Browbeaten! /February 11, 2014
EXHAUSTED?
So many of you have been reporting extreme tiredness at strange times of day that I thought I would share my thoughts on this.
We are used to reports of disturbed sleep around the powerful moons and disrupted energy patterns at times of heightened solar activity, but this feels different. This is a really profound fatigue for no apparent reason at strange times, a bit like that deep tiredness which threatens to make you fall asleep at the wheel on a long drive.
This has proved particularly challenging for those who usually thrive on busy-ness and usually have loads of energy. Often the tiredness lasts a short time and leaves as suddenly as it arrived, with the periods between these episodes quite productive and a bringing a strange clarity.
It would be easy to ascribe this to the increased solar activity (which has been quite marked) yet this somehow feels different to me. To rationalise what is happening at the moment in terms of cause and effect is kind of missing the point.
In Lauren Gorgo's latest blog she states "This radiation of new light that we are absorbing is literally unlike any encodement that has preceded it."
This time around we have to be satisfied with "we really don't know", and all I can recommend is to lose resistance and trust the process. If we were able to explain what is happening with our existing information set it would not be new and I believe we are coming face to face with the new!
WAKEY WAKEY
Like it or not, acknowledge it or not, welcome it or not, the universe is sending a message which is becoming impossible to ignore. The information within this message was once the domain of those mystics, light workers and channellers who were revered and differentiated by virtue of their heightened awareness, but these guys had better find new jobs because the message is now available to everyone. In fact it is being drummed into everyone!
What is that message?
Simply put: IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP and the universe will force the point until we do.
This is why I used the title Browbeaten. This information is going to keep whacking us over the head until we take notice. It is no longer an option. Denial, though popular, will prove ineffective. And the universe will beat your brow until you accept the responsibility and the gift which it is PRESENTing.
BROWBEATEN - to try to force someone to do something by threatening them orpersuading them forcefully and unfairly - Cambridge Dictionary.
The Brow chakra is all about seeing and pattern recognition. The third eye opens to allow us to see the big picture and allows us to develop insight and see through illusion.
We are individually and collectively shedding the demon of the Brow chakra, which isILLUSION. An illusion is a static image, an anomoly in the flow of life, ordinarily an idea of how things should be as opposed to how they are. So convincing are these illusions and so deep the conditioning that most rarely see beyond them.
Moving beyond illusion can be challenging, disorienting, and, you guessed it, exhausting. New realities demand new neural pathways, they demand awareness and conscious attention. They invite cognitive dissonance and dislocation which is why the majority will simply attempt to turn back to the comfort and security of the illusion. Once again, no longer an oprion!
THE TERRIBLE TWOS AND TEENAGERS
The first stage of the awakening process is to see through the illusion to which we have clung so tightly. There has been so much written and spoken of the illusory nature of our chosen reality, but most has been generated by and within that illusion. This is why it feels different at the moment, as seeing through the illusion is becoming experiential as opposed to conceptual. And, like realising there is no Santa Claus, this is not an easy information to process!
Whilst most of you reading this will have navigated the territory which moves beyond the child-like egoic state which is predominant in society, there will be a lot of noise and discordant energy from those who have enjoyed the illusion of victimhood and abdicated personal responsibility.
Do not be surprised to see those people lieing on the supermarket floor having a tantrum, or quite literally throwing their toys out of the pram. This is the awakening equivalent of the terrible twos and it can be observed whenever you see a politician on the news.
Before feeling too smug about my own development, I should recognise the exhaustion is similar to that demonstrated by teenagers in the morning. Perhaps I am moving into a spiritual teenagehood! (I can cope with being a spiritual teenager as long as the spots and hormones remain under control!)
My point is that however gracefully we are bearing the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (thanks for that one Adyashanti) we are being enticed, encouraged, dragged, beaten...into a new level of surrender, within which lies our true power. Our consciousness is changing and we cannot co-exist in the old consciousness to embrace that. Just as a teenager sleeps to give their body the space to change, so must we as we evolve. The sleep space can be thought of as a different state of consciousness and perhaps that is the best state in which to process the change we are all expereincing.
YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS
Conmensurate with the emerging awareness do not expect others to provide the answers.
You know the answer to your questions (Do not stop asking the questions just dont expect anyone else to answer them!).
Seek space not teachers and try not to rush to fill that space with the familiar.
If you need to rest, rest where possible.
Your mind and ego will protest and insist that you fill your space and time to perpetuate its sense of identity. It will attempt to convince you that your survival depends upon it (or even the planets survival), but this is just the illusion crying for attention.
As ever be easy on yourself,
with love
