I Could Get Used to This…

Gaia

I had one of those exceptional dreams a while ago – the kind that when you “wake up” you realize that the dream was a real as where you are now.
 ::
And hearing the view recently that the dream quality of experience is how emotions manifest into a dimension of their own (some call it the 4th dimension) – I let my senses linger with this particular dream vision/experience a few times during the day so as to let the quality solidify itself more deeply into the cells of my psycho-somatic organism.

Our Connection with Mother Nature

Telepathy — Our New Paradigm Communication

Re-posted from newearthparadigm.wordpress.com

Anna Breytenbach, a very talented animal communicator, is remarkable in several aspects. Of course it is very wonderful to be able to communicate with our animal companions on this planet so as to be better able to meet our common challenges or for us to assist animals in human environments that are in distress. I see the great significance of this kind of direct connection with the animal world also, as Anna and others in the video mention, in that more and more humans are beginning to acknowledge that the Natural world is actually our home. I know that I am feeling greatly nourished on the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual levels of my being since my direct, visceral connection to Nature began to intensify over the course of the last year. I am sure you will enjoy this video!

Welcome to New Earth Heartbeat

Lion banner

Dear Friends,

Since July of 2012 when I created this blog as Heartflow,  I shared what the Heart is showing me. Now, in January 2014, this blog has morphed into New Earth Heartbeat as I feel the vision of our Heart coming down onto ground zero with the creation of the New Earth Project.

New Earth Heartbeat is about what I call “Living New Earth”. By that I mean that each of us is able right now to live just the way we want to and just the way we imagine life is in New Earth. This has to do with our thoughts in every moment. It means asking myself if this thought is really the thought I want to have? This also has to do with my attitude towards the things and beings in my surroundings.

 “If we’re a free person, we aren’t conditioned by the things around us. We just smile to them and we make our path. Our surroundings are like a mirror. If we smile, the mirror smiles. If we cry, the mirror cries. If we’re angry, then the situation becomes angry. But even if the situation looks angry, if we are able to smile, then the surroundings smile with us. So the surroundings are coming from our mind.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Nothing to Do, Nowhere to Go, p. 176

I ask myself if this is the way I want to be toward this person, or animal, or plant? Do I want to be patient with the objects in my life or impatient and irritated? Do I allow my anger to flare up at the car that swerves into my lane on the road, or do I have the inner strength to smile in that moment, and see how that changes things?

How about my relation to my body? Am I caring and considerate of its present condition, treating it like a cherished friend? Or do I “use” it without a sense of love and caring?

And so the list goes on for pages if we want. The new aspect of our life in 2014 as I see it is that each of us is now ready to live our lives according to our own personal sense of excellence. We are ready to give up the compromises that we have let ourselves in on in respect to our own integrity. We are no longer willing to live in a way that compromises our integrity with what we know we can do.

We can be aware every moment of the day, and even in the night. Although we may still go unconscious sometimes, but we know that day by day our practice is paying off. We know this and now we are ready to live this knowledge. It is up to each of us to create New Earth right now by living it.

In New Earth Heartbeat I will post what inspires and supports me in this endeavor. I hope you will enjoy these posts and will join in with your comments about how you live New Earth in your own, unique way. Wishing us all a very fulfilling and exciting New Year 2014!

Nature

Nature

Unfolding of hidden treasures while inwardly breath quakes

This untold sensation of revelation finer than the firing of synapses, finest spray of sparks illuminating being

My inner human tongue forms language like the earthworm the soil

I break open and speak the sounds of the cosmos to itself, standing face to face with a friend, a fellow worm

GT-14-Temperance

From a Tarot reading last weekend:

Temperance: “She has learned to temper her life in such a way that she maintains and expresses her passion perfectly. By learning to do this, she is living her life as fully as possible with her internal beliefs in perfect harmony with her external actions.”

How to Deal with Information Overload Today

Information

Every time I open up my laptop I am confronted with the Universal Brain (the Internet). In order to not become a victim of this amazing new power of humanity I find it necessary to be very clear about my relationship to “information” and knowledge in general.

My experience with “knowledge” and “information” is maybe a central thread throughout my life, so I’ll try to keep it concise:

“If YOU don’t know it, you don’t KNOW it” (Bertolt Brecht) This one kind of sums it up for me after much trial and error throughout the decades (has it been that long? OMG!) It illustrates my present understanding that what I call “I know” must be something rooted in my own direct experience. This leads to the unity of the lessons that Life presents me with and what I know, because what I know and what I “need” to know has to do with living my life – there must be a connection to my “here and now”.

So I now have a program installed in my inner software that always asks:

Is this information something that will affect and change the way I live? the way I meet people? the way I see myself?

If there are changes, for example, to the physical environment I live in, is there some way for me to change the way I live in order to be better aligned with those changes?

Does this information call me to become active in some way in order affect change in that environment, in the world?

Does that information “form” me in some way here and now in what I think, feel and do?

Let’s take the following scenario: if a huge meteor is bearing down on this planet headed right for my town and total destruction is certain (according to that information), how will that change me here and now? Will I suddenly be more appreciative of all that is my life right now? Will I do all I can do to help those around me in this situation? Does that alarming information move me to live with a heightened awareness and appreciation for this one moment of life right now?Those are the questions I ask myself, and they are questions I ask myself also when I read about increased solar activity, global warming, increased toxicity in our food etc.

They have led me to the understanding that I am a particle of this one Life and as that I am destined to serve Life in whatever way is possible for me. That is where I, personally, put a lot of my inner focus: what is possible for me?  This includes all that you and I and the others here know: “put on your own oxygen mask before you try to help others” and all that that entails in our individual lives so that we are all that we can be in order to be able to give all that we can give using our full potential.

Information Central

I

My basic attitude in this time of engineered “over-information”, which I see as being designed to make people fearful and insecure, is LESS IS MORE. The less details I take in about pending disasters, terrorists and rapists behind every door, scams and tricksters wanting my money etc. the more I will be able to center myself on what is important in the above sense. I stay informed by reading the main headlines on a couple of Internet news site and only (really ONLY) reading the whole report if my software filter (see above) recommends it (NO TV – NO NEWSPAPERS – except occasionally our small town local sheet). I highly recommend training yourself to NOT REACT to the “curiosity trigger” as it is one of the main ways that we are influenced to adhere to the consensus mass consciousness.

Behind all of the above statements, however, is the fact that only since I have devoted myself to the inquiry as to who or what I really am and a realization of that has started to settle in to my nervous system, am I more settled in general and less susceptible to the various “emergencies” that supposedly loom on the ever closer coming horizon. This realization centers around the statement that all I can really know is “I am”. All else is basically conjecture. Is death the end of it all or is there reincarnation? Is karma an absolute fact or is it dependent on my belief in it? Is our reality “out there” or all “in my mind”? Can I effect change by manipulating circumstances in my environment or only through inner shifts in consciousness, or in a measured combination of both?

Following the only real fact that I know through my direct experience (I am) has led me to discoveries as to how the inner and the outer dance together and as to how I can best hear the Dance Master’s cues as to how I am to perform in this magnificent, miraculous, sometimes seemingly horrific scenario we call Life.
