Fireside Chats, Venturing Into The Dark, and Fading To Black . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Uncategorized

A Beaver Moon fades into the backdrop after waning from its full status on November 5th. This Full Moon gave reflection to heightened pre-winter activity in preparation for colder temperatures, freezing waters, and the arriving winter season.

Just after that, Mercury went in Retrograde on November 9, and will remain there till going back direct on November 29.

Time to turn our clocks yin-ward to rewind, reflect, remember and slow down our pace. Darker days and cooler temperatures give us a natural advantage to journey into our inner caves, and gently allow the seeds underground to rest and hibernate, till its time to wake up in the spring.

Speaking of journeying into our inner caves . . .

Connect to the ancient indigenous people that still remain in underground societies. Heed their stories of communion with the Sky People, who were harbingers of change back Zen and as they still are right Tao.

Mercury in Retrograde can facilitate the process of receiving deeper insights into our subconscious minds. Tis the season for introspection, self-reflection, meditation and journaling.

Additionally, about a week before Thanksgiving; a New Moon in Scorpio on November 20th powers up deeper feelings. Moreover, meaningful relational exchanges may give less incentives to pursuing shallow relationships that no longer quench your thirst.

Human beings are complex, as are our relationships. Superficial relationships are challenged by the complexity of developing more meaningful relationships that challenge us to push our edges, and act as catalysts to grow in ways that our souls need.

Purification in relationships awakens us to sail with the winds of change at our backs. Being triggered by any chaotic energies can help us face up to what is rising to the surface for us to re-examine, and re-evaluate on how we want to move forward.

Keep in mind that it is still the Year of the Snake; which is highly symbolic of transformation. May the shedding of old skin or death of the old self awaken transformative inner alchemy by stoking the embers of your percolating new self.

What old wounds are you carrying from your longitudinal and multidimensional quest that you would like to release and let go of?

What old narratives do you wish to let go of, based on the stories that have been projected onto you or that you have adopted as your own?

What new growth would you like to see the light of day in the New Year ahead?

Appreciate that tunneling into the underground caverns of our souls requires facing unknowing and uncertainty with faith and trust that we will be shown the way. May we be mindful of and guided by the signs and synchronicities as supportive guides in the mirror of our minds.

A Cold Full Moon on December 4th, followed by the Winter Solstice on December 21 will mark the darkest day of the year in the Northern hemisphere. This is the time when our ancestors coaxed back the light; which gently allows for shifts in our consciousness into a new dawn of awakening.

Of course, it is the opposite in the Southern hemisphere because it will be the Summer Solstice; signaling the lightest day of the year there. Movement toward subtle waning light carries on after that.

Furthermore, it will be the New Year of the Fire Horse on February 17th, not long after the Imbolc aka Groundhog Day on February 2nd. By that time, Spring (or Autumn in the Southern hemisphere) will be starting energetically, even if only subtle hints are perceptible at that time.

The choice is ours what we choose to carry with us along our lifetimes. By that I mean what our ancestors have passed down on to us versus what we want to give back for inner alchemy and transformation.

We are magnetic creatures that are made up of energy. Like attracts like.

If we want to receive change, we have to become the change we want to see in the world first. We have to open up to the frequencies of joy and light if we want to become joy and light, just as examples.

May all Beings be free and awaken to the vibration of Inner Peace,

Ari

A Passing Eclipse Season, Autumn Equinox, ETs & Powering Up Into A New Age and Paradigm

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Holy Cow, we have made it through the Autumn Eclipse Season! Of course, the aftershocks will linger for some time; which is somewhat akin to the way Mercury in Retrograde takes time for the fog to lift, and we can reflect back with more clarity.

Eclipses have the potential to shake up your consciousness, invite spiritual awakenings, and loosen up the grip of the ego. Recently, I heard a spiritual teacher share a story of how she forgot how to drive a car after having a spiritual awakening. It isn’t that the ego doesn’t serve. Rather, after such an awakening, a new way of shifting gears can be discovered after a healing, if you’ll pardon pun.

Use the energies now to cleanse and purify any old emotions and memories that you are still holding.

What needs to be released in your soul at this time?

What has shifted within you?

How have you grown?

What have you released that no longer serves your personal empowerment and sovereignty?

Today, September 22nd, marks the Autumn Equinox because we officially say goodbye to summer and hello to fall, in the Northern Hemisphere at least. The leaves are changing, days are getting shorter, and the temperatures are dropping.

Or if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, you’re saying peace out to winter and good day mate to Spring because it’s the Vernal Equinox.

Regardless of wherever you are on the Planet, the energies of Light and Dark, Masculine and Feminine and Yin and Yang will be in equal alignment with each other.

A New Balance of creation is in the air and will show up in our footsteps, if we are paying mindful attention.

Whether you call it a Dimension of Spaciousness, the Kingdom of Heaven or the Light of Consciousness; the energy of these words describe a real attainable experience that exists within you, and is everywhere.

But we all know that the Empire are protecting old ways of manipulation that wants us to think otherwise. The clinging and grasping of the Old Guard continues to try to control us so that we behave as sheeple by convincing you that you are not worthy. Think of it as a commercial that wants you to buy into an idea that you are separate from everyone and everything; God included.

The truth is that we are awakening into a New Age and Paradigm where Diversity within Unity will become the new normal. All that means is that we will know our Oneness with each other, while at the same time discovering our individual uniqueness. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Our interconnection with all sentient beings will become a self evident truth. Remember that Love and Truth are the Pillars that hold up the Universe. It has to be felt in the heart and without forgetting in the head.

During the season of Libra on September 22 through October 21st, we are always inspired us to balance what we give to our relationship with our self with what we give to our relationships with others.

A Full Harvest Moon will occur on October 6, 2025. This Full Moon gets its name because it is the closest to the Fall Equinox, and usually takes place in September. It is symbolic of the peak harvest of crops in many places. And it will be the first of three consecutive supermoons, which is like a Full Moon on steroids.

As Libra season ends on the New Moon on October 21, a doorway into deep healing in our relationships; including blood or extended family is possible, if only we are open to seeing beneath the surface of our long held patterns.

For example, most couples have known the experience of developing deeply ingrained and dysfunctional patterns in their current or past relationships. Whether or not you are still in the couple relationship, you can still heal and change these dysfunctional patterns within yourself, and the relationship can change. Or you can change the way you experience the relationship within yourself at least.

As this writer shared with you in the last blog post, he is on a Leave of Absence after serving as a social worker in the same school community for the last 20 years. Recently, he followed the wise guidance of a soul psychotherapist, and did an identity ceremony to honor, release and let go of who he was, his accomplishments, and also let go of what no longer serves him as he moves forward.

During the process, I thought about the good fortune it has been to have meaningful work. While trauma- informed practice in schools isn’t easy by any standard, it was important for me to honor the big changes that occurred, look upon them as all blessings, and choose what parts of them no longer serve me, and what I want to bring with me into my next chapter. It’s not a coincidence that we’re in the Chinese Year of the Snake, which symbolizes the shedding of the old skin, and transformation.

For those of you hip to the Chakras, my Solar Plexus Chakra was prompting me to do this identity ceremony, and has been giving me the clear message that it was the right thing to do.

Furthermore, as I look back upon the Mount Shasta retreat that I wrote about in the last blog post, I think about the arriving Massive Changes coming down the pike, as we move further into a New Earth Aquarian Age, and deepen our alignment with Unity Consciousness.

Check out the short video clip (approximately 2 minutes below) to see what we experienced as a group together on our retreat.

According to Gene Ang, our facilitator at the Mount Shasta retreat:

“We had a series of sightings over five consecutive nights where in the night sky you can see what looks like a star powerup to a tremendous amount and then power down.  The series looks like 6-8 of these power ups occurring one after the other with about a 30 second to a minute pause between each power up.  You can see a version recorded by Dr. Steven Greer . . . In the video, you will see Dr. Greer point out an object in the night sky with his laser which gets intensely bright and then powers down.  What we saw this past August was the same thing but the object would power up and power down 6-8 times in a row before disappearing.  The group saw this same pattern in some version on five consecutive nights . . . When I took my initial trainings with Steven Greer regarding extraterrestrial contact in 2009, he said that when a group in a circle outside sees these power ups, there is a tremendous amount of light and information that is sent into the group that assists in transforming their consciousness.  Even healings can occur.”

During the various debriefing sessions and sub-grouping conversations, I repeatedly shared that it felt like we were being winked at during the powerups. Moreover, I drew the analogy of when we were kids and someone would signal to the highway trucker to pull his horn, and they would.

Finally, most adult children can remember magical experiences at some point during their childhood. Even if it was the sense of adventure and promise that a new day might offer; whether a specific encounter with an animal, a field trip at school or an unscripted experience on a summer day during unstructured play, or dreams or visions that resonated and felt so real they were hard to shake. Perhaps it was an experience that your known paradigm couldn’t explain. Not everybody remembers or even had these experiences necessarily. Today, people are far more plugged into their devices, and are more likely to miss these opportunities. But there is a growing body of people who are intensionally experiencing them more than ever by slowing down their pace, stopping to smell the roses, and being mindful of the sacredness of the living moment.

May all Beings be free and awaken to the vibrational shift into the dimension of Inner Peace,

Back To School, Back To Business & Movement Towards The Autumn Equinox

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Ari & Elisha at Mount Shasta

A Full Corn Pisces Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse will happen on September 7, 2025. This full moon is a Total Lunar Eclipse, which is like a full moon on steroids. Sensitivity and perceptiveness of surroundings are greatly amplified now. It’s hard to go wrong with sensitivity and perceptiveness.

Yes, powers of perception do have their egoic enticements. But that’s OK, it’s just something to be mindful of is all. Nothing to get hung up on, develop an attitude about or demonize.

Looking ahead, another New Moon in Virgo will happen on September 21, 2025. This new moon is a partial solar eclipse. A sense of order and clarity can breathe in feelings of safety and security.

Energetically, Eclipse seasons are always reflective of shakeups in consciousness. It’s as if the old ways of being and paradigms of thought are blown away with the winds of change.

Eclipses are uprooting and are certainly inviting opportunities for spiritual awakenings and getting out of our comfort zones.

Getting uncomfortable and dealing with unpleasant experiences are typically not our preferred outcome measures. And yet, they are necessary for growth so that we can grow and move forward along the trails.

Insecurity is part of the human condition; as well as being heightened at this time. Allowing for creative and spiritual rituals that are organically built into our daily routine flows very naturally with imaginative Pisces. Fish are good reminders about going with the flow, and mindfully surfing the waves of life.

Like in football, we don’t need to get too cute; we can just just run the ball. In the spiritual community, there’s plenty of ‘Kitch’, and show and tell, like in other circles. There’s nothing wrong with show and tell or spiritual bling. It’s just that what’s beyond those items of power that really matters, if you’ll pardon the spirited pun.

Uncertainty is a cold hard fact of life that can bring up plenty of excitement, anxiety and of course fear. Feeling uncertain can be terrifying. And yet, there is predictability within the unpredictable.

For example, we know for certain that the Empire’s rule by few mindset, and power and control issues have been a longstanding behavioral trap in human history. On some level, we have all been conditioned.

What is uncertain is that because these old systems are breaking down, we can see that the chinks in the Military-Industrial Complex’s armor are being revealed. There’s a heightened and amplified sense of uncertainty in the airwaves these days.

The bad news is that we will not be solving the problems of the human plight with the current or devolved consciousness.

The good news is that; from an elevated state of consciousness that is aligned with the figure 8 sign of infinity . . . Perceptible solutions abound. Alas (and this is a big thing), it’s pretty impossible to do this without trust or an open heart and mind.

Some pragmatic and practical ways to explore uncertainty is to answer (or don’t answer) your phone without screening your call. Many people really struggle with even entertaining this possibility even in their minds. Just another way to play with life’s creative juices. Take a different route, use your non-dominant hand to do mundane tasks, like opening a door. I don’t know about you, but I’m a big fan of the KISS (keep it simple sweetheart) model.

Might as well say yes to the Climate Change and move with the process as gracefully as possible. But as you already know, all systems naturally resist change, humans notwithstanding.

Remember that the theater of life reveals the interplay between order and chaos. Try to have a more tolerant and accepting attitude of life’s imperfections; as well as allowing life to unfold as it does.

When we trust the process of the river of life, we are more equipped to let go of our expectations and wake up to what might spring up around the bend, if you’ll pardon the water pun.

Paradoxically, this invites a deeper sense of power and control by opening up to the organically sensuous and mysterious fruits that the Universe has to offer.

Besides, like the old taichi meditative joke goes: “one more case of getting what I no longer want.”

The Autumn or Fall Equinox will happen on September 22nd, in the Northern Hemisphere at least. Light and dark energies are in equal alignment at this time in both hemispheres. Our days will start getting darker after that, as temperatures are also cooling down, and leaves are changing color.

But in the Southern Hemisphere, it will be their Vernal or Spring Equinox. Feminine and Masculine energies will also be equal. Their days will start getting longer after that, while temperatures will rise.

Recently, I went on a spiritual retreat at Mt Shasta in Northern California. To say the energies there were majestic would be an understatement. Like a wise guide said, “there’s a lot going on in Mt Shasta.” I have always wanted to embark on a spiritual retreat, and I’m so thankful I did. I feel that the digestion process will be unfolding for quite some time. Our group was larger than I had thought- approximately 25 people or so. We had some downtime to socialize, sub-group or whatnot, which was nice. However, our daily routine was filled with lots of meditation, group process and debriefing, some hiking and connecting with nature spirits on and around the mountain, and skywatching at night. For many of us, that was a highlight, if you’ll pardon the skywatching laser pun.

In my estimation at least, part of what the ETs love about us is that we are on the cusp of an awareness that is old news for many of them. This is part of why they are so interested in us. They want to engage with us in a playful way that includes co-regulation and positive self talk. This is the mindset of Unity Consciousness. From this perspective, contact is safe and healing. Earth is like a reform school and we are here to learn. Unity Consciousness is in alignment with the Universal Pillars of Love and Truth; beyond the realm of manipulation. From this dimensional and vibrational frequency, we are in alignment with welcoming, allowing and arriving in Unity Consciousness. It would be absurd to manipulate, exploit or try to control someone else’s energy in this space. But really, this isn’t a far cry from the Golden Rule.

I feel deep gratitude for being around a group of people that are in alignment with a heartfelt and high minded commitment to operate from that place consistently; as well as help others along their way as needed.

When we skywatched and saw them ‘power up’, it’s like when we were kids and someone would make the pull gesture to a highway trucker to blow their horn, and then they would. The trucker and the passerby travelers awaken to a peaceful easy feeling that captures the G’Day Mate sentiment. Of course the internal telepathic communicative experiences folks had during the retreat were what made everyone’s collective experiences unique. In sum, “Mt. Shasta was the perfect place for deep connection, reflection, and realignment.”

Finally, after almost 20 years of working in the same school community as a social worker, it’s a very strange and surreal feeling to not be returning this Fall. However, I’m looking forward to awakening to what will be the unfolding new book of my journey. As such, I will use this Leave of Absence period wisely, and give myself spaciousness to make room for what’s next. I feel this aligns with the time to let go of our collective trauma. Everyone needs to hit the pause button and reset for self-care, healing and support their mental health.

May all beings be free and awaken to the dimension of inner peace.

May The Energy Of Owl Be A Psychic Ally For Us To Mind Our Heads and Lead With Our Hearts . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Shamanism, Spirituality, Uncategorized

As an appetizer to Samhain and other subsequent days that honor our ancestors who have left their earthly incarnations; please give consideration to the Hunter Moon that will occur on Saturday, October 28. Like all moons, this moon goes by many names. Traditionally, its name was inspired by the fattening of game animals from their late summer bounty, and being hunted for winter storage. Falling leaves and less brush during the day brings better visibility for day tracking or hunting, while the moonlight makes it easier to see or hunt animals at night.

However, you don’t have to physically be a hunter to appreciate the origins of how this full moon gets its name. If you like to spend time out in Nature like me, then you can meditate on different animals as gateways into the spirit realm.

When I think about moving further into October and early November, I remember to meditate on the spirit of the season as honored by our ancestors. Did you know that the pop culture identification with Halloween traces its roots to the cross-cultural, and spirited seasonal festivities of the Samhain, followed by the mystical vibrations of Day of the Dead, All Saint’s Day & All Soul’s Day at the end of October into early November?

Moreover, our ancestors observed the ‘thinning of the veils’ around this time. At this junction, we can notice the intersection between the physical and spirit realms more readily co-mingling with each other.

In modern society, there’s normalized rituals of ‘Goretober’, scary masks, costumes, ghosts and goblins and bloody violent movies designed to frighten. Further, we all know that the line between fantasy and reality is harder to discern these days. With so much ‘fake news’ out there, it is harder to know what the truth is; although when you do find truth, it shall set you free.

Just look at the story the Empire sells on behalf of its Military-Industrial Complex. We spend more capital on weapons of mass destruction, military caliber weaponry, big business and big government largesses than anywhere else on the Planet.

Our children (and parents) don’t feel safe in schools or in large community events nowadays. Yet some community people bum rush board meetings and classrooms. Like many, these folks have a tendency to know “a little about a lot” and have no real solutions. It seems like mass shootings are becoming a new normal of everyday worry. Why don’t they call these acts of terrorism?

As we have discussed in this blog before, fascism is a romantic fantasy. It can appear appealing, but it doesn’t work. Underneath fascist thinking is that people need to be conditioned and controlled by mechanistic means to execute that paradigm. But we are sovereign beings. On a deeper soul level, we feel deeply in our bones a strong desire to manifest a more free-thinking, fair and just society. We all have the capacity to self-regulate and co-regulate so that we can co-exist peacefully with one another.

Imagine if resources will be poured into this New Age and Paradigm to support mental health and social emotional learning so that everyone has equal access to equity in healthy learning environments. There are many movers and shakers with deep pockets that have the capital to back this because the Billionaire Class is larger than ever. There are many “doers” on the front line that are already working tirelessly to make a positive impact, and many others that will jump in if there are more incentives for them to Do The Right Thing.

When everyone on the planet meditates, our world will change overnight. Together, we have the pre-wiring capability to unlock the power to move mountains and lighten-up cities, in peaceful and non-violent means necessary of course. The other option is unsustainable and leads to our extinction.

More importantly, it will be a real treat if we can stay in alignment with the Universe’s Pillars of Love and Truth and stay away from the tricks of being seduced by our fears. And you all know that there are many rational and irrational fears out there that could pin your ears back if you let them. The way out of this polarizing madness aka suffering that burns on our planet today is to stop demonizing and going to war with ourselves and each other.

Truly, we can have our disagreements peacefully and co-mingle with one another without subtle and not so subtle acts of violence. The debates, pontification and political football are a parody of a fairy tale reality show that grandparents would be embarrased to read to their grandchildren. I hardly think a totalitarian state could achieve the level of indoctrination that plays out in the corporate media outlets! And yet, without the growing body of intensities- there would be no Tao, or Phoenix Rising out of the ashes. How much more horror and terror do we need for humanity to wake up?

Furthermore, this time of year can awaken heightened co-regulation with our ancestors and loved ones who have left their earthly incarnation. There is so much help available to us in the spirit realm, if only we ask and allow ourselves to receive their spirited wise guidance. One simple way that I use this strategy is to open my morning meditation practice with a simple mantra by saying, Activate Spiritual Light Team. And when it’s time to end the meditation, I conclude by saying, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. It’s like picking up the phone to make a call and then hanging up the phone to end the call. Sometimes, this writer says these statements aloud or telepathically because he believes that both communication forms work effectively.

For example, the energies of owls reflect psychic vision and clairaudience, or hearing spirit. It might even mean seeing a loved one who has passed in your Third Eye, perhaps a ringing in your ear that could be coming from an ET or Multidimensional being that wants to make communicative contact with you. It appears that the more spiritually aware factions of these otherworldy and multidimensional beings want to commune with ‘common folk’ because they see the absurdity of the Empire’s pledge of allegiance to the Military Industrial Complex.

On a lighter note; shortly after my maternal grandmother died, I can remember driving in her old car and perceiving my mother and grandmother’s spirit in the car smoking cigarettes during my daily commute. Even though I still hate the smell of cigarette smoke; the psychical scent of them smoking in the car was something that I looked forward to during a dark time in my life. But in spite of how depleted my energy field was, gearing up for my morning commute at that time motivated me to get out of bed in the morning so that I could be with their spirits.

As the veils thin, may we co-regulate with these powerfully spirited energies in a way that leaves us awakening to the realm of inner peace. But not without grieving the dirge of past loved ones that can leave a heavy heart. Honoring a loved one who has left this earth with an item of power or keepsake to remember them by can bring levity to your soul by awakening a spirited connection to them. You can even use this time to re-work your earthly relationship in a way that is healing for you now, as well as their spirit. Think of this as a win-win Karmic clearing exercise.

From a consciousness perspective, the wearing of the masks can awaken shapeshifting and portals into other alternate or imaginative realms. Brain science has confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt that brainwaves do change during this extra or non-ordinary states of consciousness. By simply shifting your awareness to your Third Eye or center of your forehead, this strategy will help bring you into a perceptual shift into a different dimensional vibration. People who become consistent meditators change their brains, their DNA, and their general experience with life. That’s why it’s really hard to go back to the old ways once you awaken to these novel neuronal pathways. This transformation is Alchemy.

Finally, a consistent meditation practice can become a strong ally in the development of listening and sensitivity skills, as well as reinforcing empathy and compassion in our approach regarding our interactions with each other. Our world can’t get enough of that now more than ever. There is so much help from the spirit realm. All we have to do is ask. And of course be open to allowing ourselves to receive.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari

Whale Watching & Dolphin Tales Are Out Of This World!

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Photo by Kristen Bouse

A Full Flower Moon will happen on May 5, 2023. Of course this Full Moon goes by many names, but we all remember the old saying about April showers bringing May flowers. This Full Moon is also a Lunar Eclipse, which is the last of the Eclipse season. Another name is the Wesak Full Moon, where the Buddha’s energy shines powerfully on Mother Earth. As we have discussed in this blog, eclipses are powerful energetic catalysts that shake things up in our consciousness. They are disruptive to the status quo and get us to look at things differently. May we be inspired by collectively compassionate heads and hearts at this time.

With flowers come hummingbirds, who are effective cross-pollinators that are flying around now. In short, they really spread joy and love in our world. Flowers bring color to the show. And when we see hummingbirds hovering about, they dazzle us with aerial feats akin to some of the unpredictable, jaw dropping movements of UFOs that we see. For those of you who have experienced these, some of you have reported a humming sound that isn’t too far off the sound of a hummingbird hovering over your head, in my mind at least.

Speaking of close encounters, our family was on a road trip recently and spotted some shore birds, dolphins and a humpback whale fishing together along the coast. They were hardly a stone’s throw from the shore and we tracked them along the beach for quite some time. It became clear that they were aware that we were watching them and they put on quite a show by breaching several times for us.

It is an interesting synchronicity that whales and dolphins are mammals. Past storytelling reveals a time when they both lived on land, back when the earth looked different. Some circles say that whales used to fly in the air and other legends tell of a time when they, along with dolphins came here from other worlds, like the Sky People, ETs or Ancient Aliens. In shamanism, whales are said to be like a living library of our planet and dolphins reflect communication. Now that they both clearly live in the sea, we know water is a powerful conductor of sound. What kind of underwater communities and USOs do whales and dolphins know about?

Looking back on the material covered in this blog, we have discussed that stardust is in our DNA, that we are multidimensional beings and that we can influence our DNA. Like with meditation, our brainwaves change, which is a form of alchemy. The more we make meditation a way of life, including physical forms of meditation like Yoga, T’ai Chi and Qigong, we discover a new normal in the way we transform ourselves. Reiki and other forms of energy work shift consciousness, as well as produce new perceptual experiences with reality too. They open you up to your formless being, which taps into more of who you really are.

In mental health, we talk a lot about the power of Positive Self Talk. As humans, our brains are prewired toward negative self talk because it has served us in our ancestry. Just think about the days when saber toothed tigers and other predators were hiding in bushes waiting patiently for their next meal. We were organically tuned to react to subtle movements to keep us safe from being killed and eaten. Today, we have to work on facilitating the transition into our prefrontal cortex by finding new forms of shapeshifting and communication, which are examples of dimensional bleeding and vibrational shifts. Any mental fog will start clearing up after Mercury goes back direct after May 14th. What new vistas will open up as you reflect back on your old self?

In much the way you may be opening up to seeing beings from the spirit realm or beings from another planet, you are also learning to make the shift from negative self talk to positive self talk. The highly evolved Arcturians reportedly amplify this sentiment. Perhaps this is the next quantum leap in our evolutionary process- becoming Homo Luminous or returning to the “original lineage of light.” Kindly and gently keep in mind that further movement into Spring and Summer are powerful times for bringing manifestation into your life. It is a time for personal growth and expansion into your budding new self, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Till Next Time,

A New Moon, Chinese Lunar New Year Of The Rabbit And Moving Further Into The New Aquarian Age & Paradigm . . .

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized
Photo by Damir. on Pexels.com

A New Moon in Aquarius will happen on January 21,

right after Mercury returns direct on the 18th.

And then it will be a Chinese Lunar New Year of the Rabbit on January 22nd.

As the mental fog of Retrograde lifts and our inner skies clear up,

a heightened need for emotional freedom

might connect to more amplified emotional complexities.

Part of learning how to be human is getting out and interacting with others

because being in groups of people helps us understand our feelings.

Co-regulation breathes fresh air into the dirge of negative emotions like fear, anger and jealousy.

Shadow building is when we call in our fears from our subconscious into our waking lives.

Dr. Martin Luther King’s spirit echoes the callback that darkness cannot drive out darkness.

The Prophetic King understood that only the light of consciousness will illuminate the shadows.

Remember what we resist persists.

A hallmark greeting card of Aquarius

scripts an overwhelming need for the individual to march to the beat of their own drum

by not conforming to the cultural programing of society.

And yet, there is the New Age of Aquarius paradigm

of balancing our Diversity within Unity.

We need to be who we are as authentic selves.

But at the same time, we need to find a way to fit into the oneness of group consciousness.

It is an interesting synchronicity to consider the serpent lines symbolic of Aquarius . . .

Does their propensity to travel into multiple mental dimensional airwaves

naturally align with knowledge brought to us by Sky People?

Might this knowledge help us shapeshift into new forms of evolutionary Homo Luminousity?

Soul travel is akin to dimensional bleeding.

We are of the Earth, but not in it.

One way to access spirit guides is through drumming,

which changes our brain waves, like meditation does.

In the shamanic traditions, journeying is a form of meditation.

Polaris starseeds like me share the air of a strong, single-minded streak of Aquarians.

It is in our North Star, if you’ll pardon the pun.

Energetically, Rabbit is symbolic of good fortune and reflects the powers of the moon.

It will be a good year to develop our sensitivity and artistic expressions,

as well as ambition, fitness & virtue.

Are you contemplating starting a new project?

What are you envisioning for your new self?

Rabbits are associated with sexuality and fertility.

At it’s best, sex can be a passionate soul to soul intersection between lovebirds

in a romantic mind-body-spiritual dance step with one another.

But there are many ways other than physically having sex or childbirth

to play with these experiences in our lives.

For example, you can wear different colors, play music and sing

as forms to explore your sensuality,

as well as give birth to a new creative endeavor as a way to flirt with the fertility of life.

Also, these are all healthy ways to reclaim

and nurture a healthy relationship with your inner child.

May we leap and hop with Rabbit into the Faerie realm and other

magical adventures into rabbit holes of the underworld, middle or upper world.

Alternate realities are adventurous places for our minds and souls to travel.

Let us remember a callback to keep our feet on the ground and safely return to our hutch.

Staying grounded in this reality is just as important,

like the old spiritual mantra of walking with one foot in spirit, one foot in ground.

Dawn & dusk reflect the in between times where the veil

between the spirit and physical realms are thinner.

On February 2nd, it will be the Imbloc aka Groundhog Day.

Our ancestors honored the Imbolc because it was the approximate mid-point between the

Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox, the first day of Spring.

Energetically, Spring starts at this time, as the seeds underground start thinking about waking up.

Use the new year energies of the Winter slumber to meditate on what you would like to see

come out of hibernation and rebirth whence Spring arrives.

We’ll delve into that next time.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Recognition Poem

Posted on by under Creative Writing, Poem, Poet, Poetry, Poetry Community

A positive self talk mantra asserts that the energy of recognition helps you take a different look at yourself. We often have a lot of self-criticism, which influences our self esteem in a negative way. Fear is often the barrier for doing what we really wish to do. Recognize yourself! Recognize others!

Devil inside, are you a better con artist than you are conning yourself into buying into?

Dark Nights of the Soul reveals light at the end of the tunnel.

She illuminates the shadows.

Us and Them segregations are cognitive distortions!

The blind man with his dog on vacation could have seen the Elephant In The Room coming . . .

In the beginning, there was the word.

And discipline derives its ancestry from the Latin root to teach.

A Higher quality of respect comes from feeling safe to learn,

even through peaceful and non-violent forms of tough love.

Fear of consequence avoids taking responsibility.

Karmic leveling impulses are not without natural and logical consequences.

They are not always seen and heard.

Bumper sticker:

Imagine the day the Air Force needs a bake sale to raise money for a 52-Bomber

Take it another step further and imagine there is no Air Force or Death Planes to raise money for!

From this perspective, there are No Fly Zones to fight o’er

the Ukraine or anywhere else for that matter!

They say we have the technology here on Planet Earth

to leapfrog over fossil fuels and send ET back home.

Why doesn’t the Secret Government come out of the closet about these self evident truths?

Taxpayers have the sovereign right to a Full Disclosure of their hard earned money at work!

The more aware that we are of our awakening awareness,

the spotlight of heart-centered mindfulness lays the cards on the table to call out the bluff.

The Spring Equinox, Big Night & A Full Worm Moon

Posted on by under Consciousness, Spirituality, Uncategorized

Here on the ground, the arriving Spring Equinox on March 20th means that more robins are around, singing melodious songs about the early bird getting the worm. A Full Worm Moon, also called the Sugar Moon by the Ojibwe, takes place on March 28th. The Ojibwe name was inspired by the time of year when the sap of sugar maples starts to flow. Of course there are other names for this Full Moon as well. Moreover, in Northern New England on Big Night, the salamanders, wood frogs, and peepers are driven to make their sensuous journey to find vernal pools to procreate, and embody being good role models for sustainable living on our Planet. We can do our part by respecting their natural intelligence, and way of life. How do they manage to muddle along, in spite of overcoming incredible obstacles, such as scary predators, and paved roads full of human traffic? How do they do this without any guidebooks, lesson plans, compasses or maps to show them the way? Talk about taking back the night.

Remember in last month’s blog that we discussed coregulation, which in part just means the process of learning to harmonize with each other, and our environment. We become more equipped to do this when we are true to our core, and centered in our souls. Awakening to our soul’s purpose, and discovering our human potential is merely seeing that “the Earth is like a reform school.” Moreover, the transition we are going through is that we are getting back to our connection to each other, and our connection to our Mother Earth. What better way to honor Women’s History Month in March? In a nutshell, nurturing this connection means that we are taking care of our home, school, and community. Of course we can do this best when we are meditating and connecting with Nature consistently. But without women or Mother Earth, none of us would be here.

Additionally, in this dreamy Piceas time of year, meditation on Whale is a powerful spirit guide to tap into the heartbeat of the planet, and deepen our understanding of our empathic connections to one another. Keep in mind that whales carry the memories of our planetary consciousness. Of course we come from different pods, and have our diverse expressions. But in our multidimensional depth, we can all dive into the fluid and elusive nature of alternate realities, and who we really are. From this standpoint, it becomes easier to appreciate the wonder and beauty of the world. “Day turns into night, and back into day, the moon waxes and wanes, the seasons go through their dramatic and subtle changes. When a flower blooms and starts to fade, we accept the poignancy of that change. Even if the decay of the flower makes us sad, we can appreciate it as part of the movement of life. Imagine what it would be like if things existed in a fixed way. Wouldn’t life get boring pretty fast?”

Cosmically, sacred geometrical Arcturian wisdom reflects that the vibration of integration asserts that “the energy of integration helps you apply new truths in your daily life. The energy makes you aware that you are responsible for your own actions.” Moreover, the dimensional shift we are discussing here mirrors our movement into a New Age and Paradigm, aka an Aquarian Age or a New Earth. You already all know that the empowered freedom we like to highlight, is followed by the attached earmark of responsibility. But you don’t have to look at responsibility as a virus feeding off of its host of freedom. Same thing with taxes. If you’re making enough money to complain about how much you’re paying in taxes, then you might want to examine what’s underneath your disgruntlement. But try to remember to be gentle on yourself about it, and not too taxing in your self reflection, if you’ll kindly pardon the pun. Besides, alternative energy starts with you, just as it starts with me. Do you see?

Perceptually, marinate on the increasing phenomena of ETs or multidimensional beings as analogous to when our ancestors started to experience the arrival of Europeans in “Longer Boats.” For example, it wasn’t until a trusted Shaman or Wise Elder was able to integrate the reality of these crafts into their perception that they could report back their findings to the tribe. And then medicine people could share their visions so that the clans people could begin to see the reality of their new vision. Aborigines initially thought white people were ghosts from the Dreamtime, which to be dead serious, is both true and not true.

In much the same way as back Zen, the experiences right Tao are not all good or bad. Try to see these experiences as part of our collective, universal evolution. In that light, it is important to see the silver lining, and focus on making positive interpretations. This New Age of Diversity in Unity means that all voices matter, and that we should honor our differences. We all have different talents, and strengths. But that doesn’t mean that we have to go to war with each other or fight to make certain talents or strengths more or less valuable to the greater whole. That’s why cults and fascism are easy and seductive paths to the dark side, if we don’t do our own shadow work. Shining the spotlight on “power to the people” features the Divine Light of our better angels. The democratic process can get messy at times. But in the long run, a longitudinal and patient pace is preferable to the quick fix, and short term profits. It’s hard to go wrong with a diversified portfolio that supports the greening of the planet. BIPOC, LGBTQ, Super Pac supporters, and people who identify as “young conservatives” can all agree to disagree perhaps on their apparant divergent heritage or political differences without arguing or fighting with each other or taking their points of contention personally.

Furthermore, give consideration that the reported close encounters with ETs or multidimensional beings is a vibrational shift of them “slowing their vibration down” in a way or framework that makes sense to our brain consciousness.  Reflect back to February 25th’s blog entry about coregulation. A simple shift in perspective allows for a co regulatory opportunity that we can meet together in collective consciousness, from a place of curiosity and empathy. These entities meet us where we are at, and we can meet them where they are at. When we step into our fears with courage, we can use the power of our visualization to build up “multidimensional immunity.” We can also see ourselves as protected by a “vibrational vaccine,” as a way to empower ourselves during this pandemic, and the Climate Change that we are weathering on the planet right now. Or you could just literally shake out any trauma or fears that you experience, like many animals do naturally. It is amazing what a powerful release this simple strategy can have on your mind-body-spirit. That’s why martial arts, dancing, movement, exercise, yoga, taichi, and qigong can be effective wellness practices for good mental health. Of course there is no replacement for good therapy for personal/spiritual growth. I mean, you get your oil changed for your car, right? Just sayin’.

Finally, we hear a lot about the Growth Mindset in education these days. Similarly, we have heard good and plenty about the decay that mental rigidity and fixed ideas do to our well being. Growth Mindset involves developing inner resilience as an opportunity for learning and growth. A Growth Mindset framework allows for a developmental, life cycle approach to learning. Rather than striving for perfection, it is understood that imperfections are just examples of mastery in brilliant disguises that just haven’t happened yet. Sometimes, growing up is one step up, and two steps back. But paradoxically, see those masteries as already happening, and on their way. This requires an agreement of letting go of control, being open to trust, as well as having an open, passive attitude about learning something new. Given my strong, oppositional streak, and built in anger, this has been a challenging life cycle issue for me to relax on, lean into, and embrace. Systemically, being vulnerable, fostering inclusivity and belonging are part of the cultural paradigm shift that needs to take root in the matrix that we are mixing it up in together. It comes from a synergistic bottom up, and top down fluidity, where we are all working together, in the spirit of common language, and win-win politics.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Inner Peace, Coregulation, Turtles, And A Full Snow Moon.

A Full Snow Moon arrives on February 27th, and welcomes back ancestral traditions of honoring this Moon for representing peak snowfall accumulation. If rocks are part of your spiritual path, it’s a good time to let them rest and recharge underneath this Full Moon so that you can recalibrate them in your sacred meditation space. We all need to rest, especially with the cultural war raging on, coupled with the slow melt of the pandemic. It isn’t just the school community I work in that is hitting the wall during these hard times. And the lingering shadows of Old Man Winter are nothing to sneeze at either, if you’ll pardon the puns. But visions of Vernal Equinox, and Big Night, when the salamanders make their romantic midnight run to get it on, dance sensuously in our hearts and heads. How do tiny salamanders make it to far reaching vernal pools against all odds? Indeed, they have great forces of Nature, and lurking predators to contend with. Maintaining perspective is a key dynamic to happiness as a way of life. Patience in communication with each other is critical to that. Building bridges of understanding in our connections with one another will support positive development in human relationships.

Switching horses for a moment, when I think of turtles, I think of survivors. Turtles have been around longer than humans, and have even left dinosaurs in the dust. If you’re anything like the rest of the planet and me, then you could probably stand to meditate on the virtue of patience. Whenever I feel like I’m pushing the river or running the hurry up offense unnecessarily, I try to remember to keep my wits about me by visualizing a turtle to help ground me to the Earth. If only I can catch the wave of a mindful moment to swim with the current by allowing what is to happen, rather than striving to make it happen. Easier said than done. In my younger days, the spirit of Rabbit dominated my energy field over Turtle, as I was almost always on the hop. Who would I be without the charge of my hypervigalant nervous woodland creature energy? Suffering from young man’s disease means that you see faster as better, and competative worrying as a strength. But as my years of living on the planet advance, I feel more connected to Turtle’s spiritual therapy these days.

Furthermore, it is wise to realize that happiness doesn’t mean that we are above or below the tones of pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feelings. If you are paying purposeful attention to your feelings, then you’ll notice that most of them don’t last more than 15 to 30 seconds. Indeed, they are like a river. So, what’s with all the sensational headliners? Is this suffering really an outrage or will this too so shall pass? Not to project my anthropomorphism onto Turtle, but I do believe their spirits will just watch without any judgment or clinging to any primary feelings or secondary emotions that might arise in its wake. Pretty sure Turtle wouldn’t get seduced into a partisan Congressional quagmired debate. No dark earmarks, bloated military industrial complex budget, Qanon or Trumpamania either. Perhaps more likely, we might entertain a peaceful, and non-violent act of civil disobedience. But melting the ice I don’t think so. This doesn’t mean turtles aren’t fierce or that they’re wimpy. They’ll let you know when they’re angry, and are good teachers on knowing when to retreat into your shadowy shell or let your head out into the sun for some vitamin d. 

More importantly, revolutionary spirit is in the air as we move in a New Aquarian Age. But what old ways still have meaning in this New Earth we are transitioning in together? Cocreating Heaven on Earth means that we are getting in touch with the better angels of our Higher Selves to support our universal connection to one another during our shared coexistence on Mother Earth. Diversity in Unity means that we are all connected. Like may attract like, but remember that even opposites attract because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. All voices matter so that we can honor our differences, and also be true to our oneness. Clearly, there are old patterns and wounds that we still need to release and heal before we can really move forward. Part of that healing is to hear that the attraction to Trump is “a belief that government should not run our lives, and limit our freedoms.” And while I can appreciate the sentiment, he is part of the problem, not the solution. BIPOC and LGBTQ + are not a threat to humanity, but rather weave an integral part of our collective inner tapestry.

For example, take a look at Bernie Sanders as an embodiment of revolutionary spirit, and of working Turtle energy in the positive. Now that’s an elderly white man of privilege that will give you the shirt off his back. All people like him are saying is that capitalism, socialism, and the democratic process can all coexist equally.  “The spiritual war that we have in our world right now wants us to cling to these fearful stories, take sides, and blame someone for our pain. We have to remember our togetherness and really what unites us which is our spirit. Our spirit is made of all of the same Divine Light.” Letting go of the Military-Industrial Complex’s concentration of power in our lives is breaking down, and we can see that through the eyes of disorder in our world. There is no one size fits all T-shirt folks. Don’t be tricked into believing that fixed ideas and attachments to them are not the real natural disasters and war drums that divide and conquer us. There is enough, and we can all win. It is unconstitutional not to level the playing field by promoting the general welfare of the public. But isn’t that obvious?

Looking back, we have discussed the growing body of evidence that supports the existence of the UFOs, extraterrestrials, multidimensional beings, etc. But keep in mind, there are many historical reports of these phenomena that existed prior to the Roswell incident back in July, 1947. For example, Leonardo Da Vinci was reportedly visited by “light beings”, and  Michelangelo, Christopher Columbus, and Nostradomus reportedly saw some sort of UFO or otherwise unexplained apparent aerial phenomena that shifted their consciousness back then. Also, there are many culturally accepted stories by Indiginous people about “sky people” that trace lineage connections to humankind. Here in America, “multiple states” reported sightings in the 1800s. In his book Passport to the Cosmos: Human Transformation and Alien Encounters (1999), the late Dr. John E. Mack, who was a Harvard psychiatrist, and department chair, came out for his support of his clients that claimed to have been abducted by aliens. Dr. Mack believed that his clients had experienced something real that was traumatic, perhaps that their souls had really been abducted. However, it was unclear whether this experience was physical or more multidimensional in nature. A trauma informed lens would appreciate the meaningful reality of what they went through that had lead to transformational experiences in their consciousness. What is it that we need to revisit in our consciousness? What more do we have to learn about the truth of this phenomena as the Pentagon continues to relax its guarded secrecy, and disclose the information that it has been hiding from us?

Additionally, during this “dreamy” Pisces time of year, it is a time to “let go, surrender . . . (and) connect to our oneness, own spiritual path, mystical side of life, (and) reorder the sacredness of life.” It is within the elemental forces now to examine an old part of yourself that needs to die so that you can be reborn. During this process, we are invited to face our fears, and explore what is hiding in the shadows of our unconscious so that we can “bring love to it.” Meditation on Venus’ rising tide evokes passages through a death/rebirth cycle of inner transformation that reflects an out with the old, in with the new perspective that mirrors springtime. Many moons ago, I remember an old friend saying that she “got depressed” around springtime. This makes sense because it is natural to grieve the loss associated with the death of the old self. You might not even like Winter, but even so it can be hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Remember that we are part of Nature, not separate from Her, nor Her seasons. But the sun of Father Sky still rises to lighten our spirits, and the Moon still shines on and moves the tides. As humans, we are mostly water, which is a conductor of sound frequency, which Whale is deeply aligned with. “We are assisting mother Gaia (Earth) in giving birth. She has been waiting for us, patiently. Her water has broken and we are gathered ’round to assist her in any and every way possible. She doesn’t ask that we prepare in any way. She simply asks us to show up and assist her to remain calm and trust that all will go well in her delivery process. The cataclysmic occurrences on the planet as of recent have simply been Gaia’s very intense labor contractions. She needs us now, more than ever.”

Finally, according to the sacred geometrical Arcturian wisdom, “The energy of frequency helps you remain within your own energy. Quite often we conform ourselves to others, thus raising or lowering ourselves to a frequency that isn’t ours. By proclaiming your truth with love, you will start processes that may influence others. More unity will be visible!” Moreover, inner peace is about a vibrational-dimensional shift that takes place from the inside out. That being said, a trauma-informed/mental health oriented term that is gaining popularity in schools today is called coregulation. When you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, anyway you shapeshift, coregulation is when we are able to influence each other in ways that supports empathic heartfelt connections with each other.

In conclusion, you’ve all heard the old saying, misery loves company. That’s why sympathy cards and gossip generate so much attraction. But generally speaking, neither does much by way of co regulation or helping anybody. There isn’t anything wrong with holding a sympathetic perspective toward someone or indulging in a little news gossip once in a while. There can be an element of catharsis to commiserating with a fellow coworker, peer, friend or family member from time to time. But just know that it doesn’t serve anyone’s well being when it becomes habitual, and ingrained in your everyday life. If anything, this pandemic has taken away the IV drip from the gossip and sympathy addicts. What have been their replacement strategies? While that remains a mystery, a 6th greader I know took my advice and has gone on a news fast, and has reported a significant decrease in his anxiety and paranoid thoughts. Also, I know many people who have started meditating, wearing items of power like crystal necklaces or other spiritual trinkets, playing around with smudging themselves or giving themselves energy baths with essential oils, or playing with chimes, singing bowls or utilizing meditation/mindfulness apps on their phones. These are all gadgets that help you make a dimensional-vibrational shift into inner peace, or become more adept at empathic coregulation. You can always become an agent of change by starting with yourself. Or you could just march to the beat of your own hum.

Take care of yourselves everyone,

Ari
