Meditation Let us, again, close the eyes... and let us extend, in a brief meditation once again, for the purpose, again, of strengthening this connection and alignment, of grounding a connection to the Infinite Source. Take a deep breath in, remember the heartbeat, remember the alignment, remember the flow... and out; and, once again, in... and out; and, once again, in... and out. Three times one for each aspect of the personality: belief, emotion, and thought pattern action and to align the prism of your personality construct. Continue to breath in a regular manner, and imagine that you are standing in a beautiful place: either a grassy park or a beach or some form of nature, anything in nature, anyplace of natural views, anytime either day or night, imagine standing straight and tall and true in this place of peace and tranquility and expansiveness. As you see that you are standing in such a place and with your inner sight you look around at the expanded arisen and vistas before you, the sky, the ground, the trees, the rocks, the water, whatever there may be... allow yourself now to become more aware of the different chakra points within you, as if they are beads on a string, beautiful glowing beads. Each of a different color: in the root chakra a glowing ruby red, a beautiful glowing red. Moving on up the string, a glowing orange, topaz like stone. Moving on up into the Solar Plexus a beautiful yellow citrine crystalline stone. Moving on up into the heart chakra a gorgeous flawless green emerald, like the verdant grass that surrounds you. Moving on up a state of beautiful sapphire light like stone, a beautiful light sky blue in the throat. Moving on up into the third eye a deep, deep purple amethyst stone. Moving on up to the crown charka, the beautiful amethyst spiral, the spender and radiance of its blooms and gleans. Now the crown charka is actually shaped like a ring, a circle, a crown, literally, and in this sense, again, as been depicted in many of your religious paintings, as what you call the halo, the crown chakra. Allow yourselves to look up the string and see that there is a cone, point downward, spiraling up and expanding outward, a beautiful white light up and up, and up and up, becoming more and more and more crystalline and transparent until it aligns to the top into a beautiful transparent flawless crystalline clear sphere of energy, way at the top of the line of light that runs through. And then from there look down, /all/ /the way down/ the string back through every little chakra point, let it tickle as you go down, and feel it go down through the root, down into the knees, where forms a base, a structure, a support system of flexibility, and motion, and /through/ you into the deeper colors of reds and browns and earth tones, below the feet, deep, deep, deep into the earth, to the core of the planet itself. Feel the string go all the way down, anchoring, so that you feel you are like a giant being suspended on a string, suspended on a beautiful string of light, from the center of the earth, up to the top, up through the crown, back up to the crystalline source. Now pluck the string on top and hear and feel the resonant vibrations, the harmonics above you singing like a chorus of angels as the music of the spheres. Pluck the string below your feet and hear the deep resonant tones of the foundations of the rumblings of the earth and the solidity of the knowledge, of ancient knowledge and wisdom. And feel the string within you, pluck it, and the beautiful harmonies of all the different sounds and voices, of each of the beautiful colors and of the strings that provide the spectrum of light that make up your physiological selves. And as you feel this string, this light, then come down, allow the now to expand further up, further down, allow the crystal to be on top /sore away/ from you - higher, higher getting away from you, as far as it is possible to go and time and space beyond those barriers is finished forever and ever. And the string below you to expand to infinity, down, down, down, down until it becomes deep pulsing black, the blackness of night. Unbroken by the stars and beyond all thoughts of sound, go down, deep forever, forever. Up and down, then bring the crystal leaf back down, bring the foundation string back up, and bring them closer and closer, closer to your body, closer and closer...not quite there, just feel them resonate above and below. The likeness, the purity, the ringing of the crystalline bead on top. It is the deep foundational vibration below your feet, the subterranean bellows, then stretch them back out to their normal place, just so far away on top, just so away on bottom, to the center of your earth, and up into the stars and again see that you are in this place of perfect peace, perfect balance of the center, surrounded by the beauty of nature, and see the you stretch out your hand to the right and the left and allow, allow, allow your left palm to face up, your right palm to face down and feel the energy of perception, of allowance in your left hand, all the energies flowing down from the heavens, pouring onto the palm of your left hand, flowing up your arm, around your elbow, in your shoulder, down pouring through you, filling up your body with this beautiful liquid light. All the way to the top of your head as if you were a hollow crystal shell, and feel it flow out your right arm, down, down to your wrist and out the palm flowing downwards into the earth, downward into the earth. And feel energy rising from the earth, going in the opposite direction of that flow and at the same time coming up into your right palm a deep, a deeper orange. Flowing, again, in your right hand, into your right arm, filling you up blending and mixing with the other fluids, flowing. The beautiful white, golden light from above, mixing with the beautiful deep, deep, deep colors of the earth. And flowing out your left your left arm, and flowing back up to the heavens out of your left hand, so that there is this flow in both directions. See yourself doing this, feel the vibration, then, then, when you are full bring your hands together and complete the circuit so that these two substances of liquid light, these two flows, now flowing in both directions, bring your hands together in the prayer mode, flowing in both directions from palm to palm, around and around in your body, up and down, through and through in both directions. Then open your fingers, touching only fingertips, and bring your hand down and down to the solar plexus, and feel there a beam of light, forward and backward, future and past, suspending you in the present, balancing in the now, then raise your hands apart and flow energy out, and take energy into this beautiful place you have created yourself to be in. Feel yourself connecting to all the elements of nature, the ground, the soil, the rocks, the trees, grass, animals, earth moving, clouds and sky... everything. The sounds the sights, the smells, feel align and vibrate, new, first-born, yet ancient, ancient and old and wise. All the same time the blending of all polarities, male and female, light and dark, past and future, all ideas blend from the center. All ideas come from the center. You, again, are the glowing crucible in which all the realities melt and are reformed, according to your intention, which is illuminated by your excitement, your joy. The vibration of your destiny your chosen past, self created karma in this life to be uniquely you, the you you are. To cherish, to love the unique you that you are, to relax into the unique you that you are, so that you do not to fret, so that you do not need to worry -- so that you do not need to create stress. You can know what you need to know when you need to know, if you will but be who you know yourself to be. Take a deep breath in while standing in this beautiful place of perfect peace, smelling the rich smells - let it out. Take another deep breath in, feeling your alignments, your belief patterns, and your emotions, your thoughts, your bodies, your minds, your spirits, knowingness, your consciousness, your awareness, everything tingling, vibrating. Take another deep breath in, and out. It is beautiful just to be, it is beautiful and powerful to simple choose to be what you wish to be. It is beautiful and powerful to recognize that you can align and be aligned with all the ideas and can still express a unique diverse richness of self. GO back into that blend, because that's where all realities are, that's where information is, that's where all answers lie. Remember: it is natural, natural, NATURAL when you know you cannot find what you need in the reflection of the external outside world, it is natural for you to draw within. This is not negative depression, as you have defined it, it is only negative and becomes lonely and isolating when you define it as a negative, as an unnatural thing, as something being wrong. It is compression; it is going to where you know the information is, in the center of yourself. It is GOING within the crucible to restructure, re- identify, redefine what you are. And to thus thereafter e/merged/ as a new being, like a butterfly from the chrysalis. Spread new wings of beautiful vibrant color, flap them and fly. This is what going within is all about. It is natural without judgments... allowance. It is a creative act of rebirth, giving birth to yourselves, over and over and over again -- infinitely, for change is the only constant that really exists within the manifested reality of your world. Now open your eyes. And, again, understand: you are, at every moment, you. You are not those people who existed, really, at the beginning of this workshop, you are new. You are a new ideas and the changes you have made have changed everything in Creation, everything, everything. Go forth and act in the manner that shows you know this to be so. Do not put heaviness and hesitations upon yourselves, if you allow yourselves to lighten up, you will find that you are capable of anything and everything when you remove expectations that you must do everything perfect. This, again, is the paradox, not to really use paradox to your advantage, not to see it as a trap, not to see it as an obstacle, but to feel the vibration, to go within, to know that in that space, in that time, in that spacelessness, in that timelessness is all probable realties, is all possible experience. You recognize in that space who you are, to choose to be through your imagination who you wish to be and you emerge through your actions to express that idea in whatever way shape of form is reflective of the excitement of the joy and the unconditional love of THIS NOW moment as you have deemed it is to be so. You have free will, use it. Now then, how are you all? AUD: Excellent. Great. Fantastic. Et cetera... There will be time now for some interactions, that which is to you called questions. Sharing! Q: I would like to ask you about a dream...
