Comments for The Alchemy of Abundance: Opening to Life's Fullness with Rick Jarow

Comment on What is Abundance? by anna maria

Hello,
just this morning I listened to your interview with Tami Simon on Sounds True. I was very touched by several things you said, in particular when you spoke of the ancestors and the land we live on. I also appreciated that you mentioned the genocide of the Native Americans, as I have often wondered why that particular genocide seems to have been swept under the carpet, when it should be one to which we give great attention.
For some reason when you mentioned that the tribes that are gone actually live in the dream world, it brought tears to my eyes, and because of this emotion I am going to try to investigate this concept more deeply. Perhaps you discuss it more at length in one of your books. I will investigate.
Thank you for your teachings.
Anna Maria

Rick, I would like to be there, but economics don’t seem to favor it at the moment. I will be there in spirit. I love the organic process you mentioned.

Comment on Some Inconvenient Truths about Creating the Work You Love by Karen

I really resonated with this post. I believe that creating the work you love is connected to finding and living your purpose. Since we are all living during times of rapid change — having the information into “what makes you tick” will help you to stay grounded and to make conscious choices for yourself. You know what I’m talking about choices like, “Will this job make me happy?” “Is it aligned with my mission and purpose?” “Is my potential move across the country one that will magnify or diminish my purpose?” Creating and taking your own unique livelihood is infinitely easier once there is clarity about your core and the essence of who you are.

Comment on Some Inconvenient Truths about Creating the Work You Love by Whitehawk

This “burning fire of your will” is a critical piece. It is a common phenomenon to have one’s fire dampened and snuffed by the emotional issues life brings. It can take a lot of excavation work to shovel out the damp, old ash to uncover that precious ember and fan it to life again! ~ and likely in a very NEW way than we once understood things to work. It is a new context we have to work with – and within – and our capacity to create is actually stronger than ever! With “thoughts creating” like greased lightning now — the challenge is to harness all these doubts and fears that we have to negotiate in the climate of the moment.

What helps me is my increasing sense that this is all a great hologram that our higher selves actually “play” in with an attitude of fun and adventure. It’s our street-level egoic ‘portions’ that get caught up in the fear, the lack, and then our powerful egos (and their wills) generate more of this… literally creating more of it to grapple with in each unfolding moment!

In my view, more vertical alignment (to the Great One higher up the bandwidth that is our source of all strength, power, and Love of what’s really Right for us to do/be/have) is the key. A practice of suspending oneself in the transdimensional space encompassing our expanded selves for inspiration, and Gaia for anchoring this inspiration in form (if the inspiration needs to be physically manifested, which may or may not be the case) is my current practice, with an overall attitude that this is all a contrived “mess” we are seeing as various structures around us collapse (it is time for them to go).

My perception is, we are vast Creator Beings beyond time and space who have a game of sorts going on here… and we are about to pass Go and collect a reward: the reward of true higher awareness re: how to live, love, and express Self in luminous, synchronistic flow.

(Rick’s post just inspired these ‘notes to my Self’ … that I kind of splashed out here to share! oxo ~W)

Comment on 2012: Last Bastion of the Disenfranchised by Whitehawk

Hi Yolanda,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, and encouraging others to do the same. I too am interested in what others might be thinking/intuiting. More coming from me before long…

Aren’t you both offering truths? At the same time as we (individually and collectively) have to take responsibility for our own lives, our thoughts, feelings and actions, we are also influenced by forces greater than ourselves. This is not to suggest the absolute predictability of anything, perhaps it is more like a propensity. Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche analyses the archetypal patterns and acausal connections between the planetary alignments and the major events of human history and finds significant correlations – we are currently in a similar pattern to the c15-16 Enlightenment period. The point here is that we are part of a larger whole, the Cosmos, with its own intelligence that demands the activation of all our faculties, not just the rational mind, so that we can properly participate and even co-create.

Some say we are already in ‘2012 times’, the more sensitive amongst us might experience a particular heightened awareness on the 21st December 2012, but we are all aware that things are changing around us at an increasingly accelerated rate. Stories and myths can help us through these times, although they can be sadly misinterpreted too. I find it helpful to see the Mayan prophecies as a gift of revelation (and the original Greek meaning of apocalypse is revelation) that helps me to accept my role in co-creating a better world, and also invites me to accept that some aspects of our world order will necessarily breakdown at the same time as new ways, technologies and energies breakthrough; I have to be responsible even though I’m not in control. 2012 is a useful focal point and helps me see myself as a small part of a larger process.

And what if 2012 is another opportunity for humanity to see ourselves and the world as it really is? I’m curious more than anything and I’d really like to know what other people think.
