But, still....

Acting busy, but am not really. Seeing the nuttiness in the world, but
am not feeling attached. Wondering where the vision went, but am not
concerned.

Unplugged might be the word that covers a lot of territory. Unplugged
from a reality that requires constant vigilance and endless attention
to detail. Even the thought of re-entering that world creates a
shockwave through my system that instantly informs me to stop thinking
about it. Guess I still need the reminder of where to devote my
attention.

There's a stillness at some level right now. Not that I don't go
through motions of activity every day, but the sense that I am driven
by my mind seems less alive in me. I know it's what we have been
learning and teaching about, but the experience of it can be
disconcerting at times. In the old story, we were taught that we
direct the flow of energy. In the new story our flow is informed and
directed BY the energy. How well we can receive is the challenge, and
listening is the new skill to master.

It's not that the energy isn't moving. It just might not be as we
think it should. The controlling tendency of the distorted masculine
is having to relinquish its grip as the feminine rebalances and
merges. If you're still trying to manipulate outcomes by some mental
technique, you might find yourself challenged to let go of yet another
belief before shifting more fully into the new operating system. And
it's not that some old teachings have been incorrect or ineffective,
but rather they were born of the story out of which they came. In the
new story we change our relationship with the energies of creation,
and we get new instructions.

We are going deeper and shifting faster than ever before, and we are
on the threshold of the next major movement. Each wave is unique in
experience, and the word I've been using to describe the next one is
Potent. The collapse of the old is accelerating, and the awareness
that something new is stirring rises equally as fast. To me, the
potency is like a relentless push that amps up the need for people to
make a choice of which reality they wish to give their energy.

I can already sense the movement of the wave happening at Lightsmith,
and potent is the word I will again use. The Earth Mother session I
wrote about last time (removing the false structure of aging) was
Potent. The channeling last night with Joan of Arc was Potent
(download ready tomorrow). What is setting up for our session on
08-08-08 is Potent, and the channeling the next night will welcome the
arrival of Lady Venus. The current series of channelings is closing,
and a new series with Sanat Kumara and Lady Venus is opening in the
first part of 2009. Do you figure it might be Potent?

Even the Tune-Up this coming Tuesday will be Potent, as you will see
from the description that follows below. We may have to stop calling
them Tune-Ups. They're getting to be more like Major Overhauls.

If you feel that things aren't in motion for you right now, then enjoy
the rest while you have it. Take some time to breathe and release even
more of the old story, and then get ready to grab on because the Wild
Ride is not over.

Holy Moly,

Chris

Tuesday Tune-Up - July 15, 7pm

Hmmph, a Tune-Up he says. More of a re-build if you ask me.
Here's the rather imposing description for this month's focus:

Shifting structures of distortion in the Pelvis to open suppressed
Creative/Sexual energy that has been trapped by patriarchal
conditioning.

In each of us is programming of the old feminine and old masculine,
particularly a distorted masculine that became dominant, creating a
distorted and repressed feminine. Over several millennia, specific
structures within the Pelvic Chakra have adapted and limited the
amount of magnetism and potency moving through the upper chakras,
thereby limiting creation. Sexual distortions or abuse trauma are part
of this limiting structure, but each of us has our own version of the
much larger story that is still affecting most of humanity.

Here are some of the symptoms of the pelvic chakra distortions that
can show up:

Sore lower backs, sciatica, sacrum instability, intestinal stress,
uterine or ovary issues, yeast infections, candida, weight gain in the
belly/hips, bladder infections, or challenges within the prostate,
hips, legs, and feet. Whew! You may also find that you are bumping up
against limitations based in shame, and fear around sexuality,
attractiveness and magnetism.

Women are particularly affected, but men are also finding themselves
challenged to expand capacity within the pelvic chakra and to not
channel the freed energy through old pathways. Connected is the fusion
place in the sacrum that is the catalyst of the body's capacity to
translate Light into cellular aliveness.

For several people we�ve talked with recently, a sense of abdominal
weight gain or a bloated feeling has been common. We certainly
wouldn�t claim that all such situations are connected to these pelvic
distortions, but it is possible that a pressure is building that would
now like to release. If you have old structural blockages that are
ready to shift, the process next Tuesday could be of assistance.

We�re expanding our capacity to be creators, and this significant
release and restructuring is next in the sequence of moving out of the
old story. So, if you�re ready, we�re going to go in, open up, and
shift the structures that adapted in the old story. I (Chris)
previously wrote that this session would be a doozy. Now you see why.

You can join us in person or by phone. More information here:

Basic Grid Class with Michele - Wednesday July 23rd, 6:30pm

From Michele:

I am often asked how to keep a space clear or how to support intention
within the field of consciousness. So on Wednesday evening, July 23, I
am going to facilitate another class on creating crystal grids to hold
intention, field generators for home and office, directions on how to
grid a home or apartment so energies do not leak through from
neighbors, manifestation grids to assist the process of materializing
in the New Field, and other basics.

We will start at 6:30 and aim to end by 9:30. If you are coming,
please let me know......and begin to collect: 6 matching stones (i.e.
6 quartz points, 6 amethyst, etc.) one stone or object as the anchor
or center of the grid, a white cloth napkin or towel, and any number
of small precious stones or objects that will add quality and
dimension to the grids. If you do not have any of the above, do not
run out to buy things. I have plenty to share for the class.

Cost: $60

Call or email Michele for pre-registration: 651-224-4451 or
