Inner Tapestry

Are we there yet? It depends on what is "we" and "there".  I think of we as applying to life; all life. I think of there as being ready to go on a journey. For our time it will be an unprecedented journey. From our human perspective living conditions that used to work no longer do. For example, recent college graduates can no longer find work. What may have been seen as career paths no longer exist. What may have been seen as financial security no longer works.

Even in nature there are strange events occurring now, such as thousands of birds "commuting" between seasonal homes by following compass directions, such as flying north, fell to the ground dead and soon after that thousands of fish showed up dead in a harbor. Even so called experts had no believable explanations. To anyone familiar with magnetic pole shifts, such as north becoming south and south becoming north such events would be expected.

 
Ahhh Life - What is it? Feeling it, Reconnecting to it!

It's such a wonderful theme, Super Consciousness - I could write volumes on the topic but with my time constraints and my reality constraints, I will share with you but a few key quotes from great philosophers.  Hmm! Constraints?  I wonder what those are?

I'm reminded of the work of Jane Roberts who channeled the Seth Materials in the 60s and 70s- and was one of the first who brought us the notion that we create our own reality and what the "Oversoul" might be.   I'm sure many of you were influenced as was I by the breakthroughs in thoughts and possibilities the Seth Materials gave us.

 
How You Can "Just Move On" in The Face of Great Loss or Crisis

How can "You just move on" in the face of great loss or crisis?

Skye Hirst, Ph.D for Inner Tapestry 

(Norm is doing much better now, by the way, with the help of  acupuncture, Jin Shin Jyutsu, homeopathy and Norm's indomitable living spirit.)

Norm was in hospital and we were tired from a night of struggling with health issues when in the door walked the most beautiful woman with the most radiant smile she grabbed my attention and curiosity.  We didn't exchange words at that time as she had a job to do, to clean the room.  Dressed in Muslim attire that framed her face she worked peacefully, quietly but every now and then she would look up at me and that beaming smile would greet me.  She came several times over the next few days and we began to talk.  I learned that she was from Rawanda and had come to the US 15 years ago about the same time of the genocide there.  I asked her if she had lost family then.  She said, "Yes, everyone." She now has a family, two children of her own.  "How," I asked, "can you smile with such radiance?  Did you have help dealing with the losses?"  "No," she said, "You just move on." 

 
Inner Landscape, Integrity and Wow what a Reality?
Friday, 09 July 2010

Skye Hirst, PhD~ July  2010   Inner Tapestry

There's a realm of wonder, mystery, energy, infinites of infinite creative possibilities. It's a inner landscape where value processes are constantly forming and mixing, changing as we navigate our uniquely creative way through life.  We each are unique and within each of us is an inner landscape, an inner tapestry formed of our identity, our experience and our particular value lens that combines to give us what I call our value intelligence, our VIQ.  It guides us as we act, find effective actions for ourselves in different contexts as we live and find our way. 

 
Living without definition - A work in process
Monday, 01 February 2010

Skye Hirst, Ph.D. ~ For Inner Tapestry   February, 2010

It seems we have choices but if we get ahead of ourselves with what we think is to happen, life simply tolerates us as we get it out of our system so we can get on with what she has in mind for us.   SH

I'm struck at so many levels the meaning of this theme, living without definition. As of late, I'm feeling life, feeling the essence of the Living Reality we are opening to; the chaos, the shifts, the death, creativity, forming and decaying.  I'm sensing something awakening.  There's so much creativity, projects, efforts to help the shift.  Each variation is an attempt to explain what is becoming, and how to make our lives and world better, less violent and to call out peace. Then peace is questioned. Does it exist or is it a mere illusion we cling to? 

In the words of process philosopher, Alfred North Whitehead, I hear the voices of the many becoming one.

 
Beyond The Thing-World Is Living Reality and Meaning

Skye Hirst, PhD – Autognomics Institute –Changing the Conversation of What is Life?
For Inner Tapestry

It is common today for us to hear the question, where is the meaning to life?  To experience meaning our living natures require a connection to more than the day-to-day realities of the physical world, a narrow focus on the bottom line, fragmented, isolated facts/statistics/details etc.  It requires an embracement, an embodied experiencing of our living reality as it relates to something more spiritual in nature.
 
A New Consciousness of Life as Organism: A Living Vision
Thursday, 10 September 2009
Changing the worldview and conversation of what is life?

As Norm and I focus on how the Consciousness is shifting daily, we recognize the need for having Conversations That Matter that can help in understanding the changing worldview of what is life – a living vision of ourselves as living organisms, functioning with awareness of epi-organizing laws, connected to other living organisms, all made from the same bio-energy matrix of life-itself.  It seems particularly relevant to the conversations about health and health care that are so loud with politicized rhetoric, and which leave out what really matters...health, aliveness.
 
Movement of Life: Living Organisms Evolve
Thursday, 10 September 2009
We think of movement as meaning change. There are many kinds of change: physical, spiritual, intellectual and social. There are movements in the sense of organizations trying to cause change. Today it seems change is pervasive. Everything is changing.  Even common sense beliefs are being abandoned. For example, can a living entity (you and me, cells, molecules etc.) burn water? Well, of course it has been thought not to be possible. But it is now known that they can and do; so routinely that they don’t even know it. Just about every day I see another long held belief come into question.  Confusion reigns!
 
Coming Home to Our Living-ness Might Feel Good About Now & It's Only A Leap, a Shift of Focus
Tuesday, 28 April 2009
The times, they are a changing. Windows of possibilities are opening in how we live, work and die.  We see a kind of fork in the roads being traveled today as we make this paradigm shift.  Machine ways that have dominated for so long are losing their appeal as we learn how they have subjugated living energy to ideas of control, separation, isolation and fear.  Many are sensing that the machine-ways have had control long enough.
 
Our Bodies Are NOT Machines; They Know How to Heal

It is February 24. The publication deadline for this article is February 25.  This is my first day back at my computer after being ill and in and out of hospitals for the past 8 weeks.  I cannot begin to write all that I would like to write.
