The Monument - a poem

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Not one of my poems this time, I found it in the house of Joan Hubrecht - an Aura-Soma teacher.  But I like it so I thought I would include it here.

God, before he sent each of his children to earth,

gave each of them a very carefully selected package of problems.

These, he promises smiling, are yours and yours alone.

No one else may have the blessings these problems bring you.

And only you have the special talents and abilities that will be needed to make these problems your servants.

Now you go down, to your birth and to your forgetfulness … know that I love you beyond measure.

These problems I give you are a symbol of my love.

The monument that you make of your life …

with the help of your problems …

will be a symbol of your love for me.

Your Father

This poem carries both a very pale blue energy – that of the heavenly Father from whose perspective it is written, and also towards the end a soft pink energy as the theme of love is introduced.

It is also interesting to me that that the word “blessing” which carries the idea of a spiritual gift from above, derives from the French word “blesser” which means “wound” – a place where we have been hurt. To be wounded – to be given a problem – is to be blessed.

This same idea also appears in the last meditation given by Osho. Entitled “Talking to the Body Mind” It offers a profoundly healing process that echoes the deepest principles of the Aura-Soma system. I hope to be able to provide a link to buy this cd in the near future … till then , best wishes

Skiing and Equilibrium

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Half way through a skiing holiday and a couple of thoughts about skiing and the Aura-Soma Equilibrium colour combinations; one from long ago and one from today.

Several years ago I was riding up a chairlift and saw beneath me a demonstration of fantastic skiing prowess. An elderly man travelling through a steep narrow pass, bumps lay across his path but he sailed through them, his back and upper body straight, his face at peace. All the while his legs beneath were riding the bumps, absorbing the ups and downs as his hips swung this way and that. It has ever since represented the goal for my skiing, effortless ease over the mountain. It has also become an example for the first Master combination B50 El Morya. Absorbing the bumps of life while remaining upright and at peace. This view in turn derives from an observation Kathi Beesley one of the first Swiss Aura-Soma teachers made about El Morya “It is only when we can accept the will of God that we can stand straight in life.” Just as this skier appeared to me, standing straight, perfectly upright, at peace, in the midst of the ride of life.

The second thought came today and in a way it follows from the previous observation. While comparing skiers today I noted that one of my companions has good technique but likes to remain in control. A second companion has less technique, less control, but attacks the slope and so travels faster. It struck me that the truly great skiers must have more than (just) perfect technique, they must hand over to the animal within them to do the skiing. A truly great skier must allow courage and instinct (not the head) to lead the way.

I am using B80 at the moment, a combination which I am coming to see as bringing spirit and matter into harmony. The number 8 represents the same and the sequence from 80 to 89 develops and explores this principle; it is a sequence which also contains a surprising amount of reds (and pinks) within it. It culminates with B89 the Red / Deep Magenta (Rescue). B89 also has the (original) Aura-Soma Tarot image showing a figure half lady and half lion upon it. This image represents the soul and the animal fully fused together – the last step of the potential of the 8 – harmony between spirit and matter.

My skiing project of this trip is to develop my skill in travelling though the snow bumps. I have found a little bumpy section I return to each day for a few practice runs. My vision is to ski according to my memory of the elderly El Morya man. The focus of my practice to reach this goal is to allow the mountain to ski me - let the bumps show me the way through my feet; let the animal in me respond to the mountain while I rest at ease. The qualities of B50 and B89 together.

Needless to say I am far, far from my vision but I am enjoying the ride!
