‘The Art of Being’

This is a topic that we are all going to have to revisit and revise our understanding on, probably for some considerable time to come.  Consider me also, therefore, a layman on this subject but know that my guides and my higher-self, who steer this blog, feel it is important to address, and are far more capable than I am at explaining it.  I’m not unconscious at my keyboard, but this adaption that I referred to at the end of the last blog is so immense that I can easily become silent in the assimilation of this knowledge, as is the way with most new knowledge when we’re busy processing the enormity of it.  Like most of you, I am finding adaption to the status quo to be something of a challenge to navigate, and the common ground to which underpins the existence of this blog to each of us.  It’s not that I don’t feel ready for the challenge - I do, in fact I think I’ve been ready for most of this life time – it’s more a case of applying logic and reason to reality and finding some content and meaning to it.  So, with that in mind, I am going to expand on what I’ve already said which will, hopefully, enable comprehension to a more penetrable degree.  Theory is seldom useful unless we can apply it to practice; failing that it just becomes patronising and unobtainable.

This isn’t a repetition of the 1st blog; it’s more expanding on it.

Recapping on the seams I mentioned previously, with a new ‘stich in time’ sown into the mix, although the seams at this time remain unsown and also largely unknown, and that in itself is part and parcel of the navigation - the bits in between – which naturally occur when we go through any change in life. The over familiar path eventually wears itself thin and unravels in preparation for the new thread to be woven into the picture.  It is our soul’s willingness to accept the changes due that forces the hand of the human side to follow, even though it can, and frequently does, argue the toss for a lot longer than it needs to and why the windows of opportunity afforded to us are many. But, when we do ‘concede’ – and that’s generally the feeling that arrives with the inevitable residing decision to get on with things – this is the very moment that these fresh threads begin to form, eventually becoming the new familiar, before repeating the cycle of old and new.  It is our conscious decision to accept ‘what is’ that enables new growth.  Like I said before, you don’t have to like it – quite frankly you’d be breaking the mould if you did – but you can find a way to ‘be’ with it.

What this means is that there are multiple workings going on simultaneously. The difference to the embeddedness or established status quo on the tract and where we are now, crossing the tract, is exactly that in itself.  For example; and normally speaking, we are happily getting on with the business of life whilst the framework within which we carry out these learnings is a structured and established one (to us).  Meaning, that the changes within our own hems occur yet those on the molecular structure remain largely unchanged – or to a manageable degree at least.  But, all of that shifts when we reach either of these two key points on the tract, where we are dealing with an entire unravelling across the fine line that separates the two states of existence– almost like a tear down the middle and that, in conjunction with your own coming apart at the seams, is the optimum of transitioning.

The problem is; it doesn’t feel optimum.  In fact, it feels completely the opposite – to our human selves.  Our soul selves are pretty settled with the matter and that’s the importance of relearning how to connect with ourselves now.  Whilst our human selves are blundering and stumbling about wondering how we reconcile this transition with our version of reality; even if we know about this time, even if we understand it - we are nonetheless scratching our heads wondering how we can function without frustration and learn some much needed tolerance within the presence of those around us who appear to be completely oblivious to it all.  And that assumption that they can understand it, or do but don’t want to, isn’t necessarily so. It’s more a case of not being ready for this change, and that truth extends to those who have perceived themselves to be ready, but have come, or will come, to the conclusion that they are not.  There is no one exercise, no matter how great or small, that can define a point of evolution.  Like everything in life, at every single stage and at every step of the way, there are degrees within degrees and depths within depths.  We cannot push the point and we certainly cannot decide it for others – that’s not our place or our business.  As much as it may frustrate us to be around, even those we once thought of as ‘on our level’ and have since found out not to be so – and that number will increase not decrease as we progress on our paths –  it still doesn’t tally to any one event or incident that could possibly define the disparity between us.  It’s like layers of an onion; we can only see what is available to us to see at that time and, the truth is, it was there all along.  In other words, it’s not personal, so don’t make it personal.  

The biggest complaint I hear now is the wrestling of frustration with others who ‘don’t get it’.  If you are a sensitive, this sensation will be a familiar one to you, but it’s more so than it used to be because the list of people who we can speak to has shrunk, considerably.  If you feel as though you are speaking to a brick wall it’s because you are.  This is the fine line I spoke about that has two points on the tract, one of which we have just recently crossed over after the last tear of the threads occurred on the 21/12/2020 = 33/4 (to be really exact about it) which divides one side of the coin from the other, but it does not facilitate a pathway for everyone present on this plane to cross.  The line, the hem itself, has ripped, but there is another set of calculations beyond the old ones and this determines and identifies those who do, and who do not, belong in the new presence.  Those who do not belong – which simply means it is not their time – won’t have the formulae to find compatibility with it and so renders them incapable of adaption. No-one can change this.  It is within the soul’s DNA and has been defined long before this incarnation occurred.  The new presence for your perception of reality is invisible to them. They might sense something is amiss, they might even have a conscious awareness of it, but they won’t be able to do anything with it, and neither will we. 

This in no way implies that we ignore blatant wrong doing, nor does it mean that we aren’t meant to challenge certain ideas out there, of course we are.  But there is a distinction between actively being of use in areas of life and stopping short of expecting others in our world to join in with our understanding on these matters i.e., letting things be.  As I said in my first blog, there is plenty to tackle – and some have been busy doing exactly that over recent years, and will no doubt continue when the motivation is upon you again – as we all must when the soul asks this of us. The point of the exercise is to find a balance between tackling wrong doing when it’s right in front of us and not wasting time trying to get others close to us to see the purpose in it.  In other words, we don’t need to seek permission or approval to do what we feel is right but we do need to recognise and accept that our decisions may not be popular with others.  Our fight may not be their fight and vice versa.  Truthfully, the only way we can ever conceivably ‘know’ something is because we have learned what not to do in times gone by.  No one comes here armed or equipped with special knowledge that’s not afforded through the efforts of learning via experience.  ‘Mistakes’ as we call them, which are no more than repetitions of the same calculations that will eventually wear themselves thin through overuse, and reconciling the sum to enable that soul to either evolve or dissolve, is that soul’s business. 

This can be very tricky and may seem contradictory, so I will give you a working example:  Many years ago, when I was trying once again to get a family member to see whatever my point of view was on whatever matter had arrived on the table, an important exchange of words took place that set the tone for things to come. The member in question told me that “I must accept him the way he is as he had accepted others the way they were”.  I agreed with that statement.  What I did not agree with was that that acceptance rendered me choiceless.  My precise words in response to this were “yes, I do, but whether I wish to be around you or not is another matter entirely.”  This statement was met with silence – whether that option had not dawned on him before, or whether he believed that option would not dawn on me remains unknown and unimportant. The point is, the right to our individual decisions resided and remained with both of us. 

My new guide is very keen to teach me that “we are neither to condone nor condemn”, which – when we get our heads around this statement – can provide us with some relief because it means that it’s not our responsibility.  Taking action when necessary is correct, having an opinion is correct, but wanting universal approval as though it were a final judgement call is repeating the dogma of old.  We simply do not have that power – thank goodness. The problem, I realise, comes from the fact that we care for the welfare of others and it can feel extremely isolating having an awareness that others do not.  Or even worse, they do have it but refuse to do anything with it and that stems from fear.  Fear because when a soul decides to take responsibility for its accumulated (negative) karma, there is a switch inside that recognises this moment – let’s call it a conscience – and that door opens up for everything else behind it to be looked at, too.  Not in one go you understand, not even in one life time; it’s a long slide down the regressive path and the return journey will be a direct relative to that, but it starts the ball rolling nonetheless.  So, even though they may be ready to progress it may not be to your standards and it may not be in your presence and, if you’re part of that specific learning, it’s highly likely it won’t be either.  The road to ascension requires recognising that the purpose of a relationship has been served, there is nothing left for either one to acquire in ways of accumulating knowledge through this experience.  Letting go of our attachments, and what that means in terms of how much we distance ourselves, is directly equated to the soul’s objectives – on all parts.  It comes back to ‘discerning’ what is part of our learning and the benefits from that, and what is not. And this is what we are seeing now with all of these goodbyes - and the enormous resistance to let go of what was.

These souls, that we have known, liked, loved and loathed, will thus remain in our sphere to varying degrees, but beyond our reach. The divide on the tract maybe straight forward, but the reflection of it on this planet is not. Like a maze, it will weave its way amongst us in a pattern enviable to the most skilful of twiners; as impenetrable as it is malleable, just like the molecular structure itself.  We are, at this time, walking through a mirror where we can see ourselves quite clearly and everything just as it was on the other side – yet it is completely different.  It is reverted and inverted and everyone on the other side is as ‘untouchable’ to you as you are to them.  Neither one being able to reach the other.  This is, understandably so, a huge cause for much upset and distress amongst those who have passed through the point of no return, knowing on a soul level that your paths will not cross again, and that’s especially true for family members, for these are the very soul groups who we have played out these roles with for millennia.  You will also likely be the only one in the family or, if fortunate enough, one of very few who can still connect with each another.  And why this is the time now for tying up loose ends, for those of you who are ready to do so, and why there is so much intensive grief along with that.  It’s therefore important to recognise this fact and stop trying to pull or push others into spaces they do not belong in.  They cannot follow you anymore than you can stay with them and, if you try to do that, you will become very uncomfortable.

Zooming out of the nitty gritty and to gain a bit of perspective here;  this is one of the reasons transitions of this nature are so popular with soul’s who wish to achieve a decent level of learning, in whichever direction is suited to their requirements, and why so much help and assistance is needed through the presence of others who precede these times and, of course, are here to mop up any of their own affairs left prior to evolving some time ago; which means that their soul’s will require other soul’s to facilitate that process, just as those who belong to this dimension do.  So, it is not just the same set of energies appropriate to this component calculation who are clearing up matters within their remit and reach, but it’s also other energies, operating as they must do within the confines of the calculation afforded here, yet still linked to their natural habitual calculation whilst mingling with the rest of us, and all happening within the confines of this very small space.  This is why the population increases so much in the decades leading up to these times, and why it depletes rapidly (relative and relevant to those terms of measurements) after passing through the middle ‘rip’ that both separates and joins purpose to each other’s existence.

This is the (+) of souls and the (–) of souls, equating (=) to the natural equilibrium of summation going forwards, at each stage (incremental terms not leaps) that makes for a very messy and mixed body of energies, all connected by either similar or apposing purpose – yet incontrovertibly and inherently linked to one another’s learning - all pulling and pushing in every which way conceivable with a bid to break free or burrow further;  for the soul does only one or tother and we cannot be where we no longer belong.  The uncomfortableness I mentioned comes from staying stagnant and turning stale.  This isn’t the same as ‘being’ for that requires movement initiating from within.  In Psychology we understand that we have 3 choices in life; change it, accept it or leave it – and that each decision we make requires us to live (be) with it. 

This is the great paradox; it is simple yet far from easy to achieve.  It can feel elusive, impossible, and even out of reach, but this is the focus for the moment, on a grand scale, for everyone to find their new place on the board and to trust this space.  The molecular structure will continue to act as a fishing net, bringing everything up to the surface and returning energies (good and bad) to wherever they belong; ‘to the seed of origin’ to which they arose, and that’s going to continue regardless.  The universe doesn’t do this with any judgement - it simply delivers it.  “This is yours” is the message and that’s that.  We cannot change this process and we cannot help others work through their own mess, no more than they can help us with ours.  This, too, is the art of being.  To accept both good and bad in whichever format it takes.  It’s not there by accident; it’s there by universal finite calculation and the summing up of the matter.  We each own our individual pieces of the puzzle and, as I say, we cannot expect others to compute what is not in their formulae, their very nature, to compute.  This new presence requires us to pay attention to these things, without getting too hung up on the meaning behind it. We generally know what matters are for us to involve ourselves in and which are not - the soul makes that very clear – all we need to do is listen.

This is ‘The Art of Being’.
