Akita mani yo...
...Lakota for "observe everything as you go". I live my life by this phrase and use it a lot.
My Facebook friend, Christin, asked today:
"Why was the Facebook interwebz so broken yesterday? =)"
I have actually given this topic a lot of thought because, as many of you know, I believe messages are around us in everything and we can read the happenings of our lives exactly as we might a dream.
My response to her was this:
"Since everything is symbolism to me, I feel it represents a major shift into a different reality. There has been discussion about Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp merging their chat platforms into one and all three were experiencing outages yesterday. I think there is also a merging of realities happening as well. Three story arcs becoming one."
After my initial comment, my mind kept processing and expanding on those thoughts, therefore I knew a blog post would probably be the result of those ruminations.
Social media, in general, is ALL about communication. So, symbolically, communication is the glue that binds and brings three to be one. It is only natural that there will be some little hiccups along the way as we bring them together as one.
As within, so without.
If what we see outside of us first starts within us, what does this mean is happening internally within us?
I believe it is the Holy Trinity coming into balance within us. It is bringing our poles together to be one being and then create something new. It is the Vesica Piscis which is two circles that join. The meeting point where they overlap is where something new is created as a result. That is why, when we talk about sacred marriage, one plus one equals three.
Father + Mother = Child
Head + Heart = Soul
Thinking + Feeling = Knowing
Seeing + Hearing = Speaking
Right + Left = Center
Effective non-blaming communication is the essential glue that binds them together in order to work together. When head and heart learn to communicate effectively and work together, they can then become something new in their balanced state.
Isaiah 11:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them.
Anyone who has embarked upon a journey back to self can tell you how difficult it can be as we learn to communicate with ourselves in a new way so that our internal dialogue helps us rather than hinders us. Multiple versions of our old selves burn away. The more we learn to communicate better between head and heart and not allow one more power than the other, the easier it is to bring that to the external and communicate more effectively with others.
The above passage from Isaiah is ALL about bringing those internal poles together as a harmonious team. When the sacred marriage between head and heart takes place, we are internally reborn into the child of that sacred union. That is why a child shall lead them. When we transform, three becomes one harmonious being where effective communication becomes second nature.
