unravel, or, entanglement theory

i’ll just be honest, it caught me by surprise. sometimes it does, and there is nothing we can do except allow. here the body is ready, and the mind follows.

eventually all waves touch land.

this too shall pass, she says, and it does.

but in the moment it can feel INTENSE. the shifts of energy and emotion and sometimes even visceral tissue. sometimes you sense it, and other times the feeling just takes over your entire consciousness.

we are no longer in control and that is on some level terrifying.

just keep breathing, if you can.

let the inhale and exhale guide you.

the spiral that is ascension…maybe it only goes one way.

we never go back but we do accelerate in moments, when we go around curves, into the unknown. another rabbit hole. only this time it’s my own den.

perhaps the world is a mirror of balance. takes its opportunities to show us where we are too far off our center. throw us something of gravity and then see how we stand.

are you rooted in your center?

can you connect to your center?

can you disconnect from other peoples’ centers?

can you protect your own center?

these are all very important questions, and ones i have been asking myself recently.

as profound and personal as this process is, i am also finding it incredibly useful and empowering to consciously observe, which is why i’m choosing to share it with you right now. this is a lesson in energetics playing out in real time — precisely the kind of direct experience that leads to wisdom.

so. to ground us in a theme, we are going to be speaking about tethers.

what it means to be tethered or connected to another body of energy. what cords of an umbligal nature, if any, exist in our being at this moment. umbligal, as in, the ones that connect to our center.

it is necessary to filter that which passes through our sense doors, as well as our energetic portals.

you with you, not others, that’s the theme.

does this all make sense so far?

a crucial parallel inquiry is how these connections, these tethers, are formed, and what we can do when we want to remove them.

first we become conscious of the cord, then we become conscious as they form.

there is infinite potential for these connections to form, prior to our awareness of their existence, and many people if not most will live their whole lives never asking themselves these questions.

when things are dysfunctional, it doesn’t mean that they don’t function. it means there is a cost to their function. unknown consequences.

the fine print that so few people read in the beginning and then rage law suits over at the end.
