My passion is Egypt. Although I can speak with confidence on many subjects related to other cultures and healing modalities, I am forever finding connections and similarities to the ancient Egyptian mysteries, and the pantheon of the people of the Nile. It is this grand convergence that is enticing Bruce and me to co-facilitate a sacred pilgrimage to Egypt this spring. There, within the temples and monuments that eloquently express timeless truths that have somehow eluded most cultures of our time, we can directly experience her mysteries along with the essence of the “epi-genetic” possibilities of new science in action.

Epigenetics is the study of the molecular mechanisms by which environment controls gene activity, and is one of the most active arenas of current scientific research. The literal meaning of the word, epigenetics, is “control above genetics.” Research in this relatively new field shows us, according to Bruce, that “Genes are not destiny! Environmental influences, including nutrition, stress and emotions can modify those genes, without changing their basic blueprint. And those modifications can be passed on to future generations as surely as DNA blueprints are passed on via the Double Helix.”

In shaman-speak, I would say that we are informed at the cellular level by the field of intelligence that is the matrix within which all mater exists. I call it akasha. Wearing my Egyptian hat, I call it ka.

Why Egypt? Egypt is loud. Egypt is relevant. Nowhere on the planet have the ancients left such bold statements, built to last. The intention and purpose with which they imbued their monuments reverberates through time. When a person enters these sacred sites with an open heart and a presence of mind, they interact directly with the field that continues to inform the granite, or basalt, or sacred hieroglyphic images, or people, so that those who enter as seekers remember, and in so doing, are re-membered. As Bruce said on stage, “we all have receptors that relate to Egypt.”

Egypt connects us directly with the divine intelligence that is the field similar to what ancient Egyptians called the ka body. The ka is the subtle body commonly known as the etheric double. It is the collective soul and energetic connection with our ancestors, and it invigorates us with vital life force. It is the consciousness of the neteru, the deities of Egypt who are the archetypal divine principles that are woven into our very being, all the way into and surrounding our DNA.

Whereas Bruce speaks of The Field, I speak of Ka. We are saying the same thing, only now we each have more to say about our respective subjects. I’ m looking forward to taking him and our group to various temples, speaking of and doing ceremony, and then hearing his explanation of what just happened and what were the sciences involved in the creation and décor of these powerful places.

I’ve lost count of how many groups I’ve lead down the Nile. The one constant for all my participants, and for travelers and explorers throughout the ages who have been to Egypt, are those ‘feelings.” They have been described as some of the great mysteries of that land. The word “mystery,” works for me, and I would add to it “more research welcome.”

Day 15, Friday, May 9:

It is a feeling I carry around with me at the moment that I am totally invisible.
And out of the feeling follows a projection of making an effort to be seen.

~ The nature of the internet allows one to hide whilst being seen.
~ It feels like a double edged sword , like a false sense of achievement, og belonging yet
not truly belonging.

~ Aloness is the overriding emotion for me at this time ... aloness with a combination
of knowing that I can never be alone as i am part of all that is... yet the feeling that is 
experienced by "me " is one of total difference ..

~ I am soo different to everybody I know , there is beauty in difference yet also incredible longing
for kin emerges when living with the difference becomes too much to bear...

~ I am amazed with what ease some people swimmingly move through groups of people
being able to smoothly mingle their energy with that of the whole/group

~ Whilst i am constantly on the lookout for familiarity, something that strikes a cord 
deep within me where i see potential to meet a kin-energy..

~ I am amazed at my own fast "judgement" in a non-judgemental way ...aka I dont judge people to be right or wrong per se , just right or perceived wrong for me...  how ignorant am I really... hmmmm

~ I really usually feel my way around but this ends up with me either projecting a "larger" lifelike happy soul of the party ..whilst inside watching this other me crumbling at the sight of my own "false" projection

~ Yet there is no such thing as a "false" me, just another aspect of me... time to own up to that one too before i can let go ....  ah what it means to be authentic

Authenticity  -- the dance with the archetypes  


...hmmm Milliande

Contemplating Original ~ Originality ~ Origin

~ A pool of consciousness
~ emerging out of the pool of bandaged faces
~ unravelling the larger "me"
~ bound to the pool by an invisible thread
~ tickled by the feather of flight
~ fired by unknown
~ seen by the origin
~ watching my own originality emerging
~ watching myself contemplating
~ being aware of being aware

Continuing Contemplation of Movement of Self ....
 
So I am being asked ...

>>>>>>Do you actually prefer to be made to move? Or is there another choice?~
This is quite a trick question, by the way.
Cuts on either edge. And on the handle too, and even if left alone.<<<<<<

Do I prefer to be "made to move"

By anything other than "perceived me" ?

In essence movement can only occur on a timeline ...

If I want to move I need a reference point...

If I am all that is... and there is only one... then there is no movement possible..

If "All that is" wishes to experience itself then it needs to have a reference point ...something that is not "All that is", that it can compare itself too in order to experience itself..

So lets assume "individualized" humans are not aware of the Whole "Source", manifesting as something that is not aware of its totality , leaving "Source" to experience "lesser parts" of itself.

Within that manifestation of "me" is movement .. perceived movement from a to b...

Do I prefer to be "made to move" from a to b....

I wish to experience conscious movement, movement that arises as an action rather than a reaction..

I venture to say that I usually move as a reaction ... reaction to bodily or sensory input, react because of social conditioning, react out of fear, ....

So how do I recognise when a movement is caused by "action" .... Intuition ? Instinct?
But are they not based on prior experience too...

Pondering

I am intriqued to observe how I eat too...

I love eating different kinds of foods from my plate, prepare them in a certain manner -- like a little potato, add a carrot and and dip in into sauce before taking it into the mouth... then taste BUT now I watch what happens...
~my conscious awareness wanders from the bite just savoured for merely a second ..to pay attention to the preparation of the next spoonful....
~But I am still eating the first one, only now with much less attention, much less conscious tasting of what I am actually trying to savour...

~~ For me this is greed, this is ego setting in and already running away from the HERE AND NOW ..to the next moment in time,
I have often heard that one has to eat slowly to digest properly etc... but it has not occurred to me until now that to eat slowly is actually the real food blessing
~ to pay attention to what nurtures me and in what way.. how it tastes, what textures it offers me and how it lingers on my tastebuds....

But rushing times, things to do ,places to go take me away from the simple awareness of being aware what is in my mouth...

So I try it... only to catch myself lots and lots of times getting carried away in a conversation, my attention wondering off and my mouthfuls dissappearing into a world of their own...

~~ I am really enjoying watching my own limitations... watching myself develop awareness and loosing it over and over again..

With one simple difference -- I am now aware that I am actually loosing awareness and can bring myself back to center.. It feels like a little bit of a dance .. Two steps forward one steps back -- twist and turn ...
Dancing with Ms Awareness .. giggle
