    How the Universe Talks to Us

    Creating Conscious Connection

    Ashe
    (“Ah-Shay”)
     The Creative in me honors the Creative in you!

    Are you listening?  Are you looking?  Do you see the signs and signals the Universe gives you? Pay attention. 

    Sometimes we think of it as a coincidence. Sometimes we think of it as our intuition. There are many ways the universe talks to us, shows us what we are to do, and invites us to explore new possibilities.

    We are all one universal energy, a collective consciousness. So it makes great sense that what happens way over there I can experience and feel over here. At the same time, what I do over here affects you way over there. Psychiatrist Carl Jung called  the term synchronicity believing strongly that we are all intimately connected via a collective universal consciousness. So these nudges, these insights, this knowing, is a form of conversation with the universe. We need to listen. We need to pay attention.

    What do the signs and signals mean? Do they mean we are headed in the right direction? We are aligned? We are on the right track?  Or do they mean we are headed in the wrong direction? We have to go exploring, notice the signs that show up, notice the feelings that we have, and notice the ideas that keep developing into form. Listen to your inside world and let it guide you.

    You may or may not have consciously asked a question. It may be that the universe sort of nudges you and prompts  you by giving you ideas and insights that lead you in the right direction. At other times you choose to ask the meaning of what is showing up to determine if there is an action to take. Ask the universe for guidance. Asked for insights. It’s not about receiving specific answers, it’s about an awareness, a sense of knowing what is the right choice for you. It’s not even about understanding. It’s about a feeling of it being aligned. Use your inner guidance, your inner knowing, to help you choose the path you are to be on. As you move along the path, keep feeling, keep listening, keep watching for the universe to support your journey, to guide your path to help you make that turn in the road. Are you listening? Do you understand the questions you need to ask and the answer you have received? Perhaps journal the nudges that you get in order to clarify them for yourself. Perhaps you just learn to pay attention to the nudges and let them guide you in the right direction.

    I am now so tuned into listening to my inner voice that a single phrase can shift my awareness and even change my direction.  I turn to my computer to write and explore and expand on that concept to either share with you or apply to my own life. A phrase may come from the television.  It could be from an email, or a book, or the news. I explore the ideas the come from many forms but I always go exploring.

    Are you listening? The universe is speaking to you and it is speaking rather loudly. Pay attention.

    DEEPER SONG AFFIRMATION

    I learn to listen to the insights of the universe.

    DEEPER SONG PROCESS 

    1 – Pay attention.  Is it a coincidence?  Is it a repeated phrase? Is it the same idea suggested by several people at different times?  Those are nudges from the universe. 

    2 – Explore the synchronicity.  Look for the message Look for the guidance from the Universe.

    Your Role as a Visionary Harp

    An Exploration of the Unseen World

    I have always stood on my own. So much so that when I could use some support I don’t know how to get it. It wasn’t until I found the Circle of Light Beings in a Shamanic Journey that I began to understand how to remain a strong individual and also be a strong member of a group.  I was taught a large lesson on this journey, one that empowers me and strengthens my ability to stand alone. I’d like to share this journey with you.

    ===INNER WORK===

    Keep Listening

    Change has been coming for me for quite a while. And I recently understood what that change was to be in one huge rush of awareness. It was a breakthrough so great I could not have imagined it. It is a door opening so far beyond what I was looking for that I still don’t know what to do with it. I have already begun work to make it happen.  We are really going to go adventuring now. Hang onto your hat.

    ===OUTER  WORK===

    Enterprising

    To me “enterprising” means resourceful. It also means creative and original.  We need to be all of those in this changing world.  We need to approach all aspects of our life from a fresh and inquisitive perspective. Enterprising means to re-purpose. How do we do that? Give some thought to how you will be enterprising in your life. Then do more of that.

    ===DEEPEN  YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE===

    End Each Day with Mindful Gratitude

    There are many ways to close out your day but finding a way to reflect back and to offer gratitude clears your path to a healing night’s sleep. 

    I have created a small ceremony of closure in which I release what is no longer needed and offer gratitude for what I received, gratitude for what I did do, gratitude for what I came to understand.

    I have begun to journal as a way to end my day.  It makes me look back over my day and acknowledge the many gifts I revived.  

    I started a little journal on my computer. At the end of each day I write a little acknowledgment for the gifts I received and a few highlights about what I learned or experienced.  Then next week on that day, I get to remember the blessings I received ad how I have progressed over the week. Then I replace it with whatever happened that day.  So  every day I get to look at my day the week before and noticed how those insights and changes evolved. Then I look back over my day and write down what I experienced. I make it a point to look to see what I should release. It could be a concern. It could be scolding myself for not doing something. Release worry. Release whatever you need to let go of. And then look back over your day in gratitude. You can make this releasing ceremony more elaborate if you want to. I could play my flutes, for instance.   But I like this idea of keeping a short daily journal to reflect back over my day and I notice where I was a week ago and how those choices played out. Experiment with the form, but whatever form your offering of gratitude takes, create a conscious end to your day.  

    ===INSIGHTS===

    The Power of Dictation

    I am on a roll here with dictation. And I’m having a blast. As I dictate the newsletter, as I dictate the script for a podcast, I am waving my arms and energetically raising my voice in emphasis, and putting great passion in everything I say. It is extremely freeing and I know that it is influencing my work. Have you begun to dictate yet?  Give it a try.

    === DEEPR SONG  ADVENTURES ===

    Greater Heights – The Seven Rays and Beyond

    I am studying with the Peruvian Shaman Puma Fredy Quispe Singona and am gradually learning about the Seven Sacred Rays of the Pleiades and that has thrown open the door to a new level of my work.I am being rapidly propelled to heights I had never imagined.  The information is pouring in like a floodgate has been opened. I am sitting here taking journeys to the seven sacred rays as fast as I can in order to get their message to share with you.  But about three journeys in to my exploration of the seven ray I had  this tremendous aha moment that has just thrown open the door to a whole new adventure for all of us.  Never before in my life have I felt such a big shift in conscious awareness. It’s exciting! It’s new for me! And we’re going to go adventuring together!

    So I’m writing seven Ray journeys and I am writing about this new realization. I have to finish at least the drafts of all seven rays before I can start recording the series because I’m learning as I go. But this new pathway is like throwing open a door to a place I’ve never been before. And I’m taking you with me!

    The core purpose of these Deeper Song explorations is to deepen our understanding that we are a center  of natural wholeness and organic universality.  We are pure energy. We are the universe and we are to consistently com from that place of interconnected, interactive wholeness.

    You know, simple stuff….

    I don’t even know where we’re going. But we are going. We are going together. Stay tuned.

    FREE GIFT – Getting Your Feet Wet in Science of Mind PDF

    I wrote Getting Your Feet in Science of Mind in 1998. It was a gift for the members of my Foundations class at the Science of Mind Church in Santa Rosa, California where Reverend Edward Viljoen was my pastor. It was the first in a series of small booklets I wrote about metaphysical principles. By 2000 I was a licensed Spiritual Practitioner and began service as a teacher in Science of Mind. Those churches are now known as Centers for Spiritual Living. 

    This booklet went on to have a life of its own. It was sold in the church book store. It has been published in Spanish and Russian and excerpts appear on many websites of Centers for Spiritual Living.  I have created this PDF of the original booklet as a gift to all of you who are drawn to explore its message.

     Take Responsibility For Your Destiny

    You are where you are because you chose what you chose. Bummer. Or not. How is your life working out for you? Are you doing what you love to do? Do you have friends that support and encourage and nurture you? How’s your body doing? How’s your health? I personally have some work to do. My body is grouchy. And I’m the one that got it here and I’m the one that has to take care of it and make the changes I need to make. Only me. My responsibility. My results. My destiny. I am the cause and I am the cure. You are where you are because of the choices you made. Where you go next is caused by  the choices you make. Choose wisely. Take responsibility for your destiny and make conscoius choices.  You are creating your “next.”  How do you want that to be?

    Patterns

    I drew the Oracle card “patterns’”for us. Patterns show where we’ve been. And patterns can show where we’re going. Look around at what you have created. Look for the similarities. Look for the differences. Look for what calls do you. Look for where that pattern seems to be leading you. Look for the patterns that guide you to your next step. And be patient. For when it comes together it comes in with a roar. Watch the patterns. Let them guide you.

    When the Student is Ready the Teacher Appears

    I feel like I’ve been shot out of a cannon – the doors have been thrown open and my net path is not only clear, it is filled with exciting opposites and projects. 

    I am taking  my second online classes with Peruvian  Shaman Puma Fredy Quispe Singona and I  am eager to translate some of what he is teaching me to share with you in some form. 

    For someone who has been waiting for a major change to be made clear, I feel like I’m in a racing sailboat with my full sails catching the wind in the best possible manner. 

    I am creating a series of recorded Deeper Song Guided Journeys that  will explore the Seven Sacred Rays and some of the Dimensions and also provide guided experiences for self-healing and change.  

    The change is just beginning but I know where I am going — for now….

    Be open to change and when the doors open go for it!!!!

    TRANSCRIPT
    We Are One With the Whole 

    An Exploration of the Unseen World

    As we sit here in our individual planet personas it is a bit tricky to understand, let alone feel, that we are, in fact, one very, very large vibrational energy field.  Not a piece of it, but immersed in and incorporated in the whole.  

    But the truth is we ARE all one energy and with that comes both the power and the responsibility of wholeness. 

    Like you, I am working to not just understand that but to feel it and embrace my place in the Oneness, to be responsible for my presence in the Web of Oneness.  

    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’ are going to explore the concept that  We Are One With the Whole.

    From here in our human form, living our restricted human lives it’s a little tricky not to feel separate. In fact, we sometimes rather pride ourselves on feeling uniquely individual. But we are all one energy and to experience ourselves as individual is like trying to separate sunbeams.  We are all one all-encompassing energy. There is no you and me. There is no us and them. We are all one, all-inclusive vibrational energy. We just can’t always experience ourselves that way. 

    But when we learn to accept our oneness, to experience ourselves as an important aspect of the greater whole,  our perception of our role and our responsibility changes. 

    To be an observer requires being a separate form.  We are not separate from Oneness. We are not  separate from our Collective Wholeness.  So how do we figure out what Oneness is and what are role is in it? 

    Give that some thought. 

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

    How do we, from our seemingly separate vantage points, begin to experience ourselves as the Whole , The All-encompassing One Energy?

    As long as we are in our body there is a tendency to experience ourselves as separate. 

    We are to learn see ourselves as the energy field that we are, as one all-encompassing vibration. 

    The we need to understand that Since we are this all-encompassing wholeness,  then we am constantly experiencing it and expressing it.

    As long as we are in our human experience there is a tendency to experience ourselves as separate.

    The fact is, here in our body expression we need contrast in order to understand anything.  We need black to understand white.  We need up to understand down. We need contrast. How do we begin to understand and experience everything as One?

    I love being an individual. I love seeming myself as unique.  And in our human form we are unique expressions.  But when we feel unique we also feel separate. The metaphor of web of life doesn’t work for me because it makes me see myself as a separate strand.  I don’t want to feel separate.  I want to feel ONE.  I prefer the image of big part of the Cosmic Soup with my flavor adding to the well-bing of the whole. 

    Seeing our selves as separate makes us feel separate, makes us unable to access feelings of belonging or being included in the wholeness of, let alone being and totally merging with All-That-Is.  So the first thing we have to give up is our sense of being separate.  I only know how to do that in mediation or moments of deep contemplation the I release my awareness of my body.

    As long as we are identifying ourselves as humans we need contrast in order to understand anything. We need straight in order to perceive crooked. That’s why, we, in our human-ness, think of ourselves as Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine and therefore separate ourselves from each other.  When in fact, there is a feminine in the masculine and masculine in he feminine and energy moves in a constant cycle that contains both. 

    The Truth is we are one all one encompassing vibration

    Call it Tao, or All that Is, or the Nowhere That We Came From, it is the fundamental energy – It. Oneness.  There is no separateness.  There is no you and me, there is only One – Tao – All that Is – the Great Nothingness.  Let’s explore how we can know more about Oneness. How we can understand it.  How we can experience it. 

    There comes a point in most of my mediations that my awareness of my body disappears and I seem to float off to wherever I go.  Shamanic Journeying is my major mediation of choice, but I also experience that in  Transcendental Meditation which is mantra based and also disappears my body very radially. Mantras are good.  Mudras are good. Slow breathing is good. Sitting still in nature is good. Those are all methods to help you disappear your experience of being a body – a separate body.  They help you merge into the experience of ONE. 

    I like to use the word Tao to describe this oneness because it does not create an image for me.  It simply is a  fundamental, inclusive, non image-provoking word. 

    Tao refers to our all-ness,  our oneness. It is the fundamental non-body experience. When you experience Tao you are in every thing ,of everything ,You are everything. 

    How do we experience Tao?  How do we understand its concept? How do we feel it? How do we become it? There’s no becoming toTao.  We already are Tao. 

    Don’t fall into the trap of being the observer.  Be the be-er.  Be Tao. Be All-That-Is.  Just BE One. 

    Learn to immerse yourself in and merge with the Unseen World

    I use shamanic journeying to experience myself as being in and of the Unseen World. The Unseen World is where I  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 human expression. 

    In mediation, I can disappear my body and yet my mind is still here, one last thread holding me separate. With patience I can leave my awarenss behind and experience oneness.  I get better with practice.

    I want to bring this experience of Oneness more clearly into my human experience. To help me deepen my immersion in the Field of Oneness.  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. 

    Staying mindful of our Oneness 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, here in our body expression, can get to the Oneness of Tao. But we can keep practicing and we will get better at experiencing everything as one.

    When you begin to deepen  your connection with nature – the wind, the sun, the earth, – the gradual growth of a plant, the simple celebration of life cycles thoughout the flow of nature – you begin to release your awareness of you as separate and begin to immerse yourself in oneness.

    I like the world “tranquility.”   I create ways to experience tranquility. When I sit in a chair, and move deeply into  my inner experience, I begin to release all my body restrictions. I become tranquil.  It is a stillness that encompasses and embraces everything. It is All That Is. 

    I want to deepen that experience. I want to feel my awareness of “self”  merge with the Unseen World.  I want to experience that All-ness, that Oneness – and disappear me as a planetary presence in a body.

    I can do that when I allow myself to merge with the Unseen World. 

    We consider this concept on One as well as we can from our human separateness.

    And we can use our human-ness to merge with the Great All-ness, the Unseen World.

    So we are aware that as long as we experience ourselves as confined to our bodies, we will continue to experience ourselves as separate.  We don’t want that.  We want to experience ourself as one all encompassing vibration

    We are Oneness. With practice and focused choice, we can learn to experience ourselves as one.  It is from that stage of deep inner stillness that I began to feel and experience my absorption into the All.

    One of the ways I explore oneness is exploring the Unseen World.  There are many ways to do that.  We do it in our dreams.  We do that in our imagination, in  mediation, in shamanic journeying. 

    It is said that 95% of everything is unseen.  That’s means we are relying on 5% of what exists to understand and live our ives.  We have some exploring to do.  It is up to you to find your own path to the Unseen World. 

    It could be the sense of disappearing into the melody of a song.  It could be total absorption in a moment in which you are totally unaware of your separate body.  Sometimes when I write, my body disappears and all tat is left are my fingers typing what is being shared through me from the Unseen World, the part of the All-ness I have set out to explore. 

    But I also explore the Unseen World though Shamanic journeying where we are taught that whatever image shows up is a metaphor for something only we can interpret. I have guides and helping spirits that regularly  appear, and then sometimes I experience being asked to disappear my experience as a body and float in the Void and experience whatever I experience. I am given  messages and guidance when I go exploring in the Unseen World.  I have figured out that my job is to bring back the insights I am given and figure out way to apply them in the expression of our human constrictions.  Then share them with you.

    Find your own pathway to experience your essence in the Al That Is. You may lose the limitations of your body though singing or drumming or running.  You may lose your awareness of being a separate self in nature. Experiment and find your own way into the Oneness of All.

    Everything is One Energy

    Absorb this concept. Live this concept.  We are all ONE energy. 

    The vibration you put out affects the whole.  Begin there and monitor your thoughts and words and actions. Make certain they are for the highest good of all.

    Begin to see yourself reflected in the actions of others and the world around you. It is you coming back to you.  The energy you put out comes right back at you. You can control what you put out.  Make more conscious choices in all you say and do and think. 

    Become more aware of how you hold yourself apart. Begin to see others as a reflecdtion of you.

    Initiate more quiet time in which you allow your body to disappear as you move into greater connection with Tao. All That Is. The Emptiness That Holds Everything.  Disappear your body and Be present in One. 

     We Are One With the Whole. We ARE the wholeness.

    Deeper Song Process

    • Begin to notice your tendency to see yourself as separate rather than as one. 
    • Go to nature. In reflective silence let yourself experience an element of nature – a tree, a rock, the wind. Take time to lose your awareness of your body and merge with the nature element you have chosen. 
    • Notice how your body gradually disappears as you connect more deeply with the nature element 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 being one energy with everything and everyone  
    • Repeat frequently.

    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. 

    • 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. 
    • Ashe, The creative in me honors the creative in you.

    Build a Strong Bridge to Your Invisible Self

    An Exploration of the Unseen World

    When I first read that 95% of the world was unseen I was excited but I knew I had a great deal of work to do and I didn’t exactly know where to begin.  

    If just 5% of the universe is known to us, the other 95% can only be explored through our Invisible Self. What a great adventure!

    I’ve done a lot of exploring with and through my Invisible Self and I continue to find new ways to connect with and understand and get messages from the Unseen World. I use the meditative practdice of shamanic journeying and I go on amazing adventures.  I have learned over the years to move out of the way for automatic writing as I sit at my computer and let my fingers do the talking.  I trust those messages. I share those messages. I learn from those messages. 

    My job is to interpret the ideas and insight and metaphors I receive and bring back their messages to share with you. Now I want to help you Build a Strong Bridge to Your Invisible Self so  you too can go adventuring!

    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 o a Deeper Song we help you e  Build a Strong Bridge to Your Invisible Self.

    The more I explore the Unseen World, the less alone I feel and the more empowered I become.  We have a LOT of help in the Unseen world, we just have to connect wit it, to learn to listen  to its message and interpret the nudges and hunches, the sudden knowing and the metaphorical messages it gives to us. 

    The exploration of the Unseen World is an ongoing process.  As I continue to explore I find new ways to explore and discover  new realms to investigate.  

    My job, as I see it, is to ask the right questions, and then interpret the answers I get in a manner that we both can understand.  Then I figure out how to apply that information to my human expression and share that will you. 

    But we need to begin by understanding the difference between our body and our invisible self and how to listen to both.

    First we are going to explore 

    • how our body communicates with the Unseen World. 
    • Then we will help you identify your Invisible Self – what it is and how to intentionally communicate with it.
    • And finally,  we will discuss how the  Invisible Self can guide us and guard us. 

    So how doe s our body communicate with the Unseen World?

    I see our physical expression  ia necessary but restrictive aspect of ourselves.  It is the tool for communication that we use with others in a physical expression, but when we move within, we can hear and experience much, much more.  We can begin to communicate with the Unseen World

    We are very familiar with our body. It lives within the restriction of time and space. It is guided by emotion and our busy but limited mind. It goes through a cycle of aging. It’s how we identify ourselves. Yet, it’s only a small part of who we are: only 5%! We want to explore more than that!

    The Invisible Self is the all-encompassing energy that’s in and through and of everything. We first begin to know it through our imagination   intuition and our dreams. We can learn to consciously go exploring through our meditation, our  visioning and journeying. All are forms of inner awareness that lead us to the Invisible World.

    Both our body and the Invisible Self are part of our whole but they use different ways to communicate.

    One of the ways the Invisible Self communicates is through our emotions and thoughts 

    We rely on our mind and feelings for most of our awareness and understanding. Our mind and feelings are how we interpret the signs and signals from the Unseen World. And remember, this communication is limited because it is all our body is capable of doing.

    Our intuition and hunches are the first way we experience our Invisible Self speaking to us from Unseen World. 

    Fist we acknowledge that there is an unseen world. Then we work to free ourselves from the limitations of our mind and emotions.  Then we can learn to explore our Invisible Self.

    So what is our Invisible Self and how can we intentionally deepen our relationship to it?

    We are more familiar with our body than with our invisible self.  

    So what is this Invisible Self?  Where is it?  How do we access it?  Wha does it do?

    Since 95% of the world is unseen we, here in the confines of our body, get glimpses of the Unseen World but then we limit ourselves by  interpreting what we experience from the limitations of our human body. We just have to learn to communicate with  our Invisible self, our presence in the Unseen World and we have to ask the right questions in order to get the answers we seek. 

    The Invisible Self is eager to expand our relationships with it.  It has much to show us and tell us.  

    Think of a time when you acted on intuition alone – you simply had a strong sense of “knowing” what the right choice was in that moment. That was the Unseen World nudging you.

    My new wise saying is “The more you listen the more you will hear.”  We need to practice listening and we need to learn to interpret the sometimes subtle messages we receive.

    Any time you find a way to tune into your inner voice, your inner knowing, it will speak to you. You could do this through mediation, dreaming, journaling, visioning, sound, automatic writing – any way you find to free yourself up from the confines of your limited human body so that you can hear and begin to interpret the Voice Within. 

    I’m a writer and I’ve been listening to my inner voice for a good portion of my life but a few years ago some really outstanding phrases begin to show up as I typed.  They were so stunningly eloquent I just knew they were not from me. They seemed to come from nowhere and they surprised me.  I imagined a trio of bearded Shakespeare-type men sitting with quills pens over my right shoulder giving me these awesome phrases.  

    Gradually I realized it was only me, me and my inner voice. I had made room fo my inner voice to speak though my body by listing and writing down what it was saying.  My Inner voice  is very wise.  And comes up with some great writing! I welcome its messages. And the more I listen the more I hear and the better I am at interpreting it. 

    It might be considered a form of automatic writing, when you get your human self out of the way and start writing whatever shows up.  I se it as listing to my Inner Voice.

    Because I am used to capturing my ideas by typing, even when I do Shamanic Journeying, I type in what I see.  It is in metaphoric form and also provides actual messages of wisdom that I receive. I really, really like to journey.

    Shamanic journeying is the earliest form of meditation. It is a doorway to the Unseen World and it communicates by offering images that are metaphors only you are to interpret.  If you find a metaphor you do not understand, simply ask for clarity. 

    Since we’r going into the Unseen World, the first thing you do is set up your Transformative Shield. How to do that it in a previous podcast that is lined to in the show notes. 

    Then we go to our Sacred Garden in which everything there is an aspect of ourselves. We begin by asking a question of the Helping Spirts and Guides that await us. Make it an open ended question, not a yes/no question.  How would I…?  Why is…. in my life now? May I have clarification on…

    Move into contemplative silence to receive the answer. It might come as a symbol or internal words or even a simple certainly.

    Sit in stillness and ask a question you’d like guidance on. Allow yourself to move into a state of stillness and receptivity. Quiet your mind and see if you “daydream”. You may see images or experience a strong sense of knowing, or hear voices, or see forms.

    Those images are guides and helping spirits and messengers in metaphorical form. 

    Your job is to observe and interpret

    Trust what shows up. It may be in the form of am animal or an element of nature. It may be a talking rock or a talking butterfly, or a knowing look from an animal.  Go with what shows up. 

    Everything that shows up  is there to guide you and guard you and teach you.  These are all helping spirits just for you. You guidance may be a voice in your head. It’s you talking to you, so listen. It is your Invisible Self speaking to you.  

    I love to journey.  I am often very surprised at what shows up and I am definitely reassured by what continues to appear. 

    In my daily human body-confined life, I often get a loud voice in my head identifying an idea that resonates deeply. The minute I do, I immediately turn to my Invisible Self, my inner voice, my Inner World, and begin exploring – usually through writing – typing actually. I write to figure out what I hear, how I might interpret that and apply it to my life. And maybe how you might apply it to your life, too.

    Sometimes I explore the unseen world by holding a crystal,  experiencing its energy and in a meditative state, I simply flow where it takes me. I experience the  feelings and sensations that show up and notice how my Invisible Self interprets the signs and signals that appear in these meditative states. 

    Your Invisible Self will speak to you on many levels.  When I open myself up to choose a crystal, I get strong “crystal voices” saying, “Today it’s me.”  And when I choose it and sit with the crystal in my restiving hand, m left hand, I am inundated with powerful feeling and awareness of its power and its message. It may manifest as a sensation in my body or a thought or as simple knowing. The crystal is speaking to me.

    Learn to listen to the Inner Voice that is the Gateway to the Unseen World and trust what you hear.

    So we have explored how our body communicates with the Unseen World

    We have identified your Invisible Self – what it is and how to intentionally communicate with it.

    Now let’s explore the many ways our Invisible Self can guide us and guard  us.

    We now understand the difference between our body’s communication through emotions and thoughts and the more subtle inner knowing messages of the Voice Within. We know that metaphorical images is one of the ways our Inner Voice communicates from the Unseen World  And we have explored using Shamanic journeying to move more deeply into the Unseen World.  How do we interpret what we find? 

    The Invisible Self moves within the Great Mystery, the All That Is, The Vibration of Wholeness.

    Our human mind is limited by what it sees and feels and hears. It is limited in its ability to interpret because, well, it is interpreting though our body using only our emotions and our thoughts and our beliefs.

    Our Invisible Self lives in the Unseen World where there is no limitation – where all things are possible, where everything is connected, where we’re all one. We are to learn to know the difference. We are grateful for the miracle that is our human body and at the some time understand its restrictions and limitations. 

    When we go to the Inner World, the Unseen world we tap into our subconscious and we begin to experience our inner world as being more representative of what is possible.

    Trusting your inner voice will change your experience or being limited to the confines of a body. It is your portal to the Unseen World.

    Introspection is the beginning of hearing your Inner Voice. 

    Listen to your Inner Voice and learnt to  interpret how it speaks to you. Insights, hunches, words, images.  Learn to pay attention and interpret the subtle messages.  

    Become conscious of how you feel, what you want, where your passion lies, and follow that awareness. 

    Learn to hear and trust your inner voice – your hunches, your intuition, simply knowing the next move. Experiment with the guidance you receive in order to understand and accept the power of its messages from the Unseen World.

    Let your inner voice guide you to choices that are aligned with your Invisible Self, your Soul’s Purpose. Listen to your Invisible Self with you whole body and pay attention to the many ways you are guided.

    The Unseen World reveals itself only as far as we are ready to listen and to understand. 

    Whatever your experience it is exactly right for you in this moment. 

    Only through a gradual unfolding can the true depth of the insight be revealed. Allowing your life to unfold is an open invitation for your Invisible Self to send you subtle messages – the unexpected opportunity, the great idea that suddenly pops into your head. The unexpected encounter on the street. 

    This is the Unseen World guiding you. 

    Even barriers that show up are a way your Invisible Self tells you it’s not time for that step or it lets you know that particular action is not a good choice for you.

    When we focus on planning and setting objectives, we use only our limited bodies. AMake more more time for inner work. Learn to leave space for your Invisible Self to guide you with hunches and inner voice phrases. 

    So we know the difference between the limitations of our body and the broad reach of our inner voice. 

    We know that our inner voice comes form the Invisible world.

    And we know that when we listening to our inner voice it will guide us and guard us.

    What action do we need to take to bring that inner wisdom, that inner guidance into our limited body experience?

    We have to be willing to listen and we have to be willing to change.

    Think about it. If our body understands only 5% of what is possible, what happens when we let the 95% that is our Invisible Self have more of a say in what we do?

    Begin to consciously communicate with your Invisible Self

    For instance, you might have a Power Journal. Record your journeys, your feelings and the lessons learned from an experience or circumstance.

    By all means establish a time to Journey/meditate. Move into a meditative state with an intention or a question and learn to interpret the guidance that shows up.

    Become aware of the subtle nudges. Look for the unexpected circumstance, the sudden direction-changing thoughts and the voice in your head that offers guidance.  They are all messages from your Invisible Self.

    There’s much to explore in the Unseen World. I meditate with rocks and crystals and receive their message. I love to take my Spirit Guides on healing journeys in a mediative state. I am overjoyed with how ideas pop into my head, which I immediately explore. And I’m amazed at the sudden knowing that shows up, the certainty that this is the right step or direction. I accept that powerful guidance from my Invisible Self. The more I listen the more I hear.  Keep listening. …

    TRANSCRIPT

    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.   

    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 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.
