Broken Dreams 2009 by the Campana brothers

Broken Dreams 2009, the highlight (excuse the pun) of the new Campana installation Glass Experiences at the Coach House Gallery, Waddesdon Manor. The bricolage wall light, made entirely from redundant glass objects, was created by the Campana brothers in collaboration with Venini, the Venetian glass makers. Almost as impressive as the Waddesdon tulips.

Apart from the obvious argument for sustainable art & design, there is something very satisfying about using found objects in the creative process. V

Ezekiel interprets human DNA

Merkabah: the human DNA inter-dimensional field

Ezekiel references the chariot of ascension or “Chayot” as 4 living angels, with 4 faces and 4 wings, an ancient description of what has come to be connected with the Merkabah. Incidentally ‘Merkabah’ is used in the Old Testament 44 times, that’s 44 uses of a term with aspects allegedly numbering 4-4-4, (Wiki, ref: Merkabah).
That’s a lot of 4’s.

In Kryon’s most recent channel “DNA Revealed” which is due for publication in book 12, a 3rd mention of the Merkabah is made since 1987, this time with more detail and thus highly significant. Kryon has been teaching for some time that our visible strands of DNA are but two of twelve, that not only are the other ten strands quantum, but that they are in fact what we will come to acknowledge as our consciousness.
In esoteric terms, this is our divine aspect and our Akash, that accounts for 90% of the DNA function, the 90% that scientists call ‘random’.
Kryon confirms the sacred geometry that has been long associated with the Merkabah, that of the star tetrahedron. The tetrahedron is a 4-point pyramid, which when slotted together, (4-4), forms a 3D 8-point double tetrahedron, or 2D 6-pointed star, more commonly known as the Star of David. Note more 4’s with the tetrahedron.

It strikes me as poignant that Ezekiel’s Merkabah math of 4-4-4 adds to 12, and that literal translation of “Chayot” is ‘living creatures’. Could this be a reference to our 12-stranded DNA? Kryon confirms that the human energy field is our DNA, that the Merkabah is the human inter-dimensional field in the shape of a star tetrahedron.
Ezekiel describes “the likeness of man” as driving the chariot, but what is it that the chariot – the Merkabah – transports exactly? Kryon states that human DNA is “more than chemistry, it is a field and a portal… these things are the mechanics of Spirit”, that the quantum aspect of our DNA is that which is connected to All That Is. It would appear that our random 90% of DNA may be Ezekiel’s “likeness of man” that transports our divine aspect, the bright spark we intuitively suspected was there all along.

Ultimately, what is the significance of the Merkabah, our DNA inter-dimensional field? The significance is that it is quantum, thereby intelligent, it has the wisdom of many lives lived, and that it is on stand-by, waiting for our permission to assist us in our everyday lives, that all we need do is simply ask, and trust that it knows what is in our highest good.

Dear Spirit, dear DNA, examine the life that I have and give me those things which will enhance it.”

Namaste

A Blanket of Compromise

It strikes me as odd that we find so much comfort from that old friend (?) compromise. It is a strange friend that wraps a blanket of false dreams and hopes around our personal universe… heaven help us if the blanket slips or we dare take a peek above it, what will we see? Well let me tell you as someone who knows – a world of multi-dimensional explosive colour that rocks the very foundation of everything we think we believe in.

AUTHORS WARNING – if you are wondering ‘what is that madman talking about?’ then stop reading now because you have not yet glimpsed beyond the blanket and doing so may seriously change your day…
If you are still with me then I suspect you have already stepped forward, and if like me you are well down this path then this next bit is really quite amusing. However if you are new to this, it may seem somewhat harsh – but trust me, it will make you smile in the end.

How weird to wake each day and watch the layers of compromise peel away, only to spend even more energy compromising the compromise in the vain attempt of staying firmly in the middle of the same path. What is even more unsettling is the world we now glimpse is one we always knew about, and lost somewhere around puberty when we were trying to be what we thought everyone else wanted us to be!
So it goes like this – I set out on a journey along time ago with the objective of reaching the peak of a beautiful mountain – I cleared the foothills and have worked my way through the lower slopes, some challenging, many beautiful and rewarding. On this climb I meet wonderful people and experience many joyous events. Then one fine day I make it through the tree line and can see clear air for the first time since the plains of my youth. Why then, am I feeling a creeping sense of unease, rather than elation? Out of the corner of my eye I can see another peak, one that calls out with clarity of my youth. Slow realization dawns that I may have taken a wrong turn and need to be in a different place!
So what do I do now you may ask? While I refrain from this turning into a counseling session, I can assure you that drinking copious amounts of beer, crying, screaming, working even harder, or taking up jogging, all work exceptionally well at blocking the view of that marvelous peak in the corner of our eye, however as we continue to climb, the view becomes clearer and increasingly more difficult to ignore. DO NOT PANIC! Everything we have done, everywhere we have been, all our experiences, all the people we have ever met, are the reason we are here, and why we are who we are. Nothing has been wasted – no regrets – our journey continues on regardless as we climb new heights. The perceived change in destination does not negate the past, or what we have experienced, the contrary is true, it allows us to view our path with reflective wisdom. There is only one rule to remember (important – I will test you later!) – this is our personal journey, we are doing it for ourselves and not for anyone else. Ok, ok, settle down, I have heard it all before – ‘its not that easy’, ‘that’s selfish’, ‘what about my ______ (insert appropriate name of kin, dog or fish)?’. Remember the rule – my journey. This being our personal journey does not negate interaction with others – imagine how happy our loved ones will be when they truly grasp how joyful we are?
Lets assume we’ve stopped fighting it (it being the courage to follow our heart), and we have decided that compromise is not allowed to play any more, what now? FREE TIP (generous to a fault) – shine a light on your world and look very carefully at what you see, then take a piece of paper and make a list of all the things that really make you smile. Right, STOP NOW! Start again please, and this time be really really honest – this is YOUR list – ok better.
Scary eh? Some really amazing things on that list I bet, totally priceless actually. More surprising are the things we leave off! Now we have a real ‘makes me smile list’, and not quite so difficult to move forward when we trash the retrospective silver linings we trace along those missing items.

I love my list, no honest, I really really love my list, and am compelled to grin, Cheshire-cat style, most of the time! Let me explain – my list is small and not very complicated – by spending more time with the items on my list and less with the ‘false prophets of happiness’ acquired from other peoples lists, I have smiled more outrageously, more frequently and longer than for many a year.
So this is fab – my whole world is going to be one great big smile and a never-ending bag of Twiglets right? Sorry, no. This is going to be BIG, and involve BIG change, even those connected to us will experience the change even if they don’t want to. ‘HELP’ I hear you cry, ‘what can I do?’ This may sound a little twee, but it is the best advice I can offer…
~ for the adults around you, try and explain – I know its difficult, it’s like trying to explain colour to someone who only sees in black & white – but keep trying with compassion and love at all times, however hard that may be
~ for children, realise that we spend so much time telling them to grow up and be more responsible, and yet the times we need to talk to them about ‘grown up’ stuff we end up treating them like kids! Trust me on this one – they get it – love, compassion and honesty will win the day and result in a lot of fun, laughter and love.
Well that concludes my chat and I wish you well in this part of your journey, whatever stage you are at. My next installment will cover the more complex subjects of gardening on a small balcony and de-cluttering from a lifetime of collecting ’stuff’.

the hidden messages in water

Sunday, March 21st, 2010

The Hidden Messages In Water

Let me ask you to think about why crystal formation would be affected by music, and why completely different results would be reached depending on the spoken and written words water was exposed to. The answer is found, again, in the fact that everything is vibration. Water – so sensitive to the unique frequencies being emitted by the world – essentially and efficiently mirrors the outside world.
Music and spoken words are vibration, they are easily understood and interpreted by just about anyone. Sounds like the chant created by a human voice at a Buddhist funeral create a healing frequency.
But how can we interpret the phenomena of crystal formation being affected by words written on paper and shown to water? The written words themselves actually emit a unique vibration that the water is capable of sensing. Water faithfully mirrors all the vibrations created in the world, and changes these vibrations into a form that can be seen with the human eye. When water is shown a written word, it receives it as vibration, and expresses the message in a specific form.
Water exposed to the words “Thank you” formed beautiful geometric crystals, no matter what the language. But water exposed to “You fool” and other degrading words resulted in obviously broken and deformed crystals…

love and gratitude

We can surmise that when a complete geometric crystal is formed, water is in alignment with nature and the phenomenon we call life. The crystals do not form in water that has been polluted by the results of our failure to remember the laws of nature…
The words gratitude and love form the fundamental principles of the laws of nature and the phenomenon of life. Therefore, water in its natural form is required to create the hexagonal form. By contrast, words such as “You fool” do not exist in nature and are instead unnatural elements created by people. Words that revile, harm, and ridicule are the result of the culture created by humans.
It’s likely that only vibrations of love and gratitude appear in nature, and observation of nature shows this to be true. The trees and plants show respect for each other by the way they live in harmony…
In an article in the March-April 1989 issue of American scientific journal 21st Century Science and Technology, Warren J. Hamerman wrote that the organic matter that forms human beings generates a frequency that can be represented by sound at approximately forty-two octaves above middle C… The modern standard for middle C is approximately 262 Hz, so this means that the sound reaches roughly 570 trillion Hz. Since Hz means vibrations per second, this indicates that human beings vibrate 570 trillion times a second, a number that exceeds the imagination and indicates incredible and wonderful hidden potential.
…The human being holds a universe within, filled with overlapping frequencies, and the result is a symphony of cosmic proportions.
…But what enlightenment can be obtained by seeing frequency as sound?
The most important revelation is that of resonance. Sounds of the same frequency resonate… When one side creates a frequency and the other responds with the same sound, they resonate. It’s said that likes attract, and so it would appear that vibrations attract and interact with each other.
…And we see this in human relationships: people who generate similar frequencies are attracted to each other, resulting in friendship. Certain people remain uninterested in each other, no matter how physically close they may be. However, if someone you don’t like approaches you and you react, this also means that you are resonating in some way with that person.
The greatest secret of Japanese martial arts is referred to as “winning without fighting.” This essentially means avoiding resonating with the enemy. To fight and win results in resonance with the enemy, and so the level of the relationship is very low.
When frequencies are fundamentally incompatible, they cannot resonate. We cannot accept what is fundamentally different from us.
…No matter how distant the frequencies, resonance will result if one of the two numbers is a multiple of the other…
When you think about it, people are attracted to Christ, Buddha, and others who emit a high level of vibration, but we also find ourselves attracted to the low-level outlaws of society (such as Bonnie and Clyde). This may seem like an inconsistency, but it can be explained by the fact that people resonate with others on various levels…
When people resonate and fall in love, they rise to their highest level of capability… you perform better at work, and the work that you do (and often your environment) may well change without you realizing it. People who continue to do superior work well into old age are almost inevitably in love. Of course, this love is not limited to romantic love… Love has the effect of raising our frequency level and making us shine. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could be in love for a lifetime?

intelligent design

Monday, December 28th, 2009

The new shift that is upon you is one of quantumness.

It is going to require the Human Being to understand more about what is around them, which is invisible to them, but which is very real. They must come to an understanding, and therefore a belief, that not all things are viewable and understandable within 3D thinking, and that there is so much more that is actually part of their world, but requires a logic beyond what they are used to in order to comprehend it.

From the smallest atomic structure to the largest, there is always polarity. You also see this in magnetics. It’s also hiding in gravity. It’s a staple of energy everywhere, everywhere. There are always two kinds of energy, and they work against and with each other to create dimensional reality. Matter itself is one polarity of reality, and anti-matter is the other. Always look for the push and pull, for it will show the way to the answers to the most perplexing issues of physics.

At the center of every galaxy there are “the twins.” The twins are in the middle of the Milky Way as well. You’ve got two energies: One pushes and one pulls. However, you see it in your perception as one giant Black Hole. You assume the gravity of the Black Hole is somehow gripping that spiral and making it spin together in an unusual fashion which violates all the laws of Newton. It’s not so. What’s happening in the center of your galaxy is beautiful. It is an elegant interdimensional force that is not gravity, which spreads through the entire region of your entire galaxy, a force that glues it together in a way that you do not have laws to explain… yet. In addition, there is something hiding that science is only now beginning to wrestle with.

All this explanation, to get to a place of logic for you that will broach a very big issue. Simply stated it is this: When you step into interdimensional physics, and this includes the energies of what you call spirituality, you will find something you didn’t expect: Consciousness… physics with an attitude. The interdimensionality of your galactic center has consciousness. It has to. Anything interdimensional is aligned with creation. When you break the linear logic wall down from what you expect in linear physics, you’re going to run up against things that don’t make sense to your bias. They won’t make sense… not just because they’re in a quantum state, but they contain something else that “consistent 3D science” does not wish to accept… intelligence in physics.

The center of your galaxy spit out the matter that is you. Science has it backwards. The twins in the center of your galaxy lead to the twins in the center of all the other galaxies. Millions of them, billions of them. They’re all connected in a way you cannot fathom outside of space, outside of time, like strings between friends who have consciousness. Not the kind of intelligence and consciousness that you see in your brain, no. Instead it’s a benevolence, an intelligent glue that postures the universe in love.

Astronomers are starting to talk about Intelligent Design. Now we’re getting somewhere, since they’re starting to understand that the quantumness of the universe might indeed have consciousness. Against all odds, you live in a parameter, an attribute in space that statistically continues to be “against all odds.” You are in a universe created for life! If you could throw the dice of physics and create a universe, it would never come up this way. Never. Statisticians have said that it’s out of the possibility of chance… yet you sit in an earth teeming with life. You sit in a universe teeming with life. There is life on the planets around you, but you just haven’t found it yet. Microbial it is, and it represents the beginning attributes of single-celled life… Take a trip to Europa (moon of Jupiter), and look around a little in the ocean. You’ll see. Life is absolutely the way of the universe… everywhere. And it’s against all odds that it happened, and science is now seeing that. It is so out of the statistical model of the creation of any universe, that they have labeled it Intelligent Design. There has to have been a plan.

In the middle of your galaxy, the twins exist, pushing and pulling interdimensional energies that literally have an intelligent complement to them. All of the stars move together in unison with it. Forces that are way beyond gravity are involved. It’s an interdimensionality that glues the galaxy together…

The futurists of your society have a tendency to look at what was, and then project what will be. Do you see the straight line thinking? In a bias of consistency, they say, “Because of this, therefore, there will be this.” They’re looking at a consistent model of old energy, and in their projections, never giving it a chance to change. They are denying the very ability of Humanity to move past what was.

What is it that has been consistent on the planet regarding consciousness? Let’s name the attributes: War, poverty, suffering, drama, a repeat of the same, a repeat of the same, a repeat of the same. Fractals of time that come and go and come and go, which create a consciousness that repeats and repeats and repeats.

Now you can see the bias, and why it’s there. For anything that stays in the same cycle is expected to stay in it forever. This is also echoed in your physics. The more quantum you become, the less consistent you will be in thinking this way. That is to say, eventually you will expect things to happen that have never happened before. You are in a shift that is allowing for it, and all around you, things are changing. Listen: You cannot apply last year’s rules to peace on earth. Is it possible? Yes… more than possible, it’s the most probable outcome that we can give you.

What do last year’s rules tell you about the fear that is being generated over the shift you are in? Does it tell you that you’re going to be covered by water. Well, if you apply the rate at which things are melting and then you project all this into the future, you apply the discourse of poor science… then of course you will be! But that’s awfully consistent of you, isn’t it? You see what I’m saying? You’re not giving any allowance for the wild card. You’re not giving an allowance for the fact that this planet is moving into an entirely different magnetic attribute. The sun is cooperating; the universe is cooperating; it’s almost like the twins can see who you are!

The twins are physics, a magnificent pushing and pulling of an interdimensional attribute… The twins are not God. The twins are a result of a God-biased universe, and an interdimensional physics that you are only just beginning to discover and question. Your science is only beginning to see it. The Gaia effect, Intelligent Design, the way the earth was put together, the way there were no accidents that you’re here, against all odds… that ought to add up to something in your logic.

You are in the middle of a tremendous shift that you’ve asked for, that it’s time for, that I came for! It’s not one that’s going to destroy you! You don’t have to fear it. It’s one you’re in control of as you’re becoming more quantum. You’re starting to understand that the consistency of life as you have seen it is truly an old paradigm. The consistency of fear, of hate, of disappointment… is beginning to change.

We told you to expect the wild card. Expect things that have not happened before. Change history by thinking about future things which may be evolutionary and represent wild cards themselves. Can you recognize some of those wild cards in your very immediate past? None of the quatrains of Nostradamus are accurate today. Books have been written about the tremendous upcoming war with Islam. Well, someday you can read them and laugh, because it’s not happening that way. That entire scenario is based upon a consistent, unchanging consciousness on earth, where everything repeats in an expected old pattern, and it isn’t!

Are you the expected pattern on earth, or are you the wild card?

You see, there are things coming that you didn’t expect. I know these things for I see the potentials that are not openly available to you. It’s the consciousness which is “baking in the oven” that is working right now in ways that you do not expect.

You cannot apply last year’s rules to peace on earth.

"Anyone feel that power surge?"

"Anyone feel that power surge?"

Like many of us around the UK this morning, I woke up to snow flakes fluttering past my window and a view that’s whiter than usual. There’s an air of optimism that arrives with snow which prompts reflection, and we are in that time of year already with only two weeks left of 2009.
This has been a tough year. Now there’s an understatement. It’s been a tough year for everyone I know, in every conceivable way. 2009 carries 11 energy, the energy of illumination, of dismantling. This is the year that shook our foundations with might, and we now look about us to survey the rubble. Some things were so out of kilter they were begging to be pulled down, just breath gently and it collapses before our very eyes. Other things have taken something a little stronger on the Richter scale, and we’ve all felt it’s vibrations. Organizations, jobs and relationships are the three big ones that have taken a hammering this year.
If you’ve surfed through it all, wondering what all the fuss is about, it’s probably because you’re one of those rare individuals that follows your heart; you were already in the right place, at the right time. The rest of us? Well, there’s a sliding scale of carnage, from a mere graze to outright destruction. The pain we experience is conversely proportional to how much of our truth we have been living over the past few months and years. If you’re in victim mode, know one thing, it ain’t over. However, if you’re asking the right questions of yourself, and taking responsibility for what you have created in your life, rest assured that help is on it’s way, and the cavalry will appear from the most unexpected places, and in the most magical of ways. The more in harmony we are with our own personal truth, the easier the ride.
In the meantime, let your hair down, relax, we’ve made it through another year in one piece… kinda. Know that 2010, energetically speaking, is one of divine organization; in layman’s terms we are receiving a divine helping hand to re-organize our lives in such a way that will bring us a greater feeling of joy and fulfillment. Do yourself a favour if you haven’t done so already, get consciously co-creating. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, google it, read about it, put it into practice; conscious co-creation… it’s time to take responsibility for our own happiness.

the morning post no.5

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Ghandi, because he had renounced the outer trappings, couldn’t be grabbed anywhere in the usual places. Those in power couldn’t threaten him with losing his job, house, family, or even with imprisonment and death… detachment renders the use of power impotent… At this stage of inner growth, the power of going inward is veiled; there is darkness and a cloud of unknowing. Yet somehow the pull toward spirit is real. For all the outer sacrifices, something seems to have been gained. What that something is becomes clear later; at this moment there is a period of adjustment as the person accommodates to a new world so different from that of every day.

Deepak Chopra, How To Know God

second attention

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

…we all inhabit more than one level of reality at the same time.

First attention organizes the surface of life; second attention organizes the deeper levels. Intuition and wisdom both grow out of second attention and therefore cannot be compared to ordinary thinking… A gut feeling is as close to the oracle of Delphi as many people are going to get. That we can bypass reason to gain insight is certainly true. Intuition involves no cogitation or working through. Like lightening, it flashes across the mind, carrying with it a sense of rightness that defies explanation.

The big question is how we can learn to trust second attention… Once you start identifying with the knower – that part of yourself that is intuitive, wise, and perfectly at home in the quantum world – then God assumes a new shape. He turns from all-powerful to all-knowing… You will never trust your intuition until you identify with it. Self-esteem enters here. At the earlier stages of inner growth, a person is esteemed who belongs to the group and upholds its values. If the knower within tries to object, he is stifled. Intuition actually becomes an enemy, because it has a nasty habit of saying things you aren’t supposed to hear.

“You will know a lot about human motivation once you realize one thing: ninety-nine percent of humanity spends ninety-nine percent of their time trying to avoid painful truths.”

A person who has arrived at stage four long ago gave up group values. The enticements of war, competition, the stock market, fame, and wealth have faded. Being stranded in isolation is not a good fate, however, and so the knower within comes to the rescue. He provides a new source of self-esteem based upon things that cannot be known any other way… the emptiness of outward life is rendered irrelevant because a new voyage has commenced. The wise are not sitting around contemplating how wise they are; they are flying through space and time, guided on a soul journey that nothing can impede. The hunger to be alone… comes from sheer suspense. The person cannot wait to find out what comes next in the unfolding of the soul’s drama… Someone who still felt burdened with guilt and shame, however, would never embark on the voyage. You don’t have to be perfect to try to reach the angels, but you do have to be able to live with yourself and keep your own company for long stretches of time…

The disciple could also have no idea of the excitement felt by the master, because from the outside there is no sign… God leaves no traces in the material world… you find yourself fascinated with God, not because you need protection or comfort, but because you are a hunter after his quarry. The chase is all the more challenging when the prey leaves no tracks in the snow.
…fate becomes a pressing. The person has experienced enough instances when “an invisible hand” must be at work. The instances may be small, but there is no turning away from them.
After paying enough attention (always the key word) you begin to see that events form patterns; you see that they also hold lessons or messages or signs – the outer world somehow is trying to communicate – and then you see that these outer events are actually symbols for inner events… Wisdom consists of being comfortable with certainty and uncertainty… life is spontaneous, yet it has a plan; events come as a surprise, yet they have inexorable logic. Strangely, wisdom often arrives only after thinking is over. Instead of turning a situation over from every angle, one arrives at a point where simplicity dawns. In the presence of a wise person one can feel an interior calm, alive and breathing its own atmosphere, that needs no outside validation. The ups and downs of existence are all one. The New Testament calls this “the peace that passes understanding,” because it goes beyond thinking – no amount of mental churning will get you there.
…a state where all love is included in one love. Such an aim is hard to achieve, and most people don’t even see it’s value… Since infancy we have all gained security from having one mother, one father, our own friends, one spouse, a family of our own; this sense of attachment reflects a lifelong need for support… the whole support structure melts away – the person is left to get support internally, from the self. Self-acceptance becomes the way to God… It isn’t a cold, heartless detachment but a kind of expansion that no longer needs to distinguish between me and you, yours and mine, what I want and what you want. Such dualities make perfect sense to the ego, yet… the goal is to get beyond boundaries. If that involves giving up the old support systems, the person willingly pays the price. The soul journey is guided by an inner passion that demands its own fulfillment.

There are no victims.
Everything is well ordered; things happen as they should.
Random events are guided by a higher wisdom.
Chaos is an illusion; there is total order to all events.
Nothing happens without a reason.

Deepak Chopra, an exert from Stage Four, How To Know God

To quote The Pretenders classic, Spiritual High, ‘a state of independence shall be…’. This exert from Deepak Chopra’s How To Know God illustrates humanity’s greatest challenge, if we are to evolve to the next ordained state of being. We stand poised at the edge of this particular cliff, in a time of profound change, we are in fear of letting go of all that we have known. Apollinaire’s words seem especially poignant;

Come to the edge
We can’t. We are afraid.
Come to the edge.
We can’t. We will fall!

Come to the edge.

And they came.
And he pushed them.

And they flew.

Guillaume Apollinaire


At the entrance to the oracle chamber at Delphi is an inscription:

Know Thyself

We all have the ability to fly, and I don’t just mean you, or me, I mean all of us. The only requirement is that we simply choose to do so.

Light of the Shekhinah

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Of all the clues God left for us to find, the greatest is the light, the Shekhinah. From that clue we can unfold a true picture of the deity. This is a bold claim, but it is corroborated by the fact that science – our most credible modern religion – also traces creation back to light.

Deepak Chopra, How To Know God

a new stage

Monday, November 30th, 2009

The important issue is psychological. How much fear are you willing to live with? When this hurdle is cleared, when personal integrity is more important than being accepted within the system, a new stage begins.

The next step in human evolution is not inevitable, but for the first time in the history of our planet, it can be a conscious choice.

Who is making that choice?

You are.

And who are you?

Consciousness that has become conscious of itself.

Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that.

You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Jonathan Livingston SeagullThe saying goes that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. My latest teacher is a bird that goes by the name of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

‘…it is right for a gull to fly, that freedom is the very nature of his being, that whatever stands against that freedom must be set aside, be it ritual or superstition or limitation in any form.
“Set aside,” came a voice from the multitude, “even if it be the Law of the Flock?”
“The only true law is that which leads to freedom,” Jonathan said. “There is no other.”

…the most important thing in living was to reach out and touch perfection in that which they most loved to do, and that was to fly.’ Jonathan Livingston Seagull cover

Someone very clever said to me recently, we have to fly, don’t we?

Yes, I believe we do.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a book by Richard Bach. First published in 1970, the cover illustration has really stood the test of time, as have the interior images, photographed by Russell Munson… deceivingly simple in their beauty. This little book is a treasure.

In Formation, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Behold! human beings living in a underground den… like ourselves… they see only their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave.

A Walk In The Dark

Last night, in the spirit of Halloween, I walked into the darkness of How It Is, the Miroslaw Balka installation at Tate Modern. Moving up the ramp and into the blackness, slowly placing one foot in front of the other, I was hyper-aware of the symbolic significance of this experience. Balka writes;

How shall I move forward? you might ask yourself, as you stand at the threshold, confronted by the darkness ahead. The unknown can be terrifying, especially if it is also without light. How you approach it is unique, as your first encounter with anything can only ever be as an individual. Staring ahead into the black void may make you wonder whether to move ahead at all.

entrance to the void

How It Is was inspired by the Samuel Beckett novel by the same name, published in 1964. Beckett conjures the image of a ‘man lying panting in the mud and dark murmuring his ‘life’ as he hears it obscurely uttered by a voice inside him… The noise of his panting fills his ears and it is only when this abates that he can catch and murmur forth a fragment of what is being stated within… It is in the third part that occurs the so-called voice ‘quaqua’, its interiorisation and murmuring forth when the panting stops. That is to say the ‘I’ is from the outset in the third part and the first and second, though stated as heard in the present, already over.’

The title How It Is, is a translation of the original French, Comment C’est, a play on words meaning to begin. So what is the character actually beginning? Could it be a new way of being?

HOW IT ISA contemporary version of the man crawling through self-imposed mud to finally emerge liberated, is the Guy Ritchie movie Revolver. The main character, Jason Green, finds himself committing to a journey that requires a heavy dose of faith only to be faced with the ultimate challenge of confronting his worst enemy in his most feared environment (a lift), his worst enemy being his very own ego. The lift, a perfect metaphor for spiritual elevation, cuts out in between floors, and Green is forced to face himself in total darkness. This is his purgatory, in which Green battles with personal demons, to emerge without fear, purified, with inner-strength to sink battle-ships.

Beckett’s I that is already over would appear to be the process of dismantling the ego in order to begin again in a new way, free from the mind-induced sufferings that plague us, most commonly rooted in fear. The problem is that not many of us are prepared to consciously confront our fears, and so life has a way of organising itself to make sure that we do. If it were without purpose, then we may be justified in our sense of victimhood, however, that would be to miss the entire point of life, the great transformer.HOW IT IS Balka How else does one expand emotionally and spiritually, other than to live out our experiences?
The most crippling of all is the fear of fear itself, the fear of living.
How many of us have lived in dread of a certain something, only to discover peace on the other side? How much time and energy do we waste worrying ourselves into an early grave? And can you imagine the possibilities if we were to drop our fears, by facing them head on, until they fall away like ash? Who could we be then?
Ceremonial darkness is an ancient shamanic tool for stalking the self, still being practised all over the world today, as a way of learning to see in the dark with our spirit self, rather than our often misguided senses, so that we may navigate through life from a position of self-knowing, and therefore truth. Darkness, for the Ancient Egyptians, was the The Hidden Place known as Amenta, a land between the earth and the heavens, whereby purification of the Self would be thorough and ruthless. This is a symbolic journey of transformation where the Self dies to the earthly world and is reborn conscious of its spiritual reality, ascending from the darkness, a creative spirit freed from the bondage of illusion.
Be Your Own Light In The Dark

The darkness, or void conjures in us the fear of the unknown, and as Balka states, it makes us wonder whether to move ahead at all. Why bother moving forward, I’m absolutely dandy where I am, right?
We can choose to stand still, but for how long? Over how many lifetimes? And at what cost too ourselves? Consider the effect of a dam on the river’s flow, where’s the freedom in that?

So here we stand, at the mouth of the void, in a year where dismantling the status quo seems to be the order of the day, how shall we move forward?

Be your own light in the darkness. Know that life springs eternal from the great void, there are new opportunities for us that we can’t quite make out from our current vantage point. Our approach is all important, we can either stand rooted to the spot in abject fear of the unknown, or we can choose to put our best foot forward with courage, in the knowledge that whatever we encounter, we will emerge a stronger, wiser, more spiritually-adjusted individual that knows no fear. Now that’s liberation.
