HEART MAGIC

Dying to the self

There is no doubt, the energy of the heart is magic. Those who have tasted, felt or touched their heart know its power, its bliss and its vastness. It is the most advanced intelligence, and I would even say technology or tool, that we have access to inside of this human experience. When we find our heart we realize that everything that our mind or body has created or tries to create, pales in comparison to what and how the heart creates. Resting into the heart reveals a way of being, seeing and relating that includes everything and everyone inside of it. Nothing is left out and everything is loved. With this knowingness everything is possible.

If the heart is so powerful how come more of us don’t access and use it? Well my friends that is a good question. Why don’t we? The easiest answer I can give is because it means death of our ego. This means death of thinking that our minds know best, death of what we think we want, death of our life lived for own pleasures and preferences. Death, death, death. My friends we don’t like death. In fact as a society we pretend that death doesn’t exist. If we do acknowledge its existence our perspective of it is grim, depressing and full of sadness. Something that is so obvious and undeniably evident and yet we deny it, try to postpone it, hold on for dear life, that is until we simply can’t anymore. If we learned to allow things to die, if we gave everything it’s rights back to it’s natural course, including our wants, desires, dreams, ideas, perspectives, and so on, we would more easily find our heart. We would naturally find ourselves open to whatever is and in the field of infinite possibilities rather than finite completion. We would instantly reconnect to the magic.

Why death you ask? It is death of the individualistic, of the egocentric, of the self-centric focus, of which none of us escape. We are born innocent, without a self and in connection with our essence. Then we develop an ego in order to survive our world. The more our personality and identity develops the more we forget our original self. It is the natural course of human development. Without our ego mind we would have a very hard time adapting to or being part of this world. But the journey doesn’t stop there. There is development of our being which is beyond the mind, it’s simply that we have to give the reigns over and let something else be in charge. From the perspective of our human identity this feels like death. To our soul however it feels like coming home. It is a birth, yet to our mind’s ideas about what life is or should be, it feels like misery. We can either involuntarily collapse into suffering and feel victimized by the happenings of life, or we can voluntarily die to our stories, ideas, hopes and dreams and open into a world of wonder beyond where our mind’s imaginations lie.

WORLD OF WONDER

Voluntary relinquishment

The voluntary choice to relinquish ourselves is what is called surrender. People like to think that surrender is easy and they use the term casually, but to truly surrender means that you will likely feel the pain of death. It means you are willingly opening into that pain which you’ve done your ultimate best to avoid acknowledging or feeling, and you are choosing to let die that which is ready to die.

So you’ve gone through the death portal, now what? Now you are open, available and you just are. Your heart is free. You are at peace. You’ve let the resentments, angers, insistences, pushes and pulls all go. You are simply available for exactly what is in front of you. You are no longer wishing that something else was. The longing for something different dies and you arrive into the present moment of what is here now. You feel humble and available. You don’t know any grand knowledge. You’ve just let the things go. They’re gone. Now life can move through you unimpeded. This is the beginning of the field of heart magic and the world of wonder and awe.

The more times you go through the death portal, the more you rest into this field. As you let things be as they are, more and more this field of wonder opens up to you. You might not be overtly aware of it at first. It may be more subtle and just beyond your ordinary resting awareness. You might notice an increase in synchronicities or being more telepathic, such as knowing when someone is going to call you or manifesting the best parking spot. You might feel less tense. Your breath might be easier and you feel less agitated or anxious in a general sense. Things seem to take a bit less effort and you feel less depleted. As you rest more and more into the field of the heart its presence is more obvious to you, and you begin to see and know the interconnectedness and inseparability of everything. More and more you see everything as one all pervasive, intelligent and sovereign love.

The field of heart magic is a collective or unified field. When you are rested in the heart, then other hearts will feel this and respond to it. They might not even know why they respond, they just do because all are connected at this level of the field. Even if people knowingly or unknowingly respond to it, they may still have doubts, insecurities, feel separate, and choose their mind’s ideas over this all loving love. Again giving up on our picture of life does not come easy. We typically need to experience some life disruption, pain or suffering to get us to even entertain surrender. If our life is too easy or comfortable there is nothing to push us into the next stage of development. We need some kind of catalyst. All of the catalyst you experience, the disruption, the pain, the suffering, the confusion is all to get you to your edge, to where you will willingly surrender, so that you can find your way into the heart. Next time you are experiencing some kind of distress, something that you don’t want to be feeling or experiencing, remember this is exactly what you need in order to help you open into the field of heart magic. Rather than turning away, face forward and move into whatever is presenting itself to you. Even if it doesn’t feel like it, it is a gift. Given to you by you, to help you remember your very nature, your most essential self, and your complete heart.

Group Consciousness

Group field effect

The atomic nucleus. Abstract representation. Image molecules and atoms We are all impacted and influenced by one another. Never is that more apparent then when collective instability arrives. For example someone is scared or upset and we begin to notice how it rattles something inside of our being. We can find ourselves listening to someone speak or reading a piece of news and find ourselves caught in a fear loop, when just 5 minutes earlier we were going along happily without a fear in the world. The opposite of this is true as well, meaning we can hear someone speak something inspiring or motivational and shift into joy and bliss in a single moment. This impact on us, dreadful or joyful, can spread if we let it and if it spreads enough, meaning impacts a certain number of people, it creates a group field or group consciousness. The more energy that is given to a particular thing or idea the larger it grows and the more opportunity it has to impact and engage more consciousnesses into it. Group fields make information more accessible to more people and with that more people being influenced by the information that is contained within that field.

Due to the fact that we are all humans, experiencing this reality together, we each feel the effects of group fields to varying degrees. Our beliefs and perceptions filter how we will experience the information that is contained within a group field. If we have a belief or perception that is incompatible with the information in the field than that information will not really land anywhere in our system. However if we have a belief that is compatible or in resonance with the information contained in that group field than we will be influenced by it. This is neither bad nor good. Its is inherently neutral. It really is simply a resonance game. We are energy beings, being impacted by larger energy fields (group consciousness) and energy either finds resonance and amplifies or finds dissonance and cancels itself out. For those scientifically inclined we see this in physics with wave interference patterns that are either constructive (increase the amplitude of the wave) or destructive (cancel out the wave).

When we are talking about group fields it really is about what do we want to amplify (bring more energy too) and what do we want to cancel out (i.e. not add energy too). Each point within a collective field (being you or I) has an impact on the overall field and how much energy that field will contain. We often don’t realize that we matter and make a difference to the collective overall experience, but indeed we do. In fact it would be impossible for you not to have an effect, unless you had absolutely no energy to you at all, which would mean that you were not embodied. But the hard cold fact is that you are indeed embodied, therefore you have energetic influence that is filtered and directed by your thoughts and beliefs.

Collective purging

Embracing instability

Office chaos The energy with which we give things has an effect. Not only a collective group field effect, but also a physiological effect on our own nervous system and thus the functioning of our body. We are all familiar with this through the stress response. When we perceive a threat, we go into “on-guard mode” also known as self-protection or stress, and our bodies produce chemicals aimed at immediate survival. This is a healthy response when its warranted. Its our body’s way to keep homeostasis, self-regulate and purge what is no longer needed or working for the system. We typically don’t feel well when this response is activated. Our perspective is also narrowed and focused only on immediate survival. No energy is available for anything else. This response is what most people call sickness, though its really just the body purging to keep itself well.

Purging occurs at the collective level as well. Times of collective instability such as wars, pandemics, economic crashes and like are the ways in which the larger societal or group system that are no longer working optimally deconstruct in order to reorganize into a more energy efficient configuration. Nothing is more unstable than collective fear and chaos. Almost no one would argue that our world is in need of some massive upgrades, that many of our systems need a complete reboot, yet when the waves of instability come crashing in we may not always have the insight to see how what is currently happening is part of what will enable necessary change to occur because we are fully in the “sick” phase where the energy for such insights is not available to us and our perspective is narrowed. Also although most wouldn’t argue that world change is heavily needed, simultaneously people like their sameness, consistency, and external stability. Most also dislike putting energy into rebuilding, so when the waves of instability come, we activate our stress response in attempt to keep everything the same and hopefully prevent “bad” change, and then add that energy of frozenness to the collective field. A frozen collective field will need more waves of instability (meaning more chaotic events) to eventually allow reorganization and change to happen, as change will always happen.

So what can we do? Learn to ride the waves of instability rather than being submerged underneath them. Embrace the constant ever present change that will never stop coming. Relinquish your attachments to things having been a certain way and invite the novelty of what will arise on the other side. Discern your fear from your intuition. Follow your intuition in taking action in whatever ways you need to and that you feel will best support the collective field of humanity. Meditate and activate love through your entire field adding that to the collective mix; it is more far reaching than you may know. Realize that your energy will effect the outcome, as well as the learning and change that becomes available to humanity through this global destabilizing force we are collectively experiencing. Allow any emotions that arise to be felt permissioning your heart to open even more deeply and transmuting fear into love. Lastly Be well no matter what. True well-being is independent of any and all circumstances. It arises as a knowing in you that no matter what you and all are ok. This knowing and the emanation to it through your field allows you to be a guiding light in the midst of darkness for many.
