Changing the Pattern
January 4, 2009
Roger Zelazny, acclaimed Sci-Fi and fantasy writer, wrote a series of novels in the 1970′s about a world called Amber. The first 5 stories were compiled into a single volume called ‘The Chronicles of Amber’ and it has been my entertainment this Christmas.
Amber is described as the one true (immortal) world, against which all other worlds are shadow realities. The book ponders what is true and false; it questions what is real; and it gives beautiful poetic descriptions of travel between the realities. You start to wonder then about what governs a reality.
But I’m not here to discuss the fine writings of Zelazny. I want to uncover how we change the patterns of reality. I want to look at the fine line between order and chaos, between real and unreal, between physical and virtual, simply because we can be more conscious and selective of all of it.
To be conscious of what can be achieved is to be responsible and trustworthy for something far greater than our knowing. And often that requires decisions that take us into the unknown, extending consciousness, so we straddle the infinite – of the known and the unknown together.
In this realm beyond boundaries we see that it is possible to manage simultaneous realities. Perhaps feeling the pulls of an inner world, mixed with writing about life in another universe, and hearing melodies from a non-physical space .. . all of which is real.
I am not afraid that I will lose my place, my connection to all that I love. I am a movement of consciousness that enquires and seeks to understand better the nature of all things.
What holds me in place – in my knowing and my unknowing – is my desire to be present. For reality is not a fixed pattern of events to hold my attention. Reality is a dance of my consciousness amidst the ever expanding consciousness of everything. So to change the pattern of what evolves me is to explore the pattern that involves us all, knowing that my willingness to change is what will give me movement.
I ponder my pattern for a while, noticing that it calls me to live more into my immortality. My consciousness is not earth-bound anymore, for it spreads through the Cosmos. What is changing in my pattern? It seems clear that I am claiming more of who I can be.
Now I look at our collective pattern … then become it. As the pattern, I have the understanding of what connects us. Not through a feeling or an impression, rather an awareness of what is true. Here, just a simple shift in focus changes all. Just the realisation that we are self-patterning beings – of incredible wisdom and presence – enables everything to awaken to new potentialities. For in this awakening, a new pattern emerges that is more real and resplendent still.
Do you walk the pattern with me? What change do you bring to the benefit of all?

One Response to “Changing the Pattern”
For me, I realize part of changing patterns requires releasing old beliefs and acquiring new ones. As someone once said, “Nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it.” So in order to expand my awareness and inhabit different places and spaces in my life, I must first change the dictionary I have been carrying around with me and which I have allowed to define my world. For me, that has required an increased sense of “awareness” to my thoughts, actions and words. Learning where they come from, which world I created them in and where I can go next in order to transform them.
I have been expanding into new worlds and it has required letting go of things which have been my security blanket, holding my limited thoughts in place, keeping me strapped tightly into places I was unaware I was resting… big grin! This requires my unending patience at a time I feel like an eager child, wanting to run full bore out into the New Playground!! Last night I was in a class in which I sat in the “hot seat” on the phone, as the teacher questioned a single belief I had recognized I still hold. At the bottom of the well sat yet another invisible friend, holding me in place since I was but a wee child. “No one cares.” In but a moment, I realized how that one thought alone had created the many structures I had lived inside of, and which were holding me so very tight. They were so close I could not see them, I was looking at my world, through these transparent, invisible glasses!
So today I am a New Woman, expanding ever more into New Realities by letting go of the ones I have been unknowingly living from for all these years! I imagine there are more and yet now I am an Explorer on an Exciting Adventure, because I realize my new Freedoms will bring me more fun than I could have ever realized before!! It is now Exciting and Juicy to realize how my dance has brought forward a new generation of people who will no longer be held back by such a creation! We all set ourselves FREE!!
