The Ascent: Daily Ascension Snippets

When you're in the torus, you breathe in and unravel the old, you breathe out and create the new.

Thus we have to be prepared to let go of each creation - to hold the past very lightly.

Then to have the courage to step forwards even though you can't immediately see the outcome.

That's how we create the outcome - but crucially, as one with the divine.

So, ex-president Donald Trump calls Bitcoin a scam and the whole market plunges.
No, Donald, printing zillions of paper dollars and bailing out your Corporate America mates is a scam.
Distributing millions of experimental jibjabs at "warp speed", when you personally know existing drugs work better, is the mother of all scams.

I always believe the truth will out, no matter what.
The truth is the correcting force of the Universe.
And here right now, crypto has already demonstrated it is here to correct humungous wrongs. To give the regular guy in the street like you and I a chance to even the financial playing field a degree.
The shadow state will, and are, manipulating it so they can steal it from retail investors who lose their nerve. DON'T lose your nerve!

The current falls are no different than all the others that have happened previously. It always bounces back. The fact remains, Bitcoin has still out-performed all other investments over the time of its inception and will continue to do so. Why? Peer to peer ease of use. True store of value because the maximum amount is permenantly limited to 21 million coins. That's what the shadowstate, with its inflationary tactics, are terrified about.
It blows fiat - like the dollar - out of the water.

And as I've often said, Bitcoin is merely the 1st generation. Others are already surpassing it.
So, what I will be doing, am doing, is staying strong and hanging long.
The truth will find a way.
It always does.

It's the beginning of another week and where will your focus be?
No doubt you'll have stuff to do, people to see, goals to accomplish.
But always remember whatever is going on, this is about your self-actualisaiton.
And that can only happen by being attentive to it.
That's why I always advocate maintaining 50% of your attention on the inner.
How are you being now?
What aspect of beingness is invited now?
What's the grandest version of you that you can be?

"Being present" and "Presence" are not necessarily the same thing.

You can work at being present - meaning to bring attention to how you're being and what's truly happening in any given moment. Some might term this "mindfulness".

But that isn't the same as presence. In fact someone can still be being very busy in this state (of being present). They might even look still on the surface but there's an efforting underneath to hold in place what they (their ego) is perceiving as stillness and presence.

Presence is something that happens to you.

You cannot create it and to aim for it is to push it further beyond reach - because true presence is the Void of all things in the eternal background. To be in it, is to merge with the totality. Where there is someone aiming for this, it will always remain out of reach because in your consciousness you've already established the conditon of separation from it.

Instead the key is to align with soul in any given moment.

When allowed to, the soul will flow. It doesn't have to effort to do this - does the wind effort to blow?

Even when the soul is active and busy, it is still effortless - is a bee efforting?

What we need to do therefore (and this is the Openhand Approach), is to open out through tightness to centre in the flow of the soul. You do this by dropping into rightness of being in any given moment - like tuning a musical instrument. You give everything to what you recognise is the attuned chord of you.

That's when you start to recognise this peculiar state that simply and effortlessly arises in the background. Time disappears. Separation disappears. Doubt, fear, disbelief disappear. You are now being the eternal presence of the One.

If anything hits a bottleneck in your life, or the magic seems to grind to a halt, how can you pay more attention to the soul? How can you initiate more soul flow?...

May was the month of the big dive in crypto. May was the month of massive market manipulation by the shadowside. It was clearly designed to freak out the small private investors (you and I!). Meanwhile they dive in and buy at the heavily discounted price. Don't fall for it! If you own coins that have great fundamentals (Ethereum, XRP, Vechain, Tron, Aave for example) then the wise thing to do is simply hold and ride out the troughs. This has happened before and it will happen again. But the upside continues. We ARE in a paradigm shift in terms of how we connect and exchange. Nothing has changed!

Open 🙏

You are magnificent beyond measure.
You can manifest anything that's truly in your heart.
Let's never let anything come between us and these dreams.
And remember always, "where's there's a will, there's a way".

I think all too often we apply the term "surrender" to what actually suits the ego and not the soul.
If you want to truly talk to the God within you, you've got to be prepared to go out on a limb,
to break past the physical identification, to confront the material in the most intimate and sometimes savage of ways. That's when you truly explode the myth that the ego self is. Then all manner of things will light the way.
But you have to be prepared to first break through your comfort zone...

So crypto is bouncing right back again - that tends to happen. It's a New Paradigm we're heading into, plenty of pull backs and corrections on the rise, but rise we are.

Check out: VeChain, Tron, Link, Theta, Atom.
Meanwhile Doge the Dog is having a well earned rest!

I'm parked up on the beach looking out across the sea, it's a glorious day.
A van has just parked next to me - it's a dog grooming business, with 3 happy dogs emblazoned on the side. As the door opens, an excited spaniel leaps out and rushes off across the beach, tail wagging furiously.
A thought comes to mind - "Doge is making a come back!" Sure enough, the price has leapt 20% today.

I took an early morning jog across the cliffs, down through a small valley, across a jinking little stream heading into the ocean. I'd been watching a great crypto project about video streaming called Bittorrent. The thought came to mind, "oh, it's a bit of a torrent". The price is up over 30% today!

Watch for the light of synchronicity, adventure and fun in the crypto space. It's speaking loudly. That's what I find so adventurous and intriguing about it. A paradigm change, turning the old on its head.

With everything that's going on in the world, it's perfectly okay to feel melancholy at times.
Personally I feel that today. Don't deny it. Don't push it away. It's an entirely 'right' emotion when it arises.
If we don't deny authentic feeelings then they don't define us and can move through pretty quickly.

Namaste

Here's one of my favourite artists from Aus. A pure maestro on the guitar. Can you hear the Shiva in the ocean?...

I put it to you that what matters most in life is finding your own internal harmony and alignment. Might sound a bit glib, a bit cliche. So what do I mean exactly?

Everyone will make mistakes in life, providing that is, you're not denying your journey - your inquiry - which is the greatest mistake one can ever make.

The mistakes are essential. Because within them is the possibility to reclaim the lost aspect of yourself. And, most essentially, then you'll be able to honour boundaries within your future engagement with life.

When you can do this, then the soul will naturally create the kind of configuration that is best for your aliveness and expression. Perhaps that's to be alone? Perhaps with a partner but with plenty of space? Perhaps with a close group of friends. The more you witness yourself, the more you align the boundaries and therefore the more accurately you define your life.

Thus you become harmonious. And from that, you create harmony in the outer.
To me, nothing can be so essential. Then you're truly living.

Hi Everyone - how are you all in the Shift out there right now?

There's lots of change happening in the field and lots of complexity, you might well agree.

That's why it's essential we keep reminding each other to connect with the grace at the core of us.

The soul is working to find rightness of action in the world - this sovereignty is why the external is changing.

BUT, be clear not to detach from the essence at the core of you - the Sacred Ground of Being.

Ultimately this is what the soul is working to reveal - to actualise, to make real.

It's that hallowed place of grace. Of wholeness and completeness. No matter what is going on.

How do you find that sacred place personally?

For me nature is a huge one - just watching the bees out in the garden, or the birds gliding on the wind. And music - the right track can simply carry me away.

Here's a favourite track I frequently play at the Openhand gatherings that readily gets me into that grace.

Take a few moments, sit back and feel it...
