Expanding possibilities

Obtaining the ‘Knowledge and conversation of your holy guardian angel’

I recently read Newcomb’s ’21st Century Mage’ about obtaining the ‘Knowledge and conversation of your holy guardian angel’. In the book we are told that our holy guardian angel is ready and waiting and, yet, the process of obtaining the goal takes some months of committed effort.

For someone looking for a ‘truly easy and flexible approach’, another book, ‘The Inner Guide Meditation’ by Edwin Steinbrecher is recommended as a ’simple way of contacting your Holy Guardian Angel through the subjective figure of an "inner Guide".’

I like easy, simple and flexible. Some people appear to need to test or prove themselves in a way that others do not. As for ’subjective’, my understanding of quantum physics is that since experiments are effected by being observed, everything is subjective. It was also unclear how subjectivity was avoided in the longer, more complex system, so I bought ‘The Inner Guide Meditation’ and am enjoying playing with that.

Making it up from where ?

In addition to the reminder that we can have things be easy, a couple of points from ‘The Inner Guide Meditation’ struck me as potentially helpful for those who are learning to play with Matrix Energetics or some form of magic.

"If an inner tester whispers ‘You’re making this all up,’ respond with, ‘making it all up from where ?’ The images, the feelings, the thoughts that come can only arise from your own psycho-spiritual system. Continue ‘making it up’ if you think that’s what you are doing, and you’ll find the results and changing in your outer world astonishing.  … Remember - its the movie that your energies are creating that you think of as reality."

The obvious answer to ‘making it up from where?’ is our minds, most of which are willing, ready and able, especially once they see us relying on a particular form of intuition, to entertain us with  words, images, voices or whatever else we look for.

This is most likely to happen when we are seeking a solution to something we perceive as a problem. Better results often occur when we set that aside and simply follow and play with whatever comes.

Drop from head to heart

Perhaps the most useful way of minimising mind stuff and maximising true sensing is to drop into the heart. I am told that Richard Bartlett, Matrix Energetics now suggests dropping a pebble from the head into the heart. It also helps to relax our lower jaw and centre our awareness in our hearts.

Cross check

It is also useful to cross check everything, using as many different senses as we can. Steinbrecher recommends a red light for not truth and green light for truth. After initiating many people into the inner guide meditation and checked what they felt they were ‘making up’ against their horoscopes, he says  "I’m beginning to see that we can’t make anything up, even though the ego may tell us we can." His facilitation presumably helps.

Another perspective

I have been facilitating ‘The Journey’ by Brandon Bays since 1999. When we undertake a Journey we have a mentor to guide us. This is also a ’subjective’ experience of a mentor and yet, I often know who my client’s mentor is for that Journey without being told. This is most often true for ‘famous’ mentors like Jesus but I sometimes know the names of mentors like friends I have no prior knowledge of.

I can also often tell when clients are in or being influenced by their minds and provide useful feedback on that. Thus, a perceptive facilitator can provide further cross checking.

it can also help to work with a friend, especially friends who are not too involved with you, have different conditioning (natives of other countries, people of different ages and sex especially recommended) or invested in their own beliefs.

Engage

Another good practise is to engage with what we get. If we simply observe images, chances are, our mind is entertaining us. If we engage, playfully, something more interesting can, and often does, occur as a result.

Jung distinguished between active and passive imagining or fantasy. Active imagining, which Jung describes as ‘one of the highest forms of psychic activity’ involves a positive participation of consciousness, used to ‘assimilate hints or fragments of lightly toned elements, to elaborate them in a clearly visual form.’

In Matrix Energetics we may or may not elaborate hints into a clearly visual form but we do pick up vague ideas and make them real, ideally as real as anything else in our reality. And we observe something changing. Even though we don’t know how what we see changing relates to the person’s life, this witnessing of change appears to be key.
