My
Perspective:Portals, Journeys, and Judgment
by Chris LaFontaine
Over
the past few years I have noticed that often I find myself immersed
in a personal experience just before I am to write or otherwise
communicate with others. I am aware that at times I have been confronted
with a personal challenge prior to speaking to a group, and I would
realize that the insights which opened became the focus of my presentation.
This phenomenon has again occurred, and I find myself in a process
of distillation and clarification as I begin this article. I am
writing about the subject of this current exploration as a part
of the exploration itself, and I'll share with you the outcome as
I discover it for myself. I sense that somewhere in the swirl of
my feelings and thoughts lies a core awareness attempting to surface
about the nature of the process of creation.
When
I have this kind of experience it is as though a dimensional portal
opens and I am swept through to something new and totally unexpected.
These kinds of moments stand out both while they occur and long
afterward, and there is always a recognition that something has
just happened but I don't know what. Something is set into motion
and considerable energy is present in support while all else takes
on a rarefied sense of pure mystery. A flow opens and away I go.
The
trigger for this most recent journey of expansion began 11 days
ago when I received e-mail from a regular reader of the Lightsmith
Live Wire. This reader offered a few personal thoughts and then
mentioned interest in a particular web site and asked if I had visited
it. I read those words and suddenly found myself in one of those
portal-like experiences with an intense interest and the immediate
response to go check out the site. I'll provide the name and the
web link for this site, but for now I'd ask you to hang in with
me as I continue this process.
I'll
give you the briefest summary of what I found when I clicked my
mouse and the adventure began. The site contains art, music, and
poetry purported to have been found in an underground series of
chambers in New Mexico, supposedly having been placed there by a
group of future humans. A story about these objects is given in
an interview format between what we are told is an anonymous reporter
and a scientist who has defected from a high-level secret government
project.
The
story was captivating and the information given was quite detailed
in several sections. I found myself printing out all the pages
as well as making copies of the art and music for myself. I announced
the existence of this site on the Lightsmith web page and invited
comments. I also began noting my own responses to what I was reading
and came to certain conclusions about the material. Finally I searched
internet news groups and other postings for more information about
the site and seemed to discover some things that matched what I
had decided.
What
I felt was true was that many materials presented on the site as
originating from different sources were actually created by the
same source. I sensed that the energetic structures were too similar
and I also noticed several words mis-used in the same way across
all the documents. Now, I don't mean to sound like I am writing
an article about my Sherlock Holmes tendencies. I've given you the
information so I could share some further observations in context,
because here's where it got more interesting for me.
Much
of the discussion I found was centered around whether or not the
story given on the site was true. It seemed pretty clear that the
author(s) created the various interviews and memos that were posted,
and so it seemed to be dismissed by some people as a hoax and generally
discredited. However, that is not the end of the story as far as
I'm concerned. I was amazed at my own sustained energy and a sort
of fury as I found myself burning my way through this site, and
it was all the more noticeable to me because I seldom get pulled
so completely into what I find on any one of the jillion web sites
out there.
And
that leads me to the crossroads of my journey: I found myself in
the position of knowing that the documents weren't what they said
they were, yet someone of many talents opened to the flow of creation
and put into form an outpouring of the story of what we're moving
through and becoming. As far as I'm concerned there is considerable
truth to much of the material presented and significant awareness
demonstrated in the art. It is perhaps a demonstration of the need
to be able to be comfortable with paradox as we move through these
times. Certainly it is a sterling opportunity to practice discernment
as well as recognize that WHAT IS MEANINGFUL TO YOU HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH SOMEBODY ELSE'S OPINIONS AND JUDGMENTS. The web site
at the center of this tale affected me because of what it is, not
because of what it isn't.
I
have felt this adventure pushing hard in my 3rd center. It's about
power, control, and an anger that surfaces when judgment is placed
on the expression and creation of another, and then what happens
when the flow of energy is directed away from creation and re-directed
to the one doing the judging. It is an insidious usurping of power,
and it is deeply ingrained in our systems. It's a scam and a collective
wound that keeps millions feeling powerless, unheard and unseen.
We've done it to others and they've done it to us, but most significant
to me is how much we've done it to ourselves. Crystallizing opinions
in the mind and flowing love through the heart are not compatible
states of being.
I
also find surfacing a reflection on the nature of creation and conscious
creation. Something in my experience with this site triggered a
deep shift, and I begin to glimpse more of how what we are evolving
is quite different from much of what we have thought we meant by
being conscious creators or Creator within creation. At least in
part, conscious creation is being in the awareness that the forces
and intentions of creation are moving through us, acting us, and
dancing into form as a reflection of itself which then moves back
through us as an experience. It is not the small self sitting with
our declarations, affirmations and goals, it is our Large self,
great aspect of Creator Spirit that is now able to merge into our
bodies of matter and move in the physical with the same freedom
as in the non-physical. What a piece of work is this hu/man
.......... indeed!
So
I ask these questions rhetorically as well as for myself: Are we
willing to finally release our hold on our small view of what we
think we are and open to the greater nature of our beings? Are we
willing to begin to choose the energy of joy as our reality and
trust where it leads us? Are we willing to declare this earth as
our home and together create a magnificent experience befitting
wondrous beings? I sense that it is truly the next step for some,
perhaps for many who have found their way to this journal.
One
last thing. There are no experts about how everything works in this
new matrix of creation. After all, it's new. We're on a journey
together, and we're making it all up! There isn't any way you can
do anything "wrong", so let go and engage the flow.
I
thank the artist behind the presentation I read. The whole adventure
has been challenging and supportive to my own desire to step forward
into my own creations. If you're interested in exploring the site
you will find it at www.wingmakers.com.
Did you read The Celestine Prophecy? Was there something that spoke
to you even while knowing that the story was fiction? My suggestion
is to approach this site the same way. Let your mind loosen it's
grip and your hearts and imaginations open. Give yourself permission
to suspend belief while paying attention to your body for the cues
of discernment. Open the door and step through the portal, and let
me know what you find there.
