Haven't written for a while .....

Sometimes there is wisdom in Silence.
Sometimes there is wisdom in knowing when and what to speak.
Sometimes there is wisdom in speaking whatever.

And sometimes there is wisdom in not knowing.
Not knowing what is happening.
Not knowing which word to speak or withold.
Not knowing anything, really.

Those of you who make and bottle beer
may have had this experience; -
some bottles easily and readily make CO2 -
others don't.
The alchemical yeasting process has its own
wisdom.

Tending a garden shows me that
two or three similar plants next door to each other
often have very different "outcomes."

The Peak Experience happens -
"How did I do that?"
"How can I repeat that?"
(like learning to play a piece of music -
we NEED to know, so as to "play it right.")
Sometimes,
despite all the hype on the web,
there is no way of either
experiencing that wonder again,
or knowing HOW we did it.

If we are speeding towards Zero Point
(a strange zero intensely filled with energetic possibility,)
then we are going to find our bodies,
our experiences and probably our emotions
involved in a kind of
multidimensional re-vamping -
not always comfortable
here on Earth.

This process is teaching me
a relentless lesson in non-attachment
combined with learning how to live
real deep passion and desire.
I'm learning, all too slowly,
how to observe and thus allow,
all the while
intensifying the vision.

The shaman's teaching is
to hold selective silence while
this is being done,
so as not to
"harm the workings."

I was taught the value of selective silence
by a very dear friend in Sweden
many years ago,
but I could not listen to her wisdom
then.
I thought I had to let out everything.

In the Kabbalah there is
a hidden sefirot, Da'ath
where we are set adrift amidst the chaos,
learning to swim and fly
where our guardian angels may not pass.

In this place of chaos and void
we are privileged to see and experience
that which we could never be part of
by clinging to the known worlds.

Now,
in this Da'ath of pre-birth,
it is as though
I have no other real choice
than to be discerning in speaking,
and knowing -
often because there is no 3D-thing to say,
but, more importantly, because
there are workings afoot
between Heaven and Earth of which
we are all now privileged to be a part,
and yet our fuller Selves have still
to be revealed.

Watch the space
and see the Cosmos
grow!

(And keep breathing!)
