Relaxing Into What Your Essence Knows
A total solar eclipse, like the one that happened two days ago, is a threshing floor in many dimensions. What was ready to release has done so, whether we acknowledge that or not. What is building, weaving new fabrics of life for us, is well on its weaving way. The shuttle of life continues on, to and fro, without some parts of us and carrying others. What switches out the threads? That to which we give our attention.
So much of our life is given to making ends meet, one way or another. It is one of the ways of this world. So many collective lifestreams have to do with money that this symbol for flow has become deified, something to be acquired and lived by. Whether we deem this good or bad, this is how things are. What does your Essence know about this? Are enlightenment and money similar? The same? Why is this even an interesting question? Valid? What does your Essence tell you, beyond shared collective beliefs?
Why is consuming all-consuming? Can the clear light be consumed? Why do we keep trying? Why do these concepts matter?
I was taught, as a toddler, even before I could walk, to look at concepts as a device of collective consciousness and the egoic mind. Did that make life a bit challenging? Has that made a difference in my approach to… everything? Yes. Of course. This perspective has made me laugh and weep at the mechanisms that run most of our lives. Mine included. I am absolutely aware of programs when they run, take over, and what Essence would rather express. I can report that this perspective has been a gift and certainly a challenge. The gift? I feel, with all that I am, the difference between the vibration of Truth and what is only a thought pattern, belief system or learned habit of behavior. Many of these, for all of us, are beneficial for survival, or so the programs would have us believe. Those that are not, our Essence gently but firmly nudges us away from, offering a new way. Will we listen? Do we often hear but ignore as a matter of convenience? Of course. Are we aware that our so-called personality is only a learned habit of behavior, and a bit boring at that? Our Essence knows what is authentic and what is an act.
It is perhaps time to let our Essence lead. To give it center stage, if only in the Stillness of our being. Stillness is life. Remember how it feels in the deep woods, where the Silence is filled with life and palpable as a thrumming vibration. Remember how the sea feels, even as it swells, ebbs, and meets the shoreline of life, on whatever fixed position we might be inhabiting, or as it simply caresses Gaia’s rock and sand.
We are this flow. This, our Essence knows.
Happy post-eclipse!
Infinite love,
