If all is interlinked and intertwined in quantum entanglement then reality speaks to us all of the time if only we will listen. In American Indian teachings encounters with animals have significance beyond the surface level and Deer is all about gentleness. The story goes that one day Great Spirit called to Deer from the top of the Sacred Mountain and so Deer immediately began the climb up the trail. Unbeknown to Deer was that a demon guarded the trail in an attempt to prevent the beings of creation from connecting to Great Spirit.
When Deer came upon the ugly demon it breathed fire and smoke and roared at Deer in an attempt to frighten the fawn but the Deer was unfazed and instead asked the demon gently to let it pass so it could see Great Spirit. The demon was astounded by the Deer’s lack of fear and no matter how it tried, it could not scare the Deer. The Deer’s eyes were filled with love and compassion for the demon and eventually the demon’s rock hard heart began to melt and its body shrank to a walnut.
Deer shows us the power of love and compassion to confront fear and touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are trying to keep us from connecting with love.
So, let’s play with this…
The Universe begins as one entity and big bang splits it into many parts. Consciousness pervades everything and links everything. But consciousness wants to know itself so it can evolve to a higher state. Love is a higher state than fear – and maybe here it’s worth checking with your own experience of this to test the truth in that statement?
But how can one grow and evolve? Remember the story of the Shaman from a couple of posts ago – one split into many so one could see itself. So now do we have to believe in some element of destiny? If the universe has consciousness then is it possible that it has intent to attract circumstances to itself to allow it the opportunity to grow?? If yes and you are simply a part or fractal of this universal consciousness then you are incarnated in this material plane to give yourself the opportunity to grow or evolve in consciousness too. So you will attract to yourself opportunities to enable you to evolve to higher levels of consciousness. Circumstances can therefore be moments loaded with destiny.
Faced with the opportunity you then have the chance to apply your free will to the challenge before you and in the most simplistic way this choice becomes fear based reactivity or love based intention.
See the Deer – demon jumps in front of her – a reaction will always be based on the Past and hence limited to what has already happened which in turn creates more of the same and keeps reality and consciousness fixed. Intentionality is based on freedom – you must choose – but you can only choose if you are able to face your fear – remember the Frank Herbert quote from Dune –
“I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me…”
Freedom can only be gained through choice, we can’t take it for granted but we must find the courage not to react.
“And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
What will remain?? What is “I” ??
Is I consciousness? And if it is consciousness represented as free will then how is it applying free will onto the quantum field? Is it participating through intention? If your Intention is indicated by your Attention then the application of Intention onto the quantum field is to change the wave form into the particle form hence affecting reality.
But here’s the key – you can’t have intention if you don’t know what you are trying to create. Intention stretches forward in time and paves a path of possibility. If you can’t see it, can’t believe its possible, you can’t intend it and can’t create it.
My intention is the evolution of love based consciousness. I put it to you that consciousness is evolving – nothing exists that does not change. If consciousness is changing which path would you like to go down??
Fear based consciousness means separation from each other, control, power over, loss of freedom. Love based consciousness means, connection, community, empowerment, freedom.
Sounds like some of the stuff happening in the world right now? and maybe this seems overwhelming and outside your control so what’s the point? Nice idea but outside my sphere of influence? Better to look after self before someone else – it’s a win lose, us and them world isn’t it?? And see how easy we are back in fear and now contributing to more of the same??
But - if you’re a fractal of the whole, everything you do affects the whole. First step then is make a choice – what’s your Intention??
Next is awareness – in every moment – PEACE – PRESENCE – INTENTION
Am I in fear or love based consciousness?
Do I have the courage to make a choice that will bring us together in open hearted community even though I don’t know what the outcome will be?
Can I embrace the mystery?
In peace and love always.
