Mystic Minutes: Centering Upgrade

Mystic Musings: What To Do When Life Gets Lifey

 What To Do When Life Gets Lifey ©2023 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

The last couple years have been a deep dive into density. It has mostly been a process of being present with others creating their own reality, walking with them through their experiences. 

One has made a miraculous (the oncologist actually used this word) recovery. Another is slowly getting better. And another is still climbing out of the wreckage.

I'd play with Consciousness techniques whenever I could come up for air.

There have been times I've been so under water, there was no coming up.

And while all this was going on, I was volunteering with an organization at a world level, where I started an annual zoom January marathon, starting at noon in New Zealand and ending at noon in Hawaii (24 hours later but on the same day). The last one had over 3,000 attendees. And created a weekend workshop the last two years in June, which was actually 3 simultaneous workshops happening spanning time zones around the world.

I'm in the midst of final planning this year's June workshop which will have 4 simultaneous workshops, one in English, one in Spanish, one in Russian, and one multi-lingual (several languages).

In July I complete my time with this organization, in August I'm going to Spain to see my son, and in September... I'm very curious to see what September brings.

It's been such a strange mix of expansion and contraction, exhilaration and dealing with extraordinarily painful things, all at the same time. While flying back and forth to New York every month.

But movement happened and reality is reorganising so I am home most of the summer. It's taken me a solid month to do a video and to attempt this blog.

There have been times these last three years that I have wondered why, when I'm such a lofty and advanced spiritual being doing all these amazing international events, I'm also down in the dregs dealing with such pain and misery.

And the answer is - one, we're all lofty and advanced spiritual beings and two, life is an adventure in density and effort.

The more capable beings create the more difficult lifetimes.

We're all capable beings.

So, life gets lifey, life doesn't stop being lifey, and it really becomes how you manifest through it's density. You can resist it and create a lot more effort, or you can navigate it with Consciousness.

In late January my sister-in-law went through five weeks of radiation treatment, meant to eliminate any micro remnants of cancer. It meant we took daily trips to Manhattan from Flushing, which took about an hour each way on the subway. Many subway riders take little cat naps, so I decided to close my eyes and play with Consciousness techniques. Halfway through her treatment, back in Seattle my son was attacked in an attempted robbery, which suddenly brought me home early.

I expected playing with Consciousness on a regular basis was going to lift me up to more lofty levels. Silly me.

Instead, it's requiring me to play the reality game with ninja skills gained over the last forty years.

I create my reality as Consciousness. As Consciousness it's all about creativity. As Consciousness, challenging things are fun. 

So I'm just going to take things a moment at a time, and play with Consciousness techniques, and see what happens.

Grief and Loss

Grief and Loss ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

When I entered my sixties, I realized, in order to live a long time that I'd have to get used to grief and loss. Amongst other things.

Not that I hadn't had plenty of experience with grief and loss in the preceding sixty years. 

However in recent years there's been some wrenching losses, individually and collectively. How I've handled it in the past is to compartmentalize it. I usually go into action mode, "fight" more than "flight". 

I can grieve later, I decide at the time.

There's a practical reality to this, as usually there's no one else to rely on or pick up the pieces. I don't feel I have the "luxury" to collapse in grief. As I write this, I realize that grieving isn't a sign of weakness, and it doesn't have to bring collapse. I can grieve and I can be in action at the same time.

The part of me that is grieving is the part of me that perceives loss. It's the part of me that wants security and stability, and believes those things are in relationships, and material things like a roof over one's head.

It's the part of me that isn't going to make it out of this lifetime alive, so views everything in very black and white terms.

As Consciousness, I don't feel grief nor loss, because I know I am always connected with my loved ones, whether they're in physical form or not. As I write this, I also realize I'm always connected with loved ones not yet in physical form as well. Which delights me.

As Consciousness, I don't need a location for security, as I'm creating all of this in the moment. I don't need security, either. Security doesn't make sense to one that is infinite, All that Is, creating all things.

However, also as Consciousness I've created this form, my body/personality, and am aware of it's needs and desires. 

When I live life *as* Consciousness with a physical form and personality, it doesn't mean marching forwards as if its needs don't matter. That's like riding a horse and neglecting to give it water, abandoning at night when wolves howl. 

As Consciousness, life means experiencing every delicious and difficult aspect of being in physical form. It actually doesn't mean marching forwards towards anything. That is a body level kind of measurement.

Also just realized that living "a long time" is also a body level measurement. Of course bodies want to live as long as possible.

Being in the present moment, is as close to feeling the infiniteness of Consciousness as you can feel.

As a collective, we've been through an enormous amount of grief and loss in the last year or two. We've been experiencing an accelerated shift in Consciousness that heightens our awareness but also our empathy with others. This magnifies grief and loss as we're not just feeling our own emotions.

We're also losing everything we thought was real, but actually was just egoic levels of importance. That's not to invalidate people who lost loved ones during the pandemic. People have transitioned to nonphysical in increasing numbers during this time. That's been hard to handle, we miss their physical presence and the prevalent "noise" makes it difficult to connect with them Spirit to Spirit. They're still there but it's like a bad cell phone connection - easier to talk to but harder to hear.

Evolving to a new level means letting go of what was familiar, and we may fight it even if what was familiar wasn't comfortable. We might be so used to being in pain and unhappy, we're resisting taking steps that would improve our lives or expand our quality of living.

When I'm in that place (and I kinda sorta in that place right now in certain areas), I don't need to immediately leap to being perfectly pain free and joyously happy all the time. Although as Consciousness, I can easily do so. For my body's sake, I can take baby steps to change. 

 

Making Friends With Laziness

 Making Friends With Laziness ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

At my brother's Physical Therapist there was a stature of a young monk sitting with Ganesha, the Hindu Elephant God. Or so I thought. Ganesha represents luck and abundance. 

I took a photo and sent it to my husband, who texted back that it's not Ganesha at all, but a Buddhist story, the young monk is seeking enlightenment and the black elephant represents laziness. Eventually it turns white after the monk overcomes it.

 It seemed fitting for a PT's office, my brother needs to do a lot of hard, physical work to overcome his disability. It's an uphill battle as he's naturally sedentary. 

But today I see it from another perspective. 

Today I'm seeing it from the perspective of self care. I'm notoriously bad at self care. The only time I took a nap in recent memory was after my second COVID vaccine. On the other hand, my brother takes frequent naps. He needs them for his stroke-injured brain to recover.

Making friends with laziness doesn't mean letting it take over your life. It's allowing for balance. Inactivity can be restorative. Resisting laziness can mean you spin your wheels with a lot of activity that doesn't really get you anywhere.  Often you need to stop trying to make things happen in order for things to manifest in a bigger way, beyond your own imagination.

Havingness

Havingness ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

I have recently achieved Alaska’s Gold 75+ elite status. These miles were earned the hard way, flying super saver fares, sitting in the far back of the plane (by the rest rooms), every month for the last three years. In 2020, I racked up 75k during the pandemic. I must have visited every Covid testing place in Long Island.

I have recently achieved Alaska’s Gold 75+ elite status. These miles were earned the hard way, flying super saver fares, sitting in the far back of the plane (by the rest rooms), every month for the last three years. In 2020, I racked up 75k during the pandemic. I must have visited every Covid testing place in Long Island.

Because Alaska has gone back to making super saver fares nonrefundable (they were allowing the fees to go into wallet to be reused), I’ve had to start spending $40 more for tickets since my sister-in-law’s chemo schedule is only confirmed 4-6 weeks at a time. I currently have flights booked for the next three months.

Main cabin fares bring perks I hadn’t anticipated. Yesterday morning, I got an email saying I was upgraded to First Class, seat 4C. I was chuffed.

This morning they announced they had to change to a smaller plane and were oversold. Everyone’s seat assignment changed. They would assign seated at the gate.

I sat at the airport waiting to find out what mine was going to be.

Just before we started boarding I discovered my new seat was 8D. Two rows behind first class. Premium has extra leg room. My seats mates are a mom, a kid, and a dog.

Still better than 36D.

So this got me reflecting on Havingness. The ability to have. Everything in our reality reflects our havingness. Our creation as Consciousness.

Here’s the thing. There is no good nor bad as Consciousness. Everything reflects Consciousness’ creativity. If your life is full of crap, it’s equally as creative as a life full of blessings.

If you want to expand your havingness, you have to let go of your preconceived and unconscious notions of what you can or can’t have.

So my havingness didn’t quite expand to First Class this trip, but it easily slid into Premium class.

I’ve been helping my brother and sister in law since September 2018, three weeks a month. The first two and a half years of flying to NYC every month from Seattle, I slept on the sofa in the living room of their apartment. This February they moved to a 2 bedroom apartment and I got the second bedroom. For the time being, when she retired they’ll probably have to rent it but by then I hope to only be coming out ten days a month or less. 

My havingness upped to having my own room but hasn’t expanded to being home more.

I’m expanding in other ways, however. Internally I’ve expanded in emotional maturity. I’ve become less introverted and better able to work in teams. My relationships with husband and adult kids are good.

Flying first class would be a fun perk. But the real expansion is as Consciousness, and the ripple effect is infinite.

Upgrading God

 Upgrading God ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

Last weekend I was at a conference where a white judge from Texas (not acting in his professional capacity but using his legal expertise to manipulate our voting system) wanted to enforce a rigid and antiquated interpretation of the group's guidelines. It excludes the experience of a large number of participants. He did something like this last year, which led to 12 months of discord and contention within the organization.

This year the majority of attendees expressed a desire to be inclusive. He managed to get the last word in before the first gathering was ending, with an attempt to back up his claims using gender specific terms for God.

His viewpoint is that if we expand our interpretation, the organization will die.

What's actually dying, is old paradigms of power, old paradigms of gender, old paradigms of privilege and exclusivity. It's his version of reality that is dying. His attempt to exert control, if successful, would lead to the death of the organization.

But that's not going to happen, because the majority of members are committed to growth and clarity.

I'm working with a mentee who was raised in a conservative religious cult, and the male gendered version of God was actually preventing her spiritual growth. I suggested calling God "she", and it completely expanded her worldview. She uses "Goddess" in her prayers and feels more trusting that it's a benevolent Universe.

A few years ago, I went through yet another frigging upgrade from the 5D one I already went through in 2006. I'd already experienced the Universe being benevolent. I liked that version of spiritual software. But in 2016, my version of God expanded. As a child I was raised Presbyterian, with the old man with a beard God who was also punishing, non-forgiving, and withholding. In my early twenties, it changed to the Universe, that I could call on ("Hey, U"!) any time and feel everything surrounding me become sharper and brighter. When I went to Findhorn times in my late thirties, I experienced being enveloped in Love, and when I studied with David Spangler in my early forties, I experienced that same Love again, falling into it fearing I would lose myself and yet finding myself more clearly defined within it.

But then it became Consciousness, and I Am Consciousness, both encompassing and within. And it wasn't just accessing God Within, it was Consciousness within and the absolute knowing that I Am Consciousness.

And that really tripped me up. It was so foreign to the belief that God is a power greater than you, an intelligence greater than myself, something to surrender to, turn my will and my life over to the care of...

How do I do that when it's me? Consciousness doesn't have a heirarchy. There's no more than or less than. You don't give up space to it. It doesn't make sense to. 

So I spent a good four years arm wrestling with it, feeling almost atheist. 

And now it's turning around. I Am Consciousness and the part of me that is arm wrestling myself is my body personality, my horse. When I operate as Consciousness, everything lines up and manifests easily and effortlessly.

Consciousness is greater than the Hologram. It's greater than the avatar playing in the hologram. And yet it is the life force within every cell that makes up the character that is me and the seemingly solid objects within the hologram.

There is no power in the hologram and to try to shadow box with it will make you feel powerless.

Drop the fight and more possibilities open up. 

But I also realize that this experience of Consciousness is not fixed. It expands, it contracts. Because it's Earth the opposite will feel true. 

We're all going through a Consciousness upgrade. For some of us we've gone to our general settings and clicked "Install now".  For some of us it's going to happen while we sleep and when we wake up we'll discover half of our apps no longer work.

In my experience, it's a lot more pleasant to click 'Install now" and be in agreement with the expansion than to remain unconscious.

What do you want to do?

Projections

 Projections  ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

I’ve had some interesting experiences recently being the recipient of people’s projections. One person anticipated being judged for their being inconsistent with their schedule, one person was pissed that a project didn’t include more time zones. 

Also, I’ve had times when I’ve misjudged people because of my projections.

Projections are perceptions we view the world through (or are viewed by others). Just like a combat vet reacts to fireworks and thinks they’re back in a war zone. Energy gets projected onto people, places, things. It’s almost always negative. Sometimes it’s unrealistically positive, projecting someone is more angelic than they really are.

Projections mean that you’re not in the present moment, and you’re definitely not experiencing clarity. Clarity is simply the truth of what is. Truth can be ugly, but there’s also a feeling relief because it’s real. You can do something about reality. You can’t do anything about projections except spin your wheels.

How can we see things clearly? How can we be seen clearly?

The first question’s answer is simple (but not necessarily easy). Be in the present moment. Question your thoughts. If something is dramatic, or scary, or really, really bad, then it’s probably not real. Unless you really are in a war zone. But even then. When you’re really in a war zone, it’s more likely your senses get heightened and things slow down. That’s being in the present moment, being present with what is.

Our bodies are walking picture galleries. We’ll react to anything through our lenses from the past. Our minds will make up stories about what is going on around us, and we view the world through those movies.

Being still, being in the present moment, allows us to perceive clearly as Consciousness. If something is matter of fact, benevolent, or amusing, then it’s probably real.

How can we be seen clearly?

Well, we can’t change, fix or manipulate the pictures of others around us. We can only be centered in our own awareness. It’s more a matter of not resisting other’s projections. 

Sometimes, as we evolve, as we grow brighter, we’ll receive more projections. Because to others used to the dark, our light is hurting their eyes.

As we become more Conscious, we bump up against our own unconscious projections. We're so used to them, they're invisible to us. But they act as plexiglass walls to our own growth.

Collectively, we're all expanding to a newer, lighter, brighter reality. So even if it seems uncomfortable or dark right now, light is on the other side.

Mystic Minute: When You Want To Manipulate The Sh*t Out Of The Hologram

The End of The World (As We Know It)

The End of The World (As We Know It)  ©2021 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

I’m observing what is going on in the world today, and I’m seeing huge growth and expansion. In order for expansion to happen, however, old, restrictive patterns need to be released.

There’s an aspect of this that is natural. This planet is always in the midst of creating and destroying, disintegration and regeneration. Then there’s our man made, physical level of destruction and creation. We can see it evident in climate change and the effect of fossil fuels, but also in our creation of machines using alternative fuels, becoming more “green” in our building, more aware of our carbon footprint.

And then there’s cultural and societal changes, working towards equity and equality for all people.

I’ve spent the last forty years engaging more in the unseen realms, and here I am seeing more intensity than ever before. I believe it starts with the unseen and evolves to the physical, so what we’re witnessing in the work is a reaction to what it happening to all of us within. I think we haven’t experienced such enormous transformation in nearly two thousand years.

When you view it from the physical or even societal perspective it can feel like the end of the world as we know it. But it’s not the end of the world, just the world as we know it. You can feel like you’re dying. But it’s just the restrictive patterns that are going away. You can see prominent people in the news trying to reinforce restrictions, trying to drag the evolving world back to olden times. It’s not going to work, any more than trying to stop a tsunami with sandbags or a volcano with boulders.

It’s bigger than them. It’s bigger than their versions of reality. Evolution is happening whether it’s comfortable or not.

When you look at all of this from the perspective of Consciousness, you see it as light and patterns. Consciousness begins outside the hologram, but shows up in the hologram as vibration. It’s very high, very clear, and as it comes into form, it creates patterns of varying density. Bright light destroys shadows. High vibration shatters denser structures. We’re all experiencing being in the light in different ways.

Some of us are exhilarated. This is what we feel we are born for, to break rigid patterns, to bring in greater light. We’re on the leading edge, we’ve felt different than others, we’re excited to see the rest of the world catching up! Some of us are really uncomfortable. We’re born to stablize, to reinforce structures, to keep things in order. When we can open ourselves to the new things coming in, we can assist by helping to create foundations, to support and anchor the new into form.

All of us are either reinforcing patterns or breaking them. Reinforced patterns start as scaffolding for new creations for Consciousness to manifest through. Breaking old patterns allows new growth. 

It’s natural to resist, whether it’s resisting old patterns we feel are being imposed upon us, or whether it opportunity for new patterns that will actually allow us to manifest what we’ve been desiring for a long time.

When we resist old patterns, we feel imposed upon, we feel those outside are more powerful than we are. That is exactly the old that is in the process of dissolving and going away. When you stop resisting, you get your energy back and empower yourself.

When we resist new patterns, we stop ourselves from expanding into our next level of evolution. When you stop resisting your own growth, you effortlessly go forward into your True Self, who you really are (beyond your body and personality).

It’s the end of the world as we have known it, and the beginning of the new world better than we could possibly imagine.

Symbiotic Relationships 2019

©2019 Joan Newcomb
This is an updated version of a post from 2012

I’m in the midst of heavy duty care giving again, this time helping my younger brother recover from a stroke. It helps me to remember that in every situation, I’m receiving as well as giving. Right now there is healing occurring on many levels. My brother and I share a unique childhood, no one else in the family (who is still alive) experienced the things we experienced. And I’m benefiting in other ways, like getting to spend my weekends running around Manhattan. 

"Symbiotic Relationships"usually refers to two different species, such as barnacles on whales or birds on rhinos.  Barnacles grow on whales and live off of particles floating in the surrounding ocean that would otherwise affect the whale's vision.  Several kinds of birds feed off of insects that live on rhino's skin (you could say the insects themselves have a symbiotic relationship with their host).

It's also a good term for how we humans interact with each other.

Biology describes 5 different kinds of Symbiotic Relationships:

1. Mutualism, where both species benefit
2. Commensalism, where one species benefits, the other is unaffected
3. Parasitism, where one species benefits, the other is harmed
4. Competition, where neither species benefits
5. Neutralism, where both species are unaffected

(taken from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_symbiotic_relationship#ixzz20XXT5FYX)

It's an interesting way to look at your friends, family and coworkers!  Is your relationship Mutual, a 'win-win' for each person?  Are you and your partner, family member, or employer/coworker/customer equally benefiting? 

Is it Commensal you're getting something and they're not getting anything but it doesn't matter to them?  That's a tougher one to imagine.  Even if you feel you're putting out all the effort and getting nothing back, there's always something returning to you.

It gets a little messy when considering Parasites.  People aren't exactly ticks or noxious weeds, but you could look at some government officials being parasitical when they want tax breaks for themselves while withdrawing services for others. When I was a teenager, my father called my mother, my brother and I, “parasites”. Verbal abuse scars the soul. This is one of the childhood wounds I’m hoping I’m healing while I’m New York.

Biology defines Competition as where *neither* benefits.  Spiritually, competition stops growth and creativity, as it places your attention outside yourself.  Competition focuses not just on doing better than someone but in outdoing them.  In biology it affects survival.

Neutral is as tough to imagine as Commensal, because how can there be an interaction without being affected?

Unless you're roughing it on a desert island, we are all interdependent, no matter how alone or resistant you may feel.  No relationship is truly one way.  Even anonymously helping someone leaves you with a good feeling, just as using them leaves you feeling bad.

It can be disturbing to realize in a dysfunctional relationship you were actually getting something out of it.  Perhaps you were afraid to leave because you were still trying to get taken care of.  Perhaps you didn't want to take responsibility for yourself.  Perhaps their dysfunction made you seem normal!

We are all participating in a giant energetic tapestry called life.  Each of us is creating or emitting a colorful thread of our own unique vibration.  And from a broader perspective we've agreed to be here interacting with everyone else.  It's all good, even if we don't experience it that way at the moment.

This week, in your relationships, notice - are you the whale or the barnacle? The rhino or the bird?  The tree or the ivy?  It doesn't matter if you're big or little, you're receiving something from it!  Acknowledging the pattern can help you change it.  Recognizing your part or what you're receiving from it can help you accept it, and transform it if you want to.

Try this for 7 days and see what happens!

Off Kilter Wonkieness Is Reality Reorganizing

Off Kilter Wonkiness Is Reality Reorganizing ©2019 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC

It’s been a wonky week. The energy feels off kilter. I can’t put it down to Mercury Retrograde (although there’s definitely been some of that - communications and electronics mishaps).

But this reminds me of two years ago, at the time of the Brexit vote and then the U.S. election, where many of us felt sideswiped by the results. Back then it felt like being shoved into an alternate universe.

This feels reality is reorganizing. The pendulum swinging back into balance (I hope not before swinging to another extreme). It’s like the part of the movie where things start to get resolved.

In some ways it’s been annoying. Like knowing the end of the movie but not knowing *how* the story gets there.

And also knowing that we’re not done yet with wild, unpredictable, out of the blue, plot twists and turns.

To me, it’s all been an affirmation that we’re living in a hologram. Things that can’t possibly happen have been happening. It’s kind of like the Saturday Night Live writers have taken over the Cosmic screen play and they’re competing with each other for best skit. You think that today’s news cycle was outrageous? Hold my beer, the next comic says.

We can have a variety of reactions to what’s happening. We can hunker down and let things unfold. That can feel like reality is happening to us, but even no action is a chosen action.

We can resist and fight what’s happening. Try to make people listen to us. Make the government change their minds. Throw money at the problem. Move to another country.

That’s like wrestling with the scenery on a movie set. Shouting over other people’s lines. Or storming out of the room, as if that will change anything.

We can also engage and listen. Call, and write, and vote.

And those of us who dance to a different drum, who heed a higher calling, who may be feeling the wonkiness more than most, what can we do? Change our inner state, change our minds, shift our energy, step into a parallel universe where it’s all unfolding in our favor, where it’s a benevolent Universe, where it’s all unfolding in everyone’s favor.

Responding as Consciousness, you can be amused at the storyline. You can appreciate wonkiness. You can recognize that everything is validation that this is a hologram created by Consciousness. That everything is a story within the hologram (even this explanation is a story within the hologram).

The time is ripe to make this shift. And all it takes is a change of viewpoint. See yourself as greater Consciousness embodying into form. You love your body and your personality, it’s Your creation as a vehicle in this world, and a way to fully feel and engage in this world. Others are also Consciousness in form, other aspects of yourself, other players in this online game.

Yet reality is malleable, and others show up in your storyline but do not influence it without you creating it as part of your own plot. (And you show up in theirs the same way).

Playing in this way and at this level is effortless, fun, and enjoyable.

You inherently know all is very, very well.
