Astral Awareness and Paradigm Tweaking

Calls went out in the fall of 2006 when an astral node blew and a shooter began killing children in a rural school. Healers and facilitators felt the urgency and responded. As mentioned in an August 2007 post, a healer and journey worker friend of mine and I were among those who gathered.

Spiritual disaster work isn't always clear cut and obvious … it certainly wasn't for us that day. Because our customary roles involved interaction with participants, our thoughts focused on tending those in need. What happened was more like watching a movie at a drive-in.

From a distance, we saw concentric circles of protective light surrounding the devastation … within the circles, workers administered to the casualties, their families and community. Except for my friend's tenuous connection to one of the children, we stood back.

Our expectations differing from the reality, we were measurably disoriented. However, we trusted the validity of the call we'd received and we knew the event wasn't trivial. Repeatedly we re-grounded and re-balanced.

Best we could determine, we were called to witness … exactly what we were to see, we didn't know. Lack of an overview was of no consequence; we committed to provide, do, whatever guidance disclosed. It was with acceptance of the unfamiliar and alignment with greater intention that we became aware of the furious, terrible hole in the ground beside us.

It's an understatement to note the hole was an unexpected anomaly. It was a dreadful aberration. It felt as if it contained legions of horrors … some recent, some from times past. We could hear it raging ~ filled with sounds of gale force winds and echoes of screams. We could see it squirming ~ frantically sucking the emotionally charged atmosphere. We caught glimpses of the system's interior … we felt its ferocious greed and determination.

Bizarre as it was, we didn't pause to mull its implications, much less consider why it was on the periphery, where it had been or what it had been doing before we saw it. In the moment, all we knew was that it was a component of the tragedy.

We snapped to: … perception of the astral opening was only a partial task. The system needed to be disengaged from 3d and the hole sealed.

Using an etheric disk equivalent to a massive manhole cover, we severed the connection. It held. The sounds subsided and the quaking ground around the opening calmed. There was no pleasure in our action … truthfully, we didn't know if what we'd done had any affect on the immediate circumstances, on the injured or the healers and workers involved.

We were, at most, only semi-relieved. The disk wasn't a permanent solution … it was an adequate solution for the current incident but it didn't address the fact of the manifest hole or the massive amount of energy the system behind it wielded. What was it? Where did it come from? Why did we see it? Clearly, this experience would require more than a little debriefing.

Astral Buzzsaws & Axial Ages … The Boat of Reality is a-Rockin'

Without interference, energies in motion continue until they atrophy. Astral networks perpetuate and propagate. They avoid deterioration by using energies from manifest events to fuel themselves and create offspring.

If everything is part of the Greater Whole, is it right to thwart these things? That's a razor's edge question. Make no mistake: … for healers, psychopomps and warriors alike, it is a spiritual determination. Not to be wishy washy, but: … the answer is yours.

Resolution to service is chock full of variables ~ ethical, personal, mechanical. Mere recognition is a form of participation. In a sense, then, we all handle astral events … some just more consciously than others. Observation we can regulate somewhat. Attendance is a commitment.

Middle ground meddling is neither prudent nor advisable … it plays to and with weaknesses. The lure to dabble can begin in innocence, as a product of curiosity. It can be insidious ... sans the counterbalance of understanding, it can lead to very ungrounded behaviours and manifestations.

Calls are deep knowings accompanied by feelings of responsibility. They often produce physical agitation and a sense of urgency. When dealing with calls of attendance, we function from our strengths.

Just as event groups vary, individual callings differ. It's not unusual for them to come progressively, in stages with each new summons building on its predecessors. There's wisdom in the process … paths to commitment follow the lines of our development. We may spend years, decades even, wending our ways through unseen matters before we accept the charge of facilitator.

Know thyself. Evaluate yourself clearly, without the rose colored glasses of personal or external expectation. Declining the role is not passport to damnation and it doesn't make us bad people. I may fully appreciate a welder's art and craft … I may learn all I can about it … but my path may not be that of a welder.

That said, numbers of us do engage in the tasks of astral impingement. Many of us work alone ~ more correctly, alone in 3d ~ and we work without a standards manual. In my opinion, any how-to handbook for dealing with everything astral would be questionable.

I say this because I believe the times they are a-'changin'. It's not that what worked in the recent past ~ in recorded historical times ~ is invalid … rather, I think there is a very big possibility it's insufficient.

German psychologist and philosopher Karl Jaspers, when he published his work The Origin and Goal of History in 1949, released the notion of 'axial ages' into the collective. The term he coined referred to pivotal times of transition in which "… the spiritual foundations of humanity were laid simultaneously and independently …"

According to theory, the first axial shift occurred in the period from 800 bce to 200 bce. It gave rise to the foundations of civilization ~ economic, social, and political ~ and it birthed the world's religions. Since public introduction of the idea, axial age reality has been bandied about … some dismiss it; others have expanded it, suggesting additional axial ages as well as the fact we are either in one, or on the cusp of one, now.

I suspect multiple axial ages have occurred ~ some poking into larger time frames like overlooked little ice ages … some so ancient as to be evident only in trace memories of Atlantis and Lemuria. I also agree with the premise that one is underway. Entire new sets of conceptions and behaviour are taking shape.

What does this have to do with astral entanglement? Two things:
(1) I suspect astral consciousness is aware of the change, fully intent on taking advantage of diminished institutional holds on 3d reality.
(2) I believe it's foolhardy for us to rely solely on past definitions and models. Now is the time to envision with new eyes.

The #3 … Triskele Formation and Buzzsaws in Consciousness

In his 1938 work, Medieval Number Symbolism, Vincent Hopper noted: … a single occurrence is of no statistical significance … a second occurrence might be coincidence … a third, however, gives the impress of law.

Across civilizations and for who knows how long, the number three has been crowned special. Contrary to what some writers say, the significant triple is not exclusively a western concept … the I Ching's hexagrams, for example, are composed of two figures of three lines each ~ double trigrams.

Since the why and the how of threes may well have practical application with a quantum twist, let's try to get a handle on the number's mannerisms and techniques.

We all have repertoires of stock concerns keeping our minds busy ~ family matters, jobs, finances, health issues, favorite interests, must do lists, want to do lists, etc. We're conditioned, voluntarily and involuntarily, to ignore what isn't pertinent.

These walls-pass-not are defense against incoming data to help us maintain focus. Advertisers spend bookoo bucks trying to break through our liminal barriers. Current marketing wisdom holds it takes a minimum of 3, sometimes 6, but most generally 9 exposures to a product for a potential buyer to notice and form an opinion about it.

hm-hm-hm-hm-hmmmmm … 3 or a multiple of 3. Could it be that humanity is hardwired to heed the number and its multiples? Nothing's impossible and some things are probable. What is clear is that three is a trigger.

By function, it appears astral energy spikes from invisible astral batteries/nodes (just like propaganda and sales campaigns from behind the scenes mind control specialists) have purpose:
event #1 = The Harbinger … fixes an astral hook in the physical;
event #2 = The Setter … establishes the relevant field of operation;
event #3 = The Activator … breaks through the threshold of consciousness.

The symbol that best approximates this triple whammy is the triskele … this is the venerable three armed, three legged, three appendaged image associated with rotating movement. This motion-oriented template is especially meaningful … because a thought or intention of any origin loosed into the collective absolutely has the ability to hack through it like a buzzsaw.

Several months ago I mentioned I was harping on astral matters because I felt they are an unacknowledged element of entanglement in modern society and that it behooves those of us whose purpose is to assist in transformation processes to know the circumstances and characteristics of the realities we encounter.

I still feel that way. Detecting harbinger events is a first step toward thwarting havoc wrecking, astral-serving destruction ... knowing astral intrusions strive for buzzsaw status is a new informational tool.

Whether we deploy as warriors at the outset of an astral series or later as healers, there's a quantum catch: … the observed and the observer have a relationship ~ to insure we don't further fuel matters, we must function consistently with clarity and without responsive passion.

Admittedly, we're walking a fine edge here but I truly believe it is possible to follow the admonition of the Roman physician, Galen: … Above All ~ Do No Harm.

Repetition = Key to Identifying Astral Networks

In the astral entanglement quest, what do we have so far?

In the astral, we've got a network of holding cells. The purpose of the cells is dual: … they collect energies from 3d events … and they release energies into new events. This process creates cycles.

In normal 3d reality, we've got seemingly unrelated hairball events happening over time which contain like ~ and sometimes identical ~ energy signatures and patterns.

Depicting an astral network as it appears from the astral plane is the easy part … delineating it from the 3d perspective is something else.

Astral entanglement indicators in 3d defy logic. More often than not, they are patently, convolutedly, implausible and dubious ... they're routinely discounted as figments of fertile imaginations. Nonetheless, coincidental flukes and statistical anomalies are hallmarks of astral provocation.

And just what would these flukes be? Well, this is the tricky, messy part … they can be anything. Physical objects as well as the notations used to identify them ~ names, numbers, dates, modes of transportation (airplanes), types of buildings (schools), etc. ~ are easily spotted. Less visible are embedded sequences ~ alliterations, numbers in series ~ and the frequent presence of objects or images, of words or phrases, of colors or shapes.

Whatever they happen to be, they're detectable by virtue of their repetition.

Repetition is cardinal. In addition to signifying astral entanglement activity, repetition reveals something about the nature of the networks themselves: … while they appear disjointed, astral networks are not altogether chaotic. This is precisely what the German root word for entanglement ~ verschränkung ~ implies.

Good examples are things in threes: … three planes crash … three celebrities die … three friends take ill ... three cars wreck at an intersection. Trilogies aren't solely an astral standard … but triple-manifestation is one modus operandi.

Astral Nodes … Anatomy and Feeding

Nodes are points marking intersections where two or more objects or phenomenon converge … this is their simplest description. In astronomy-speak, they are points where orbits cross planes.

In organic contexts, they are more than points: … they are points+. In botany, nodes refer to joints in stems and branches on trees … the plus being a visible product of growth.

Anatomically, they are knot-like masses of tissue … they are either part of a structure, like the lymph system, or seemingly stand alone encasements, like cysts. This anatomical plus refers to node capacity to collect and hold some volume of matter.

These scholastic definitions hold true for unseen realities as well. Thought nodes arise whenever notions intersect. Without energy input, thought nodes amount to little more than minute dots in the ethers. Thoughts invigorated with any type of feeling, however, constitute a horse of a different color … interest adds pluses to points.

By way of a highly unlikely example, if I bothered to ponder Paris Hilton's behaviour for a day, the trail of thought nodes I'd generate would require a microscope to track. That's because I really don't give a hoot ... I cannot muster any enthusiasm for things Paris.

The only node that might stand out from the bulk would be the one created the moment I kicked my doofus butt for wading around in absurdity … there's a real possibility that chastising thought would flick out as an emotional spike with a touch of substance!

To the eye of the publicity hungry whale of a machine that is the PH syndicate, these doppy musings might resemble a cloud of delicious plankton. My self-disciplining emotion spike, in all fairness, might equate to a morsel of embedded krill. Regardless, the entire set of nodes would have little density ... they'd be a fog of astral fodder.

The point is: … greater feelings at intersections create proportionally more vitalized nodes. Like the battery and 3d plug example earlier: … the process is interactive. The difference is that when we do the thinking, we are the batteries providing juice. Node umph is very much a matter of personal investment, of passion and emotion.
