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.

Altered States of Consciousness and Perception

Normal 3d states of consciousness routinely morph into altered states of consciousness during energy work. ASCs vary in nature and depend most heavily on the natural attributes of practitioners.

Healers, for example, who are medically intuitive may perceive visuals ... images of a person's body with color highlights indicating areas of malfunction. Where one sees in color, another equally adept practitioner may sense via objects or sound … heavy metal contamination may look like an anvil or a frying pan, pinched nerves may sound like fingernails scraping a blackboard.

An intestinal blockage may make a healer feel like s/he is lugging a belly full of golf balls. Yet another may recognize the acrid aroma of dis-ease or catch whiff of an herb the body needs to augment its immune system. Many receive guidance from higher consciousness and angelic helpers.

There's no set standard in ASC perceptions … as a consequence, decoding them is a lot like interpreting dreams. With practice, however, workers become familiar with their personal penchants and develop repertoires for future reference.

My primary bent is toward the visual with auditory assists. What has become evident to me as well is that my role is often on the periphery. I work with environments surrounding subjects ~ which often turn out to be not people but the functional energies manifest in circumstances enveloping them.

One example of this is end of life transitions. In these settings, I am regularly an auxiliary facilitator, tasked with clearing emotional fields, subduing charged energy barbs and providing support in terms the individual as well as his/her relatives and friends accept.

While the calls I receive are sometimes local, the preponderance is non-local. 911 was the pivotal event that made me aware of my general propensity … it was also where it dawned on me that the supporting niche I fill includes assisting others also called to help.

There is no question whatsoever in my mind that many of us experienced analogous epiphanies then. It does not matter whether we are acquainted in 3d or cyberspace ... it's of no import if we are complete strangers from different lands ... the etheric connections created at that time, I have zero doubt, now serve as our operational templates when need arises and calls got out.

Dynamic Astral … Nodes ~ Batteries & 3d Plugs

Collective subsets are invisible and real … they are also dynamic.

In a collective subset, there are two aspects of dynamic to consider: … (1) between individuals and (2) between 3d and invisible astral anchors. We've touched on the first; now let's look at the second.

The simplest illustration is the connection that sets up between two points or, more properly, nodes. In the bare bones example above, the invisible astral is represented by the battery and the 3d complement by the plug. Although it's not neat and tidy, the entire subset could be called a field or a sphere.

In this arrangement, energy from an astral storage cell wouldn't have a problem hauing pattotti to an engaged receiver. Batteries, though, are famous for running out of juice … which brings up the question of how an astral set up might gather sufficient energy to perpetuate itself.

I believe this process is what I witnessed at the site of the school shootings a year ago. I was called to the location in what I thought at the time were psychopomp and healing contexts. Once there, it was apparent those roles were attended and I had been called to serve in another capacity ~ as best I could tell at the time, I was supposed to observe a hole in the ground.

To save you the boredom of reading back, here's the abridgment:
" … the hole opened into a tube with a multitude of forked off, smaller branches. It wasn't red but it reminded me of the body's circulatory system. It's inaccurate to say it wasn't pumping anything into the 3d scene because it may have been ... it was laboring to hold its field of manifestation.

However, its primary objective was to drain the scene ... it was a furious energy sucking vacuum cleaner. Instead of funneling into a central canister, the energy acquisitions surged ~ harum-scarum and at breakneck speed ~ through tunnelettes. I couldn't see where any of them were ultimately headed but I felt sure they wouldn't end up in dead end receptacles."

What this means to me: … astral systems collect emotional energies from violent 3d events. The systems have windows of opportunity in which to do this. Energies syphoned from a brutal scene are funneled into resonant astral storage cells ~ batteries ~ where they are held until another 3d node plugs itself into the invisible system or field.

This astral collection and distribution model sheds light on the seemingly improbable connections between event groups. They are not copycat events … they are alike because each one utilizes the energies provided by another.

More importantly to my mind, this explanation offers potential strategy to quell negative energy flows. For lightworkers, healers, shamanic practitioners, energy workers ~ all who attend the human condition in the etheric ~ knowing the feed lines can be severed is more than a little significant.

The Greater Whole & Collective SubSets

The notion unseen networks of thought and emotion affect human behaviour isn't novel.

Everything that exists is a part of The Greater Whole. That Which Is, indeed, is the grand and awesome Totality, the Mystery worthy of ponderment … knowing It is the goal of mystics, of science and religion alike.

That Which Is ~ the universe, multiverses and all of creation anywhere and everywhere ~ isn't easy to think, though … it's really, really, really big! In normal consciousness, size alone renders it impossible to fathom.

What people do, instead, is focus on smaller units, on countless sub-collectives. For the most part and without passing judgment, we rely on subsets borne of cultural affiliation ~ local, regional, national ~ religion, politics, class, gender, appearance, etc. to define and position ourselves.

Resonant bonds between individuals within subsets are products of agreed upon, communally honored, foundational thought forms that underpin peer groups and societies. Despite invisibility, subsets are quite real.

The moment a sub-collective takes precedence in thought over The Greater Whole, there is division. Division + human capacity to categorize and judge = oft certain birth of polarity.

Besides effectively easing the onus of personal inquiry into the vast Everything, polarity creates framework through which we can easily identify who we are, here and now, in terms of recognizable relationship. We know which end is up, who's who in the pecking order and what to expect … these are is polarity's practical conveniences.

Within the boundaries of collective thought forms, we can find comfort being one of the better these instead of one of the less desirable those … it's flawed, yes, but still one honkingly seductive rating scale!
