Life: Boiled or Scrambled?

Life: Boiled or Scrambled?

It is possible to engage in an emotional response when presented with a boiled egg for breakfast.

We can wish it was a poached egg, and get sad or angry about it.

We can spin off into emotional response over the fact that we prefer to walk the dog before breakfast and the timing is all wrong for this.

We can be afraid that it is not correctly cooked inside, and speculate all sorts of negative possibilities, (without ever looking inside), imagining it sloppy a...

Solitude and Growth

Solitude and Growth

There is a quote that shows up on my FaceBook feed with some regularity. It is from Christine Caine and it says “Sometimes when you're in a dark place you think you've been buried, but you've actually been planted.”

We are into the fifth month of isolation and distancing. The virus is killing thousands of people around the globe, and infecting millions for whom life will never be the same.

For those of us with great privilege, this has been a time of withdrawal and qui...

Expansion

Not visible from Canada was a solar eclipse on June 21st, a lunar eclipses on 5 June. Another is due on 5 July, and if the weather cooperates, it should be visible in the Americas except for the far North, most of Africa, and SouthWestern Europe, including the UK.

For anyone who has watched an eclipse, there are fascinating and powerful moment when first the darkness is total as the shadow blinks out the light of the sun or the reflected light of the moon.

Like sudden silence after...

What is Normal?

What is Normal?

As people are navigating the changes wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic everyone is experiencing change.

Although there is talk about “returning to normal” very few aspects of our society are able to regress to the form they held in January. The phrase “New Normal” is bandied about as well, suggesting that equilibrium will be easily found, and a variation on Normal will slide comfortably into place.

A quote by Dave Hollis has appeared on my screen from vari...

Know Thyself

Know Thyself

Aristotle is credited with saying that “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” and as thousands of us are thrust into unfamiliar situations in order to keep ourselves and our communities safe from the Covid-19 virus, we have an unprecedented opportunity to focus on knowing ourselves.

We can use this time to move towards understand our responses and reactions in a deeper and more focussed way than has ever been possible in our lives before.

Looking Forward

After a thousand years – 1000 to 1999 -- of moving slowly toward full understanding of One energy, we now have twenty years experience with the Two being front and centre.

Nothing cataclysmic happens in a single moment, there is slow growth and energetic overlap so that the human mind can adapt to the transitions. Since 2010, we have benefitted from a One in the name of each year. The children born in this time will be able to relate to the older generation, and amo...

Release

Release.

There is lots of talk about ‘letting go’ at this time of year.

In the Northern autumn, the leaves of deciduous trees are changing colour and falling. This is not only beautiful, it is an easy illustration of setting something free.

Here in the west, most people live surrounded by an accumulation of things. We have things we think we need, and things we have been told that we need.

We even have things we aspire to need: we have books we will never read, and smal...

nb pics butler and mansion and scale

The experience of Human Life, or what Gary Zukav calls the Earth school, is different for each of us.

He writes: “Emotions are classes in the Earth school. Some classes are about fear, and some are about love. The Universe is your tutor, and your classroom is your life. The main course in the Earth school, Authentic Power, is the same for everyone, but different students need different courses in order to complete it.”

Silly Hats Make Life Better

Reconnect with your Natural Creativity
Young children do not shy away from craft tables, saying they are not creative. Adults would be well served by taking a chance to make something that never existed before: something silly. A Silly Hat is certainly not a perfect creation. It has no specifications to meet, no measurements, no need for symmetry or meaning.

Presented with a table of boring hats and a collection of sequins, ribbons, flowers and assorted other ...

Celebrate Depth

Celebrate Depth

My childhood in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s was full of sayings and proverbs and quotes “as my grandmother used to say”.

    Repeated themes ran through them: lessons that children were expected to absorb in order to become useful cogs in society's wheel.
    I have been thinking, recently, about some of these: don't judge a book by its cover; beauty is only skin deep; don't judge the marmalade by the label on the jar.
    I was still a child when the American Civil Righ...

Silly Beats Stress

Stress
    According to WebMD, forty-three percent of adults experience negative health effects from stress, and over seventy-five percent of doctor's office visits are for stress-related problems including headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, skin conditions, depression, and anxiety.
    Changes in our lives are often stressful, most especially changes that are thrust upon us, leaving us feeling that we have no control.
    At the same time, change is growth and ...

Celebrate Potential
One of my favourite novels is Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A Heinlein. Published in 1961 it tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who was born on the planet Mars, and raised by Martians, completely isolated from all human culture.
Smith arrives in America as a young adult, and must come to terms with human society. The novel deconstructs the systems that humans take for granted as people attempt to explain the reasons and rationales that th...

Celebrate Shift
    The dictionary says that to Shift is to 'move or cause to move from one place to another'.
    A Shift is an alteration or transformation. In terms of my work and my understanding of the world, Western society is currently Shifting: moving from where we have been into a very different future.
    This is not to suggest that we will wake up one morning in a new and Shifted world. Each of us has a contribution to make to the direction that life will Shift. Perhaps the defining ...

When Questions Are Answers.

     Shifts do not happen while we are content to glide through life on a track that has been assigned to us.
     For as long as we unquestioningly accept the path that was prescribed by our childhood training, we will move forward steadily. The years of living will elapse, and inevitably our body will die.
     Martha Beck calls this ‘living in the shallows’. When we Shift, we move into the depths of life.
     Shifting from thoughtlessness into the physical re...

Proud Cry-Baby

When I think about my Shift in the Emotional Plane, I have to recognize that I grew up in a culture which revered the stiff upper lip (non-expression) of the Empire building Englishman. The attitudes which surrounded my formative self taught me about bringing civilization to savage peoples, and justification was offered when their primitive nature was found in willingness to wail in the presence of death; or to shriek in the experience of pain.
In my early years, no o...

Decision is Power

When I was in my twenties, I happened upon the works of Scottish novelist Jane Duncan. The books had recently gone out of print and were still widely available. Today they remain out of print and have become quite rare. Duncan’s books are fun. They are easy to read and when I read them for the first time I very much identified with the central character. Throughout the series of nineteen novels, the author, writing in the first person point-of-view, examines and questi...

Inhale. Exhale. Shift.

     The Shift. It is word that could describe a single, simple thing. The Shift, however, is not a single thing, and it is far from simple.
     Shift is not an easy concept and it is not an easy process to describe. Saying that all aspects of The Shift can be defined and described in a blog post is a little like suggesting that one can discuss Life and all of its facets.
     A complex and multidimensional notion, The Shift can be understood holistically only when we...

Fractions and the Big Picture

Author Arundhati Roy has written‎ “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” This is a concept which resonates deeply with me. As I observe and note the societal changes that constitute the ongoing Shift, I am consistently aware of the future being transformed.
I am working with my friend and colleague, Tamlyn Hedemann, on an inspiring and comprehensive book about how the ways of love are shif...

The Crate Story

The Crate Story

    To Shift is to move from one place to another: a crate can be shifted from the floor to a shelf.
     When that happens, there is a time when the crate is no longer on the floor, occupying the previous position, and it has not yet arrived at the destination point.
     In many ways, in relation to the societal Shift, we are currently living this ‘in-between’ time, and perhaps the movement of the crate can serve as a parable.
     Imagine a world where people live inside ...

Gifts of The Shift

When I first arrived in this human incarnation, I had come to a family where adults and a young sibling were my teachers. We lived circumstances that would predispose me to the learning I intended to accomplish. I believed that security would ease me into the physical realm. My expectation was that I would be taught the secrets of success and thus I would succeed. It wasn’t quite like that.
Years later, as I became more independent, I looked for predictability and...

Moving Towards the Tipping Point

Online discussions of The Shift and ongoing Shift Energy often quote an American First Nations storyteller named Choquash who is credited with this quote:
"The elders have sent me to tell you that now is like a rushing river, and this will be experienced in many different ways. There are those who would hold onto the shore... there is no shore. The shore is crumbling. Push off into the middle of the river. Keep your head above the water, look around t...

Shifting Self to Shift the World

A global Shift in consciousness is taking place, and it may be affecting you in a number of ways. Jim Malloy suggests that the energy of Shift can make life feel harder to enjoy than in the past. Emotional intensity and racing thoughts may fill your mind and feed a sense of anxiety. Physically you may be tense or compelled to stay busy. Impatience and urgency and obsessions might jockey for your attention, and sometimes there is a swing from optimism to pe...

The Ongoing Shift

Before December 2012, there was lots of hype about the supposed end of the Mayan calendar. There were all sorts of tabloid writings and broadcasts about the end of the world as we know it; and plenty of opportunities for a few people to profit from the sales of books and retreats and coping skills that could be applied to the singular moment in history which had often been called The Shift.
Once the date had passed, the hype mostly disappeared and life went on. For ...
