"Considerations for Objectivity & Personal Cosmological Navigation in the Personal Growth Endeavor" ["ObjctvtyAndClrPath.html" -12/20/01; was "Considerations for Personal Cosmology Cartography & Navigation," PCARTOGR.TXT, 2-15-97] This writing is about objectivity and determining orientation and navigation from one's point of reference, having first determined one's point of reference.¹ An affirmation is included at the end of this writing which provides exercise in clarification or use of (what a student of Buddhism would probably term) "identification" and "non-identification." A Key Question to begin with: From the Heart Chakra as Point Of Reference, what is one's subjective paradigm (including one's feelings) in regard to 'Jane' or 'Dick' as potential mate, and what is one's plan of navigation relative to that paradigm. Has that paradigm been the point of reference, or has it been only one of the sub-references for determining one's navigation? Another way of saying that: Has one been "taking it personal" (in regard to some communication), or has one been consciously choosing how much weight to give the particular feelings involved in determining what would be the most loving response -- thus allowing/extending compassion within to self and outwardly to others? Or still another way to ask, Considering the cosmology that is outlined by the 5 basic levels or bodies (Spiritual, Etheric, Mental, Emotional, and Physical): How does one find oneself in an objective position to be cognizant of these levels or bodies, the basics of what they offer in terms of consciousness and awareness and resources and choices, and then make appropriate choices as to points of view and all that each point of view would offer -- relative to the situation(s) at hand -- that would maintain and/or further resonate one with one's integrity? ² It is through such considerations and questions that one may increase awareness of one's own standards and definitions for self-motivation, self-empowerment, and self-approval -- as opposed to unconsciously resonating with an old parental belief system or with the prevailing mood/feeling of other persons/groups, etc. And thus one is also less inclined to be "in denial" of old stored emotions, which things are notorious for otherwise filtering/coloring one's perceptions and responses (and are sometimes known to persist even with effort). Methods of Increasing Objectivity towards facilitation of appropriate "personal cartography and navigation" might be Meditation, Yoga, Self-hypnosis, and other "internal arts," counseling, journaling, values contemplation, appropriate use of "occult arts" to increase self awareness in conjunction with some of the above, etc. ====== Related Socio-Spiritual consideration & question: Considering perspective that planetary evolution is at the 3rd chakra level (in a system of 7 chakras), those who have chosen (at soul level) to assist in evolvement of the planet, are being called upon to process thier 3rd-5th chakra issues, thus helping others directly and/or indirectly (through example and/or energetic resonation) to deal more effectively with (managing) their feeling body/empathic awareness -- towards all becoming more conscious as concerns appropriate, safe, "response-ability" and in-chargeness" of their feelings/expressions, of boundaries and defining of values, and in dealing with issues of conscious/unconscious gut feelings, with conscious/unconscious empathy and/or sympathetic resonation with individuals, groups, and the planet, with manipulation of/by self or others, including the imposition of power via comparison, judgemental analysis, invalidation, denegrating competion, and separation. And thus all the above, certainly in the most positive perspective, has led to an increasing awareness of appropriate choices, resources, and paths. Depending on your own knowledge and training in the field of psychology or self-help processes or desire for more of same, you might also consider how this relates to the following aspects: Sub-personalities (as per hypnotherapy perspectives, methodologies) as "attached to" various points of reference, including specific bodies, chakras; with issues/challenges, coping mechanisms, talents, gifts, and roles (my own favorites); with "micro-perceptions" & related beliefs and feelings. ==== Footnote & References: ¹ The paradox inherent in this systemitizing endeavor is that, like time and space, once one determines a reference from one, the other revolves around it instead of stationing itself in a fixed position, hence there is not really ever a time that a clear path can be chosen between the two. Thus the inevitable aspect of intuition that is necessary to navigate through the holographic universe of consciousness. So, one simply chooses a PtORef and once establishing some basics about the Orientation and Navigation, then re-establishes a more appropriate PtORef as necessary. [This concept is reminiscent of the idea "Self-Realization for Computers" (my tongue in cheek title), where the key is to be able to find the "Explorer Window," "File Manager," or"Program Manager," to get an objective perspective of choices and routes to selection, attainment/achievement of priorities, strategies, and goals, etc. ] ² Ken Keyes' book, *Handbook to Higher Consciousness,* revolves much around this particular question, and provides refreshing views and effective techniques in this regard. -2-15-97; 12/20/01 Related Writings by the author: ["...Goal Chart...", "...Lower Chakras...", "...Victims..." (preceding at website 3/'03) "Concept of Healing," "...Beliefs, Wants, & Needs...", "Trends to Detachment," ] ============================================= Intro to "CLEAR PATH CREATORSHIP DECREE" [Revised excerpts (12/20/01) from "The C H A L I C E And Soul Synthesis into the Body-Mind"] It is said that "Love allows." Love, then, indeed is the source of healing as it is the source of Divine Energy Flow. The "Temple Diamond Chalice" (see figure) refers to the heart chakra. This is where body-mind-soul integration bases its action. This is where the ideal becomes real. The mantra for this chakra is "So Hum" or "I Am That I Am." For a practical explanation of how body-mind integration is brought about, please read the essay, A Student Guide to Body-Mind Integration in the Personal Growth Process, by the author. At some point, in regard to the above considerations -- and the aspect of *Objectivity* -- you may want to read The essay, ["...Victims..."]. It may provide for you a more practical review of the personal/spiritual growth process from the hows and whys of initial re-establishment (re-induction) of Karmic patterning during infancy to the patterning's eventual release later in life. To introduce the following affirmation or "decree," I will note that during the intense processes encountered in integrating the emotional body we may need to remind ourselves of the spiritually healthy relationship between the different levels of experience of self. Whereas some New Thought teachings can be easily understood to discount or invalidate "negative" feelings, we need to acknowledge these emotional level realities. However, there is the matter of appropriate context and intention especially as regards what one gives power to, when, and how. Hence, The following decree serves to keep these different realities in context while empowering those that will serve us efficiently in our healing process. It can be especially helpful when we are feeling swamped by a lot of "feeling stuff" as we explore the uncharted depths of our emotional body. &¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø;&¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø;&¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø; CLEAR PATH CREATORSHIP DECREE An Affirmation of Dis-Identification and Acknowledgement From the Center of All I Am² (That I Am/All That Is) I decree through the Highest Loving Will the alignment and integration of my energies in this my (multidimensional) Being. I am the peace and clarity and awareness that allows me to acknowledge that I have a body, but therefore I am not the body, that I have emotions, but therefore I am not the emotions, that I have an intellect with thoughts and beliefs, but therefore I am not the intellect nor its thoughts or beliefs, that I have roles and aspects of personality, but therefore I am not those roles or aspects. I am acknowledging in this clarity therefore that I am not my body-mind (physical, emotional, and mental) Complex, but that I am the Center of Consciousness and from this centered point of awareness I acknowledge my co-creatorship with All That Is. And through this acknowledgement I now choose to disengage the power of all false or otherwise inappropriate beliefs, patterns, and associations that my body-mind complex may entertain, to create into Life/Manifestation. So Be It. I observe from this center of awareness the pains and elations that are perceived by my body-mind complex and from this point of awareness I deal lovingly and justly with these dynamics as a channel of the Highest Loving Will That I Am. This is done without judgment, denial or projection of the various "negative" aspects that I have created in and for the learning process of my Being. I, therefore, acknowledge and gratefully accept all the Good That I Am, here and now made manifest in my Life. I am allowing my environment to reflect -- as I now choose to be a channel of -- the Divine qualities of Awareness, Vision, Love-Wisdom, Power, Creative Joy, and Faith as I align with God's Will for my Divine Plan fulfilled. I am so thankful That I Am so worthy That I Am so blessed to be a channel of such abundance into my Life and into the Lives of others as they so allow. I hereby decree, allow, and gratefully accept this done here and now in accordance with the highest loving will of All That I Am through me. So Be It. ==== Footnote for Above decree: ² "I Am..." (as capitalized) is in itself an invocation of one's Divinity or Divine qualities, an acknowledgement of one's oneness with I Am That I Am/All That Is/All That I Am.

The focus then was on self-help psychology, consciousness, and eastern and western mystical perspectives. This continued through my university studies in Norman, OK '74-'79. 1980 took me into naturopathic studies, primarily nutrition and herbology when I lived in Oklahoma City. Not seeing the naturopathic doctor route as affordable at the time, I found direction via a five-evening massage course, Fall '83. That led to a six month professional practice, followed up with the training in Sante Fe, NM, '84-'85 (detailed in my on-line brochure). Since then I have practiced massage and/or healing facilitation for others, initially in Santa Fe, NM (during/after my training), then San Louis Obispo, CA, and Seattle, WA. This includes exploring personal challenges and self-healing methodology. A session may include various energy-body-work modalities, Body/Energy-Awareness based Preventative Health Maintenance Instruction, or only Reiki or relaxation work in total silence. A client chooses based on whatever stress, pain, or concerns are present at that session. A client may request a "Body Pattern Reading," as well as various massage/bodywork therapies. All of which techniques, related information, as well as a rate schedule for individual, regular and 3-6 week interval-based programs, are listed & described in the Body-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure and the Compact Trifold version via . ««« MY PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS have primarily centered in three areas: »»» 1) Body-Centered Psycho-Spiritual Process (as in "Hakomi" style of) counseling and bodywork , including as assessing an individual for the most efficient means of addressing connective tissue injury, short and long term, and the most efficient application of the results of that assessment (on physical and/or emotional levels); 2) in the basic hows & whys related to the storage & release of tension and "body memory" in the muscles and fascia. and in the related fascia memory storage dynamics - referring to the technical aspects of neuro-physical interface between connective tissue, emotion, and the brain); 3) "Chalice-Bridging" style chakra balancing , including Reiki (energy work) - based in the perspective that the chalice, far more than just a cup in this interpretation, is about the human embodiment of Spirit into the three "lower bodies" (mental, emotional, and physical) which compose the "Body-Mind". Which is also a "cauldron" for the balancing and integrating of Humanity with the Divine - individually and communally. ««« MY TRAINING »»» Over 1370 hours of classes and practicum, including with the New Mexico Academy of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in Santa Fe, NM (1984-85), and with various accredited bodywork and therapy workshops (`86-present), as well as 100 hours training with the Alchemical Hypnotherapy Institute (1989), over 100 hrs apprenticeship with healing practitioner Robert "Mitra" (`85-`86), 150 hours apprenticeship with Silena Heron in Herbal Studies (`83-`84), Training, Certification, & Empowerment as Reiki Master (3rd Degree Johrei, 1991; Kundalini Reiki to 9th Level w/Gtunmo & Devic Template, 2004). For the detailed version my training, you may go to the latter half of theBody-Mind Integration Therapies Brochure . Which also includes (and relates context for) links to essays elaborating on aspects of imbalance and injury, assessment, and healing. _________________________________________ Some Body-Mind Notes or Quotes From Chris BODY-MIND AWARENESS, at the core of preventive health awareness, is one of the most simple, efficacious, & cost-effective forms of HEALTH INSURANCE there can be. Hence, massage is far from just "a luxury item," and bodywork therapies can be indispensable for the healing of certain conditions. MUSCLES RELATE TO ATTACHMENTS - to what we use to take our stance, to hold our place, to perceive and respond to our environment, and to extend who we are and/or want to be. Or used to be (in too many cases, perhaps). That speaks not only to the body's condition and function, but to how it communicates awareness of where one is along one's path (of becoming who one truly is). THE BODY IS . . . among other amazing things, a unique communications system --intimately linked with one's TOTALITY. Establishing rapport with one's body can be a PATH to self realization. ONE OF MY DREAMS is a society where/in all children are taught how to feel/see/read their own body-mind communications such that preventive health maintenance eventually becomes second nature. And actually, for the most part, they would be encouraged to re-awaken and build upon what I believe to be a NATURAL INCLINATION - conscious self-healing and continuous expansion of awareness. And the above goes FOR ALL OTHER ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES, to the degree that one utilizes them to improve such awareness and causative/pro-active connection with one's body-mind, and to employ the most effective tools for maintaining/improving one's health under any given condition or circumstance.
