Life on the Leading Edge - A Traveling Companion

For a while now, my writing efforts have not found their way onto this page. Instead, a different venue was more appropriate. There are a number of blog posts on "Epiphanies, Experiences and Viewpoints" that have no text anymore. These were some of the quotes that were inspired from my Higher Self and I have gone on a journey to collect them and illustrate the meaning they had for me and my journey in a collection. This collection is now available here:

I am very thrilled to announce the launch of my first book. In just a few days it will also be available through Amazon in the US and Europe (links will follow). Signed copies will be available in Eugene, OR after May 6th through Quantum Perceptions LLC. 

Life on the Leading Edge - A Traveling Companion

I invite comments onto my Facebook Author page . It would be lovely to get a wide distribution and spread with many "Likes". 

Off I go, there's work to be done - the translation of Life on the Leading Edge into German is well under way, as is a new sci-fi novel ... stay tuned!

Relationship Affected by Ascension (addendum)

Every single day since the initial post entitled "Relationships Affected by Ascension" has been posted here, I have had visitors from all over the world finding it through their Google searches.
Somehow, I seem to sense that, although my post may be very well received, there is a sense of wanting to learn more. It is obvious that relationships are quite possibly the one thing we all either struggle with, find perplexing, or at the very least keep seeking.

From my point of view, being in relationship with others is not only necessary, desired, wanted, but clearly, inevitable. Most people fret over the deeper, more meaningful relationships (if they don't go the way they wish). Romantic relationships may be the winners when it comes to how deeply a relationship affects us. I think I could browse for days among the libraries or bookstores for books giving advice, depicting relationships, or simply drawing from the drama that can be had when we go through relationships. The material available would fill many storage facilities for sure.

I have said it before and will admit this freely to the public at large. I have no stellar track record when it comes to peaceful, functioning and healthy relationships. Really, I don't. I've left a trail of destruction in my wake and have cried many tears along the way. One thing my journey through my own relationships has shown me, is the realization that the most important relationship I need to tend to is the one with my (higher) self.

No matter how I improve on my interpersonal skills, if my relationship within me isn't what I want a relationship to be, I will not be able to have a romantic relationship that brings me what I most desire. There are ways to tend to one's own inner relationship that range from meditation to self-talk. In addition, I have found one tool that has worked miracles and kept me going. It is humor. Most people live with the tendency to take everything way to seriously. I have learned to laugh about myself. I have learned to poke fun at the not-so-wanted scenarios I create from time to time. I laugh at the drama that unfolds before me and own that I am the common denominator in all of it. I focus on being easy with myself. I let myself off the hook a lot and when I can't, I even take a time out from myself for a while and focus on other things that please me.

True, love is important in anyone's life. Usually, we look at others to buck our current of self-deprecation and hope that they love us despite of it. There are some lovely souls who see beyond the energy patterns of our not-so-loving beliefs we hold for ourselves. Praised be those who manage to keep their eyes on our source alone and love us through it all. However, ultimately, it is imperative in my eyes to learn to love, laugh, and live happily within ourselves, even if we find ourselves without a romantic partner at times. Whatever else comes our way in ways of (romantic) relationships after that will surely be very pleasing.

What Now?

Have you noticed how time has sped up yet again? Have you noticed that some days flow in absolute perfection, whereas others are seemingly made of contracting energy, drawing everything back onto one point? I have had these experiences and mused over how to navigate through these energetic currents. I was wondering about the cause of these energetic fluctuations and found an answer that resonated within me. Apparently this is a phase of active magnetic pole reversal. This shift isn't going to happen in a few days. It takes years to complete. It has been going on for about a decade already. It seems to me that these past few weeks have shown these energetic, magnetic changes strongly.

When I think of a magnet, when I think of positive and negative poles of a magnet and I think of how these poles are in the process of swapping places, it becomes clear to me, that in order to swim with the currents, so to speak, we are called to apply a different focus on our daily lives as well.

In general, the action journey has been the modus operandi here on Earth for the past 26'000 years at least. We make things happen. We are warriors, fighting for whatever we believe in - or are we? The action journey is clearly powered by the masculine/yang energies. The opposite pole to that would be the feminine/yin energies. Of course, it's never exclusively all masculine or all feminine. I'm well aware that we apply a mix of these polar opposites in our daily lives and sometimes we actually manage an even distribution of them and those are the glorious days of balance.

Since we are mostly very aware of how to live from the point of the masculine perspective, I believe we have the opportunity to go through a pole reversal individually within our own energy systems. The return to the feminine principle may turn out to be what we are called to do in order to manage the energetic currents that be.

In my understanding, the feminine principle, which has been associated with "love" (as opposed to "power" for the masculine principle) draws its power from the non-action of yielding, of allowing that which is to be as it is. There are of course many more qualities we can attribute to the feminine principle, but I want to focus on what I believe to be an initial step towards embracing more of it in our lives. The idea of this yielding energy is to steer away from the flawed belief that wants to tell us that we get more of the unwanted things in life if we allow them. However, based on energetic patterning and principles, the more we give energy (thought, focus, emotion) to something, the more we draw that very thing into our experiences. When we learn to yield, to allow, to be ok with things as they are, we stop the fight. When we stop the fight, we stop being resistant to our own energy flow. We can then realize that the fight has only been going on within ourselves in the first place. When we stop the fight, we turn away from that which we do not want and therefore stop giving it our energy, our attention. When we do that, the unwanted will perhaps not vanish over night (I'm pretty sure it doesn't), but we can side-step out of the engagement that has existed before and it will become less prominent in our lives and affect us a great deal less than before.

I am not proposing that we all now drop all action and become passive. What I am saying is, that in order to navigate the magnetic pole reversal's energetic demands upon our human existence, we are being pressed by these intense energy currents into reversing our own inner energetic poles from mainly masculine towards more of the feminine, so that at the balance point between the two opposites, the life journey will be first an inner, emotional journey, with inspired action at the intuitively perceived right (for the individual) time.

Resolving Remnants of Resistance

Ever so often, I find myself resisting. It's human nature still to push against that which is experienced as unpleasant, in an attempt to make it go away. We are all pushers to a certain degree. I count myself easily belonging to the league of the mighty pushers actually.

After many attempts of pushing away the unwanted stuff, I have to admit that no matter how strongly I have pushed against the unwanted, I have not managed to make it go away. I haven't managed to fully forget either. Even the greatest and most noble attempts of living in a sense of active forgiveness have only produced mediocre results. I found that even in the best efforts given, there comes that moment where the old, unwanted moment, the old memory or what have you, pops back up to grin at you with that wicked smile. It's just not gone altogether. 

When something is attempted a number of times in various ways and it does not produce the wanted result, it is time to shift. I have a tendency to shift 180° and try out the opposite of what I have been doing. It seems to be my nature. Hence, I've gone all out and decided that that which I have been trying to forget, get rid off, or simply deny, is a part of me. It's an experience that has caused me to be the me I am today. It's an integral part of me that I had been trying to push away just because it was unpleasant. It goes without saying that pushing away a part of who I am, just isn't going to work. 

Instead, I'm finding it rather easy to view the unpleasant events as something that needs to be integrated, embraced, allowed to exist within the totality of who I have become because of it. This thought relaxes me deeply. I yield, I allow, I embrace, I accept and I become whole through it. The cramping energy of wanting something to go away can relax along with my embrace and I feel myself expand to become that which I already am. I become that which I have previously allowed plus that which I have erroneously tried to do away with. Through this act of allowing, I release remnants of resistance and embrace myself in the totality of who I am - I touch upon my true self and that always feels good.

Creative Masterpieces of Limitation

Not long ago, I was pondering the nature of creativity. I ran through a whole number of different points of perspective until I found one that strongly resonated with me:

It is indeed a creative masterpiece to bring about the complete illusion of limitation, while in truth being in essence limitless, infinite consciousness. The greater the experience of limitation, so I found, the more ingenious the application of creative powers. Those who find their way back from limitations into the unending freedom of their true nature of limitlessness are those who have indeed found a way to truly savor the game of life.

Abundance is a law of nature. It is the normal state of affairs. When we allow ourselves to take the focus away from our self-created illusions of limitation (oh it feels so very real at times, doesn't it?) and turn it instead towards the true unlimited nature of our being, we will (so logic has it) turn things around and experience a normal state of abundance instead.

Truth be told however, sometimes, I admit, I think that I am almost a bit enamored with my ingenious self-created illusions, even if they are experienced as limitations here on Earth (or perhaps rather because they are...)

A Joyride

By paying attention to your emotional state and seeking methods and ways to think of something that makes you feel happy and by doing so taking focus away from the energetic grids and constructs that pertain to your personal human belief system, you invite vibrational alignment with your source. 

The experience of life on Earth then shifts from a sense of it happening to you while you are powerless and immersed within it, to understanding, that it is a mere reflection of who you are. In fact, it already is that – a reflection of who you are, of your thoughts and beliefs and emotions. The so-called negative emotions just signal that what you experience and see is the reflection of the beliefs you hold and the positive emotions signal that you are experiencing and seeing a reflection of your own source. 

The choice what you wish to experience and see is always yours. To me it  takes the form of a joyride, a prospect filled with exhilarating joy to align and see and experience the source through my human eyes and body, reflected back at me through my earthly experiences.

Sovereign Existence as Creator Beings

We experience something at any moment in our lives. This can be something new or the same old stuff that we have experienced day in and day out for all our years. We are here to experience our reality. From the moment of the first breath as a newborn, we begin our physical experience. We are the creators of our own individual realities

Each one of us has surely had the feeling or experience before, that someone else has done something to us, or that there were circumstances that were simply against us. Humans are very practiced at complaining. Yes, we are really very accomplished in that regard. Almost daily, we manage to complain about this or that. Very often, we complain about other people. Just look at the arena of politics for example, there is so much that we can complain or whine about. That’s alright! All this is, is an experience of powerlessness. In and of itself, this is not a bad experience. No experience is a bad experience actually. In each experience lies the seed for another experience, perhaps even an experience that is completely opposite the one we have just experienced.

With thoughts that arise from the contemplation of our experience of powerlessness, we create the basis for the next experience of powerlessness. It happens very fast. We are also very practiced at creating a new experience based on the one we have just experienced. We do that with almost every experience automatically. It is because of this cycling, that we experience most things to come at us from outside. It is this type of perception, which keeps us from true conscious creatorship. Each time, we decide that our experience has come from outside, we give away our power to the circumstances, or to other people. We may of course operate this way. It is absolutely allowed to do that. Nobody will ever be punished for this. The Universe will very patiently bring us the repeated experience of powerlessness. In this manner, we travel the same cycle over and over again and do not create much of anything new.

A truly conscious creator will create new things and experiences. A creator who stands in his/her power will not create experiences of powerlessness. A true creator will take full responsibility for his/her creation at any time. He/she will stand at the center of their  own creation and will see without the slightest doubt each and every detail, from the smallest to the largest, as a result of his/her own creative forces. To accept the full responsibility for one’s own creation means nothing other than to consistently cease to blame others or complain about anything. The whining is done. Only when we are able to recognize everything to the last detail as the result of our own creation,  can we step into the place of sole creator of our own reality. In that place, we stand in our full power and can begin to see our creations with spectacular clarity. Furthermore, such creations will match that which we actually desire to experience.  

At the point where we are ready to take full responsibility, we can exit the cyclic re-creation of that which already has been experienced and enter our rightful place of powerful sole creators of our own reality. This sovereignty brings us into the full alignment with our source. From this place of alignment and clarity, we step out of the unconscious floating among the masses into the conscious existence of a responsible and accomplished creator being.
