Perceptual Shift

While doing Tai Chi Chi Gong hold the vision of your assemblage point anchored in its perfect spot flexible at the heart center.

Hold the vision of energies being moved and circulated throughout the luminous egg, clearing, energizing, and mobilizing your energy body.

As if holding onto a vision on high your attention assemblage is nested with an upward slant ensuring a healthy alert awareness.

Can it be so simple that a persons attitude, perception, energy, awareness, health, and prosperity are tied to the posture of the assemblage point?  This is exactly what it seems the Toltecs believe.

Try it and see……  Intend to hold your attention as if your consciousness and perception is assembled from a vortex of energy coming in at a slight upward angle from the top of the heart chakra.

Work with this for several days and write down any differences you perceive and feel. 

With this practice you may gradually re-anchor your assemblage point in more maximal position for the unfoldment of your life.

It could be said that the assemblage point is the lens through which we experience Life.  When that lens is askew, nothing will appear in its normal light or its normal focus… Della Van Hise

The assemblage point is the energetic area of your energy body where perception is assembled.

The position and the stability of the position of the assembly point determines the world you live in the world you perceive and the state of your life, health and emotions.

The ideal position to anchor the assemblage of perception for a balanced, healthy, happy life is in the heart chakra area near the thymus as shown in the previous post.

The tools you will use to move and anchor your perceptual gateway in this position are intent and energy.  Hold the intent to anchor your assemblage in the upper heart chakra while using your energy to collect and move it.

Various techniques can be used to facilitate collecting and anchoring your assemblage.

• You can do tai chi or chi gong with the intent of collecting assembly energies and restoring them to the heart chakra.
• You can do breathing meditation with the intent of collecting scattered assemblage or moving a displaced assemblage back to the heart chakra.
• You can place your posture in a position holding the heart center forward and uplifted.
• Hold the perception throughout your day of the vortex of energy of your assemblage being securely anchored in the heart chakra.
• Exercise moving your head, eyes, and body while holding awareness of your assemblage center nested in its heart center.

You can create various techniques to anchor your assemblage point, the key is intent and to use your personal energy.  You can see previous posts on this topic on June 8 & 9th 2009, or you can search assemblage point in the upper right box.

Considering the relationship of everything and how different things exist in the oneness of all I am reminded of the concept of the assemblage point.  It seems that each material construct, each material entity is a different assembly of alignments of perception. 

An entity is itself specific alignments of perception of the whole.  The focused conscious perception of the entity is a small heightened component of the total alignment of the entity.  Everyone is able to shift the alignment of their assemblage to some extent as they process information throughout the day. 

In the flow of life the alignment of perception of an entity is in continuous flux.

The assemblage point is real. With training, the practitioner can see a client’s assemblage point with the conscious physical eye, feel it with the hands, and measure it with scientific equipment. And, one can learn to feel it within the self. Most people who achieve this level of awareness express surprise that they had not felt it earlier.   ….People who have their assemblage point restored to the center of their chest often describe themselves as “in the flow.” For them, life seems effortless and joyful……. …. a must read …. http://assemblagepointshift.com/article1.htm 

Moving the assemblage point is simply a matter of intent and energy

I have reviewed moving the assemblage point in previous posts.  One of the easiest ways to shift your assemblage point that gives an immediate emotional change is to shift your posture. 

Where is your AP centered?  Is it near its place of normal balance at the heart center?  Or is it off to the left or right or in the head?

Throw your shoulders back, ears over the shoulders, stand proud, chest forward and intend that your power center is your heart center.  Can you feel a difference?  Intend to hold and embrace this position as your maximum place of being.  Perceive a flowing vortex of energy about the heart center.

….the egoistic perspective will never co-operate with this process….When the assemblage point is centralized in the chest, it acts to light and waken the heart perspective. We are lent a literal second seat of perception, or container of consciousness, through which the trapped unconscious information begins to flow from our depths. This event restores self-healing,   ….Cheyenne Maloney

BE SKEPTICAL, BUT LEARN TO LISTEN

Don’t believe yourself or anybody else. Use the power of doubt to question everything you hear: Is it really the truth? Listen to the intent behind the words, and you will understand the real message. don Miguel Ruiz

The Doctrine of Signatures is an interesting concept of Jakob Bohne’s.  He had a mystical vision that the creator put a sign on all things so that we could easily recognize their meanings.

Paracelsus continued this line of thinking by asserting that plants had a likeness to a particular body part, organ, or aspect of the body and this is where the plant would have an effect…….  believing that function followed form and that like cures like. An example is seaweed bladder-wrack, used in hypothyroidism.  The two bladders hanging down into a V shape look exactly like an enlarged thyroid gland.  Pam Montgomery,  Plant Spirit Healing.

Look at the flower below of eyebright… at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jfpics/2723140019/ also called euphrasia.   See the eyes?

Why is it that people choose to ignore the intelligence of plants and other creatures?  Why do we separate ourselves from these other intelligences and treat them as if they are nothing?  History shows that past human cultures have held their ecosystem in high regard. Those that did not quickly collapsed.  

Why is it that modern humans resist accepting the interconnection and intelligence of all living things?  If you ask anyone at random their opinion of communication with plants, you can be assured they will question your sanity.

Why is it that people separate themselves psychologically from the great intelligent ecosystem that supports us.  We are getting dire signals of distress from our ecosystem because we are ignoring its intelligence, believing that meager human “conscious intelligence” is superior. 

Many books and documentaries now detail the intelligence of plants and animals and their capacity to read our thoughts, emotions and intents.  (I could easily list 50 books on plant, and animal intelligence research)  We do not need to go to other worlds.  There is so much we do not understand about our relationships on this world.  So much human misery is a result of our refusal to accept awareness of what is right here.  Why?

Why are we perceptually blind to the intelligence in nature that is continually communicating?  Why has society and culture blinded us to awareness and gratitude of plant and animal intelligence?  What is the answer?

Is it possible that those who seek to control us have succeeded enormously by removing us from the intelligence found in nature?  How much time do you spend in nature?

The blinders of today encourage us to see (perceive) the non human world as threatening, hostile, mechanistic, subserviant, boring, irrelivant and even evil.   The great engine of commercialism ensures that our perception is continually distracted by material desires leaving little time for awareness of nature.

If one is to go out into nature and find his own morality, sustenance, and connection to Creation, then he is no longer a slave to the laws and demands of others on high.  He is actually free.  How many such people do you know today?

Most people readily accept the intelligence of their pet cat or dog, yet resist accepting the highly developed intelligence of  the African Violet on their table as they eat the highly intelligent cow, fish, celery, and corn without a thought of gratitude or awareness of what it is.

There seems to be something in our communal psyche  that says it is all right to destroy and use without consideration all of nature as if each thing is ignorant, without feelings, emotions, or thoughts. 

Because no one has any experience of nature and the intelligence of nature it seems rationally ok to ignore and destroy nature.  

Those forces that would control you and me know that they can not control a person who lives a self sustaining life in nature.  They know that to control us, they only need to dangle the distraction of our desires in front of us.

Consumerism forever binds your fate to the wheel of buying more and more useless entertainment and material products while perpetually creating more and more desires.

Genesis…   fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground…..   

This scripture and others like it beget the great human egocentricity ….of man’s separation from nature…. and enabled political/religious control through the resulting destruction of man’s perceptual awareness of the natural world.   The image of  man supreme on earth, created a society where man sure of his supremacy, neglected  and lost his connection to nature and the Creator, leaving the priest and the politician to make laws and rules for the ignorant masses. 

Strange isn’t it.  These books recorded by man sanctify the destruction of nature created by God.

All that is necessary to start to accept the intelligences in our world is to express an inner gratitude while you eat.    From there you can begin to learn that it is the spirit of these beings that we are eating.

If we do not eat other living beings we die.  It is the law of nature, one thing consumes the other.  Nothing is wasted or lost, all is recycled, eventually, even radioactive waste.

Be aware that plants and animals are intelligent communicating spirits.  They are your allies and teachers.

The following quotes taken from page 23 and 24 of Plant Spirit Healing by Pam Montgomery.  Plants have intricate signaling systems to alert their neighbors when danger is near…… they receive signals and remember…..  Plant’s enormous protein molecules can handle enormous amounts of information, which results in an enormous capacity for complexity in communication and retention.  As Jeremy Narby says, “Science now indicates that plants, like animals and humans, can learn about the world around them and use cellular mechanisms similar to those we rely on.  Plants learn, remember, and decide, without brains.”  A new filed of study has emerged called plant neurobiology.  The investigation of plant intelligence is becoming a serious scientific endeavour.

Have you ever heard ….. You are what you eat?

You CAN avoid GMOs, if you know what to look for.

First of all, remember there are eight genetically modified food crops:

• Soy
• Corn
• Cottonseed (used in vegetable cooking oils)
• Canola (canola oil)
• Sugar from sugar beets
• Hawaiian papaya
• Some varieties of zucchini
• Crookneck squash

This was taken from the Ringing Cedars Newsletter. 

The news letter goes on to explain research done showing that the 3rd generation of animals fed on gmo’s are sterile.  Remember the admonition…. Don’t mess with Mother Nature!

Individuals in positions of great power are aware of this and they could well be promoting GMO’s as a tool to reduce population… a scary thought.

Ethnobotanicals are plants that indigenous cultures have used for thousands of years to alter their perception in order to heal and divine information not attainable in a normal state of perception.  There is a increased interest in ethnobotanicals as many people are looking for answers to their personal and spiritual questions that readily available science has no answer too.

The study of perceptual shifting would not be complete without considering the use of helper plants to assist in altering perception in ways that are safe and beneficial.

Every shamanic culture that I have studied has a reliance on plant medicine.  The plants are the teachers and the allies of the shaman.  The shaman knows that plants are teacher spirits not chemical factories producing dead chemicals for consumption as food and medicine.

We have been trained to be afraid of the wild; wild plants, and wild animals.  You would do well to begin to learn from nature, the true nature of the world.  Nature is the book of God.  You will lean more of God from that book than from a book written by man.

It seems that the language of the universe that is read by all things is the language of love and intention.

The mysterious energy through which we communicate with plants is love and intention.  These are the essence of the universe.    Alfred Vogel, author of The Nature Doctor.

Modern man may be blind, deaf and dumb to the awareness of plants, yet that does not change the fact that plants remain intensely aware of the intents and thoughts of man.  Man can set aside prejudices and resume the awareness all living things are born with.

Recommended reading, The Secret Life of Plants, The Nature Doctor,  Primary Perception: Biocommunication with Plants, Living Foods, and Human Cells.

He asked a friend 700 miles away to send the intention of love to her plants that were connected to lie detector equipment, and recorded the plants reactions.  Backster was able to prove that not only did the plants respond totheir owners thoughts at the moment she sent them, but that they also felt her anxiety when her plane touched down at her destination.  Even when the plants were locked in a lead container, the results were the same….  Plant Spirit Shamanisim by Ross Heaven and Howard Charing.

Nature is the book of God. 

If you consider that all of nature was created then all of nature is the book of the Creator. 

Likewise all manuscripts are the work of man and are the books of men.

Nature is an honest guide.  Men have agendas.

It seems like so much of life is a charade, a masquerade designed to keep everyone distracted or in the dark about who is really controlling the world.  Politics, professional sports, religion, corporate employment, entertainment all seem designed to preoccupy awareness so that you never question the status quo, so that you are easily manipulated.  You become a resource to someone or something.  Like a mineral resource…….. the term is human resource.

To these people, resources are to be used and expended.  Your only value to them is to be used, ie enslaved.  Don’t fall into that trap.

Your responsibility is to become aware, to be perceptual, to enable yourself to live a lifestyle immune from overt control.  This is a different lifestyle, but you can choose to be perceptually aware and work to maintain your personal independence.
