“Falling Into the Precipice of Our Being!” —Brahm => Kris => Serge & Mark

With these words, Brahm stole my metaphysical heart the other night, on the radio show I co-host with Mark Bukator and Serge Grandbois [and Kris, of course]. I so very much want to ‘fall into the precipice of my being’ and would pay money to do it!

Let me explain a few details before getting into the good bits of this amazing show. [There’s always a back-story!]

Usually it is Kris who comes through and we have a wonderful discussion about the nitty-gritty of how we work with our energies within consciousness. Brahm has only come through on the radio show once before, and it’s always a distinct change in vibration when he does.

He followed up on Kris’ earlier discussion about everything being a process, not a state. Essence, like everything else in consciousness, is not a ‘thing’ but a ‘process’. So people who are frantically searching everywhere for that one last thing, that last little bit of understanding that will allow them to graduate from being merely human, to the exalted state of Essence-hood, are limiting themselves fairly drastically. [There is nothing to attain, only re-engagement of a vast and continuing process.]

Brahm almost seemed to be using the ‘should’ word, when he said that in the context of “The Shift”, we must change our paradigm of ourselves in order to allow a larger paradigm of ‘who and what we are’ to emerge. He pointed out that this was not a ‘should’ but simply a requirement for the expanded state of beingness we have chosen to explore. It is our idea of ourselves that is the most limiting factor in our lives and, not surprisingly, from my perspective this is also the most challenging thing for us to change.

Brahm then launched into an extended metaphor about the young eagle being kicked out of the nest. Our little eaglet will certainly find this a shocking development, and feel like it’s going to smack it’s little birdy-ass on the cold, hard ground below - and probably die! Or at least lose money, be embarrassed, or default on a credit card payment, to put this kind of precipitous disaster into human terms.

But something else happens and our darling little chick automatically opens her wings and starts to ‘go with the flow’. Suddenly air is much more than an invisible constant taken for granted. It becomes a medium for new categories of movement and exploration that give glorious new meaning to wings that had been awkward, floppy impediments until now.

Our little chick instantly accesses potentials she didn’t even know she had, in a process we humans call ‘learning to fly’. All this without one iota of understanding of the aerodynamics involved. [Take that Wright brothers!]

We understand, with the most pro-active compassion, that for every individual chick it must still be a pretty amazing experience! Jumping out of that warm and comfortable nest, and falling into the Abyss! And then... soaring safely in the air currents. And then... flying freely as high as we want!

Soaring eventually to heights unimaginable from the confines of our dear nest! [to which we can return whenever we want, by the way! We are now in the ‘neo-nest’ that includes the nest we leapt from, and a whole lot more!]

Now, dear reader, imagine you’re that eagle chick! [So that means ALL the dramas in your life have been about learning to fly!]

It was fairly amazing in these moments on the radio, to be discussing this with Brahm, coming as he is from the Entity layer of consciousness and all. My inner vision opened up wide and I saw walls dissolving before my eyes, allowing the ‘winds of change’ to blow gently but firmly, through everything I had been thinking about who I was and how the world worked.

Vast universes drifted by, each filled with uncounted trillions of everything conceivable. All this spreading to the outer-most reaches of whatever else might be conceivable, and expanding from there. And then all this somehow folding inwards upon itself, compounding itself, to produce even more evolved understandings of many, many composite and inter-related layers of our amazing selves and our unlimited potentials.

I have to tell you, in all frankness, Brahm blows my headlights every single time. In some ways it’s a blessing he doesn’t come that often, because replacing all those bulbs can run into real money!

Identity turns out to be something we use to express our current, and ever-changing, idea of ‘who and what we are’. In other words our identity is a process too, not the ‘thing’ we might have been assuming was somewhere within us, waiting to finally be exposed.

This really highlights any kind of rigidness we might notice inside ourselves. If something is always ‘right or wrong’, ‘black or white’, or ‘go - no go’, then we might benefit from some connectedness thinking... [Let’s try to soften the boundaries within, and re-energize the openness of our engagement with the multi-various energies we find in ourselves!]

“And” is Always the Answer [even though there are very few absolutes]

If we want to move forward, our steadfast and stalwart response to our dilemmas, paradoxes and conundrums must always be ‘and’. The sooner we open our understanding to accept this Principle of Consciousness, the sooner we begin harvesting the conscious creation benefits of straddling these dichotomous perspectives.

We can use these challenges as we intended, to vault us into even more subtle and heartfelt understanding and appreciation of the dynamics of our consciousness.
