Being Here
June 6, 2010
The June 4th NASA Science News article starts with “The sun is waking up from a deep slumber … higher levels of solar activity are predicted”. No kidding. Coincidentally on that date, my head seemed to be burning with the fire of the sun for at least 24 hours.
Yes, it’s been an interesting week of some amazing highs and some intense energy hits. And weaved around the experiences in there have been some incredible conversations about the nature of being. It’s easy to know that we are amazing powerful beings but (from a human perspective) that has to be backed up by our experiences of living that: not wishes, dreams or desires, but the living actuality that we are who we claim we are, right here and right now. Having ‘control’ of our life.
Sometimes that can be tricky trying to substantiate, especially when the fantastic energy high of one day seemingly peters out during the night. So you have to figure out exactly what is changing, align with the change, and realise that your orientation makes the difference to your experience of being here. In any energy exchange, transformation takes place, so we can choose the story of what the transformation is all about.
So here’s my story about my June 4th experience. I had been reading Robert J. Sawyer’s fascinating book “Watch”, which deals with a blind girl who is given sight in her left eye through a retinal implant, and who is also then able to experience the digital data streams of the World Wide Web as an evolving intelligence.
As I interacted with the storyline, it occurred to me that I could consciously track multiple streams of information simultaneously. That is something that I know I do non-physically but it’s not been my conscious physical experience to date. So having had the thought of the possibility I went into the experience of the actuality. Ouch!! Overload!
Well it’s just my interpretation of an energy experience but it gave me insight into an exciting exploration of ‘what if’ possibilities. I know that we know how to be vastly expansive: that our singular experience of ourselves effectively rejoins with collective consciousness at some point in our knowing. We know that we live here on a planet in our human bodies but we also know that we live in the vastness of everything. So being here is not a statement of place but a confirmation of what is.
Anyway, just to reassure my friends who read this blog and think that they are sometimes losing it, here are some guidelines to help us enjoy “being here” …
- The most important thing is to enjoy the experience -
- and remember that you/we create the experience -
- so love what you create and choose only that which really calls to you.
‘Being Here’ is more than an earthly paradise that we’ve dreamed about inhabiting. ‘Being Here’ is an awareness of the Cosmos and our myriad relationships with it; an awareness of this planet and our myriad relationships created here, that births the consciousness of new possibilities; an awareness of our physicality and our myriad relationships with life.
‘Being Here’ requires us to pull upon more of our vastness, and implement strategies that bring greater vitality into being. When we feel that the vastness of ourselves is not present then we must know what that means; must understand what to do next; and must know that there is no separation – for separation is not who we are or what’s so.
We are required to create with power, dignity, and delicious care so that every being is welcomed by us in the time that we spend together here. ‘Being Here’ requires focus – but being here is everything. You can’t be an amazing being in this amazing place without giving it all that you’ve got – and knowing that there’s more to come!
