New Moon; New Moan

Okay this was not what I intended to write.  I intended to speak of Andrew Weil's definition of a shaman as one who mediates between the invisible and the visible world.  I intended to show that this was the beauty of the multi-dimensional framework:  our evolution is about both becoming the mystic by attuning to the Divine Mind of 8D, and the Shaman, by being able to mediate the energies from the most concrete dimension (1D) to the most invisible yet accessible dimension, (9D).

But Tuesday when I returned home from Asheville, my inner mystic and  inner shaman did not come forth to celebrate this new lunar cycle.  Instead my attention went to the mud on the floor, smoke from the wood stove in the great room, my husband Dennis and I managing to irritate each other within my first few minutes in the door... And while we were soon able to laugh about the absurdity of being human, there was still a lot of moaning-about-life energy floating around.  Thus we got caught in the 4D muck. 

Whenever we find drama in our lives, it is a clear sign that we are in the negative pole of 4D.  This is the dimension of the collective human psyche.  The 4D canopy arches itself over our 3D reality and holds all the archetypal forces that we have labelled good and bad, positive and negative.  When we are in harmonious emotional flow, we are naturally integrating our contradictions, our good/bad, positive/negative shadow -- on both an individual and collective level.  When we feel emotionally jagged, when we squabble with people, when external drama engages us, when we feel down, resentful or in other ways out-of-sorts, our ka body cannot fully penetrate us.  We lose that connection.  The 4D canopy thickens and the light of higher dimensions is blocked.  Now there's something to moan about.

Or is there?  Really we always have the capacity to stop, to regroup, to move into awareness and into the present through focusing on our breath and attuning to what we are hearing, seeing, feeling, sensing.  We always have the capacity to go into our hearts and expand the love that resides there, and the capacity to surrender our egos for that moment.  Then the 4D canopy becomes diaphonus... the upper dimensions beaming through it.

When we don't want to activate that capacity, we can always just observe our thoughts and notice that sometimes we just choose to have yet another glass of "whine".

May the new year and the new moon bring you much joy.  This is a time of great evolutionary acceleration on our planet and we all can help usher in a world of peace and harmony by creating peace and harmony within.
