Consciousness and the Last Few Days of Resistance

On the last few days of 2016 I was noticing how Resistance was showing up to play with in clients, group and always, in myself. By its very nature it is hard to deal with or engage.

It's ability to dictate and confound us can be felt in many ways. Some might include the defiant child. It can be the stubborn spot on our soul. It can reveal itself in the non changing state of some issue.

How to be neutral to it and work with it requires respecting it just like anything else we might be dealing with. It may have a personality, truculent, pouty, defiant, spit in your face attitude and that is okay. It was set in motion for some reason and is one of many ways to explore Consciousness and Life. That is acceptance.

But I am witnessing where the self awareness within this dynamic is supposed to feel bad. We are often in judgment and not in acceptance of how it serves, only how it controls. And then, like fear, we are reacting to the fear of the fear, not the issues. We then are reacting to the resistance of the Resistance and not the protective nature gone wild.

Our challenge then is when it is in the way and forgotten it's role to play in our lives. Checks and Balances are important to have in system designs. The egotistical nature that Resistance can take on is all about resisting for the sake of resisting and that, like fear, can be compromising.

Being able to say no, I don't want to, are part of the developing self. But when they are attached to safety not being kept it can take a life on of its own. The child that it can attach to won't have vision or answers beyond what it wants in the moment. It will suck all the energy out when that energy can be used in other ways.

We did not to try and control our resistance but to notice what was involved in non threatening ways. The words in group that came up were conundrum, paradox, catch 22. We got lots of answers and awareness of words once spoken leading to limiting beliefs and resultant behaviors. Some not accessed before. The resistance had been that strong for several years in creating blanks in memory.

It had become something to be proud of in many ways. Often it is associated with The Resistance that happens in wars, or in taking down governments, where the subversive nature is embraced for change. If you get caught you can be labeled rebel, get tortured and killed and die a horrible, honorable death. How nice. Or not.

The body is a system and in this one cancer is running rampant. Sugar and it's taste was part of the resistance at play and blood sugar levels feeding the cancers are keeping proper and appropriate treatment at a distance. Not useful. The need and want to have all the sweet our defiant child wants is killing. The cancer is resistant to change.

Answers for this tough situation and behaviors acting out is go to Heart Centered Awareness, the Field of Unified Consciousness. Only there are the answers for each individual. We found that it wasn't about the cancer as killer but as vehicle for change. A way to wake up and quit resisting. We are so creative.

In what area of your life does Resistance play in? What is the nature of your resistance? How does it serve? What is it holding hostage?

Realities shifted. The bravery, courage and resolution we each have inside to accept who we are from within love of self and being and play in our sharing is awesome. Acknowledging that we are each representing some facet of Consciousness for each other gives us a way to notice and introduce patterns/conversations we hold inside.

We don't fix or save or even help. Our context reality is that we provide sharing of awareness. Resistance has no interest in being helped often. Or it has a habit of being disappointed. So, it thinks it is fine' thank you! Helping actually can make it more reactive. Instead we provide more awareness from a non judgemental state which is entertaining and non threatening and allows for that child to move off it's axis and become something new.

Great way to finish off a year. Great way to begin another.

Consciousness and Laughing Out 2016

Great use of Concrete

Many might be happy to see the end of 2016. And, then again many may have concerns about 2017. There is uncertainty presently rippling out. The unknown can be a powerful mechanism for fear. I know many who would rather hurt than change or are in states of shock and doomsday. The rise and fall of different systems of beliefs can be overwhelming.

As Consciousness, our awareness is that whatever comes our way, we are okay. There is no time, no space, no attachment other than exploring. Maybe there are some guidelines I can share to remind that we each are Consciousness at play in our daily lives.

I say guidelines as I have come to appreciate that any time I set something up as a rule I am limiting potential. May not be my intention but it serves that way. Limits can be wonderful things until they are not and they are now obstructions to growth and to feeling good. Like in family dynamics when the first son is always a (fill in the blank.) and the first son doesn't want to be the....... Many can be very attached to their traditions of thinking, of feeling. We can be doing this in family, science, school, any arena that humans are involved in.

We all want to feel good and safe and loved. We don't have to though. Emotions can direct our energies along paths that divert our wants. The world is full of people who feel other than good, safe and loved. We are willing to kill, to move, to give in order to feel good, safe and loved. Survival is compromised. We can be very compromised about feeling good and not be aware of our mindsets at play.

As Consciousness, me as human is laughing a lot lately. In all the horror out there what is going on? How can I be laughing at tragedy? I realized that it was transcendent laughter. I am processing all this stuff we have stirred up and using it as the fuel of evolution leaping to a new state. In group we are certainly allowing ourselves to recognize our personal power and serving the collective in this way. We each are in spheres of influence in our families and friends and aquaintances, some shared, that we are tracking in some way and doing our best to let it be a noticing and transcending it.

I usually associate transcending with a new state specific. Like transcending anger into joy. But now I am not directing or holding it in the relationship. I am removing the state of duality, polarity and allowing for something different like scalar dynamics. Tesla was all about free energy and I think we are generating it. We are making potential available if we do our work well.

We each are important and hold that love of self is powerful, love as part of the bigger collective is powerful and ours to extend. We don't have to do anything. We just have to allow for our love to not be held back. It will ripple out across the cosmos, bounce around and interact with whatever it bounces into and come back with different information to play with.

Concrete is powerful and so solid. With only a few ingredients and some water it can go from a powder to a hard immovable form. Rules and our patterns of thoughts which guide our behaviors can be like concrete. It takes a special tool to break it up and intention when it is no longer serving. How concrete have you become?

Access heart centered awareness and let it become dust. Easy, simple and it feels good.

Let us celebrate the potential not yet formed in 2017. Let us honor those who have passed into Consciousness free of form in 2016 and embody compassion, kindness, respect and fairness into our guidelines of being present.

See you next year!

Consciousness and SELF LOVE FLOURISHES HERE

Our journey from within a reality of Self Love can take some time to acclimate to. When one's habit has been to Doubt, it has settled into our bones. It has become part of our sense of stability in the real world. It might take a bit to bring us back to this new centering sense of being.

And, that is fine. It is okay. We come to realize how incorporated our judgments prevail and flourish.

Let us look at Self Love like a new growth maybe. A seed, then a seedling, a tiny sprout shooting up out of the soil and it will take the harmony of the earth and surrounding conditions of water, sun, rain, and storm to sustain our seedling in its development and growth into something living.

OR

We can just shift it to the NOW reality of SELF LOVE FLOURISHES HERE. There is nothing to process, just accept that things are different and can be that because I SAY IT IS SO. Which is really about our sense of empowerment. Many of us have no comfort or helpful, useful training with standing up for ourselves, and  maybe more importantly, with ourselves. It is habituated to think of our own wishes, desires and Right to Be as Less Than. Someone has more power to choose who and how we now are and long after they may be gone they have left their mark.

Self Love. Who and how we define ourselves. IF there are no rights, no wrongs, no judgments from others that have become our rules, what else is possible? If we shift judgments to guidelines does that free us up more?

I say it this way as I am about respecting myself as Consciousness experiencing life as me. Since Consciousness was setting itself to experience life in my form it set my perceptual biases as basis to explore. This is the best framework for me to express in this current embodiment. If, I, for just a moment can get out of my own *^^##@# way and see the wonder I am in action, is letting go of the blame that I hold at core for showing up this way, possible?

We need to get over blaming Consciousness, ourselves and all those others out there over the years and generations and lifetimes for us showing up as we presently do. Life feels like a grand experiment of experience. Myself, I don't think Consciousness knows. It only is. It allows for all.

We seem to observe that there are some rules in life as we hold suns, planets and solar systems as systems. Rules come with systems awareness. Our challenge is that we don't know when rules apply or not as we are limited by our ways of noticing them. And that noticing that come over what we consider time, like centuries, may change along the way as Consciousness expands into forms. We go through evolutionary changes, awareness in a myriad of ways of embodiment on this earth. No Ice Age currently present though we may be on our way to creating one again sooner than later. That is how powerful we have become as Consciousness being.

So. SELF LOVE FLOURISHES HERE may come with training wheels. There is no need to be hard on ourselves unless you feel that is SELF LOVE. I own that I can be lazy, indifferent at times to my own setup and suffering. Change requires I do something. and I don't want to. Or need to. Etc. etc. etc..

And yet, from within Heart Centered Awareness,

SELF LOVE FLOURISHES HERE

Consciousness and the Miracles of Self Love

Self Love Energy

We call things or events miracles when something happens unexpected beyond the limits of our human sense of sight and mind sets. In Consciousness there are no limits. In the Infinite Sea of Potential all is not yet. Life can reflect the wonder available and demonstrate regularly miracles when you engage as Consciousness.

Coming to group is an act of Self Love as is any practice of meditation, reflection, or acting compassionately with others. It is chocolate for the Soul! For we are all One. As Consciousness, Heart Centered Awareness, the boundaries disappear.

Tuesday night we gathered here. One, who we had not seen for a couple of months, was dealing with eviction court the next morning so she came to group for some support. Circumstances of health and events had compromised her paying her rent for the last several months. She didn't know what to do or how to move forward. New places were not coming through to move into. When we looked we could see the new place right in front of her, coming from behind her, in her past. She could not see it.

When she does show up for group remarkable things happen for her every time. She knows it. She has trouble with trusting herself to be in a state of Heart on her own. We provide a clear mirror and maybe a needed kick in the butt.

Like many of us.

Another attendee present was looking for help with renting her newly converted studio apartment to the right person. Wanting to help others who need help, she was offering a lowered rent that would not help take care of her own needs but come at cost. This apt was supposed to insure her own future being cared for. Not at this rate. She needed someone who could pay a reasonable rent and be respectful of her and what she was offering.

Together they perfectly represented the sides of renting property. How could we help each other?

What the evening turned out for all of us was about Self Love. Lack of, compromise of, the conditions we associate with Love, or missing completely. What was interesting was when we were within Heart Centered Awareness no one felt the need to move out of our current reality to another reality, a maybe parallel self. Self Love was not to be found in another reality. It was here. What a surprise for some.

Each of us was already in the reality of Self Love! It is all about what we allow ourselves to know of Self Love. They just knew that they didn't feel it. Until they became aware that it was their individual lack awareness of something already present. How simple. They just weren't recognizing that, as Consciousness, we are Self Love among the state of Love.

For one, he was not aware that he was pretty armored with his family who he was hurt by, until we felt the cracking of his heart, like lava opening up the earth and creating new land. It was intense to feel.

Tears were flowing, the stored up energies of the past still active. The thoughts of how she needed to apologize to her landlord for her dishonoring of him and their agreement. Our support for that. The thoughts for all of us of how family and their transgressions against us and the isolations caused. Any kind of pain,whether emotional, physical, mental, psychic or spiritual is isolating.

We can stay feeling the same, or, find the energies encapsulated and transcend them into something much more enriching. So much was present and by group's end a lot was in shift. We were exhausted and yet all right, knowing that change was being activated.

Thursday morning our gal emailed me. In gratitude she wrote. The judge dropped the case, the landlord forgave her the past rents, asked only for this months' and gave her until mid January to move out. And, a friend, from her past showed up out of the blue and offered to help her out. How miraculous is that!

On Saturday I received an email from our gal with the apt to rent. She rewrote her ad, a couple applied and she loved them. She wanted a older woman, no pets. What she got was a couple in love, in their thirties. He will be gone 6 months at a time for school, she wants to enjoy the community garden, and has a cat. She works with battered women. And, they can pay the raised rent. They love the place. Our gal's question was could she trust that it could be that easy?

Self Love. What is your awareness of it? Maybe allow for a miracle or two for yourself by recognizing who you are as human, with all the delights and self defining perspectives that we each can hold and then move to Grace and recognize, as Consciousness, that there is nothing to forgive or forget, only new choices to embrace.

Happy Holidays!

Consciousness and the Gauze of Integrity

The last week has been filled with awareness about Integrity. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles or the state of being whole and undivided. My moral principles are to offer compassion, kindness and respect to myself and others. You may have something else that rings you chimes. 

I also use integrity as being able to hold a matrix, form, which allows for stuff to pass through without loss to the matrix. This gets kind of tricky sometimes with being empathic or with states of rapport with others.

But for most of us it is probably meant in the sense of being out of congruency between heart and mind. How often have circumstances forced individuals and groups to take a stand that is at odds with personal beliefs? How often have we compromised over the generations inviting death, destruction and a myriad of feelings that didn't feel good then and still do not years later? A choice made out of ignorance or deliberately to harm another and rationalized it as okay. Like going to war of some sort. What does being in integrity mean as Consciousness in action? How does the Self respond?

It can be about being questioned or not recognized for our integrity. It can be between genders and roles people play to get along with each other. We lie often to protect ourselves and others. We do it all the time and across the boundaries of time and space. And, no matter the reasons, it carries forward to the next generations.

In group and in personal levels we are noticing that these wounds have have opened up. Whether the influences are coming from the distance past or out of our own lives integrity is often missing or out of alignment. We want to judge the outcomes, the decisions, the results of behavior and we can not. We can only appreciate that sometimes choices are made that leave one feeling less than or dead and they were the only choices given to respond to. It can happen generation after generation and become a collective dynamic that we each are in relationship to. Those with a sense of it are swimming in it right now.

In being present we can feel the misalignment as ambivalence, boredom, pain of some sort or confusion, denial and I am sure in other ways. It can be held on physical, mental, emotional, psychic, psychological or spiritual levels or a combo of more than one. It can be felt as bias in regards to others, self, business, culturally.

What can help heal these issues of splitting and separateness? What can strengthen and reinforce and help without armoring or solidness? My solution was a roll of gauze. When I was a child Wonder Woman was my heroine. She, with her bullet deflecting bracelets and her Lasso of Truth were powerful tools to have. In accessing  Heart Centered Awareness, a roll of gauze, the Gauze of Integrity showed up as my tool and I have been using it this week. On whatever was showing up in group and for myself.

The mesh of the gauze is fine enough to strengthen and reinforce but not add bulk or weight or solid as a cast or belt or armor would do. Dipped in Integrity it soaks in and permeates to the layer of wound and resolves and heals. You don't have to know the stories and details of the wound if they are not present.

Just holding awareness is often all you need. and you may need many layers of gauze, as many layers as the wound is present in to help the whole. I used it on my two narrowed arteries in my heart and then wrapped my whole heart and the pericardium and any other place of less than that I felt along the way. Notice I didn't use the word weakness, just places of less than.

This is the right time to resolve and restore and bring into new alignment issues of displacement that are not necessarily ours and our own that are affecting our fields of references. Take time to sit, access HCA for yourself and notice what comes to mind that could use an new alignment within. Wrap it up and see what happens. Enjoy your Gauze of Integrity and see what shows up new and fresh and vital inside as a result. Notice how it dissolves into the matrix.

The Tree of Life Bears Fruit- Joy

Hello All,

The following is an updated replay from earlier this year.

Last year in December, I constructed a Tree of Life over my mantle to enjoy. We decided to keep it up for a whole year as we enjoy our Consciousness groups under it.  It has been bearing fruit for a year. Joy. Stuff is showing up at home and in group, in old patterns, ready to have the Joy plucked and enjoyed.

Please access heart centered awareness before you read the following. It is not intended to be anything other than an opportunity to examine and explore something we all know. It is something present in most religious beliefs and doctrines in different ways and in different guises. From within your connection to Consciousness allow yourself to relax and just notice information forming and undoing. The answers for this Universe and our earth and the people residing upon it are inside you.  

Many of us know Suffering. Which is really about a energetic pattern that is about suffering. Could be a pattern about anything. But some of us know suffering intimately. There are so many ways to suffer, about anything. Most all of us cause it at some point in dealing with others and ourselves accidentally or intentionally. We have all fallen victim to it in some way. Sometimes we don't recognize it as such anymore except as the constant ache. And maybe you have a lot of aches that don't go away anymore.

What would it be like to be neutral to suffering? Though it may be hard to hear, there is nothing wrong with suffering. A little goes a long way. It is as old as mankind and probably before. It is a powerful tool for change and direction. What would it be like to not to know suffering, to know of suffering, or to experience suffering? It is powerful. It allows for sympathy, empathy and compassion to develop. But past making its' acquaintance do we need to know it as a lifestyle? Where did we discern that it was okay to know and then lose the distinctions of a little, into alot, into always?

We think, we feel, we think and feel at the same time. How we think can determine how we feel. How does it feel to suffer physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, psychically? Why do we do it, maybe need it, or crave it, or enjoy it? Or do we? Is suffering just a habit or an unwanted or unintended outcome? What are the conditions that it is okay or worth it? Do we have to take the good with the bad? It has to be get worse before it gets better? It can hurt so bad and feel so good. Misery loves company. We allow it to be okay to be uncomfortable with these thoughts. We can live with these assumptions in the Morphic field of Suffering at times. Is it any different when it is physical or emotional or mental or psychic? It can be a matter of sensitivity and insensitivity. How many times do we accept pain and suffering as outcome because, why? Somebody told you that you had to or could expect to?

Consciousness is at play always. Suffering is something humans do. How we bring our human interactions and feelings into the realm of Consciousness and elevate and alleviate the suffering is what we strive for. It can be done. We do it daily as our practice of being. We take our human concerns into the Field of the Heart, the collective consciousness into the sacred we hold within. Here the suffering and issues start to break down into the pieces of information swimming in the sea of potential. Here answers asked for will rise up. If you don't have to rationalize, reason, or excuse, our mind states of logic are free to relax. It is deep where our answers lie.

Do you need to suffer? What would it be like to choose something different? From within your center, notice. Does someone come to mind or does a particular issue or memory show up? Just allow yourself to ask and see what value suffering may have in your scheme of things. Only then can it be different, back into the sea of potential and something new to experience.

What would it be like to pluck the ripened fruit of your Tree of Life and enjoy and marvel and joyously taste the juice of Joy?

Consciousness and Listening

You create your own reality and you do so because the thoughts that you are thinking cause you to emanate a vibrational frequency that the Law of Attraction is constantly responding to. And so, in all waking moments, you are creating your own point of attraction and everything that you experience is coming to you because of your vibrational emanation and the response of Law of Attraction to that vibration. It is as if you are standing on a sort of spinning vibrational disc and only things of the same vibration can join you on your disc. Your disc changes depending upon the thoughts that you are thinking and the emotions that you are feeling. ---Abraham Excerpted from: Co-creating at Its Best on November 13, 2013 I notice that states of realities come with all kinds of energies within them. Everything as Consciousness, is a spectrum so when we feel, want or think something it will also include the opposite, duality, and the range, the polarity, as dynamics which are part of the field. Focusing on a certain part of the field will tune to a certain part of the resonance and we look to be neutral to all else is in the field.  It will also include the scalar dynamic of where the point of awareness is not.  What are you thinking? Listen to your self talk. It is that constant silent conversation that is running whether you are by yourself or with others. Pay attention. This is Self. What is the quality of the voice, what is the feeling to be found? Do you always speak your feelings and or truth or do you keep it silent in order to not be found challenging either others or yourself? All around us are voices. We mirror them, we reject them, we have a hard time tuning them out. Are they yours, your own thoughts? We each control the knob. Are they reflections of social media, radio, print and television chatter? What are you listening to, this constant bombardment of voices and tones, and words? Words that inflame, words that provoke, words that soothe, words that validate the highest and lowest within each of us. All kinds of words, all kinds of viewpoints.  Which do you choose to resonate and listen to? Which words stir us to take action? Which words create peace and harmony, which words foster unrest and discontent?  How do we love someone who voices a viewpoint opposite of ours? Everyone has a right to their viewpoint and will defend it. If we hold them as only right or wrong then we can get stuck.  This time right now is about listening. And listening and feeling what is underneath the words. What is motivating from beneath the language? Most of us are pretty unaware of our beliefs, programming and emotions that generate our words. We don't really hear ourselves when we talk, when we listen.  The most important words for all of us that I hear are DO NO HARM. and it is the DO NO HARM that comes from the state of Potential that is Heart Centered Awareness. This is how I choose to express myself as Consciousness as Janet. How do you choose to express?   DO NO HARM TO OTHERS, DO NO HARM TO THE PLANET, DO NO HARM TO SELF. VIEW OTHERS AS SELF, EQUAL AND AS WORTHY. THERE IS NO OTHERS, THERE IS ONLY THE ONE. PEOPLE BEFORE BUSINESS. BUSINESS SERVES PEOPLE NOT PEOPLE SERVE BUSINESS. WASTE NOT. ALLOW FOR EBB AND FLOW IN WHATEVER IT MAY BE.  These are the words that I can hear from within Heart Centered Awareness. What do you hear?  The Universe will honor each of our vibrations no matter what they might be.  TREAT ME AS I TREAT YOU is active always and is something we need to listen for and pay attention to. Every religion has its' take on the Golden Rule.  It is time for the majority of us to shake off our shock and apathy and discontent and realign from within.  Go to Heart Centered Awareness and see what you hear, your authentic voice.   These are the points of focus that I, as Consciousness, choose to align. That is what I, as Self choose to follow.  Janet Barrett Journeys Into Enlightenment www.janetandbeyond.com janetb@janetandbeyond.com
