THE TIDE OF YOUR LIFE AND YOUR DEATH

WHO AM I?

     I am the tide of your life. I am the powerful physical and metaphysical force by which you are carried.

     Ocean Tides are one of the major forces in all the world because water covers 71% of our Earth’s surface. Tidal motion and interaction with heat from the Sun during the day and cool of night create weather. Dance of Sun, Moon and Earth cause seasons and climate and tides.

The tide of your life creates the emotional weather of your soul.  Weather whips the tide up in the outer world and your emotional weather – the storms in your inner life.

     The Moon, you and I are secret lovers. I am totally attracted to her and so is your chronobiology. The Full Moon is the drumbeat for all life on earth. The tides of your life rise and fall with the Moon and so do the life forces of all plants, animals and humans. She pulls at us, flirts with us and we are in a constant state of longing as she passes. And then, she teases us with her long-time affection for and affair with the Sun who ramps the tide up when they sit together. The intensity is, at times, overwhelming.

WHY AM I HERE?

     Your life is all about what flows and swirls around you and within you.

Some tides of your life are exoteric and comprised of the currents in your life. Sometimes these speed up or slow down or run at different rates, this builds large waves in climate, environment, politics, society, safety, health, food, economics and more like travel even birth rates, opening of wine grape blossoms and salmon migration. Each of these exoteric parts of the overall tide of your life are independent currents which may at times run as cross-currents – stopping things – pushing things unexpectedly.

Sometimes you are totally unaware of the currents that seem to change for no reason. These are Rip Tides and if you struggle against them you will lose your strength and energy and may perish because outer tides affects your inner life.

The small boat of your life is comprised of your health, life forces, physical constitution and Chronobiology; your thinking, confusion or lack of knowledge; your feelings like fear, joy, love or anger; and, your intentions – what are you going to try to do about all those exoteric complexities.

The tides of your life are ever changing and you will never catch a break or really be in control.

WHAT DO I WANT?

You modern people have pretend that your creation of “Science” and the evolution of your consciousness somehow makes you “free” from or able to control the tide of your life.

Do you go with or against the flow? Do you even know what flows in your life at all? Have you studied yourself? Your biography?

When I am aroused, the tide of your life lifts you up and buoys you. You ride the crest and think it is you who has done this. But, are you in over your head? When you are in over your head, are you in too deep and swamped by more than you know?

     When the tides of your life crash and fall; I sometimes put you on the rocks and break over and on you. I can be crushing when you try to go against the tide. Sometimes the look on your face is clueless about what happened.

     Life is a struggle for you. But, really, the tide of life is not about you, ultimately. You are one person in the current.

The tide of life is about more, much more. You were created in your mother’s womb, a salty tidal pool protected from larger currents. The Earth’s tidal pools have been the wombs of the first moments of creation of all life on Earth.

The tides have turned.

Why does the Lady of the Lake does not arise? Has the One who calmed the tempest handed it over to you and your Science?

Tidal pools no longer able to bear and sustain life only create the death of the Earth.

ARE YOU A PLANET OR A STAR?

WHO ARE YOU?

     Better to know if you are a star or a planet.

     Do you revolve around others? Do they hold you in some sort of emotional gravitational system? Do they care for you? Or, do they “use” you to feed their spin?

     Or, are you the one around which others move? How are you with that relationship? Are you caring, loving and responsible for those who are following? Or do you get off on ordering them around?

     Is your light reflected light like that of a planet? Or is it like the combustion of stars? Are you the one who has the capacity to generate the warmth, the brilliance, the new ideas, or insights? Are you the one who can reflect or mirror back the innovations so that others can pick them up and make them happen?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

     Are you the one who has received the big picture? Or are you the one to communicate about that big picture?

     Maybe you are the one that knows the deep history of that big picture – what happened when, what went wrong, what was exceptional? Or, are you the one who can reflect on the now – the how the big picture is going today?

     Maybe you take charge and act and get things done to accomplish that big picture, don’t mind the tussle, like to test someone by challenging them? Or, do you want to make sure that everyone working to achieve the big picture has the support they need? You care and you show it.

     Maybe you put it all together: you get the big picture, have the capacity and flexibility to take on any one of these roles, even for a short period of time. Good on you.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

The stars are the ones who can generate the light, the insight, the imaginations that are important and which we wish to follow. Most stars can’t receive insights or do what they imagine. Standing in and reflective the light of a star is no negative thing. Great stars never forget where and who the support planets which comprise their solar system really are.

Great planets are the ones who make it possible for a star's light to become alive and both create time and create love. 

As the childhood rhyme goes: "Star light, star bright, first star that I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight."

THE PRESENCE

WHO AM I?

     I am the Presence which makes the difference in this moment of your life. The Presence of the Higher Power.

     I am the Presence of something greater than yourself, greater than your intelligence and Ego. The Presence is not something you can out think, pretend doesn’t exist, or get it to respond and leave you alone.

     The Presence is an experience for which many long, but which most of us fear.

Why do we fear these moments? Because we each have carefully worked out whatever passes for our reality, the muddle in which we live, the expertise we have gained, the self-deceits, the shams, the accolades and the excuses. We FEAR what we will experience about ourselves in that moment of the Presence of the Higher Power.

It’s like the moment when Parzival rides out of the Grail Castle after he has not asked the question “Uncle, what ails thee?” and the guard on the watch tower calls after him, “You goose!”

WHY AM I HERE?

     Years ago I had a heart attack. Months later I attended a meditation retreat. Two simple meditative forms: the focused (or narrow) gaze and the wide gaze. I could do the focused gaze like gangbusters. Hold a pebble, look at it in detail, then recreate the pebble in your imagination. N-O Problem!

     However, I could not do the wide gaze: which is NOT focusing on the pebble but seeing broadly. Nope. No way. I had tons of excuses. I asked the teacher, Dennis Klocek, why I could only do the focused gaze. He said, “Because your heart is afraid that if you don’t hold onto the details, that you will disappear. That’s what hardened your heart and caused your heart attack.”

     My heart had carefully orchestrated my life so that I only did what I was good at (detailed work), what I wanted to do, because I WAS good, and it almost killed me.

“Jean-o, what ails thee?” Me.

WHAT DO I WANT?

     The question becomes: how do I BE different? How can any of us change?

     The Presence of the Higher Power is many times about reversal. We narrow-gazers need the courage to risk the wide gaze, to do the opposite of what our heart says we should do. To have a change of heart.

Or, if we are wide gaze people, we must risk diving into the details, struggling to keep it all straight, and learning things “by heart”.

     Ask the Question: “What ails thee?” Call forth the Presence which makes the difference in this moment of your life. The Presence of the Higher Power.  And then wait. Reversal does not mean specifically DOING anything different – but BEING different.
