 Hello everybody. Welcome to part five of the Hathor Material. I'm really enjoying this book. I hope you guys are too and I still have not listened to Tom Kenyon CDs that came with the books. If you've listened to them, let me know down in the comments section below what you think of these CDs. And last week we spoke about something interesting, which was that the idea of the human physical body has to be at a certain level of physical fitness in order to handle the high vibration that's coming into the body, which absolutely makes sense to me because that's what we're doing in yoga too. We're bringing the body to peak physical fitness to be able to hold the vibration, which again is common sense. And there is another book by Gopi Krishna, which where he also speaks about this. So later on, I am going to go deeper into the exploration of physical fitness and spiritual enlightenment. But for today, we're starting with chapter seven, which is stabilizing in chaos. Once again, if you have missed parts one through four, they will be down in the description box below. All right. Chapter seven is stabilizing in chaos. Your earth is passing through a monumental and historic time, a time in which energies are fluctuating at rates here to for never experienced by humanity. This has to do with the passage to a new vibration. And as earth moves from the old into the new, she is moving from an old way of organizing herself into a new way of organizing herself. And this is what's also spoken about in the law of one. For those of you who are familiar with the law of one, they speak about how planet earth is third density. And soon planet earth will be ascending to fourth density. Now, the only thing, the only difference is a third density where a planet of polarity, whereas we go into fourth density, we're either going positive or negative. And so that's why there's such a battle right now on the earth. It's which path is earth going to go? Is earth going to go positive for the light or negative for the dark? It's going to ascend. We just don't know which path it's going to ascend to yet. Earth is a conscious living being. And all human beings must respond to the fluctuation that is occurring as the earth moves upward in her own evolution. You are riding upon earth's evolutionary thrust upward, so to speak, and you have chosen to be here at this time so that you could experience these unprecedented changes. Many of these changes are chaotic in nature and especially challenging to your emotional body. Consequently, many of you are experiencing greater emotional volatility at the surface of awareness than ever before. This is likely to continue for some time as earth moves through this transition phase of chaos into a new order. And I don't like the word new order that they used here, but I think they know what we would, we know what they mean. They're talking about the positive, right? We're either going into the new world order or we're going into new earth. Whenever any system moves from one level of order to a higher level, there is a period of chaos in which perturbation or disturbances are on the increase. Friction, friction. We speak about friction a lot on this channel. Friction is necessary. Again, if you have a match, a match has everything in it to light itself, although it can't light itself unless it runs up against the match book, which is the friction the light needs to ignite itself. Without the disturbances, without the chaos, there wouldn't be that friction needed to evolve into a sin. This is now occurring on your planet so that all levels, for example, atomic, molecular, biological, geographical, social, economic, etc., are in states of flux or change. Of course, your own inner reality is affected too, especially your own emotional responses to people and things around you. There are many ways to move into a greater mastery of your emotions during these chaotic times, and we would share with you one particular approach or value. We view you as we mentioned previously as multidimensional energy systems. Therefore, what we would share with you is a method to help you deal with your own energy in such a way that your emotional body becomes more stable through this period of tremendous transition. As described earlier, this method involves moving awareness into your product tube, the central column that extends from above your head through the central part of the body down into the earth. If, for example, you find yourself in a difficult situation emotionally, then the immediate shift of your awareness into the product tube will greatly help. This shift allows Prana to move the product tube more freely, changing your breath in a way that allows a greater movement or life force. You will find the emotional body becoming more stable and from a place of emotional centeredness. You will be able to make better choices for yourself in those difficult moments. Now, we would like to take you through a small series of explorations, as we have done previously, to increase your self-mastery, self-control, and understanding. Exploration number three. Imagine a tube of light, an energy conduit, extending down through the center of your body all the way to the center of the earth. In your imagination, allow that tube of light to move upward above your head as far into space as is appropriate for you at this time. Some of you will experience your product tube going only a short distance above your head and some of you may experience it going further into space. How far it goes above your head does not matter. The distance will be appropriate for you at this time. With this accomplished, move your awareness into your heart center and breathe with your awareness focused on your heart chakra. As you focus on your heart, imagine and sense celestial energies coming down from above and terrestrial energies coming up from the earth below so that these two meet in your heart. Let these two energies flow into your heart chakra from above and from below, feeding the heart continuously in a combined stream, whether you are inhaling or exhaling, whether you are pausing your breath or not. Just experience the continual flow of prana moving downward and upward. The goal of this exercise is to get a clearer sense of this flow of prana flowing into your heart chakra from both the earth and the sky. This takes a few minutes to get a very clear sense of this flow of prana. This is the first part of the exercise and they do have a diagram here, a diagram, balancing emotional energies by connecting heaven to earth through the pranic tube. This allows the individual to self-ground through emotional states to make emotional states easier to manage. You guys can see that. The second part of this exercise adds an additional step. With your awareness in your heart chakra and with the flow of prana coming down from above and up from the earth simultaneously, allow your awareness to be on your breath. Now please notice when you inhale and then when you exhale and also when you pause in between breaths. As you become aware of your breath, also be aware of the flow of prana moving downward into your heart center as well as upward into your heart center, whether you are breathing or pausing. Notice that the pranic flow is continuous. While experiencing the continuous flow of prana into your heart chakra, again become attuned to the rhythm of your inhalation and your exhalation so that you have a sense of two separate flows. Notice the flow of your breath which pauses between both the inhales and the exhales and the flow of prana through the pranic tube which is continuous and does not pause with the breaths. Do this for a few minutes getting a clear sense of the rhythm of the breath and also a clear sense of the continuous flow of prana through the pranic tube into your heart chakra. After you have moved through this phase of exploration, get a clear sense of the continual flow of prana into your heart chakra from above and below while simultaneously noticing your breath. Observe that you are experiencing or sensing two vital activities the rhythm of your breath for one and the continuous flow of prana through your pranic tube for another. This achievement empowers you to add the third portion of the exercise which is used which uses the continual flow of prana while you go through the three different breathing patterns. One is a very rapid breathing pattern, one is a very shallow breathing pattern and the third merely requires holding the breath. Perhaps you didn't know it but these are the three primary breathing patterns that the breath goes through as you transit through different emotions. As you master holding a continuous flow of prana so that it is unaffected by the three different breathing patterns, you will be moving towards greater emotional stability. Now bring prana down from above your head into your heart chakra and then fill up from the earth into your heart chakra as you breathe very fast breaths. It's called kumbhaka breathing in yoga, very fast rapid breaths. Then take slow breaths as you bring down from above your head into your heart chakra and then up from the earth into your heart chakra. Then hold your breath as you bring prana down from above your head into your heart chakra and then up from the earth into your heart chakra. Get a clear sense of continuous flow of prana regardless of which phase your breathing is in either fast slow or holding your breath. Now resume normal breathing. Again take a minute or two to practice these three breath phases. As you work with this exercise you will discover that prana can freely flow regardless of what breathing pattern you are in. This will allow you to become better stabilized regardless of the breathing pattern or emotional pattern in which you find yourself. These three steps are your training ground for handling unexpected emergencies and emotional chaotic circumstances wherever they may occur. When you can feel comfortable with these three phases you can add one more critical step. This next portion of the exploration will show you how to shift your focus into the prana tube and ground it into the earth at a moment's notice. Move your awareness into the prana tube of your body and with your imagination extend the tube all the way down into the center of the earth. With the sense that your prana tube is anchored into the center of the earth allow the celestial prana above your head to move downward into your heart chakra and simultaneously allow terrestrial prana to move upward from the earth into your heart chakra. There is nothing else you need to do. You do not make it happen you simply allow it to happen. The prana immediately flows according to your intention. Your intention is what is critical here. The intention of holding the prana tube anchored in the core of the earth and allowing the earth energies to move up into your heart chakra simultaneously as the celestial energies move down into your heart center stabilizes your emotions. Again we recommend practicing this for a minute or two at a time. Chapter 8 The Sacred Elements We view the earth very differently than most humans in western culture. Our view is closer to that of the ancients and your indigenous people. From our understanding you are part of the mystery the all that is it is central to everything. The force and intelligence of creation moves through and is present in the smallest particle of matter. From this perspective the entire physical universe is sacred space. It is a hollowed temple. Many people are presently cut off from or have disconnected themselves from an awareness of earth as a sacred space and even more so from awareness of a classical four sacred elements of antiquity. Accessing subtle realms of consciousness allows you to enter the archetypal dominion in which the sacredness of matter the earth and the four sacred elements become self-apparent. This archetypal domain to which we refer is not the same as described by your Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. Rather our archetypal reference denotes a primordial force that extends through what we call the underworld of matter. This is analogues to the sub quantum realm a theoretical place where consciousness continually recreates matter. The four sacred elements are part of this ever continuing process. In our world we have sounds for each of these four sacred elements. El is earth, Ca is fire, Lim is water and Alm is both air and space. These four constitute a vibrational continuum. It is possible to chant the sounds of these elements and enter the archetypal realms in which they exist. It is as if these sounds open the doors of perception and allow you to move into a resonant field of consciousness. The archetypal realm the primordial force the underworld of matter where the elements are alive. Indeed entering to a realm and staying there for a while enables you to shift consciousness and perception in such a way that you sense the profanity of physical world and also its place within the continuum of consciousness. This is a very powerful practice. Basically you chant the mantra El Ca Li Alm. No less than four times and always in groups of four. So you would chant it four times at least. Then you might chant it 16 times and so forth. It is very powerful practice and we often encourage the chant be done 256 times or four to the fourth power. This gives your consciousness time to settle in to and to shift through its various states so it can enter the archetypal realm of elements there you perceive directly the aliveness and the continuum of consciousness that expresses itself through the earth plane. It is very powerful to practice this chant outdoors where you can sense the elements directly. It is also a powerful practice to place your awareness within your chronic tube the middle column Shishubna of your spine that extends down to the middle of your body by holding your awareness in that chronic tube and chanting the sounds of the elements. You can actually cause the prime that moves within the tube to become rare filled to become enlivened by the sounds and to activate an awakening of the elements within your own body. It is something that must be experienced directly rather than talked about. Another thing to understand about this chant is that the material from the unconscious very often begins to rise up becoming consciousness often settles into a very deep and profound state when doing the chant for extended periods of time. You can experience every state of consciousness every state of awareness from absolute boredom and fatigue to high states of ecstasy and bliss including awareness of your own demons your own negative emotional material all of this can be activated as you chant this chant. So it is important to understand that whatever arises while you were chanting is part of the clearing. Yes we've been talking about that especially with the 30 day challenge that a lot of people when they're doing the 15 minute all meditation things were coming up that's part of it part of the clearing it's part of it and I'm actually going to start tomorrow doing the Kali om the El Kali Om chant 256 times. I'm going to do it after my practice. Let's see right let's see what happens by chanting a chant El Kali Om you are acknowledging a sacredness of elements acknowledging a continuum of consciousness from the source through its various subtle levels all the way into the earth itself and you are affirming and acknowledging the earth is sacred your body is sacred and your place in a continuum of consciousness and the all that is as sacred. It has been said that the human body is the temple of God and we agree that your body is a sacred temple for it is the space in which the four sacred elements of earth fire water air space often offer themselves to you and service yes your body is the shakti the expression of the soul we see earth as a sacred space an out picture of the sacred elements of the archetypal realm of consciousness itself we see earth as a being as close to the source as any other realm of existence for the continuum of consciousness and matter is one whole the law of one is it possible to be in deep communion with the divine to feel completely at home and consciousness and still be embodied it is not necessary to leave the earth in order to go home for home is a state of consciousness a state of connectedness generated from within yourself I mean even Yahshua said that right behold the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of hell is inside of you we see dangerous situations upon the earth at this time especially in high technological development developed countries the situation is the separate from nature in the elements modern culture has isolated itself and insulated itself from the natural elements the natural world western society has taken the biblical inscription to have dominion over nature to irresponsible heights humanity is oppressing nature humankind in the modern world is not only oppressing nature in the elements but is seriously separated from them as a result has lost much of its connection to the higher continuum of consciousness when you are in nature when you have a relationship to the elements you are closer to the continuum of consciousness that leads to the archetypal realm and from there it is just one step into the all that is whether the culture of the modern world will wake into this and reverse its position is unclear that's what's scary we don't know whether we're going dark or light but as far as your individual consciousness is concerned you could always form a relationship with the elements you can form the linkage from your own awareness into the archetypal realm of the elements many indigenous people can do this we recommend that you frequently enter nature and spend time with the natural elements for they are the out picturing of the archetypal patterns don't insulate yourself from the elements embrace them appreciate them allow your awareness and consciousness to become attuned to the four sacred elements chant the name of the elements in the state of reverence and appreciation and an inner world will open up to you far beyond your imagination as you enter this archetypal world of elements you will find a place where you are more deeply connected to the natural world around you and you will see the world with new eyes chapter nine the fulcrum point a fulcrum is the balance point of a seesaw or a teeter top totter often seen in parks two children sit at the opposite ends of a narrow board that is supported in the center the fulcrum the children take turns pushing up and off the ground forcing the other end of the seesaw and the child to move down towards the ground the fulcrum point is the point at which the seesaw board pivots as long as there is movement there is a force of polarities up and down movement on the fulcrum point this is a beautiful metaphor for consciousness itself since as the consciousness moves into duality from its still point of non-duality opposite forces come into play as with the seesaw in your world of polarity when something moves up something else must move down and so on in your current life as a human being on this planet you experience a rapid acceleration of many multi-dimensional forces physical mental emotional cultural social spiritual global and many of these are happening simultaneously the fulcrum point for you as a human being is where these multi-dimensional forces interconnect in the present moment if you've ever sat on a seesaw you know that there is a possibility of a balance point in which the opposite ends of the seesaw are parallel to the ground and there is no movement the movement is a perfect balance of dualities the fulcrum point is the neutral state however when the dualities begin to move for example when one end moves up while the other end moves down the fulcrum point experiences an increase of activity and friction you as a human being experience that friction as an increase of pressure through your emotional or feeling nature so that as events intensify your feelings also intensify in the present moment the point around you which these feelings intensify is your fulcrum point this is the initiatory portal this is a doorway to your soul's accelerated evolution and ascended awareness everybody who's doing the shadow work challenge with exercise and everything is I think really starting to learn the value in the friction right how do you deal with your experience is your choice as the individual yet if you fail to see your life in this planet as a sacred space fail to see this life as an inventory process then you may go into blame discounting or avoidance escapism there are many ways to avoid the present moments of your life however if you align with the understanding of the events and experiences of your life are your initiatory process then you will hold sacred whatever is is occurring even when it's difficult the initiatory process is essentially strewn with difficulties test and trials for this is how the soul grows mastery over a particular level our dominion of self brings mastery to the soul fundamentally you are working through the emotional mental and spiritual contents of your own consciousness and this experience through the events of your life specifically the thoughts feelings and emotion that these events trigger within you if you honor your fulcrum point in the present moment as a focal point of your life then you were prepared to move into a different relationship with your experience honor your experience and feeling responses so they are the meaning context and purpose of your life from our understanding there is another element that needs to be added and that is the mastery of your energy you may have noticed that when your emotional reactions are strong or when things occur that are overwhelming you are less able to deal efficiently with them less able to cope and make the right choices for yourself and less able to use that opportunity as fuel for transformation of your own consciousness when people enter into moments of intense overwhelm thus slipping into unconsciousness they often attempt to avoid awareness of the present moment the fulcrum point of their experience by drift by drifting sleeping overworking or avoiding the whole thing in some other way such as drug food or alcohol for some of you even meditation can be subtle form of avoidance absolutely we're going to talk about that eventually you should only be meditating for like 15 minutes anything over 15 minutes is is borderline into avoidance and escapism and call psychosis so we are going to be speaking about that in a future episode the tools that we share in this material are meant to help you master your energy so that when you enter into the fulcrum or pivotal experience and the intensity of the moment increases you have the energy mastery to align yourself positively you will have both the awareness of what is happening and the mastery of your energy to make correct choices for yourself in that moment these two aspects together create a powerful vortex that allows you to float quickly into higher levels of consciousness both must be in place however you must understand appreciate and honor your life experience then you must use your feeling responses in the initiatory process to achieve the energy mastery that stabilizes and allows you to take advantage of these growth opportunities it is ironic and paradoxal that consciousness can create either a heaven or a hell around the same event let me read that again it is ironic and paradoxal that consciousness can create either a heaven or a hell around the same event the event didn't change your perception is what changes your consciousness the reactions that you experience in response to different events actually may have very little to do with the events themselves this is the initiatory awareness understanding of whatever occurs you are creating your own feelings and emotional responses and only you are responsible for them their emotional states you tend to experience as hellish a kind of purgatory where you are tormented by the demons of your own attachments as well as fear pain anger and sadness and their emotional states where you feel content-centered loved and fulfilled simply recognize that these two polar states heaven and hell are within you within your own consciousness within your own being they are not located physically in space anywhere they are within you they are polar opposites that work and move and pulsate from one to another the fulcrum point of your life experience is that edge on which they teeter as you acquire this understanding and master your energy flow you will be better able to balance the polarities within yourself taking the metaphor of the fowl from point even deeper we would say that events themselves are essentially empty they are triggers however that generate responses from within you or your consciousness it's correct so something is either bad or good a bad or good situation depending on how you react to it it's bad or good karma is just karma it's just action or reaction it's empty you're the one that puts the label on it as being bad or good by your conscious emotions and feelings your triggers so what they're saying is true the event itself is empty that's why the story doesn't matter it doesn't matter why you feel a certain way because that that event is empty how you feel and how you reacted is what matters everything's within as you go through the initiatory process of your life you will have feelings or emotional responses to innumerable and often challenging things this is your nature as a human but if you experience these emotional feeling responses with awareness and self-compassion looking lovingly within yourself so to speak you will find the polarities within your own being that are creating your suffering these polarities are ruled by your beliefs and choices from the deepest levels of your own consciousness the purpose and nature of initiation is to provide a mirror to reflect back to the soul so that it can clearly see and understand the choices it has made the initiatory process of your life that you are living today and the people in this situation to encounter are all holding a mirror for you consequently when you experience something difficult if you do not look at what you are feeling in response to the event you will miss a tremendous opening of greater awareness and clarity this is the power of the fulcrum point it is a sacred moment every moment of your experience is sacred and when you find yourself in situations that are difficult and challenging know that you have entered another initiatory opportunity this makes it a time for rejoicing a time for awareness clarity and self-compassion as you master the tools that we have given and will continue to give your energy body will align in such a way that you will be able to take advantage of these initiatory experiences in a constructive and creative manner we would now like to share a story a legend and we have in our own cultural concerning one human living in an earlier historical period you call ancient Egypt in a way this story symbolizes the current human experience on earth there was an initiate who came to the temple of Hathor the fertility goddess of love and joy desperately wanting to experience these states of being but he wanted to enter the initial process of the highest level without going to the lower temples of the understanding each time the hopeful initiate will come to the Hathor temple of love and joy he would be sent away with a commandment you are not ready you must enter the underworld this person being very crafty used various disguises to present himself as a woman a crippled man a beggar and even a sage yet he was still the same person and was set away still he returned time and time again to the temple temple of Hathor wanting and seeking initiation into the mysteries but without the willingness to go to the lower temples first every time he appeared in disguise he was sent back to the underworld which he refused to enter to begin the initiation process which would have eventually earned him his heart's desire the point of this tale is that you cannot bypass your own underworld let me read that again you cannot bypass your own underworld you must go down into the catacombs of your own unconsciousness before seeking the higher spiritual mysteries you see the higher you go into consciousness the deeper you must delve into remain imbalanced if you go too high in consciousness without balancing your hidden depths including your own unconsciousness then you are unbalanced and potentially dangerous why because then you are acting without awareness of the crucial parts of yourself that are in your own underworld these aspects that are not involved such as your anger your hatred your jealousy your rage your fantasies even your death wishes these things that you try to keep out of awareness are part of your human nature and your task of the human being is to integrate and to heal all levels of your experience in this dimension one of the levels of this experience of life on earth with much to be healed has to do with what you call darkness which we call unawareness the darkness is unawareness the task of evolution as we see it is to expand awareness so that it is all encompassing and becomes incorporated into all of your beingness the process the circumstances and events that are all occurring on your planet at this time are of such an intense nature that they are activators for feelings and belief that live in your underworld the fulcrum point of experience the intimacy of the moment by moment experience of life is the initially portal allowing you to move into awareness and understanding of the depths of yourself never doubt that your nature is profoundly capable of this task for your consciousness includes the light the celestial realms of your own being and the dark demonic worlds of your own being as well as all the realms in between these two extreme polarities to hold these two polarities and compassion consciousness and love is to balance them and to heal your own darkness through both the power and the light of your awareness this is the task of evolution as we see it for this level and your dimension
