How to Lob Light Balls to the World

An Exploration of the Unseen World

Sometimes I feel helpless, sitting here, one person with a great desire to heal our world. I always feel better when I lob a few light balls to the areas of conflict.

Lob a light ball. We can all do that. I don’t see it as putting out a fire, I see it as raising the vibration so those who see it recognize their own powerful personal light and bring their light to the situation they are in.

And when they, do, when they join us, we collectively raise the vibrio of the planet.

How to Lob Light Balls to the World

An Exploration of the Unseen World

Sometimes I feel helpless, sitting here, one person with a great desire to heal our world. I always feel better when I lob a few light balls to the areas of conflict.

And when they, do, when they join us, we collectively raise the vibrio of the planet.

Pretty good work for an old lady in the Midwest. Will you join me?

I’m Cara Lumen, spiritual philosopher and founder of the Deeper Song Community. I am a cosmic explorer who consciously travels into the unseen world to serve as a bridge to help us expand our relationship with the spiritual world. I share what I learn and guide those who are ready to the next level so we can sing a deeper song.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song, we learn How to Lob Light Balls to the World.

I don’t remember when I first started lobbing light balls. But I know why I did. I’m 88 and my activist choices seem to be centered in intentional energy work. We can all do that.

Sometimes I sit here and watch the many disruptions all over the planet and I feel a bit inadequate to do anything. Until I remember Light Balls. I can lob Light balls any place I want. Like Lebron James or Steph Curry, just making one ringer after another.

A Light Ball carries your intention.

A Light Ball raises vibration.

A Light Ball encourages others to raise their own light.

That’s a lot of positive change coming for lobbing a light ball!

Light Balls carry your intention.

A light ball is just that – light – vibrating wholeness. It carries with it a higher vibration that enables us, each and eery one of us, wherever we are, to send a light ball of raised vibrational energy to any situation, any person, any group of people, or any disruption in nature.

Our initial tendency is to work only from within our body existence and allow ourselves to feel limited by our thoughts and our emotions. Bur remember when we are so much more than that. Our Higher Self works in the Unseen World and it can do anything!!!

Lobbing a Light ball is extremely empowering.

For me, the purpose of a light ball is to do just that, bring some light into the darkness, some compassion and inclusion and – you get the picture – a Light Ball goes and does what light does – it raises the vibration and reminds us that we are all one energy.

That’s pretty powerful stuff.

How do we use these Light balls? Why do we use these light balls?

A light Ball raises vibration.

Sometimes I lob a lot of light balls in one direction. Sometimes I toss light balls more often than at other times but the intention is the same – to remind us all that we are one whole interconnected vibration, that there is no difference and we harm ourselves when we harm others.

That’s a lot of powerful results come from a little light ball.

I have also been known to toss a light ball up in the air and then stand under it till it bops me on the head and I get it!

Now, I could attach a strong intention to the light ball I lob, but light is light and it is whole and that’s what I want to send – the awareness of, the feeling of the knowledge of our oneness, our wholeness, our inclusion in the one energy.

A light ball. Lob a light ball…

I suppose we could make them colored, but I’ll leave that up to the light ball. And since I send it with my intention, I don’t even have to be a particularly good shot – it knows where it is to go.

Light Balls know where they are needed, so you can toss them in the air with a general intention, and like a guided missile, off they go.

And you can also focus light balls on a specific situation or an energy of unrest.

I journeyed to find out how best to use Light Balls. Here are some of the insights I received:

Light balls carry a high vibration that can raise the consciousness of any situation.

Light balls know where their energy is needed.

Light balls know whose heart is open.

Light balls carry a high vibration that can raise the consciousness of any situation.

When you chose to Lob a Light Ball you begin by raising your vibration, by making your intention be for the highest good of all. You do not choose an outcome, you simply send in a higher vibration though the Light.

Light balls know where the energy is needed

Let the light balls go out into the planet’s atmosphere and like a programed drone, know where they are to go, where they are needed. There is great power in the light. We may choose an overall intention to send light balls to a special situation but then we release the light balls so they can go where they are most needed. There is no way we can know whose heart is open or who is ready to change, but Light does. Light knows who is ready to raise their vibration and it will move to those who are ready. Ready to raise their vibrato-in Ready to raise their light.

Light balls know where their energy is needed.

Light balls know whose heart is open.

A light ball is an intently raised vibration that goes where it is needed. A Light Ball encourages those it lands on to raise their own light.

So here’s what is happening. This is a transformative period in which those of us who are aware of ourselves as light move more deeply into our light center, raise our vibration, and move into a new level of conscoioiusness . Not everyone is called to this next step, but those of us who are, are to act as a bridge for others who are ready to raise their awareness and move into the new consigns. We do that through our example. We do that by raising our vibration and sending out light. One of the ways we can do that is by lobbing night balls.

What happens when a person reeve the light ball? They recognize the light within themselves and recognize it as a part of themselves they want to cultivate and expand. They respond. They look up and there, encircling the planet is an ever-thickening layer of light – our collective, intentional energy, our combined energy holding high watch for the world, inviting other beings to join us. We are joined in raising the collective consciousness all over the world.

Those who see, respond. They raise their vibration. They begin sharing their own light in a more conscious way. The world balances.

Light balls know who’s heart is open. They are heart-seeking missiles that are drawn to those who are ready to open their hearts further and raise their vibration and move into the New Consciousness.

Just as the roots of the trees connect all trees to each other under the ground, our light, our intention healing light, our light of oneness, will journey where it is needed in the situation or person you direct them to. They know what is needed. They know the specific place to shed light to change the entire trajectory of the situation.

Light Balls know where to go, who is ready to receive their enlightened energy. Bless the light balls, release them and let your general intention carry them where they are most needed, to those who are ready to receive them, to bring the light into their heart and create positive change.

It only takes a second to lob a light ball. One thought, one intention and it’s done.

Lob a light ball to a friend who is struggling.

Lob a light ball to people and places on the planet that are struggling.

Toss a Light ball up in the air and stand under it until it bops you on the head…

It’s not about looking for negative energy, it is more about encouraging you to feel that you are working for a higher good and it is effective.

Next time you are feeling a tad helpless, get out our bag go light balls and like a ball throwing machine, start tossing them out into our world with the intention that those who see them and are ready, will recognize that light within themselves and will join us in the collective consciousness that is forming a layer of fling around our planet.

Where will you lob light balls today?

I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect and insights and encouragement for your next steps.

Our Ongoing Journey into the New Consciousness

An Exploration of the Unseen World

Not everyone is aware of this New Consciousness. They see the turmoil but not the promise.

And a great many people are simply not drawn to this new level of being. But those of us who recognize this call have work to do.

I don’t know where it will lead. I do know that we must set our sails in the direction of this higher vibration, this New Consciousness. I know that’s where I’m headed. As are you, because you are drawn to the message of podcast Will you come exploring with me?

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song, we think about how those of us who are called, are to continue Our Ongoing Journey into the New Consciousness.

Many people are wondering what’s going on. Why are we experiencing this huge and challenging change? Where are we headed?

The fact is that change is ever-present and on-going, and where we head next and where we end up can be directly influenced by our own consciences. choices. We need to give our thoughts and intentions and beliefs some careful consideration.

What is this New Consciousness? The fact is, that although it is relatively new in our awareness, the New Consciousness, the new State of Being is already here. We just have to increase our own awareness and raise our participation in it.
How does it come into being? Where does it take us? Here we are, ready and willing, how do we embrace this New Consciousness? What steps do we take? How do we know if we are succeeding? What is our role?
And finally, we need to figure out how to find each other so we can walk the path together.

The fact is, that although it is relatively new in our awareness, the New Consciousness, the new State of Being is already here. We just have to increase our own awareness and participation in it. Our first step is to become aware of the existence of this New Consciousness.

Our planet is changing very rapidly. We are part of a huge over-arching cycle but within that Grand Cycle, there are smaller cycles with various goals and outcomes. We are part of the cycle working to raise our individual vibration and blend it with others for the over-arching good of all. There are smaller cycles within the Grand Cycle.

We have ignored a lot of the signals that this New Consignees is actively and enthusiastically coming into being. Environmental change is one huge sign. We notice it, we were warned about it, and we ignored it. But nature is putting her foot down and we are to heed her warnings and take strong actions.

It is also interesting that with the world quarantined with no immediate correction in sight, we are in an unexpected position of reinventing everything we do and even starting some solutions from scratch. We need to become very innovative and creative. We need to look at all our current choices from this new perspective. We need to question all of our former choices. We are to take giant steps into the new technology and innovative discoveries. We have to let go of the way it was because it’s not going to be that way again. And that can be scary. And exciting. And challenging. It’s time to be creative and innovative and look for entirely new ways to provide a service or a product.

We can do that. We just have to identify a need and begin to provide an innovative answer. Put on your creative hat and go exploring. Be open to the oddest of ideas. Who knows what is needed in this New Consciousness? We have some exciting creating to do.

What does this New Consciousness want from us? What does it need from us?

The overarching energy shift is the rise of the feminine. That means the qualities of flexibility, creativity, compassion, and a great deal of determination. This feminine cycle has just begun and it has many centuries in which to develop. We are here at the beginning of the rise of the New Conscious.

What is our role?

I first became aware o the Transformational Community in the 80’s when I lived in New York City. I was definitely a part of it as I became a Reiki Master Teacher and worked with those affected by the beginning of the AIDs epidemic, but I didn’t see it as a revolution, a major change, I was just ecstatic to find like-minded people to learn from and work with. The idea of a new consciousness was not in our vocabulary. That seems to have emerged in the last few years. And I am forty years further into whatever you want to call this major shift in consciousness.

Not everyone is going to move into this New Consciousness. They may not ever be aware of it or have the tools to make the necessary changes in themselves. And we have to make that OK. Those of us who are aware of subtle energy, who experience ourselves as belonging to an over-arching vibration of oneness, have work to do. We have to contribute positive energy to this expanding field of the energy of Oneness.

We are to continue to raise our vibration. We do that with intention and energy work. I have become more aware of the power of our collective vibration as I am honored to have people from all over the world join the Deeper Song Community. I once had a Reiki client say she had found me by tuning into my energy in the New York City phone book! Energy is a powerful connector.

The fact is there are a lot of us that are mooning into this New Conscionssness but there are more people unaware of the need to raise our consciences than people who are.

So part of our role in the New Consciousness is to shine our light so others see it and recognize it in themselves.

According to HeartMath.org every thought in our heart connects 100 thousand hearts around us. We have planetary work to do and we have the ability to do it.

We are in a period of conscious change and those of us who are aware of this unfolding change have work to do. We must raise our own vibration. We must raise our consciousness. And we must shine our light into the world so those who are aware of the own light within can find us and become part of the group consciousness.

Our path is underway. It is evolving and it is attracting more and more conscious seekers.

Notice the dramatic changes around you. Notice the subtle change around you. It’s like a new bud that suddenly bursts into full bloom and its fragrance begins to permit the entire garden.

We have to balance our conciseness and keep it balanced. We have to change and keep changing. This is a time of evolution and it is all about welcoming change – letting go of what no lobe serves us, repurposing the gifts we have been given, and allowing our minds and our imagination to soar. We are to follow this new path, this path that asks us to leave behind our old ways and move into an adventure that takes us places we have yet to imagine.

It is a new world unfolding and we have changes to make.

This time is truly is about creating a “New Consciousness.” I know that I create my reality through my thoughts. I know that my words and beliefs and actions determine my experience. I know how to change that. I have begun to be more aware of my choices, my words, and particularly my beliefs around what is possible. And I try to stay very, very, very flexible!

So here we are, ready and willing to embrace this New Consciousness but without any real idea of the steps to take let alone how to know if we are on the right track.

This is enormous change. There is a faint trail forming as others find creative ways to raise their consciousness and raise the vibration of our collective Field of Light energy.

This new trail we are traveling shows us a powerful need for change and a need to rapidly adapt to the new surroundings that are unfolding.. There can be turmoil and uncertainty in change. And it can also be very freeing.

There is discovery in change. There is re-evaluation n change. There is choice in change. There is patience involved with change. Most of all, change allows us to reach a new state of consciousness, a new state of being. And that is what many of us want.

We have to trust. And we have to keep looking. I know this [art of welcoming and embracing this New Consciousness, this new State of Being is about each of us raising or vibration. We do that through intention. And we monitor our beliefs and actions and words to make certain they keep us on this higher plane.

It is our responsibility to change ourselves in order to change our world.

We begin by examining our beliefs of what is possible.

In order to manifest a new state of consciousness, we have to manifest change within ourselves, here in our human expression. That means we have to examine and question our beliefs, our attitudes, our understanding, and our actions.

How do your actions need to change?

This is a time that asks for great flexibility, great curiosity, the willingness to try new things, and diligent creativity when it comes to bringing new ides life.

We are still in the early stages of developing a New State of Consciousness but the momentum is building rapidly.

What does“a new state of consciousness” mean to you? What are we building?. How do we do that? Who is doing that? How do we find and recognize each other? And most of all, what will the New State of Consciousness look like? And feel like?

My personal primary goal is to continue to raise my vibration – whatever the looks like and feels like and however I find to do that. I use powerful tools like intention, shamanic journeying, mediation – physical things like Qi Gong and music and dance – a spiritual practice built on all the myriad of spiritual practices I have explored and included in my life. There are many ways to raise our awarenss and our vibration.

So I study and go where I am called. Then I turn and share with others what I discover.

There are others on this unfolding path. We may call ourselves transformational thinkers, or light-workers, or Transcendent Leaders, but there are many of us and we do recognize each other and are creating powerful international groups with very high intentions.

As I continue to raise my vibration it is going to resonate with others who are also consciously raising their vibration and we may even support each other in our journey. Raise your vibration and see how your life changes.

So we know the New Consciousness, the New State of Being is already here.

We know that we need to change our thoughts and beliefs and actions to continue to raise our vibration to be a useful participant in this New Conciseness.

How do we find others and walk the path with them?

The idea that not everyone will move into this New Reality, this New Consciousness, disturbed me a bit when I thought about it from my human perspective. Then I found some numbers. There are about 80 million people who are in the Transformation Community but there are 7.8 billion poplins in the world. We are outnumbered but collectively we are very, very powerful. And of course, not everyone is going to be drawn to this New Consciousness, this new State of Being.

We have to go where we organically congregate. We get to find each other online in classes and events and FaceBook groups that are energetically gathering to create change in our panel. We enthusiastically participate and we find others walking this same path as like-minded light-bearers.

I have seven friends with whom I speak or write to regularly. Each friend both nurtures and challenges me. We help each other grow stronger and stranger and our light shines more brightly. Cultivate new like-minded friends online and walk this unfolding path together.

Stay aware. Stay open. Be flexible. Explore the myriad of new possibilities that are evolving. This New Convinces is a work in progress and we are part of that work.

We are developing a new State of Being and it will be awesomely beautiful as well as very, very different.

As I work on raising my vibration, expanding my awarenesss, moving into broader service, and constantly work on changing myself, I have a different effect on the world around me. It is more powerful It is more profound.

I walk the earth with a more conscious footstep. I interact with others with a deeper awareness of our core connection. I recognize our similarities.

And that changes the response of the world around me.

We are developing an expanded vibration.

We are to become centered, aware, with an ever-rising vibration – that’s how are to walk the earth now. We are to be more mindful of nature – our own unique and valuable place in nature, the gifts nature brings to us, our interactions with nature, our role in nature. And most of all we raise our awareness of our oneness with the vibration of All.

In my spiritual practice, I sit and consciously raise my vibration through intention.

In my spiritual practice, I experience myself as an integral part of the light field of consciousness that surrounds our planet.

In my spiritual practice, I see other light beings look up and see us hold that steady light and recognize it in themselves. They make a choice and come join is. The field of light grows brighter.

It isa powerful sight to see.

This group, this transformation group then turns to the future. We set down the beliefs and habits and expectations of our old reality and with our lights shining brightly and steadily, we move along the path in that leas to our New Conscious. Our Next. Our Future.

Cultivating a New State of Consciousness will create a New State of Being. How are you going to begin? How are you going to continue?

The New Consciousness, the new State of Being is already here.

When I raise my gaze, I see the new path, the new horizon. I choose that path and move forward with strong purpose and deep trust.

When I approach someone in a high vibration I move within so we are talking heart to heart. When I work, I put my whole self into what I am doing. Gibran says, “Work is love made viable.” I make my love more visible.

Cultivating a New State of Consciousness will create a New State of Being.

How are you going to begin? How are you going to continue?

DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

I begin now to create a new state of consciousness and a new state of being by changing myself.

HEART MESSAGING OUR WORK IN THE WORLD

According to Heart Math,org every thought in our heart connects 100 thousand hearts around us.

Center yourself in your own heart with a breath.
On an exhale feel our hearts expanding with positive, loving feelings. With an awareness of our Oneness.
Join our hearts in the here and now. Feel our collective power of love and connection. Feel it gain power and expand.
Join our hearts to the Light Grid and send our focused, collective positive heart energy, our transformational heart energy to move through the grid. Connecting all. Raising the vibration of all.
We are in that grid, we are part of it, we are connected with it We are that light grid. With that awareness of our oneness, accept our combined blessings and bring them back into your own being. Let your self be filled with this enriched, emp \owered, raised energy, Allow your vibration to rise. Be present with how you feel.
We close with gratitude for this time of sharing and support.
We move back into our lives connected,. heart to heart, soul to soul.
May we alwasy serve a higher purpose.

I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect and insights and encouragement for your next steps.

The River of Time – The Discovery

An Exploration of the Unseen World

I was on a shamanic journey and I had a very powerful healing experience that opened up great opportunity to return and do more deep healing and discovery. I want to share that experience with you.

I have returned a few times to this healing place and each time more has been released. I am not clear what has been cleared and cleanses, I simply know that it has.

Granted, each metaphor in a shamanic journey is for us to interpret, but this is a powerful concept that I know will guide you into an amazing experience.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song I shay my Discovery of The River of Time.

Shaming journeying is a form of mediation. We go to our Sacred Garden, which represents aspects of us, and are given metaphors as messages that only we are to interpret.

The message of the River of Time is for all of us.

It’s always a powerful experience when we learn to release an unknown blockage – an unknown belief.

And because you do not know the specifics, you lean to trust – trust the process – trust the healing – trust that the necessary blockages and beliefs will be released – and trust your interpretation of the metaphors.

You become very observant of the sublet changes that manifest from this experience of releasing.

This particular journey does all of that.

I did not know this was a healing journey until it simply was. I don’t ever remember my intention but it turns out this journey was about releasing and clearing and clearing. Here was my experience.

I went into the meditate state of a Shamanic Journey.

I found myself by a river. It was flowing from my left to my right. It was not deep. It was clear and I could see the smooth water-worn rocks beneath the gently moving water. I stepped into the shadow part of the river. Immediately I saw dark colors move out through the bottom of my feet. I felt nothing, no emotion, no sense of release, I just saw it go. Something was leaving me, something no longer wanted or needed. I mentally reached out through the bottom of my feet and content with Gaia, earth, the molten cleansing core, and brought that powerful energy to help continue the exodus of whatever was leaving my body through the soles of my feet, streaming into the shallow water. I stood there for a long while. The black color I was releasing though my feet became grey, and then a more smoky in color.

Still standing in the shallow water, I opened myself up to my Soul Star. Immediately powerful energy came in through my crown and gradually moved from my head through my body and out my feet, Again clearing and cleansing and releasing as it went. I did not know what it was clearing out I simply stood there and accepting that release of what was no longer needed in m life and in my body..

Then I was moved to sit down in the water, up to my neck, my arms around me knees. Immediately more blackness came out of the right side of my body ,being carted away by the water that was flowing from my left to my right. I felt nothing. I just watched it move out of my body and knew I was being cleansed and healed and rebalanced. The color went form black to dark blue to ever increasing lighter colors until it was iridescent – fun of rainbows.

Now here’s the part I have not yet interpreted. A very large fish showed up to my left, she was gold and she simply smiled at me. I have no idea what that meant. I have a feeling she is a new helping spirit but I do now know her role.

And at that moment I knew I was in the River of Time and I was releasing stuck energy from the past and the present and was clearing the way for my next, my future. Clearing cleaning, releasing. All from simply sitting in the River of Time.

What powerful gift. A way to let go, to make room for. How extraordinarily freeing.

I have been back to the River of Time several times since, sometimes with a specific request, sometimes just to offer myself for a clearing of whatever needs to be released at this moment. It is a very powerful journey. This is a very powerful healing metaphor because it lets you release the unknown – the unknown blockages, or wounds or… It just lets you – let go.

This journey allows you to trust. To trust that whatever is rebased is what needs to go and you don’t have to know exactly what it is.

I did not have a plan for releasing anything. It just happened. What I released is still unknown to me but because of its color and how the color gradually lighted in color, I interpreted that to be healing. A release. A cleansing.

I have never gone to the River of Time with an intention to heal a particular experience or wound, but I could. I could set an intention and go to the edge of the river and see what I was invited to do. I may be invited to toss in what I want to release into the River of Time. I may simply put my fingertips into the river. Or I may dive clear in over my head. Whatever happens, it is a metaphor for change, a metaphor for releasing what is no longer needed or wanted or even releasing blockages that are unknown.

I still do not know what the big gold fish as about, but she defiantly smiled at me.

So we have a metaphoric healing process that lets us release the unknown, that encouraged us to trust that what is being released is beneficial.

Ans we get to trust the process, the experience and notice what changes manifest.

I have been back to the River of Time in a journey several times. I have gone with a specific intention to release a blockage in my body. It is a welcome place, a soothing place, a clearing place and place of change. My River of Time has fluffy cumulus clouds reflected in it. There are birds singing in the surrounding forest, there is sun shining on its surface. When you journey to the River of Time notice the landscape around it, the direction the river flows, what you are called to do. Let the River of Time lead you into this clearing process that will be unique to you.

I like the idea of the River of Time. It means I can go back into time and heal from a timeline of the past. It means I can take positive action in the present moment that will clearer the energy for my future timelines.

Use your imagination. Remember that everything in your journey is a metaphor that only you are to interpret. Let the River of Time guide you and heal you and use it often.

I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect and insights and encouragement for your next steps.
Pause to be with what we have explored. See what portals have opened up for you. Where you will go exploring next. This is a Journey of Discovery and we walk this part of the path together.

The Path We Choose

An Exploration of the Unseen World

We are responsible for the journey we take. We are responsible for the path we choose. We choose what we bring with us in our backpack and we are responsible for how willing we are to keep going.

Years ago, when I left the Mid-west to move to New York City, a friend gave me a copy of the Robert Frost Poem “The Road Less Traveled.” 50 years later it still hangs on my wall. It has lived on both coasts and is now back the Mid-West – a circuitous route, truly a road less traveled.

And I am forever grateful that I had the courage to take the Road Less Traveled.

We make our choices. We reap the response. With each choice, we learn how to choose better and we keep on going.

Where are you on your journey? What new options are you considering? Where are you headed?

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song, we think about The Path We Choose.

This is a translation of a poem by Antonio Machado. When I first heard it I cried. It is called “Traveler.”

Traveler, your footsteps are the road
There is nothing more.
Traveler there is no road.
The road is made by walking.
Walking makes the road.
And if you turn around you only see the path you can never walk again.
Traveler, there is no road, only a trace of foam upon the sea

Let me read it again:

There is a sadness about never going back. There is a challenge in knowing your next step is creating your new path.

Let’s see hat we can learn from this poem:

What is our read made of? What choices have you made that brought you to where you are today?

How do we make our road? If each step is responsible for creating our path, how aware are you of the next step you are taking?

Finally, what are our choices about directing our path? How do we make them? How do we choose?

What is our read made of?

“Traveler, your footsteps are the road
There is nothing more.”

With each step, we create the path we take. Our choice directs were we go next. Now that is very important to know. That means that in every move we have choice . Choice to go one way or another, we get to take the path that goes up or the path that goes down or left or right or straight ahead.

With each step in each moment, we are creating our path. Each thought creates our next experience. We can control that. The deeper the awareness we have of our own heart, our own purpose, the more aligned is the step we take as we make our road one chosen step at a time.

Do we stand still on our road? If only footsteps make the road, then standing still to consider, to contemplate before we choose our next step is a good thing to do. But we don’t move forward until we take that next step. That next step creates our road.

How do we make our road?

We have created where we are stanging today through the choices we did or did not make. I am deeply aware that some of my choices were made with more awareness than others. And some steps were taken in response to an experience. We each create our own path by the choices we do or do not make. The steps we do or do not take.

“Traveler there is no road.
The road is made by walking.
Walking makes the road.”

If I stand here doing nothing, I am not traveling, I am not moving forward. “The road is made by walking.” So I have to take a step. I have to make a choice. I have to put one foot in front o the other and look to see where it has taken me. I have to see if it is aligned with my beliefs and if it is taking me where I want to go, to what I want to do.

I can only move forward by taking a step, and then another step and then another step. “Walking makes the road.”

We need to try, we need to explore, we need to experiment. We have to move forward in order to learn, to understand, to experience, and to absorb. That’s a lot from one step. But even one step provides us with a new view.

“Traveler there is no road.
The road is made by walking.
Walking makes the road.”
And we cannot walk the path again .”

There is no going back. What’s done is done. Learn from it, change from it, and build on what you learned – but you cannot go back and change it .

“And if you turn around you only see the path you can never walk again.
Traveler, there is no road, only a trace of foam upon the sea.”

How delicate is our journey. We have left ripples with our footsteps but those ripples are long gone. We have survived the high seas of our journey, the high tides, the low tides, but there are no traces of our path, our footsteps, our traveling though left to see. Only in your heart, only in your memory, only in your regrets only in your knowledge that you made good choices. You walked a strong path. And those steps of the past are not your next step. They are gone. Past moments in time that has dissolved.

It’s as if we are standing on a ledge of time with only a next step to take. We can choose a new direction. We can choose a big step or a small step, a hesitant step, or a bold one. We can go in one direction or the other. But the only way our road unfolds is if we take a step.

Here’s the Robert Frost that still hangs on my wall and live in my heart.

The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Traveler, there is no road, only a trace of foam upon the sea

I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect and insights and encouragement for your next steps.
Pause to be with what we have explored. See what portals have opened up for you. Where you will go exploring next. This is a Journey of Discovery and we walk this part of the path together.

The Unseen World Needs Us

An Exploration of the Unseen World

I was surprised when I realized that The Unseen World needs us – it needs us to translate, to pass along their messages and teachings and guidance. We need to learn to pay attention. We need to learn to understand.

I use shamanic journeys to explore the unseen world. I know that the objects I see are metaphoric messengers and that is one of the ways the Unseen World communicates. How it guides us, how it teaches us. The Unseen World needs us in order to share its wisdom. We are their translators and interpreters of the Unseen World.

95% of All That is is Unseen. Not only do we need to go exploring, but we need to learn to bring back the message we are given. We can help the Unseen World communicate with us here on the planet? One of the ways they guide us with their wisdom is when some of us go to the unseen world and learn to interpret what we are shown.

That’s why we are seen as transformative leaders. We are to go to the Unseen world and bring back guidance and insights and interpret them for our planetary experience. We can do that.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.

In this episode of Reflections of a Deeper Song, we give some thought to Why The Unseen World Needs Us

I was very surprised when I heard the idea that the Unseen World needs us. It was in a shamanic group I am in lead by international Shamanist Hank Wesselman. He shared the idea that there is a vibational force that is huge but it is largely ignored by people on the planet. But it has major, important, valuable guidance to give us, that we must learn how to gather and how to share.

We are messengers. We are interpreters of the Unseen World.

We have work to do.

I don’t know where I heard that 95% of the universe is unseen. In fact, I think as actually 94% and who is measuring and how? But the fact is there sure is a lot we have to explore and try to understand.

It begins with our intuition, that subtle but powerful “knowing” our next step. That hunch that turned out to be right on.

We have all daydreamed or visualized at some point. That is the Unseen World speaking to you. I use shamanic journeys to visit the Unseen World and know I am to interpret the metaphorical messengers from the unseen World to receive the messages from the Unseen World. There are many ways to explore the Unseen World and our charge is to interpret it. To be one of its voices, if you will. Then we are to live hat we learn and also turn and share what we understand. We become messengers, interpreters. We are to be a voice for the Unseen World.

What can we do to turn the wisdom we receive from the Unseen World into an individual awareness, individual understating, individual application here in our body personal?

Let’s explore what the unseen world is and how we know it is there. What kind of messages it may want to offer us and what we are to do with those messages?.

What is the Unseen world and how do we know it is there?

What makes things grow? What makes the weather change? What makes the stars in the galaxies? What is beyond what we, here in a planetary presence can even imagine?

My understanding is that we are all part of a vast Oneness. Call it the Great Mystery, The Void, The Nowhere That we Came Form, All-That-Is, Tao. The name of it needs to be non-human, it needs to be so indescribable that we cannot restrict its power and capability by trying to describe it in the limiting vocabulary of being human.

We do it though open stillness.

The more I listen to the Unseens World, the clearer the messages become. My best writing comes when I close my eyes, listen to the words I hear from my inner voice, and type what I hear. I listen to the words that are being moved through my fingers knowing that I am being guided by the Unseen World as a messenger from them – to you, to us, to whoever listens.

Of course, none of this is provable to us here in our limited physical presence. But, we know. We know there is more. We know that we are limited here on earth. And we know that a major core part of us is part of something greater, more inclusive, more unknowable. We are not separate, we are elements of a greater whole.

So we start here, where we are, and move inward.

We need and welcome the wisdom and guidance of the Unseen World What do we offer it in return? Why does it need us?

We begin to explore the unseen world by first listening to our intuition. As we listen more closely to our inner voice the more we trust it and respond to it. The more we listen the more we hear. What kind of messages does the Unseen World want to share through us? How do we help it be heard?

We have a body We have a mind, we have words, we can communicate with other humans. The unseen world has none of that so we are truly messengers, interpreters of the Great Vastness. We just have to learn to listen.

The more I listen the more I hear. I did not plan to create this particular podcast script I just knew I needed to write it down so I could figure it out. So there I sat, typing away, listening as hard as I could to my inner voice and wondering what would show up next. I listened. And I was given what to say. I, Cara Lumen, sat there in my body, with my eyes are closed and my fingers transcribing as fast as the ideas came in. I was listening to and hearing the Unseen World share with both of us, with me, with you. I am a translator, an interpreter as I figure out ways to apply what I learn.

You can hear the Unsend Word when you pause and listen.

I think the Unseen World speaks to each of us a bit differently because we are sitting here in our individual personas with different skill sets and interests and callings. We are looking for different things. We are given different insights. So when we ask, we are given work that fits with what we are capable of doing, what we are called to do. We get to choose if we help or not but it’s exciting when we do choose to become the voice of the Unseen World.

What are we to do with these messages we receive from the Unseen word? That depends on who they are for.

I listen because I am a passionate learner. I am curious. I am excited about what I am finding. When I am given a message fro the Unseen World, I love to turn and figure out what it means for me, for us, and then I turn and share what I learn with others. In a way, I’ve been doing that most of my life – the exploring part at least. But I’m 87 now and have a lot of stored-up experience and insights and can make some very interring connections from one point to another. It’s great fun actually. So we serve where we are called. You may be called to focus on one particular aspect. Do that. You may be called to explore a lot of pieces and figure out how to put them tougher. Do that. I just keep going deeper, being drawn to explore and interpret what I am shown, the insights I am given.

You will know. The unseen world will tell you how you are to serve.

There are many ways to explore the unseen world mediation, dreams, journeying, chanting, dancing, art, whatever form, it takes you to a vibration higher than your body so you can experience and recognize the part of your that is Unseen, the part of you that is being shown and taught and guided by the Unseen World.

How do you do that?. How do you explore the unseen world? Begin with your intuition. Begin to notice unusual circumstances that show up. Do an intentional shamanic journey and ask what your role is, what you are to share, how you are to share How are you to serve as an interpreter of the Unseen World? Then figure out how you, in your individual planetary expression are to turn and share what you have learned with others. Perhaps you teach, perhaps you simply live what you have learned as an example. Perhaps you simply absorb what you learn and build on it for another time.

We are messengers. We are messengers that the Unseen World needs. Be in service. Go listen. Interpret what you are shown. Figure out how to apply it to body being and then teach it share, it, live it by example – whatever you are called to do in your own self expression.

The Unseen World needs us. We are its messengers. Let’s go exploring and learn to interpret and share its messages.

By the way, I just got a message from the Unseen world, it said, “Good job, Cara, thank you o for listening. Thank you for sharing. Ashe.

Think on that and see where it leads you.

I hope I brought you some new awareness, deeper ways to connect, and insights and encouragement for your next steps.
Pause to be with what we have explored. See what portals have opened up for you. Where you will go exploring next. This is a Journey of Discovery and we walk this part of the path together.
