I wanted to chip in with my insights, which have been less noticeable than in the past - I seem to have lost the art, or rather the illusion, of analysis.
A few things have stayed in memory, however, and have proven to be a point of 'irritation', showing me there is something I am not getting.
I live in Australia, so as you may be aware, there has been and continues to be massive flooding in the Eastern part of Australia, where it has been labeled the worst disaster in our history. I used to live in Queensland which has been badly affected, and have many friends and business associates there. Everyone I know has come through unscathed and their property undamaged, including those who lived right on the Brisbane River, and which overflowed its banks with a peak tide height in excess of 4 m. One lady was posting a package to me in Toowoomba where the entire main street was swamped by an 'inland tsunami' - she and her family unlike many others emerged completely unscathed. The entire area around her house has been obliterated. And I keep hearing the phrase 'birds of a feather' so I can only presume that those able to fluidly change with the Infinite's design will not be sucked into these scenarios of massive destructuring. I also remember feeling very detached as others were spreading the usual fear and panic, just as Almine described in her audio when we were in the transfiguration apex of the triangle. I could not feel anything when it seemed appropriate that I should. Now the flood waters are receding and today I find myself weeping for no obvious reason at all. A feminine perspective!
To juxtapose this, I live in Western Australia. Currently we are experiencing a huge water shortage and we have been told to conserve 60 litres of water per person per day if we are to make it through the summer, despite having a desalination plant here. It is very hot, and arsonists have lit fires that seen entire suburbs go up in flames. Again, those I know who live there were among the lucky few to emerge with both their homes and their lives intact. Hmm. 2 extremes (poles) on the one continent. And two times in the last week the topic of bi-polar disorder has come into my awareness. Which parallels what Almine has been saying about the signs in our environment pointing to the epic closure of polarity and duality.
All of the recent devastating natural events have been blamed on La Niņa. And it took me until moments ago to realise the significance of that: La Niņa translates as the female child!!! It was right there in front of me and I didn't notice. The child is speaking to us, showing its wounds, crying to release aeons of suffering. And the child holds the key. I feel the answer is in plain sight, contained in the question, and we are this close to collapsing the directions and entering spaceless space.
Words are getting more difficult now so I will close.
Thanks for your insights... so much is going on! feels like one big grand finale we are playing.
I also experienced insights of the inner child that cries out for healing, and magical things are happening in my life. And again I am so amazed how crystal clear the signs in my life are. Last week I went to go to a toystore, to buy two little presents for children. The shop lies at a small square, and when I came there it was litterally an outside labatory at the square, with all tubes, strange sounds and chemical smells, and a man walking around with a suit and helmet on to protect himself. It all was surrounded by fences and I saw he was doing strange tests with the drinking water, and this did not feel right at all. Then I went into the childrens store, which is called 'matrushka', and for me this now symbolizes the labyrinth. Intuitively I bought for a four year old african adopted child (so she was abandonned) a little magical wand, and for a newly born baby boy something with a lady bird (transformation). That evening I heard the audioclip about the laboratory with nanotechnology, going back into the labyrinth to heal the inner child and to restore her magic, and the third clip was about transformation.
Sathurday I gave the little girl her magical wand, and it felt something great has shifted in me now...
I study now for one year with Almine and all of you, and it was the Art of dreaming course that I have skipped because of attending a pod... also not a coincedence I can see now. Much healing still needs to be done here.
I have a question, maybe someone of you knows: the dreaming cycles 19-24 represent those of the inner child. Is it alright to do the Shrihat Satva yoga only from posture 19 till 24? Or should we do all the postures together? This also seems plausible, for balancing out all the cycles together with the one of the inner child. I feel, that I am trying to avoid something ;-)
Wow ! So much depth in these two posts ! Well done, girls !
Sharon, it feels so good to hear from you again.
Else, my dear one, practicing only a bit of Shrihat Satva Yoga is definitely NOT something to be recommended. Especially picking just postures 19-24, which are feminine postures, would create imbalance. The only reason why one would practice only a part of Shrihat Satva Yoga is lack of time. Even though this is not ideal, one could divide the practice in several parts, if that is the only way you can manage to do it, and you feel you really have to practice Shrihat. But in that case, if you do, say postures 1-3, you must follow with their feminine counterpart, which is postures 12-14 in the same session. It is most important to keep that balance.
Thank you Marc. It feels good to be able to communicate again. I have definitely been the note that has not been playing for a while. And it is as Almine has said, if you are not meant to do something, you won't do it. I have been reading and following along with everything in the background. So many times I wanted to post but something stopped me. And it has been wonderful to see/hear new voices emerge on the radio - up to and including Onkenbaar!
Else, a year ago, do you remember the conversation we had about black swans? How they are originally from Western Australia and how early explorers took them back to Europe? And now the Black Swan returns again - in this course and in larger life with Natalie Portman winning a Golden Globe for her performance in the movie with the same name.
And today as I was reading your replies I was struck afresh by new parts of the post - so the thread into the labyrinth continues...
I live in the West. Can't get more west than here. Perth is the most isolated capital city in the world. We have just received a damning report of how our lifestyle is the least ecologically sustainable on the planet. So decoding metaphysically. What is in the direction West that contains within it the insights to do with Fire as well as civilisation versus this element. Conversely what is in the direction East where civilisation clashes with water? Brazil is direction ? and civilisation clashes with Earth. And so on. I suspect the nanotechnology represents metal and direction is ? Hope someone can take the thread further!
Also the name of your shop Else, matrushka - I believe that is Dutch for Russian doll but even if it isn't that is what came into my mind...I saw a movie yesterday with my kids - the Sorcerers Apprentice with Nicholas Cage. In the movie, wizards fight to possess what is essentially a Russian Doll with each shell containing a powerful (and evil) wizard bent on releasing the last sorcerer in the doll - the infamous Morgana Le Fey. Morgana is trapped with her opposite, a good sorceress in this last layer. The good sorceress has a male counterpart played by Nicholas Cage who is outside of this hard shelled doll and trying to protect her. The nemesis is a third sorcerer, male, who sides with Morgana, but we learn he was initially part of a triad of Merlin's original apprentices (Nicholas Cage and his love interest being the other two). So the four main characters give us 4 directions. The Russian doll has so many meanings it isn't funny - the layers of matrix, the inner and the outer, the true masculine cut off from its true feminine and so on.
From memory (!) the layers of the doll contained 2 other layers - a Chinese sorcerer and a Salem witch. So that adds up to 6. Which is the number Almine arrived at when we looked at the 144 illusions and the 24 layers of each sub personality... andnow I am losing this thread so I leave it for others to follow if they happen to dance in this direction!
Thanks Marc! for your reply on the Shrihat Satva yoga, I will definately take your advice.
My goodness Sharon, all these signs and insights you get are so amazing... There is a lot information comming to us, also non-conigtively, and that I find sometimes difficult to convey into understanding, because I feel its course but cannot ‘grasp’ it.. But then, I just feel and know that the goddess being in me knows what my next step will be... But all these insights you have are really fascinating, and I love to hear them!
I was also thinking of the black swan yesterday, and how we discussed it last year, and how it all fits in at this time and with Australia. Remember Alicia’s poem as well, at the beginning of this course, and so beautiful:
The Soundless Song
There lived a magic man
Disguised as a black swan
Divine was his song
So be careful children, and listen...
For when the black swan wakes
Its song will change
Your life’s course in its wake
One things that your story is telling me is about the healing of the subpersonalities versus shadowbeings. And then especially the ones we thought as being truthful.
The last few months the big theme in my life has been about the uncovering of untruths; things that I always had assumed as save and healthy (foodsupplements, biological day-creme’s, etc) and also people, where revealing their true colours. This has been also a hard time for me, for there was so much dissillusionment in my life. The biggest confrontation in this I had actually last summer, when I felt I wanted to go totally into a feeling of no relationship, and even not with the goddess in me with whom I identified with. After a few days, I felt that I did not recognize the goddess in me anymore, and I thought that this had to do with feeling more and more that there is only One Being in existence. It was one week later that Almine then told on a course that the goddess Isis she had identified with, appeared to be a shadow goddess. Then I understood my own experience as well, for I had identified with a famous celtic goddess as well. She is my shadow goddess. And all the famous goddesses and gods as we know them on earth appear to be shadow beings, how good their intent even seems... in this I feel so much illussion lies, for we have given them so much power by thinking them to be good. For a while now I feel we have not understood this to its full extent yet, for I can see so much manipulation is comming from these beings. But then I can also see that all is in perfection, and that I sometimes want to got faster...! But this is actually my pitfall, for thereby I am always overlooking something and then I have to go back. Like going back into the labyrith to bring healing to the inner child.. I can also see that all is perfectly balanced out, like the core illusions we keep in place, keep in place the shadow beings.
As Almine has told that this month we can bring the cycles of existence to a closure and heal the great core illusions that have caused the subperonalities to excist, it goes together with the healing of these big shadows that we cast. I feel very excited, and thanks for sharing your story Sharon! (the matushka indeed is the russian doll)
Beautiful notes playing here. With the floods, I have been through two. And with each I noticed that the river substantially changed its course, its path. Like the river, I find I'm often redirected too. When I go with the flow, it is effortless. When I struggle to hold on, I'm consumed. What would the black swan do?
For instance, I recall the time that I was headed to my last quarter of school after summer break and suddenly realized that I had forgotten my toothbrush (of all things). And I could feel my whole path in front of me fall apart. Still, I continued on and day after day I struggled to hold on to what was crumbling. Within a month there was nothing else to hold onto and I left.
Yes, the recent clips keep bringing the focus back to the Inner Child, the apparent, present key. And I keep hearing in the clips One being. Another key or the same? The theme of one keeps coming up for me. The recent vision I wrote of in the Ophiuchus thread comes to mind again. I may go back through some clips/courses as I wonder about a few items. There's something about the first question, the Inner Child, and the original ones that I keep going back to. And I wonder too if the Inner Child within asked all the subsequent questions, including the final question leading back to Oneness, the One being?
I recently noticed a black swan who has settled in around a pond in the little town where I live. As they are so rare in Europe, it was something to be noticed !
It struck me immediately for several reasons. First, its presence in the meditation by Almine, and the previous discussion during the online course. Second, at the end of the Copenhagen pod, when I was on my way back to the airport I saw literally dozens of them in the city lake, where they were not present before. And that must be a very rare occurrence too. I had never seen so much swans at once; I asked the taxi driver, and he had never seen that either. Third, the first time I saw this black swan, I was back from the gemstone shop, where I had just bought a small crystal pendant that I wanted to program with my personal sound elixir, which consists, as we know, in an equal proportion of white and black frequencies. Third, I later learned that at the Tampa pod, that was taking place at that very same moment, huge work was done to make life androgynous by balancing and merging the masculine and feminine.
Well, my black swan seems to happy here, for he hasn't left the pond since then. So, Alicia, I thank you for your auspicious verses ...
Wow Marc, that is a beautiful story! How beautiful to have a black swan around. I was looking for a black swan feather last year, but that was not easy to get. Maybe if I try again I will manage to get one this time, fot the black swan in waking up...
I have this big poster in my living room of a black swan, and above is written: Paradiso. So I knew it was connected to something so beautiful and now is the time that this will be revealed... how magical...
I hope to meet you in Antwerp this year (but first in Amsterdam probably?), for I think Choccolats, Diamonds and a Pod is the perfect triad ;-) !
I used to live in Copenhagen, and when I went to the Tivoli Gardens there many years ago, I was surprised to see a black swan on the lake in the park. It turns out that a breeding pair were gifted to the people of Copenhagen by the people of Western Australia... so it is lovely to hear that there are now a lot more!
Else, I will look out for a black swan feather for you when I go walking by our river (The Swan River!) where many of them nest. I have actually never seen a loose feather, but you never know your luck, especially these days!!
Also just wanted to touch on the synchronicity between our posts and Almine's transmissions.. I was pondering in the post above what the directions west and east pertained to and then Almine addressed just that... not that I can remember what she said anymore lol.
Also our dear sister Nimue mentioned in another thread about how we had not examined the direction of through , and that too became a point of discussion in a transmission.
The latest transmissions have left me spinning wildly like a compass at magnetic north, with no bearings, which has been a good thing as I come to realise how practiced we are at polarising into the known. We know what Time is. We know what Space is. We are so comfortable in these poles, that we stagnate. Then we 'discover' there is another end of the stick, and so we have these glimpses ( or even longer periods for some of the masters) of timelessness and spacelessness, and we are entranced by these long forgotten aspects of the whole. It easily becomes addictive to be on a quest to reach or maintain said states. But the key lies in embracing the whole. We are all things, and there is only one being. Currently, I feel like a puppy dog chasing its tail ( or a snake swallowing its one!) as we oscillate between one pole and another, one axis and another, looping out larger and larger into infinity. We are studying something that is like a ball of mirrors, and we get stuck focussing on this little beautiful facet here and that one there, all equally fascinating and worthy of study.. but somehow we have not yet managed to hold the perspective of the whole ball and the facets at the same time. All in one and one in all. If we could practice holding our awareness of the omni-perspective even as our day to day awareness shifts from little facet to little facet, would this not allow for the balancing and resolution of the seeming divisions between these little mirrors? Or would I just find myself in a larger box?
Just a little precision, dear Sharon : the many swans I saw before leaving Copenhagen were all white ones. The only black one I ever saw is here in Belgium.
