Skipping Stones-18th February, 2024

The actions of the jaw, tongue and vocal chords, are independent of the limb system, the circulation, and the stomach/intestine’s pathways … and it is as though the body exists in two parts in this respect.

The active motions of the head create within their movements energetic forces that are expelled into the world. When we speak, the movement from the throat (or voice) and the movement of the tongue (which is our body incorporated), releases far more than simply sound.

The movement itself gives out into the world something of the substance the consciousness driving the movement is contemplating. In the likeness of gods, Man in particular can create in the ethers many projective thoughts/beings and imaginations – and these actions are not merely energetic characteristic – they are very much recognisable to the seer, who may identify the nature and maturity of that which is being projected and traced back to their creator.

Baby babble, verses and mantras are equally energetic to the receiver in the vicinity of the speaker, as well as being revivifying to the individual themselves who is pouring out the sound also.

The lower body from the neck down, in dance, eurythmy, walking, swimming, sports playing, copulation, does not create, similarly – for what is given out by these activities is not designed to be particular to that individual and the resonating energies given out are impersonal and not characteristic of the individuality.

From the neck down the output from the heart system and intestines, and waters, are harmonious, and usually all working alongside the pathways and patterning of the ethers and its movements within the world.

In many respects the less intentional one is in relation to these body parts the better they organise themselves.

What is meant by this that the biological systems all maintain themselves without conscious effort, and are also willingly obliging when motivated mindfully to carry out their duties as given to them by the thinking.

Ordinarily one heartbeat does not give out over another, and our movements are in general benign to the ethers about us. Even when the most wilful of individuals points a finger, they are energetically incapacitated from the hand itself - the intentions and its influence (as with some healing also) are in fact coming from the mindfulness, the voice, the throat, the tongue, the eyes etc., above the neck primarily.

This is not to say that below the neck is transplantable or unimportant for the heart is the great receiver, not only for the bloods but for the blessings of the spectrums of cosmic fortitude, signature to the self and self only.

That which emanates from the neck down is pure by nature – all of this is innocent and is so as is beast and plant and sunshine itself.

Yet the activity above the neck is personal to the soul within, and its activity inwardly and outwardly is personal to the ego and soul of that individual.

That which emanates from the head from these movements, in voice, and with thought, all has consequences, rebounding and resonating without, and can be either poison or healing for the world.

Even the blinking of the eyes energetically supports the mind. A feeble mind, or a mind trying to regain itself when awake, can be evidenced in the fluttering of the eyelids – for with the action of the eyelids their movements directly stimulate the mind continuously. This is also why meditation is more profitable when the eyelids are only partially closed, as fully closing them slows the conscious mind into a sleep.

When we are eating, the experience of the stomach is very different to that of the tongue: the lower parts of our bodies have certain needs, which may or may not be nutritionally satisfied when we eat.

Western culture tends towards the experience of eating in the mouth, rather than the bodily fulfilment. What could possibly go wrong?

The taste, the olfactory, and the mind itself have wandered from the immediate needs of the body into a forest of competitive forces.

Added to this, the simpler things like talking whilst eating, interrupts the biological harmony, for the actions of the jaw are best put to energetically, taking in the food at this time – for it is not just chewing that is occurring but rather a very complex process of preparing and vetting the substance that is about to enter one's body. If the jaw is put to another purpose at the same time as eating, then there is an outflowing energetically, and the initial digestion in the mouth is depleted.

Standing under the Moonlight- 4th February 2024

Does the moon, wear the reflected glory of his greater light? Or does he emanate from his own lamp?

Does the silver fish ride the currents, or does the flap of his palpitations stir the waves into motion?

Do the tallest of trees command the passing clouds to expire their beverage upon them particularly?

Do we, in humility, truly know our own place in this world - or with a child's mind, do we forge a fantasy, which inevitably will disappoint?

The route to knowing one's place, sane, and sure footed is one of humility, and the grasp of humility is secured by finding the Godhead within the souls around us.

We need not revile ourselves, or even that of our own mistakes – but profit moreover, from a steady observance, hope, and imagining of the glorious, spiritual infilling of our brothers, and a joyful respect for the mysterious and grandiose kingdoms that support our beings.

In this, we come to the comfort of truly knowing that of our own place … and it is simply wonderful.

Pioneer Souls- 3rd February 2024

Gabriela de Carvalho

One of the greatest predictors of the future they say, is the past - and this is most certainly true in respect to the actual past re-presenting in the world, returning to replay a set of circumstances within the gambit of life's forum.

These patterns are most often from the same players, jumping back into life when the cycle returns and permits, and the gathering of the familiar may recommence similarly with the microcosmos that is family and friends.

These karmic interplays occur naturally - however, and endearingly the roles are many times exchanged one amongst the other, and perspectives are then shared and enjoyed within this repetition.

There is never just one right outcome nor win to be realized, but there can be many unprofitable, disruptive and karmically compelling outcomes that blunder individuals back into the fray of such repetition.

This is why you may find that the pioneer souls who have broken away from their racial religious mainframe usually have been empowered to do so from having developed characteristics and soul attributes that have enstrengthened them to the point of resistance.

And a good many souls have gone through these changes to now experience a certain measure of loneliness – a point of difference – between themselves and the familiar and the societies they find themselves in today.

They are not evolutionary cast-offs, but rather it is they themselves that have ventured out and away from prior karmic obligations, having been released due to their knowledge gained and virtues polished, along their journey.

It is as if one travels so far that the guideposts are no longer. The future becomes so vast and wide that the individual experiences displacement: and this can be experienced within their body, identity, mind, and so forth.

Such transition periods have a much broader cause and concern than is realized – and, wondrously, so.

It is said that anxiety is a luxury that the poor cannot afford – and similarly so, the souls who are still bound to their collective will be somewhat content irrespective of circumstance - for their paths are shared and familiar, come what may.

But yet, for those who have ventured beyond, there can be a very natural sense of emptiness, and even vacancy alongside the awe that the open possibility brings.

Christ is here for us during these times. It is because of Him that such changes and subsequent freedom is possible, and when feeling as though we are in free-fall, it is He that can secure us once again.

Free-spiritedness can be many things – and generally genuinely difficult. Our souls are in adolescence, where the spiritual emotions are intense, and our desires exceed our common sense. However, there is a kindly consortium to guide us, a symphony of angelic helpers to aid and consult, and the loveliest of new friendships, soul to soul that will become everlasting from now on.

We have not discarded they who we have left – there will always be remaining connections for those in which genuine love resides, however our affiliations to the commerce of old religion and races have gone. Overall this is a gift to those who have made the break which can lead to future freethinking, individuality, and building the future worlds to come.

For in Christ all things are possible, but without Him, all is but a repetition of what was.

The Magnificence of Living a Good & Kind Life- 27th January 2024

Luciano Balduino

Often goodliness is overlooked when in a confused and complicated modern life the applicant is deterred from the straightforward. We can find ourselves at these internal crossroads moment by moment, whereas the simplest measure to ascertain by is of goodness and kindness and nought else.

In the spiritual worlds these inclinations and actions are the only currency to empower and move us forward, to be enabled to navigate further shores.

Goodness and kindness.

For what is it to be spiritually adept - an acrobat of thought, a scholar of the supreme - if we are to stray far from our own goodness and our own kindness to self and to others.

And it can be spoken of in terms of virtue, of higher principle, and principalities, and we may talk in the abstract about these two qualities and can consider them here - but let it be said at the outset that even that consideration would take away from their properties one knows, and can easily identify, if honestly reviewing oneself. There really needs to be no explanation for what these two things truly are.

However for the purposes of study we can look a little closer and all the while remembering that we are already well qualified to know and enact goodness and kindness throughout the day in our own personal hemisphere of life.

Morality was a concept introduced in intellectual circles during a period where society needed to question its overall activities, and in part this was a genuine assertion of the collective conscience, however it was also the beginning of isolation within the individuality; of deferring to a ledger - whereupon the notion of one’s behaviour might become sterilised amongst the homogenous collective agreement rather than with the internal knowing of right from wrong - and the sense, the true sense, and happiness for that matter, that goodness and kindness can bring.

For if one defers to a group (whether it be religious or societal) for these measures, they have already departed from themselves by doing so, and left behind the exquisite precision of their navigating intuition.

In other words if one needs to ask, they do not know -  or do they?

Wilful ignorance, inner blindness, denies the self the practical means to move forward. And it is here that the review of the day can be most useful with these things in mind. What could I have done, what should I have done? By this measure, What did I not see? Who did I not see before me? And there it is.

The shades of wilful blindness are upon us in this discussion for so very quickly we may conceal our own faults and flaws, our shortcomings, and hush the inner dialogue to the question of how are we to be brave enough, stern enough and strong enough to push back energetically, thoughtfully, and contrast all that is mundane with the joyful fervour that is Christly, practical, and helpful and be quick to respond to a circumstance where our powers can help - truly help - and heal with open arms and open heart.

Each spirit genuinely loves this world - it is our natural way to give, to care, to be charitable - and there can be no higher instinct or pedigree than this.
