There have been many strange events this past week.  A green fireball appeared in the Midwestern night sky April 14th, triggering a series of sonic booms before breaking apart over southwest Wisconsin. The earth is rumbling and moving at an accelerated pace. An Icelandic volcano has shot a cloud of dust so high into the atmosphere that all airplanes were grounded in parts of northern Europe, with follow on effects through the world. The week began with an airplane falling out of the sky, killing the president and most of the government of Poland, and yet another major earthquake shook the earth in a remote province in China.

The sky above us has become strange, the earth unpredictable. On a planetary level we are going through a major adjustment.  More importantly, for each of us, our inner sky and our personal ground is also moving.  This process began in the fall of 2008, and few of us have been left untouched by the tremors that ran through the financial system,  and continue to affect us to this day. Our psychological landscape has changed, and our emotional grounding has shifted along with it.

These structural changes move through each of our lives, our entire emotional and mental field is subtly shifted by the changes reflected in the cosmic patterns. Some of us are blown apart emotionally, others feel ground down by difficult events. and others are able to move through the openings in their lives into a new awareness.   I see it in the work I do with so many people now.  Times of change can break apart our world but they can also break open the stuck places in our psyches. I have seen miracles, true miracles.

It has been said that every crisis is an opportunity, and this is why Caroline Myss and I are offering a workshop in June,

Together we will work with these cosmic changes.  As the earth goes through its adjustment, every soul on this planet is affected energetically, and emotionally, and each one of us is asked to make choices that affect our spiritual growth. The danger lies in falling into the fissures, in losing our solidity. When that happens the worst case scenario erupts, madness enters the collective and life on this planet become an ordeal. None of this has to happen, and each of us has a role to play in making sure it doesn’t.  

When these kinds of major change occur, there is also a shift in the emergent archetypes. Late May and June is a time of great excitement, and possible innovation. As two major planets shift signs, they will bring a new impulse that hasn’t been seen in over 80 years.  This renewal is one of the keys to working with the very tense energies that come together a short time later.

The patterns forming in the sky later in the summer are extremely rare, and they will intensify at the end of July and beginning of august. How to identify where we are being asked to change, where each one of us is feeling this combination of pressure and opening?   I can think of no better guide than Caroline’s remarkable intuitive gift, her vision of the larger process, in combination with an exploration the larger cosmic picture.

The very foundations of our planet are rumbling, and the group psyche is deeply affected by a sense of insecurity. On cable television we live increasingly in a United States of Hysteria and misinformation. The ghosts of past fears are pumped into the information jet stream, and it takes a clear mind and consciousness not to be affected. We are afraid of what is coming  down, and sometimes even of our own government. 

We can do better than this. We don’t need to collapse into fear and trembling. Come and join is as we navigate cosmic change, as we midwife the new relationship. between our inner sky and the ground beneath our feet.

I will be writing more over the next several weeks. Spring vacation begins in Paris today. It is one of the biggest travel days, and the trains are on strike, and planes are grounded by volcanic dust. The sky is like that just now. It is a beautiful day full of promise, but there are major obstacles to move through.  As the great astrologer Dane Rhudhyar once said, "We can’t necessarily change events but we can choose how to respond to them".  In June we will be looking at our choices

This workshop is about the discerning of mystical laws and learning how to apply them to our everyday lives. It is your entry into what it means to live within the field of mystical consciousness.

We live according to three sets of laws. Physical laws are constants—the laws governing gravity, time and space, cause and effect, and magnetic attraction never change. It is incomprehensible that they would ever not work. Societal and religious laws (against killing and stealing, for example) reside in the physical world and govern all humanity without our having any choice in the matter. Mystical laws operate with the same essential harmony and are also constant, but they are porous. They are not subject to time and space—to the ground rules of physical life—and they are not subject to the laws of nature. This is also a description of the world you live in, as incredible as that might be to consider.

Mystical laws such as the law of karma or “All is One” do not exist as independent rules that order the structure of our external life. Rather, they are the laws that influence our interior or spiritual life, like a parallel universe that contains all the same information, but lacks the influence of time, weight, space, and gravity. These laws are governed instead by the power of prayer.

How might it benefit you to know how these laws work in your daily life? As an example, consider a person who is on a job search. I’ve encountered many people these days who are looking for a new job or just want to increase the size of their professional practice. Most people approach the job market in an ordinary frame of mind. They draw up a resume and search for a job in familiar waters.

Now picture yourself on this job search but instead, shift to a different approach, where you imagine yourself with unlimited potential, beyond your resume. What if you were to redefine your interior image from the perspective of your soul and find yourself alert to a voice that asks, “What and who are you now called to serve?” Through prayer you begin to see your life as an abundant path of service. This begins the process of replacing your resume of job skills with one of human skills. In other words, you are shifting your center of power from your ego to your soul. Such a shift in your field of gravity can clarify for you the difference between a career and a true calling in life. This in turn invokes the laws of cause and effect and magnetic attraction which reshape your life with extraordinary force as you come to an inner realization of your true path of service, the work your soul has been longing to do.

You are born with a resonance to the realm of truth these laws embody. You don’t learn them so much as you awaken to them; you come into an awareness of them that you have always known was there. The truest meaning of the spiritual path is to come home to these truths, to awaken again to what is already within you: the knowledge of the mystical realm. On some level we know, for example, that a miracle, an instantaneous healing, is the direct intervention of a mystical law.

You may already know what a mystical experience feels like. It visits people in different ways. It is often described as a timeless interlude that simply takes you beyond the limitations of your five senses, giving you moments of heightened sensitivity, an overwhelming feeling of quietude and calm, a sense of oneness—with another person, with nature, or with God. It is an experiential occurrence, one that language alone cannot convey. It has been described as the difference between reading about motherhood and becoming a mother, holding your child in your arms for the first time—a piece of information transformed into a pulsating truth.

Knowing mystical laws is not enough. Studying them is not enough. What is most important is that you discover whether or not you can live at the altitude of the truth that they represent. This workshop looks at what defying gravity requires of you and how living in mystical consciousness according to mystical law would change your life. It examines what it takes to truly change the quality of your life, to redefine and understand your life’s purpose. The focus of mystical law is to help you realize that highest potential refers to a divine principle and not an ego one, to one that says “Can I give more?” not “Can I get more?”

This workshop focuses on:

• Understanding what mystical laws are
• Using mystical laws to redefine yourself, your place in the universe and your place in your own life
• Understanding mystical consciousness in your everyday life
• The practical application of mystical consciousness
• Helping you on your personal path of transformation
• Learning tools of reflection and personal contemplation.

As with all CMED workshops, this workshop is experiential and focuses on practical applications to everyday life. Healing work is always an integral part of the weekend.
