Deal With It Like A Yogi

I hesitate even to put this particular process of realization into the solidification of words and descriptions. I have thought it perhaps a better means of communication to do as poets before me have done when describing the in between the lines of a deep connection. I will however, like the experience, allow for the flow to occur.

Organization

I recently gave a talk entitled “The Power of One Organizational Force.” In creating this talk I put the content into my internal environment and waited for a wellspring of creativity to output a talk, a string of realizations. Perhaps the largest realization was when I found myself grasping the deeper meaning of the organizational phase of evolution.

If looking at evolution for an understanding of the universal laws and principles then it has been seen that the principle of organization began to take root when the electronic phase began to organize itself into forms of recognizable matter, namely, as minerals. This was a process of crystallization. However, the product is always a representation of a deeper process, the reflection of a skeleton or frame or mysterious plan.

The process of organization also did not end with this stage of evolution, in fact, it can be argued that it did not start there either, but rather, was the capacity for this to occur itself, and the capacity has been increasing in complexity since the beginning.

Traditionally we have looked at using the underlying knowledge of organization in our lives as the creation of a plan. What I began to realize however was that there is a deeper level of relation and opening to this force which is the force of organization, or, of creation itself. That is, to align oneself so deeply and intently with this force that the beginning product (an idea) and the end product (an experience, thing, etc.) that the process literally flows through us, through our life, as a permutation of organization into our living breathing environment.

This can be compared to the alignment of meditation upon the experience of the eternal inner nature, or upon the creation of an image such as a business, harmony in relationships, health, etc. The alignment becomes so strong, such an inner commitment occurs, that the image moves from the realm of idea to the realm of the corporeal.

There is a wonderful group exercise in a program that I have been able to take part in where they illustrate beautifully that the creation of an image or idea rests 100% upon the intention. Why is this? Because if we examine the methods and means by which things come into fruition, we can truly understand that there are infinite “hows” in the creation of something. The conviction is the important thing. I am reading a book right now called “Sure Ways to Self-Realization” that includes literally hundreds of meditation methods. The methods are a means to bring about a sense of inner union with the infinite presence, but they are merely a reflection of a dedication that humanity has shown for thousands of years to realize the intention of a deep connection.

Knowing that the deepest approach to organization is 100% connection to the intention then one can allow this force to literally come through to create the necessary means of organization in the internal and external environment. When I began to meditate upon this realization I was amazed to see how suddenly I had the impetus to completely clear out and organize my office space for a higher level of functioning.

I essentially created a natural relationship that allowed a type of “Feng Shui” to naturally flow through. We do not have to become experts in systems in order to create an outcome. This is a possibility, but it is not the digestion and assimilation of limitless systems of knowledge that we must have, it is the earnest and sincere focus on the ultimate aspiration or image. Then perhaps a system will appear to shed light upon the path. It must always be remembered however that the appearance of the system is simply one avenue that the organizational, or creative force itself has aligned with us. It is not THE way. It is A way.

Polarity

Prior to leaving for the recent seminar where I presented the ideas that I have just mentioned on organization I had become waylaid with polarities. I know, it is humorous to think that this suddenly occurred, as polarities make up the basis for our “third dimensional” experience. Meaning, the level of experience where everything occurs in polar opposite to something else (light/dark, love/hate, anger/patience, left/right). They had shown up however in larger lights.

There was the FISA bill vote at the Senate, there was the matter of a midwife in our town who has created a very questionable track record in a short two year span, and there was a matter of chiropractors in Brazil being “brought in for questioning” to a police station for practicing chiropractic (something the Brazilians now claim is practicing physical therapy without a license). I was becoming riddled with questions on how I might approach addressing all or some of these polarities, yet from a neutral view.

I was distressed by the midwife because I have a particular affinity to wanting to be sure that we have the ability to give birth safely at home if we want to. Someone who for whatever reason is creating a track record involving a high level of infant mortality in home births definitely puts a threat to that, at a time when the AMA has recently put out a new agenda to effectively make birthing at home illegal. Not only does this woman have a bad track record, but she also happens to be someone for whom I went to care and had a very negative experience, which had led me to inquire as to her actual training, track record, and abilities.

I have now been asked to make a testimonial about my experience in order to help the local midwives during a “peer review”. This all makes sense doesn’t it? I give them my assistance in order to bring about a change. Upon deep reflection however I came to the realization that this particular action does not feel aligned to my duty. It would feel aligned to arousing within me an agenda that is a step outside of my own agenda. In other words, it feels like something I need to “stay out of”. I need to trust in the process, in the intelligent organizing universe to handle the situation.

At the recent convention where I listened to speakers from all over the United States & Canada, someone made mention of a story of how Dr. Fleet handled a situation at the Concept Therapy Institute. There was a certain kind of dissension amongst members of the Institute staff with regards to another member who was causing some unpleasant and questionable circumstances to occur. Finally he called the meeting to an end by saying that they needed to give it a few days, and to see if, in a few days time, this person would still be in residence at the Institute. There was a higher practice of alignment going on here, namely, a very deep trust in the actual organizational force of the universe itself to handle the situation in perfection with a much larger image that was held by the group itself for the creation of peace.

With this kind of surrender it is incredible to witness the kinds of “miracles” that can occur.

Climbing out of the Polarity Cycle

I thought that I was using my knowledge of the application of Universal Principles correctly when I created an intention to come to grips with this whole dance with the polarities. I brought them to louder light, focusing on seeing them in action. They climbed in with perfect resonance to my intention.

Questions about the government policies, the issue of midwifery, and the legality and scope of chiropractic internationally placed themselves square to my vision and experience. I even felt myself embodying this polarity experience when at the recent convention the question was arising deeply as to “how should Concept Therapy be taught.” There were supporters on the sides, and, inadvertently I had stepped in “on a side” by simply expressing my inner nature at this present time.

Throughout the weekend there were those who came to congratulate me on my new style, there were those who came to plead with me as to why it should be done the old way. There were persons from both “sides” quoting Dr. Fleet himself as he had taught them on both sides of the polarity of the question itself!

I had to have a small internal smile at imagining him deep in this game of giving dual suggestions to “opposing sides” so that they might play out and experience the depth of his teaching on how to live inside of the polarities themselves. We had speaker after speaking imbibing their talks with a thin rivulet of intention upon this polar discourse. Who could speak the truth?

Vulnerability in Motion

My answer came immediately following a chiropractic adjustment when the chiropractor suggested to me that I could let my walls down and become vulnerable. Just hours prior I had felt “attacked” by someone’s intentions upon this question of polarity in teaching and I asked him “how?!”. “I have people coming at me from all angles, how do I allow myself to become vulnerable when I am so obviously in the realm of attacks?”

This third dimensional, I am separate from everyone else and must defend my inner environment question came pouring out of me. I was actually incredibly thankful to have this person’s ear and support for a moment in time amidst this polarity soup that I was experiencing. I had been focusing intently on experiencing oneness and neutrality amidst this entire debate. That is where I had been getting it confused.

I was still seeing separation. I saw debates, sides, angles to win. “Us or Them”. “WE have THE answer.” “Be a part of OUR movement.” There was such confusion. Left and right people were encouraging me to continue with “the movement”, a term that I had not heard prior. To me there was only ONE movement, and that was the eternal and unstoppable moving wave of the creative force of evolution itself. I thought that we were either using our methods and means to paddle for the wave or it was moving past us, completely and totally neutral to who we were. I thought, wow, we have these amazing tools that we can use to paddle for the wave, what a gift, let’s paddle for it and ride it in alongside the millions and multitudes on this game of life and creation that is WAY bigger than any small speckle of us!!

Knowing that I have a tendency to intellectualize experience I was hesitant to ask more questions and thereby create more mental masturbation over the topic of vulnerability, rather than just to let down the guard and experience it. I needed some clarification though, as I had always pictured this thing vulnerability as the expectation that I should emotionally tear at the drop of a hat or allow for all and any forms of criticism to come my way.

Vulnerability as Surrender

I do not know his answer verbatim, but it allowed me to feel suddenly what he meant. We are all one. There is no separation. Be vulnerable to the experience of oneness. He instructed me instead to feel the sensations as they arose, the sensations of fear, or pain, or upset. Essentially, the pain of separation. He encouraged me to see the observer behind these experiences and to let them be, exist, and diminish.

Do not try to shine up the mirror he encouraged, but rather, recognize it as a mirror and orient yourself to the experience behind the mirror, of the eternal oneness.

Suddenly I could feel vulnerability as this softening, porous place where there is nothing to defend, there is only experience. My meditation on polarity ended and my meditation on vulnerability began. He said, “ask the spirit to provide you with experiences to feel vulnerable” as a means to become comfortable within it.

The Perfection of My Life

With this new orientation in my being I approached the final party of the convention where everyone was ready to dance on the patio amidst the cooling warm Texas air as the sun began its daily rhythmic descent. I was amazed to see how the polarity itself began to dissolve. Everyone was in union. Yet, only one simple thing had really changed. My orientation to it. Perhaps the chiropractor was right, perhaps the entire outer dance was just an illusion of an inner dance.

A wave of emotion came over me as with immense gratitude I realized the perfection of the playground of my life. Every day and in every way I was being presented with the possibility of vulnerability practice. The clients at the studio who came for chiropractic assistance, the students in the classes that I taught, even the ride on the airplane home was an experience I could choose to sit with, in the perfect moment, to experience divine vulnerability.

As the rhythm of my life has begun to give me the sensation of greater and greater levels of responsibility, I now realize it has given me the gift of greater and greater levels of vulnerability, porousness, and surrender. Each moment is an opportunity to allow for the experience of spirit itself expressing through me. There is an ease.
