Spelunking (again)

This is an older post, but worth re-reading! You can find so many writings posted over the last four years over on the sidebar under “Complete Blog Index.”

Enjoy,

It was a quiet weekend for this avid indoors gal. I call it “spelunking time.”

Those of you who know that term—sometimes called “caving”—know it’s an outdoors term used when you go explore deep underground caves. For the indoors, it’s deep exportation of old emotional and psychic patterns. Old bits that, if left unattended, can wreck havoc to the system. But it’s winter; the cold air has come, it’s storm season, and it’s a great time to go inside to do some indoor spelunking.

Repressed emotions do not go away. They do not disappear with time. Instead, they get buried and then reactivate at the next great obstacle. (“My partner and I broke up and suddenly I feel like I am five again when my father walked out.”)Continue reading…

Can you see the future?

Q&A with Kiran Trace

Question:

Can you see the future? I feel intensely curious about it. I think there is something about wanting to know that is just an integral part of the human being… wanting to know what’s on the horizon…

Answer:

Sometimes I can, but it’s not something solid I can offer you. Because in reality, there is no future. There is just possibility, just potential. Continue reading…

What you can do to change the world

The news cycle in the US right now is so dramatic. There is so much division and, well, insanity. Insanity by my definition is lack of clarity, a lack of right action. Insanity is a movement mostly propelled by deep-seated fear, and an avoidance of truth. And this is a perfect storm for triggering our despair and disconnection.

When it feels like there is no clarity, and no right action, we can be overwhelmed by the fear. And every day there is something to trigger our fear. It’s a global movement. Leaders all over Europe are gathering to advance a very righteous, religious and limited vision for the future. All propelled by fear. Not clarity.

So I want to invite you to empower yourself. This may be the very storm needed to step up to your real agency in the world. You have agency and you have a voice. And both of those things are very, very valuable. Continue reading…

A traveler’s guide though original nature

This is Part Two of the conversation we featured last week.

As with Part One, this conversation will seem very abstract when viewed from a “me-based” personality. Now, I don’t want to isolate anyone. I am usually a profoundly practical gal, very focused on teaching you how to get to peace in this one present moment, when most of us have a very large amount of mind, fear, and need obscuring our peace.

However, there is a time and place to throw out the very big guns. Continue reading…

What you need to know in the aftermath of a real awakening.

It’s so fascinating to notice how different life is after a genuine recognition of our True Nature.

All of us spend a majority of our early lives lived through the interpretations of our mind. Our minds are largely fear-based, and have very distinct filters that block true clarity. Some of us get a glimpse of the vast life-force and clarity that is here aside from the mind. And some of us come face to face with the true nature of reality, and get a big shock about how different reality isContinue reading…

3 best gifts to encourage spiritual growth in tweens

There is a lot to love about the holiday season. One of the things I love most is gifting. I find it so sweet to wander along the streets, all alight with sparkling LED’S on lamp posts, trees and store windows. I love to peek into various stores, feeling around for what might make my loved ones laugh or sparkle inside. I love to discover little treasures that they might savor. I’ve always enjoyed this process, and I start as soon as the leaves begin to fall.

Those of you who have kids around 9-14 years old may feel a little challenged by what to get for the tween in your life. I’d like to share with you some treasures you can give to your pre-teen child. But first, I’ll explain my approach.Continue reading…

Our world in turmoil can be a great thing!

Last weekend I was driving up a mountain pass, up about fifty miles of winding narrow road. It was pouring rain and the trees that lined the road were giving off a thick mist, making visibility limited. It was hard to see more than a hundred feet in front of you. The higher the road climbed, the more the rain turned icy and slick.

Ironically, there was a lot of traffic—a lot of very slow traffic moving past bits of vehicle pieces littering the sidewalls, past drivers pulled over, police cars with lights flashing, people on the side of the road looking panicked.

So, that was the scene. Now, enter the reckless drivers.Continue reading…

Tips for staying sane in the aftermath of the 2016 US Election

In the fear there is a golden opportunity

So the world is in a political spin this year.

That sentence could apply to almost any year, couldn’t it? Globalism and diversity create a push-back for many people, sending them towards a feeling of national ownership—the “we belong here, they don’t” story. So, lots of chaos and divisive sentiment, not just in the USA of course; we have seen similar movements happening recently in the UK, France, Denmark, etc.

Let’s recap what is happening in the US.

To begin with, we can see the strange rise of Trump.Continue reading…

Aversion, Delusion and Enlightenment

Q&A with Kiran Trace

How do the enlightened masters suppress all desire, aversion, and delusion, when these are part of all humans?

This is a great question. A lot of people get confused with this.

Suppression, for the most part, is not going to happen. That effort would require a ‘Mego’ or ego. Enlightened people, masters or not, don’t have enough ego left to suppress anything. For the good or bad.

Now desire, aversion, and delusion still occur. Enlightenment is not a state where human foils don’t occur. That in itself is a delusion, a major delusion! But perhaps it is better to say that it is a misunderstanding of what Enlightenment really is. There are a lot of projections about the Enlightened experience. Enlightenment is a very loaded, confusing word. But there is a real experience, and we can use the E word, or Awakening into our true nature to describe it.Continue reading…
