Consciousness and the intersections of Consciousness and Self

Last week I released my first episode of Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet. The focus of my podcast will be about the intersections of Consciousness and Self. Each episode released every two weeks will usually feature a friend who will join me in Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness and share about the myriad and different aspects of Being.

Like with my show "Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet" my intention is to create in this space a container for others to indulge in. What you found in CCwJJ and will find again here with me is Heart Centered Awareness. There is lots of of great work out on the airwaves. What we looked to do different was sit within the reality of Consciousness as a real state as Joan and I explored Being and relating to topical concerns. We are the only radio show to offer that.

Every guest who joined us on the air felt it. It is the reality of being present, where change can happen in a moment that can last a lifetime. By just listening and allowing yourself to be in that reality state with us your connection to yourself as essence can make differences in your every day life.

Consciousness technologies allow us to feel different in the moment for time and space are malleable. When you listened into the show, if you knew what you were feeling, you felt the shift from Self to Consciousness. It is at our core. It is our essence. If you were new to the state you felt it and just didn't maybe know what you were feeling. And, no matter what you called it, God, Source, Universe, Cabbage it was real. In the spectrum of awareness in Being we are all at different places and sensory input so there is always variance in sensations between all of us.

Consciousness is at the core of All. Every rock, wave, finger, bush, gas, you name it. It is the core of human reality here on planet Earth and in the cosmos. We are all one. As humans experiencing life we feel, resonate in certain ranges of vibrations that are perhaps different levels of awareness from other matter, other essences, other energies. But all, fall within the core of Consciousness.

I look to celebrate all of this in my new podcast. Once again each episode will start with accessing HCA and what comes out of this space with my friend of the episode. And this time the focus will be perhaps more on the timeless quality of Being and not so much on the chaotic nature that Self can entertain. We will pull from our different histories, references, trainings, skill sets, and different wisdom of the past and appreciate it all in the present.

Our Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet podcast page will reflect the topic and conversation. Included will be my friend's bio, picture and their contacts. You will find the featured word highlights along with a special blog written for the topic. As part of the episode there will be a featured meditation from my husband Tom Barrett's extensive Interlude:An Internet Retreat meditation archive. There will be a few Consciousness Cookies, bits of wisdom from the ages and now. With place for any additional works of art as poems or books are mentioned in our conversation.

At one time in the world's civilization all roads led to Rome. It was considered the center of the Roman Empire. In this time there are more than one path to Consciousness. It us individually on our Journey of Enlightenment.

So whether you catch Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet on my website or at the CTR Network 
or my Youtube channel Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet Barrett  I know you will enjoy where your journey meets mine. I look forward to meeting you there.

Consciousness & Fuzzy Photons Playground Groups starting Thursday

How are you doing these days? You are on my mind when I write weekly about what we explore in our Portland based Consciousness groups. I think of you as I send out each and every Consciousness message to those who want to feel connected to something not definable and at basis to all that is.  

 For the last 13 years I have facilitated groups for consciousness exploring. Students of different consciousness technologies, meditation practices, metaphysical disciplines all have gathered here in community. We explore what happens when we hold potential as real and active as it truly is within each of us. We access this as a reality state where change is possible and can be engaged and felt in the moment and we are different, the pattern changed, the issue transformed, our story embodies a new direction. We change our future by being present and allowing our pasts to be only that, the past, not our present, not our future. 

I have written about what happens in those groups. It has also been my absolute joy. The writing has been my offering of support to you. It is my way to help others maintain a connection, to keep fresh this expansive experiencial state. To help go beyond our tired boundaries and labels that religion and spiritual trainings have provided. To release our habituated behaviors of thinking and creating. To take this back to its essence, potential. To help you keep the state real when maybe you have felt remote, or isolated by physical distance to us here and/or mindsets around you. 

Whatever your current relationship to your training or participation, maintaining the state of Potential, Heart Centered Awareness, Field of Unified Consciousness, Zero Point Field, Source or the other words you may call Consciousness, it is Real.  Within the group we revel and deeply, deeply appreciate ourselves as Consciousness expressing. The stillness of not doing, of only noticing, is present. We are always going beyond our perceived limitations or beliefs. In our shared experience we recognize that we truly are One, individuals sharing.

Fuzzy Photons are what we each are made up of deep within our base elements of life. We are clouds of photons of light that dance as a cloud of possibilities. They are fuzzy as their motion. When we focus on one it becomes the only and the pattern is formed, reality is set as perception and bias making up our stories of being. All of which are subject to change when you engage this awareness state as active and use deliberate intent.   

Starting this Thursday March 1: 

Fuzzy Photons Playground Groups

Live, 2hour, interactive meetings

Via Zoom Video Conferencing

Thursday mornings 10am-noon Pacific

Thursday evenings 6pm-8pm Pacific

Group size is 6-10 members committed to a weekly meeting

Price: You decide $10.00, $15.00 or $20.00 per meeting, paid beginning of month

Pre requisite: Familiar with experiencing Heart Centered Awareness, or a one hour preparatory session with Janet.  Price: $200.00/ Sliding Scale if needed.

Utilizing Zoom Video Conferencing, our live, 2 hour interactive group meeting responds to your input and challenges each week.  Zoom’s tools allow for video streaming images of each participant – including a name listing, public and private chat rooms, and breakout rooms which allow for one-on-one play. These interactive tools connect us in a way a webinar, phone call or even Skype does not.

We will start with clearing the patterns and language that keeps us from continuously enjoying and embodying potential. We will focus on accessing new reality states with the patterns challenging us. Consistent play develops awareness and self-confidence, so we meet weekly. The group’s dynamics will keep you enjoying Fuzzy Photon reality again.

What is possible for you and each of us in the field of Potential? What would it be like to feel the warmth, support, non-judgement and appreciation that is Grace? I extend this to you with the Fuzzy Photons Playground Groups.

Consciousness is opportunity oriented and opportunities abound right now collectively for quantum leaps in awareness and delight. Come join us as we leap beyond our own illusions of self.

Email me at janetb@janetandbeyond.com to sign up, indicating which playground group time is preferred, and to receive your Playgroup questionnaire, release and payment directions. Also, email me if you have any questions or thoughts to share and please pass this if you know someone who would enjoy our play.

Looking forward to our adventure together,

Consciousness Adventuring/ Using the Light the Path is Clear

Hello All, 

Sometimes the path is clearly lit. We might know we have to step with awareness for there are rocks along the path. And, what we see ahead isn't always the warmest looking destination. It can look like more storm ahead. And yet there we go, through the opening that is in front of us. Because we know where we have been and the light on our path and through the opening leads us onward.

Often our work is like this. Living is like this. "Been there, done that. Don'want to do that again." we might be inclined to say. So with awareness and knowing that we are on an adventure we continue on our way. 

We are adventurers. To be human is to explore. Some of us choose to explore in the minutia of life and some take big steps outward. Consciousness is without boundaries, allowing for all. Humans set up the limits and definitions. In Consciousness there is no right, no wrong, no anything. No judgments. And you can perhaps feel how some part of yourself may challenge that or feel uncomfortable. Which is exciting. 

It is exciting because you have just become aware. Because before you react, which can be a hair trigger moment, there was this moment of "OH", that feels good or that does not feel so good. Which is the human gaining awareness. And, in the right state of being, of Heart Centered Awareness you can pause and let yourself notice what is happening. What is getting triggered and what do you choose to do about it. The automatic response is on notice now. Control now has a chance to shift just a bit into more of a flow moment and allow for something new if wanted. It can be subtle or send the rocks in motion. When they settle you can notice that the path is now clear. 

Let go of the judgments today and see what happens. If that seems challenging let go of them for the next hour. Operate with no assumptions. Access Heart Centered Awareness and allow for your awareness of the light there to light your way and operate out of it for the next hour as you interact in your world. Notice the "Oh" moments and then your thoughts and actions. This is the Sea of Potential we are accessing here. Where every thing is not a thing yet, just bits and pieces, flotsam and jetsam, waiting to become some thing else. A new pattern, a new behavior. Where what was can be no longer and can become some thing else. 

The path is clear no matter what might seem to be in the way. 

Love, janet

Consciousness Cookies for Today

Hello Out There,

Tapping into our connection as Consciousness is easy. Feeling it can rock your boat. Understanding what is happening is optional and not really important at times. And there might not be a lot of words available to articulate as it is our right brain that is engaging and not our left brain verbal processor. We will show you the very simple steps and let our authentic voices make themselves heard. And, then, the shift. That is the key.
What fun!

Food for Thought

At the Portland Body, Mind and Spirit Expo this past weekend I had the chance to meet a very nice group of people that didn't always know what or why they were in front of me. They might have been trawling through as we can tend to do at these sorts of events. But for those that chose to accept a free Consciousness Cookie that I had provided  (and most everyone did) it was a moment to contemplate. Food for Thought without the calories!

Joan, my partner on Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet, and I offered a 50 minute presentation on Consciousness and about the shift that we are all feeling these days and maybe don't have the language or understanding of what is happening. It is Quantum Leap time, People! Those of us who do this work see it, feel it, hear it, know it, and experience it crosses through our cell membranes. It was interesting to hear what people thought about Consciousness and Consciousness Technologies and most of it was new to the interested general public.

I was busy doing demos for those interested in feeling something different and shift in their conscious realities. Every body felt something and when we moved out and about in regards to some area that was showing up, it was sensed. It will be interesting to hear back from those who participated and I know that some will respond to their sign ups for more information and about the play groups. I also are aware that is also easy for some to just walk away and put it down to the moment. Not realizing that, even though I said it would continue, that it might get lost in the day. And, maybe not. My reality set is that it will make a difference whether they or myself are aware of it or not.

The only way to effectively handle the changes coming up and out of the chaos in our worlds is to connect to our sense of Consciousness as Heart Centered Awareness, Unified Consciousness or Source or Universe. The label only reflects the training and bias and not the state.

We are each redefining ourselves and opening up to the collapse of systems and labels that don't serve any longer. Whether in religion, business, spirituality, politics or contemplating our collective navels, shift is happening globally. Which is very exciting and maybe traumatic for some. Traumatic is okay when we hold it in reference to letting go and/or holding on what no longer serves. Depending on how we have each set up our games about Life and our power as Consciousness, change can be easy, simple, smooth or Hell on Wheels and everything in between. It can bring out the extremes.

What is important is that we each have the power to self lead in new ways. We don't have to follow hollow states, institutions and personalities. Most of the time we live in states of Uncertainty and so we go to others for help.

When that state shifts I have yet to met anyone who doesn't have their own answers. Some have it buried deep but it is there. Some have never thought to question but it is there. Some don't realize how easy it can be. They have just been choosing to have someone else be responsible for giving them permission to know their truth and define them. Which is one way to be.

What would it be like to be able to ask yourself a question and feel okay about what you hear out of the quiet? In being present and open, Wonder is yours.

Love,

Consciousness Defining/ Feeling Okay in Uncertainty

Hello All,

Big shifts happen when we take the time to access our connection to Consciousness. There are many ways to do it and here it only takes a few moments to bring ourselves into alignment with the All. No matter our sense of the size of the shift in the moment, it is all about being in Grace and holding awareness when we are. 

What does the Buddha's smile indicate?

We all need to know that we are OKAY. Many of us don’t feel that and maybe never have. 

It is hard to know you are Okay when you are in States of Uncertainty. Which were present in group. We can allow this to unsettle us and not feel friendly if we are purpose oriented or being driven to declare ourselves. I am____________. Fill in the blank. 

Yet, when might Uncertainty be a good thing? It means that variables are present. Most of us don’t like it. Often it encompasses our sense of time. Like when we take a long time to choose. What if the uncertainty lasts a minute, an hour, a lifetime? Often that is judgment coming from others. Someone else’s sense of time, not ours. 

You have not yet made a choice. Balance and Harmony are shifting perhaps in your old stuff. If we embrace this state can something be gained? Exploring what it means to each of us can create time for us to explore without commitment. Take the time to break down the elements and along the way you are no longer uncertain. Rather like trying out different beds in Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the fairy tale. Too hard, too soft. Ahh. Just right. Better than choosing one and being stuck with that choice if it isn't right. 

In quantum mechanics you learn about the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. It states that at the quantum level you can never simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why not? Because everything in the universe behaves like both a particle and a wave at the same time. I would offer that maybe we are acting out of both states switching from one to the other without awareness. When we are definite about something we are particle inclined. When we in flux we are as wave. Very different states of awareness. Both have place in being and are fundamental. There is no need to judge ourselves about it.

Consciousness is the big picture.Tapping into it helps us navigate the little stuff, your day to day. Each of us is part of the Whole or All. Each of us is affecting the Field of the Collective. You, in your seemingly little matrix of photons sends out ripples across the Sea of Potential. You provide a means for others to experience your sense of self and in that, their own sense of being. And together, depending on your positioning in duality, polarity or scalar references a new outcome is possible for both of you.

Create some time to access the Collective. It is as simple as shifting your awareness from the day to day to the core of All found within the doorway of your heart. Invite yourself to notice something in your awareness that has Uncertainty around it. Allow for information to demonstrate and delight you. Often we know what is important and we are reluctant to follow. So allow for delight to encode itself around what is important and you might be inclined to listen with more openness. It may not feel easy but that is after all the way you have set it up.You might want to notice that too and play with your setup.   

Know, from the center of your sense of Being, that you are OKAY. That the world is OKAY.

Don’t believe it. Know it. Can you feel the difference?  The believing is filled with uncertainty. Knowing is on point. Either is fine, just be aware. Just be OKAY.  Enjoy the Buddha's smile. 

Love,

Consciousness Play/ Beast of Burden?

Hello All Out There!

This last week has been all about Responsibility and Burden. Whether it was in group, in myself, in mine or others’ clients, this is up in our stories. And they seemed to be glued together. When you consider the meanings of each they are different but you can see how they can get fixed that way.  

Responsibility means the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. 2/the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. 3/ the opportunity or ability to act independently and make decisions without authorization. Burden means: a load, especially a heavy one.

Often as children we get set up for these two states to be connected. How often were we asked to look after another sibling or more, younger or older, a parent who wasn’t functioning well, or we just assumed responsibility to feel some sort of connection in the dynamics. We are not judging here. We just so often get assigned roles that never shift. Or maybe we were the one who needed looking after. And, we either felt good about it or we didn’t and maybe still don’t. So much misunderstanding can be present in our family dynamics due to different ages and perspectives. When someone is asked to do more than one can reasonably be expected to do, burden and overwhelm come to mind. In time, if the situation doesn’t change patterns are set in place that will last a lifetime. 

What would it be like to be free of any burden? How much burden is okay to handle and still enjoy life? Does a little go a long way? So often we get into job positions where the theme would seem to be less people, more work as a business policy. Who has to deal with the outcome? Who picks up the slack? Is this a healthy way to live, at work or at home. With love or compassion can come responsibility and then burden as outcome.  In this day and age of single parent families there may seem like a parent has no one to share the burdens of doing it all. The same for single people. Perhaps there are options that one has not yet tapped into. If you are set in the state of being burdened you will not. If you are feeling powerless in your burden you may want to sue someone and penalize who you can for their failure to protect you from yourself and setup. There are a myriad of ways this can all play out in real life. 

How is this affecting you today? What did you notice a response to? Use your consciousness technology skill sets to access the Field of the Heart or Unified Consciousness, the Infinite Sea of Potential. From within this state of Grace maybe explore what if would be like to be responsible without burden. Notice what comes to mind when you focus on responsibility. A person, a job, a condition? What would it be like for it to be different? What are you responsible for? Do you want to be? If it could be easier and less stressful what would that be like? Does Responsibility and Burden have to be associated as you have held them. 

We know that from within this state of Grace we just need to let the information flow and new states will show up. Some of us are the kind who pick up the pieces after others have chosen to drop them. What happens when we understand that those who drop without paying attention usually never pay attention. They may not have the developed skill sets you have to change how you react and respond. Maybe the next time it can be different for both of you. Let the lightness of being be you again and active. 

You are not a beast of burden. 

Love,

janet

Fuzzy Photons Dancing This Week/ Peace as the Norm

Hello all,

What if you felt peace inside you as the norm? What if you felt compassion as your norm? What if the world was in peace and chaos was a way to incorporate change as the norm? There is a lot of stuff in the world that would say that war and mayhem and discord are everywhere and we are all “going to hell in a hand basket". Whether it is money, war, abuse, religion, politics, spirituality, science, or medicine, all have organized energy in them that can challenge peace and compassion in our centers.

All are certainly part of the spectrum of what we call the Game of Life here on planet earth. What do I choose to focus on then? What makes me feel good, as Consciousness, to embrace? Consciousness allows for all and in that we get close to what we call love, if you want to ascribe human feeling to this. In the infinite sea of potential that Consciousness is, Consciousness doesn’t care what we do or go through to have our experiences. It does not judge. As humans, the interface of how Consciousness interacts with itself, we do. We judge all the time. We have emotions that propel us along certain paths. They are the fuel. Consciousness sets a course through discernments before we embody and then we make these our filters and perceptual bias in how we interact with self and others and our worlds. We are the bits and pieces of medium in that sea.

So back to what we as human know to be true, (really and how attached are you?) the war and mayhem and abuse we do to each other. And have for thousands of years. Check to see what reality mindset you are coming from. History reminds us of the patterns we are holding, individually and collectively in our bits and pieces. It is an important way to gain insight into what is happening presently as most of us all live in the past that we create our future from. We can predict the future based on the past if the present doesn’t change anything. You can only change in the present.

We all know you can’t change the past. Really? You can certainly change the past from happening again. One reason we are so taken with the idea of time traveling is often it contains the energy of change. You want to change now or don’t want to change now. We want to change what happened so our now would be different. Time warping and unraveling holds a strong fascination for most. We question if we make a difference in being. Since we each hold a particular viewpoint as Consciousness that ripples out and interacts with other ripples, yes we do. We co-create all the time, validating our established and usually unknown discernments and biases.

If we get out of the limiting reality mindset that nothing ever changes except for getting worse and get out of judging what seems to be happening in the world good or bad, or destructive or or or, change is possible. We are in the infinite sea of potential again, not in the bits and pieces of matter. Matter means something with form/body/energy and also something important. Take away the form/body/energy and the importance and you have potential in motion again.

If we observe ourselves in action as Consciousness, without attachment what do we notice? What are we free to align ourselves with? I see and feel a lot of discord on some levels yes. I also feel love. I feel strength, I feel compassion, I see them as real and demonstrated many places. I see and feel them in myself, for myself. If each of us took the time to look honestly at ourselves and were open to what that means and what is important, agendas hidden and known, and got clear on what is important in new ways would you feel and see differently? Would your world start to reflect that more than not?

There has never been a better time to be open to feeling yourself being from within. If you want real change in the world out there we each must allow for it from within each of us. Use your emotions and thoughts in helpful ways. Pledge to judge yourself and others less, no matter the circumstances, to only enrich the human experience, to empower Consciousness to know delight in itself. Bring into alignment with life in the moment. It is not the length of life. It is the quality of life. It is wonderful when it is both. It is okay when it is not. Remember Consciousness does not care or judge. It allows for all. The particulars are up to each of us.

Love,

Janet  Barrett

RSVP Fuzzy Photons Meeting This Week/ Hoarding, Peeing, Suffering, Politics

Hello All,

 

Please RSVP if you will be joining us in heart centered awareness this week Tuesday evening 7-9 pm  or heart centered awareness with ME field awareness Thursday afternoon 1-3 pm. Both offer a way to deal with our daily lives from a more authentic place of heart and beyond the limits our reasoning minds can come up with. 

So what might hoarding, peeing, suffering and politics have to do with each other? 

FLOW FLOW FLOW FLOW FLOW FLOW 

 

These were our topics in group! We noticed it was all about flow of energies and direction and if, when, where. Hoarding in our houses and de-cluttering, holding onto our circular thoughts about suffering. The signals of the bladder: lack of or too much. We had the body politic, office politics, the country’s politics, global politics.

 

An overnight urinary tract infection might just have been stuck energies about family politics. How to deal with a mother who can never get enough and keeps stacking stuff and what to do about it when it is in your house. How to notice that what was once important is now willing to move on to someone else. Let them discover the treasure you know is possible within it. And then, there is the Suffering. We are told sometimes that suffering is good, which is not helpful usually but can be a pervasive mainstay in our daily lives.  

 

We each individually give meaning to everything in our worlds. We give it to every piece of paper, rock, person etc and often to our self generating thoughts. Someone else may say what is important and you may accept that or not. What may register as valuable to me may not find such favor with you. We look to share common principles of ethics and morals but don’t always. Then when you get into the personal arena you can have real differences. I just walked through a retro furnishing store and was amazed at all the stuff people think is cute and redeemable from the past and then to a new furniture store and how wondered some more.

 

Circular thinking is addictive. I have spent a great deal of energy and time and concern about items in my life and about items that were given to me by well meaning others or inherited or well intended actions that didn’t play out that way. Items ready to go to others or for sale can turn out to have not much value in the bigger world. Then you can see how much money people spend on stuff that to me would have no value or beauty or worth. and really meant something to some one else and a trap to another. Our emotions get a real work out. Then there is the stuff that cost a lot at one time and has since lost value but it is fixed in our minds as worthy still. And it may be. Well built, well designed items were a value in our past that our current times of technology date stuff as obsolescent or old in a few months. 

 

So we go to our heart centered unified field. We get out of our emotional and rational mindsets of attachment and logic and access clarity. Out of the quiet comes the sacred. We can hear what we want to hear, what we are afraid to hear, what we know we will hear and we are okay with it. From out of this source there is Love for who we were in the past, and how we be now. It takes courage to listen and act sometimes. It can challenge us to do the right thing. We have to be willing to listen beneath the emotions of fear, love, compromise and empathy. We then can make a choice of action and feeling and  be clear in our intention. Then we can release the sticky burden and be okay about our choices. Sometimes the best choice is to do nothing different. But this will now come out of understanding and compassion for self and not from fear or denial.  

 

Let go of the judgments when you come up against them. Listen for them. Check the energy still present. It may have cleared. It may be in a flow state again. It came in. It can go out.

Love,

janet

Fuzzy Photons Dance/ Tree of Life Fruit: Joy

Hello All,

Due to weather concerns I am canceling our Tuesday evening group. If it feels comfortable for our ME trained group to meet on Thursday afternoon 1-3pm please RSVP. My awareness is that we are always safe to meet and get home but maybe.... What if it was?

If you are interested in creating and evolving in your awareness as self through art you are invited to join us here on Friday 1-4pm. All those interested in art and how to explore themselves using it as the medium to inner conversations are welcome. Call for more details at 503-285-0708.  Please RSVP to janetb@janetandbeyond.com.

When we access heart and our authentic voices in group you begin to realize how much we run on assumption. Because Heart is all about no story, just bits and pieces of information that have coalesced into patterns. If you realize that it is all just fuzzy photons which are bits of light in arrays of patterns you can start to engage differently and it is fun to see what is possible. Those fuzzy photons are subject to change. Just because a pattern is a pattern doesn't mean it has to stay in that particular pattern. Change how you feel and relate in your story and your life begins to play out in new ways.

I have decided that my inner Tree of Life bears the fruit of Joy. Knowledge is all about the joy that one can reap from Wisdom. The magic of my tree is that it blooms all year round. No particular season. It is always fruitful. And it never runs out. It just may blossom somewhere else on the tree.

It has taken me many years to get to this version of my life. My tree has gone through many incarnations and variations of a theme, the theme being "Life Is". All are now present in this tree that showed up on my fireplace mantle in early December. I created it and we have decided we like it so much we are not yet ready to take it down. It is the symbol for us about our harvest as we experience our winter.

Let this year be about the harvest of Joy. How to live life from that space. I have been through many other stages that Life can embody and this will be my focus this year. What will your year be about? What if you could choose? What if you were free to decide the course of your life? We always are and it's determination happens mainly from our assumptions about the past and future being the same. In this reality mindset nothing is changeable or mutable. More just a wearing down of more of the same. You get old and die.

As I start this year and look at the energy of resolutions and come from a much gentler loving version of myself I am free to engage Joy in new ways. I can experience Joy and still feel the pull of unrequited energies. One doesn't necessarily negate the other. The pull is less though as it comes into reference of Joy.

Maybe take the time to access yours sense of Heart Centered Awareness and your authentic voice. Notice how you relate to the idea of Joy as being real and center in your being. You might find you need to play with your patterns a bit to align with it. Is is in a state of of something that happens to others or not long lasting and see what else is possible. Sense your conditions about it. Is it real? Can it be?

What would you call the fruit that is ripe on your Tree of Life?

Happy 2016!

Love,

janet

Fuzzy Photons Dancing This Week Update/ Feeling Good

Hello all,

As we come to the end of 2015 we can gather Tuesday evening 7-9pm here at my home. We will celebrate being able to access what is really important to each of us, the Field of the Heart and Unified Consciousness. Please consider joining us. If you are new to your awareness of this field that is fine. If you are an old hand at it, great. Skill level is not important. Intent and desire and a willingness to explore in useful ways who you are is what is important. All are welcome.

We will also meet for those who use Matrix Energetics to play in the field. Thursday afternoon 1-3pm New Year's Eve. Great way to ring out the old and ring in the new!!

Please RSVP for either group.

http://thebookinsider.com/shelter-cats/

I wanted to end the year on a feel good note. A friend sent the cat clip the other day and it will do the trick. As this year comes to an end you might access heart and see how and where you are in your world. Is it different from last year?

I feel good. How are you feeling? Much for me has happened that might give reason to feel otherwise. Loss of loved ones, big and small, human and animal are in the scheme of things. Loss of strangers influencing the rest of us are in the scheme of things. Sometimes it feels like the world is going to Hell in a hand basket. And, yet I feel good. The shifting of patterns creates a dance through me. One big tango rippling across the cosmos.

Thanks to all of you for being part of my grand adventure in being. I look forward to 2016.

Love,

janet

Fuzzy Photons Play Update/ A Man of Peace

Hello All,

If you are in the Portland Oregon area: Please RSVP if you will be joining us in heart centered awareness this Tuesday evening. 7-9pm.  The best way to enjoy the holidays is to be present. We do that here.  There will be no ME play group on Thursday Xmas Eve.

One on our friends sent this out this last week. It bears repeating. If we all sit in heart centered awareness and read along, clarity will prevail. Fear and propaganda abound in our media outlets these days. Everything gets tremendously magnified very quickly. We need to pay attention and be responsible in our dealing and sharing with each other.

Everything comes out of a bias of some sort. What is his bias? Love for mankind and this marvelous earth.

Going to inner neutral terrain and letting the authentic voice ring out in each of us makes all the difference. We are better than we think we are. We are better than we demonstrate at times. We are all Consciousness. Not just you or me. All of us. Every human, plant, animal, mineral. Any with or without a religious label.

We are all Consciousness and in different levels of awareness. We are not on a journey to Enlightenment. We are on the journey of Enlightenment now!

We are each Consciousness experiencing, Consciousness evolving out our primordial ooze.

Love and the happiest of holidays to you and yours,

janet

The Celebration Continues!

Hello All,

Please RSVP if you will be joining other Fuzzy Photons in play here in Portland Oregon, in heart centered awareness Tuesday evening 7-9pm. Please RSVP if you will be joining other ME players in play Thursday afternoon 1-3pm. For those of you not local to my area please consider listening to podcast recordings of Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet on our YouTube channel. We access heart centered awareness every show and you can feel it!

There are so many things I could write about! Celebrating my 61st birthday on Friday between Wednesday’s equinox and last night’s eclipse really made it a once in a lifetime event. One that is rippling along in celebration. Did I mention the celebration inside? I know many who don’t too excited about their birthday. And they have reasons for that feeling. Me, I can’t say mine were all that great either but one thing that has been building over the last ten years is a welcoming of not aging, but of wisdom and joy and the fact that I am still alive.

Just because the birthdays then may have not been ideal does not mean they have to be that way now. Right? Instead of being victim to my parents’ ideas and limitations I look to create what I want to experience. We had a wonderful time last night. Most of my friends here have come through my association with ME and an interest in Consciousness. They are people who have chosen to reveal themselves and explore their authentic voices. It was a great vibe. There was none of the surface layer of strangers. Unique individuals all. A plethora of desserts, gifts, our home and backyard, and the ageless fire burning bright in the fire pit under the eclipse. People left because they had to leave. They didn’t want to leave and many stayed late by the fire. Conversations questioned and enlightened and sacred heart was dancing. It was a great night to be alive.

I am appreciative of being alive. There is a sublime smile deep in me. In any relationship you are co creating. In mine, with myself as me and as consciousness I have explored in the spectrum of being consciousness as a human, feeling the I in the We, in the All that is. I have been able to change directions in my life and recognize the power that we each hold inside along the way. I have met beings of all kinds, with all kinds of wisdom, over the years. We may look a certain way but inside.... It is invaluable to know that you can change was seems written in stone. The stone is only illusion, mirages, moments in holographic states of awareness made seemingly real. Perceptions and intentions subject to change and identity.  We are explorers, not just limited to the physical Earth and beyond, but in mind and states of realities.

It is all about being in something and not being it. Not being limited to be some thing by anyone’s definition. Not being limited by one’s own fears. Not being closed down to how opportunity looks, whether it be beggar or prophet. And recognizing the prophet in the beggar and the beggar in the prophet. It is all about recognizing what is valuable to each of us. It is all about being curious. It is all about being questioning. It is all about not being attached or recognizing when we are. It is all about understanding that truth is often only for a moment. It is all about appreciating life in all its’ forms.

Access your sense of heart centered awareness and play with the following. Allow for some new approaches, realities, questions. Have fun!

What would it be like to enjoy your birthday in new ways? What if you could have your metaphorical or real cake and eat it too? What if you had a cake, a pie, a cheesecake, a tart, ice cream and another cake and another pie and another dessert to enjoy and choose from? Would you only choose one or maybe a bit of everything or? Or feel bad about it all? You don’t need a lot of dessert when you are enjoying the whole meal.

We often treat our lives like dessert. Restricted, feel bad for enjoying, tormented pulls of desires and denials. Blood sugar levels come to mind. Maybe some of us are sensitive to the sweetness of life and cant handle it much or easily. Yet sugars make the energy in being physical possible so we need a new sense of balance. That is no way to live.

What would it be like to have dessert for breakfast and just enjoy the pleasure of doing so?

Fuzzy Photons Update/ Sibling Emotions

Hello All,

This week you can join us at play at our Tuesday evening play group of Conscious Conversations with Janet. We access heart centered awareness and allow for our internal dialogues to verbalize. We throw in potential and allow for wonder to happen. Open to all who are looking for clarity in their lives. 7-9pm. Or you can join us in play if you have Matrix Energetics training on Thursday afternoon 1-3pm. Please RSVP for either if you can, and last minute is always welcomed.

Emotions are still dancing around coming up from the deep. Emotions are the flavors and colorations of life that form our biases and subsequent experiences so they are vital. Emotional turmoil is both exciting and challenging at times. What is especially great is now we have ways of dealing with emotions that are useful to changing the stuckness that often binds us up. Consciousness technologies like EFT and ME and others allow for new relationships to these often pesky things.

In group we played this time with how we relate to our siblings and the stuck emotional resonances that might be active. A lot of sister/sister this time. (the week before it was daughter/mother) You throw in older/younger, competition, mom or dad liked you better, i do this, you do that, etc., etc., and you can get a lot of juicy suppressed energies.

Dynamics and quantum entanglement being what they are it doesn't matter if you didn't have a sister or if you aren't female. You tracked these energies when you were young. Maybe at your current age it is wife and her female contacts. Could have been your aunt and mother, mother and her mother, mother and her mother-in-law. They are flavoring how you hold feminine energies in your field. Women would seem to be different from men in tonal and vibrations levels. We deal with things differently.  But we are full of each influences. Just all part of the spectrum to me.

We were able to clear much. Holding in conscious awareness our rapport with each other and feeling the shifts energetically as these life long patterns talk with us is always so rewarding. There is no reason to be stuck or feel stuck in old limiting relationships when you use awareness well. It is just a matter of playing with the patterns within the patterns at times, in a different reality set. If it is just story, just issue, just some thing then the awareness that it is just information following in resonances and patterns is an easy next step. And, we can then maybe not feel we can change circumstances but we can certainly relate to our experiences differently.

What would it be like to have a different sense of yourself in relation to your sister? Or brother? Or Mother? Or Father? Drop into heart centered awareness, out of your thinking, rationalizing, reasoning, validating mind. Go beyond your emotional heart sense, further into the field of Unified Consciousness and observe your emotional terrain. Allow for the information to be observed from the new perspective and see what is present. The field is full of potential as it is not attached to outcome. You are.

 Reality is illusion based. If you allow for the information to express itself free of your limiting concepts of what is, shift can happen. Patterns can change. And you are freer to enjoy your emotions, whatever they may be. Feeling something is not the issue. We all feel stuff. What you do with the feeling is key.      

Fuzzy Photons Update/ Home Schooled

Hello Out There!

Please RSVP if you will be joining me for Conscious Conversations with Janet Tuesday evening 7-9pm. Our conversations come from within heart centered awareness and we go deep! We have really been enjoying the fun. For those new to playing as Consciousness and in the field of potential stuff is happening. For those of you trained in Matrix Energetics you can come play then or on Thursday afternoon 1-3pm. Both are great opportunities if you are wanting a shift in your awareness about some area in your life. 

 We have all been "home schooled" in our emotional terrains. A friend on this mailing list sent the below to me. Lighthearted it may be i thought it provides an excellent way in re-framing statements and emotions that are lingering from vioices we have heard in the past. I remember hearing them or similar statements. I don't have children to repeat them to but i can imagine at times i might have said such things. And they may not have sounded funny or filled us with emotional warm and fuzzies if spoken menacingly.   

We have been noticing in group and elsewhere how emotional energies have been up and out lately and this really struck me as a fun way to look at the old. We are playing with Consciousness here. Let's see about taking the blame and judgment out of what is ringing in our interior spaces often compartmentalized away. Now that we are adults utilizing new perspectives, let's re-encode the voices that are still perhaps locked away. 

 Access your sense of heart centered awareness, the field of Unified Consciousness and see what you become aware of that will dance to a different tune. Take them one at a time and see what you notice. If you were "home schooled" a bit differently in your youth.....

Love,

janet

Fuzzy Photons Update/A state of Hold?

Hello Out There,

Please RSVP if you will be joining our Tuesday evening 7-9pm Fuzzy Photons in Conscious
Conversations with Janet. This group is all about being in heart centered awareness. It is open to all fascinated by life. Or please RSVP if you will be joining our Matrix Energetics play group Thursday afternoon 1-3pm which is open to only those who have attended a ME seminar.

I am in the state of Oregon. I am sitting here typing while on hold for the last ten minutes.  The elaborateness of the automated phone system is not too reassuring after all. There is no personal contact. I have no way to get ahold of who I need to talk with. I was forwarded to this place by a person in the system who was in the state of Missouri, USA. A nice person who wanted to help and sent me into oblivion. I have no idea where I am. The weak monotone Musak playing is not entertaining or reassuring.

Considering that I am on hold with the long distance service of AT&T I think it is cosmically
funny.This service, under the banner of AT&T is apparently not AT&T and requires a call to disconnect.I decide to hang up and call and enter the system again. Somehow my answers to the automated system connected me in a new way, a new state. Now I manage to talk with a real person who is in the state of Texas,USA where she says she knows lots of stuff and that I am automatically dropped from the long distance service that is no longer AT&T. So I can hang up knowing that all is well.

Differences in the state of Missouri and Texas would not seem much. It is in the people inhabiting them where it gets tricky. Different levels of perception and knowledge of how their system works and all the different components.

This would seem to be a great metaphor about consciousness and our internal processes. We have a body, a mind, a connection to what we call some sense of Source, different levels found in the intelligence of the body, and all the ways we inhabit being. Miscommunication can be anywhere in our thinking and there can be limits of knowledge. Shifting to heart centered awareness and our knowing can bring different results.

Knowing is information that comes to us through the right brain that is free of form. Knowledge
is information coming through the left brain as systems designs. Both are important but knowing
is connected to heart centered awareness.

We get stuck all the time. We get put on hold and forgotten within ourselves. We hold awareness
in different areas of our field. Let's think about flow. Where you make an internal call for information and it shows up in some way. When we get stuck it is often as a result of information not flowing somewhere else.

So maybe take some time to access your sense of the field of Unified Consciousness and see what
lines of communication are working and not working. Where do you feel lack of or leaks in
awareness? Can you feel the limits in awareness in some way?  Look at your issue and put it someplace. Now look around and see what catches your eye, your ear, some sense. Allow it to fascinate you and take your attention. Interact with it and just notice. Let it resolve in some way and let go. Know that all is well.

Love,
janet

     

Fuzzy Photon Alert/Judging in Life defines that Life

Hello,

 

Fuzzy Photons notice: Please RSVP if you will be joining us to share in heart centered connection to the field of Unified Consciousness. Great place to play. Happening Tuesday evening 7-9pm here. Or for ME play group Thursday new time for this week 2:30-4:30 pm 

 

Lots of things happened last week. I bet in your life also. Moments of awareness of the need for self care and quiet. Moments of intense emotional reactions and response. Moments of awareness of power, shifting power and how we each influence in our lives. Making choices for others and ourselves is not always easy.

 

The more you occupy being present, life can take a different spin. It is not the same thing over and over. Because using consciousness technologies means being present in new ways. It is not just enough to be able to observe how you are in your life coming up against the boundaries and judgments that entails. It means being open to the potential that is available for shift in the patterns that your life represents. We are each living embodiments of holographic projections of consciousness. Richard Bartlett of Matrix Energetics  would say that all the time in seminars. It took me awhile to get what he meant. I had fun in some altered states of reality where I felt and thought what he was talking about. It wasn’t just words. When you get down to the nitty gritty of the particles that make up life there is not a whole lot there that is solid in the quantum realm. Consciousness would seem to be just some photons of light that move around in patterns, waves of flow. Though, to our limited senses we seem pretty solid.

 

What seems to keep us together in one sense are our judgments. Take the judgments away and stuff starts to happen. It is a skill. We did this the other night on our free conscious conference call and it was really remarkable. Sitting with others in the field of unified consciousness one mentioned how her judgments were getting in the way. I suggested we allow for the judgment to separate out of the issue and you could feel it come out. And right now I can’t track what it was all about. We did it with other issues that people were silently contemplating. You could feel the shift into the deepening of sacred space.

 

Sacred space is full of judgments that have no meaning, no attachment, no connection. And you will find that they are no longer judgments then. Just thoughts that can fall apart. Patterns are changing all the time but we fail to see or notice or register the difference because we are locked into the judgment part of the pattern. That is what holds it to be. Some thing. How many of us hold on to our judgments even in the face of conflicting evidence? How many of us are really attached to maintaining the old as it is safer in some way?

Being willing to let go of our old judgments for new discernments is healthy mental health in action. And we may find we have ease in some areas and not in others. We each have a framework for what our lives are about. Some of us employ the “Once I make up my mind nothing will change it because then I don’t have to rethink this” way of living. It can make it challenging for the rest of us who bump up against this. Mental and emotional health are as precious as physical health. As we let go of the judgments of what life is for each of us even the framework is subject to change. Which is a good thing. Some thing worth hanging on to. Perhaps the only thing worth hanging on to.

 

Take a moment to use your skill sets and access the field of heart. Allow yourself to play. Let an issue come up for you. If you were to release the judgment what could happen? If you were to explore what information becomes available to you what would that be like? If the whole issue was to just disappear as water on a hot surface what would that be like? If something totally unexpected was to become aware to you would you let it? Would you allow yourself to feel good about what the contained information had to offer and would you be okay to feel okay about it? What would that be like?

 

Love,

Fuzzy Photons 5/25/15 Misunderstandings Abound

Hello All,

Please RSVP if you would like to join in heart centered awareness this week Tuesday 7-9pm. Or at our Matrix Energetics play group Thursday 1-3pm. Both are rich opportunities to play in the field of the heart and experience community with others who look to explore life.

Mercury is in retrograde. It does that four times a year. For those of you who pay attention to astrology that means communication can be in uproar. For those of you who don’t pay attention it doesn’t hurt to notice our communications with self and others. Consciousness is organized on many different levels of awareness and considerations. You don’t have to be conscious of what is going on planetary, global or environmental levels to be aware that your friend is not speaking to you and seems a bit miffed and you don’t know why. You seem to be having issue with a contract for unknown reasons. We are all being affected by mostly unconscious energies.

Someone says something. The listener hears what is said and yet can misunderstand, misinterpret, and react. It happens because each of us is oriented individually to what life is about. Language may be shared but the understanding of our intention is not experienced. The joke intended is not appreciated. The sincerity is missed. Stuff happens. No harm is intended but it can be experienced. Unless something intercedes and sometimes even then harm is felt.

Such is life. It happens all the times. History and fiction are filled with misunderstandings. It is bound to happen. Lifetimes can be changed. Wars can occur on all kinds of levels, families and clans hold grudges, and all because miscommunication happened or values collided.

Language is one of our greatest gifts. The meaning of a single word can cover a lot of ground. It also can lead to misunderstanding easily if we are not paying attention. Out of context comments can create issue. People don’t always speak their personal sense of truth, explain what they mean or are maybe not feeling free to do so. They are polite, or nice or don’t feel comfortable sharing.  A simple comment can set up waves of reaction not intended or meant. They can lead to actions that are not recognized until later years. What is flip to someone is catastrophic to another and we never know. Assumptions can run rampant. Reactions are automatic often. Responses are what we are looking for when dealing with others and ourselves. Responses allow for contemplation in between our thoughts. It gives us time to become aware of our triggers on both sides. We are always co creating. Viewpoints can cross over and cascade into each other and harm is felt.

All we can do is learn how to be honest with ourselves and one another. And that can be the most wanted but seemingly the hardest thing to express due to our feelings and desires. Desires to protect someone, something, ourselves. Our own emotions can cloud, confuse, misdirect, and create mayhem. It is important to know when we hurt each other intentionally or unintentionally. We need to also learn to apologize if we have created an unwanted set up. We don’t want to hurt. So why would we want to hurt others? But it can happen.  

Use your skill sets and drop into heart space. Check out how your heart is physically feeling. Check out the surrounding emotional terrain and then slip into the core, essence of Unified Consciousness and play. Any of the physical sense, or emotional terrain can be played with in your casual noticing. Let yourself relax into being okay. Feel the separation of stuff into the wisp of "out there" and just relax some more. 

Let someone come to mind and notice what is present with them and you. If you keep open your emotional heart sensor what do you notice? Something physical or emotional in reaction? If you continue to just view, allow for awareness to be present and what it has to offer you. Be appreciative to the other, grateful for what they are sharing and then decide how you want to respond. If it is your issue act accordingly. If it is theirs keep your heart open. Share from that space with them, what is true to you. Allow yourself to feel the shift and let it go.

We are each responsible for how we show up and not responsible for how others do. But we can make it easier for us to share life in ways that enrich our experiences and sense of joy. 

Love,

janet
