How to Use Sacred Geometry Visualization for Your Resolutions

 A spiritual lesson has the wonderful dichotomy of being something gained and yet also something that helps us be unburdened by negative constructs we might carry. Quality lessons offer gains and yet allow us to let go of proverbial baggage.

Sacred Geometry is depicted everywhere in nature visually.

Sacred Geometry assists revealing everything from building effective physical structures to comprehension of an effective meditative mindset. 

The study of Sacred Geometry enhances our comprehension of the physical and the metaphysical, perhaps Sacred Geometry is one of the effective means towards comprehension of the correspondences of the physical and spiritual.

Creating art in sacred geometry terms and shapes is known to be soothing and meditative. And yet Sacred Geometry is more than just visual shapes. Sacred Geometry is a study of perception of the physically measurable and non-physically measurable, of shapes and ideas. The subject of Sacred Geometry pertains to the study of shapes and deeper still it is also made up of a study of principles.

Of the many Sacred Geometry studies and principles one that is especially revealing and useful is the subject of the four dimensions of geometry and the four dimensions of sacred geometry thereby. The four dimensions of geometry reveal the four dimensions of meditation and the basis for sacred geometry itself. Points, lines, planes and solids correspond with concentration, connection, circulation, and unity expansion....<<<Read More>>>...

Accessing the World Within

 [Daily OM]: A guided meditation uses the sound of a person's voice to direct you through an inner process of relaxing your body and shifting your mind's focus. The voice may be a person in the room with you or a recording -- even something downloaded from the internet -- and it is generally spoken in soothing, soft tones. You may be guided to focus on aspects of your physical body, such as on your breathing, relaxing your muscles one-by-one, or on an area in need of healing. Sometimes it might involve visualizing a journey through the beauty of the natural world. Other times, you may be led to envision yourself working with light or energy, accomplishing your goals, or repeating positive thoughts in your head. Your guide may walk you through relaxation or motivation to help you change a habit, access untapped potential, or perhaps merely to find the silence within you.

Whether you are familiar with meditation or you are a beginner, being guided gives you the opportunity to benefit from the insight of others. There are numerous meditation and visualization techniques based in various spiritual philosophies and psychological applications. You may want to try several techniques to see what appeals to you the most, or just to gain a fresh perspective.

Guided meditation allows you to learn from others in a way that is similar to ones used by ancients the world over. Once learned, meditation is a tool that will always be available to you. Like having a tour guide while traveling in a foreign country, a guided meditation takes you on an inner journey. But this tour allows you to see and experience your own inner world, a place that truly only exists within you. The scenes created in your mind's eye can be revisited at anytime, without a guide, because once you have seen the fascinating landscape of your own inner terrain, there will always be more to explore.

What About Lambda? A Consciousness Expanding High Frequency Brainwave State for Advanced Meditators

[ iAwake Technologies]: Lambda brain waves, for those of you who have never heard of lambda before, are one of the lesser-known frequencies—one of the last to be discovered. They are very rare, and they are difficult to measure. They are a very fast frequency of brain wave that is way up, above even the hyper-gamma spectrum. With a lambda wave we’re talking 200 Hz.

In fact, the effects of lambda feel more like a slow, deep epsilon wave. Most of what you get from meditating with lambda entrainment is a lot like what you get from a really deep epsilon frequency, but without the drowsiness that epsilon tracks tend to induce—making it a lot more enjoyable (even just possible) for those of us who get sleepy in really deep states to actually experience the transcendent states you get with epsilon.

So when we’re talking about brainwave states, the delta frequency, which for a long time was the slowest frequency ever observed, is normally associated with deep, dreamless sleep. It goes from about 3.5 to 4 Hz all the way down to about 1 Hz. Below that, less than one cycle per second, we get into the range called epsilon, which can be as slow as even one wave every 10 seconds or so—these are very, very slow waves. In fact, epsilon is associated with people going into sort of a “stilled” state. It’s not like a near-death experience, but people can slow their heartbeat almost to nothing and slow their brain waves almost to nothing. When they studied it in meditators, they used the term “suspended animation.” Down at the very low end of 0.5 Hz or less, you start to get into epsilon. Then the lambda waves actually emerge on top of that.

Escape the Negativity Through the Power of Your Imagination

[Wake Up World]: The COVID -19 pandemic has completely changed our lives. Right now it is hard to look at a future that looks different to the present. We have yet to find a vaccine or proper treatment for COVID-19, but in the meantime, we have to shake the feeling of waking up to Groundhog Day.

So how do we cope?

We need to get out of this feeling of being stuck in the present – the sense of being at a standstill. Our mobility had become restricted, and the lockdown has also changed our perception of time. We have lost all sense of long-term time.

Because of 24-hour news coverage gone are the days of impartial broadcasting – journalistic broadcasters tend to ’emotionalize’ their news, emphasising negative outcomes of a story – basically scaremongering. Negative headlines outperform positive headlines, because negativity attracts attention. There is evidence that we might be neurologically wired to focus on negative information. When we are surrounded by negative information 24/7 it makes us assume that things are more dangerous than they are.

If exposure to news is causing you feelings of hopelessness switch off the news then you have immediately disarmed the enemy. We have no way of knowing what the future might hold for us. But there is something that you can do in the meantime, and that is, to take an axe to the glass walls that are surrounding your time-capsule....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Mapping The Inner Journey

[Daily OM]: Of the countless forms of meditation we can use, journaling offers its own unique benefits. Most meditations help empty the mind of concerns and bring positive ideas from our mental landscape, but journaling helps us anchor that experience in the material world.

Not every person is attracted to meditating in seated silence, and journal meditation is a nice alternative as an active meditation. It allows us to trace our journey and see where we have grown and what lessons we may be repeating.

By employing a different part of the brain than creative or inspired thought, writing or typing a journal can create a greater sense of connection and union with our physical selves and the world around us.

In working through challenges, it can be helpful to first empty all worries from our heads onto the safe pages of our journal. Fears can be brought to light rather than allowing them to haunt the dark corners of our subconscious....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

The Art Of Pathworking & Creative Visualisation


For many years Pathworkings were a closely guarded secret within Occult Schools and Lodges, and even then were kept mainly for the higher degrees. About 30 years ago a number of magi rebelled against this secrecy and let the cat out of the bag, making them available to a wider audience.

What Value Do Pathworkings Have? Pathworkings make use of two of humanity’s most incredible talents – imagination and our ability to create pictures in our minds. They are quite rightly called ‘workings’ because you have to work at making these inner films real and credible. They sharpen the senses and open the mind to the wonders that lie beyond the normal everyday world, in the world of the subconscious mind.

The practice of Pathworking also teaches the basics of the higher levels of symbology, without which the Greater Mysteries are almost impossible to reach.

So What Is A Pathworking?  
A pathworking is a journey between the worlds and one of the most exciting excursions we can take. It offers a path through the landscapes of the mind, ways that are as yet barely explored, to the last undiscovered frontier. Pathworkings are doorways between the known and the physical, the unknown and the non-corporeal.

They are accomplished through the medium of the creative imagination – the anvil on which all things created and used by mankind are made. They can cause physical effects in the everyday world, which is the main reason why they have been in secret for so long. It is also the reason why rigorous training in the control of imagination faculty is such a feature in magical schools and orders.

Scientists tell us that the journey we build in our mind is as real to the brain as our daily experiences. The world of the subconscious mind is a real world with real beings. The water is just as wet, the sun is just as hot. The only difference is that we can do things in that world we cannot do in this world.


Why? Because in the inner world we admit to no barriers. We use the same powers and senses we have in the real world, but there we believe in them. We think we are dreaming, but it IS real and can use the finer matter of that world to change this one ………

The Year is 2040 and Wanted Escapees Live Below Ground

I went to sleep with a clear intention of seeing what the world would be like in years to come. I set the time 2040, 41 years from now.

I entered into dream state. 

Immediately, my awareness was drawn to a myriad of tunnels below ground. People living in fear under ground. Aware of the dangers above their heads; surviving with scant possessions and limited supplies of food or water.

My entire night, last night, was spent exploring different scenarios. With insights on places below ground I didn't even know existed. I learned in times past, mankind had been faced with this same threat of extinction. Genocide by radiation is nothing new. So many places hidden from human eyes, on the surface of the world, exist below ground.

 I became aware of a future, where a group of mankind survive and flourish. Rebels by nature and rebels by name, hunted down by the human/A.I hybrids that wander the surface of the earth. But the atmosphere is too tarnished with electromagnetic radiation (EMR) to live; or wander for too long. My comprehension was that a net of dangerous radiation surrounds the earth; creating another world on a different vibration ... into which human awareness was taken. Leaving those that resisted behind ... on a world almost destroyed by the radiation. They were wanted like escapees, and were hunted by these hybrid beings.

I watched some brave souls of this group go up to the surface world to look for much needed supplies and un-affected water. A special form of clothing had been designed, somewhere, that enabled these travellers to wander the surface world unaffected, for a short length of time.

Towards the end of my time in this future society, I was handed some form of technology that explained the history of the world; it gave me clues and directives of where the world is going now ... I was shocked to read of events yet to unfold that I knew to be the truth.

Wake Up and Change the Dream of Reality – An Urgent Message from The Heart of the World

Waking Times: Do you believe that our individual and collective thoughts and prayers create our “reality”? In the Sierra Nevada Mountains along the Caribbean ocean in Colombia lives an indigenous tribe who believe that their thoughts, deep meditations and prayers literally hold the world together. They understand Earth as a living being and people as its children.

They also believe that the outside “developed” world, who they call “little brother”, is destroying Mother Earth and bringing on our own destruction.

In the late 1980s the Kogi, having noticed adverse changes in their natural lands, reached out to the outside world to warn the world, populated by the wayward “little brother”, that they were killing the living earth...read more>>>...

How to Practice Beauty Mindfulness

Waking Times: Another way you can train your operating system to unplug from from its habitual relationship with mental narrative (and thus its habitual relationship with the narratives of establishment propaganda and other power-serving cultural mind viruses) is to simply make a habit of constantly looking for opportunities to experience beauty. It also happens to make life exponentially more enjoyable.

Beauty is secretly just a word we use for the experience of truly having seen something. There are places that society has designated as Authorized Beauty Experiencing Zones, like art, conventionally attractive human bodies, flowers, sunsets etc, but it’s actually possible to have the “Whoah! That!” experience of beauty in everything which shows up in your field of perception. It’s just a matter of learning to make space for that experience in the crowded cacophony of the labeling, dividing mind.

You can begin creating this space by deliberately making a constant practice of seeking out opportunities to experience beauty. Like a novice weightlifter, at first this will mean starting with things that are easy for you; in the beginning of this practice, you will likely be mostly noticing things that you have already learned to appreciate as beautiful. Art and music you already like, faces you already find beautiful, aspects of nature you’ve already cultivated an appreciation for, etc....read more>>>...

Do Happy Organs Mean Healthy Organs?

Natural News Blog: Now what in the world do I mean by happy organs? And what does this silly concept have to do with health anyways? As it turns out, quite a lot. Recent research shows that the process of visualization can significantly increase your health, and it’s not by chance. Focused meditation can actually change your brainwaves, and this can have an effect on your immune system, stress responses and more.

Visualization is sometimes referred to as guided imagery or mental imagery. On a very basic level, it is a mind-body medicine technique where a person creates a metal image of a future event. There’s a more to it than that

In fact, visualization is a tried-and-true technique for manifesting a future goal, be it getting a pay raise, going on a vacation or healing from a disease like cancer. And in many instances, it works. Athletes use it to perform their best. CEOs do it to get contracts. And studies in neuroscience show its effectiveness as well....read more>>>...

Treasures From Our Past

Daily OM: Deep within each of us lives the child we once were. For most of us, our inner child lies hidden beneath the layers we've put on in order to become adults. In our rush to put on grown-up clothing and live adult lives, we may have forgotten the wisdom and innocence we possessed when we were children.

In meditation, we can connect with our inner child and reclaim what we have forgotten.

You can start by finding a photo of yourself as a child to look at for a few moments. School photos often work well to help you connect with this part of you. Sit in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and start taking deep breaths. Set the intention that you are going to connect with your inner child. Wait for an image of yourself as a child to appear in your mind's eye. See your grown-up self hugging your inner child...read more>>>...

Shamans 'astronauts of inner space'

S.O.T.T: Shamanism is as varied as those who practice it. Its practitioners range from indigenous lineages who have passed down their craft over thousands of years to the modern 'plastic shamans' (a.k.a Urban Shamans), who represent no specific culture but have adapted shamanism to meet the demands of metropolitan markets.

However, there is a common theme to shamanism wherever it is practised: the use of spiritual (or shamanic) trance to facilitate journeys to a non-ordinary reality. Here, in this non-ordinary reality, the shamans do their work. According to the historian of religion Mircea Eliade writing in 1951, shamanism is the 'technique of ecstasy', involving the purposeful invocation and use of dreams and visions to solve problems.

By this definition, shamanism is the landscape of the spirit-journey, populated by good and evil spirits and the souls of the deceased and yet-to-be-born. It is the place where mountains speak and Grandmother Skeleton points out which plants to eat when the dry season lasts too long. In this form, shamanism is everywhere in the old ways of humans. Every tribal culture - alive or dead - has some broker of spiritual capital. The Indonesian Mentawai have their sikerei. The Inuit have their angakok. The Columbian Desana have their paye. The Mongolian Buryat have their böö. The American Sioux have their heyoka ... read more>>>...

'Seekers Of Identity and Meaning

ONE
Gazing across the Great Sea towards the direction of the mysterious triad, He can no longer feel like ‘human’ … he is not allowed to be sad. His awareness must transcend … so being of the highest aspect will never end. He crosses the sand, then ceases movement, for seeing sand is a human explanation
 

Now in a great empty space he stands, and thoughts of the lesser human are gone …Above I am I, which is now him, the mystery of Ain Soph Aur … and ‘The Eternal Light’ I am I lifts its awareness to the moment something isn’t then is ...the miraculous creation of existing by a single thought … and knows why A stream of thoughts from beyond eternal light, travellers far from the upper aeons gracing the blueprint of life as infinite divine sparks, thoughts of life. I am I watches as the sparks glimmer and glitter … and disappear as they cross the sea

TWO
And then the chaos ceases, and he stands in a cube completely of white with no down or up, left or right. It suits him to think no form, here he is simply being retaining memories of soul existence merely as a reference point. Carefully lifting the veils of forgetting … remembering memories of spirit becoming more now what is beyond I am I. Gossamer threads of thoughts brush against his being and telepathy awakens … and he remembers existing within the one. A collective of many expressed as but one being safe there in collective sharing and thinking and knowing . A being which had lost its identity and lost its meaning willing many to separate and venture outwards to find identity and meaning. Thus the universes and the worlds were born as those separate found spaces where their thoughts took form and through that they began to think of identity and meaning worlds and galaxies shaped then as servitors sent forth to find those answers All that is, was and could be experienced by further fragments of the separated. All clones of the originals, all seeking identity and meaning …

THREE
His thoughts now drifting, colliding, confusing, merging. He stands on a world and above him a mighty rainbow, behind him a powerful cascade; a woman rides a mighty white horse. Thoughts colliding still … as he stands on a trail cut into red soil and then he remembers the world on which his separation connects. He recalls his own quest for identity and meaning. He returns back into that form ….

'Meeting The Ancients"

He awakens to the sound of the Eagle’s Cry; deep red and orange fill the sky The sun’s orb lifts slowly from behind the towering peaks, a voice in his mind speaks:

‘My friend it is good that you have made your return; I see sadness with what you learn; yet destiny is such, that the universe is forever learning; many trees once were burning, but, through their suffering the land could experience a cleansing; do nothing …’

He rejoices at the sound of his friend, The Kind Man … the traveller of the Shining Sun. He needs not to see his face, yet sadly he yearns still physical presence,  As Talks-With-Shadows, he’s learnt through the many years; to accept only a voice  For there have been many, many talking voices in his mind ….

He washes quickly in the cooling waters of the lake; he rekindles the embers of the fire. And sits in contemplation, listening to the supernatural silence of the valley. A silence disturbed suddenly by the cry of a wolf; then the screech of a Raven …Sensing movement, he watches through closed eyes the slow slither of a rattlesnake.

The touch of a sudden wind on his face, invisible fingers run through his hair, He wills himself into silence once more …. and accepts the journey so freely given. Shedding his mortal body with ease … he finds himself once more with the ancients …Sitting cross-legged upon the flat plateau of a red desert mesa …

All around him red soil and other red rock mesas, and a night time coolness to the air. He looks at the smiling faces of the three ancients, and knows infinite joy again. Silently, he follows their gaze and sees a distant light in the sky. The place that would become home …. that became home … that foreign shore …

With tears forming in his eyes, he sends out the direct thought ‘this is home not there’ As one, the ancients reply ‘think of the burning of trees, and the cycles of rebirth, you are there to let here replenish and recover after a necessary burning, your time here will come again, for already we witness the nurturing of new shoots despite the great efforts of the rogue ones of the place you now call home.’ …. copyright Matthew James 2018

The Reality of Shape-shifting

First of all, no matter what you do you are not going to physically turn into an animal, so just drop that idea right now. 

But, Shape-shifting is a reality though. It is done through creative visualisation so that you may carry the power and abilities of an animal with you when you need it. Drawing the courage of a lion in the face of adversity is an example where you can draw on the power of an animal spirit in such a way.

Shape-shifting is also a way of getting to know an animal better (the old walk a mile in their shoes bit or perhaps in this case it should be paws....) Finally shape-shifting allows you to take on animal form while on shamanic journeys or while you visit the astral plane.

To learn to shape-shift you should be in a place where you can meditate, but where there is enough room to move around. You should be dressed comfortably (or undressed comfortably, if that is your preference) so that you may move freely. Relax, close your eyes, call and greet the animal spirit you wish to shape-shift to. Let yourself become that animal in posture, stance, movement and sound. How does this animal see, hear, taste, touch, smell? What is it experiencing? Move as it would move. Become it with all the abandon of a small child. Experience it as long as you wish. When you choose thank the animal spirit that has helped guide you in learning its ways and then return to your human body...read more>>>...
