Chapter 25.


There was something formless and perfect
before the universe was born.
It is serene. Empty.
Solitary. Unchanging.
Infinite. Eternally present.
It is the mother of the universe.
For lack of a better name,
I call it the Tao.

It flows through all things,
inside and outside, and returns
to the origin of all things.

The Tao is great.
The universe is great.
Earth is great.
Man is great.
These are the four great powers.

Man follows the earth.
Earth follows the universe.
The universe follows the Tao.
The Tao follows only itself.

Tao Te Ching Lao Tzu, Translated by Stephen MItchell.

The New Paradigm

We are all living in a time of great shifts and changes. We have literally been sent to our rooms with a global pandemic, likely given to us in some way through the mistreatment of animals.

This is a trend. Humanity for thousands of years has tried to bend natural order to our will. The great separation where humans decided we were smarter, and that we had better systems and rules than the Universe could ever have dreamed. It’s evident this is not the case. We as humans have created systems that hurt each other. Capitalism, Patriarchy, Colonialism and more. We have learned how to hate each other, how to keep people hungry and unhoused. For what?
It’s no wonder the universe stepped in. You’d think we’d know from books like The Bible that nature can bring upon us massive change. We saw this when life came to an abrupt halt in 2020. Everything stopped.
Everything we thought we knew about life changed. We’d been warned. We’d been told. We’d had plenty of notice. We collectively thought we could keep moving at that pace, moving against nature, being out of sync in a permanent masculine cycle.

It’s as if we’ve learned nothing from nature. There is balance, there are cycles, there is cause and there is effect. We are now experiencing the effects. How long, and how much is up to us. We have a world wide communication system. How we choose to use it, how we choose to change, how we choose to literally do unto others…

This is the new paradigm. The shift back to nature. Vibrating with nature. Returning to balance. For some of us it’s excruciating to watch because we’ve already re-calibrated, (or perhaps you were never out of balance) either way we are watching as our fellow humans are over complicating everything, fighting, killing each other and our planet. We will only move forward as a collective when we have tipped the scales. When the majority of the collective is awake to the truth of where humanity stands. We are on the brink of returning to magic or descending to chaos. Human beings are rising above the ordinary and remembering the true meaning of connection, of spirit, of soul. The understanding that when one of us is sick, all of us are sick. We can’t continue this way.

We have to move into our light, and out of this density and pain. Anger is shitty fuel. We have to learn how to transmute, how to radiate our light, and how to shine so that we show up in our lives in ways that positively impact everyone we meet.

It doesn’t have to be this hard. It never had to be this hard.

We are moving into a time where we will reclaim the understanding that we are not only mind and body. We are mind, body and spirit and when we ignore this facet of our being life is harder. When we vibrate in harmony with our spirit, our own unique star stuff the world opens up. You’ve had a GPS for your life all along. Most people have just forgotten how to use it.

It’s time to remember.

Anubis

Where to even begin with Anubis. He was the first Egyptian God, or Ancient one who I ever felt a connection to. He is known as being an underworld God, the God of Death and embalming. However, the Egyptian Book of the Dead in which Anubis plays a central role, is actually better translated as the “Book of Going Forth By Day.” Anubis is the guardian of the gates, the walker between worlds. He is, the first Shaman. He is also the teacher of transfiguration and according to Ancient Egyptian mythology, the reason why human beings have a soul. He was the one who vouched for humans to have a chance to ascend to live forever in the field of reeds. To walk in light. He is the one who advocated to the Gods to allow not just the Pharaohs the chance at eternal life, but all humans. He is who is said to meet us to walk through the halls of judgement when we leave our bodies and who weighs our hearts against the feather of Ma’at. He is the one who reminds us of our divinity and prepares us to move into the full depth of our being.

He is not a God of death, he is a god of life and all that it represents. Without death we don’t have any rebirth, and as we move through cycles of change in our human life it’s important to remember this cycle. No change happens without death. No ascension occurs without change. Anubis teaches us that there is nothing to be afraid of. That we can tip the scales and balance our hearts in life, not only in death and that we can build relationships through space and time by learning the ancient teachings of the soul.

Anubis is one of my favourite helpers. He is direct, helpful and enjoys giving us breadcrumbs of meaning in our every day life, he shows us that connection between worlds and reminds us that we are in fact, everywhere and that life is a magical gift. We have the opportunity to use these lessons in our life to ascend into our soul purpose and walk in light into the field of reeds.

Ascension?

Some call it enlightenment. Some call it Solar Consciousness. Astral being, Astral Body. The ancient Egyptians called it eternal life. It’s Ascension. It’s our connection to the divine.

“There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind.” – Beethoven.

In human realm, material realm. We are part of ordinary reality. We exist as material. Mind and Body, but there’s something else. Spirit. Energy. It doesn’t matter if you’re religious or believe in a higher power. You are made of star stuff. Energy runs through you as long as you are alive on this earth, and for some, after.

Ascension is our birthright. We’ve had so many creative, philosophical and spiritual human beings live on the planet who have tried to explain. So many gods, goddesses, ,prophets and seers. They’re all the same. They’re all human beings who stood so closely to their divine light. To the soul, the spirit, the energy that lived inside of them.

They all tried to tell us the same thing. We are light. Light is love. We are all part of this current. The energy moves through us. The Tao. The Flow. The All. The Way.
The Universe is bigger than we are capable of understanding. We’re meant to have a sense of wonder. We are meant to imagine, to dream. It’s our birthright. So is enlightenment. There’s that word again, Light. Where does light come from?

Space. Sun. Stars. Shine.

The pyramids were not tombs. They are arrows pointing at the sky. Everything we are, everything we have ever been. Everything we will become is there. Up. That fire, like the sun, it lives inside of us. When our human bodies can no longer function here, they die. Our spirit, our soul, our consciousness. It does not die. It can, for some, live forever.

Enlightenment or ascension is just the beginning of the possibilities that exist when we leave our human experience. For the immaterial, spirit, soul consciousness. Our – solar consciousness. Our light being. Non-ordinary reality. The As Above, to the So Below.

Enlightenment is the ability to be in the present moment completely. Not only in mind, but in body and spirit. This is the ascension, when we realize that we have a personality, an ego, but we also have a consciousness. A solar consciousness inside of us, the spirit. The soul. We become aligned as a being.

This is why people refer to walking a spiritual path, walking in light, being in practice or on a healing journey. This is how we build the vehicle in our consciousness outside of ego, outside of personality, outside of our human life experience in ordinary reality to allow our consciousness to develop a place, an inner garden or landscape to exist outside of the body. This is “astral travel”, this is shamanic journey, this is part of Ascension.

It is this that the ancient Egyptians described in the first book of magic, The Book of Going Forth by Day (The Book of the Dead). This was why they represented the items one would need in the afterlife. They were in touch with their spirit, they saw the fields of Aaru

They tried to leave as much behind as they could to explain to us how to enable our consciousness to withstand human death. Spiritual leaders have tried to impress upon their congregations how this works, unfortunately capitalism, patriarchy and colonialism got in they way for so many people. We lost our sense of human. Spiritual teachers are so on point because they are light beings who have CHOSEN to return to help. Ascended masters can choose to return to the material/physical realm, because they have achieved not only ascension, or enlightenment – they have built a practice and connection to the current that is the light, that is so strong, that it can withstand even human death.

Humans over complicate everything.
It’s not as hard as they want you to think, this is truly what we have forgotten.

Want to learn? I’m ready when you are. There’s only one thing I ask when we work together – you have to pass it on.

2020 is for Warriors.

Cosmic Collage Via Lori Menna

So, here we are. We have a climate crisis. We have division. We have a Pandemic.

We have truth and reality literally smacking us all in the face.

There’s been an escalation of truth in the last 3 years. For better and for worse.

From 2018 to 2020 we saw #MeToo collapse previously untouchable giants. From Cosby to Weinstein. We are witnessing cancel culture. We are watching people be held accountable in popular culture. We are witnessing the fall of old patriarchal power structures.
We’re also seeing the truth of the world’s wealth and financial divide. We are witnessing the failure of government. We are witnessing the uprising of people around the world calling for better. We are witnessing the truth being screamed from the mouths of children. We are facing failures in the systems we thought there were to protect us.

Prior to the Trump presidency, so many were asleep at the wheel. The side effect of Trump has been unification of the good. Discussion and education about the bad, and the understanding that evil is man made. We have created hell here. We did this. We did this by worrying more about Kardashians than we did about our own lives. We did this by subscribing to the power structure designed to hold us down. We will change it by rejecting those and remembering who we are and why we are here.

This ego driven, designer instagram filter world has made so many people apathetic. We have forgotten our real power. We are wild. We are unfiltered. We are not meant to be flawless on the outside, Our souls are perfect. We are all radiant and full of light. We are warriors of magic. This is not just about a virus, it is about the side effect. Self isolating. Cancelling of things people have deemed “important” like sports, or cultural events. The climate crisis hasn’t been connecting for people. Until it floods their town, or burns their forests. Starves their home of life. Now, a plague that doesn’t discriminate either. How curious.

It is time we remember why we are here. It is time we put down the distractions. Stop complaining, Stop being so angry and realize that we are being provided omens, signs, and the biggest one of all. The side effect of this virus.

Slow Down.

Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing To…

You may not associate Wu-Tang Clan with healing, but The Rza does.
His book the Tao of Wu is one of the best books I’ve read about Art & Spirituality.
I grew up a huge fan of Wu-Tang’s music but also the collective strength of multiple artists. All individual stars, coming together to form a galaxy.

I modeled my own company around the same ideals. I was able to meet Bobby (The Rza) and share that with him during a visit to one of his movie sets a few years ago. We talked about Taoism and the moment he told me that meant the most was when I pulled out my copy of the Tao of Wu. He signed it for me and it sits on the altar beside my bed with the Tao The Ching and a few other important texts.

Rza has been doing a daily meditation, and it’s great. You can enjoy it here

Another resource to stay centered during this pandemic.

“Confusion is a gift from God. Those times when you feel most desperate for a solution, sit. Wait. The information will become clear. The confusion is there to guide you. Seek detachment and become the producer of your life.”

― The RZA, The Tao of Wu
