Pulmonary Compassion
I have started a new job for 20 hours a week a number of months ago and as long I don't live a life too abundant, it allows me to sustain myself and together with the income of my wife we can sustain ourselves and our daughter comfortably. I'm very glad with the current conditions since it allows me to both spend time on my family, my job and my ascension process. Perhaps I happened to weave this dream into reality. Whatever it is I intend to continue this mode for as long as it seems appropriate.
Last week I encountered something interesting at work. I discovered that something was stolen and after a week the thief was caught. Despite compelling evidence that he stole something that belonged to us, he persevered in his denial. At first I was amazed to see the ability of someone to hold on to denial that strongly and we were readily thinking about an appropriate penalty for the theft. When I was back at home I started to entertain a different view: would it be possible to introduce a more positive approach, respecting his desire to uphold his self-esteem through denial, and to let him work out something that connected to his favorite interests?
I was surprised what happened when I started to digest these thoughts more elaborately. Somehow my chest expanded together with my belly and I was overwhelmed with a sense of joy that really struck me as beautiful. I am going to call this sensation an act of pulmonary compassion for it seemed to be linked to my allowance of compassionate thoughts instead of thoughts of punishment and mockery.
The day after I wondered what this feeling was about: was it not only a physical, pulmonary tuning response to compassionate thought forms, but could it have been more than that? Could it have been a sign from within that I should actually be doing something with these thoughts in connection to this thief? In other words could I interpret this feeling as a stimulus to manifest these thoughts, or could it be that this feeling of pulmonary compassion was enough and that perhaps it is counter-indicated to try it out in the real world?
Recent SSOA-Developments
Because of some parts in a few articles somewhere around June 2006 I was inclined to think that Mila and Oa were back on track, but I still cannot wholeheartedly subscribe to that (see Hooray, they are back. When you compare the contents and the amount of articles that were published between 2001 and 2005 to that in 2006, 2006 stands out for its relative lack of new ideas.
Perhaps everything is already said, and why say it again? In the 2006 articles, however, many things have been reiterated (see Repetitions and Archetypal Blindness). Especially the Hawaiian Ancestors were experts in reiteration. But perhaps it resonates with people who are new to this material. I was therefore positively surprised to read the November 2006 article on Democratic Slavery. I would gladly support the intents that want to bring out into the open the flagrant greed of those in control in the financial world (also see Masters and Slaves).
In the November 2006, Cactus article we can read:
Mila and Oa are working upon the Complete Ascension Workbook Part II, and will focus upon all the patterns of disease and the algorithmic thought-form behind it. Workbook II will not be ready however to release until late 2008 due to limited time to write given their busy teaching and reading schedule. Earth perceives that most are not ready for part II anyway as there is much to focus upon in Part I of the Workbook to bring ascension into a more complete biological state of being for those working with the materials outside of SSOA.I always enjoyed the wisdom contained in the Earth Mother articles, together with the Great Central Sun articles and those from the Tao, not to mention the few articles from our Solar Sun. Because of past experiences I have doubts about the righteousness of the approach Mila has chosen. I think that they underestimate the number of people who are trying to ascend their bodies.However the Cactus Kingdom perceives the need for those reading the web site to understand the nature of disease and how to focus upon correcting patterns of over and under stimulation in the nervous system to aid in preventing ascension into disease. The intent to visit the Temple of Algorithmic Disease Patterns will assist each in beginning to focus upon this issue. One may also work with any of the healers upon our web site for assistance in looking at and transcending algorithms that create disease, as they have come to understand such patterning within themselves and have chosen to ascend out of them. (See “Consultations” for more information.)
Because Mila and Oa are so busy with their activities they cannot make it to release the second part of the Ascension Workbook. Although it was originally planned for the end of 2007 it is now postponed until late 2008. Somehow Mila has concluded that all those readers outside of the close (and rather costly) SSOA-community are not ready for all that comes forth from Earth Mother. We are not ready for the recent insights and developments from the consciousness of our planet.
On the other hand it could well be a well thought out attempt to allow people to gain their own sense of sovereignty a bit more, since there isn't anything to be expected through Mila as far as the consciousness of our planet is concerned, we'd might as well try to connect to its consciousness ourselves through our ancestors and connection with the nature kingdoms, our Source and soul groups. My curiosity or desire for the same load of inspirational information might well be a residue of my desire to have a confirmation of my own path from an outside source that I used to resonate with so well in the past.
Marciniak's Pleiadeans
Despite the anti-pleiadean (ascend) press from the SSOA I decided to buy the fourth book by Barbara Marciniak, called "Path of Empowerment: Pleiadean Wisdom for a World in Chaos" that was published in 2004. I already quoted an old part from 1992 in my 'losing hair'-article and you can therefore conclude that I believe that we are to work out things together with these Pleiadeans and we'd better treat them as friends and not as foreigners that are meant to be returned to their creation of origin (see Rethinking Marciniak's Pleiadeans). Perhaps you need to intend to disconnect energetically from the Pleiades like I did in the past.
It is fascinating to read how these Pleiadeans stress the importance of our mind and our ability to create our reality. It is so in line with the thought form transformation elements that are played with on this site. I think that I will mention this book a bit more in the future. I want to leave you with a few thoughts from our Pleiadean friends which aroused pulmonary joy as well, even though they would be harbouring 'harmfull thought patterns' according to the SSOA-paradigm.
Nestled in the depths of your cells are the memories and records of all of your ancestors, some of whom dealt with the same issues you are encountering today. Perceptions of reality are imprinted in the genetic code and passed along to the various participants in a bloodline. In all lines of time and in all realities of existence, personal freedom is the prerequisite to pioneering new parameters of possibility. (p.12)People knew that the mind was a tool to navigate realities. (p.33)
