In Section V, the material and assignments are focused on the areas below to support your process.

Task:

Creating Mindfulness

Kenosis

Attracting Synchronicity

Metaquestions:

Who am I?

How am I conscious?

— How does this honor me?

Presuppositions:

You are not your behaviors.

You always have choice.

The real action is in non-action.

Doing and Being

When you sit down to take a breath, to enjoy some peace or to take stock of your life, are you able to do so easily and comfortably? Or does your body experience tightness and feel the need to move? Do you have spaces of silence between your thoughts? Or is there a flurry of internal voices competing for your attention — about what you “should” be doing? On a whole, if you find that you are unable to sit quietly and be in the moment, and instead feel agitated, incomplete and distracted, you are responding to internal programming according to what you have been told is acceptable. You are complying with a strong Western cultural message toward action.

In Stephen Covey’s time management matrix, he said that people in organizational settings mostly spend their time “putting out fires,” going to meetings and doing busy work. They take the least amount of their time preparing. Yet, if people allowed themselves more focus in the research and planning phase, it would preclude the large majority of “fires,” meetings and busy work! In my days of doing organizational development consulting, it used to amaze me at the leaders who espoused the values of quality and efficiency, while enforcing crisis management and overly long work hours. “Do it right the first time” may have been the buzz phrase. At the same time, the unfortunate people laboring under these mixed messages had to find the time to correct the missteps that reactive actions wrought. The instances of “doing it right the first time” were increasingly rare. Even if you are not in an organizational setting, how is this true for you?

The compulsion to “do” is seductive because “doing” is given the highest reward by Western culture. If you don’t have something you “do” then you don’t have an image to present to others and reinforce your self-worth through your accomplishments. At least, this is the false premise with which most of us have been programmed.

Because most of us have the need for societal acceptance, sometimes even in order to accept ourselves, we are compelled to do something even if we haven’t thought it through. By doing something, we can at least get moving. Because we have been taught that a void space is unacceptable, we seek to escape that anxiety. Thus, we head off blindly often to a dead-end, and certainly in keeping with homeostasis. How many times have you found that you are running in place like a hamster speeding along in a wheel?

If we keep moving, we are never forced to stop and look into our own eyes, hearts and minds. But we do certainly hear over and over again through internal voices about not being enough. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so obsessed by action and thereby avoiding feeling. If there is little feeling, then much of life’s experience is anesthetized. A sense of confusion and barrenness runs beneath the surface instead, and pops up periodically to spur us on to even more action to prove our worth.

If you give in to this compulsion toward doing, you set a pattern for yourself that has pronounced repercussions. You become heavy in the mind — very mental. You become disconnected from your body and your spirit. You tend to lead your life through the logic of your head and ignore the wisdom of your heart. Not only does this generate a sterile existence, but also a potentially dangerous one.

You are designed to be an integrated creature — mind, body and spirit. To ignore any part of you causes trouble. Your body is a wonderful barometer for truth at a feeling, or intuitive level. It communicates to you all the time. Through a “gut” sense or the warming of your heart, you will get messages about what is right for you. With pains or tensions of discomfort, it will let you know that something is out of balance in your system. Any physical symptoms that you experience are a communication. If you’re not in touch with your body and the communication goes unnoticed, the communiqué could get louder and louder until your body finally gets your attention. By that time, the root cause of the communication could be much farther along than you would like. On the other hand, an over-focus on the body can lead to hypochondria where any little twinge is taken as a message of disaster. Another way of obsessing on the body is to exercise or diet into some kind of frenzy, or thinking that you should, and finding that your body is never thin enough or muscular enough. With this kind of obsession you won’t find a sense of ease because you are identifying your body with your complete identity. You are making comparisons of yourself against the unattainable ideals projected upon you by the media, rather than what is healthy for your own composition.

Opening to your spirit lifts you up out of a narrow existence and allows a wider perspective. Through a more expanded viewpoint, you can see the temporary nature of the conditions in your life. At the same time, you can see the perfection of the threads of those experiences to weave a tighter tapestry producing the make-up of who you are in a larger and more complete sense. Being aware of the levels of learning in which you immerse yourself brings a sense of purpose — and possibility. At the same time, over-attention on the spiritual aspect can lead to magical thinking and a lack of any activity to manifest in the material plane.

Perhaps the real message of not being enough comes from unconscious wisdom and we misinterpret it. What we are really telling ourselves is that we’re not being in the moment enough. If we’re truly in the moment, we are able to develop a profound presence of mind. We are able to clear away the debris that continually ricochets in the caverns of the brain like some punch-drunk fighter. We’re able to discern what is real and what is so much propaganda, whatever the source.

The tenet, the real action is in non-action, actually means that you are willing to be in a place of silence and inactivity so that clarity is able to arise. Out of true knowledge, intentful action moves with laser-like precision. It is only the ultimate balance of mind, body and spirit — doing and being — that creates the fullest, healthiest life.

Habitual Distractions: Most people have ways that they habitually distract themselves and escape from what they are uneasy of facing. Journal about the questions below to explore your coping mechanisms.

1. Where do you retreat in times of stress? What do you do to cope of not cope?

2. What is the positive intention behind this behavior?

3. What are at least three other ways you could serve that intention that are just as good or better than what you had been doing and lead to intent?

4. How will you stop yourself if you find yourself automatically going to the old behavior? How will you honor yourself instead?

5. What is your level of commitment? How will you acknowledge yourself in your success?

Striving to Surrender

Our enculturation follows us. No matter where we go, there we are — until we aren’t. At least, not in the old way. In a culture that prizes the fast track and material goods over the relaxed appreciation of a natural life, people have an amazing struggle in their attempts to connect with what is real at a core level. I know because I had the same challenge. Now I witness others striving to surrender. This particular oxymoron is so prevalent I am compelled to comment on it here.

Seekers often have such a profound craving for things simple and real, the connection to a deeper existence. Looking for what they don’t have, they use the same strategies they might use to train for a marathon. When the Being state doesn’t come, they experience angst and strive for it some more — while only giving up can bring it about. It’s about giving up the mindset we’ve been taught, which has normally been reinforced all our lives by the environment surrounding us. It’s hard to find sanctuary if we’re being whipped into a frenzy by internal and external messages about “getting it right,” “doing more,” and so on. The eternal carrot is somehow forever just out of reach. That mentality just doesn’t work on the spiritual path.

In order to break with an old habit, we need to be shown otherwise. The “how” needs to be there. In our Western culture, it’s a challenge to find the “how” for this particular model of the other world. My own shifting agent came through my work with mystic Don Américo Yábar and Indigenous peoples. Through modeling the natives of Peru and explicit instruction from Don Américo, I learned to have a kind of connection that I couldn’t even have dreamt of before, because I didn’t know of the possibility. Now I am able to live in concert with What Is in a way that is a challenge to put into words. From this place clarity exists that guides non-action. What is needed is attracted through intent.

It takes stepping out of our usual habit creating a quiet space of retreat — to allow what has always been present to become apparent. I’m often asked this question by questers: “What can I do to surrender?” There’s no doing about it. There’s merely holding intent toward being. That’s our birthright.

Activating the Witness

Examine everything you’ve been told and dismiss anything that insults your soul.

— Walt Whitman

You have already been given several tools to use and additional ways of making decisions about your life. Even though these things may be new to you, now is the time to put your learning in place and further activate the ally within yourself to assist you on your journey. That ally is your inner Witness. This is the part of you who is able to remain objective. This is the part that, even while you’re saying what you’re saying or doing what you’re doing, stands back and observes. Not only does your Witness observe, that part also brings in knowledge — in a neutral yet truthful way. This is a way that you can begin to understand the dynamics of what you manifest in your life and make further changes as it seems useful to do so.

Unless your change process is dramatic, it may be a challenge for you to see the shift happening because it can unfold in such subtle ways that you hardly notice it. Yet, you are immersed in the transformational journey. Call on your Witness to assist you in the process of documenting what has changed and what yet needs more attention. Here are some areas where your Witness can help.

Mastery: Are you on the road to mastery? Are you committed to your process? Mastery is a continual road of focused intent that leads to gradual progress. Make sure you’re not just dabbling. A dabbler will feel great initial enthusiasm. But when actual reforms need to be made, and they aren’t necessarily easy, or dramatic metamorphosis doesn’t come right away, the dabbler won’t follow through and slides back toward the status quo. The master understands the dynamics of homeostasis and moves forward anyway, even if moving forward is resting on a plateau for a while. Mastery is the great leap followed by the rest that allows integration. This careful process feeds perpetual momentum.

Lifting the Mask: As said earlier, “doing” is well rewarded by our societal standards. What you do leads to an image you present. An image you present is often tied up with a role you play. Always remember that an image or role is not who you are. Some people make that terrible mistake so that their identity and role is so tied together in their mind that when a role changes, they no longer know who they are. Consider the one whose role of mother or father is so much a part of who they think they are that when the children leave home, as they invariably do, they experience a tremendous loss of identity. The same is true with the person whose intimate relationship shifts. No longer being a spouse or life partner, who are they? Or, the person whose identity is wrapped up in their career and gets laid off or retires. Not only do these people suffer confusion, but their health can also be severely affected.

There are other roles you may play that relate to behaviors. Are you known as The Intellectual, The Compassionate One, The Tyrant, The Conservative? Do you play a special role within your family?

While you are not the roles you play, they are outward manifestations of the choices you make and what you show the world. Which of your roles are true to your nature? Which did you take on and to satisfy whom? How separated or enmeshed are you regarding your roles and your identity?

Internal Experiences: Your Witness can track the transformative process by helping you to be aware of such things as your own thoughts, emotional feelings, body feelings and verbal expression. Rather than be unconscious about what is going on internally, pay attention. The content of your self-talk and the language you use to describe your thoughts is paramount to understanding your own belief system. The same is true for your energy level and emotions. How are these things different than they were before? How are they the same? Therein lies the key toward what you need to focus on in order to ensure your progress.

Relationship Dynamics: You don’t operate in a vacuum. You rub elbows with others.

Sometimes you merge with them. Sometimes you bounce off each other. Your Witness can help you see the useful and also detrimental aspects of your relationships. By standing back as an observer, not only can you see the dynamics you would otherwise miss, you can also find additional ways of relating.

Telltale Signs

In order to set intent for what is to come, it’s useful to notice where you most focus your attention in time. If you were to close your eyes and get a sense of where your energy goes — a bodily felt sensation — do you feel a pull back to the past? Toward the future? Are you solidly rooted in the present? Or some combination of these?

Most people in Western culture live in the past or future. Neither actually exists except as reference points in our minds. What we have is the eternal Now. Since living in the present may not be familiar, we need to school ourselves to do it. If someone learns this skill well, it provides a pathway of clarity. The question is: how and why?

Since everything is energy, there are signatures that live within each individual. These are the markers that indicate your state of being in relation to just about everything. From the past, we carry beliefs about ourselves, others and the world at large. Each belief has a quality of energy to it, from light to heavy. The lighter the energy, the more it serves us well and we move through the world with grace and ease, in spite of what may be happening around us. The heavier the energy, the more mired down we may feel, the more affected by our environments and the less we may move into new territory that would better benefit us. All of this is resident in the energy field of the body — and it’s possible to feel it, to sort out the source and undertake processes to release the old way, if necessary.

But you can only do it by being present and attuning to what is happening in the moment. By being aware of your energy body and holding thoughts about possible future paths, decisions can be made with a sense of clarity. The Core Self possesses the wisdom to guide you. It communicates loudly through the state of your energy. If you ignore that part of yourself, then the past and future most often become the same, in ways that take you off track, and you missed the present altogether.

Years ago I worked with a woman who had been actively schooling herself, and she brought her learning to me. Through our mentoring, she has begun to live much more in her body and to notice the information that it brings to her on a day-to-day level. As she moved out of her old limiting beliefs, she was also able to catch herself when she started to exhibit an old trait. Her method is beautifully simple. It comes from the comparison of intent and intention as I’ve taught it.

Already knowing what intent is and how that feels through long distance running, she started off by playing with the word intention to understand it better.

Intention.

In-tention.

In tension.

The light bulb went on! Now when she finds her body in tension in some way, she recognizes that it’s an old pattern attempting a return. And she releases the thought or stops the activity that took her there.

Creating Space

In order to allow new things to manifest, it’s necessary to take a good look at how your life is currently filled. Often because of cultural pressures, life beliefs or simply mindlessness, your life may be full with activities that have little relevance to your intent and outcomes. Your energy may be bogged down. A symptom of this condition is procrastinating, feeling confused, overwhelmed or inadequate somehow.

Now is the time to even more mindfully choose where you put your time and energy. If something is irrelevant or taking too much of your life energy, you can begin to empty that space. Since nature abhors a vacuum, something else will automatically flow in to fill that emptiness. In the beginning of this coursework, you set an intent, prioritized your lifestyle components and decided upon specific outcomes. Now is the time to even more fully step onto the path that honors you. In order to do so, explore on an everyday level what may have been distracting you from your purpose thus far.

Unfinished Business: What have you agreed to do that you’ve left undone? What do you have hanging over your head? Unfinished business can be tasks that you told someone else or yourself that you would do. It can be some incomplete and maybe difficult communication relevant to a relationship. It can be anything that you have not completed that you experience as sucking your energy somehow¾in the foreground or background of your mind.

1. List your items of unfinished business.

2. Identify any of these items that you feel that you “should” or “have to” do.

a. What is the positive intention behind the “should” or “have to”?

b. Weigh the benefits and detriments of the tasking itself relevant to your truth to yourself.

3. Identify any unfinished business items that you feel you can’t do.

a. What stops you from doing it?

b. What would happen if you did it?

c. What would happen if you didn’t do it?

d. What is the positive intention behind can’t?

4. Identify any items that you won’t do.

a. What stops you from doing it?

b. What is the positive intention behind won’t?

c. Are any of these items on your plate because you wanted to say no and instead said yes?

5. Value Check: How do these unfinished business items hold up for or against your personal values?

6. Commitment: This is about your commitment to complete your unfinished business in whatever form is in alignment with your personal truth.

a. Which of your unfinished business items are you committed to do?

b. Which of your items can you delegate to someone else?

c. How will you dispose of those where you have no commitment or can delegate?

d. Prioritize those you have committed to do as to level of importance. Identify when you will complete them. If an item is large, break it down into smaller chunks in order to experience movement and satisfaction. Remember: take one bite of an elephant at a time.

Starting Within

Periodically, people contact me expressing their frustrations and deep sadness in not having what they want. It may have to do with giving their gift to the world, advancing a profession, feeling isolated, or any number of things including physical health. Oftentimes, we look outside ourselves and blame other people, the environment in which we find ourselves. While any or all of these things may well play a role, if we focus on these things we give away our own power and allow ourselves to feel hopeless and remain stuck.

In my own life and in my work with others, I continue to be only too aware that what we hold in our minds comes true in our experiences. The beliefs we unconsciously carry produce thoughts and actions that emerge to attract a model of the world to which those beliefs align. What comes to us is merely reciprocity for what we hold as true internally.

I have great respect for those who are willing to first start looking within for the blockages in order to move forward. It takes an incredible amount of courage, not only to start but to continue this quest. We would love to think that “when I get through this everything will be perfect.” There is no perfection and the layering of our psyches runs deep. However, things do progress — if we stay on the path — and we can often rest securely before the next segment of learning.

The Universe works in very interesting ways to point out teachings. If we find many barriers to a particular destination, it is usually one of two things. Either we are going in a direction that is not true for us, or there is something within ourselves that is stopping the flow of events that will take us there.

If we have little passion for the destination we identified, then it’s time to go inside to determine where the shoulds are — usually from old conditioning that doesn’t fit, coercing us in various ways to buy into what is not true for us. If passion is present, but we only move forward in fits and starts, we need to take an inventory of what resides within us that is getting in the way. Either way, the pathway out first starts inward.

To begin to uncover our beliefs, we can listen to any internal voices. They will often be a good clue to the trail’s end. The messages we give ourselves are the key to take us deeper into the core of the matter. The good news is that we can change our beliefs to something that will serve us and propel us forward. We can certainly do this discovery work ourselves, and it often takes facilitation by someone well versed in this work to take us to the transformation point.

Some of the beliefs we hold are such a block that someone else must guide us to what we can’t yet see or understand. When we tap the right place, limiting beliefs vacate and we can insert others rich in possibility and probability that fit for us now.

Paving the Way of the Future

Purpose: To weigh choices; to step into a fuller, richer life.

1. Imagine a timeline on the floor to represent your past, present and two branching futures.

2. Stepping into the present, experience what it’s like to be in the present with any of the ways you habitually distract yourself and/or maintain unfinished business. Also be aware of the resources you have presently. Notice how you feel in your body, posture, any internal dialogue.

3. Turn and look back into the past to witness how long any of these habitual responses or unfinished business may have been present. What are the ways that the pathway has been challenged or blocked as a result?

Witness your resources as they’ve manifested back in time. How have they served you in navigating your lifepath?

Graphic: Carla Woody.

4. Recall your desired outcomes (Setting the Direction, Section 2) and place them out in the future. From the present, if the status quo endures, experience one possible future down the left leg of the “Y”. How probable is your desired lifestyle? The level of attainability on a scale of 1 (little likelihood) to 10 (100% certainty)? Witnessing the future through the status quo, what is the level of ease, challenge or deviation?

5. Leave the present and step into the observer. As the observer, witnessing the past, present and future through the status quo, identify what additional resources would enrich the pathway toward the desired outcomes? What added core states of excellence would release and transform habitual responses and unfinished business?

6. From the observer space, create the present+ space at the threshold of the right branch of the “Y”. Place those core states and resources in that space and witness the self of the short-term future. Sense yourself there with those full capabilities. Notice how you feel in your body, posture, any internal dialogue. What is different?

7. Step into the present+ space allowing yourself to integrate the resources and core states resident here. From present+, experience your future down the right leg of the “Y”. How probable is your desired lifestyle? The level of attainability on a scale of 1 (little likelihood) to 10 (100% certainty)? Witnessing the future, what is the level of ease, challenge or deviation?

8. Return to the observer space. Are there any other resources that would make your capabilities even more powerful?” If so, repeat steps 6 & 7.

Spiritual Travel: Destination of Process?

Some years ago I had an inquiry from someone who was interested in the Entering the Maya Mysteries program I was sponsoring; specifically he was enticed by a destination on the itinerary. He’d done a search and I was the only one offering the opportunity. “But,” he said. “I’m not so sure about this ‘spiritual travel’ stuff.”

How to explain something so intangible? In one respect, it contains elements of tangibility: sites and interactions. Invisible to the naked eye, perhaps unanticipated by the mind, are myriad ways to be drawn into the deeper journey that define these potentially uncharted waters — without conscious realization in the moment that you’ve taken the plunge. Hence, enter aspects that: may have no words or audible sound, cannot be held in your hands, your eye can’t get a bead on, can seem ordinary but aren’t. Yet it produces something akin to a lightning strike that splits the rough outer covering and creates an opening, a probable pathway — and a tangible result. There appears a fork in the road inviting decision. It’s not the territory for a faint-hearted tourist but the traveler of a different sort.

I personally welcome those unending layers and outcomes, only bits and pieces of the larger picture solidifying long after closure of the initiation. I’ve had the great fortune, maybe even destiny, to create such organic spaces, through many years’ relationship-building and travel with special intent: being alert to those people and places who offer themselves as powerful conduits. These elements being necessary to push the energy — our energy — to catapult us beyond places that have grown familiar.

My brand of spiritual travel is physically comprised of sacred sites, ceremonies and those who keep the rituals and stories. The travelers who show up to participate also act as catalysts. An entrainment occurs and each one gains what they need to further the collective and their own journey. And we find out what it’s like to be at play in a field of mirrors: coming face-to-face with aspects that call out for healing and simultaneously create beauty. I personally celebrate it all.

The question arises: do you have to travel to experience such initiation? You do. We are creatures of habit who tend to cling to a mindset that is familiar, even if not particularly healthy. You must be willing to move outside the container: to be fearless, to be open, to explore. You must embody courage to create a wider life. That’s travel.

The fast track requires putting the daily life on pause and dropping yourself into an unfamiliar environment to rediscover what you forgot. When people gather with this common intent, magic happens. They give themselves permission to explore parts of themselves they’re not so in touch with. Add exposure to Indigenous peoples who inherit a sense of the sacred as an integral aspect of life — and a landscape of possibility appears.

When that happens it leaves an indelible impression and shifts who you are in the world. I frequently face a challenge finding words to express the profound value of the intangible elements running through the lifework I’ve chosen. I currently live in a culture that values the immediate result while ignoring the process that’s all-important in creating something of deep meaning that endures. My sense is that, if we’re able to finally find comfort floating in the abyss, it will produce all that’s ever needed–beyond what we could imagine.

But it takes travel. I’ll leave you with this quote from A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller:

And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life; and you can’t go back to being normal; you can’t go back to the meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.
