Sound is the creative expression of energy as it moves from potential to form.

Sound actuates within us our creative motion seeking balance with All That Is.

Sound holds space for us to find release so that we can shift our awareness towards a deeper and stronger awareness of Balance.

Sound hums within the infinite and eternal motion of all Energy.

Our sense of Sound connects us to this motion.  Though our expectations of the physical experience of sound often limits our awareness and reception of Sound.

Sound connects us to the powerful flow of All That Is.

To hear, you listen not just with ears but with heart and soul, receiving the energetic waves pulsing within the flow of All That Is.

Sound is everywhere, infinitely and eternally available through your Center of BE-ing.  Listen.

In Joy!

The annual question from Edge.org is:  How has the Internet changed the way You think?  And though the editors there specifically discussed You vs. We in the question and came down on the side of You, I have asked the We question in the Akashic Records.  Here’s is today’s reply:

As to your question, we would turn it around and ask: How has humanity changed the Internet?  Because the shift and release, also known as change, that is the Internet and the experience of the Internet is actually an interactive, dynamic system of Knowing that is changing both the Internet and all of us.  The Internet as a connected computer system creates a systemic interaction of Knowing which affects and shifts all.  Knowing is being exchanged at incredible rates approaching the capacity of the brain for the first time in this current manifestation of Earth.  The Internet shifts with each use just as each person shifts with each individual use.

The primary characteristic of this shift is that humanity is increasing our capacity to connect with Knowing, rather than being primarily focused on the static need to know.

While this need to know may be the initial motivation, over time the shift will be move motivation toward Knowing.

Knowing is the awareness generated at the point of balance between Spiritual, Physical and Universal Life Force at your Center of BE-ing.  Knowing is an intrinsic characteristic of Energy.

In a static linear sense, use of the Internet is encouraging a dynamic, non-physical view of the world.

The Internet is the platform for moving the hologram into dynamic, energetic vision — away from the boundaries of linear chronology.

The Internet is the engine of non-locality, helping us to expand the capacity of our minds and move into an interconnected dynamic motion within the everyday experience of life.

Basically, the Internet is shifting us from static to dynamic, from fixed to non-local, from physical only to growing levels of awareness of our powerful balance between Spiritual, Physical and the divine animation of All That Is.

Ultimately, through the Internet, we are helping ourselves to step beyond the limits of today into claiming ourselves as creative BE-ings capable of divine Knowing within the infinite and eternal of All That Is.

We are complete.

My special tree stands at the crest of a hill surrounded by beautiful green grass and many other rise and falls of other rolling hills.  The grass is alive with wonder and the world around my tree glimmers with hope, and dreams, and the joy of life lived.

I see my tree from afar and have trouble deciding exactly what kind of tree she is.  I think because she is, in different moments, different types.  Mostly she seems like a maple/aspen/ginko if only because these are my favorites.

As I move closer, she also seems to shimmer like a rainbow stretched across a pond.  She vibrates with love and the whisper of her leaves and branches as they move in the breeze lifts my soul into the sun that surrounds us.

I see my tree when I want and need her presence.  She blooms within and without me offering her shade and her strength.

She takes me as I am, offering her trunk as support and her roots as ground for mine.  Her crown encourages me to stand up and feel with her the sun and stars.

With her and by her, I feel the earth and the heaven and as I breathe in and breathe out I feel my balance within, a balance with her, my special tree, and with the gentle flow of All That Is.

In Joy!

Light, as we tend to think of it, generally is that which shines and illuminates.

At the Soul level, Light is the difference between what is Known and what is Unknown.  It is no mistake that the unknown is characterized as dark, chaotic, empty like the void is thought to be.

Light is Knowing, present to awareness, present to the infinite and eternal flow of All That Is.

Light is also our perspective of that which we are willing to give attention and awareness.

Light illuminates the edges of our awareness, beckoning us to move beyond whatever holds us from full view like our expectations, doubts, fears, judgments, and blame.

Light is awareness of presence appearing as a holder until we can clarify within the object of our attention.

What will you illuminate?

Where does your Light point you?

Within the Light, what is ready to step from your Unknown to your Known?

In Joy!

Fear can guide you to deeper understanding when you allow yourself to listen to Fear’s message.

Fear is a misconception about Truth which can become frozen within.

Fear holds within seeds for release.

Fear holds within you strands of panic and pain.

Fear also holds your truth.

This is the message that awaits you.

The challenge is allowing the message not to be overcome by the surrounding panic and pain.

Pain at its core is a subversion of truth.

Physical pain is held within the body when the body is asked to bear what it should not be required to bear.

Emotional pain arises in the midst of any pain when the heart witnesses what should not be required because it goes against individual truth.

Spiritual Pain arises when the Physical and Spiritual natures are out of balance between them and with Universal Life Force.

Fear thus arises from the occurrence of pain, the knowing and memory of pain, and the deep seated desire to avoid pain.

People though often mistake the way in which to deal with fear and pain as either avoidance or denial.  If x happens when y happens, I will now always avoid x and y.  In the initial moments this may be a very reasonable coping strategy, but over time x and y become frozen within you as arrested potential wanting to become form, festering like a sore one would rather, and usually does, ignore.

Frozen energy will push for release and niggle at the edges of your awareness until you have the courage to listen.

The response to fear is not avoidance or denial, but a gentle attention to fear through these questions:

What will allow me to release the frozen energy within, allowing it to complete its journey of potential to form to potential?

What is my fear’s message for me today?

Listen to the message of fear to find your way through.

Listen to fear’s message to find release from fear’s pain.

Listen to the message to find balance and truth.

In Witness with gentle attention,

Cheryl

PS — As someone who has dealt with crippling amounts of fear built up through too many events no one should bear, I do not speak of fear lightly, like it is something easy to put aside or to deal with simply.  Fear can overwhelm you making it difficult to live life at all.  Like I discuss above, eventually, the way beyond is through, by focusing on the message.  But don’t confuse listening to the message as a requirement to relive the pain.  Sometimes this is necessary, but not always.  And when it is too much to bear alone, find help, find support, someone who will stand witness with you to your message.

Memory and Knowing are inherent aspects of energy.

Memory is about Observation:

The intimate, integrated, and dynamic system of observer and observed.

Intimate because observation and memory are personal experiences.

Integrated because Memory is an aspect of the dynamic system of energy we all exist within.  A system that transcends the capabilities of individual parts.

Dynamic because from the point of view of the Soul Point and All That Is, our physical world is integrated within a greater whole that is in constant eternal and infinite motion.

A system in which the observer and observed engage in an eternal and infinite dance in which each partner in each moment shifts between follow and lead, observer and observed.

Divine Source is the ultimate observer.

Where we, as energy, are able to observe evidence of this universal system of observation through all the ways we remember in our bodies, in our minds, and in our hearts.

How are you observed?  What do you observe?

Let go of your fixed platform and join the dance!

In Joy!

As I begin to receive this new year of 2010, I want to take time to say thank you to the amazing gifts of 2009.  Gifts which I want to bring forward, gifts which support who I am and will become in 2010.

1.         Thanks to the support of my wonderful husband and daughter, I finished writing my book and published it, so far with great success.  The culmination of a 6-7 year process which could merit its own book!  Thank you!

2.         As of October 2009, I have now lived a full five decades and counting.  When I was a smart-alecky nine year old, I learned about decades and promptly began teasing my mother about how many decades old she was — she had just turned three.  When I hit two, she began returning the favor.

3.         All the moments spent with my daughter.  As she is a junior in high school, I acknowledge that these moments are numbered.

4.         Beautiful Blue Bob the Beta (fish) who appeared seemingly, from nowhere, in the basement in a fully functioning tank.  This is actually a backend way of saying that my husband is an amazing person who practices compassion with the abandoned Betas at Petco.

5.         Angel moments too numerous to count.  For me, an Angel moment is a wisp of time in which someone does or says something to me with the sole intent of providing me love and support.  Lots of Angels out there sending me love.  Wow!

6.         Reconnecting with “lost” friends in 2009 provided a series of wonderful events which I plan to continue in 2010.

7.         Limits, boundaries, responsibilities.  I can probably sum up all my 2009 lessons learned into one very potent question:  “What is my responsibility?”  Being a person who thinks she has to do IT ALL perfectly, this one question has been a powerful reminder to me.  I had lots of opportunities for this one especially late in the year.  I hung a card with this question by my bed to remind myself each night before bed.  I think the card will stay put for 2010.

8.         Hikes and beach walks.  I have been trying to think of my favorite this past year.  I loved my birthday hike in Stub Stewart State Park.  I also enjoyed our last visit to Cannon Beach which included the traditional beach walk, bagel sandwich and visit to the glassblowing shop.  Maybe the best frame is to say how invigorating it is to live in a place like Oregon where mountain and sea are equally accessible and equally beautiful.

9.         Well, I gotta say it:  I am thankful that my clothes are literally getting too big!  A bit of a pain when trying to get dressed up, but on the bright side, lots of opportunity for new acquisition in 2010.

10.       While I am in this category:  I love my new haircut.  My mom, who was always after me to get my long hair styled, would be very proud — her daughter finally has a Do.

11.       The new take-home bottle at SakeOne.  This past year we became acquainted with the sake brewery located in Forest Grove, OR and 30 minutes from our house.  My favorite is the Nama Sake, the organic elixir still in its fresh, raw state, and now available direct from the tab to the take-home bottle.  The only way to get it fresher is to be offered a sip by the Toji Master (sake master) direct from the brewing vat.  Talk about Manna from heaven!

12.       Epiphanettes: seemingly minor flashes of inspiration and knowing which turn out to be not so minor after all.  Many seeds of inspiration lovingly planted in 2009, awaiting nurturing and blooming in 2010.  I know that I may be insufferable sometimes, but I have really worked on following the knowing of my heart and the truth of my soul.  I have willingly staked my claim, committed while the water was deeper than neck high, and decided that believing in myself and my family is my thing to do.  My purpose, my mission, my goal is the epiphanette of this moment:  I am my vision, I bring forward vision.  This ability is my contribution to my family and the world.

What are you thankful for from 2009?

In Joy!

What do you fear?

What makes you worry?

How are you stuck in the past?

How are you stuck in the future?

Blame is of the past.

Fear of tomorrow anchors you in a future that can never happen.

What are you ready to let go?

Or would you rather see only fear so that you are distracted from trying for your best and failing.

Look your fear in the eye.  Step into your fear.

Is you fear more worthy than you?

Is your life, your highest express, less than the possibility of your fear?

What happens if you decide to act regardless of your fear?

Have you considered that your life can be lived despite the presence of fear?

Sometimes releasing fear becomes an obstacle to your life.

Acknowledge fear AND live life.

Do not let fear stop you.  Take back your power, focus on You and in this moment live your life.

In love and light, we are complete.

In Joy!
