In our audio channeling this week we are encouraged to stay connected to our own inner knowing and not get too drawn to what’s happening outside of us.
Tap into the higher consciousness that is your own personal power. We all have it within us. Time to consciously tap into it and utilize it for our own good and the good of all. And stay calm.
With loving kindness for yourself, maintain a personal balance that is right for you. Strive to know yourself fully, to be yourself fully, in body and spirit, at home within yourself and within the world around you. Gain mastery over the conjuring mind that seeks to keep you a slave to its machinations. Free yourself of its busybody thoughts and its defeatist ideas and become the strong and solitary being that you truly are, independent, responsible, and mature, with thoughts and ideas that suit a balanced you and a progressive and positive attitude. In your own state of balance, know who you are and the purpose of your journey, to grow and evolve as only you can. Give yourself the gift of loving kindness and find fulfillment in your own balance, within and without. For if you are in balance then everything around you will be in balance too. And then you will be ready for anything!

Seek balance, within and without, in body and spirit, in what you do and what you think. Limit your thinking. Instead, let spirit lead, let body inform, and let intuition find its rightful place in your life. Set limits on old thoughts and ideas that merely hold you back, that keep you from experiencing life’s fullness, and allow your spirit to guide you forward without the limits of labels and set ideas but with openness to something new. Focus on the idea that you are energy, first and last, and that is who you truly are, and that is what inhabits your body, a vibrant energy being seeking vibrant life within you. Seek balance of this vibrant energy being within the physical self. Get those two right with each other, body and spirit, and all will be well.

Share the bounty. The desire for more, to accumulate merely to own, leads to imbalance. Instead, seek balance and modesty. Become a steward of the small and doable rather than seeking to possess for possession’s sake alone. There is no need for more than you can handle. In humble living comes satisfaction. In caring for little arrives abundance of pleasure. In having only what you need comes the energy to steward properly and with delight. Seek balance in everything you strive for, and maintain your little plot of the world, your place in it, so that all may enjoy the same pleasures as you yourself seek. To be in the Tao is to be right with everything, no matter the circumstances. Strive for that, to be right with what is, in each moment. And live with loving kindness for all beings in your heart. That is how to experience true joy and contentment.

All systems seek homeostasis. There are countless permutations of homeostasis. For instance, if one part of a system rises to an extreme, other parts of the system compensate by moving to the opposite extreme to restore balance. A system of extremes, though a volatile and unstable balance, nonetheless can take possession of the world, as well as the human personality, with dire consequences.
Democratic governments have evolved systems of checks and balances to ensure stability of governance. Elected representatives bring their varied, opposing beliefs and individualistic concerns to their meeting halls and, ideally, attempt to harmonize their decisions for the greater good. Often, however, special interests seek to stockpile power to advance their agenda unsullied by a democratic process, which generally requires compromise.
Some issues, such as a threat to national security, evoke a primal unity that can advance a generalized acceptance of war. This falls under the category of nationalism.
The world is dangerously close to such an eventuality, particularly in a time of deluge of fake news, geared toward advancing special interests, especially for those who advocate war to eliminate unwanted parts of the world system.
These are like the times in world history where a savior is sought to bring a peaceful reconciliation of opposites and restoration of world stability. In modern terms, the world seeks a mature adult leader to restore order.
In the human personality, the adult self is the “savior” charged with bringing sustainable homeostasis within the system of the human psyche.
The adult self is the conscious president of the personality. The chakras of the human energy system are the major energy centers of the personality that reflect different needs within the self. Thus, for instance, the first chakra is the representative of core security and safety. The second chakra is concerned with procreation and continuance of the species. The third chakra is concerned with the power of individual needs and wants, the true coming of age of the human ego.
The fourth chakra is the meeting place of the spiritual self, where the individualistic ego is introduced to the truth of its place in the larger interconnected system of the greater self. The heart chakra teaches the ego right action for the needs of the greater whole.
The final three chakras are greater refinements of awakening to the transpersonal dimension of being and to life beyond the physical self.
The adult self is charged with managing the needs of the total self in space time, that is, daily human life. The adult self must bring to the meeting room the unique concerns of all the representatives of the various chakras. Decisions must be made, and checks and balances employed, to insure good management of energetic resources in the behavioral fulfillment of everyday life.
Unfortunately, the adult self must undergo much maturation before it arrives at the adult ability to govern for the greater good of the personality. Here, checks and balances appear in the form of psychosomatic symptoms, emotional and cognitive reactions, as well as dream experiences and synchronistic manifestations that bring influence upon the homeostatic balance of the personality.
A basic example: at the core chakra level, we must eat to survive. The second chakra, with its primal concern of mating, might negate the need to eat in order to attract a mate. The third chakra, in a state of grandiose entitlement, might insist upon unlimited treats. The fourth chakra might give the message that food is necessary in moderation, and hold out that a true mate would be attracted to a person who lovingly cares for the true needs of the whole body.
An immature adult self might find itself easy prey to the special interests of one or another chakra, resulting in either under or over eating. An adult self that has undergone the trials of the lower chakras, and reached the heart chakra, would be able to avail itself of the wisdom offered at the heart chakra. This would mean eating an enjoyable, moderate, truly needed meal.
Again, all systems must achieve homeostasis. Homeostasis could actually look like an indulgent attitude, compensated by severe somatic and emotional symptoms. The goal is to achieve harmonious homeostasis, which provides enduring sustainability. All individuals have the opportunity to be saviors of themselves, in their intent of achieving mature adulthood.
Let us intend that world leadership follow this example.
Pursuing the path to heart,
