The Season of Applied Wisdom (aka middle age) - https://mailchi.mp/8be7f5449349/the-season-of-applied-wisdomaka-middle-age

✨ ડρꪖ𝕣𝕜ꪶꫀ ડꪖꪶꫀ ✨

Because… just because.

Just because the moon was so lovely last night🌝, and just because flowers are poking through the mist this morning 🌺. Just because of the gorgeous future-dream that came to me in the wee hours and how my body woke up so defiantly open to joy. Just because I am remembering that the point of all of this is to create and celebrate beauty. That’s it. That’s the whole pitch. Enjoy this magic or whatever flavor of it beckons you.

“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.” —𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

The journey of awareness has been, in my experience, a graduating tolerance for uncertainty. Recently, this discussion has come up a lot — so I figured I’d make a graphic for it here. ☺️ Like any evolution process, it is not linear, but these are the levels as I’ve lived & observed them— offered with the caveat, of course, that I know absolutely nothing.

I have experienced these levels much like the stages of grief — we do not really move from one and stay in the next, but rather hop between them all. Heck, sometimes even all in the same day. Even if we can touch the top level of uncertainly with peace and grace, residing there is aspirational, but problematic (here I think of Ani Difranco’s song: Happy All the Time 🙃) And in fact every time we find ourselves back in the basic admission of l DON’T KNOW, there is in itself cause for celebration. The best part is, I believe our capacity for tolerating the unknown is directly correlated to our ability to receive miracles— or at least to be pleasantly surprised. 😌

𝙄 𝘿𝙊𝙉’𝙏 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒 • the point of entry

Sometimes this comes with a shock— often with loss or failure. It is the crack in the veneer of the presentation of an orderly, predictable life where chaos, impermanence, and vulnerability seeps in. It’s natural that we grasp and strive at this point, often somewhat successfully, if temporarily, patching over the crack and going back to confident ignorance. This is the most pervasive and sweeping level, as we find it threads through many aspects of our experiences— admitting it in one area leads to another, and another. Many people resist the ramifications of “I don’t know” so hard that they struggle with this level most of their lives. This statement alone takes tremendous courage.

𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝙉 • where s**t gets real

As we learn to accept uncertainty in ourselves, we may try to seek elsewhere. We arrive at this level by way of disillusionment and disappointment seeing someone you admire (a lover or teacher or religious/social institution) fall off a pedestal and into their humanity. We become acutely, often painfully aware of hypocrisy— in others first (usually), and then, with any luck, also ourselves. This level asks us to give up authority, righteousness, agendas, judgements. We give up collective certainty, often pinging between belief systems trying to find shelter or soothing while we learn how to be naked. We’re learning to ask better questions. Rightness gives way to undefended preference.

𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄𝙎 𝙐𝙉𝙆𝙉𝙊𝙒𝘼𝘽𝙇𝙀 • the ecstatic unraveling

While this level may hold a certain amount of existential dread, it also holds tremendous peace, and as we tickle the edge of it, even occasionally, we may start to feel immense relief. We become better acquainted with paradox. No one is flying this circus, which can feel scary, but also liberating. Old religious paradigms dissolve into a more direct and personal perception of the Divine. I think of the poem “Tripping over Joy” by Hafiz, the face of the laughing laughing Buddha, and optimistic nihilism. This is the shift of perspective from “no one cares.😞” To no one cares!🤪” Understanding anticipation is folly and even that even asking creates limitations, we may swap “manifesting” practices for those of acceptance and surrender. We may pray not for abundance but for provision— our asking gets much more simplistic, and our expression much more expanded… because, why not?

🫀🔮🧠

The heart may be the *actual* seat of our intuition— some words from Rollin McCraty, Ph.D., Director of Research at The Institute of HeartMath:

“McCraty found compelling evidence to suggest that the heart’s energy field (energetic heart) is coupled to a field of information that is not bound by the classical limits of time and space. This evidence comes from several rigorous experimental studies that investigated the proposition that the body receives and processes information about a future event before the event actually happens. One of these studies, conducted at the HeartMath laboratories, showed that both the heart and brain receive and respond to pre-stimulus information about a future event. But even more surprising is the finding that the heart seems to receive the intuitive information before the brain.

…

That the heart appears to receive intuitive information before the brain should not be all that surprising, says Mc-Craty. It just confirms what people mean when they speak of the intuitive heart or heart intelligence. The energetic heart is coupled to a deeper part of ourselves. When we are heartcentered and coherent, we have a tighter coupling and closer alignment with our deeper source of intuitive intelligence. In a heart coherent state there is an increased flow of intuitive information that is communicated via the emotional energetic system to the brain systems resulting in a stronger connection with our inner voice and allowing us access to the largely untapped potential for bringing our mental and emotional faculties into greater balance and self-directed control. Practicing shifting to a more coherent state increases intuitive awareness and leads to shifts in perception and worldviews from which better informed and more intelligent decisions can be made.”
