Wesak Report:  Revisiting the Blue Mountains sites, six months on

Recently I revisited the sites we were working with during Wesak of this year, the Year of Grace.  It was interesting to note the changes and the effects of the work that we did during that special time. 

The energy around the pools at the base of Wentworth Falls is very strong, and it is possible to feel the connection running through to Avebury in England.  However, the portal was closed while I was there, possibly because of the number of people who were about.

The energy of the cave in the Grand Canyon was very interesting.  This place was connected with what we did through to other planes of existence, as well as to Avebury.  There were people here also, but the interesting thing here was that the portal was still open, but only one way.  It had become like a one-way window; those on the other side could see through to here but those here, unless their awareness was high, would not be able to perceive through the portal.  It was a very interesting, and stable, connection.

Of course, one of the most interesting effects of this  year's Wesak was the invitation to visit Vera Falls.  Read more about that in the Vera Falls article, on the right.

FRACTOLOGY WELCOMES

We would like to welcome Lidia Litchkovakha and Nima Tavassoli of Wellington, New Zealand, who have recently enrolled in the Fractology Practitioner's Training. .

UPCOMING EVENTS

December 16th Sunday – STUDENT TRAINING DAY   10am to 4pm. Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains.   Please contact Fractology for details. 

December 23rd Sunday -  Guided Walk to Vera Falls, Blue Mountains, Sydney. This is a powerful energy spot, somewhat hidden within the National Park of the Blue Mountains.  Visiting this place is an inspirational way to begin the Season of Renewal.

May Saturday 3rd - Wednesday 7th 2008 – WESAK: THE YEAR OF THE DARK.

The dark is the Void of limitless potential.  Yet for many of us confronting the Void our first experience is one of fear.  This is an eloquent way of demonstrating the Truth; that in order to manifest our deepest desires we must first overcome our deepest fears.  The venue is firming as Kangaroo Island, Australia.  Join us for an amazing experience. Learn to walk through your own Underworld.

For any events listed bookings are essential. Thank you.

FRACTOLOGY and SO-CALLED 'NEGATIVE' EMOTIONS

This might seem like an odd topic but it is an important one.  There are some thoughts that some emotions are 'negative'.  They are often called mis-emotions as if having them is somehow a symptom of dis-ease.

Yet it is a principle of Fractology, and non-dualism, that everything serves, and that includes these so-called negative emotions.  And, as the Season of Renewal is apt to bring out these emotions at times, it seems an appropriate time to speak of this.

Each of our emotions, negative or positive, are simply a message from our subconscious to our conscious self as to what is going on for us in that moment.  Each one is there to give us further information as to how to appropriately deal with the present moment.

So let's consider some of these emotions. 

Fear is one we often avoid, yet it can be our greatest teacher.  It exists at the edge of our comfort zone.  The saying is 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread', not 'fools rush in where angels refuse to tread'.  Fear is not there to tell us to stop, but rather to tell us to proceed with caution.  It is telling us we are in unknown waters and so need to slow down because that way we will make fewer mistakes.  When we make a friend of our fear we never need to wonder what our next step is.  All we need to ask ourselves is, 'what do I fear most'?  and then we'll know.

Anger is an important emotion.  It tells us that we are not getting what we want.  Which is why it is so powerful.  There is far more energy in anger than there is in fear, so when we get angry enough we no longer allow our fear to stop us from going out there and doing whatever it is we need to create what we want.

Resentment is a particularly important form of anger.  This is one that, like anger, we tend to suppress because it is not 'nice'.  Yet without our anger we are unable to maintain our boundaries, and one important boundary is that of exchange.  Would you like a recipe for resentment?  Give far more than you are likely to receive back and you will very soon feel resentful.  Our willingness to acknowledge our resentment is a very important tool for our relationships.  When we don't acknowledge it, when we 'stuff it down' and attempt to carry on as though we are not resentful we continue to give when we are already out of exchange, a sure recipe for creating greater and greater levels of resentment.  When we acknowledge it, it allows us to stop giving, to let go for a while and enable the other person to give for a bit.  This reduces our resentment, while it enables the other person to experience their own value in the form of giving to another.  It keeps our relationships balanced, with a free flow of exchange.

All emotions are like this if we are willing to understand them instead of making them feel wrong.  We tend to do that with the emotions that make us feel the most uncomfortable, and yet they are often the very emotions which have the strongest message for us.

If you would like more information about how to understand and  work with your emotions in this way, please contact your nearest Fractologist.

 If you would like to have your dream interpreted in our newsletter please send it to us at dreams@fractology.info

I was speaking to someone about what was needed to complete a job, but they just kept asking me questions that I couldn't answer so I was attempting to call someone who could give me the answers but my mobile phone kept breaking apart.  No matter how I picked up the pieces and put them back together, as soon as I went to use it, some new part would break or fall off it.        MS

This is a dream about support.  Work, like getting a job done, represents our purpose in life.  And the person who is supposed to be assisting you does not have the skill to do it.  The phone represents communication.  This dream is telling you that there is a break in your communication with yourself such that it is making it harder to receive support. 

We all need support but sometimes we don't know how to create it, and when we do we sometimes don't know how to receive it.  Consider which of these two may be where you need to focus on and begin working on asking for more support from the Universe.  Support is like anything else.  If we don't ask for it we won't receive it. 

Remember to ask for it specifically as this may be the difficulty with your communication.  How and when do you want to be supported?

Ritual for The Season of Renewal

Now is the Season of Renewal that comes around once a year.  The time between Christmas and New Year's each year is energetically very interesting as it is a rather 'blank' time.  By that I mean that most people have their thoughts focused on family and other concerns so that it is a time when there are, within the collective consciousness, very few intentions competing for energy.  Thus it is a time which is ideally suited for the examination of our own intentions.

This is what I use this time of year for.  At some point during this 'blank' period, I find the time to examine my intentions for the past year and review them.  Which ones succeeded?  And how can I celebrate that?  And how can I continue to foster their growth in the coming year?

And which of my intentions did not succeed?  Why not?  Do they simply need more time, more energy to grow to fruition?  Or do they need to be re-formatted in some way?  Perhaps they are not as aligned with my true integrity, my true Beingness or essence, as I thought?  If so, then how can I realign them so they are?  If they are in alignment, is there something else that is  needed?

When I am clear on my intentions, and which I need to acknowledge and release, and which I need to acknowledge and keep or adjust, then I am ready for my ritual of cleansing and release.

This is a simple ritual, but you may dress it up in whatever way feels appropriate to you.

Get a piece of paper and tear in in half top to bottom.  This will give you a left-hand piece of paper, which represents the past, and a right-hand piece of paper, which represents the future.

On the left-hand piece write your old intentions, especially those you wish to release.

On the right-hand piece write your new intentions, especially those that will be significant to you in the new year.

When you are ready, burn the left-hand piece.  Thus you will be releasing your old intentions to make way for the new.

In acknowledgement to your old intentions and how they have served you, do something to celebrate what they have achieved for you.  For example, place those things that acknowledge your accomplishments on display.  They may simply be something you bought yourself as a reward for your accomplishment, or a photo or certificate.  In the spirit of celebration of this time, you may wish to toast yourself or buy yourself a present in recognition.  Whatever it is, let yourself celebrate yourself now.

Then, when you are done, burn the right-hand piece.  Thus you will be releasing into the clear energy of this time your new intentions for the new year.

Enjoy yourself as you continue to journey on into the coming time!

VERA FALLS

There are many beautiful areas within the Blue Mountains, as those of us who were present for this year's Wesak can testify.  There is one in particular that I have often thought of visiting but, somehow, it never felt appropriate.  However, just recently, that changed.  It felt not only appropriate, but necessary, that I visit Vera Falls, and having done so I appreciated why it was a place that was appropriate to visit only when the energy of the place invited me to do so.

I have no doubt that the recent invitation to visit Vera Falls is a direct result of the excellent work we were able to accomplish during this year's Wesak.  One of the participants shared at one point that the way we were working with the land at that time was in a way that had not been done for some time, and the land was grateful.  Doors open with that kind of gratitude.  In this case, the door to Vera Falls.

The track to Vera Falls is an 'historical track'.  This means that it is not maintained by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, although the track is still there and can be followed, although it gets a bit tricky in spots.  This is many ways is a good thing as it protects the Falls as they are not so frequently visited by casual visitors.  The energy of the site is kept cleaner and relatively undisturbed as a consequence.  But perhaps it would be best if I shared with you my experience of my visit to Vera Falls. 

I had meant to go the previous day with a bushwalking group, which would have visited the bottom of the Falls, but that was cancelled.  So the next day I set out to go for a walk myself.  I set out down the Valley of the Waters, thinking to simply visit Wentworth Falls again, as I was not sure that I could follow the track without someone who knew it.  However, when I came to the branching of the track I turned onto the way towards Vera Falls.  There were a number of false turns, but somehow, each time when I thought it might be better to turn back, the way would open up again and I kept going.

It is part of the mythic tradition that the journeyer meets a guide at a crucial juncture.  My guide turned out to be a young couple who were the only other people I met during the whole day.  They were sitting, resting, beside a creek where the path lost itself in a particularly convincing way.  I stopped and asked them how much further it was to the Falls, and they kindly gave me the information I needed, as well as warnings about the difficulties I would face, such as the point where the path disappears entirely because a big tree had fallen over the path and it is a fair scramble to get around it.  They also told me of the dividing of the path, where it came to a true T intersection, and that the right hand path was the way to the top of the Falls.  The left hand path goes to the bottom, which is where they had been, but I knew when they said it that my path was that which lead to the top.  Without my guides I do not think I would have made it to the Falls. I probably would have turned back when I got to the tree.  In such ways do the Old Ones often guard their secret places. 

So I passed the tree, and the various other obstacles, and came to the top of Vera Falls.  The whole track is, for me, the most singularly beautiful place within the Blue Mountains it has ever been my pleasure to visit.  But when I came to the top of the Falls themselves I had no words.  Nor, at the time, any thoughts.

I have been to places where there is strong Aboriginal energy.  I have visited sites where the evidence of their culture is strong.  Indeed, up on Kings Tableland, not far from Wentworth Falls, there are areas of major archaeological importance.  It is an area significant to the Darug, Wiradjuri and Gundungarra people.  Used as a gathering place for at least 14 000 years, it is a highly significant area.  I had even been to areas which had similar energy to this one, which is clearly the energy of a birthing place.  Such a place, which is a place of intense feminine power, is used not only for actual physical births, but is also a place for the beginning of things.  Morialta Falls on the edge of Adelaide, in South Australia, where I lived for a number of years, is a place with similar energy and a place which was connected to the beginning of a number of things in my own life.  So I was familiar with such energy.  But in my experience none of these places was quite like Vera Falls. 

In Vera Falls the Old Ones, the spirits of the land, are still very much present.  And active.

I was instructed to walk up the creek to where the intense energy of the site started.  There are a string of pools there and the last one I came to is filled by a short waterfall.  I was told to sit down in the water and immerse myself.  Well, it was a bright, warm day but the water was cold so I didn't feel like it.  I questioned such a thing, particularly as I was wearing denim shorts which would not dry easily.  However, the Old Ones had clearly a strong intention about it because the next thing I knew I was sitting in the water anyway.  And at that moment there was a crack of thunder and it started raining.  So I got soaked completely.

The next part of the ritual involved following the flow down through the various pools to where it passed over the edge and out into the world.  It rained all the way through this and, when I reached the edge and the completion of the ritual, the rain stopped. 

Sometimes my life gets a little wyrd.  (Yes, that is the correct spelling. It is the old Anglo-Saxon word for anything other worldly - from which we get our own word of 'weird'.)

The energy there is powerful.  It is about powerful beginnings.  The beginning of new paths, of new life, of new manifestations, of new ways of being in the world.

I have also been invited to extend an invitation to those who feel drawn to accompany me.  On the last Sunday before Christmas I am going to take a group on a guided walk to Vera Falls. 

We will be leaving early-ish in the morning and it will take most of the day.  You will need to wear shoes with a good grip, as well as ones that you can walk in the creek with.  (You may wish to put sandals into your pack.)  You will need to bring your lunch as well as something to get wet in.  That means, either wear something that will dry easily or bring a change of clothes with you.  Remember that carrying wet clothes back will be heavy, however.  There will be a charge of $120 for the day.

The walk is mostly all down, which means the return is mostly all up, and there are a  number of tricky spots.  If you feel drawn to come, I would love to have you with me.  However, I will need to speak to you about your ability to cope with the trail.  With luck, we will be finished and back in time to have a coffee together at the Conservation Hut which is at the beginning of the trail.

Transforming the Planet's Consciousness

One of the primary lessons this Year of Grace has brought into immediate focus for many of us is just what it takes to transform the Collective Consciousness of this planet. 

Currently the Collective Consciousness is very codependent.  That is, it is constructed around a dominator - control hierarchy where the constant struggle or effort is to control others, or be controlled.  More specifically this plays out in the triangle of roles we often find ourselves falling into in relationships, whether they are at work, in our intimate relationships or friendships, or, most commonly, with our families.  The three roles that make up this triangle are those of the rescuer, persecutor and victim. 

Very briefly, the persecutor takes energy, in one form or another, off the victim, then the rescuer takes it off the persecutor and gives it back to the victim.  Understanding this codependent cycle is essential if we are to understand that the rescuer is as much a part of the problem as the persecutor.  Certainly, we are often confused initially because it seems that the rescuer is assisting the victim, but when we examine it more closely we begin to learn how the rescuer is constantly propping the victim back up again for the rescuer to take down once more.  A rescuer does not teach the victim how NOT to be a victim (that is true help) but is simply making them more comfortable in their victimhood.  

The constant struggle of the codependent consciousness is to either (victim) avoid responsibility by manipulating someone else to be responsible for them, that is, make their decisions for them; while the struggle between the rescuer and the persecutor is over who gets to control the victim.  This leads us to the golden rule of codependency:  if you do not wish to be codependent, never make a decision for someone else and never allow another to make a decision for you. 

This, of course, does not mean you can't take advice.  But remember, the beauty of advice is that you do NOT have to take it.  It has to remain YOUR choice. 

When we consider our social structures we begin to perceive how all of them have been constructed along codependent lines.  Our legal system is not about teaching the victim how to be stronger, but about deciding who was the persecutor.  Our modern medical system is focused on the doctor taking responsibility for our health.  Our education system is doing its best to make teachers more and more responsible for the learning, and sometimes even the intelligence, of their students.  Many of our social welfare systems are about redistributing control of 'at risk' children rather than focusing on the causes that create the risk in the situation, such as by assisting with parent education.  And the list goes on. 

All of us have been thoroughly conditioned by our upbringing to be codependent.  While codependency is a normal stage of development, it becomes problematic when we become stalled in that stage and do not grow beyond it.  Think of a child whose parents exert so much control over them that they never grow beyond that control, and remain unable to make a decision for themselves, even well into their adult years.  This is currently what our collective consciousness, and our society, is like.

It's time we grew up, grew out of codependency and developed a more interdependent society.

For this to happen the energy of the collective consciousness needs to transform into one that is no longer codependent, but is interdependent.  We need the collective consciousness itself to transform.

While this is greatly assisted, clearly by all of those brave souls who have the courage to live by their own integrity, to live in the fullness of their authenticity and so become more independent, and begin to move towards interdependency, something more is needed.

Interdependency takes a conscious choice, as well as many live skills, to achieve.  It is not something that any of us will fall into by simply 'going with the flow'.  Going with the flow is a passive state, it requires that we cooperate with life and allow and accept what is happening to us and to the world to proceed uninterrupted.  While this can often be beneficial it is only beneficial when the flow is going in the direction we require for our life purpose. 

When the flow of life is not going in the direction we require then we need to do something more.  If not, we are allowing ourselves to become the victim of the flow of life, allowing it to make our choices for us.  Which means we are still being codependent. 

Certainly cooperation is a powerful element of interdependency, but it is not cooperation at all costs.  It is cooperation that benefits us, and assists us to achieve our intentions, directly or indirectly.  For it to work it means we have to first make our choice as to what our intentions are. 

There is something all of us came here to do, whether we remember it consciously or not.  And whatever it is, it is something that we alone, in all the world, can do.  It is a job that will take our unique energy and perspective and experiences and viewpoint to get done.  It is a job that only we can do so that if we do not do it, it will remain undone.  And hence the future of the Universe will be different to what it could be.  So it is not an exaggeration to say that the future of the Universe depends upon us. 

Yet we cannot achieve what it is we came here to do without first choosing to do it.  Often what we came to do was, clearly, something that is not already being done.  This is why it requires our conscious intention and focus.  It requires that we put in the energy necessary to lift the resonance about us to accomplish what we are about.  This is not something that the flow always goes towards - if it did then perhaps we would not have to do what it is we came to do.  Yet we do.

It is by holding to our intentions, by making choices for ourselves and working towards them even when the challenges come, that we move away from our own codependencies.  And, incidentally, assist to transform the collective consciousness.  For we are a member of that collective.

Personal Integrity and the Soul Seat

The Soul Seat is the centre of our connection to our Perfected Self, the Seat of our True Memory.  It is here that we can begin the journey to remember who We Truly Are. 

Our Soul Seat carries the memory of our True Nature.  It anchors our consciousness to who We Truly Are.  It is here our memory is carried from life time to life time, becoming more refined as we gain greater understanding and clarity of our true nature and perfection.  The Soul Seat is located three finger widths below the sternal notch or top of your breast bone. 

The more we connect to our Perfected Self the more open, expansive, energised and vibrant this area will be.  It is then that it will shine with a clear, golden glow and exude the scent and power of our soul colours.  The thymus, over which the Soul Seat is located, is an important part of the immune system which carries the body’s memory of who he or she is, thus being able to recognise when something does not belong to your body.  This is the physical equivalent of the Soul Seat's metaphysical function which is to enable us to release anything which is not truly ours.  

If we do not do this we risk disconnecting from our True Self.  When this happens, this area will be dark, clouded, heavy, dense and constricted.  When the Soul Seat is functioning as it was designed to, when we are connected to our self and aware of this connection, then the Soul Seat is our strongest most powerful guide through life.  By learning to work directly with our Soul Seat we will have a sure and certain guide to what it is that serves us best in life. 

The soul seat can be damaged, usually through our invalidation or evaluation of our self.  A person with a damaged, clouded, or missing soul seat is a ‘lost soul’.  If this is us, then we have lost all connection to who We Truly Are. When a person cannot remember who they truly are, they cannot remember their connection to God.  This, after all, is the same thing.  So it is not surprising to find that depression, hopelessness or despair often accompanies a damaged soul seat. To return hope and faith in our self, as well as knowingness about the sacred purpose of life and God, it is necessary to heal the soul seat.

To begin working with your Soul Seat, focus on the area where your soul seat is.  Feel the energy there.  Is it clear open and vibrant?  Or is it tight, closed and dark?

As you go through your day, pay attention to your Soul Seat.  Notice which activities assist this area to be lighter, brighter, more relaxed and stronger, and which activities assist it to be darker, weaker, and more constricted.  With practice you will become increasingly aware of those things that serve you for they will be the things that enable your Soul Seat to lighten up and brighten up. 

With further practise you will begin to feel the energy that is your own unique essence.  When you are able to sense or perceive or feel this energy then you will have at your disposal a powerful tool for your path in life.  For anything that resonates with your own energy, which is present within your Soul Seat (though initially we sometimes have to look deeply inside the Soul Seat in order to feel it), serves you.  Anything that strengthens your own unique energy serves you.  By living in such a way that you are always acting to increase the strength and vitality of your own essence you will be living in your integrity, and accomplishing what it is that you came here to do for the fulfilment of your soul.

KorTar Korner 

Pamper yourself the KorTar way

All of us who are walking our paths, in Grace we hope, find ourselves from time to time stressed or perhaps even overwhelmed by the challenges we face.  It is important for us, as it is indeed for everyone, to remember to pamper ourselves.  And doing this over the next month, when family and the demands of the season can become yet another stressor, is particularly important.

So I thought I would share with you some of the ways the KorTar products have enabled me to pamper myself in the hopes that you may be inspired to do the same for yourself.

The KorTar energy is a very clean one so perhaps it is not surprising that I enjoy this energy in the bath.  Placing one or more KorTar quartz KrysTals in your bath gives you a clean that is more than skin deep.  The resonant bath that it produces is very soothing to the soul as well as the body.  Sometimes I place other crystals in the bath with me as well.  Not only does this give them a great clean, but the KrysTals increase the power of that energy within the bath and so give me a great boost, especially if I had a KorTar obsidian KrysTal in the bath.  (Please note - it is not a good idea to put flourite in the bath, as it can dissolve or be affected by the water.)

Even the most natural and pure of body oils and moisturises can sometimes contain impurities.  It is a simple fact that we live on a very toxic planet and this is the unfortunate truth with which we have to live.  However, placing a KorTar Healing Configuration over whatever moisturiser or oil I wish to rub onto my body after my bath clears whatever harsh or negative resonances there may exist within the moisturiser.  If you have not tried this, do so!  You will be amazed at the results.

And finally, when I get a quiet moment in which I am inspired to meditate, doing it with a KorTar Radiance Configuration can greatly increase the benefits.  By assisting my chakras to be fully open during the meditation they can assist me to be fully open to the energy of the Universe or my Higher Self at this time, enabling me to receive deeper guidance and healing.  If you wish to experience the full effect of this you may need to get yourself a Chakra Set, which has a radiance configuration colour coded for resonance with each chakra.
