DUALITY & PERCEPTION

PRIMARY INTENT: Realizing there is no authentic evolution until we accept that whatever transgressions we accuse others of only show up on our perceptual radar screen because they reflect what we are in some way currently doing unto ourselves.

VIBRATIONAL INTENT: Duality. Realizing that when we honor our own darkness in a healthy manner, it returns the favor in enlightening ways. Celebrating the experience of space and time created by having a here and there, a this and that, and a now and then. Inviting any part of ourselves that has no way to express itself in the world to have a safe home within our heart. Allowing others to sometimes act a little crazy without it leaving any lasting negative impression upon the way we feel about them.

FRESH START & NEW IDEAS

PRIMARY INTENT: Feeling the majesty of a fresh new start arising within our experience like the warming rays of morning sunlight, and then willingly turning ourselves toward and into it with the same momentum as a rotating planet.

VIBRATIONAL INTENT: Fresh start. Realizing that in an infinite universe a brand new opportunity can pop up anywhere. Considering that when something wonderful happens to us, it is because we are a fertile portal for sharing it unconditionally with others. Realizing that rejuvinating lifeforce is not prejudiced - it always, unhesitatingly, rushes toward and into any aspect of creation willing to seed new growth and possibility.

HEART INTENT: New ideas. Remembering that in an infinite universe there are as many ways to perceive something as we allow. Realizing that when we share what inspires us without contemplating profit margins, we immediately receive more.

Remembering a moment in our past in which we felt trapped in a state of deep discomfort - and acknowledging how our situation since then has changed to such an extent that there is now no evidence of that predicament. Noticing how willingly a neglected plant responds to our gentle care and loving attention. Witnessing how radiating our full unconditional attention upon another invites them into greater presence and partcipation.

HEART INTENT: Rest. Remembering that some of the most evolutionary insights have awoken within an inventor's awareness when napping on the couch. Giving the world permission to carry on without us for a few minutes and seeing that everything doesn't actually come crashing to a juddering halt. Realizing that when we are fully present we experience a calm stillness even in the midst of the most chaotic activity. Being willing to consider that if there is something we currently cannot figure out - that maybe we are not supposed to be trying to. Feeling at peace about our current arrangement of being contained within a physical body.

VIBRATIONAL INTENT: Cycles. Embracing the shift within any aspect of our experience as being a change upon the expression on God's face. Not expecting our experience of anyone to remain the same - and if it does - considering that we are the one holding our perception of them fast to the past. Remembering that when we feel as if we are 'spinning out' - that the spin cycle is deliberately designed to extract all the dirty water so we may be rinsed into wash-completion.

HEART INTENT: Movement. Honoring and celebrating movement as one of the key ingredients that enables all experience to manifest. Remembering that change is movement and movement is change - and that extinction is usually the consequence of resisting one or the other. Realizing that whenever life moves us to tears, we are being flushed clean of stagnant waters. Recalling a moment in which we were moved into gut-wrenching laughter - and then inwardly sprinkling the energy of this memory upon the life of another who is currently facing hardship.

HEART INTENT: Resilience. Remembering that no matter what we have been through, or are going through now, that we are still here, now, in this. Contemplating the implications of having absolutely no memory of not being alive. Acknowledging those who believed in us even when we lost faith in ourselves by wishing upon them an unexpected encounter of unfathomable grace. Offering up a prayer of love and appreciation for the indigenous elders who keep the ceremonial fires burning until we grow receptive enough to receive their living songs. Remembering that religion is new, but faith is forever.

HEART INTENT: The Portal. Realizing that whatever and wherever we are right now is the only portal into whatever and wherever we feel we ought to be. Remembering that our breath and all the lifeforce it contains enters our body only to the extent we allow it.

Remembering the vibrant feeling of being immortal we so effortlessly embraced as children.

HEART INTENT: Cleansing. Taking one simple step to initiate a daily procedure for the ongoing cleansing of our body-temple. Responding to emotional upset as being deliberate soap and water for the washing of our heart-space. Standing in front of a mirror and reminding ourselves of who is responsible for the way we currently feel about our life. Noticing that the word 'cleansing' is made up of the words, clean + sing.
