The 2014 Wood Horse: Germinations

by E.L. Scott on February 2nd, 2014 at 6:10 pm

The 2014 Wood Horse

Freedom, Independence, Power, and Germinations

On the heels of two super new moons in January, the first occurring on New Year’s Day, we now arrive at Imbolc or Saint Brighid’s Day (the Gaelic festival marking the midpoint between the winter solstice and the spring equinox) and Candlemas (the presentation of Jesus at the temple and a day of purification, renewal and hope) in the Christian tradition.

Additionally, we have just moved through the portal of the Chinese New Year and into a significant new cycle. Celebrations welcoming this new energetic chapter will be happening through 15 February, but as of 31 January we have officially entered the year of the Wood Horse. 2014 is unquestionably charging ahead.

Emerging from the last two internal water years of intense reflection, clearing and cleansing (the Dragon of 2012 and the Snake of 2013), we have shed many of our skins (in their varied forms) in preparation for this next (natural) stage of our individual (and collective) third dimensional human evolution journey.

The Wood Horse is all about germination. The water of 2012 and 2013 has fed the wood, and now germinations are ripe to emerge and blossoms ready to burst forth. Freedom, power, full honest expression, changes, new beginnings, independence, creative emergence, optimism, speed, movement…Yes!

The wood element makes this an earthy year, one focused on matter, foundations and manifestations. The horse animal brings its qualities: energy, power, play, independence, an inherent freedom-seeking drive.

The germinations of this year are certain to emerge, in whatever ways you have created/prepared/called forth. Certain does not refer to fated or fixed, rather it speaks to what is encoded at this stage of the cycle, to this part of natural process.

Because the Wood Horse energy of this year promises to be full, fast and intense (this, in addition to the continuing Pluto-Uranus square, Jupiter T-square, Mars Grand Cross, and more), it is vital to mindfully attend to our foundational needs (mind/psyche, body/health, spirit/connection-centering) and radically practice various forms of Self-love. Staying grounded, in allowance, and awake-aware will aid us in riding this momentum-wave skillfully (and in co-creative mastery toward magical realities) verses being inattentive and getting demolished by the wave or carried away by the undertow (and feeling “victimized”).

You are an alchemist. Harness the power (and speed) of this year’s energetic signature so to actualize your Soul Print in the myriad ways which have been calling you over these recent months and years.

The article below on our WOOD HORSE year is beautifully on-point. Thank you, Soul Harmony on Demand!

“There might not be a bigger shift of energies in the entire 60 year wheel of Chinese astrology than this one coming up–the shift from two Water years of deep introspection to the fast-paced spurt of extroverted forward propulsion that the Wood Horse brings. Hold on to your hats, folks, and realize that you won’t be able to, nor will you want to, slow your horses in the New Year ahead!

“This will be a promethean year, the Beginning of all beginnings, arriving around January 31st to February 4th, 2014. Full of uplift, optimism and compelling inspiration, we will be guided into purposeful action of the most elegantly simple and powerfully fruitful kind. After two years of feeling every revelation of corruption in the dark as if it was scouring our subconscious insides and wringing us dry of watery emotion, we are READY for this change! Light, hope and clarity of vision gallop in. Emerge from your cocoons, everybody, here we go!

“Because this will be such a big change of energetic experience for us, it will help to review here how the cycle of the sacred Five Elements, or Phases, have set us up for this shift. In that cycle, Wood feeds Fire, Fire’s ash creates Earth, Earth’s compression reveals gems of Metal, and Metal collects and holds Water, which nourishes the Wood to start the cycle all over again. The natural laws of these five elements are actually working in multiple ways throughout Nature, our bodies, our psychologies and the energetic movements of all things here on this planet. In these movements, there are cycles within cycles, one of which is the cycle of birth, growth, disintegration and death, or the void that comes after old life and before new life.

“We have just been traveling through that void, in two Water years, which immersed us in a descending place of degeneration, dissolution and chaos, a time when our internal world of formless spirit and emotions held total sway over every attempt at external control or order. For most of us, it was an unsettling time of letting go of many things, either voluntarily or forcefully, a time of deep soul-searching, with gradual or sudden destabilization in many areas of family and livelihood. There was a profound search for a return to a spiritual basis for daily living. This all had the effect of highlighting an individual’s isolation and powerlessness within a seemingly random and careless society. Not that outright rebellion and outcry didn’t happen, globally as well as internally. The 2012 Yang Water Dragon year saw to that, with its critical promptings of social responsibility and heroism, and this Yin Water Snake year that followed delved even deeper into the most hidden caves of stagnant dysfunctionality and corruption on all levels.

“The good and great news is that we have completed 5 years of the degenerative part of the cycles–that of the harvested, decomposing Earth, compressing and eliminative Metal, and dissolving, settling out, cleansing Water. We now emerge into the generative cycles–powerful, bursting buds of Wood’s new growth fueling the joyful outreach and passions of Fire and the beginnings of Earth’s fruitful harvests.

“So, that’s the Wood part of what’s coming. Now to turn our gaze to the animal symbol of Horse. This sprouting upward rush of Wood energy will find its perfect release into the impulsive and passionate nature of the Yang Horse, whose native element is Fire. The Horse energy inspires powerful INTUITION and an indomitable surge towards freedom in every aspect of life. This is a year to follow your inner voice like never before, for it will have a universal cosmic ch’i within it. Higher guidance is with us every step of the way. Reach for the sky, call up your vision, fuel your plans with vision boards and creativity, find a fresh path and pace yourself well. This yang Horse year has the potential to channel the powerful new upthrust of Wood’s Ch’i through the Horse’s Heart energy of Fire and into every project we start, every desire we reach for. It will keep our eager plans from being dominated by too much “head” and not enough “heart.”

“It may be quite challenging to trust that we have this absolutely new, purified and hopeful energy to build on now. Our hearts have had to endure a gauntlet of deconstruction through two Metal and two Water years, but the fiery Horse is about to change all of that. Within the extroverted “Green Horse” year, we will not only branch out with new growth, but we will be able to stoke the Fire element of love in every area of life. Follow your intuition fearlessly, as it is both the horse’s main attribute which preserves its freedom and powerful health and it is Wood’s primary talent for stretching into the unknown future. Reach out with irrepressible faith to a new level of social communion and mutual support. Trust every impulse to embrace a revitalized and renewed sensitivity for the pleasures this earthly dimension has to offer.

“Step up and out of any old clutter, stored memories, should-have-dones or regrets. The time to deal with that is over for now. Untangle your thoughts quickly and get clear on what it is that you truly desire in this lifetime. Your trusty steed is here, full of vibrant health and tremendous stamina. It should be quite a fast ride, so grab a fistful of mane, hang on to the reins, cast your old cares to the wind and let out a whoop of delight–Yeeehaaw! Upward and onward we thrive! May we all be blest abundantly as we hold each other closer in the circle of health and new life the Wood Horse year brings.”

______

To your germinations! Let your freedom and power blossom!

The Transition of 2013

by E.L. Scott on December 31st, 2013 at 3:00 pm

Posted In: Alchemy and Holism, Holism and Evolution

The Transition of 2013

Unprecedented.

I’ve heard many people refer to 2013 with this adjective.

For countless people, intense experiences have been prevalent – challenge and restriction for some and astounding new beginnings for others. In all cases, however, this has been a time of unrelenting growth edges, deep clarity, radical assimilation, and definitive breakthroughs into new levels of empowerment. Breaking down our unsustainable mental and physical structures has been an overwhelming theme, both collectively and individually.

_You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself._ ~Buddha

So here we are at the end of a stunning year, and this is to you and your steep but smooth unfolding in 2014. Over the last few years we have been traversing a monumental time of paradigmatic and systems transition, and it will continue in exponentially more powerful ways. 2013 has been referred to as a year of clearing and karmic balancing, as we are beginning to walk a new and newly empowered path. It is understood by many to have been the first year of a new 26,000-year precession cycle, a new age imbuing Aquarian qualities of freedom, innovation, community, philanthropy, and global consciousness. The months and years ahead will prove to be significant and wholly changing. These unprecedented radical changes will act to trigger the deepest realms of all that which has been held unconscious within us.

No more delays.

Procrastination is not an option for any of us any longer. Now is the time to attend to you – your mental-emotional-spiritual-physical health and that which brings you distinct and profound joy. Of the many assimilated realizations this year, one which has emerged as foundational, is the simple understanding that life is (highly) precious. In this time of “quickening”, where time exponentially feels to be evaporating, this has been made more real and has become more embodied.

My sincere desire for each and every person is to know yourself fully and authentically, to step into yourself fully and authentically, to get raw and real, to take responsibility for the part you play in The Whole, to be brave and delve wholly into your deep healing, and for it to be expedited at this time so that you may remain grounded and be “the eye of the storm” in all ways at all times. You are infinitely more powerful than you are now actualizing. Allow the intensities of this chapter to feed your growth, enable the required maturity and clear-seeing, and activate your capacity for the myriad channels of power to flow.

Whimsical yet ancient, embedded in the human story and highly profound, I am not joking or dismissive when I assert that you are an alchemist.

Resources for Re-Sourcing

NEW MOON ON JANUARY 1st: Astrology (the art/science of planetary energies and mathematical relationships) is ancient, highly valid, and exceedingly important to understand and access at this time as its cycles directly serve our individual growth. Tomorrow, New Year’s Day, January 1^st, is a Super New Moon. As if the alignment of a new moon (a new cycle) happening on the first day of the new year (a new cycle) is not enough, it is also embedded within a transformative stellium of conjunct planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury and Pluto in “structure/security” Capricorn). And, as if this is not powerful enough, this stellium is part of a Cardinal Grand Cross involving Jupiter in Cancer (expansion of feelings/nurturance/home/The Feminine), Mars in Libra (balanced approach/action in relationships) and Uranus in Aries (breaking free/empowerment of the Self). Those who understand The Web of Life – that everything is not only connected by relationship and by the same operating principles but also that everything functions cohesively and intelligently (e.g., events have instrinsic meaning/cohesion because all is informed by The Web and all is outwardly impacted by The Web) – understand the support available for activating distinct new pathways and realities. January is then rounded off with a 2^nd Super New Moon. Amazing…

Words from author Andrew Harvey: “The next few years are going to be crucial for humanity and will decide the course of our evolution. However difficult and chaotic the path ahead becomes, commit yourself to ever deepening spiritual practice, to a radical simplification of your life and to doing whatever you can with grace and joy for all sentient beings.”

Suggestions for your Alchemy and Evolution in 2014

SOUL: Unveil your distinct truths. Honor them. Activate them.
BELIEFS: Open. There is infinitely more to reality, and possibility, than that which is seen or experienced to date. Reconnect with yourself. Your body and gut knows truth and responds accordingly. Disconnect from the toxic corporate-governmental-media Story.
FOUNDATION: Simplify, simplify, simplify. At all levels.
RAISE YOUR FREQUENCY: Meditate every day, at least once and more whenever possible. This will re-engage the power of your intuition and align you with internal and external wisdom.
CLEAR YOURSELF: Know your food and water. Radically clean your diet. Detox regularly. Exercise. Learn about structured water. Eliminate things and stuff, especially the material things which act to burden and drag. Be lighter in all ways.
ACT: Move into discomfort and take risks. Trust yourself.
TECHNOLOGY: Use technology conscientiously, mindfully and more intelligently so it occupies significantly less of your time. Studies have proven again and again, the connection it is said to create is a delusion and evokes the opposite.
NATURE: Directly connect with nature every day. In every manifestation, there is deep wisdom and we are reminded of information we hold within. The energy resonance naturally aligns us with our body’s natural resonance.
RELATIONSHIPS: Relate and love without conditions. Relationships are key as we move forward. Connect only with those who bring joy and offer support.
FOCUS AND MANIFEST: Radically attend to your thoughts. Retrain your beliefs/thoughts/mind to focus only on what you like, what you want, what brings you happiness, and what is positive. Focus on your priorities. Science is catching up: our beliefs, which create our thoughts, literally act to manifest our external reality. As above, so below; as within, so without. One of nature’s organizing principles. We manifest what we believe. Reconnect with your inherent nature and magic. It is then that an entire belief system will present itself with clarity to be assimilated. This is power.
MODEL: Be a model of Self-empowerment for others.

To all of you – each your own important Alchemist – may your New Year transition provide you the information and experiences to optimally catapult and serve your new cycle.

Non-whole = Non-sane

by E.L. Scott on March 25th, 2013 at 11:31 am

Posted In: Holism and Evolution

The Sanity of Holism

Whole equals sane. Non-whole equals non-sane.

A prevalent population exists which believes that life is only material; that life is only that which can be seen and/or proved. Anything that cannot be seen and/or proved and measured and repeatable in a scientific study is simply not real. These non-material areas include the process of thinking, insights and ideas and the impetus for creative expression, all feelings and emotions, all qualities (beauty, comfort, love, etc.), the immeasurable and mysterious reality of the body’s placebo effect, and multitudes more.

Although we have a all been taught the same material-mechanistic-reductionist science story in our modern-day education system, which has naturally infiltrated to become the adopted and socially-acceptable default worldview of how life and the world operate, there are some who grip desperately to this exceedingly narrow, partial-understanding of reality.

The Primary Aspects of The Modern-day Default Worldview:

Nature is mechanical (the universe, animals, plants and humans are all like machines)
Matter is unconscious (stars, planets, animals and plants are unconscious, but – illogically – not humans)
The laws of nature are fixed and rigid
Nature is purposeless
Biological heredity is all there is – everything we are is in our genes
The mind is ‘inside our head’ – all consciousness is just a by-product of our brains
As the mind is ‘inside our heads’, telepathy and other psychic connection phenomena are impossible

This reductionist understanding or belief – in this case, that life is only material, mechanistic, quantitative – uses almost solely the left brain. The left side of the brain is the one which processes details, numbers, quantities; it “identifies”; it “objectifies”; it focuses on “parts” and on short view gain and on linearity. The right brain, on the other hand, processes qualities and relationships; it sees wholly, contextually, and is inherently able to see compassionately; it senses; it intuits; it assesses emotionally; this is the seat for creative thought, openness, receptivity; it sees the long-view. The two brains are primarily connected by the Corpus Callosum. This fundamental brain functionality is the same in both women and men.

As we can see, the aspects of right brain functioning have been dismissed and denied with this modern-day globally-accepted default belief system.

This partial functioning is now taking its toll. Anger, defiance and dogmatic rigidity to accepted norms are more readily coming forward now. Interestingly, this partial belief about life only utilizes a part of the brain.

Partial belief equals partial function.

Reductionist beliefs equal reduced function.

Here we see the perfection of nature as this is a fractal; this is a perfect example of a fractal (the self-similarity in patterns seen throughout nature-cosmos).

So, why is this referred to as “insane”? Because partial is non-whole, and because non-whole is unnatural, and because unnatural is imbalanced, and because imbalanced is unsustainable. This is incomplete. It is really just that simple.

Could this just be a personal judgement? Or, have we as humans come to a breaking point with this unsustainable (‘man’-made, unnatural, partial-and-thus-false) belief? You decide.

As Holistic Science is gaining momentum, as people are awakening to the inherent limits to the material-only “story of life” we’ve been asked to adopt and accept in the last 200 plus years, these people who are gripping to the material-only view of life are becoming newly aggressive in their defense of this view of reality. There are also new actions being taken in the protection of the existing limited view.

TEDx made the decision to first censor then remove this talk (below) by Rupert Sheldrake (as well as another by Graham Hancock). They have relegated the links to their blog, an obscure placement. See the debate and links here. This is a first for TED. This comes in addition to an increased and elevated level of enraged defiance by those desperately clinging onto the “material-only” belief and determined to rail against those who understand the innate holism of living systems clearly. These people are denying the reality of Reality, and are bringing forward – very clearly for all to see – the bitterness, adolescence and insanity that stem from the rigid use of left-only. As these deniers demand “evidence” and speak from their mental-script dogma of “material only”, they make clear their toxic spinning minds which are the (natural) result of the positive feedback loop of using left-only. Partial equals non-whole. Non-whole equals insanity.

One more thing – a critical note: the current limited belief insists that to know life we must know it “objectively” minus all subjectivity. This is one of the largest myths that resides within the deluded partial view of life through the lens of modern-day science. This is a component of the materialist view.

Life, however, is impossible to live, see, observe “objectively”. It is fundamentally not possible. Just like we were made to use both sides of our brains, life is subjective and objective, both.

LATEST UPDATE

DENIAL OF THE EMERGING PARADIGM

Below is information on the latest development regarding the TEDx ‘censoring’ controversy from Rupert Sheldrake:

“The TED controversy continues. My TEDx talk on “The Science Delusion” was removed from the regular TEDx platform and relegated to a Naughty Corner of the internet, along with Graham Hancock’s talk on consciousness and psychedelics, after objections from militant atheist bloggers in the US. This caused a storm of protest on the internet, and TED tried to justify their actions and their defamatory remarks about me and Hancock by posting a statement from their anonymous Science Board. All their points the Board raised were easy to refute. Chris Anderson, the head of TED, rang me up and we had a long conversation, as a result of which they deleted the Science Board’s statement and published my response.

TED then opened a series of discussion forums, including one called “The debate about Rupert Sheldrake’s talk”. Altogether there have now been more than 5,000 comments, far more than for any other TED talk. The controversy is now being reported in the press, and was in the Independent on Sunday yesterday, where a new online discussion is now taking place.

Meanwhile, under continuing pressure from the militant atheist lobby, TED officials have extended the purge and have revoked the licence for an upcoming TEDx event in West Hollywood on April 14, on the grounds that their Science Board thought it might involve “pseudoscience”. The speakers they objected to were Russell Targ, one of the doyens of ESP research, Marilyn Schlitz, who was until recently President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and Larry Dossey, a pioneer in the exploration of the role of spirituality in healthcare. Fortunately the event is going ahead anyway, called exTEDx, and will be streamed live.”

There is little question that the resistance being presented is extraordinarily interesting… he who “doth protest too much”…

Holism

by E.L. Scott on January 25th, 2013 at 10:41 am

Posted In: Alchemy and Holism

HOLISM

Life is whole.

Life, which is a web of relationships, means that each individual is intrinsically and fundamentally connected to each other and always impacting the whole. And, where does this “whole” end? We are talking about a system within system within system…seemingly never-ending. The connection that we as individuals have to the greater whole/s is infinite, non-local, profound.

And the alchemy of it…

Emergence occurs at every level of every life system in every moment…

And, the Whole itself…

This is – of course – also emergent.

Truly, life is no less than an utter alchemical dance. Magic. Bounded pure potentiality (not an oxymoron here), infinite intelligence in action, and optimal creativity expressed…

All it takes is understanding the organizing principles which underlie all living systems, assimilating it, and then participating in mindful engagement so the immense power (and play, and responsibility) in creating our lives is experienced.

Life: An Immensely Bigger Reality than Understood

by E.L. Scott on July 6th, 2011 at 12:23 pm

Posted In: Alchemy and Holism

LIFE

It is fast becoming clear to some, and soon will to many more, that Life is an immensely larger and more magnificent story – highly intelligent, highly complex, highly creative – than ever thought before, at least in terms of our current paradigm.

The New Story…Where Am I?…Who Am I?

This stunning video features Cosmologist Brian Swimme, one of many scientists today articulating advanced understandings. In this piece, Swimme speaks to the larger reality of Life as we know it…and a new way of being human.

I am that I am.

I am. That, I am.

I am That. I am.
