Spiritual Mind or False Soul versus Essence - Part 2

When some years ago, on my path of awakening, going through what I can now call “the dark night of the Soul”, my Essence clearly invited me to let go of all of my spiritual practices and to just breathe and learn to listen to my heart and follow it, I knew it was something I had to do in order to surrender to the loving arms of my Divine Presence. I also knew it terrified me to be left without any rituals to hold onto to keep me safe. What I didn’t know was why it had to be like this for me.

Now I know. I know it was because, having lived spirituality in so many shapes and forms in countless lifetimes up to now, I had created a very strong Spiritual Mind and I had of course misused this power – more often than not – in the name of God. It was therefore essential for me to let go of everything in order to find my true Isness. Nevertheless, the practices I came across and used in this lifetime all helped me open up my extrasensorial sensitivity, refining my intuition and clearing my body and mind enough for me to see it was time to release these practices in order to dive into the New Energy and discover my multidimensional senses.

Having said this I will now be bold enough to say that Religion, all Religion is one of the most powerful breeding grounds for the False Soul. I do not intend, with this, to say that Religion does not have its purpose for mankind and that it has not served many productive purposes. What I do intend to affirm is that it is within Religion that humanity’s shadows are shrowded most cunningly, thus hiding the Darkness under a cloak of makeshift Light that when uncovered is nothing more than a huge Power game, one of Control and Manipualtion that pretends to be nice and serve, when in fact coldly requires servitude and commands destruction of all that do not follow suit. The beautiful message that Religions convey has been so overlayed with the devious need for Power that when treading the footsteps of any religious practice, one needs to keep a clear heart in order to discern beyond words and rituals what really and truly speaks the language of love and remains untainted by control.

Further even, on this shaky ground, I will dare to say that Morality, Activism and being Good are strong warriors of the Spiritual Mind. Morality belongs to the realm of judgment, which in turn is the seat of the Mind. Essence is intrinsically pure. Following its discerning Wisdom never brings harm and there is no such thing as sin, shame or guilt in the Compassionate Embrace of Isness. Activism requires Power, Proof, Separation, Fight, an urgency to force people to see, to awaken, to change. Essence does not and cannot force. It is a flow and in this flow there is no righteousness.

Ok. We all know change is upon us. But no one can be forced to awaken. This is something done by Free Will and it works through Conscious Awareness. The more people who are Consciously Aware, the more accessible this potential becomes, the more people can see it, the more people can choose it. Fighting, no matter for what purpose, is a Power game and the only thing it can achieve, in the long run, is the same vibration, the same kind of consciousness that has lead the Cruzaders to invade Jerusalem, the Inquisition to burn “witches” on the stake, Muslim extremists to train suicide bombers, Irish separatism… and so much more…

Last but not least, being Good - which has a very tight bond to Morality and Activism. Essence does not need to be Good… or Bad… It IS. The Mind, however, the Spiritual Mind, has many ideas about what Good is and easily bans what is perceived as Bad. So a strong Spiritual Mind will always perceive itself as Good, which makes it, of course, hard to discern as not being the Real Soul. How can one’s Darkness seem Good? Do not be fooled. It is Darkness covered in Sugar and Light and its favourite dinner is getting us to stand up for a Cause, to morally fight for Truth, to actively wave the flag of Righteousness and follow a Purpose of Light, irrespective of the consequences.

To get rid of it in one go, have the courage to let go of Spiritual Practices – even if temporarily, just letting them come back to you as they serve your choices moment to moment. Have the courage to let go of a Purpose, to let go of a Cause, to let go of the Light, to let go of Morality, to let go of having to be Good in search of acceptance and recognition, to let go of a Fight for Justice, to let go of a need to Save humanity and the World, to let go of the Search for Home, to let go of God, to let go of Spiritual Diets and Rituals, to let go… to let go… to let go… until you feel so empty ( and hopefully not terrified J ) that the only thing to do is surrender completely to your Essence – to learn how to see, feel, BE.

Then it all comes back to you. No worries. No fight. No point proving.

By the way: not even Darkness is Evil. Evil is a concept. A Moral concept. Darkenss holds Light within it and disappears when it is exposed under the radiance of Essence. It comes back Home. It IS.

Death to Aspects and the Danger of Change

Aspects dread death – their own death… but only when we are so attached to them we fear losing them, in other words, losing identity. This fear is sometimes hard to discern, because on one hand we can be choosing to let go of the need for these Aspects, yet on the other hand, deep down, resides a lack of trust in our capability to steer our lives without their rudder to guide us. It always, always boils down to lack of trust, our own lack of trust. Therefore, these Aspects we have decided to invite back home do not trust our choice either. Of course.

Choosing to integrate requires change, and change is dangerous in the eyes of any Aspect, unless we are accepting change with no resistance whatsoever. Unless we are committed to change. In fact change is the only constant in Human life. Nothing stays the same, ever. Only the Essence, being formless, is immutable in its void. Its intrinsic Silence, Compassion, Joy, Freedom, Simplicity… none of this changes, though it assumes different dimensions when coupled with the individuated Soul’s experiences, expanding its expressed potential. This is how Human and Divine – the Divine Human – bring more to Essence than its everlasting nature.

Acceptance is key to transcending the Mind’s perceived loss of Freedom to control us, because only Acceptance allows change to do its alchemy of ressuscitation. Aspects can then safely die, letting go of their Freedom to control all details in order to keep us “safe” from death, knowing that they will still be serving us through their own death, by allowing us to be rebirthed.

The reason why Humans in general fear death is the very same reason why Human Aspects fear death – loss of identity, loss of control, loss into the unknown.

Once these perceptions of loss disappear gradually through consistent Trust in the equation of change through the footsteps of Essence, fear of death also disappears, as does the notion of danger.

Funny thing that we (our Aspects) may fear change and at the same time shy away from surrendering to Essence – which is the only Safe Space where Presence is Constant! Duality is a real comedy show J

Porquê tanto alvoroço em relação aos Aspetos? /So what's all the fuss about Aspects?

Não há alvoroço algum ;) É essa a questão!!!!

O Despertar é apenas um passo na nossa viagem de Integração. O primeiro passo, aliás.

O resto vem com tentativa e erro, onde o erro perde a sua profundidade e se torna apenas mais um passo, mais uma respiração.

A Integração – ou seja, tornarmo-nos nesse claro e transparente lago de infinitos potenciais sem nenhuma ligação específica a traços fixos de Personalidade – não é um concurso de medição de forças. É um fluxo livre de poder, conforme começamos a desfrutar da vida de formas novas, deixando que as nossas escolhas nos encontrem em vez de corrermos atrás delas, permitindo que os nossos Aspetos se dissolvam neste claro e transparente lago de Ser, apenas porque não lhes é dada mais atenção. Mudar hábitos conscientemente é algo que se faz sem esforço quando aceite inteiramente. Isto, só por si, integra Aspetos.

Mas o nosso lado Humano PENSA que isto é demasiado simples – bom demais para ser verdade – e lá vamos nós, por vezes presos na rede dos julgamentos, outras vezes em luta contra nós mesmos… Exceto quando nos permitimos saber que estas são apenas mais umas quantas estratégias ilusórias para nos manterem afastados da nossa Essência.

Para se poderem integrar, os Aspetos precisam da nossa Confiança na nossa Essência, precisam que fiquemos em Casa – Presentes – e precisam que deixemos de lhes dar fuel. Sem julgamento, sem argumentação, sem rejeição e certamente sem irmos atrás do seu engodo, deixando-nos apanhar na sua aliciante malha de propósito. E é só.

E porquê integrar agora em vez de deixar para mais logo?

Porque não há mais logo! Apenas parece haver. O tempo espirala sobre si mesmo. Quando ficamos conscientes de algo é porque chegou a hora. Se não fosse o momento apropriado não teríamos essa consciência.

Apenas um pequeno lembrete de que os Aspetos Humanos se integram na Vida Humana. Pode até acontecer às portas da nossa morte, com a nossa última respiração, mas não depois dela. Por isso, quer pretendamos ou não regressar a este belo planeta, quanto mais integrarmos agora, mais suave e alegre será o tipo de experiências que vemos e nos permitimos viver.

Com Amor

 ***

There’s no fuss ;) That’s the point!!!! J

Awakening is just a step in our journey of Integration. The first step, actually.

The rest comes through trial and error, where error loses its depth and becomes one more step, one more breath.

Integration – in other words, becoming a clear, transparent pool of endless potentials with no particular affiliation to fixed Personality traits – it is not a Power measuring contest. It is a powerless flow as we start enjoying life in new ways, letting our choices find us rather than chasing them around, letting our Aspects dissolve in this clear, transparent pool of Isness just because they no longer get any attention. Changing habits consciously is effortless when accepted fully. This per se, integrates Aspects.

But as Humans we of course THINK that this is too simple – too good to be true – so we get ourselves tangled up in judgement mode some of the time and in fighting against ourselves the rest of the time... Except when we allow ourselves to know that these are just more illusionary strategies to keep us away from our Essence.

In order to integrate, Aspects need our Trust in our own Essence, they need us to stay Home – Present – and they need us to stop giving them fuel. No judgement, no argumentation, no rejection and certainly enough not going after their bait, getting caught up in their enticing hook of purpose. That’s all.

And why integrate now rather than later?

Because there is no later! There just seems to be. Time spirals over itself. Once we are aware of something it is the time. Otherwise we would have no such awareness.

Just a small reminder here that Human Aspects only integrate in Human Life. It can happen on our death bed, with our last breath, but it cannot happen afterwards. So whether or not we intend to come back to this beautiful planet again, the more integrated we are, the more smoothly joyful the range of experiences we will perceive and allow.

Sobre a Linguagem da Essência - Parte 2/ About the Language of the Essence - Part two

A few years ago I had the privilege of participating in Norma Delaney (Aandrah – the Doctor of Breath) and Garrett Annofsky’s (Ahn) Master Mentoring programme (mentors of the New Breath Poject) where I learnt much about Compassionate Isness, how to find my Essence’s name – sound vibration, how to discern between mind chatter and Soul wisdom and so much more I cannot define. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity on my path to expanded awareness. As goes a saying in Kwan Yin’s Divination Poems: “ … such a wise one, to meet him is luck itself! When you meet true richness, unbelievable wealth comes.”

Há alguns anos atrás tive o privilégio de participar no programa Master Mentoring (Coaching de Mestria) de Norma Delaney (Aandrah - a Doutora da Respiração) e Garret Annofsky (Ahn), ambos mentores do projeto New Breath  onde aprendi muito sobre Ser em Compaixão, sobre como discernir entre a conversa da Mente e a Sabedoria da Essência, sobre como descobrir o nome da minha Essência (vibração de som), e tanto mais que escapa a qualquer possível definição verbal. Estou profundamente grata por esta oportunidade no meu caminho de expansão de consciência. Como diz um dos milenares Poemas de Kwan Yin: "... alguém tão sábio que conhecê-lo é pura bem aventurança! Quando te cruzas com a verdadeira riqueza, sucede-se inacreditável abundância."

One of the things Norma taught us to do, and which I now share as often as possible, was a simple way of realising the difference between personality Aspect’s language and the Essence’s way of communicating. She invited us to divide a page into two halves (vertically) and write Mind on one side and Soul or Essence on the other. Then she asked us a few simple questions like: What’s my name?; Where do I come from?; Where do I live?; Where is my home?; What am I doing here?; Why did I come?; Who am I?... (to be asked to ourselves). Some answers seem quite obvious, others not quite so but the amazing thing is that none of the Mind’s answers match the Soul’s ones neither in length, neither in content. In general the Soul’s answers are much shorter and simpler and of course, deeper. In order to answer through the Mind all we had to do was reply straight away. In order to listen to the Soul’s reply we breathed deeply and softly, connecting with our Centre, staying in our space of Silence and letting ourselves not think the answer but perceive/feel it.

Uma das coisas que a Norma nos ensinou a fazer, e que agora partilho tão frequentemente quanto possível, foi uma forma muito simples de discernir a diferença entre a linguagem dos Aspetos da personalidade e a forma de comunicar da Essência. Ela convidou-nos a dividir uma página em duas metades (verticalmente) e a escrever Mente de um lado e Essência ou Alma do outro. Depois colocou-nos algumas questões simples (na primeira pessoa, como se nos perguntássemos a nós próprios), tais como: Como me chamo?; De onde venho?; Onde vivo?; Onde é o meu lar?; O que faço aqui?; Porque vim?; Quem sou eu?... Algumas das respostas parecem bastante óbvias, já outras nem tanto assim, mas a coisa mais espantosa é que as respostas da Mente nunca condizem com as da Essência nem no tamanho, nem no conteúdo. Em geral, as respostas da Alma são muito mais curtas e simples e claro, mais profundas. Para respondermos à questão através da Mente apenas tínhamos que responder de imediato. Para ouvirmos a resposta da Essência, respirávamos suave e profundamente, ligando-nos ao nosso Centro Vital, permanecendo no nosso espaço de Silêncio, deixando que a Mente se aquietasse e que a resposta fosse sentida e não pensada. 

At first, when the mind is very active this can be a bit tricky, but as with everything, consistent practice bears fruit and after a while the difference becomes clearer and clearer, also because the Mind becomes quieter and quieter since it starts to understand that we are choosing another Master.

A princípio, quando a Mente está muito ativa, pode ser desafiante, mas como com todas as coisas a prática produz os seus frutos e após algum tempo a diferença entre ambas as respostas torna-se cada vez mais clara, também porque a Mente se torna mais silenciosa, percebendo que estamos a escolher ouvir o nosso Mestre interno. 

Then we were invited to present our questions - any questions – we had in our daily lives first to the Mind, letting it answer straight away and writing down the answer and then to the Essence. The treasure behind this is that we are not trying to shut the Mind up, we are giving it its say. Then, once it has spoken, it becomes easier for it to quieten down for a while, thus letting us listen to the “voice” that is whispered from the Silence inside. Doing this several times a day brings such a level of clarity that sooner or later it becomes less and less necessary, because it becomes easier to discern without writing, though for the stickiest issues it always helps to write so we can get out of the thinking mode when listening to Essence and then read what we have written, because it often happens that we only grasp the Essence’s reply after having written it and reread it! And many times, rather than answering, the Essence asks us another question… and another… until we get deep into the feeling and eventually understand.

Depois fomos convidados a praticar com as nossas próprias questões sobre o nosso dia a dia primeiro à Mente, deixando que respondesse de imediato e escrevendo essa resposta, e depois à Essência. O tesouro por detrás desta prática é que não estamos a tentar calar a Mente, estamos a dar-lhe a palavra. Assim, uma vez que se tenha expressado, torna-se mais fácil que se aquiete para que possamos ouvir a "voz" que o Silêncio interno sussurra. Implementar esta prática várias vezes ao dia traz um nível de clareza tal que mais tarde ou mais cedo torna-se menos necessária, porque conseguimos discernir o que sentimos sem termos que escrever, ainda que quando se trata dos nossos desafios maiores seja sempre muito útil escrever para que possamos sair da cabeça e depois reler o que escrevemos. A verdade é que ocorre com frequência apenas conseguirmos realmente entender a resposta da Essência após termos tomado nota e relido! E muitas vezes, em vez de responder, a nossa Essência lança-nos uma outra questão... e outra... até que mergulhemos profundamente no sentir e eventualmente entendamos. 

So I wrote numerous “diaries” with these Mind and Soul conversations and would often ask my Essence to show me how to do/see things differently, how She (though with no gender :) ) would do/perceive a situation. It helped me in so many ways I can’t begin to enhance the value of this in my transformation – in my whole life.

E assim fui escrevendo numerosos "diários" com estas conversas de Mente e Alma e pedia com frequência à minha Essência que me mostrasse como fazer/ ver as coisas de forma diferente, como Ela (ainda que não tenha género :) ) faria/percepcionaria a situação. Isto ajudou-me de tantas formas que não posso deixar de salientar o valor que teve na minha transformação - em tudo na minha vida. 

Recently a friend of mine was having some trouble discerning how to integrate a recurrent issue, an Aspect she has invited home many many times and integrated, only to create it all over again out of sheer habit and because it’s one of those sticky issues that are quite cunning and hard to discern. So the exercise in this cases is, when we go through a given situation that involves these repetitive patterns and we become aware of it afterwards,  ask the Mind what it thinks about the situation and then ask the Essence how “She” would have behaved, what would have been Essence’s choice in that situation?

Recentemente uma amiga minha estava com alguma dificuldade em discernir como integrar um assunto recorrente, um Aspeto que ela já tinha convidado a voltar para Casa muitas vezes, e havia mesmo diluído e Integrado, voltando depois a recriá-lo por força do hábito e porque se trata de uma daquelas questões internas bem pegajosas e difíceis de contornar. O exercício neste caso consiste em perguntar à Mente o que tem a dizer sobre uma dada situação recorrente e depois perguntar à Essência como "Ela" teria feito, qual teria sido a escolha da Essência nessa situação?

This helps us become even more aware of the pattern and when a situation related to it occurs again we already know what the Essence’s choice would be so we can then choose to act accordingly, if what we want is to change the pattern and finally integrate it.

Isto ajuda-nos a ganharmos ainda mais clareza acerca do padrão e quando uma situação relacionada ocorre de novo já sabemos qual seria a escolha da Essência e podemos então escolher agir em concordância com esse plano de Consciência, se o que queremos é realmente mudar o padrão e finalmente integrá-lo. 

Another helpful tip is not to get frustrated and start judging ourselves as “incompetent”, “incapable” and so on. This not only does not bring any awareness at all, it gives strength to the already strong Aspect we have “been trying” to integrate. Trying is not enough! Trying is part of the defense mechanism that says “I’ll try, but if I can’t it’s just because I’m not capable…” and other argumentation strategies that are not, in any case, reflections of the Master’s full responsibility for all creations :) Either we do it or we don’t. No trying in between. And even if we have to show it to ourselves 50 times, we are doing it, not trying. This is what I meant with my last blog post “Your trust needs to be felt”. Trying is not Trust ;)

Outra dica útil é não ficarmos frustrados e começarmos a julgar-nos de "incompetentes", "incapazes" e por aí fora. Isto não só afasta o discernimento, mas também dá força a esse fortíssimo Aspeto que temos "tentado" integrar. Tentar não chega! Tentar faz parte do mecanismo de defesa que diz "eu vou tentar, mas se não conseguir é porque não tenho capacidade..." e outras estratégias de argumentação que não são um reflexo de tomada de responsabilidade por todas as nossas criações, em Mestria :) Ou fazemos ou não fazemos. "Tentar" não chega. E mesmo que tenhamos que mostrar-nos a nós mesmos a mesma coisa 50 vezes, estamos a fazer, não a tentar. É isto que quero dizer com o meu último post "A tua confiança precisa de ser sentida". Tentar não é Confiança ;)

Trust is not just a Word... from Aspects to Essence :)

Aspects of Personality are created to interact with the world, be it the world of others or our own with ourselves. These are the parts of us that perceive reality and respond to it accordingly. They can be clear, in which case they are created for a purpose and diluted as soon as the purpose disappears. We use these clear Aspects for simple things like making tea or brushing our teeth, getting dressed or cooking a meal. Depending on our memories of these things, which at some point may have created a minor trauma, these Aspects come and go or remain fixed in their ways, thus being a bit less than totally clear. Aspects become stuck to the extent of our sensory memory’s recollection of emotional trauma and this could relate to a simple thing like getting burnt while frying an egg, thus generating a self-protective attitude towards this activity or something more emotionally charged like having a car accident and becoming afraid to drive in certain circumstances that might seem similar to that prior occasion.

The reason why it serves us well to break habits is the flexible flow of clear Aspects, as we practice becoming detached from a certain outcome and are able to experience and let go moment to moment. It shows us how to live an emotionally balanced stream of experiences, in total self-respect towards our integrity, in harmony with our expanded awareness, not giving heed to energy “gobblers” like worry or fear…. Yes, “gobblers” – all these Aspects do is gobble up your energy in order to keep on creating perceptions of fear and worry, leaving you feeling as depleted as a banquet after the guests have all gone home J And the largest “gobblers” are not the ones you notice, they are the ones you don’t even realise are there pulling all the strings and making all of the decisions, making you feel good sometimes, bad sometimes or somewhere in between, like for instance the Spiritual Mind or False Essence I have spoken about recently. It also stems from fear, of course, but keeps that well hidden.

As to these energy “gobbling” Aspects, what we call the stuck ones, these create the noise inside. The voices that speak to each other in our heads, that sometimes agree more than others and vice versa. They invariably become stuck as a self-protection mechanism, shielding us from possible pain through the fear trigger which withholds many different types of emotions, depending on the issue at hand. In other words, they are the need to have things under control, even if it ultimately can translate into panic attacks or whatever other reactions of loss of control may appear. The purpose is always self-preservation, which is in any case quite different from self-respect and requires huge amounts of our energy to sustain.

May it be clear that our purpose with life on Earth is to create (Aspects and all else to interact with form and the formless), experience and expand or transcend, which means to integrate into the infinite pool of Isness we ultimately begin and end to BE. Thus Aspects of Personality are necessary in all shapes and colours and their ultimate purpose is always to come back to the pool of Expanded Awareness, the God-Self that Is, adding to it the vast richness of experiences, free from the illusionary trappings of adversity, drops of pure Consciousness with no emotional affiliation. This is what happens when any Aspect integrates. Its “story” is dissolved and its Wisdom is added to the Whole Oneness of Essence, expanding it further – whatever this expansion truly means cannot fully be explained in words.

All of this to say that no matter how stubborn some of these Aspects of ours become, when invited to integrate, they will… eventually. And the reason I say eventually is because for this to happen you have to lead by example, meaning you have to trust that your Essence is All that Is, the Oneness that is God also, connected to the Whole of Isness. You have to prove that these Aspects are no longer serving a purpose in your Life. This is something Aspects hold very dearly - after all their purpose is to serve a purpose!!!! If you keep on falling prey to their ways of perceiving and acting towards situations they will still be fulfilling a purpose and cannot, therefore, integrate. So you see, with the Spiritual Mind that makes us feel like we are listening to Essence, creating a sense of expansion even, one doesn’t even feel like inviting it to integrate because it feels so good, necessary and appropriate – how is it ever going to come back home?... When you acknowledge its existence and decide to really want to feel and listen to the love of the Essence, becoming more and more aware of the difference between one and the other.

One of the most subtle traps with stuck Aspects is wanting to force them to integrate. This stems from judgement and creates a battle inside. A war against yourself. No matter how much you repeat that “it is enough” and that you no longer want this kind of behaviour/experience, you need to prove it by not reacting in the same stuck way when faced with the same types of situations which keep on coming and going – they are a gift, a blessing, not a misfortune! They are your opportunity to listen to your Essence and to learn a new way, to trust and let go of what you (your Aspects) knew to be true.

I have seen it happen so often that a person chooses to integrate a part they finally recognise as no longer serving a purpose according to what they are now choosing to experience, only to go ahead and do it all over again (act/think in the exact same way) without even being aware of it. And, some time after realising this and becoming rather angry and frustrated at themselves, lost in judgement and wanting to force things to change. This, in any case, rather than integrating Aspects makes them much stronger and much harder to discern, more subtle and manipulative.

Patience, Acceptance, Transparence, Humility… Compassion… Compassion… Compassion, Perseverance, Courage, TRUST, Compassion… Awareness, Letting go, Silence, Compassion…

Aspects need to feel, words will not convince them of anything. Your trust needs to be felt and no amount of controlling, manipulating, forcing, or analysing will do the “trick”. Much on the contrary, it will validate the Aspects because this is how they function and you cannot beat an Aspect at its game.

So it’s quite simple really! J Just get out of your own way and let you come back to You J

Just a footnote here to say that I refer to Aspect as “they” because they are parts, not the One and each one has a purpose, which is in other words “a mind of its own”, so it’s like a whole tribe with many different purposes, all performing to the best of their capacity. Quite a colourful party going on inside! hehehe

Sobre a Linguagem da Essência/ About the Language of the Essence

Conforme já mencionei, trabalho com a Integração de Aspetos da Personalidade no mar infinito de Essência que todos Somos, ajudando as pessoas e reconectarem-se completamente com a sua Divina Essência, o seu Deus Interno, a sua Presença, a sua Alma, o seu Ser… tantas formas para dizer algo que não carece de palavras :) Desenvolvo este trabalho quer em Sessões Individuais de Integração, quer em workshops de grupo através das Constelações de Alma e Aspetos (e outras experiências de tomada de consciência). São ambas ferramentas absolutamente preciosas no caminho para a autodescoberta, mostrando claramente o caminho de retorno a Casa – ou… como perceber que a nossa Casa está e sempre esteve no seio de cada Um, Aqui e Agora. Mais uma vez algo que escolho não esmiuçar com palavras.

Tudo isto para dizer que uma das coisas que mais amo acerca do que faço é perceber através de centenas de diferentes pessoas que a Essência da Alma de cada um fala invariavelmente a mesma linguagem. Isto torna tudo tão simples! Nenhuma Essência difere na sua Compaixão Ilimitada, no seu Carinho Amoroso e Terno, no seu Silêncio e Equilíbrio, na sua Sabedoria Pacífica, na sua Graça e Beleza, na sua Alegria Borbulhante, na sua Inocência Transparente, na sua Clareza, na sua Perspetiva Ilimitada, na sua Liberdade… Tudo o que todos os que estão no seu caminho, despertos, sabem ser em cada um de nós Deus também. Esta é a tão aclamada Unidade a que muitos Humanos almejam regressar. Nesta linguagem não há esforço para compreender, quando ouvida Essência a Essência, e por isso não há também esforço para explicar. A comunicação torna-se fluida e abre os corações que se permitirem reconhecer e receber o Ser. É assim que todos os jogos de esforço, guerra e separação, dificuldade e dor, escassez, ódio e vingança… se tornam obsoletos, mas aceites e compreendidos como fazendo parte de viver na 3D e destrinçar as suas complexidades ilusórias. Torna-se possível observar, desapegar e escolher a Sabedoria Única da Presença, que não impõe uma nova realidade, apenas a mostra como potencialmente possível. Cria um novo Template, um novo “holograma” de possibilidades apenas porque ao vivermos uma realidade diferente a tornamos tangível. A Presença pode ser acedida pelo Um em todos, ainda que na sua maior parte não seja ouvida ou entendida pelas multidões.

Ninguém é forçado a ouvir a linguagem da Essência, não faz lavagens ao cérebro ou imposições. O que faz é limpar a mente, quando deixamos que assim seja :) Fá-lo para que a Mente possa estar ao serviço da Essência em vez de ser o Humano ao serviço da Mente. O Ser desconhece a intolerância e a sua Paciência não é abalada por quaisquer “guerras” que possam estar aparentemente em ação.

O interessante é que a linguagem da Essência também é assertiva e despe o abuso, mostrando-o claramente. Mas fá-lo com tanta graciosidade que nunca é agressiva e pode ser facilmente aceite. Quando não o é, não há tentativa de forçar o entendimento, porque a Essência não necessita de aceitação externa. A sua única afiliação é com a Verdade – sendo esta um conceito unificado muito muito vasto e mais uma vez para lá dos limites das palavras, que pode ser conotado apenas com a Unidade em si mesma.

É a particularidade de a linguagem da Essência ser tão simples e coerente que facilita o discernimento entre a verdadeira Alma e a Mente Espiritual ou Falsa Alma, à qual me referi no post http://inpassionpublications.blogspot.pt/2016/07/spiritual-mind-or-false-soul-versus.html.

Por outro lado, devido a esta mesma simplicidade, a Mente acaba muitas vezes por ganhar pois a linguagem da Essência é tão não-invasiva quanto assustadora para os Aspetos da Personalidade que têm o Poder. Isto faz com que seja por vezes mais fácil seguir as argumentações manipuladoras e muito convincentes da Mente, justificando sempre porque as coisas não podem ser feitas como a Essência sugere. E eis que os próprios Aspetos que querem ser integrados, ganham ainda mais Poder do que tinham antes, pois a nossa falta de verdadeira confiança e entrega à simplicidade da Essência leva a que esses mesmos Aspetos continuem a ser necessários.

Outra questão pertinente: então o que nos diferencia e nos torna únicos? Sendo que somos “todos iguais” na nossa Essência???

Não, não somos todos iguais, apenas derivamos da mesma Fonte Única de Ser. Na qualidade de Almas individuadas temos um vasto acervo de experiências e não há sequer duas Almas que possam ter tido uma existência exatamente igual, nem na forma, nem no conteúdo, nem na perceção e reunião da matéria com a anti-matéria. Isto significa que, ainda que sejamos todos este fluxo contínuo de Ser Deus, também somos Deus a Ser de inúmeras formas distintas. É a união desta reunião única de experiências que Somos com a Unidade que nos assiste que cria a possibilidade de transcendência das limitações da matéria enquanto Humanos Divinos, celebrando gratos por toda e qualquer experiência.

Somos simultaneamente os Um e os Muitos num embrulho Único de Vida expressa. O propósito da Integração é precisamente terminar a viagem de sermos apenas os Muitos, esquecidos do Um, para que o Um se possa expressar através dos Muitos, de uma forma completamente consciente, trazendo a riqueza da consciência expandida para a Vida encarnada.

É precisamente por isto que todos os Mestres Ascensos se expressam de formas distintas, cada um único em Si Mesmo, ainda que a energia consciente por detrás das suas palavras possa ser compreendida pela Unidade em todos nós, de uma forma que supera as limitações das palavras.

A comunicação através da consciência expandida é a dádiva da Essência que permite aos nossos corações falarem entre si sem o estorvo de perspetivas limitadas :) Isto leva a que muitas vezes as pessoas não se consigam lembrar do que se passou durante um dos meus workshops ou sessões de Integração (especialmente se forem pessoas muito ativas mentalmente) porque a Mente não consegue traduzir esta linguagem instantaneamente. A Mente leva algum tempo a converter as gotas de Sabedoria em dados que possam ser compreensíveis. Seja como for, algumas horas depois e nos dias e semanas seguintes, ocorrem imensos momentos de clareza, em que os botões do entendimento são ligados e de repente tudo fica simplesmente transparente.

A linguagem da Essência é uma pura dádiva da Unidade. Sejamos capazes de aceitar esta bênção e de a usar para dançar pelos salões de baile da vida :)

Deixo aqui uma nota de rodapé sobre o medo que os Aspetos da Personalidade têm da Unidade… um medo de tal ordem que conseguem imitar a Unidade para que não tenham que diluir-se nela! Na Unidade deixam de existir, voltando ao vazio amplo e pleno da Essência, onde não há ego, mas continua a haver experiência. Desta feita, os Aspetos mais teimosos podem ficar descansados porque a sua sabedoria será usada e a sua existência não terá sido em vão ;)

As I have mentioned before, I work with the Integration of (Personality) Aspects back into the infinite pool of Essence that we all Are, helping people reconnect completely with their Divine Essence, their God Self, their Soul Presence, their Isness… so many ways to say something that does not require words J I do this either in individual Integration Sessions or in group workshops through Soul and Aspect Constellations (and other awareness experiences). Both are absolutely precious tools in the path of self discovery, clearly showing the way back Home – or… how to realise Home is and always has been within each One, Here and Now. Once again, something that I choose not to envelop in words.

All of this to say that one of the things that I most love about what I do is coming to realise through hundreds of different people that the Soul Essence always and invariably speaks the same language. This makes it all ever so simple! No two Essences are different in their Boundless Compassion, Warmth and Loving Care, Silence and Balance, Peaceful Knowingness, Infinite Wisdom, Grace and Beauty, Bubbling Joy, Innocent Transparence, Clarity, Unlimited Perspective, Freedom… Everything that everyone who is on their awakened journey truly knows is GOD, and therefore each one of us Is GOD also. This is the much acclaimed Unity (many) Humans strive to come back to. In this language there is no effort to understand, when heard Essence to Essence, and thus no effort to explain either. It makes communication completely seamless and opens up all hearts that allow themselves to recognise and receive Isness. This is how all of the games of struggle, war and separation, strife, hardship and pain, lack, hatred and revenge… become obsolete, yet accepted and understood as part of living and unraveling 3D reality’s illusionary complexities. It becomes possible to observe, detach and choose the Unique Wisdom of Presence, which does not impose a new reality on anyone else. The only thing it does, when we accept it, is create a new Template, a new “hologram” of possibilities just because by living a different reality we make it possible. It can always be accessed by the One within all, even though many times not heard or understood by the multitudes.

No one is ever forced to listen to the language of the Essence, it does not brainwash by imposition. It does, however, clear the mind when we allow it to J So that then the Mind can be of service to the Essence rather than the Human being of service to the Mind. The Essence knows nothing about intolerance and its Patience is unscathed by whatever “war” might be apparently at play.

The interesting thing is the language of the Essence is also assertive and strips abuse bare. But it does so in such a graceful way that it is never harsh and can easily be acknowledged. When not, there is no intention to force understanding either, because the Essence does not strive for outward acceptance, its only affiliation is Truth – which is a very, very vast and once again wordless unified concept that could be connoted with Unity itself.

The fact that the language of the Essence is so simple and coherent is what makes it possible to discern the False Soul or Spiritual Mind I spoke about in my last blog post (http://inpassionpublications.blogspot.pt/2016/07/spiritual-mind-or-false-soul-versus.html). 

But it also makes it very scaly territory, since it often happens that the Mind wins. The language of the Essence is so non-invasive but on the other hand so scary to the Aspects who have the Power, that very often it becomes easier to just follow the Mind’s manipulative and very convincing argumentations as to why things can’t be done the way the Essence says they can. And thus the very same Aspects that have come forth for Integration are the ones that gain even more Power than they had before, for lack of true trust and surrender to the simplcity of the Essence.

And now another question: so what makes us all different and unique then? Since we are all “the same” in Essence???

We are not all the same, we derive from the same Unique Isness. As individuated Souls we have a vast ocean of experiences to our existence and no two Souls can have had the exact same experiences and the exact same way of perceiving them and using them to evolve the endless possibilities of matter coupled with anti-matter. This means that, though we all Are this One Stream of God Being, we are also God Being in all sorts of different ways and it is the reunion of this uniqueness with our Oneness that creates the possibility of Divine Humans transcending the limitations of matter and gratefully celebrating all of their experiences.

We are the One and the Many all together in a Unique bundle of Life expressed. The purpose of Integration is precisely to end the journey of being only the Many, in forgetfulness of the One, so that the One can express through the Many in a completely conscious way, bringing the richness of expanded awareness into Life.

This is precisely why all Ascended Masters express in different ways, each one unique to Oneself, but the conscious energy behind their words is understood by the Oneness within us all in a way that overcomes the limitations of words.

Communicating through expanded awareness is the gift of Essence that allows our hearts to talk to each other without the encumbrance of limited perspectives J This results many times in people not being able to remember what went on during one of my workshops or Integration Sessions (especially when they are very mentally active people) because the Mind cannot instantly translate this language, it takes time to convert the drops of Wisdom from the Essence into data that the brain can use. Nevertheless, hours later and in the following days and weeks, there are endless “aha” moments, when clarity clicks the buttons of understanding and all of a sudden things become simply clear.

Alas, the language of the Essence is a pure gift of Unity. May we be capable of accepting this blessing and using it to dance through life’s ballrooms J

Just a footnote about the fear Aspects of Personality have of Unity… such a fear that they even manage to mimick Unity so as not dilute in it! In Unity they cease being, to come back to the no-thing-ness of Essence. No-thing-ness means no Ego, but it does not mean no experience. So stubborn Aspects may rest assured that their wisdom will be used and their existence will not have been in vain ;)
