Weekly Alignment - Letting Go

Weekly Alignments 7pm Thursdays JST

Learn how to use your subconscious to manifest your desires (sigil magic), and enjoy a meditation allowing new things in to your life.

0:00

Today's concept is letting go. And there's a couple ways we can
practice letting go.

What's coming up as an idea is creating a vision for ourselves in
either a visual image if you if you enjoy sketching things out and
drawing, or it could be a text description like words describing your
optimal situation.

So of those two options, do you have a preference? If it would be
visual or verbal?

Yeah, and we can do both, I mean, in this case, I'll say "create your
vision," you'll be either writing words or drawing the vision.

Hmm? Yes, good, this, drawings will work in this process as well. So
just starting with whatever is most comfortable for you.

Take a moment to get in your mind, a vision of something you want to
create for yourself or to experience for yourself.

Make sure your request is something that is neutral to those around you.

You can say for example, "I receive money."

But do not say, "that one guy will pay me back money."

Or you can say "I receive love." But don't specify who you want to love you.

By keeping it neutral is safe practice.

Trying to change someone's will is a type of black magic. So be sure
you keep your request neutral for the universe, and the people around
you.

And we're going to do a process that allows it to be handled by your
subconscious is one way of saying it.

So starting with the verbal description that you can write, take a
couple minutes to describe the optimal situation that you want to
create for yourself, and it could just be one one small topic.

Take about
a minute or two minutes, write 10 or 20 words that described this
optimal situation.

Any one that you pick now is fine. This process works best if you do
it multiple times and the reason will become clear as we do the
process.

So don't worry too much about choosing the perfect one. Just allow
yourself to choose something that you want to create or experience in
your life. You don't have to share it with us. These can be your own
private desires, whatever they are.

Let me know once you have your phrase written.

Mine came out to 12 words. So 10 to 20 words is probably easy to work with.

And you can you can do this multiple times.

So, once you have your, your phrase your description, we're going to use
the letters of this description to create a symbol that represents
this phrase.

And there are many possible ways that this can be done, I'll go with
one that I learned from one of my teachers to start by removing all of
the vowels in the phrase.

So, leaving the consonants you can just cross out the vowels and then
rewrite the phrase with just just the consonants.

And then any repeated consonants will not get repeated in the new
version.

So removing the vowels, you're writing just the consonants that are
there one time for each consonant in the description.

And then once you have the consonants, kind of extracted will then
create a a symbol, I lost the word [sigil], like a seal.

So for me, I have the letters R, T, N, L, Y and then etcetera, that
I'm going to incorporate these into one symbol using just these
letters.

And they can be upside down or sideways. They can be merged
together. Anything that makes a unique a unique shape, that may be
interesting to look at.

Letters can be backwards or whatever. So I've come up with this,
incorporated all my letters here upside down and backwards and
sideways all merged into one shape.

And these are the consonants that I extracted from my phrase.

And then can refine this, this symbol, kind of melt it down, by
rewriting it until the actual words are out of your memory.

They're gone from your memory and i'ts just just the symbol that
remains

allow this symbol to get more and more symbolic.

And I just looked up the word it's called sigil, S-I-G-I-L that we're
creating.

I've got my sigil down to this shape here.

2021 feb 11 sigil

So the letters are almost not even visible anymore. But the
subconscious remembers.

I'll describe the next part but before doing it, the recommendation
would be to create some more sigils using the same concept until you
don't remember which one is which, but your subconscious remembers.

And creating that break in consciousness as part of the "letting go"
process that we're allowing the, the spirit or the the universal magic
to, to bring this into our awareness or into our lives.

And the next step once you have forgotten completely what the symbol
was for what's the sigils for: get into a highly emotionally highly
charged state.

And one of the most common versions for this is a sexually charged
state, to the point of orgasm in whatever way is best for you, whether
with a person or without, and take one of the sigils and look at it
during your experience of orgasm and let it burn into your mind.

and memorize it and feel it and not remember what it was but just
completely in that moment of, of high emotional energy, positive
emotional energy, charge that sigil into your mind and your memory and
then let it go.

Lose the paper it's done. And that's the process of using the sigil to
allow your your subconscious mind to bring this into your life with
emotional and spiritual connection.

10:30

For the next part of tonight, I wanted to talk about what it means for
you to let go of something and what does it What does it require to
change in your being to let something go?

This is a very broad topic. So whatever answers come up for you are
welcome.

Using what I heard you guys speaking, I wonder if we can do a little
meditation process that might facilitate the letting go.

So, take a moment to settle into your space, using this as a miniature
letting go. Letting go of any tension in your body.

Letting go of your breathing.

Letting go of your mind as it may continue to run or not. Just let
that go. Either way is fine.

Recognizing that the mind may have its own ideas for how to control
things or how to bring things into fruition

and yet, you know from experience that most things are not yours to control.

So just for a moment, allow the mind to drift away.

Just let go of the mind for this moment.

Having already created the vision for what you want to achieve or what
you want to experience.

Allow yourself to trust the process.

Trust that the universe has heard your request.

And the entire universe is in motion toward fulfilling your highest desire.

As creative beings we create with our vision with our intention,

sending the vision out into the universe and allowing it to be
reflected back, effortlessly on our part.

Allowing yourself to allow a new vision into your life,
opening your heart, with the power of spirit within you.

Expand expanding your being to its full potential.

And allowing this answer from the universe into your life, into your
experience.

And as we enjoy this new experience, there will become a next desire
or a next want.

We create an intention or create a vision based on the new desire, the
new want.

visualizing it, and trusting the universe has heard.

Allowing ourselves to grow into the being who is ready for the answer,
ready to allow this new vision into your life.

This is an ongoing cycle, happening effortlessly as we live.

and adjusted exactly to the size we allow ourselves to accept.

Practice allowing yourself to be filled from within by the infinite
spirit fully embodying all of your parts all of your being,

allowing them to be manifest into our lives.

In a moment, we'll be coming back into our shared space.

Recognize this as a miniature version of the same:

visualizing seeing with your physical eyes: the room around you and
the computer screen

allowing the being inside you to grow into that space of eyes
open. Bringing this vision into reality

Allow each vision to be as seemingly as simple.

In the book Course of Miracles, it says there's no order in
miracles. They're all the same size.

If anything came up for you during that exercise, you're welcome to
share if you like.

Weekly Alignment - Digging In

Digging in to the truth of who we are allows us to fully embody our being. Notice we are animated from within by the breath of life.

I imagine the search could seem complicated, and allowing yourself
to settle within the concept:

I am the one I've been waiting for kind of idea, you know, we are
the ones we've been waiting for. is very supportive idea for me,
it's scary in a way to say "who me? Oh, no!"  kind of, kind of
thing.

And it has really turned out to be true in a lot of ways, for me
over many different aspects of my life.

So the, the search continues for, as I hear you saying, and the
invitation to allow the search to come from within with your own
superpowers and your own gifts to the world.

And certainly keep listening to the great masters and the the
people who have recognized the truth of who we are in the, in this
lifetime.

What's coming up, for me is the the concept of being grounded
within the search itself and within the work of moving forward in
the processes.

A lot of things can come up, and if, if we stay grounded, then
whatever comes up is simply something that we notice on the on
the, like, outside of us, so to speak, or within the hologram of
the game that we're playing.

We can remain grounded in the self for the duration of however
long that lasts within within the vision of our life there.

So just to get started, May I invite you to feel this physical
body and feel it sitting relaxed in your chair or in in your seat.
Just fully embodying your body.

Noticing it has been breathing this entire time. That breathing is
there to serve you as you share your gifts with the world.

Allowing the entire space around you to support your being

noticing your breathing.

noticing the thoughts that may come up, just allow them to go by

allow this present moment to expand.

As Alan Watts has said many times the moment on our clock is
measured with a hair line, second hand and we We tend to think of
this present moment as a miniscule, tiny fraction. My invitation
to you is to allow this moment of Now to begin to open.

So it's actually beyond time, this moment of now,

Allow your sense of this moment, the sense of your being to gently
expand.

expanding in space,

expanding in time,

recognizing it's all the same stuff, this space time.

So the projection that we see around us, appears to be external to
our bodies and our experience.

Actually, we include it.

Notice what it's like to literally include time and space within
your being.

From this perspective, all of timespace becomes very small as we
see from a grander perspective.

Imagine coming back, focusing more on your physical body.

Whereas you include all of time space, your physical body is
included within space time.

Allow yourself to bring your focus back to your physical body gently.

Slowly coming in to your physical body, noticing the difference in
perspective of the physical body being inside space time versus
our true nature including space time itself.

As you re embody your physical body in this moment,

notice some of the thoughts and ideas that you've had planned for
yourself been wanting to do, whether they're well fleshed out, or
still exploring and moving forward.

Take a moment to write down some of those that come to mind. Some
ideas you've wanted to do.

You may have one big one that's very clear, or few options like a
to do list. Anything is okay.

(pause for writing)

Allow your allow your list to come to completion and find one
topic to focus on for a little discussion.

The idea of digging into this one topic. What are some things that
you may have to let go of in your life in order to fully embrace
this topic? To fully bring it into your life?

(fifteen minute discussion of above question)

And simply the the practice of meditating, whether it's 15 minutes
per day, or one minute, 15 times per day,

This concept of meditation is simply being with myself for this
moment.

And it doesn't have to take us a long or a whole elaborate
arrangement. But even in any moment, just be with yourself, and
then forget about it.

"Ah, that's right."

And just be with this help at any time. It's like a continuous
meditation. Anytime you forget, just bring your focus back. And
notice. And it's a continuous process.

(discussion time)

Having the idea of your your list or the item on your list there,

noticing the parts of you who are already connected with this item.

parts of you that are already connected or optimized.

breathing into those parts of your optimal self.

These are your superpowers we've talked about before.

We have many superpowers. We breathe into the ones that are
aligned with this particular topic. Those parts of us that are
already well established. Simple for us to do.

Breathe into those and allow their strength to expand within your
being bringing online other parts of yourself that may not have
had as much practice

Allow your well developed parts to offer energy to the parts that
may desire more energy

as the infinite power of the universe animates.

Allow this animation to expand to all parts of your being.

Blessing all parts of yourself

activating all parts of yourself

really digging in to the truth of who you are.

An infinite being having this experience within a physical body.

The ego has ideas about what needs to be fixed, what needs to be
corrected.

Recognize everything is perfect.

Everything is correct.

Simply allowing yourself to consciously feel the being.

This being is your groundedness is your ultimate anchor.

Let your consciousness shine like a light within your being

and your light shining out for other people to see.

As you settle fully into your being

allowing your being to effortlessly express itself within the world.

Allowing your work to energize you

feeling excited as you in body more and more of your being

continuing to take moments to notice your being allow this to
become a regular practice. Oh yeah, here I am.

In a moment, we will come back into a speaking mode. Just feel
this experience now in this moment as your awareness is failing
more of your being

As you are aware of more of your being.

Allow yourself to take a mental note or a mental snapshot of this
feeling. So you can refer to it at any point

teller becomes second nature to simply be in full embodiment.

allowing a few more breaths at your own pace.

Simply notice your body breathing itself.

As you notice your Being being itself

Reinforce this mental snapshot of this experience. Keep it in your
proverbial back pocket. So you can call it up at any time

begin to re embody the physical bodies

I welcome you back into this shared space.

Weekly Alignment - Listening to our Self in realtime

Weekly Alignments 7pm Thursdays JST

In our Weekly Alignment last night, we practiced listening to our Self, as opposed to our chattering monkey mind.

Listen below to the recording of the meditation portion of the session.

First draft of transcript by https://otter.ai

Take a moment to breathe, just releasing any tension in your body,
nice deep breath and just let it out, let you know the tension
drop off of your shoulders, allowing your body to breathe
itself. Welcome brother, checking in with your body in this
present moment, similar to the being present. Without future or
past. How did that go for you during the week. Yeah. Sounds like a
new adventure in a way like starting the clearing process. So you
can begin the year a new. Very nice. for the program
today. Listening to the mind chatter. And being able to
distinguish chatter that's coming directly from mind and ego
versus information, which could be words could be sensations could
be feelings that are coming from a higher place a spiritual
source, as it were, that has our best interests in mind, and a
grander viewpoint than what we have been here in the middle of
life on the planet, and within this time dimension in three
dimensions of space. How do you distinguish between mind chatter,
and inspiration, coming from spirit. Like in your mind receiving
inspiration from spirit or higher self versus the background mind
chatter of this more basic within the 3d realm as opposed to
having this higher perspective. So we're going to explore that
tonight. Practicing distinguishing between mind chatter, and
insight from the, from a higher source in higher space. So, just
taking a moment. If you want to have a notebook ready, this is a
good time to prepare that good teen present in your body. Allow
yourself to tune in to that ceiling that you described associated
with information coming from the higher self. The
excitement. Allow yourself to tune in. Very simply being
connected. Simply and clearly to this feeling may feel like
love. You may feel warm. He may feel excitement, just tuning in to
this sensation, recognizing that this connection is always
available at any given moment, with the intention of connecting to
your highest self. Use your mind or your voice with your intention
to connect only to your highest self in your best
interest. connected to your purpose in life. In this
moment. Welcoming your connection. Clearly and simply allow
yourself to have a bit of a dialog. Very simple. With the answers
coming, even as soon as you can pose the question, how do you
connect most clearly with your higher self. What type of
questions. Can you ask of your hire So when is your higher self
available for you. Well now we, the answers to come very clearly
and simply write down any answers that you hear, as it best serves
you. recognizing this connection in a very clear way, asking your
higher self how to distinguish between the higher self insights
and other ramblings of the mind. Feeling that love warm open
connection. Thank your higher self, your own cell for creating the
connection. And we'll practice, keeping the connection open while
speaking with each other in keeping the connection open while
writing in your notebook. Take a moment to write in your notebook
any insights you received. Welcome to share with me as you
wish. For me, my higher self always uses positive language. So,
for me if I hear something like, do not do this. That's for me
that's not from my higher self, the phrasing is always
positive. Loving patient calm. These are words that I've used to
describe my, the sensations I get connected to higher so while I
was leading the meditation, I. It was my intention to just bring
it all down from from higher self so I don't remember all the
questions that I asked in that meditation, but I think there's at
least one or two more that were there. Did you notice any other
insights that came during the meditation. The mind is well versed
and offering things to think about. So, allowing awareness, step
back from the mind while it's busy chattering. Okay. Gavin Watson
notice that the mind is there, busily trying to keep control,
maybe a way to describe it. So yeah. The next thing I had planned
is very related to that and related related to last week, or maybe
two weeks ago, where we allowed the mind chatter to go down down
down into the worst possible scenario. And having done that
exercise already. Last week, we don't need to do the exercise,
again, but just notice what it felt like doing that, you can do a
very abbreviated version of that exercise, what might happen, and
noticing the downsides. But more importantly, noticing how it
feels when these types of thoughts are coming up for you. Notice
if there is a difference in your posture. Notice the difference in
your energy in your body. Is there a difference in the tension. Is
there a difference in how quickly your mind is moving. Simply
notice how it feels. For the mind to take over and go down the
rabbit hole. And now practice, releasing the mind coming back up,
as it were, into the feeling connected to your higher
self. Welcome in your focus your hero awareness back into your
higher self. Notice the difference in the texture of the
feeling. Notice the posture of your body. Notice the speed with
which your mind is moving. Notice the space between your
consciousness, and your mind. As your consciousness is more fully
present and aware with your higher self. And just as practice is
an exercise. Allow your consciousness to move back to your
mind. Connecting to one of the thoughts. Connecting to one of the
thoughts and just allow your consciousness to lock on to the
thought noticing how it feels. As your consciousness is locked
into a thought. Is there a difference this time. After being
connected to your higher self versus a previous time where maybe
you've been lost in thoughts all day. One type of indication, can
you notice that to become lost in thought. How can you remind
yourself to reconnect to your higher self. From inside this
state. Practice noticing yourself lost in thought, and use that to
bring yourself back into awareness of your higher self. No to
seeing your body, noticing your breathing reconnecting to the
space. The silence, in which your higher self rests. Notice this
way of noticing. When you've become lost in thought. So you can
more easily recognize in your day to day activities. Maybe setting
an intention for yourself. To quickly notice when you've become
lost in thought, allowing yourself to keep connection to your
higher self consciously. This will be our playful exercise, size,
during the week. Practicing staying connected to higher
self. Recognizing it's a process. The higher self is slowly
welcoming and accepting giving yourself time to practice this new
way of being. Thank you for practicing with me now.

Weekly Alignment - Who are we outside of time?

Tonight we had a chance to notice we still exist even without a past or future. How does a timeless being use its skills while living in time?

Sit back, relax, and discover your truth for yourself. :-)

Noticing your physical body, allow yourself to simply be in the
body, being with your breath.

Your physical body has a past in the physical dimension.  Your
body has had experiences and changes over time.

The body uses oxygen and burns food to give it energy. These are
all natural processes.  The body knows how to take care of itself.

So the body exists in time. And for this exercise, we will allow
ourselves to let go of the body, knowing it will be here when we
are finished, as the body has a future.

So, just thank your body for a moment and allow it to take care of
itself. We will be right back with the body.

Noticing what remains, you might notice mental thoughts and
ideas. These often have a time component based in memories and
repetition.

So let's also allow these mental constructs to drop away, noticing
what remains as you release everything about your history,
everything about your future, just let it drop away.

Noticing something remains.  There is an awareness.

Mind may come back trying to get your attention. Just allow it to slip away.

Noticing what remains as we drop everything away: all the concepts
of identity, all the words. Just allow them to slip away.

Noticing what remains, releasing all concept of identity or memory.

Noticing in this moment: noticing what is here.  What is it that perceives?

Recognizing even as we release everything; allow everything to
drop away. Something remains.

Who or what is releasing?

Recognizing the part of you which remains, even as we drop away
everything.

Allow that part of you to re-inhabit the physical body. Maybe
connect with the notebook, just noticing what's here, capturing
this truth of who you are.

[allow time to write]

Again, allowing everything to drop away. Again, release your
physical body, thanking it for taking care of itself.

Again release any words. Releasing any identity.

Simply be here now.

Recognizing something cannot be released.

Recognizing no name, no form, no desire, no color.

It simply is.

Recognizing this IS-ness has no location, no time; it is always
here. Always now.

And so, as we begin to notice the body breathing, allow the
IS-ness to settle gently within the body, finding everything to be
working optimally, as you settle back into your body.

Beginning to remember this the history you have shared with the
body the experiences it's brought with you

Noticing this IS-ness is always here; always available for your
pure experience.

As you're ready, allow your fingers to begin to move. Remembering
this body has fingers has arms, legs.  Reconnecting with this
physical body. Recognizing the IS-ness remains unchanging, even as
the body changes and moves.

(Recall your super power from last time.)

Recognizing the part of you that remains, even after we release
the physical body [and] release the identity.

Notice this superpower as an innate quality, innate skill that has
come with this life you're experiencing.

Breathing into your ability and your skill which is one of many
skills but just thinking about the one for now for simplicity.

What are some ways that a timeless being can use this skill in an
environment of time?

Recognizing yourself at your essence, to be beyond time, how do
you use this skill within time? .. as you experience time?

This is a superpower offered as part of your package arriving into
this life experience.

This life experience is an opportunity for you to experience using
this power, almost as if it's one chance to use this power.

And yet as you exist beyond time you understand there are infinity
chances.

How do you use *this* chance *this* superpower while moving
through time *this* life?

Feel free to note down any inspirations that come.

Feel free to simply sit with your superpower outside of time,
knowing in your experience, you have unlimited time.

How do you serve yourself and others as you're experiencing time
together?
