Return of Quatzequatel

Today, drawing in my sketchbook, I find a peculiar picture...A Snake with wings, crystal hovering above the head, a pitcher of water wrapped at mid and a dorje held firmly by the tail. The winged snake is surrounding an eye, encased in tin, with an iris of ethereal circuitry....what is to me an obvious symbology, yet only half intended.
Creative Self Expression, experienced as a channeling of sorts, tends to be one of my best references for what exactly is happening energetically both within and externally. Some great adventures and strings of discovery have been initiated through considering a drawing manifesting before me beneath my very own pen. The content is leading, a story about an insight best contemplated lightly, prophetic only in what this moment lends to such.

Creative Self expression, creation by principle, Self as all encompassing, and expression, a reflection of the inner workings of One's Being as a product of what has been observed. The observation is subtle, subconscious, and all pervasive into the matrix of information that appears to surround us. The all pervasive Self is just this, the all of which the mind watches and compiles into an experience relative to One's karmic resolution or discovery of creative potential.

The obvious symbology is within grasp of even the remotely curious researcher. A pitcher to symbolize the coming of the age of Aquarius, a Dorje to signify the masculine contribution, a winged snake as Quatequatel...a mythical figure of whom's importance refers to the traditional beliefs of ancient South American cultures, specifically, the integration of unity consciousness within the physical realm. At least, this is how I have come to understand such.

The symbolism of the picture is not entirely what strikes me, as for me this is a rather direct depiction of popular concepts. What bring me about the inspiration to write on the topic is how Art, when channeled, perfectly reflects the patterns of the subconscious....or perhaps the unconscious, the super-structure of which the fabric of things is painted upon.
Creative Self Expression in the form of visual and musical themes shows what lay just beneath a persons Being, not just the beliefs, but the perspective therein. I can recall growing up and looking at the content of my art, having a rather clear portal into what was going on inside. Of course, when drawing comics, super heroes and villains, ghosts and monsters, in my younger days I was more reflecting directly what interested me. Later on pictures showed what I was working through quite clearly.

It is as if I dream on paper, processing and resolving the energetic patterns of which my perspective of reality is founded. This is possibly why I did not easily recall dreams if even having the slightest idea that a dream had occurred, during my first 28 years on this planet. I was watching my mind repair, restore, and quantify reality right on the paper in front of me.

A giggle hums inside as I recall some works of art...glimpses into the unfoldment of Self-Realization. I could list them off and describe the bits that outline this continuum of observation if I were into such a tedious task...and naturally if such could maintain the interest of a potential reader.

At first the images showed the revulsion against what was being offered as true. A picture of a robot having a wicked gremlin tearing a microchip from the head, a man bound by both straight jacket and thread holding the mouth and eyes shut, a man waist deep in water curiously holding a key as he walks through an open door... visions of a path of refusal to accept, acknowledgement of the forceful way of teaching society portrayed, and a burning desire to be free of the illusion. This freedom has come, and is being explored right now.

When the perspective shifted so did the content. As a foundation of peace and self-evident truth was fortified geometries began to come out in my drawings. Questioning these shapes blew open wide the doors of which the fundamentals of energy dynamics began to nearly with obsession fill my contemplations. I watched as each picture bore more turns, more depth, a furthering of complexity as comprehension broadened.

The time came when patterns were half of what filled my pages, Escher-like tessellation's mixed in with abstract spatterings of curves and splotches of ink. Mandalas of magnanimous variety spilled forth...as if a vein had been tapped of which creative flares of electricity coursed into being with each stroke.
This is what I like to see in Art, not pure symbolism, or chaotic abstraction, but rather a reflection of the unique perspective of divinity as such exists beneath the living expression of the physical. If we see the world as gross, perverted, and wicked, if we harbor pains and discontent for what life has offered us, how we express ourselves will reflect this. As we begin to discover the inner workings of our own mind, creative energies, or Nature in general, so does what we produce as illustrations, music, and poems display.
Now, this is not the limit to which how we see the world comes into Being, our every action holds the same energy. Fear is expressed in countless ways just as trust. Sometimes we are just copying precisely what we see in a new way, reshaping a design originated in experience. How we treat others, the way we spend our money, how we interact with all the things and stuff, the content of our lives, is imprinted with how we understand such.

What would we choose if free from dependance of which our mind resolves the observations of life? Unless there is a comprehension of unity, of the holistic nature of energy then what we create will only show a superficial dimension of ourselves. If we are to create according to the truth implied upon us we shall always just perpetuate the energy of the objective world.
Just a moment of consideration that there is an infinite field of possibility just beyond One's definitions of life can dramatically shift what we create. When the world becomes a place built upon unbreakable compassion, or Love, our sounds will harmonize, the colors to which we paint will inspire the sense of connection felt when expressed.

We can see through the eyes of another through relation, taking possibility as our foundation, or we can search an expression of the creative Being for the symbolism as to how we have discovered such. We can feel through their words, through their curves and palette, we can see our own Self in that which may appear entirely separate, if only at first glance.

Today I am grateful for the ability to observe the workings of the mind and the connection I have been blessed to feel. For each work of art that shows the complex workings of another experience, and for what such inspires me to remember or realize, I choose to be in service of the growth of the world around me.
How could I desire to transcend such a place of unique mystery? A realm of which each breath speaks of the infinite is at hand, and I choose to marvel at what spills forth from this pen, from these keys, and mouth.

We are discovering our creative potential each moment, may we each see in the world around us that which elevates, connects, builds trust and compassion....and may we share equally that which we are so freely given.

Blessed Be,
Nathan

Belief

Last night an inspiration came in the form of relation to a Goddess and her perspective. The idea of how belief rests and moves in the mind came to a sort of apex, where my own observations of energy were put into a new perspective.

Some time ago with the discovery of relation I began a new course of being empathetic, without awareness as it now seems. The art of seeing through the eyes of another, of letting go of definitions and considering the depth of possibility, brings the mind into a whole new network of comprehension. For this the revelation of last night brought a sort of completion, an unfolding of potential I was entirely unaware of being a possibility. This post here is a reflection of my own deliberation of the idea and the solidification into a belief that is energetically free flowing and yet contributes to my perspective.
The idea is that the aura, or energy, of an individual is created by the way we each see, compute, and respond to our experience. That when we relate there is a great deal more happening than just opening up to the possible concepts and feelings involved in the energy. Often there is a sense of mystery when relating, although I wasn't sure where this enigmatic quality of another's energy came from. It seems now that there is a very reasonable meaning to this.
Our minds are very special machines, very complex and incomprehensible, the most magical component of experiential existence for sure. A gift from Nature to It's Self, the ability to separate consciousness into individual points of reference, this is how great the mind is.
This mysterious energy now appears to be generated by the considering of possibility, that when One asks the universe what is normal, what is best or right, there is a shift in the field of energy they are generating. At the same time, a person whose mind has defined and contained their experience into a static structure loses this mystery, if only temporarily. To One who relates to this what they find is like a book, the higher possibilities are easy to find as they result from what we can directly observe as the beliefs instilled by the state of our humanity.
Patterns of energy....beliefs, the ideas that have been impressed upon us by society, a way of unconsciously defining Being through the conduction of other individuals. Perhaps we find this same way of perception through our own definitions as well, that we may form unique concepts and just the same hold these as truth as a static structure of Being.
Judgement, this is what it comes down to, holding beliefs about things in a way that is not malleable. most often this is an unconscious process, which means we gather ideas and concepts from what we are provided as true by experience and without our own awareness turn these into our way of perception.
These unfounded beliefs, those which we do not actually choose to hold as true, must create a degree of conflict in the process of the subconscious mind. Here we could get into a very semantical discussion, and although there is so so much to go into on this topic, I would prefer to stay on the most surface level. That we learn from our experience, from what we are told and what we see as true, without actually bringing the light of consciousness, the power of our own contemplation and feeling, into the idea.

Examples from my own life may describe this best, perhaps even provide a platform for relation from the reader. Through my youth there was a dramatic amount of resistance to what was being impressed upon me as truth. I am unsure why I naturally revolted, why unlike so many others, as such appears, I did not just comply with the concepts provided for me.
The roles of Mother and Father as shown to me by my experience was unacceptable, what I was told and what I saw as being held of importance just didn't make sense. It was unfathomable just how we could hold things so important that were trivial when put into a perspective of existing in unity with sustainability and prosperity as a goal. For this is what we were saying, that we were working towards a better world, that our collective purpose was to live in harmony, yet the conditions we set to achieve such just didn't seem to fit.
One outstanding concept was provided to me by my Father, at least this is one of which I can immediately recall my refusal to accept. This was the importance of money as the primary source of all wellness in life. Not only did I resist this idea and demand that friendship was the most importance part of Being, but I actually had to go through a process of resolving this self-created idea. For quite some time my relationship with money reflected my inability to accept such as important, and as a result there was a lack of security, as well as a lack of sufficient financial structure to really work towards my individual potential.
Another concept, more subconscious in nature, was the impression that I was unworthy of happiness, of success, or wellness. I had looked at the conditions of my childhood as a direct example of a curse, that I was a fool, a lost soul, and more than likely trapped in a karmic loop. Wether it was separation from my Mother, Father, or the constant attempts during my youth to medicate or "fix" me on some level or another I am unsure, more than likely it was a compilation of it all. Without real choice as to what I believe of who I was, what I was deserving of, this pattern worked its way upon me until finally the discovery of worth and importance in this life was revealed.
I can see that no matter how a belief is formed, that only when awareness is brought into such, through recognition of action, thought, or feeling, can the purpose be revealed. A concept that does not serve One's purpose, the way they would like to live, the truth of who we know our Self to be, actually serves for such to be realized. This is how the workings of belief seem to function in society in general. Yet that bridge of which on one side is living a pattern and the other is the awakening of truth resulting from the pattern is a mystery in It's Self.

This process of solidifying our understanding, intentions, and therefore actions, of our experience and what we create is by far one of the most intricate patterns of Nature. The complexities are quite comprehendible, and I will leave the contemplation of such to the reader. In other works in and about this blog you will find more information on Belief, what I really want to focus on is how we emanate an energy according to the state of our perception. We are discussing a very fundamental quality of our reality, of Nature, and as there is so much to be said, sometimes we are best to just leave the details to the epiphany of the individual.

The focus of this article is how One maintains an energy of mystery or uniqueness within their own Being. How we can be to the world a product of the world or a catalyst of which the world has not defined, but our own consciousness. There appears to be three vital points within this progression: First we are defined by our experience, then we question our experience as such is relative to who we are and what we create, then, finally, we bring consciousness fully into all of our Being, allow possibility to dictate the universe, and become a independent source of creation.

We transmute the concepts and patterns of belief in life through our consciousness, through what we find is true through relation. Of course we also forgo this process and just hold concepts that are not verified in our reality beyond the superficial observation of such.

Let me say again, we either create according to what the state of the world has taught us or through what we as individuals have discovered within. That is the bridge, the crossing occurs when we go within.
The definitions of life become personal, we find our special place as a conscious co-creator of reality rather than just being a component of a preexisting system. We free ourselves through inner contemplation, or even meditation, we see that what we find in our experience does not always correlate to the popular system of belief.

So this mystery, this dynamic movement of energy where definition is temporary, is projected from us into the world. The mind is working with energy, a very vague and mysterious concept It's Self. When the world is in transit, and we are not just perpetuating the static structures of society, we become a magnificent catalyst for the same change to occur in all those who meet us. We become an independent universe within our shared universe, one where the perspective provided by life has blossomed into a conscious creation.

Oh how beautiful this idea is, the gates to heaven seem to open at this point. The majestic unfoldment of Nature seems to exist specifically for this purpose, that we may expand possibility into our own realms. This is potentially the highest purpose of what we call illusion, that we may become each a point of reference for how diverse we can be. When we relate to another and we find a mysterious world where the transience of possibility is captured into a moment of Being we are seeing a reflection of God so pure.

All rests upon unity, that through our connection, through our shared experience the individual consciousness can shape the world through perception alone. That from our independent source or experience can trickle out an energy of mystery, that which can ultimately transform this world into a place of which each time we see the eyes of another a universe collides with our own.

Today I am so very grateful, inspired, and brought into bliss by this thought process. A song comes onto my itunes that resonates as an anthem, a perfect song to make the soundtrack of this moment. Who created this song? How magical the inspiration of their life has been filtered into a symphony. Oh, how the world fills with mystery upon this revelation!

Thank you for reading, feel free to leave questions for that which was not clearly understood...there is much to be discussed!

Blessed Be,
Nathan

From Singularity, to Duality, to Triality and back

Last night I was reading a book by Jean Dubois called "The Experience of Eternity", such a marvelous work by an unfathomable channel of understanding. He was writing about duality in a way I had not considered such before...a rather rare and astounding happening when it comes to contemplation of the dynamics and structure of energy as of late! Let us dive into the mysteries of how this vibratory field of consciousness puts It's Self together, untangle this web of possibility and inch a little closer to the verge of which we need only to jump in order to fly.

During my own studies over the last few years I have gone back and forth from delving into how Nature divides and comes together, considering the multiplicity of separation. At the peak the idea that life is full of triads, where all dualities have a central point of reference of which equilibrium rests, was resounding. When consciousness is submitted into a state of duality it immediately creates a position within the multitude of spectrums. The "I Am" of us each takes a world of duality and splinters it into a world of trinities.
Mr Dubois, the infamous alchemist, divided the energy of creation into two states; matter and spirit. With consciousness as the medium, or the source of both, then only from within it's duality does it create a trinity out of each energetic manifestation. Consciousness, the field of information that is infinite, is narrowed down or coagulated into these two energies, of which each has it's own spectrum of qualities....It is experience, or the observation of duality, that serves as the third point, the axis, or the reference to which the duality may exist.

The journey into consideration of separation as a vital means for consciousness to discover and comprehend existence is a perilous path, and as many have found, we are best to consider such within a envelope of mystery. We do not seek to solve, to reach a finite of the infallible and eternal immaculate. Rather we resolve, we tinker within an already perfected mechanism and in doing so reveal higher and higher states of consciousness. The frequency and wavelength of the vibratory space awareness brings forth simply extends within and that retracts into expression.
For me this path is a narrow edge of which on either side rests chaos. On one side rests singularity, an indefinable singularity of which position within such is lost, on the other is the most obscure abstraction of the singular into a meaningless nothing. Matter and Spirit, a spectrum of which two qualities are observed by a third, an axiom that is the conscious Entity.

In practical terms we first acknowledge the unity of all things, the idea of duality leads us to cringe. Our world seems dependent on the recognition and utilization of our Oneness, and this is very true. If we live and act in a way that represents our absolute interconnectedness then the physical seems to harmonize. How could we fail materialistically if every action is a reflection of the knowing that all is One? When consciousness divides into matter and spirit the heart of each is the key quality of the opposing polarity. For Spirit it is the separation of the passive energy that is matter that defines such, for Matter the required catalyst for any meaning is the active energy of spirit, that which makes all manifest into a inseparable and singular matrix.
The ideas of Matter being passive and Spirit being active was also made clear during my reading. Truly I relate such to masculine and feminine energy, one being static and structural the other being dynamic and evolutionary. This has been the central theme in a great deal of my thoughts, feelings, and creative endeavors over the last year, and yet the central point had evaded me.
I would say child, or the fusion of both static and dynamic was the central point of the ultimate duality. Now, thinking on such from the perspective being formed of this new insight, I see that I merely worked around an enigma, rather than asking such truly what It is. Energy is either moving or not, there is no intermediate point beyond the observation. This would mean that the child, birthed from the union of man and woman, was neither changing or staying the same...of course this just doesn't make sense. Just because on practical terms we can see that a child's gender potentially has no relevance to the child, does not mean that the psyche is not being shaped by such.

In the most Absolute context consciousness, the point of awareness we each call "I" is not the axis of the grand duality of creation, but the singular energy which is divided. Then of course once within one realm or the other duality becomes a trinity as consciousness has arisen once again as a reference within it's own creation. Now, what is the practical use of all of this?

First off, great, we don't have to nervously look away when duality is mentioned for all polarities are consciousness reflected in one way or another. This is a great relief, we aren't pushing each other away, we aren'y shunning the gross abstractions of life that are Matter, nor are we blowing off the Spirit as intangible. We accept that both are natural and universal qualities of the same thing, Energy, Love, God, Nature, or Consciousness, whatever we choose to call such.
The second bonus in this line of contemplation is how we apply the themes of duality into the opposing polarity, that we see that not only does one give rise to the other, but also such acts as a catalyst. Without one shred of unhappiness, or a rise in one's joyous state to therefore redefine the degree to which one was happy previously, we could not know happiness. We need change to have any means to even acknowledge a the existence of a quality, situation, or thing.
With all dualities giving rise to each other, being non-existant without that which such is not, then we can be grateful for It all. Not only are we filled with gratitude, but we can fathom that perhaps the challenges of this very moment are serving a moment to unfold for the discovery of a great new quality of the manifest to arise.
We have read and studied the idea that ego is not our enemy, and we can see how through fear we find trust. That the distractions of society can inspire one to question, to look into the illusion and see what feels real. The possibilities are endless when we submit to this prime property of creation and when we harness the power of such in the blissful serenity of total acceptance we can quickly transform and resolve each thing, both within and in the world around, into it's highest potential.

For this is really the goal of Nature, a system of creating better and better versions of It's expression has to reach some sort of climax. This climax is the harnessing of even the most difficult to comprehend or accept energies or functions. When we as individuals become Nature Self-realized we can utilize the mind and the power of relation, of analogy and metaphor, to cause our own shifts, each with intention and full awareness.

Remember, if you can find such as truth within, that only through the Many can the One be realized and only through living as One can we as Many ascend together into the highest potential of our creation.

Namaste,
Nathan

The Acceleration of Ascension

We are approaching the pinnacle of evolution, a radical turning point for all life, and yet in this moment it already exists. There are many theories and angles to consider what exactly is shifting, what is approaching, or what exactly is happening to this world, while what is really important is what we feel and believe inside before and beyond what others may suggest. Lets take a moment to open our awareness to possibility, and see what resonates as truth.

Nature has this paradoxical way of creating progress through any circumstance. Obstacle creates adaptation, the superior traits prevail directly through the adversary of the challenge. This is unmistakable in all of life, that is up until we reach the human condition, the expression of creation that is all we are.
Looking at the complexity of Being as an individual, a community, or society, there appears a great deal more to encounter in order to continue on this process. There is not always one solution, one creature may grow a tail while another grows wings, the diversity of life is a thriving example of this. The energy that has manifest as the objective world will express the utter depth of It's existence, no matter how long or intricate the process must first become.
What is time when countless years pass in order to birth a galaxy, to form a sun that can bring forth life on what was once a barren chunk of earth? Here we are living the crescendo of creation, building the static charge of passion that is to explode into a dynamic state, the anticipation is palatable. We as Nature have long created this world that we may awaken within a body, to taste and smell the height of creation. We have only to recognize this as an individual for such to fill awareness of the moment with infinite wonder.
Many questions come to mind that would seek to kindle the fire of excitement as to what it means to Be, yet if you cannot hear the symphony then to pry at the realization of the unfoldment of such would be silly. One word passes through mind a second time, and now a third, this word is "patience". We can go so far into what could be, we can stew about over the endless concepts and components that illuminate a field of probability, when ultimately the end result is a simple whisper to hold onto the feeling and be present with what is at hand.

Here we are at a time when sweeping change can happen in a matter of weeks and go nearly unnoticed. The world can appear distracted and pacified or it can seem as I have found such to be, vibrating faster and faster. That divergent tendency of Nature has come to a state of near Absolute Entropy, where ideas travel at the speed of the internet and no news can remain in the shadows for too long. Instead of growing wings or tails we have developed out inspirations, our talents, and while doing so we have prepared the world as a catalyst for a radical new reality to emerge.
Perhaps most important are the underlaying concepts that lead One to considering these possibilities, but since we are here in my cozy nook of expression we can parlay from the specifics. The heart of all I could ever share is that we are Nature, that we are each the culmination of all creation as both source and subject. We are so unique and special, we are the workers of a singularity that is discovering It's Self. The current that runs through all these ideas is that of inner or self-evident truth, the only way the Absolute can be reached, through the portal of One's own consciousness.
So Nature's design is of evolution, and in this sense of things we can find a few obstacles, or what can be more rightly called opportunities, that lay between the current state of the world and the potential of which the highest vibration existence is maintained. We speak of sustainability, of ecological compassion, we talk of sharing wealth and our right to have freedom, prosperity, and peace, while we in most cases go as far as damning the potential catalyst of such. We are best to recognize what good can come of our difficulties, of what may at first seem to be defects, for it is through such we bring about the change that provides growth.
The unconscious state of the ego, our fear of lack, loss, or death, holds within a mustard seed of luminance, of brilliant revelation. All of Nature resolves, even when this means a returning to the source, as a tree becomes dirt to foster nutrients for the furthering of life. No thing becomes nothing, all is in a cycle of which the only thing that escapes, is that which transcends the need for assimilation.
Trust is found through the constant questioning of reality, or the trust of which there is an ever present peace regardless of emotional state. When we fear we are feeling the possibility, we are grasping ahold of how vast the unknown is, and yet we are missing the keystone, the one bit that makes it all shift into a state of unity and fulfillment. This keystone cannot simply be described, handed off as a torch after a short run around the track, we must each build the arch of comprehension, discover our position in existence, if we are to know how the keystone can hold it all together.
By the way of one sentence I can say that in my experience the keystone of all is within the contemplation of Nature through the act of relation. That the ego can be brought into a higher vibration, one where all the qualities we know so well of such can inspire rapture, acceptance, willingness, this is the challenge we now face. Through this redefinition, this recapturing of a quality inherent to the body and mind, we bring forth an ascension of spirit.
The world is as a ball of clay, perhaps disfigured and in need of great attention to be reworked, yet still the raw material of bringing about a spectacular shift in what we know as life. The hardware is all right, perfect as only God can lend, yet the program is outdated, ready for an upgrade. We are the programmers, and if we are to traverse this time of which our awareness rests we must choose to consciously abstract the highest potentials and mold both the inner and outer worlds to reflect such truth. We have the power of choice, and if we look around for just a moment, perhaps we can see evidence that we are ready to take the reigns of creation.
Through the alchemy of the spirit, by way of reformatting the design of mind, we change how we interact, what we create, and therefore the content of this miraculous planet and space. No matter how deeply engrained an individual is with a system of opposition, a resistance to becoming One's highest state, it only takes one moment for all this to resolve. We ascend one by one, gathering each our own point of reference of the same picture, a masterpiece that lay just below the dust of our past.

The current adaptation we are discovering is a new program of Nature, one where we do not need an obstacle to bring about progress. The mind is our greatest gift to our Self, a tool of which energy can be shifted from one state to another. Through mastering our fear and apprehending an unbreakable trust Nature reaches completion and a new story begins.

So where do we find trust? How can we see beauty when our lives are filled with oppression, superficial conditions that seem to demand to dictate our lives? This can only be answered for each our own Being, as this is what I have found and can only but consider that another way is possible. Then again each breath is an opportunity to find this trust, to feel the perfection of creation, to realize the epiphany of "I Am." For if in this moment something is then such must be, for all that has come before has created this moment and all that is enables the future to hold the potential It does.
We have advanced in a rather short time considering the estimated time it takes for one species to diverge into two or more species. Our ages of discovery, technology and understanding, have come about in shorter and short spans of time. It is said that we can see the entire change of how society operates in one lifetime now, that the movement of change is electrified. Only one hundred years ago science could not comprehend the medical advances we now have, the more advanced we become, the more we learn, and this process seems to fold in on It's Self, growing exponentially while expanding inwards.

There is no void in creation, for the manifest is OF the void, the space of God's body has been filled. Such a space is of endless depth, and to fathom such a system of perpetual creativity all we need is a seed, to consider the world by relating to the birth of new life. We are bursting forth from the soil, realizing we hold all the resources we need to manifest a heaven on Earth. yet no matter what we imagine, no matter how we dream the world may become, our expectation will always be exceeded. This is a wonderful quality of our creation, that we chose not to know so that we may always have a grand and new world in each moment to discover. This is how perfect life is, how incredible this ascension process is. We need not wait another moment to harness the potential.
The rest of the world may need to catch up with you, evolved as you have become, so again, remember to be patient. Be compassionate without condition, be grateful, and make art out of your every breath. We rise up, into power, into peace, into a higher vibration, we ascend into the world we chose to create. May we all share this experience together, as one family, one tribe, One singularity that is Love.

Blessed Be,
Nathan
