Magic Is Afoot

Here John describes the process of being able to ground higher energies, thereby allowing them safe outplay into life. This requires a balance of the masculine and feminine principles within an individual. The masculine principle brings the seed thought, or energy, down, but it can only manifest through the grounding and containment of the feminine. One without the other is an incomplete process. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)

John: It’s kind of similar, if you think, to the principle of how meditation works. It’s a little bit along those lines. When you first start meditating your meditations are miserable, because just garbage is coming up – and more so than usual because you’re giving things permission to be like that.

So then when you reach a certain freedom, and you start exuding that freedom, on an energetic vibrational level, now you become a force of nature that is doing this to others, right out in the open, no meditation involved. You’re bringing something straightaway right into life.

So what happens is, a lot of people then get to thinking that they have to be a bit transcendent. Instead of bringing it down, they have to be more transcendent, and if you get more transcendent you can take yourself out of life, and you could become something that’s not relatable by others, because you are not finding the intertwined similitude that goes beyond the appearances of the physical.

You’re not submitting yourself to finding that, to touching that; paying the price of whatever that is. So the more you can be in the physical, the more grounded you can be, the more you can carry across this transcendent state, which is like the statement now of, feet on the ground head, in the heavens, or something.

You can actually marry those two states as a Oneness. Now, here’s the problem of marrying these two states as a Oneness. You have to now understand the core of feminine energy, and the core of masculine energy.

The core of masculine energy is to bring a seed thought, or a quality, down into life. And in order for it to come into life, it has to be embraced by the feminine principle of life. It has to be ushered in by the feminine principle of life, and the feminine principle of life knows manifestation in terms of how manifestation is.

And so when something new, as an idea or seed thought, is thrown at it, it used to be that that feminine principle was very receptive, but it’s learned to be a little leery. It’s been abused a lot, so it tends to have kind of a jaundiced eye about all of this, and it finds out that it’s appropriate for it to have a jaundiced eye because most of the time these ideas are cockamamie, three or four different ideas and all disjointed.

But the feminine principle that fully is able to surrender, and be at home in manifestation, can take the cockamamie ideas and make them sensible, because every vibration has a reality that has to live out. And they can bring it into manifestation. And when they bring it closer to manifestation, they’re taking this – what was raw energy – and they’re honing it so that it can see itself and be clear and become more real, more divine.

That’s what the feminine principle does with the masculine principle. What happens is, the masculine principle, in other words the seed thought or whatever, which is really divine in its purest essence, gets completely transformed in this process. It gets absorbed, totally absorbed in that process.

What happens to the feminine principle? To understand the feminine principle in terms of… in other words, what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to take this to the essence; making the essence statement in terms of the masculine. What does the essence statement of the feminine look like?

Well, you gain some clues more so from Chinese religion, or religions, the Tao or whatever, than you do from many other religions. At least I don’t know how to read it or understand it in other religions, but I understand the Yin/Yang principle and I understand this as expressed in the Oxnard pictures.

Now in the Yin/Yang principles you either have something that’s all dark with one white spot, or all white with one dark spot. And the Oxnard picture you see it put into a flow where it starts off with the black ox, and by the time young man becomes old man, the ox of his nature goes from black to white – except for the tip of the tail which is still black.

He never transforms the tip of the tail, because then he would have no manifestation then. So what I was looking at inside of myself was, how do I deal with certain energetics?

The masculine goes along and he learns to accept certain feminine ways of being because there’s a lot of quality to that, but there also is always a little subtle limitation. And a masculine that’s closer to the essence knows how to shatter the feminine, knows where he could say something that would just be devastating.

And he will not go there. He knows better because he knows, okay, she may be like that, she may carry herself like that, but even though she’s like that, along with this are all of these other good qualities. So you take and you shatter this, what are you going to have? You’re going to obliterate manifestation.

You’re going to have something that’s just going to go berserk. It’s going to go and lose its mind so to speak. The masculine never goes beyond a particular point. In other words, the masculine can take and bring everything down and have it rendered into soft as wool or whatever; just meaning something would appear.

The feminine can embrace everything, but because she’s charged with manifestation, there’s a point at which she has to still hold something – so that there’s manifestation. It can’t go completely poof.

That final step is like an extraction then, when it goes away for her. It’s not like she transforms that herself, but she’s liberated from having to continue to carry that responsibility. That’s how I saw that.

What’s interesting is what I’m now doing is, I’m putting this into a process like we were talking about earlier, which has to do with this energy as it speeds up, as you have a certain quality about you. The feminine, when it has this quality about her, can say and can do things that can effectuate a change much, much faster than the masculine.

The masculine will have to do it in 20 words. The feminine can do it with just a gesture almost, or just a couple of words – but much more grounded, much more rooted, and much closer to manifestation. So when this quality gets accentuated and you get really close to this epitome of things, magic is really afoot.

No wonder the Catholic Church is so frightened of the feminine coming in to her mysteries. The masculine raw energy, this is what it means by the prima materia. That gets all transformed. There’s the substance from which something new is made, and that substance coming down shifts and changes life.

So the masculine can catch up with the speed sense, of which I see this happening in the morning. And then I can go down and I can affect all kinds of things that I run into, in terms of people and such; I see this in all kinds of ways.

Those that can be fluid find it interesting and grasp it and roll and open up. But wherever there is a degree of power of control, you see this impingement hitting, and if the power and control is really harsh, they have to walk away, or they have to fight, or they have to plot against you, as if you are a force to be reckoned with, and generate a kind of fear in them, as their defense mechanism.

But each person is different.

In this conversation between John and Ann, the territory of spiritual development is discussed. When one is on the spiritual path, the changes that occur on an inner, energetic, level begin to radiate outward. Other people may sense this new energy unconsciously, yet depending on their own openness, the energy can either awaken something in them, or it can cause an allergic reaction to the more potent processes at play. Navigating these changes can test of a person’s resolve to stay on the path. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)

John: Have you been having good energetics in the morning?

Ann: Oh my goodness yes. It’s just incredible. Last week when you mentioned the shift, oh my goodness.

John: The thing about the energetics that one has in the morning is: do you ever feel like you are getting too carried away, like you’re on speed, too animated about things?

What do you think about that when you get like that?

Ann: Sometimes I think: what is that all about?

John: Are you okay being like that?

Ann: Umm, for the most part, but when I catch myself being way too speeded up it’s like there’s sort of an in-between state there, but when I’m too speeded up sometimes I’m usually okay with it, but then sometimes I have to just sit and relax a little bit and bring the energy down a little bit.

John: What you’re doing is you’re pulling it down and grounding it, and when you’re speeding up what you’re doing is you’re tending to get a little bit transcendent, or out of body, with the soul.

And so when you get a little ungrounded or out of body with the soul you tend to… you have an energetic speed and effectiveness and it’s something that is intriguing to others, but it’s something that you have to be a little bit careful of because around people that are denser, or have a more limited world, or are stuck in the need of power and control, you’re apt to ruffle feathers very quickly.

Ann: And lately it’s like it’s really happening with people around; I’ve seen that.

John: That’s kind of why it’s said that you kind of get to a point, if you’re not grounding yourself and bringing it down, you’re going to get to kind of a point where you’re going to develop maybe new friends, and alienate the older ones that are used to you – because you can’t be like that anymore like you used to be.

Luckily, I think it’s slow enough, and subtle enough, that it’s generally not that dynamic a principle of being that harsh, and it’s more along the lines where one buys the belief or illusion, that in the speeded-up sense that you’re at, that you can communicate this across to others.

You can go on that treadmill for a long, long time, until you realize that people are just lilting in the energetic that you are carrying in a speeded-up way. They learn that they only create anxiety with themselves when they fight it.

They know that they can’t readily accept it as them, but they know it’s not untrue because their body tells them it feels okay. But what it does is, to the degree to which you’re affected and communicating like this, you’re stimulating the etheric and you’re stimulating the unconscious in them, and often times you can make their world miserable for them and not even realize it, because you quicken something before they’re ready to be quickened with it.

And yet how can you be any other way? Now the problem is, if you’re yourself, and you’re doing this, what generally happens is you tend to take it on yourself in a self-conscious way, and you figure oh, I have to tone it back, I have to deaden it, I have to go slower, I have to become a little… you need to cloud yourself a little bit, shut down the animation and the speed.

When you do that then you get poisoned, because now you’re agreeing to go along with the lowest common denominator, so that doesn’t quite work. And so what happens is you’re animated in the morning, and then you find yourself having to comport with the environment that you’re in, and by afternoon you can be a complete idiot again. And then every day it’s like that and then you sit there and you will say, why am I throwing away this energetic?

And you are throwing it away because you are feeling that to live this, you’re doing something unnatural – and yet you’re being your natural self.

Ann: Isn’t that interesting how that works?

John: When you are in an acuity like this, you often times have senses of things that may or may not be quite true, in terms of your understanding of say something scientific or something, but on an energetic level, it is true. That’s why there were things that the teacher used to say that weren’t exactly always true, but on an energetic level, the vibration that she was in, was entirely true.

That’s why there are stories that are told, like the training that Moses went through with Khidr, where Khidr did all kinds of things that were, from an outward perspective, really wrong, and yet on a vibrational level it was what was important. The outer appearance was not meaningful, nor the detail necessarily was not absolute in any regard. It was just kind of like something that lilts across in relationship to the space that you’re in.

But the space that you’re in is what is real and that’s what needs to be heard. So if the space you’re in is such that it violates the space of someone else who’s more nailed down in their being, then you’re going to create lots of commotion and turmoil.

Where you will make something dangerous for yourself is if you happen to confront somebody who is fearful, because in their fear they may then take whatever it is that you’re doing, without saying anything, treat it as the enemy, and start taking defensive postures against it so that they don’t have to face something in themselves that they’re not ready, or able, to face – and that is a kind of ignorance.

Generally speaking though they just walk away from you. Generally the people you know are good people and they just realize okay, okay, okay out of my politeness, meaning them talking to themselves, rather than get all worked up about it, which is what they would have to do because you have gone and you’ve tripped something in their unconscious; they’ll just get up and walk away.

That’s what this new energy, you’ve got to be careful with, because this new energy coming in lends itself to a way of alienating yourself from others, because you can so easily blow them away and you can maybe perhaps get to the idea, okay, this is the way I’m going to be, and then if you’re like that, then you’re a wrecking machine in terms of how others bounce away from you, or bounce off of you, and have to maintain their motif so as to not be penetrated.

It’s kind of similar, if you think, to the principle of how meditation works. It’s a little bit along those lines. When you first start meditating your meditations are miserable because it’s garbage that’s coming up – and more so than usual because you’re giving things permission to be like that.

So what happens is a lot of people then get to thinking that they have got to be a bit transcendent. Instead of bringing it down, they have to be more transcendent, and if you get more transcendent you can take yourself out of life, and you could become something that’s not relatable by others, because you are not finding the intertwined similitude that goes beyond the appearances of the physical.

You can actually marry those two states as a Oneness.

The Reprieve

February 11, 2013 ~ d2k ~ Leave a comment

Here John describes a recent dream that shows him how the energy has shifted in 2013. In it, he is faced with climbing a steep mountain, but in three phases. At the end of the first phase, he finds a reprieve – a resting point. What’s next is not clear, but what is clear is that the time of a spiritual seeker dwelling in their own psychologies is over. Now is the time to let go of all that and just be with the energy, letting it show the way forward. (At the end of this post there are instructions and a link to download this recording to your computer.)

John: The other thing that happened a little while back, was this is the dream I told the dream group that had them walking out on me.

I’m standing in some place off to one side, and then I’m looking or sensing more than what I’m seeing in terms of a certain something, like a hill or a mountain rather, that I have to scale to the top of, I have to go to the top of.

Well, I don’t look at the process that’s involved to getting to the top. I just automatically assume I’m just going to zip right up there. And so to go there I have to walk through this lodge that’s between that and this mountain.

My attention is only on the top. My attention is not upon anything else. I walk through this lodge, go out the side door. I don’t see a soul in this lodge. This lodge is somebody’s place and I just walk in, and stroll in and pay no attention, don’t say hi to anybody, and walk out the door.

That’s pretty rude. Yet that’s what I do, and when I walk out the side, it’s like there‘s not even a proper sidewalk there. I’m just walking off on my own, and who should come out behind me but the owner of the lodge.

He’s kind of an older guy, and he has a little limp about him, and he quickly determines what I’m doing and he says, “Oh, nobody, nobody ever goes up there, but you can climb this.” And right in front of me is this mountain that’s straight up and down. “Oh, you can climb this. You can climb this part, but you can’t go way up there.”

So I look at this and if it was just me on my own, I would have turned around and left straightaway. I’m not going to climb that. That’s straight up and down. Finger holes is all you have got. I can’t do that.

Then all of a sudden, around him, a whole bunch of other people must come out of the lodge, because all of a sudden he starts climbing with these other people. And so I guess I’m caught in the swim of things, so I start climbing. I don’t dare look down; I might slip or scare myself.

As I’m going up, it gets easier. I can reach around a corner or something. It’s still like a crevice that’s going up, and at one particular point I even see myself going through where there are some blankets and kind of a little encampment near the top that this woman had, and my attitude at the time was: she’s in my way. I mean, can’t she see I’m struggling to climb this thing and she has got shit in my way?

But she was very kind and very nice and very accommodating. She didn’t hold my attitude out against me, so just a little beyond that is the top, and when I’m about to pull myself to the top of this first phase, the son of the owner is standing there and I think he’s going to kick me over, not let me climb to the top because he’s still a little peeved over my attitude of just walking through this lodge like this.

I climb up to the top, and I’m kind of shocked. What I see around is a number of people, old ladies and things like that, and I wonder, oh my gosh, they made it? There’s a little town up there, and at first I think it’s a ghost town. The name of the town is Stickler.

So the guide, or the owner of the lodge, he comes up to me you know, and he starts to explain things to me. I mean he steps away from the others because this is kind of a reprieve. We’re going to spend the night here and it kind of levels out at this particular point, and then there’s another stretch that one makes that he obviously will be guiding people up that, and then that final one third nobody goes there – which means you’re on your own.

And so that’s where the dream ends. I know that I’m at a reprieve. I know that where it started, I would have said hell no, and if it had been something I would have looked at just on my own.

But I actually started climbing up because I was invited to climb with him. All these other people were climbing. All he said to me is you can climb this stretch, you can climb this part, and nobody goes up there.

And so because all these others, old ladies and everything else are climbing this, well golly gee I guess if they can do it, I can do it. I saw the last to get to the top however of this first stretch wherever there was the reprieve, and it leveled out, and the town of Stickler was, knowing that that phase was done. Well, what was this phase?

This phase was the phase in which you had to contend with all of the personal peculiarities of your nature. My attitude and mood at this woman, having the rude audacity to put her stuff in my way. Now can’t she see that I’m struggling like heck to climb this thing, and now she has her stuff in my way?

Then that rude little personal attitude that I had put on, that part’s still reflecting on me like I’m going to get kicked over the edge. But then when I’m up there, I have to drop all of that. I have to drop all that.

That was just the first phase. Then there’s the next phase, and then after that you go where no one goes.

How do I understand the dream? Well, gee. It’s almost like somebody lied to me, is my first impression. You know if I didn’t know it was going to be like this, if I’d have been looking at this like this straightaway at the beginning, but I ended up going along because other people seemed to be able to do it, so I mean if they can do it, I can do it or something.

If the guide hadn’t jumped out of the lodge, and I would have been standing there looking at it on my own because it wasn’t until he arrived there and I started talking to him, and then I glanced and there was the mountain right there. If I had to look at it straightaway all on my own, I would have said, no way. No way.

I guess I have this completely mixed up. I can’t go to that top that I can sense because there’s no way I can do this first step even. But he says I can do it. You can climb this and then here is all these people and they just start climbing with him.

In one sense, I guess I got lied to, didn’t I? Well, the next question is, am I still being lied to when there’s that other part where nobody goes? Is that another lie? And yet you know that that’s the process.

And so the dream group wants to know what this means, and I’m saying, well the energy has changed, you know, this is the new energy. You no longer sit there and noodle around and dwell upon the minutia of shadow and all of that stuff. You don’t keep digging into the depths of yourself. It’s reached a point where that phase is over with.

Now you have to get on with the program. I can’t tell you what that next phase is because I’m just at the town of Stickler at this point. I said this is a dream that’s a little bit like a station, and that’s my station.

Of course they were asking all these questions about it, and some of these questions were really astute. And the ones who were asking these questions that were really astute were the type of people that you wouldn’t expect to ask the questions, and the ones that were trying to put it into some sort of compartment or parameter in relationship to how you interpret this stuff symbolically were completely lost.

It was nauseating for them. And some of them had to get up and leave. I’ve noticed people struggle before, and it’s caused me to be a little reluctant to tell any dreams because then I notice that it can disturb too. It’s like it burns a little too brightly for them or something.

But this is the first time I’ve seen people actually having to overtly leave just because it tore away at them too much. Now there were a couple that are on the edge, and these people that are on the edge are the ones that work catalytically, and the way I described that to somebody was there is one time when I don’t meditate, one night out of the week that I don’t meditate, and that’s when I go to the dream group.

The reason why I don’t meditate that night is it’s so easy to put yourself into a particular manneristic or motif and maybe be too transcendent from what occurred in the dream group.

And what I’ve noticed is that it used to be when I would go to the dream group, the dream group, potency and power of that dream group used to throw me outside of the space that I would find myself in – and I consider that good that that happened, but not at the time that it happened did I feel that that was good.

I just felt like I got twisted and contorted and sometimes I would be out of whack the next morning, and maybe it would take two or three days, and then I would get it, and then something would shift and fast forward and push me along and that got me outside of the shadows of my own spiritual illusion.

And so now the tables are turned. I did that. I’m okay with the dream group now. I go back and I dream what really took place and was going on. I get shown something really quickly now. And now I guess I have the audacity to expect them to do the same, and are they doing it? Nope.

If you don’t give them the water with the right amount of sugar in it, it’s just not drinkable. And what’s different about it is because I recognize it as being something in the new motif of things in the Whole, to the degree to which I personally identify with it, then I suffer for having done that, but to the degree to which I tweak something that is meant to get it and evolve, I’m just fine. I’m just fine. There’s a fine line here.

Is it because I’m drinking my own water exclusively, or is it I’m fine because I really am taking on the new energy and being true to it? You never know for sure what little component portion still is in a state of illusion, spiritual illusion, but I’m finding this quality and to the degree that is a portion in that spiritual illusion you will suffer for it at some point in time.

Because the subtler the spiritual illusion the harder it is to catch up with, and to live it through, and that’s the schematic that I have to contend with.

In other words, it’s a different way of orientation. It’s not the orientation to the usual shadow dynamics that everybody else is contending with, where you go around and around and around and around and you feel like you grasp something, and I watch people and they look like they kind of grasp something, but I realize yes, but they also twisted it a little, too.

It’s always about something so much more. And we just are so horrible in that we want to always make it about some little octave of our self. You know whatever you’re having to say is still, it’s your own water that you’re throwing out there. It’s your own veils that you are talking from, and that you’re keeping nailed down by doing it that way, too. Instead of letting it go.
