How to Partner with the Energy of the Universe

By

How to Partner with the Energy of the Universe

Adventures in the Unseen World

It is so vast we cannot comprehend it. It is so powerful it is beyond or imagination. We are part of a vibration that is truly All That Is. And we, here in our body suits, are a very, very small aspect of this all-encompassing vibration. 

Everything is pure energy

We are energy. Everything is vibration and energy.  We are made up of vibration, sounds, non- sounds, stillness, and silence. We simply are.

The Core Essence, this Elemental Vibration is invisible. Often the invisible comes to our attention thought sensations in our body suits.  But primarily this invisible All That Is stays invisible. 

We sense the pattern created by the vibration of All that Is, we can see its effect and we can learn from it. 

The invisible is made visible through the cycles of nature

One core lesson the Energy of the Universe teaches us is the rhythm and power of cycles. Everything at every moment is in some stage of a cycle – waxing, waning, peaking. Cycles create a gradual and often imperceptible change but it is a consistent and constant change. There is a constant ebb and flow, of beginning and ending. Change is constant.

We can align with the power of the cycles of the Universe by observing and responding to the cycles. When we learn to flow with the cycles, we utilize the power of the natural flow of the universe. 

The power of the universe teaches us to embrace the nature of unfolding

We are not aways aware of the gradual change of a cycle. For instance, we may not notice the change of seasons until one day a leaf falls at our feet. Before long the trees are resplendent in their magical glory and we realize the power of the cycles they are always in. It has been a gradual, unfolding process. A process of ebb and flow. A process of unfolding and collapsing. We are to learn from the cycles of nature. It is one way to partner with the power of the universe.

The moon teaches us patience with her waxing and waning. She too is in a noticeable and constant cycle of change. The cycle of the moon is far-reaching. It has great power as it affects the ebb and flow of all water on our planet – which includes the large amount of water within our body suits.

The power of the universe teaching us patience

Planets imperceptibly move around each other. It takes years to get to the nearest planet. Our evolution has taken millions of years. Patience and acceptance of the process of unfolding is a major lesson of the energy of the universe.

The Universe teaches us to notice, adapt and trust

The ebb and flow of the energy of the universe are evident in the unfolding of each day – dawn, mid-day, night. It is evident in the unfolding of our lives – birth, life, perhaps creating new life, dying. A natural cycle we all move through. When we pay attention to the Universe we will learn how to adapt and we will learn to trust the constant gradual change that is always taking place. 

What lies beyond what we know?’

As we experience our lives in our body suites we sometimes feel very small. 

But here in our body suits we also live by the cycles of the universe. When we adapt to them our life moves more smoothly. And part of our cycle includes our “next.” What comes after our body suit lives? 

More cycles, more evolution more unfolding. The universe is in a constant place of unfolding change. 

Unfolding cycles are simply the way of the energy of the universe. It is simply the way of us.

Embrace the power of the universe and the cycles of change that are its pattern of power. 

Deeper Song Affirmation

I become more aware of the ebb and flow of the natural cycles of the Universe and I adapt to them and become more flexible. 

A Deeper Song Process

  • Become more aware of the cycles of the moon. Don’t read what others say, notice how you respond to the moon cycles. When are you most productive? Take advantage of that. When do you seem to come to a stop? Honor that in your life choices. 
  • Think of how you respond to the seasons. Do you have a favorite? One in which you feel more content? Just notice that and see what qualities you can bring into your life.
  • Look back over our life and identify the cycles you have lived through, what you learned or accomplished during those cycles. Where are you now? What stage of what cycle are you in? What does that mean for you? How do you feel about it? What do you do?
  • Be with that awareness

Can You Experience Your Boundlessness?

By

Can You Experience Your Boundlessness?

Adventures in the Unseen World

Leap Into the Boundless and Make it Your Home – Chuan Tzu

There is a vastness we, here in our body suits, cannot fathom. We get glimpses of it. We periodically sense it, but as long as we experience from the limitations of our body suit, we will be unable to see the magnificent unseen world that is the essence of our being.

There are no edges in boundlessness

You cannot go to the edge of the Unseen World and fall off since It is boundless. It simply exists everywhere and forever and includes everything – much more than what we, in our body suits – can perceive. Even with the help of telescopes and space probes we are far from understanding and experiencing the boundlessness of the vibration that is the Unseen World. 

The ideal of limitless is inconceivable to our body suits.  Only as we begin to work in the  Unseen World do we even consider the concept of boundlessness, of limitlessness. But it exists. It simply is.

There are no boundaries in the Unseen World

This Unseen World has no beginning and no end.  It is boundless.  It is limitless.  No, we don’t know where it will lead us.  We do understand that it does not end.  There are no boundaries.  From our body suits we are aware of only 5% of the Unseen World.  We need to be more curious.  We need to go exploring.

There is only one all-encompassing vibration

We are all one energy, one vibration, one ALL. There is only one of us even when it does not feel like it.  

Our job is to allow ourselves to feel beyond our body suits, to experience beyond its limitations, to live in an unknown energy beyond our human limitations.  

This all-encompassing, All-That-Is Ultimate Void is pure Energy.  Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be replaced. And that’s what we are to do, rearrange our belief system in our body suit so that we can go exploring in places we cannot yet fathom. 

“Live in the Nowhere That you Came From, even though you have a home here.”
– Kahlil Gibran

Being in our body suits is just a short experience over a modest span of earth years. As we express ourselves and are limited by our body suits, we are to rememberer our oneness, the Nowhere That We Came From, The Emptiness That Holds Everything, the Unknowable. The Unseen World.

If we can.

When we can.  

Disappear your body suit and explore within

When you close your eyes and go within, you begin to disappear your body suit and experience what is true within you. A soul. A core energy. A vibrational harmony of one. Of wholeness. Of being All That Is.   

Let go of the body suit stuff and start living within, in the peace and serenity and oneness that is innate within each of us. 

Deeper Sogn Affirmation

I begin to experience myself as boundless vibration, the vibration of a harmonious ONE.

Deeper Song Process

  • Close your eyes and go within until you are no longer aware of your body suit.
  • What is there?
  • What do you feel?
  • What do you experience?
  • That is the unseen world 
  • Welcome.

The Concept of One and the You as Observer

By

The Concept of One and the You as Observer

Adventures in the Unseen World

If there is only “now” – which is all there is, – we cannot see it because we cannot separate ourselves from it in order to observe. 

Give that some thought. 

You cannot step outside of being “One” in order to see “One”.  Because we all are “One!”

We need contrast in order to understand anything

We need black in order to understand white. We need straight in order to perceive crooked. That’s why, we, in our body suits, think of ourselves as Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine and therefore separate ourselves from each other.  When in fact, we are all One. 

Tao is called “the one”. It is the fundamental reality

How do we experience Tao?  How do we understand its concept?  If we are actually one with Tao but we need to feel ourselves as separate from Tao in order to perceive it – how do we do that?

Merge with the Unseen World

I use shamanic journeying to disappear from my body suit and begin to explore and experience the concept of one. And still, I perceive my helping spirits as physical form metaphors that have meaning to me here in my body suit. 

In mediation, I can disappear my body and yet my mind is still here, one last thread holding me separate. It is probable that we cannot fully experience oneness from our body suits, but we can try. 

I could look for similarities rather than differences. That might change how I view others. I would experience the oneness of Tao in them. 

I could find my commonality with nature. Spend more time in a receptive silence just listening and feeling. I would experience the oneness of Tao then. 

Mindfulness helps us be more present, more aware, more reflective and accepting of a moment, an action, an experience.  

Perhaps being mindfully aware is as close as we can get to the Oneness of Tao. But we can keep trying.

Everything is One Energy

Work to absorb this concept of everything being one energy. Begin to see yourself reflected in the actions of others. Become more aware of how you hold yourself apart. Initiate more quiet time in which you allow your body suit to disappear as you move into greater connection with Tao. All That Is. The Emptiness That Holds Everything.  Disappear your body suit and Be One. 

Deeper Song Affirmation

I spend time in mindful silence and feel myself fill with the presence of One. I carry that with me throughout my day. 

Deeper Song Process

  • Begin to notice your tendency to see yourself as separate rather than as one. 
  • Begin with nature. In reflective silence let yourself experience an element of nature – a tree, a rock, the wind. Take time to lose your body suit and merge with the nature element you have chosen. 
  • Notice how your body suit gradually disappears as you merge with what you have chosen. 
  • As you move through your life, notice how separately you hold yourself and begin, at least mentally, to put yourself in the other person’s place, or merge with their energy or wrap that other person in loving energy that you hold out to them. 
  • Interact from a position of everything and everyone being one energy.  
  • Repeat frequently.

The Harmonies of Silence

By

The Harmonies of Silence

Adventures in the Unseen World

There is sound in silence. It is as if I am experiencing a noiseless vibration. There is no melody, no tone that is loud or soft, there is simply a steady tone – of silence.  And it has a rhythm all its own.   

What are the Harmonies of Silence?

It was on a shamanic journey that I heard the phrase “Harmonies of Silence.” The message was “Add your harmony to the golden choir.  The over-arching choir, the Universal Choir.  Make your tones as clear as you can.  Speak only the words that resonate with your inner-self.  I hear a sound.  It is the harmonies of silence, the harmonies of nature.  Be still and immerse yourself in the silence and receive the messages.”

The Harmonies of Nature

I immediately wanted to figure out what that meant. Perhaps it refers to my inner ear that I cannot hear.  Perhaps it means my breathing which is silent because I am sitting still. If I were outside I might hear the wind moving through the trees. I might hear a nearby insect or rain tapping on a surface. There is powerful silence in the falling of snow. It transforms the world without a sound. Those are very gentle sounds of silence. Those are some of the harmonies of silence.  But as soft as they are, they can be heard by the body suit ear.

So perhaps we think of those as the “Harmonies of Nature.” Water can be heard tapping on a window. The sound of the moment of an ocean has a rhythm to it, like breathing in and breathing out. A mountain stream giggles and gurgles as it races along. There can be a great deal of sound in the movement of water. And that sound fits into one harmonious pattern or existence.  Nature is full of harmony.

What are the harmonies of silence?  

Our thoughts are part of the Harmonies of Silence. My dear sweet wonderful mind that can get so carried away with ideas can be very loud sometimes. As I sit here in stillness, my inner voice is part of the Harmon of Silence. 

What about touch?  Is it part of the Harmonies of Silence? The soft fur of my cat cuddling beside me is part of the Harmony of Silence. He is silent in his sleep, and I am aware of the vibration of his being.  I can’t hear it, but I can feel it.

So is feeling a part of the Harmonies of Silence?  Yes. 

Emotion is very powerful. It can greatly influence how we feel and respond and react.  Feelings are also a part of the Harmonies of Silence.  

None of those elements make a sound – until they are expressed.  Love is silent, anger is silent, curiosity is silent, confusion is silent.  And yet those are very powerful harmonies in the energy of silence. 

Align with the Harmonies of Silence

I do not move through my entire day aligned with the energy of silence because I do not stay mindful of its existence. I have my mind, I have my emotions, I may even have a physical plane interaction with another energy being in a body suit.  But at the core of me, at the core of everything, there is silence.  And in that field of silence, there is harmony – active vibrations, different volumes, changing rhythms and even occasional melodies. How do I become aware of them? What do I do with them?

Cultivate the Harmonies of Silence

I have quieting techniques to sprinkle throughout my day to keep me calm and centered – deliberate pauses to breathe, a contemplative look out the window, mindful moments in which to be silent and inwardly focused.  

I have choice in how I interact when another body suit shows up and we exchange energy.  

But my main job is to stay centered and harmonious in the Harmonies of Silence.

I do that through awareness and choice. Awareness that there is harmony in silence and choice to be aligned with it.

Where I look creates harmony

The harmonies of silence can be very subtle.  I must teach myself to be aware of them.

Watching the sunset aligns me with the Harmonies of Silence. 

Watching the tree branches gradually bend with the weight of snow is part of the Harmonies of Silence. 

When I pause to experience the serene energy of my home, I hear the Harmonies of Silence.  

I feel the Hormones of Silence when I hold a crystal in my hand and feel and experience its message. 

I feel Harmonies in Silence when a phrase captures my attention and sparks an idea.

Pause to listen – and hear

Listen to the Harmony of Silence that surrounds you – wherever you are.  Listen to the background sound. Listen to the vibration of your soul energy. A simple moment of awareness helps you hear the harmonies of silence. 

The silence within is a sacred silence. When we notice it, it calms us.  When we experience it, we are aware of our own all-encompassing energy and our intertwined connection with the being-ness of the universe.  

Now that’s something to listen to!  

Sit in silence. Be present in silence. Be still and immerse yourself in the silence and receive the messages.

Then you will hear the Harmonies of Silence. 

Deeper Song Affirmation

I practice listening to the Harmonies of Silence every day. 

Deeper Song Process

  • Sit quietly in tie moment and listen to the silence. 
  • Now listen to the Harmonies of Silence – the rhythm of your breath, the beating of your heart the sensations of your body.  
  • Extend your awareness out into the room and feel the energy of the items on your altar or the energy of a nearby plant or the room you sit in. See if you can become aware of the vibration, the Harmonies of Silence that quietly embrace you.
  • Look out the window and observe the Harmonies of Silence in nature.
  • Expand your awareness of the silence throughout our day.

Curiosity Alone is Transformative

  Curiosity Alone is Transformative

Adventures in the Unseen World

When I stop to feel the softness of my cat’s fur I experience not only the silkiness of the fur but the warmth of his purring body beneath my hand. When I sit with our combined energy I experience the companionship and trust he adds to my life.  If I become more curious  I may begin to wonder what it feels like to be that small, or see at night, or be about to leap up to a chair, or purr?

Curiosity takes you on one adventure after another

My mind keeps me hopping. I spend days trying to explain what I learn in my shamanic journeys by writing posts. I follow where I am led and my curiosity and need to understand is taking me on a huge adventure. 

Curiosity allows you to add new ideas to your life

I had no idea the video talk I was watching would be so transforming. Or lead me on such great adventures. That was where I heard the phrase “Curiosity alone is transformative.” And here we are exploring that idea together. 

Curiosity gives you understanding 

I didn’t know I was going to become so interested in sound vibration until the right teacher showed up and I began to learn and apply what I discovered. I went exploring and expanded not only my understanding of how vibration works but how to use that understanding in my life. 

Curiosity offers you comparison

Being able to compare two choices is invaluable.  Where will this choice take me?  Where will that choice lead?  Explore both opportunities before you decide. Curiosity is power. 

Curiosity broadens your choice

When you explore, you discover more paths, more opportunities, more choices.  They are not all for you but knowing about them will help guide you on your own path. 

Curiosity gives you new ideas

I had no idea the speaker was going to talk about Koans. I also didn’t know I would resonate so deeply with them. Suddenly I turned and wandered a bit down the path that helps me understand those thought-provoking stories. Be open to new ideas and explore them.

Curiosity opens new doors

As I move more deeply and frequently into the Unseen World there are definitely new doors being opened.  Not thrown open, but hinted at, needing a choice from me before they open and take me on my next adventure. 

Curiosity is transformative

How curious will you be today?. Where and what will you explore? 

Where will it lead you?

Deeper Song Affirmation

I am aware of my curiosity and follow where it leads me.
