A plunge into the Archetypal Stream

These are magical times.  Sometimes the magic is light and inspiring:  you have a wish, thought, desire one moment and it manifests in the next;  you think of someone you care for and haven't heard from in a long time and suddenly the phone rings or an email pops up.  Sometimes the magic is dark and overwhelming:  an earthquake occurs and nuclear reactors melt and spew radiation into our air and water, and we know without question, we are being lied to and the environmental destruction is daunting and affects us all.

This current journey on Planet Earth calls us to stay more centered and loving than ever.  And, this is a tall task.  To stand in our personal power with loving hearts and a positive vision while all that we believed to be true is crumbling beneath our feet -- now that's something that can build character, evolve your soul and teach you how to walk through your daily life in a state of expanded consciousness, if you have the tools you need to navigate in this new territory.

Because the frequency of our planet is speeding up, our access to higher dimensional awareness is more open than ever, but an essential skill for all of us is to know how to handle 4th Dimension challenges .  Remember 4D is like a canopy over us and when light from the higher dimensions enters it, it splits into positive and negative poles.  There is nothing inherently wrong with that because polarity creates a dynamic energy that brings forth physical manifestation in 3D.  It's the yin/yang, the male/female energy that asks us to hold the energy of sacred union.  But when we we are not consciously holding this integration of opposites, we create duality by getting attached  to one pole or the other.  This creates negative emotional dramas that stress us, distract us, and can, if we are not careful, cause us to behave in ways that are harmful to ourselves, to others, and to our planet.  It's really important to learn how to release this attachment and instead to hold awareness in such a way that we allow the themes of these dramas to flow through us.

To give you a better understanding of 4D dramas that get enacted in 3D, we can look to the Greek gods and goddesses.  According to Hand Clow, these entities actually reside in 4D because all archetypes reside in 4D.  Greek mythology is full of bizarre dramas the Gods/Goddesses engaged in.  It is myths like these that give us important clues about 4D reality.  Archetypes have a force and consciousness but no human body so they like to get us to act out crazy plays for them, perhaps for their entertainment.  Conversely, we have bodies but without the archetypal realm, we would have no symbolic context to understand our nature, so we need these archetypes to better understand ourselves.  These forces reside within us as well, and it is our job to honor these forces without allowing them to do harm.

Many Indigenous cultures were able to stay in what Hand Clow refers to as the archetypal stream.  They created plays and other art forms that allowed these 4D forces to flow through them without turning destructive.  This is exactly what we have to learn to do in order to keep that magic working for rather than against us, both individually and collectively.

Learning self-observation, to view our emotions and emotional responses from a place of objectivity and non-reactivity is the key here.  Whenever we feel ourselves reacting, that's the sign we are getting hung up in the duality of 4D;  we're allowing those archetypes to mess with us.  So notice the signals you get.  An important signal for me is when there is a tightening or intensity in my solar plexus.  This is my sign to stop, to deep breathe and de-brief.  With the vibrational field of the planet speeding up, my experience is that I have to work ever-harder to release attachment to my emotional reactions.  Some days of course, are easier than others.

The technique of ho' oponopono is a useful one here:  it's both simple and remarkably powerful.  For those of you unfamiliar, one simply focuses on whatever is causing the internal discomfort be it fear or judgement, and say these words:  "I love you, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you."  This phrase has a neutralizing affect if you say it to yourself over and over again until the feeling releases. 

I find journaling works wonders for me.  Once I write the words on a page, it seems like those archetypal responses can flow right through me, freeing my energy and my heart.  Or you might want to say a prayer, meditate, hold a yoga asana:  whatever it takes for you to get free again.

So remember, the first step is awareness.  Begin to notice when these 4D forces are acting on you.  Then figure out which tools work best for you and USE them.  We will all be most grateful.
