My wife Lynne said one evening as we reasoned together, “Ride the wave”. She had been talking about suffering, herself, with the charged full moon that we just experienced and the events of the day. “Surf the wave”, I added, acting out a man on a surfboard.
This post is about using meditation to ride the wave of personal unfolding, national unfolding, collective consciousness unfolding, world unfolding, and solar system unfolding with the planets doing their astrological dance which some of us pay attention to. Riding the wave to manage difficult times is something we all have to learn to do. In these days of difficult times.
The Times
As amateur astrologers, we pay attention to the dance of the planets as a metaphor for the times we are in. From our sanctuary, we daily observe the goings in the skies and in the world. We have a reality show going on in our living room in blazing color and sound. The Ukrainian war, democracy at risk, climate change.
It’s hard. Moment, by moment. Day by day. Dysfunctionality occurring all around us. And yet, somehow, unfolding as it should. (Now I know that sounds heretical. “As it should”. In my mind there’s no way that what is going on is as it should be. But it is.)
It is What It Is
The obvious way to know that things are as they should be is because it is what it is. It hasn’t turned out any other way but this way. This show before us is the way the Universe is turning out, in its unfoldment. And it is happening in this country the way it is because of our collective consciousness.
The unfoldment of our collective consciousness and unconsciousness is happening before our very eyes. Along with our culture and our history. Where we are is as far as we have come. We each have our individual view of what’s going and what “should” be going on. Our individual views get dumped into the mix so that the color of paint we are painting our lives with is the sum total color we all have contributed to.
The Trajectory is Upward, Ever Upward
And it’s dark right now. But our collective dysfunctionality is unfolding perfectly. As it should. As it has to. So that we transform and grow as a nation. As individuals. As a planet. This is the march of history, slowly and steadily onward and upward. However, like any road, it has its ups and downs.
Our species unfolding is in an ever so slow trajectory upward. Winding and winding. Circling and circling back, but each time on a slightly higher plane. If you live long as long as I have, you begin to see the bigger pattern of the moments strung together into days and into weeks and into months and into years and into a lifetime.
Meditation Helps
I’m glad I don’t suffer over it all so much anymore. My longer view, and my use of my Higher Consciousness Meditation process, leads me to conclude that there is nothing that needs to be suffered over because it is all going to turn out. Not in a way, I could ever have imagined, necessarily, but it does turn out. My job becomes about staying centered — as much in a state of awareness and peacefulness as I possibly can be. This is the best that I have to offer. Some people join the fray. I meditate.
Meditation helps. I keep coming back and back to elevated consciousness. To my Awareness of Presence. Out of the confluence of forces happening in Blair World. The world I inhabit. The world I create. And the world that creates me.
Relax and Recognize the Patterns
I’ve decided that I might as well relax. And enjoy the ride. And be amazed at the story that is getting told. Day by day. A reality show. Like the Kardashians. What are they going to do next? Who knows? Wait and see. And participate as a co-creator with eyeballs lent to the scene.
The trick to riding the wave is to recognize the pattern. Waves building up, waves crashing, waves subsiding, waves building back up again. It helps to meditate on the cycles, the coming and going of the waves in the ocean we occupy. And to not get taken over by the details of the events.
Observe them with great interest. And keep the vibration of my energy elevated so that I can contribute positively to the whole. Live my version of living a human life from the most peaceful and impeccable place I can. For myself and for the Universe.
Getting and staying peaceful helps all of that. It calms the mind down. It engages personal and collective Spirit. It enables us to choose the Light rather than darkness. Spirit awakens and flows. The hot mess begins to cool. The fevered temperature of the country will begin to subside.
Maybe.
Conclusion. The Pendulum
We cannot and should not let the darkness overwhelm us. The pendulum will swing back eventually, and we’ll see the progress we’ve made, individually and collectively, under duress. Those who know meditation can ride the wave and not get sucked under. I say this to myself from a place of mindfulness as I remind myself, “Peace, be still”. And becoming peaceful adds a drop of peace to the pond of our outcome. For me, for us, and for the Universe’s.
Blessed be. The ALL is comforted. “This too shall pass”.
