way you choose. You do not have to complete all the steps, and you can do them in any order. **

And if you have any questions, please email info@energydynamic.co.uk

Thank you.

Be safe"
