From: Amos The following was recently received from the outer edges of our Granola infrastructure here in Southern California, that perimeter of our communal cognisphere where anything is possible and all possibilities are perfectly true. I thought you might get an uplift from it, so I forward it as received for whatever value it imparts. Enjoy! (Note that no actual universes were harmed in the production of this world-view).

Psychology of Vision May 2002 Night Light Newsletter To Help Keep You Safe While You Journey In The Night
Dear Friends, Grace continues to pour down on us in a highly accelerated fashion. While this has tended to bring buried darkness and conflicts to the surface, in May this down pouring will bring moments of genuine enjoyment. May is a month of burgeoning possibilities. New directions of life, love and success emerge. May shows a gradual lifting of pressure, a deepening of relationships, a way through and recognition of what you have given. It is a time of reward, though it is not a return on all that you deserve for what you have given. May harbingers a time of major reward and receiving yet to come. While some of us begin the month still knee deep in problems, issues and complexities, the energy quickly changes to provide new and lasting resolutions. This month is the beginning of lightness, ease, sweetness, pleasurable joinings, happy occurrence, a longing and yearning that leads us forward, the fragrances of the sweet bouquet of life, the enjoyment of friendship, long evenings of beauty, refreshment, a lightening of your load and happy times with the family and our beloved. There is a greater awareness and feeling for the presence of heaven and heavenly beings and guidance. Realms of enchantment, long closed, begin to open. Grace continues to pour in, loosening up darkness, chunks of negativity and old conflicts. The difference between this month and April is that there is a great deal of energy to transform this negativity in the easiest possible way. Energy abounds for transcendence of that which comes up or limits us. April was a time when much of the pain and problems buried within came up as problems, pain, anger, projection, fights and indulgence. If we stayed in integrity we approached these areas as opportunities for healing, but to the degree we forgot ourselves we judged, fought or even lashed out at those around us. Without awareness or a commitment to healing we were left only with emotional indulgence or bullying. With awareness, April became a great month for healing some of our deepest, most chronic problems. Since March there has been a major increase in death and death temptation. But since the end of April there has been an opportunity to let go of death idols, and death stories, and a chance to break through layer after layer of our death pact with the ego. The chronic problems that came up in April can be finally resolved in May. Life long patterns can now be moved through in the easiest possible way. This is a great time for those who experienced a childhood where one or both parents were in hell, thus making a hell for the whole family. This month the grace pours into us for the purpose of moving beyond this pattern. We have just finished a 2,000-year soul cycle and we are in the transition period, a quickening of the growth and healing process. Everything we have unfinished in this soul cycle is with us now to complete, and as we complete it, to open to a new cycle that is a leap rather than a half step forward. It is in this month that we can begin to break free of what has been a long and ancient struggle. For those of us dedicated to our healing, what may show itself under our problems, traps, conflicts, dark stories, shadows, conspiracies and idols is our own hidden, but nonetheless powerful, bad attitude. This is where we have been rebellious toward love, grace and God, wanting to do things our own way. In the deepest places in our mind we find the attack against God, using guilt, sacrifice and death. If we heal this deepest level of the unconscious, then a new day dawns for us. This level of categorical change, which brings a gift of transcendence and heaven on earth, makes an ever-progressing remarkable change for us. Even if we don't accomplish such a categorical shift, May has the potential to be a month of refreshment, a lightening of our load, the tenderness of love and friendship. There is a greater sense of heaven, heavenly beings and guidance. While the beginning of May may prove uncomfortable as we wrestle with some of the soul level chronic problems, the grace of the month is about the creative resolution and final transformation of these issues. This can lead to so much fun and humor that there are levels of outrageousness in our relief. It can also become a time of enchantment and mystic remembrance. At the shallowest levels this may be a recalling of happy memories, but at the highest levels, it is the joy of our being as we approach Being, and the celestial spheres in their exquisite beauty. If we have done our homework and prepared ourselves we will be ready for what is to come. If we concentrate on any negative feeling or situation until it is resolved, new possibilities, ideas, ways of working, living and loving will show themselves. This is a month of possibilities, where inspiration and opportunities present themselves. Most of the opportunities that present themselves are there to show what is possible, rather than to all necessarily be taken. These new paths give us a taste of freedom, and bring about luck and flow in our lives. There may be awards, prizes, recognition and achievements. New romances will stir and new life will be generated in old relationships. In many cases the scales will fall from our eyes and we will see people with new eyes, bringing inspiration, delight and a new appreciation. In May, friendship will be both a great pleasure and a big help. New friendship will develop, some acquaintances will become friends and some old friends will become much closer. Friendship will instruct us and give us new meaning. We will share food, drink and Spirit. We will laugh, cry, share our dreams and once again be made new. That which was broken in our lives will be made whole in a new commonweal. The fragrance of friendship this month will be like cut flowers, all the more precious because of their passing. In spite of our busyness there will be islands of time where we will hang suspended in the blossoming and safety net of friendship. It will renew and strengthen us. This month is prefigurement of the world at its next stage of development, in which there will be a greater enlightenment, unity and worldwide teamwork. As a result there will be greater prosperity, peace and sharing. While we will still have emotional and conflicted debris rising to the surface, May is really the first month where the effects of the new level of grace can start to be enjoyed. If we heal, we continuously step to a new level and avail ourselves of enjoyment, receiving and happiness. We can recognize poignancy, playfulness and the central importance of relatedness as they reveal themselves. May is not just a month where everything takes on a lustre of romance, though there is that. If we learn the lessons and embrace the gifts and possibilities of May we will see the world limned in enchantment. This is merely an opening to the higher planes shut off so long by judgment, power struggle and war, or any of the ways the ego builds itself. These openings come about because wires that have been cut in long forgotten hearts are rejoined, giving us surges of love and beauty, and bringing our hearts back to a wholeness that won't be lost like it was when we were younger. The sweet juice of May will surge through us, opening up romance and adventure. The feeling we had as children that "school's out!" will grow as the month progresses. Overall, the effect is one of love coming back into our life, bringing back our dreams, and once again experiencing the goldenness of childhood - but as adults. Poetry and art are reawakened in the soul as levels of drudgery and sacrifice are laid aside. Prayer becomes more a matter of the heart than merely a mental experience. This month opportunities emerge for shift into empowerment, compassion and being which equates to happiness. The core patterns that were hidden within are revealed, and as a result, new levels of effectiveness and joy are available. Through healing, many of us have sought to turn our love and lives into a work of art. For some of us, we will turn ourselves into, if only for a time, Living Beauty. This occurs when so much love and grace pour through us that everyone around us is touched by the sweet hurt of tenderness as our hearts swell. We remember that we have only ever wanted this, that as the beauty of the Beloved shines through us, our ugliness, misery, hatred, war, judgment, meanness of spirit, pain and hopeless must fall away. We dwell in Living Beauty and walk through life so changed we weep for joy. We see everyone as our friend and beloved because we have banished judgment and replaced it with blessings. The mysteries of life and the mind unveil themselves to us because we look only through eyes filled with lovelight. In this we finally attain one of our deepest dreams: to be a balm in suffering and a light in the darkness. We are a gateway to the remembrance of the Friend. Our heart's desire has only ever been for this - to bring heaven to earth. This month there is the possibility to remember why we came here, and to different degrees, we will succeed in becoming Living Beauty. Moments of illumination are possible this month for those who have opened the mystic mind. Usually this has the effect of pulling the next layer of darkness for healing. Do not be surprised by this. It is the natural course of healing. If we give ourselves fully to life, and to those around us, May can be an amazing month, one that is the opening to a whole new way of life. Hints for May 1. If life is not happy then focus on healing. 2. It is a month to eschew stinginess for the natural generosity of spirit. 3. Be aware that soul patterns can be transformed with relative ease. 4. When you find yourself in a less than happy position with someone, give him or her your trust, the power of your mind turned toward a positive outcome, and they will naturally step forward. If you give your faith, they will be faithful. 5. There is no problem that doesn't have judgment at its root. Suspend judgment and bless yourself and others. 6. Take some time to enjoy yourself with friends. 7. Old heartbreaks, withdrawal and disassociation are available for healing, opening the way for enchantment. 8. Beauty is all around you if you have the eyes to see it. 9. As you give to someone or something for the sake of giving, their beauty becomes available to you. 10. This could be a return to a much more expanded way of life. It can be a turning point in your life if you embrace the opportunity. 11. Grace will help you with everything if you request it. Let it accomplish things through you and around you. 12. What has been lost can be found, which will bring back goldenness. With Love and Warmest Aloha… *** |
