Podcast Episode: We Are Only One Song Away From Spring

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the astrological, the political, and the deeply personal all share one frequency, and somehow it holds together.

Mara: Today we’re working through a piece by Ari Joshua Bouse that moves across a lot of terrain — political transition, the Aquarian Age, disclosure, and the spiritual calendar between winter and spring. Let’s start with that overarching question of where we actually are right now.

We Are Only One Song Away From Spring

Pip: The frame here is a moment of overlap — a political transition happening inside a much larger cosmic one, and the question of how those two timescales interact when you’re trying to stay grounded.

Mara: The post anchors that overlap in the seasonal calendar, and near the end it lands on Groundhog Day specifically: “Meditation on the in between times, mystical, mysterious energies, inner planes, echoing silence, void, and heartbeat” are offered as the right callbacks for this moment.

Pip: So the upshot is that Groundhog Day isn’t a punchline here — it’s the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, and the post treats that threshold as genuinely instructive about how change actually moves.

Mara: Right, and that’s the structural argument running through the whole piece. The political relief of a new administration fades fast — the post is direct about that — because the chattering monkey mind starts up again quickly. The deeper shift is astrological: a move from the Pisces Age to the Aquarian Age, measured in millennia, not election cycles.

Pip: Which is a useful corrective to anyone who thought January 20th was the finish line.

Mara: The post makes a careful point there about the people on different sides of that political moment. It says that most Trump voters “are not Nazis, Klan members or racists” but have been shaped by a divisive mindset that pushes everyone toward an us-versus-them frame — and that neither progressive nor conservative values hold a monopoly on the way forward.

Pip: And then it pivots — genuinely pivots — into UFO disclosure, which lands as less of a detour than you’d expect, because the argument is that ET concern for Earth is tied to humanity’s development of nuclear weapons. The stakes are planetary either way.

Mara: The post treats disclosure as a process, not an event. And it closes with something practical: I-messages, feeling statements, the right to say “I feel offended by that comment” and stand there without having to defend it. Personal authority as the ground-level version of the same sovereignty the post argues for cosmically.

Pip: Spring is underground. It’s firing, just not visible yet — which is maybe the whole thesis in one image.

Mara: The thread through all of this is the in-between — politically, seasonally, cosmically. The darkness isn’t the destination; it’s the passage.

Pip: You can’t get to the light if you won’t go through the dark. We’ll be back with more from Classroom Mothership Earth.

Podcast Episode: Even on the Surface, Conscious Breathing has Great Depth

Posted on by under Consciousness

Cloudy skies loom over rugged cliffs and crashing waves along the coastline with a distant lighthouse.

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the dolphins have lesson plans and the moon has opinions about your breathing.

Mara: Ari Joshua Bouse writes here at the intersection of natural cycles, embodied awareness, and the kind of inner work that tends to surface when the season is turning. Today we’re looking at conscious breathing, dolphin intelligence, and what the body already knows.

Pip: Let’s start with the breath itself.

Even on the Surface, Conscious Breathing has Great Depth

Mara: The post opens with animal wisdom as a frame for self-examination — dolphin as guide, tide as teacher, and the question of whether we’re actually paying attention to any of it.

Pip: The post puts it directly: “Do you need to pay more attention to your intellectual development, or communication issues regarding the psychology of self in relationship?”

Mara: So the upshot is that the dolphin imagery isn’t decoration — it’s a diagnostic. The question is whether your communication patterns, internally and outward, are actually working for you or just running on autopilot.

Pip: And the prescription is almost comically simple, which is maybe the point — pause, breathe, think before speaking. The Military-Industrial Empire gets called out specifically as something that could use a deep exhale.

Mara: The post frames feminine energy as building sustainable momentum “gradually, gently and softly” — a direct counterweight to the force-and-projection model it’s critiquing. Emotional cleansing, dreamtime, releasing old wounds — these aren’t metaphors to set aside; they’re the actual curriculum.

Pip: There’s a seasonal anchor too. A Full Worm Moon, returning earthworms, maple sap beginning to flow, robins arriving. The breath practice lands inside a specific biological moment.

Mara: “Altered states and New Dimensions are accessed when inner sounds reverberate in outer manifestations.” The rhythm of the post mirrors what it’s describing — breath in, breath out, the inner and the outer in sync.

Pip: Right. And the closing image — masculine and feminine energies swimming together in synchronized waves by Spring Equinox — earns its finish. The post signs off: “I hardly think a showcase of collective Olympic gold medals could touch that.”

Mara: That’s the stakes as the post frames them. Not performance, not achievement — just the actual turning of the season, met consciously, with breath intact.

Pip: Which is either very humble or extremely ambitious, depending on how you’re breathing right now.

Mara: The tides, the breath, the seasonal turn — these keep showing up as the real curriculum here.

Pip: More from Classroom Mothership Earth next time. Stay on your board.

Podcast Episode: Fellow Luminous Souls Traveling Together In Collective Cosmic Consciousness . .

Posted on by under Consciousness

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the curriculum includes shamans, quantum leaps, and the in-sound from way out. Ari Joshua Bouse has been writing, and the assignment is consciousness itself.

Mara: This episode follows one extended meditation on collective awakening — what it means to move beyond the noise, find stillness, and recognize our shared ground. Let’s start with that territory.

Fellow Luminous Souls Traveling Together In Collective Cosmic Consciousness

Pip: The post sets up a lineage — shamans, the Buddha, the Christ — and asks what it looks like when a critical mass of people today actually follows that thread toward something beyond the ordinary channel of reality.

Mara: The piece builds toward exactly that possibility, and here is the spine of it: “A critical mass of people are now seeing through the smoke and mirrors that front as an illusionary curtain behavioral trap that is sold, bought and processed as everyday reality.”

Pip: So the claim is that consensus reality isn’t a neutral backdrop — it’s a product. And the work of awakening is recognizing you’ve been handed a script.

Mara: Right, and the post traces several traditions that have named this. Indigenous Australians held their Dreamtime as more real than the Western version of reality. The Buddha faced suffering directly rather than routing around it. The through-line is that the exit from the nightmare requires turning toward it, not away.

Pip: There is something almost counterintuitive about that — the way out is through, which is not the advice most of us get from the algorithm.

Mara: The post names what blocks that passage pretty specifically: “attached doubts, fears, mental tapes, concepts, and compartmentalized cognitions” — what it calls the Chattering Monkey Mind or the Reptilian Brain. The upshot is that identification with that noise is the only thing that makes us miss the boat.

Pip: And the destination, once you hop off the lily pad, is described as “free flowing expanding spaciousness” where joy and light become normative rather than exceptional.

Mara: The post closes with Unity Consciousness as the frame — the recognition that we are part of Cosmic Oneness, connected to each other and everything. It ends with a genuine question: “What’s your Light Language?” It also comes with a recorded guided meditation, Ari reading the piece aloud, which gives the whole thing a different texture than a written essay alone.

Pip: The page asks you to sit with it, not just scroll past it.

Mara: The thread running through all of this is permission — permission to step off the default reel and into something quieter and wider.

Pip: Next time, we’ll see what else is traveling in from that direction.

Podcast Episode: Orbs Of Light Meditative Poem Revisited

Posted on by under Consciousness

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where climate prophecy, cosmic meditation, and the occasional UFO all share a zip code.

Mara: Today we’re looking at work from Ari Joshua Bouse — a meditative poem that moves from climate grief through the zodiac and out to the edges of the universe. Let’s start with the poem itself and what it’s reaching for.

Orbs Of Light: A Meditation on Expanding Awareness

Pip: This poem isn’t just a meditation exercise — it’s a cosmology. It opens with climate grief and the suffering of sentient beings, then pivots toward something like a spiritual antidote. The question it’s asking is: what do you do with that grief?

Mara: The poem sets up the movement from darkness toward light early, and then delivers the actual practice: “Picture a growing golden white orb of light illuminating your soul and then let it travel with your consciousness outward — first filling the room, making its way through your home, community, region, planet and then to the edge of the Universe and back to the home of your breath.”

Pip: So the meditation is literally a scale exercise — you start in your chest and end at the edge of everything. That’s not a metaphor for healing; it’s the mechanism.

Mara: Right, and the poem frames that expansion in physical terms too — “Feel expansion and then contraction of the Universe” maps the cosmos onto breath. The inhalation and exhalation become a model for how awareness moves.

Pip: There’s also an astrological scaffolding underneath all of this — Aries, Pisces, the Aquarian New Age — which positions the meditation inside a larger turning of ages, not just a Tuesday morning breathing exercise.

Mara: And then the poem directs that orb outward with real specificity. It names Ukrainian and Russian people, Black and Indigenous people, whales, dolphins, USOs and UFOs — and then reaches further: “Send it to mythical creatures of folklore. For on some level, they too exist and deserve an equitable passport in sovereignty.”

Pip: An equitable passport in sovereignty — for creatures of folklore. I respect the commitment to leaving no one out of the universal health plan.

Mara: The closing line pulls it together: “We are Starseed Children of the Creator. Humans are part of a universal tapestry. But we are not the only ones.” The poem ends not on human centrality but on plurality — a shared cosmos.

Pip: Climate grief in, cosmic solidarity out. That’s the arc.

Pip: From grief to orbs to folklore creatures holding valid passports — the range here is genuinely its own thing.

Mara: The throughline is expansion: personal breath, planetary care, universal belonging. Worth sitting with.

A Full Strawberry Moon On June 29th & Then Tracking A Firecracker Felt Sense Of Independence With A Full Buck Moon In Late July

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Please enjoy the following videos below that capture the sentiment. Perhaps listening to them together in peaceful alignment, will be music to your ears, if you’ll pardon the pun . . .

We Shall Overcome

A Full Strawberry Moon on June 29 reflects lineage connections to the Algonquin and other North American nations who noticed the connection between the wild berry harvest to this Full Moon.

Also, Mercury will be in Retrograde on June 29 – July 23. These energies are in alignment with slowing things down, reflecting on the past, and focusing on the here and now.

Energetically, Mercury in Retrograde is a good time to be mindful of subconscious thoughts, including past programming. These energies can be a healing and highly intuitive time when we work with its energies intensionally.

Moreover, our psychic abilities and dreams can become triggered so that we can tap into deeper insights by working with our subconscious minds in ways where the unseen realms yield useful information to light our way.

A colorful New Moon in Cancer rises in the skies on July 14, 2026. Cancer season continues till July 22nd.

As always, new beginnings are in the air. And specifically, the new waves coming into the shores bring back feeling safe in family matters of the hearth, and other related activities like cooking and gardening.

Crabs are known to weather their emotional fluctuations. Might as well be mindful of co-creating a sense of belonging in the world.

Cancer the Crab is a time when we are encouraged to focus on nourishment, self-care, and our emotional health that breathes in a softer tone that supports reconnecting with ourselves and our hearts. Crabs reflect emotional sensitivity and tapping into the feeling realm.

Remember there is God in forgiveness, and it can be good to get out of our heads; especially when getting seduced into negative self talk narratives.

Or perhaps merely an atheistic appreciation the mysterious forces of Nature are enough to be shelter from the storm.

Looking ahead, a Full Buck Moon will happen on July 29. This Moon gets its name from the Native American observation that male deer antlers began growing in late spring and reach peak growth in July. Many Native Alaskans called this moon the Salmon Moon for its timing with salmon runs.

Whereas in Celtic culture, this moon has been known as the Wyrt (Wort), Mead or Herb Moon because most herbs can withstand harvesting by July. And in Anglo Saxon lineage, this moon was known as the Hay Moon. Bees buzzing out and about reinforce that honey is the elixir of life.

It is important for all humans to remember our shared history. This includes our lineage connections to our indigenous ancestral roots that are part of our planetary history before Colonization. This has impacted everyone and continues to do so.

Of course knowing our spiritual roots connects to that truth as well. Because we all have stardust in our DNA, not to mention oral traditions passed down about our cosmic connections to the Sky People.

Speaking of cosmic connections, a growing body of people are talking about Disclosure these days:

Late July’s full moon cycle amplifies a strong need for emotional freedom that can heighten emotional complexities.

Whether you’re an ET, human or otherwise; the resonate point is that harmonizing with groups can be challenging for everyone till you get into the right vibe, if you’ll pardon the multidimensional pun.

Moreover, Aquarian energies that also constitute July’s full moon cycle can intensify in those of us with strong rebellious streaks, our need to assert ourselves, and can make getting along in groups feel more challenging.

But then again, that’s just part of the human condition.

Speaking of the human condition, fear, anger and jealousy aren’t particularly healthy emotional cravings. And yet, all emotions are fleeting and transient, so we might as well see them as they are; no more or no less.

Besides, the power of community shows that people can be good mirrors for each other to reflect on what triggers us, and can shed light on better understanding of our humanity.

Finally, the tides of Leo season roll in from July 22-August 22. Tis the season to broadcast radically confident self-expression through the heart chakra, and a friendly reminder to nurture our inner child. Leo’s energies encourage movement out of the shadows, and stepping into the light with courage and passion.

Of course dominating the spotlight and always stealing the show can be blinding; as is self-stimulation as a form of meddling into the affairs of others. Besides, it can come across as an arrogant form of defensive pride.

Truly, the 3D realm we live in still carries a strong identification as an outer directed culture. Might as well see this reality as a friendly reminder that we stand in a deeper and higher personal authority when we stop chasing after happiness in the form of “praise, likes, or applause.”

May all Beings awaken to God Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Diversity within Unity, Inner Peace and the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth,

Ari

Full Disclosure: Truly, I do take pride in my writing, and have yet to use AI for the written word. However, I have been having fun with playing around with AI for illustrations.

Please enjoy the podcast & transcript below:

Pip: There’s a site called Classroom Mothership Earth, which is either a philosophy blog or the most ambitious field trip ever conceived — possibly both.

Mara: Ari Joshua Bouse writes here about education, consciousness, and the ideas that stay with you long after the bell rings. Today we’re following him back into a high school classroom and into Plato’s cave. Let’s start with what that cave actually meant.

Plato’s Allegory Of The Cave

Pip: The post opens with a prompt — describe something you learned in high school — and the answer isn’t a formula or a date. It’s a philosophy class that apparently rewired the writer’s entire sense of reality.

Mara: The Humanities course had a teacher who, as the post puts it, “embodied his humanity” — theatrical, philosophical, running the room like a group rather than a lecture. The layout shifted between rows, clusters, and horseshoe configurations to keep energy moving through the space.

Pip: So the room itself was part of the pedagogy. The furniture arrangement wasn’t aesthetic — it was functional, designed to open something up in the students.

Mara: And what got opened up, specifically, was Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. The post describes it this way: “the metaphor of humanity being asleep and trapped in own own darkness lit a fire in my neurons and energy field.”

Pip: That’s a sentence doing a lot of heavy lifting across several centuries of philosophy.

Mara: What it means in practice is that the allegory didn’t stay abstract. It landed as a personal reckoning — the post connects it directly to protective instincts, survival dynamics, and what it calls “death and rebirth” taking root in the psyche. This wasn’t intellectual exercise; it was identity-level disruption.

Mara: The class also covered Plato’s Republic against Pericles’ Democracy, the teacher’s own Theory of Good, and Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha. The curriculum was genuinely wide.

Pip: And the post notes that metacognition and superconsciousness weren’t yet common language — but that didn’t stop anyone from having those experiences. The concepts came later; the experiences came first.

Mara: The image that closes the reflection is the teacher drawing a diagram of the Cave on a blackboard, and the writer connecting that chalk sketch to ancient cave art. The visual form of the idea outlasted the lesson itself.

Pip: Turns out the cave has good acoustics for anything that echoes.

Mara: The throughline is that a single classroom encounter with one allegory can reorganize how a person understands consciousness — and keeps doing so long after graduation.

Pip: Shadows on a wall, seating arrangements, a teacher with chalk — small things that turn out to be load-bearing.

Mara: Next time, more from the mothership.

Podcast Episode: Embodying Paradox, Change & Humor In The Everyday Moments Of Life

This podcast version of 1 of my more recent writings stars 2 AI created characters named Pip and Mara.

Please enjoy the podcast & transcript below:

Pip: Classroom Mothership Earth — where the curriculum includes falling off your bike, losing on purpose, and calling all of it wisdom.

Mara: That’s actually a fair summary. Ari Joshua Bouse has a new post up exploring resilience, paradox, and how everyday stumbles become the practice itself. Let’s start with what it means to stop fighting the dark and work with it instead.

Embodying Paradox, Change and Humor In Everyday Life

Mara: The central question here is how resilience actually gets built — not by avoiding difficulty, but by changing your relationship to it. The post argues that resilience is cultivated, not inherited, and that the everyday moment is where that cultivation happens.

Pip: And the frame for all of it comes from a Taoist concept the post calls Investing In Loss. The setup is direct: “you might lose a game 99 times out of a hundred. But if you lose 99 times and you are paying mindful attention about your partners moves, you can learn their tricks, and spring the trap to win the 100th game.”

Mara: So the upshot is that losing, done consciously, is actually data. The mindset shift the post is pointing at is the difference between defeat and apprenticeship — same outcome, completely different relationship to it.

Pip: The bike and the swimming pool make the same case more viscerally. Most of us got water up our nose and fell off the handlebars and somehow did not develop lasting trauma from either. We just got back on.

Mara: Right — and the post uses that to ask a genuine question: how do we stay present in everyday life the way we were present when we were learning something genuinely new and a little scary? That’s where Dan Millman enters. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior gets name-checked as a long-running personal touchstone — a book recommended in high school, not fully read until after college, but never forgotten.

Pip: There is something quietly honest about admitting the book sat on the to-do list for years before it landed. Delayed absorption counts.

Mara: The post opens with two epigraphs that frame the whole thing. Eckhart Tolle on bringing in light rather than fighting darkness, and S. Kelley Harrell going further: “bless the darkness, hold the light, because the two aren’t divisible.” That’s the paradox the title is naming — not resolving the tension, but inhabiting it.

Mara: The shadow-boxing image the post offers — awakening to shades of your hidden self in a mirror — suggests the inner work and the outer stumbling are the same practice, just different angles.

Pip: Lose on purpose, get back on the bike, and hold the light and the dark at the same time. Straightforward advice, if you don’t mind the bruises.

Mara: That tension between difficulty and openness seems like the thread worth pulling next time.

Facing Our Fears & Self-Doubts

Posted on by under Uncategorized
Calm lake at twilight with tree silhouettes and crescent moon

Facing our fears and self-doubts is not always easy.

But then again, I’m sure that fits into the no shit category.

Speaking of fecal matter…without it, there would be no compost to mulch in the gardens of our inner tapestries.

From a consciousness perspective, we have to be willing to get our hands dirty, get down with the stink, and venture into the cave’s darkness so that we can awaken the light to experience the sustenance of life.

This cyclical process is the power of alchemy.

Furthermore, it is even harder to avoid facing our fears and self-doubts head on by getting seduced by our projections of them.

What I mean by that it is that scarier to think about the mights that tend to rise to the surface of our consciousness when we entertain our fears and self-doubts.

Just as an example, saying to yourself, “if I do this, then the chips might fall here or there and that will be terrifying, out of my control and I can’t have that.”

Like a toddler, the experience makes it tempting to close your eyes and say, “I’m not listening!”

From this place, spiritual bypassing appears to be a preferable path of least resistance by avoiding facing our fears and self-doubts and examining them directly.

But with faith and trust, sometimes we just need to surrender to the Universe and let the chips fall where they may for growth to occur.

However, at the end of the day…it takes more energy to put a band-aid on the wound of fear and self-doubt than it does to examine their origins with radical curiosity, empathy, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.

It is possible; as well as a real felt-sense experience to be kind to our minds, and learn to be gentle on ourselves.

As humans, we all get insecure.

Of course, it does appear easier to fear what we don’t understand.

That’s why self-examination and awareness are key dynamics to allowing the light to illuminate the shadows.

Just as an example, I know someone close to me who made a conscious choice to “stay poor” as a way to mitigate his greed.

But greed is merely a part of the human condition and an emotional reality that visits us periodically.

And yet, to deny any emotion or feeling just energizes it; as in what we resist persists.

Like any thoughts, we don’t get rid of greed by pretending it isn’t there, pushing it away or trying to throw it in the trash.

Moreover, these have been institutional isms, or ‘Good Ole Boy’ forms have been set up by the Establishment to protect forms of oppression. Denial of them just perpetuates more oppression. The Code of Silence is designed to keep them hidden and therefore unexamined.

Truly, I remember thinking that way when the voice of trauma was more in control of my life. Identification with that voice became a security in my consciousness, like a pacifier or binky that helps an infant soothe themself when their neurological system is compromised. It’s that experience that many adults know that is captured by the statement, “I don’t feel safe!”

That line of thinking begs the question…

Do I want to merely exist in a bubble during my time here or do I want to really live?

Moving past our clever excuses and getting out of our comfort zone promotes the Constitutional Preamble’s General Welfare of experiencing life’s bounty.

Happiness as a way of life recognizes that all the reflections in the mirror are revealing the wisdom of awareness.

May all Beings be in alignment with God Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, Unity Consciousness, Diversity within Unity, Inner Peace and the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth.

Taking An Energetic Forrest Bath With Taurus The Bull & Basking In Buddha’s Light Of Compassion on The Forthcoming Wesak Full Moon on May 1st

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Although Aries season is coming to an end, it’s fiery energies are not to be missed on a New Moon in Aries on April 17.

This New Moon is a powerful time for reaching out to the Universe, asserting our needs, asking for guidance, and then allowing for manifestation to show up in the creation of our lives.

Energetically, Taurus season is a period of grounding and embodiment. Time to slow down into a more deliberate rhythm that is in alignment with Nature’s cycle. 

Following the spiritually assertive fiery energies of Aries, the Bull lands and builds foundations.

From an energetic perspective, the root chakra governs our sense of safety, survival, and belonging to the Earth.

I remember when I first felt drawn to spiritual power of shamanism by creating meaningful and purposeful rituals around mundane experiences.

Creating rituals can awaken seeing the sacred in everyday moments that can breathe in new air into the dead air of stale old ways of doing things that have become robotic.

Just as an example, we can help reduce anxiety and increase our sense of stability when we recognize our inner abundance, and imagine roots growing into the ground from the soles of our feet.

Besides, this practice makes for a healthy walking meditation ritual.

When people choose to work with these energies consciously, we are invited to reconnect with the physical world as a sacred space.

And we also become equipped to develop our spiritual fulfillment through the felt sense experience of the five material senses typically associated with the 3D realm.

We are in alignment with the spiritual nature of Taurus when we turn ordinary routines such as; making tea, showering, working out or even grocery shopping into intentional rituals where we are present.

Instead of spiritual bypassing, may we give ourselves permission to be fully present in the physical body rather than escaping into abstract thinking.

Because our bodies are our sacred vessels to connect with the present moment.

Remember that a sense of Divinity awakens by stopping to smell of flowers, mindfully tasting a meal or feeling the grass underneath your feet. 

Does your daily life align with your soul’s true values?

Keep in mind that when we are working with our shadow sides, it is wise for us to be mindful of the cravings to our creature comforts or familiar routines that ends up avoiding deeper inner work.

Perhaps instead, choosing rest or a walk out in Nature could be better options for you than attending a ritualistic social engagement that will probably leave you feeling exhausted at this time.

The Wesak Full Moon will happen on Friday, May 1st, which is in alignment with the Buddha’s birth, attainment of enlightenment and physical death.

Further, the spiritual and sacred ceremony around these energies reflects Divine Love, Divine Light and Divine Power flowing down to Gaia and all Sentient Beings.Friday, May 1, 2026.

Many of our ancestors considered the Wesak Full Moon as the most powerful full moon of the year. And to this day, many spiritual travelers honor our sacred connection to the consciousness of this full moon as Master Co elaborates on in the video below (with Master Choa Kok Sui’s picture in the background) :

As you can see, May can be seen as a high octane spiritual portal month, amplified by many powerful energetic shifts and new beginning frequencies beaming in. Wide open windows to cosmic vibrations are more perceptible at this time.

For example, 2026 marks the start of a new 9 year cycle.

The beginning of May is a good time for initiating new projects, setting new foundations, emphasizing independence, leadership, and authentic identity.

See revolutionary changes in communication, connection, and social networks as on their way.

Manifestation is in the air, and those of us on a spiritual path should especially be intentional with our words and thoughts because they will carry unusual weight this year.

Keep in mind that spiritual awakenings are part of these manifestations.

Are you experiencing sudden inspirations, intense dreams, or emotional highs and lows?

Will old patterns or relationships that no longer resonate gently fall away during this time to make room for a deeper frequency version of yourself? 

May all beings be free from suffering, and awaken to Inner Peace, Diversity Within Unity, Unity Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness and God Consciousness.

Spring Singing With Robin, Kundalini Rising & Diving Deeper Into The Sacred Energetic Medicinal Waters Of The Blue Pearl

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Robin’s unique Spring singing is tuned to the key of inner peace.

What I mean by that is the singing of these birds echoes peaceful and non-violent forms of communication through song to settle any territorial conflicts they might face.

Moreover, the blue hue of their eggs, coupled with their singing reflects the energies of the Throat Chakra.

May humans heed the call to tune into our Throat Chakra to awaken the power of communication by the way we play with our voices.

Consider that the Root Chakra is the primary residence of the powerful spiritual energy of the kundalini.

After the kundalini is tapped, it begins flowing more abundantly through the rest of the Chakra system.

Speaking of Chakras, I recently finished reading a recommended book called, The Spiritual Essence Of Man: The Chakras And The Inverted Tree Of Life, by Master Choa Kok Sui.

Master Sui is considered the founding soul of the Modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga.

And I can hear the callback of a spiritual teacher that I have had the honor to work with, who studied with Master Sui, and reinforced the importance of “meditation on the Blue Pearl”.

Long before I read Master Sui’s book, I felt inspired to incorporate a Chakra balancing meditation into my everyday meditation practice. The one that really got my wheels churning was reportedly passed down from Andean shamanic lineage.

My daughter and I have laughed about the time I tried to teach her this mediation while we were on a hike together back when she was in Preschool.

Ah, it’s still funny to me how these moments taste better organically with unforced errors, so to speak.

Truly, a sense of humor does breathe forgiveness into those moments of attempted ‘doer-ism’.

Like drinking a good tea, it’s important to take our time with digesting a spiritual diet by gently allowing the energy to steep in our consciousness, and let the wisdom percolate.

I remember a time when I experienced feeling pressured to compress spiritual understanding, transcend, and feel the need to figure it all out.

Of course this is impossible, and doesn’t just happen on the spiritual path.

Back in the T’ai Chi classes at The Studio, we used to joke about “disappearing in the mirror”. It was a real perceptible experience shared by many of the teachers and students there.

Besides, seeing from the soul, emptying the mind or cultivating spaciousness reveals that, as the ego shrinks and presence expands, a bell of mindfulness gives us another case of what we no longer want.

Meditation on the Blue Pearl reminds me of Eckhart Tolle’s commentary on the “lower i (and) the deeper I”; parts of a person’s form and formless identity.

The video below helps amplify the sentiment:

But just as the examples of the surface and depth of the ocean, they really aren’t separate identities at all.

Furthermore, an awakening softness around the cravings melt away into the remarkably unremarkable present moment as it is.

Like a good folk song, the experience can just happen without the frills, if only we allow for it without being invested or a sense of expectation.

Check out the short video below to get a feel for the meditative Blue Pearl vibe:

So what is the motivation to develop our spiritual powers?

Keep in mind that they can become behavioral traps “when used for ego aggrandizement”.

It is always important to remember the humility that none of us are any better or worse than anyone else.

As diverse expressions of one whole that is greater than the sum of its parts, we just have different talents and abilities that are part of our uniqueness.

May All Beings Be Free From Suffering, Awaken To Inner Peace, Unity Consciousness, Diversity Within Unity, Cosmic Consciousness and God Consciousness.
