Opening to Non-Ordinary Realms

Inexplicable events can appear in our lives. They encourage us to dip our toes in the pool of vaster awareness. Don’t dismiss these golden opportunities to know yourself in a new way.

Non-Ordinary Events: Occurrences that cannot be understood through the limited perceptions of your conscious mind. These events show up when a person is ready to expand their awareness in subtle realms. Author’s definition

Seventh Summer

We were ten siblings rolling around in the back of our dad’s green truck. A magical, mystical tour on an island surrounded by emerald green water. I heard my mother’s voice pipe up in the cab. “Look at that sweet country church. Let’s stop so the kids can look around and I can take a peek inside.”

I saw a vast and appealing graveyard surrounding the church and stretching across the street. Mossy stone walls spoke of history. We all headed off in different directions.

I wandered down the hill, reading older gravestones, noting how many babes were nestled next to their mothers. Life was full of survival challenges. Few lived long enough to see old age.

Drifting along, I was surprised to hear my inner voice. “Go lie down in that nice patch of grass. Over there, by the wildflowers.” Although young, I understood my voice was a direct link to other dimensions and never ignored it.

Happy to oblige, I burrowed my back into a sun warmed nook. Staring into deep blue, forever sky. Then it came. The shift I had been sensing.

An orb began to rise from the earth. My body was centered in the middle. I rotated my head slowly from side to side, marveling as it rose. It was a luminous, intricate web of oscillating light patterns, emitting a high frequency, oddly comforting sound.

It was the most exquisite thing I’d ever seen.

I sensed immersion in a pure state of feeling, free of fear and no thoughts. A state of Grace. A previous initiation during the spring of my sixth year had prepared me for this experience.

I could feel my body aligning with the harmonic frequency as I too began to rise. Until I lay suspended and levitating in the center of the fully risen orb.

A flash of bright light erupted to my left and a marvelous show began. I witnessed the moment of my conception in this lifetime.

Then the lights showed me my growth in the womb, birth and several of the experiences I had in my seven years. It happened very fast. I didn’t know what I was seeing, but I knew it was a Divine moment.

The vision produced a trail of events to come. My eyes shifted right, tracking the arc of light. I saw myself as an old woman who traveled the stream of pulsating light, then disappeared.

A new cycle emerged from my left side as the wheel of life continued spinning the endless cycle of infinity.

I have no idea how long this vision lasted. After completing its transmission, the orb glided smoothly back into the ground. It continued sinking until there was no sign it had ever existed.

My body hummed and adapted to new frequencies. The adjustments to my nervous system greatly soothed me.

“Becky! Where is she? That girl is always off somewhere. I asked you two to keep an eye on her.”

Mother’s voice brought me zooming fully back into embodiment land. A brother came running.

“We’ve been looking for you everywhere! Didn’t you hear us calling?”

He was a known stranger. Everything seemed familiar, yet new at the same time.

My inner voice chimed once again. “DO NOT tell anyone what happened. They won’t believe it. You’ll begin to think it’s not real. But it is.”

This was my first experience with Sacred Geometry within the Earth. The planets in our solar system weave their own designs with another form of Sacred Geometry. Gaia reflects their work in her own way. As above, so below.

Thus began my first year of self education in “The School of Direct Life Experience.” If it happened to me, it was real.

Ley lines under the ground support a vast grid of Light communication. This is only one of the ways Gaia rebalances and supports her own energy. It’s always in motion and taking place in every part of the world.

Tibetans have known about this network for centuries. Lamas embedded teachings or ‘Termas’ into the ground to protect them from harm. Years might pass before a match of frequencies is made and the ‘Terma’ releases.

I experienced one of these teachings standing in front of the four-story-high Blue Medicine Buddha wall near Lhasa, Tibet. This Buddha is the healing Buddha and my life work was in the Healing Arts. Our alignment was a match.

I received this transmission and knowledge through tidal waves of the emotions, pleas and prayers both pilgrims and others had petitioned over centuries of time. They were so potent I shook with their power and tears poured out of me without containment.

They began coursing through my body when I placed my forehead against the wall, entering the ground, and cycling back through my body in a loop. This connection and cleansing uplifted my level of compassion and empathy for others to a profound degree. I would realize this later.

A monk caretaker of the site witnessed my encounter with the non-ordinary and was able to ‘see’ what was happening. When I was leaving he came up to me, bowed several times with a namaste gesture and spoke to me in Tibetan. This was my affirmation of the non-ordinary event that had taken place.

Non-ordinary states appear at timed intervals in our lives. An opportunity arises to lift yourself out of your normal boundaries. The lens widens.

If we shrink back in skepticism, fear or disinterest we miss the opportunity for accelerated growth. A teaching moment has arrived for you alone and for a reason. Be bold, engage your Starship Unknown.

Our minds contain the information we’ve gleaned through education or experience. This can be considerable but remains limited in depth and scope. Our hearts contain information from our souls and guide us toward our evolution.

This knowing or ‘gnosis’ is our direct link to Divine, Source, God, or whatever you choose to call it. Our labels make no difference.

Our hearts also let us know when we are receiving a true teaching versus a limited one from a human teacher with issues. There seems to be an abundance of those during this time. One reason why I encourage others to develop and use their own internal guidance system.

We hold many more senses than those identified. The non-ordinary, subtle realms demonstrate that fact and greatly expand our perceptual awareness.

Senses such as intuition and emotional anatomy are more abstract and require attention to develop. We aren’t taught about these finely tuned, hidden determiners and yet they create the bulk of our attractions and actions.

The more heed we pay to our intuition the stronger it becomes. Our heightened sensitivity opens the door to a new array of subtle sensing. This highly refined sensing creates the world of frequencies in which we operate and thrive.

The more attention we pay to our intuition and relax our censors, the more likely non-ordinary experiences will appear in our life. Your soul is pleased you’re taking note of your Inner Instructor.

It has a Big Bash and starts throwing novel events your way. Non-ordinary events you can’t ignore. Because it happened to you.

I went through a trial period in a marriage years ago and retreated to an island in Spain to reset my balance in a supportive environment. When I returned home six months later, a friend came to dinner. We speculated on our future paths and described our aspirations.

I told her I would never remarry. Another commitment was not for me. She laughed, then insisted I make a list of qualities I would be attracted to in a partner.

I handed the list over and she rolled her eyes. I had placed a partner with a cabin on my favorite island on the top of the list.

“I didn’t ask you to get that specific. We were talking about qualities. This is way too narrow a bandwidth! Who’s going to show up with that qualification.”

A week later I ran into a former yoga student who told me she was starting a class I might be interested in called Soul Play. The name intrigued me. I called the instructor to see if we could have a meeting.

We set up an interview in his studio the next day. The door was opened by a familiar face. I had a powerful, lucid dream the night before I returned to the States.

I was lying on the ground next to a man I had never seen before. We had been staring into each other’s eyes when an earthquake hit. Our bodies rode Earth together as she shook and heaved. We knew we would thrive by this upheaval and regeneration.

This was the person who opened the door.

Our interview went well and I joined the class to come. Upon leaving, he gave me his card. I saw two phone numbers on it. One number was in the city and the other, yep, magical island. We’re still together after 32 years, another non-ordinary event.

The present time is a perfect one to admit we don’t know squat about what’s going to happen tomorrow or even tonight.

We can become static and stuck on one frequency, like a damaged vinyl record repeating the same lyric ad nauseum. Refusing to budge past our boundaries. This stagnant situation can activate non-ordinary events. They jump out of the closet in a last ditch attempt to blast your senses and beliefs into foreign territory.

Hanging in your stifling comfort zone is no longer an option. It’s overpopulated and too chaotic there anyway. There’s an energetic Express heading your way. It’s called the Non Ordinary Line.

You might hesitate then figure, why not jump aboard to check it out. Doors click open instead of shut and uh oh, there you go.

This ride weaves a wild journey through exotic turf but somehow delivers you back home with a new, improved version of your former self.

Trust your Self and allow yourself to open to an amplified version of who you truly are. You won’t regret it.
