The interior self is the new frontier.
There is as much potential to journey into the infinite depths of our internal space as there is to explore outer space.
The
Inner Arts are a tool we can use for inner exploration and
self-communion as well as for relieving stress/trauma and removing
blocks/voids from the bodymind. If undertaken as a daily practice the
Inner Arts are some of the deepest and fastest spiritual-healing work
there is to embody the Self. The 3 STEPS--Cardiomuscular Release (CMR),
Psychospacial meditation (PSM), Neuroemotional Reprogramming (NER). are
preliminary training for a much deeper JOURNEY--PsychoSomatic Release
(PSR). Inner Arts practice is realignment therapy for freedom from
bodymind holding. It works to achieve Ground zero of emotional
neutrality and equanimity, it also removes discordant static charge and
consequently frees the evolutionary impulse from the inertia of the
past.
The experience of finding Psychospacial Meditation taught me that peace
resides in the enteric brain (i.e.: solar plexus). From that I realized
that our true power and empowerment arises from building and
substantiating that "belly peace" by entraining the brain, heart and
enteric brain in sympathetic resonance. It was then apparent that it
was
receptivity or
biological worthiness, which was the major key to establishing both the Peace of Power and the Power of Peace through the incarnation of Presence!
Biological worthiness is the measure of our degree of
incarnation. That is how much we are keyed into our Self and the All
and this is also reflected in how deeply we are aligned with the
"life-will" or the "death-will." Bliss is simply Eros or the
evolutionary catalyst of the Life-will. Pride arises from a deep sense
or organic unworthiness, and it is this false pride that generates
poverty mentality by creating arrogant, superior and self-righteous
states in which learning and receptivity are diminished. This prideful
unworthiness represents an inertial force by which we are stuck in the
past, entrenched in Matter and cannot awake fully to Spirit in the
present moment. Thus obstructing and curtailing the full flow of the
light of Spirit throughout the bodymind in its connection to the All.
It is this unresponsiveness to Spirit that is the core of our
resistance to enlightenment and our rejection of the natural abundance
of existence.
Since Bliss is the felt-sensation of love, and we are love, the
craving for Bliss might be the re-cognition that there is something,
either a block or void, in the way to being fully integrated as love.
Craving for Bliss is simply craving for more Presence. This craving is
a good thing because if we listen to our heart it shows us the way to
the realization of the full Flow of Light. Freedom or Bliss is making
that which is unconscious conscious by bringing light to it. The
unwillingness to enter a wider field of consciousness through the
illumination of Matter with Spirit and to radiate it out to infinity,
is our only hindrance to happiness.
"Longing is the core of mystery. Longing itself brings the cure." Rumi
Longing of the heart is the key to the Mystery and the answer to the
question of life. However we are not taught to go into it and inquire
into it, and thereby realize a greater life. We are taught to subdue it
with lesser energies and lesser matters, and cut it off before its
greater realization. We are programmed by biological inherited
unworthiness to subvert and undermine the "urge of the divine light
itself." Thus the living death of being unknown to our Self.
The
intent and focus of consciousness alters the quantum field of
consciousness. Ecstasy is the beginning of the Great Way through
communion with the Self and unity with the Cosmos--bliss is the result
of unifying the Universe with consciousness...to make sacred, holy or
whole. Wherever we place our focused awareness there is a simultaneous
flow of lifeforce to that area of our body, field or environment.
Coherent thought and feeling activate energy vortexes within us that
effect energy, geometry, harmonics and warping at the quantum field
level. Eros, love or gratitude and appreciation create coherent
resonance which increases energy flow and integration throughout the
bodymind and by which we enter communion with the omnipresent All.
Basically what yogis do when they transcend the world of form is to
put all sticking points of identification into Emptiness, by voiding
the body chemistry in bliss-meditation. The natural opioids wipe out
the emotional memory associated with the sticking point so that the
individual is not caught up in the vortex of preoccupation with thought
or emotion around the sticking point. Thus we can maintain our
transcendence...that is to flow like a river over and around
happenstance, without being forever caught up in back eddies. The Inner
Arts are the practice of habitually cultivating Emptiness or Ground
Zero.

STEPS TO FREEDOM
1-CMR--Thus as a sequence of practices first we need to establish Cardio Muscular Release
in order to remove nerve static, turn down the sympathetic nervous
system, focus and entrain consciousness and build the inner felt-sense
to generate familiarity with the heart-brain.
2-PSM--Psychospacial Meditation
gives us a tangible grasp of the mind's eye which we focus on a series
of gateways that open up communication between the head-brain and the
enteric/solar plexus brain. Dropping bodymind and bringing organism to
Ground Zero or Peace--giving us the ability to remain in "context"
(unconditional/nonduality/equanimity) no matter what the subject or
object.
3-NER--Neuroemotional Reprogramming eliminates
blocks/voids to empowerment by Presence through infusing the body with
Universal-unconditional value-qualities; thereby changing cell and
neuron growth, raising vibratory resonance and possibly changing gene
expression. Also heals GI tract.
4.PSR--Psychosomatic Release is a journey of a
priori transformation to the Always Already whole body-mind-soul.
Blood, oxygen, immunity, nerve energy, prana and life follow
consciousness...This psychosomatic release work is a body-meditation
that uses the focused awareness principle...progressing through all
holding areas in the body, allowing the light of life to integrate and
unify body, mind and soul. This is a melting process of pushing warmth,
feeling and consciousness into the numbness of blockages of holding.
You can use any "value-feeling" word for attitudinal breathing at any
block you might come across...some blocked areas might tell you what
they are about if you inquire as you work on them.
5-Pot of Gold--Ecstasy
is the evolutionary catalyst and the secret of the nottwo of Matter and
Spirit. The more you do the preparatory 3 steps and the journey the
more you unblock and build self-communication, the greater the amount
of amrita elixir you are able to generate in the Pot of Gold. When you
are proficient in the Inner Arts you can use the Pot of Gold anytime to
gain greater peace, love, equanimity and Unity.
GROUND ZERO
Negative emotions such as anger, frustration jealousy or
divisiveness are associated with an erratic, disordered, incoherent
pattern in the heart's rhythms and consequently throughout the body via
the heart's EMF, superconduction of consciousness and by metabolic
chemistry. Positive emotions give rise to a mode that HeartMath
Institute calls "psychophysiological coherence."
It is
essential to allow the organism to reach Ground Zero long enough and
deep enough to be "structured" in a trans-anthropomorphic mode. That is
only in the resting neutral state of Ground Zero can a Universal
patterning come into effect to slowly transmute the human into the God.
Thus we see that the "acceptance of our Divinity" is a receptive act
that first requires an active emptying, surrender and letting go of
that which we currently are. Apocatastasis means the
reconstitution or restitution and restoration to the original or
primordial condition through the realization of potential.
Apocatastasis occurs when a soul, which is Divine Light trapped in
Matter, frees itself by attaining special knowledge or gnosis to rejoin
the Unified Field or Absolute Reality (God).
The Neutral resting state, or Absolute Peace is where the
ego-mind-defense-associative-meaning making brain is offline and the
body's reality can be fully palpated, that is tacitly felt without
filter or explanation. Once the mind has let go of its tyranny over the
body, we can listen to the pain and abandonment of our organs and
nervous system and then we can "program" higher frequency vibratory
states into them. When consciously and lovingly acknowledged our
abdicated lost parts come back into the orderly fold to greater
coherence. An ecstatic reconstitution of our lost and broken parts
occurs bringing restitution and restoration to the original or
primordial condition of our Divine Self. Without the knowledge for
doing this inner work of reconciliation with our abandoned cut off
parts, we tend to run around like headless chickens looking for this
Lover, Guru or that healer to "make it all better for us."
Actually
with the Inner Arts letting go and diving into the abyss is easy. You
build higher neuronal, biochemical and vibratory structures FIRST,
laying the pathway for universal being, then the maladaptive (ego)
patterns drop away because you no longer have any "use" for them.
Through cultivation of Absolute Qualities we build the Universal or
nondual bodymind through which enlightened experience is possible.
Perturbation of the conditioned mind allows the change in perspective
necessary for Grokking to occur. Grokking of course is nondual
consciousness.
"What we call mass would seem to be nothing but an appearance, and all inertia to be of electromagnetic origin." - Henri Poincaré, Science and Method.
SUGGESTIONS ON PRACTICING THE INNER ARTS
Perhaps stress is the resistance to the stretch necessary to grow. Stress is suffering--suffering is stress.
Through this practice we can train ourselves to be open (vulnerable)
and hence "spiritual," by opening up communication channels within the
body and emotional-limbic brain. Increasing coherency between the left
and right brain, thereby unifying our feeling, sensing, thinking and
intuition. By using these techniques we should notice an increase in
intuition, no-mind and whole-consciousness...plus freedom from worry
and the incessant badgering of the left-brain's analysis. Our critic
and judge that is invested in keeping our painbody and armor in a
defensive holding pattern, is dissolved during this transformational
work, thereby releasing us from our limitations, allowing us to embrace
life anew. If any fear arises during this process focus the mind's eye
on the brainstem while doing attitudinal breathing for peace...peace
into the heart on the in-breath, then down into the solar plexus with
the out-breath.
You might like to begin your Inner Arts
session with hanging, primal release pose and 20 minutes of nude
sunbathing or sun meditation for optimum effects. Also a wheatgrass
shot prior to Inner Arts and a super-smoothie after will synergize the
results. Inner Arts work best on an empty stomach, but the energy boost
of something like wheatgrass juice would be beneficial. Toning and
meditation-pulling energy up the spine, and do toning while you do the
Inner Arts greatly amplifies the effect. Freely allow "huff" breaths
and emotions to occur if they arise. You can also listen to meditation
tapes like Kelly Howell's "Destiny," or "Secret" while you do CMR.
Listening to tapes might help you drop ego-recriminations and disbelief
faster if you are having trouble quieting the mind.
It is best for you to be relaxing lying down for all the inner arts except the primal release pose and the psychospacial meditation.
Stress is
suffering and suffering is stress. Any of the Inner Arts allow you to
detoxify from the days stress, and in cultivating universal-value
feeling-qualities the petty mind is readily dropped because the body is
trained to appreciate the sensation of being free from the
defense-recriminations mind and lower emotional states. When we do not
accumulate our emotional tone day after day, this allows more of a
clean slate each morning, so we can be new and flexible with each
unique day. Thus it will probably cultivate genuine equanimity over the
course of years. I reached psuedo-equanimity with the bliss chemistry,
but it was more of a repression of response due to the neuroinhibiting
effect of endorphins than anything. Dissociation is not a true dropping
and embrace...it takes enormous energy and focus to drop what is not
Self.
The three steps of CMR, PSM, and NER entrain the brain
to the heart and synchronize the heart, cranial, and solar plexus
brains. Cardio Muscular Release (CMR) gives us a tangible grasp
on our inner feeling sense, and reduces nerve scatter, establishes
communication with the heart, conscious belly breathing and an attitude
of self-respect/listening. Then when the nerve energy is well
"organized" and readily employable it is then we can take this
Presence on into Psychospacial Meditation and Neuroemotional
Reprogramming. Because CMR readily establishes a conscious felt-sense
of Presence it is very important to include in the development of the
Inner Arts. You need to first gain some proficiency in Cardio Muscular
Release (CMR), then you need to build up your ability for Psychospacial
Meditation in order to train the minds eye to open the gates to the
enteric brain...to gain conscious purchase on this area...that is to
palpate it with the mind's eye and bring it into conscious awareness.
After which you can run through the Neuroemotional holding positions in
sequence.
How one approaches this practice depends on ones
discipline and time allowance. Obviously the more Presence you put into
it the more you get out of it, for this is "work." Sometimes late at
night in bed I don't have the Presence to do the full sequence
systematically but potter around between CMR and Neuroemotional holding
positions as my body demands. It is perhaps best to set some time aside
during the day for the 3 step process and go through everything
systematically, then during the downtime prior to sleep or first waking
up you can just do a more spontaneous version.
Neuroemotional
Reprogramming (NER) is the focused building of subtle communication
within the nervous system via the generation of plasma balls of
feeling-tone associated with higher archetypal qualities of being. This
process involves a coordination mind, body and soul in a concerted YES
to life by reprogramming tissue from its resistant defensive posture of
ancestral, collective and individual trauma...into its Universal
condition "prior to and transcendent of" the shutdown, limitation and
maladaptive patterns of survival that warp and diminish our ongoing
incarnation. Thus NER is for the purpose of transcending the narrow
reflexive conditioning (armor) we have build up through our social
environment and habitual thought patterns...in order to experience a
vaster, limitless sense of being, extra-dimensional cognition and full
spectrum feeling-tone. That is we get to experience Presence. Each of us has different holding patterns, blocks and numb voids built up from our past.
With
NER I have given a general template of the sequence of holding places
and archetypal-values to work with. I suggest one would start out with
this sequence (which to me at least seems a universal template) and
then move on to feel-sense what is needed your own particular case
relative to the way your neuroemotional matrix has been built up over
your life. Once you have learnt the form, self-inquiry is the next step
in using these techniques. I suggest you locate sticking points and
question them to see if a meaning-cause arises...(worry, envy, hatred,
greed, sadness etc...). Start a conversation with these blocks/voids by
sensing what they have to teach and asking them how they are to be
dissolved.
The Inner Arts combine to help us get more in touch with our inner kinesthetic will.
Only consciousness that is "self-willed" into felt-sense cognition is
effective in building the interior-self...thus we must do our own
"work" if we are to have an internal life of the soul. Because we still
live in a culture of fear, the Western world has yet to fully grok that
the Kingdom of Heaven is within. We generally have an outer persona to
deal with the world and an anesthetized interior; thus the epidemic of
low self esteem, biological unworthiness and powerlessness which is
just now becoming more recognized.
"One simple way
of recognizing emotional health is that ALIVENESS increases. Now, this
of course isn't the only criterion of "spiritual growth" or "self
realization." But "freeing the awareness" is an absolute criterion of
those (above) processes... I want to suggest that Self-realization
requires an incredible amount of audacity to attain. If it means
freedom --- and it does --- then imagine the strength it takes to
individuate from family, culture, neurosis, addiction, and all of the
other assorted gremlins that enslave one's consciousness. Definitely
not for the faint of heart. Yet, in true paradoxical fashion, if one is
strong enough, selfish enough, to attain the Self, then gratitude,
reverence and humility are natural expressions of being infinite and
finite, the part and the whole, the primate and the God. But whatever's
phony don't cut it. Of that I'm certain." Jack, 1998
To
become more of a mystic, that is a sovereign spirit, instead of a
victim, seeker or follower and to deprogram from the automaton,
disingenuous, rote, reactive and assumptive strategies of our Western
conditioning, I suggest a Sufi-like "Pathless Path" training. Chances
are we need the reinforcement of the extra-dimensional cognition of the
Sufi tradition to embrace the full spontaneous nature of Spirit, and
help prevent the regression and reversion to prior-mechanical thought
processes once the peak of our awakening has subsided.
"We
all experience the world of material consciousness, including the
Andean priest, but for them it is not the only world and it certainly
is not the primary world. Every material object also has a spirit or
energetic aspect. The mountains, the trees, rocks, plants, rivers, even
buildings and cities, possess an energetic consciousness. All
creatures, from the tiniest protozoa to human beings, elephants, and
whales, all possess this same energetic consciousness, a "bubble" of
living energy that surrounds and interpenetrates the material body. To
enter the world of the Andean mystical priest you must learn to
communicate and interact directly with this world of living energies
and with the energy bubbles of other people, beings and
places...Intellectually grasping an idea is very different from
experiencing the living reality." 130, Initiation, A Woman's Spiritual Adventure in the Heart of the Andes, Elizabeth Jenkins.
Many
of us have grown up in a culture than denies the reality of the
felt-sensation of this energy world. It is a world much larger and
deeper than intellect can penetrate. Because we have not built the
cognitive senses and language for this deeper world, and were often
punished if we admitted the reality of this energy-world, we basically
were cut off from both our inner shaman and our inner priest. The Inner
Arts help us to get in-touch with the FEELING reality of the energy
world by relaxing our guard and building inner communication hardware.
While
there is some structure involved in training for this FEELING of
energetic reality of the bodymind, what emerges is the larger WILL
beyond the intellect, which has a priori consciousness that is
"wholistic" and far more cognizant of Reality than mere intellect. It
is the Genius that lies behind intelligence; it is the source of the
mind and all else besides. Thus with these practices we have tangible
and immediate recognition of the WILL within us that is being
suppressed by the alienated and dissociated personality...bringing us
back into a sense of Presence, integrity and wholeness which should
have been ours from birth...had we been born in a more enlightened
society. Through such training we can more fully become the
multidimensional being that we always intuited that we were, but could
never fully realize.
The dropping of the mask of conditioned
consciousness is achieved not by the "negation" of thought and emotion
but by the "development" of them. These practices are not for making
men or women more emotional, but of amplifying the perception of the
energy world that is already there; note that emotion here means
felt-sense of the energy world. Like flipping the switch to an innate
sensory intelligence that we have been conditioned out of during our
socialization, while having our emotional wiring laid down in
conditions of untruth, double bind, callousness and avoidance of
psychic information. I suggest there is almost unlimited capacity to
awaken to a vast inherent intelligence and sensitivity to inner and
outer environment that has been knocked out of us...and which we have
been collectively denying is even there.
By rejecting, repressing and cutting off disowned parts of ourselves and our difficult emotions we lose access to the opposite empowering
qualities of the emotions we deny or fail to integrate...thus if we
repress fear we lose access to our courage; if we repress anger we lose
access to focused loving action. It is obvious that that which is
repressed cannot grow, therefore emotional-spiritual development is
held back through this emotional retardation. Since emotion is the go
between mind and matter...having the emotional body retarded in this
fashion is holding back the entirety of human evolution. We reclaim
Presence (whole consciousness) through derepression. Thus we must learn
to be our own Good-Mother, holding ourselves in unconditional
embrace, in order to build the neurology for "transcendent emotional
regulation," i.e.: equilibrium, equanimity and Presence.
When
you set about generating the noble, Universal qualities within your
bodymind, especially worthiness and gratitude...what happens is the
primary wound of separation and shame is healed. You become "whole,"
autonomous and plugged back into the cosmos via your own umbilical. The
old shame, punishment and reward authoritarian projection mechanism
that makes us go search for a Good Mother or Father, or Bad ones for
that matter, no longer exists. The whole ball game of mythic, seeking
and deprivation spirituality collapses and any attention given to that
will only hold one back from the sovereign growth of spirit. Both the
need for a healer, teacher, Guru and lover pass away when we grok or
listen to our Self and directly give our Self what it is we really
need--our own Presence!
"Whoever cannot seek the unforeseen sees nothing for the known way is an impasse." Hera*censored*es
THE REPTILE AND THE BUTTERFLY
You can
voluntarily turn on the parasympathetic nervous system by lowering the
jaw via dropping the tongue progressively into the belly. Then if you
focus peace with the mind's eye on the brainstem and this turns off
recriminations-defense mind that is associated with flight-fight
chemistry. As the parasympathetic switches on the digestive and growth
functions then are activated and the excited fear charge in the solar
plexus disappears so that Trust may be built in that area. Presence
does not incarnate without this biological Trust being established in
the solar plexus, and only through Presence is soul-relationship
possible. We normally associate the more human-humane nurturing
qualities with growth/parasympathetic/visceral activity. The activating
or sympathetic nervous system's protection mode doesn't allow for
bonding and togetherness, nor "depth" in relationship.
Bruce Lipton in the google video "The New Biology Where Mind and Matter Meet 2"
said that stress chemistry allows more EMF and radiation damage to
occur, but if you are not stressed EMFs and radiation do not affect you
as much. It is the same with social influence also, if we are stressed
then other people can influence our health and wellbeing to a much
greater degree. Even our own thoughts would impact our health more if
we are already stressed.
As we drop into the body and
reclaim all our painfully numb cut off places (occlusions) our
brainwaves drop into the alpha and theta state. By progressively
entering deeper and subtler brain waves we become more relaxed,
integrated, expansive and present. Eventually when all our occlusions
are filled with the light of Presence we completely shift beyond
identification with the body, mind and ego to naturally re-align with
spirit, thereby allowing effortless disengagement from limiting
physical, mental and emotional patterning. With our
template/temple/temporal cleansed so to speak, we are free to create a
life that is an expression of higher consciousness, rather than
acquired conditioning and reaction.
Discoherence or static in
the nerve circuits generates confusion, stress, lack of efficiency,
inability to concentrate or non-communication of consciousness. It is
the degree of efficiency (charge minus resistance) in neurological
functioning that determines our alignment with the Universal. Achieving
"Ground Zero" by dropping the bodymind is another name for "peace"...it
is this neutral resting state that allows the static to be removed from
the nervous system and thereby give a chance for the Universal imprint
of the soul to evolve the bodymind beyond reactive social conditioning.
First
we have to get to the rational, conscious level through prefrontal lobe
"executive" control of the limbic functions. But this control cannot be
a repressive form of control...creating a Superego that barely lets any
humanity arise. To break from the inertia of the past and build a
beneficent nurturing superego we need a full-on training combined with
bodywork, energy arts, nutrition, psychology, philosophy, spiritual
practices etc...thus we need to essentially "rebuild" the human from
the ground up in order to organically become transcendent of the
knee-jerk nature of the consensus trance and the residual pain in our
own wiring.
Repressive belligerent prefrontal lobes do not
allow the emotional limbic structures to evolve...which is why the
majority of adults are still emotional children. Kundalini however by
lifting the repressive mechanism of the prefrontal-Superego and
marrying the hemispheres of the brain, allows us to not only release
the "charge" that was built up from an ineffective childhood, but also
allows the limbic brain to "cleanse" itself and "evolve." This
derepression, expression and maturing of the brainstem and limbic brain
is the most tangible boon that kundalini offers us at our present stage
of collective evolution. In the later stages the permanent ecstasy of
kundalini moving through the limbic brain's pleasure centers, means we
have the grace, detachment, energy and desire to do whatever corrective
work needs doing on the personality and social skills level.
According
to people like The Mother (Aurobindo)...we flip back and forth between
unity and suffering, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. We
thus vacillate until we willingly go to God and in this way we flex our
muscles, hone our homing beacon and burn off our karma. However this
flopping around is mostly due to lack of lucid awareness, applied
practice and discipline (i.e.: ignorance). There must be an
"active-visionary-goal" in place in order to know which way to turn the
rudder. Willed imagination occurs through a conscious act of will. Then
every storm that arises we apply the Inner Arts to return to stable
sailing again in the direction of our dreams. Both the interior
landscape and the external landscape actively pull our attention here
and there. Our ability to weather these environmental gates
depends on the level of our transcendence of our archetypal matrix, and
our skills for insight-penetration, determination, concentration,
discipline and Pragmatic Outstanding Operations (spiritual agency).
These skills of aware-will determine how well we proceed through the
environmental gates toward the completion of our goal, whether the goal
is worldly, relationship or spiritual.
Once the unconditional
Universal body is substantially developed it becomes somewhat
impervious to the ignorance (uneducated, unskilled, unconscious) of
others. Thus we grow a social immunity, at which point we enter the
chrysalis stage of sovereign development, where we can grow at our own
pace without too much regression and retriggering from outside forces
and social influences. To substantiate this fragile condition, when we
are on the cusp of moving from the reactive social animal over to the
sovereign individual, we may have to move on from previous
relationships and environments in order to be free of the inertia
(expectations and attitudes) of others who invariable will try to keep
us in the exact same spot that they put us in. That is most people
don't even know change is possible and they are resistant to change in
you especially increased Presence, sovereignty, skills and agency. This
is so because Freedom is a threat to the need for power and control.
Eckhart
Tolle helps us in touch with the Now...that is to start moving "toward"
reality and not away from it. Tolle has made a major contribution in
making the painbody a thing not to be feared but to be embraced. Our
human primate society is the most aggressive of any animal on earth,
hence the potential for pervasive full spectrum PTSD generation due to
general ignorance, lack of awareness and lack of spiritual development.
This potential for nerve damage coupled with the insidious double binds
and paradoxes we live in, could be generalized under the term
"parasite." This is the way Miguel Ruiz was using the word parasite. In
this sense any thought or action that is not based on spiritualized
love is in essence parasitic and coming from separation not Source.
Ruiz is great for people going thru awakenings to deal with their
archetypal matrix and feel self-supported...because we/I are literally
almost totally unsupported in this society, so we have to internally
build self-preservation skills. Ruiz offers a kind of
loving-warriorship for this, and helps us to get over the
shame/guilt/blame programming that will keep us at lower realms of
being.
I adopted the use of the term painbody because people
were using it, but I see the PTSD effect of reality on the body as the
cellular memory of "defense response" to danger, insult or injury. I
think this is how Tolle uses it also. As you know the painbody (Tolle)
loves to keep growing and occupy our bodymind like a parasite (Ruiz).
Thus we return to the same habitual grooves like a stuck record, until
through repetition we gain some objective distance and can see that we
are simply wasting our time living down on those levels. Then we start
looking around for the skills, experiences, people, ideas, resources,
opportunities with which we can pick up energy and substantiate at a
higher order of being. The painbody of higher states, is not the same
painbody as lower states...it is concerned with different agendas, has
a different intention and has a different knowledge set to teach us.
The Inner Arts is a method of skillfully allowing the painbody to
evolve by exploring it and listening to it, and melting it with nondual
compassion (Presence).
Because the wiring "to" the reptilian
brain from the newer parts of the brain are vastly less than the wiring
"from" the reptilian brain, this makes it possible for our autonomic
and defense functions to interfere with our higher brain capacities if
the charge, damage and dysfunction are not addressed. We address chaos
in the nervous system by directing loving, embracing consciousness into
the cut off areas so they are magnetically bought back into the fold of
the organism-total. The propensity to unconsciously remember pain and
suffering at the expense of current reality is parasitic in that it
will color and dictate our present reality unless we work to
vibrationally remove cellular PTSD from our tissues.
Some
personalities create ongoing brain damage to themselves through
indulging in retriggering mental-emotional pain. By infusing the body
parts that are involved with our defense-system (social) wiring with
compassionate Presence we invite those excluded cut off parts back into
the organism-total. When the light is flowing strong and evenly
throughout the body and brain with little blockage/contraction then we
become more impervious to retriggering into pain and brain damage, from
environmental triggers both within and outside. While pain is
commercially exploited by the medical, psychological, spiritual and
entertainment industries. Through state-resonance the pain we carry
around in us tends to generate automatic social responses and
situations in which we get to experience more pain. Thus accumulated
pain tends to accumulate more pain through attractor factors that are
mostly unconscious. Whereas happiness, success and lack of pain tends
to be rewarded with more of the same.
The main problem with
humanity at present is the inability for original thought in daily
life...and this is so perhaps because of subtle and overt fear
mongering. Fear literally spiritually brain damages people into
conformity (orthodoxy) through dropping people back into the more
primitive circuitry. Even so the Reptilian Brain is not the enemy. The
autonomic brain becomes a problem when it has not been allowed to fully
integrate into the higher compassionate pilot of soul, due to low
conscious childhood circumstances, life-trauma, deficiencies in
experience or the general milieu of fear and anger in society. The
higher spheres of the Self cannot substantiate themselves into
existence when there is unfinished business left in the autonomic
structures. Besides direct energetic reworking on our reptilian
hardware, there needs to be a development and refinement of social
engagement patterns and psychospiritual adjustment to our social
context, in order for the triune brain to fully integrate and liberate
the stable coherent energy needed for deeper transmutation to occur.
Creating
the Universal Body and infusing our blocks and voids with the bliss of
Presence allows us to more fully show up in all circuits. The bliss of
Kundalini is the Grace that is given, but then the "work" we must do
involves applying the will of gratitude and receptivity to let go of
the past and the conditioned self. The work is to put Presence
(love-consciousness) into the places that lack it, and with
"transcendence" to treat the occlusions as if they were not even
there...touching the wholeness beyond the separation. Transcendence is
the compassionate, objective Witness that resides beyond the conscious
mind. Focus on healing is still reinforcing the problem state...but
once you get out of the problem state and into a state of
transformation then change (healing) is possible.
Note to practitioners: If you are regularly facilitating
others through the Inner Arts you will need to be a rawfoodist to have
the energetic sensitivity to do so; also you will need to take
superfood smoothies and do cardio-aerobic workouts, such as running
several times a week. The reason being that even facilitating others
through this inner work propels us into radical parasympathetic
opening, and this excessive and repetitive heart expansion might
increase down-time, fatigue and narcotic trance, thus interfering with
a balanced life.
Metamorphosis is about growing a strong enough body and
