Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Dear friends.. There is so much of quality being written, I hesitate to send this... a manifestation of more words. Something is moving me to hit the send button in lieu of the delete.. perhaps, it is merely my need to hear this in order to anchor something within. As such.. please feel free to skip or unmanifest it <smile>. I am sending this to all three lists as these thoughts are coming as a consequence of the weaving of the finely spun awareness-threads from the gathering of clearing souls at these three campfires. (undoubtedly there are others). The topic of "intention" and "will" has come up in various threads. Some have asked about what to "do" in Kosovo. Should we intend healing Light? Gloria has wisely cautioned that we become aware that we not muck up the energy with our projected ideas. I am suddenly seeing a few dynamics more clearly. Perhaps, this is obvious and it is only my moving more deeply within something. Still it helps to articulate it. First it seems interestingly clear that the essential movement of energy on these lists is of a *different order* than the large-scale boomer spirituality happening outside our doors. The plethora of books and workshops emerging now are so frequently about seeing "intention" as the means to manifestation. Clarify one's intention and poof one's relationship or work or *life calling* suddenly is in harmony. While I see value in this awareness, it nonetheless, is almost the antithesis of what is being noticed here... or better said, here what is noticed is the principle from the inside. As I see this, the gift of those who have *seen* here is to point to an observation of *intention*, as a means, perhaps, to notice where self is manifesting, *but* with the quite different objective of the cessation of this manifestation (and it's dance between poles) and a relaxation into yet another more expanded pole which is understood as the background or merely the ground. So.. here we are, many of us with these two rhythms. We are still operating in the world of manifestation where "doing" appears on our screens as a magnet impetus. Juxtaposed, we have these germinating seeds informing us that it is in... the fertile stillness gleened through abiding in integrated center and through awareness, employing some resistence (or reversal) of the magnetic seduction of doing... that we, in fact, participate in creation (perhaps doing nothing). I had a dream in which I was trying to figure all this out and I woke up with the phrase.. "I should call it non-doing awareness, instead of, or in addition to, non-dual awareness". What I am beginning to grasp (as I struggle with a conditioned part which wants to ferret out what I am supposed to *do* about Kosovo) is that there is a time when action merely emerges as appropriate, quite independant from an idea or a movement. I just wrote this to Gloria.. Right action in this world situation, right now, feels akin to opening the aperture of my heart center and igniting (through alignment of integrity) whatever Light might be carried through me and offering it towards our collective evolution. Perhaps, it is simply providing the energetic fuel for certain healing conditions to prevail. There is an *impulse* to activate a center.. this is different from "doing something". This felt like a significant shift from either passivity or activity. It seems as though it is more akin to a willingness to show up and provide the openness of Being which generates the fuel from which we evolve toward wholeness. In which case intention might be about stepping out of ideas and into surrender in service. I have one further thought which wants to be said. It relates to our interconnectedness. So many of us have been having experiences and doing this work "alone" for a long time. We likely, have felt misunderstood within our social culture. Suddenly the internet connects us and, as was predicted, voila..we are taking deep breathes of in-spiration and recognition. Suddenly we are re-cognizing that we are not alone.. there is a whole worldwide community of kindred anomalies. There is power in this confirmation and amplification of our piece of the awareness puzzle. So, I ask myself, what would happen if suddenly the internet, through some damage to the infrastructure, became unavailable. I would like to think that the resonance of those who have passed through the birth canal and the community of cells I am here encountering who join me as we birth this Being, have irrevocably broken open the narrow shell I thought that I had to live within and that I will reside where I Am. I thank you all for both the glue that binds and the stimulus to release the binding. And I thank anyone who has wadded through these thoughts, for your perseverance and love. with abiding Love, Christiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 1999 Report Share Posted March 30, 1999 Christiana, From Gloria: Wow, how beautifully put and so very clear. This is indeed what is taking place. There is a point in consciousness where the individual learns he/she is the creator and can pretty much do and manifest whatever it is he/she wants and desires. This we see a lot of in America with Prosperity Consciousness, think, believe and create. It is one stage. Then comes the realiztion this is not fulfillment at all, in fact, it is like living in a desire factory. Everything is wanted but nothing brings contentment. Then the individual is pushed to the next step on the ladder. This is the one when the realization comes in...not my will but your will be done. This changes everything. What use to be created now works in the opposite way, instead of continuing the desire, create, manifest cycle, the new awareness says...Now, undo what you have created. Detach and let it all go. So to the extent that the creating was manifested, it is time to undo this process and simply surrender everything to God. This surrendering literally applies to everything. Does it mean it disappears? Not necessarily, but it changes to the extreme. So we see Kosavo, what the creator self would do is determine what is needed and then approach the subject with that mastery of thinking and creating. Which was the small I at work. Now it is different, while the heart is filled with love for God and all of creation, one no longer works from I think, I want, I feel. It is different isn't it? Now, we are coming from a very different place...where two or more are gathered in my name, there I Am. This is the plane of knowing, and it is where your writing comes in..." the fertile stillness gleened through > abiding in integrated center and through awareness, employing some > resistence (or reversal) of the magnetic seduction of doing... that we, > in fact, participate in creation (perhaps doing nothing)." This nothing is called... action through non-action. It is the action we are called to because it is no longer you doing anything. It is the True Self. Christiana P.
