Resend: The Wk of 10/1/26 Pipes, Balloons, Direction

Seeerikakluthe.com for current offerings. Do not let “lack of finances” deter you from seeking support for your well being. If you are in need and are also experiencing financial destress, text 561-703-9150 & we will figure something out together. 

Several of you have newly signed up for this “newsletter.” I’m not a fan of that word, newsletter, actually. Blech! What is this? What am I sending you when I send these words out? Well, it feels closer to a little Soul Lovenote from my heart to yours. Historically, I’ve rarely found this earth-journey easy. Though over the past couple of decades, a few things have helped me navigate life with just a bit more ease and clarity. Those things: painful experience, teachers in all shapes and forms along the way, and various metaphysically-rooted practices; two examples of which are yoga & 12 step programs (yes, that too has the woo roots).  And what do I mean by woo? Woo to me: Truth. & what do I mean by Truth? An unchanging idea/concept. Time doesn’t change it. Location doesn’t change it. Culture doesn’t change it. It simply is. To us all. Always. An example to me would be: All is One. Meaning that all “things,” both material and non-material are interconnected. Are from & of the same Source. Even though our human eyes and other senses see/sense a differentiation. I see all things as unique (meaning: one, or no copy) extensions of this One, unchanging thing/Original Source/Ultimate Creative Intelligence. Wanna put yogic language on it? See: Purusha or Brahman. So anywhoo, I’ve been given a lot of Love in life and I wanna pay it forward because that feels right in my core. A good thing, to me, is better when shared. That said, I have a dissertation I am about to begin researching & writing, so these physical Lovenotes may slip into your inboxes less often, but not the Love itself. I am consistently available for support. Just text (561) 703-9150 (my highly preferred communication method). Ok, that said:

A few words from me in case any of you angels out there find a word or two useful on whatever curve of this winding life path/heroin’s journey you find yourself. I share the chosen stories/aspects of my life that feel as if they are resonating with the collective. Please insert your own details into my template.

So…

I sat down with a friend on Sunday & spilled my confused lil heart out to him, and he me. I went to “help” this friend as he’s been in a very tight spot, but lo and behold, seeing that “all is one,”  it felt as if he wound up helping me, when I was there to “help him.”  I find, over & over, that that is the case. I told him of my confusion and he said this (& I am pulling this straight from the notes in my phone where I documented what he was saying. Ps, I am getting the same message from several sources, this just happened to be the “final nail,” so to speak). 

Here goes: 

I have to be me. 

What do I want? 

What do I not want? 

What am I doing to support what I want? 

What am I doing to sabotage what I want?

I have hit a spot on my journey where I am uncertain as to where to focus the majority of my energy.  This lack of clarity/direction has felt incredibly disorienting & painful. So I did what I do: I “prayed” (spiritual language)/spoke with the Responsive Universe (language of Quantum Science). Though not always immediate, I always get a response. And what I heard at this moment: “Clear the channel. The clear communication cannot move through if the pipes are clogged.” Another metaphor: cut the sandbags from the hot air balloon so it can ascend. Of course! Duh! It’s funny how easily I forget what I already know, over and over again. Seems pretty human to me though. And what (in part) clogs the divine pipes/keeps the balloon from moving (this is not a comprehensive list):

-Resentment/anger
-Unresolved misunderstandings
-Feelings of: lack, shame, not-good-enough, feelings of “I’m incapable,” Feeling like you need to wear a mask all of the time when in the company of others.
-Anything that recurs in our minds that we just don’t feel at least neutral about. If it bugs us, over and over, it ain’t neutral. It’s asking to be heard/listened to. And then our task is: we gotta follow up on the message.

Said differently (from Ch 16, Section IV of the book: A Course in Miracles/often attributed to the Great Poet Rumi): “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true, but it is necessary to seek for what is false.” If you have been coming to the Tues/Thurs class, think: Michelangelo chipping away all that is not Angel (or David).

(Autumn/Fall, after all, is the season of letting go.)

If you’re familiar with 12 step talk: 4th & 10th Steps (generally speaking). These are the pipe cleaners. If you’re not familiar with 12 steps (and you wanna be), consider ACAD (better known as ACA). It’s for people who come from a history of dysfunction. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t know a single person who has not come from a history of dysfunction. Why? Because we are humans. And it’s part of our earth tool kit. Contrast serves. Dysfunction serves. Serves what? Growth. Freedom. Expansion. Joy…All the reason’s we’re here. 

There are also a kajillion other *mystical and non-mystical therapeutic practices out there (Though in my heart, I know all to be mystical. You don’t have to agree, of course. It wouldn’t be much fun if you did. I can only share what I know to be true for me). I say it in nearly every class and I’ll say it to you here: please do reach out for ideas if you’re needing help finding a practice that feels like a good fit for you. I know lots of wise helpful peeps/programs/practices and it brings me great joy to help you if I can. I recently pointed someone to a talk therapist that they love and I’m so happy I could help make that connection. I also recently pointed someone toward a free “constellation therapy” group and she is finding great support in that. Ok, rant over. Love you. We can do this. & we can do this much more easily with gunk-free plumbing/less sandbags weighing us down.

Im posting some readings from classes below, FYI. 😘

Onward! Inward! 

Ek 

*Mystical means having a spiritual meaning or a connection to a hidden reality that goes beyond ordinary human understanding and the physical senses
