shin is the ancient symbol for fire, more specifically the sacred fire. shin'ar is an ancient way of saying lord of the fire. this sacred fire is the mystery that dances within the form of every creation. it is the building block of existence, and more recently physicists are becoming aware of it and investigating an aspect of it that they are calling dark matter.

i am not studied enough in the details to know exact teachings or to be exactly articulate in the explanation of it, but i do know that it is the material in which everything resides, or so they would assume. wilcock's teaching is also referring to it as he speaks of these discoveries surrounding the grid lines matching the characteristics of bacterial formation.

when our fields of consciousness connect together the great eye, the mandorle, is created and it is there where our experience is shared and information transferred. when i connect i write from the hip in hopes of relating my inner self and not my physical thinking.

the mandorle is the shadow between the worlds. it is the gateway between the experiences. it is sacred because it is the one and only passage via which growth and evolution can continue on. it is the balancing point, not between perfect right and perfect left, or perfect light and perfect dark, but between interaction.

can you understand that? that is what i feel you need to understand.

there is no light or dark, there is only interaction between the two; opposing forces and opposite ends of the poles. and somewhere along the seesaw of existence is that point where the two begin to blend together. the blending point is not one perfect point on the board; it is instead a section where existence becomes neither dark or light. neither evil or good.

can there be a perfect point of balance? no! the only way that such a thing could happen would be for existence to end; to stop moving, to stop being. when the seesaw becomes balanced in such a way that both sides are of equal weight, it stops moving. and without movement there is no force, no energy and no growth. but that movement can always be toward either direction.

our struggle is to lean toward that which is light and that which is good. not to try to reach the extreme far reaches of that, but to create a wavelength of existence that directs us in the positive direction so that the motion is forward into growth instead of backward into its opposite.

it is akin to swimming against the tide or with it. swimming with it when it is incoming will take you to the beach where you can find freedom from the inability to walk on terra firma, or being taken further out into the darkness of the depths where you cannot walk according to your design.

this our natural state of being. not to become an astral being without ever swimming with the tide, but to become our higher being by going through the process of chewing the leaf as the caterpillar before we become the butterfly. to win the game by scoring the goal without having actually played the game leaves behind the experience of the game itself.

the experience is why we are here, and that includes touching both dark and light, matter and spirit, and understanding the difference between the two so that we learn in which direction we should strive to reach the beach.

the circle has no origin, it is infinite, and on its great circumference is all of the aspects of existence. but to attempt to cross it via its diameter is not experiencing the all, and if that path was followed by the source, the one, than the circle would not be the perfect circle, it would be more of a semicircle with a straight side, and imperfect missing half of its reality.

when i close my eyes i do not see total darkness. i see shin. magical hues of creation of greens, blues and violets, with the specter of a bright white light that remains just out of focus but always begging to be trapped. i do not know if everyone sees this and i am aware that there are some groups dedicated to discussing this phenomena, but i am interested only in experiencing it, not trying to scientifically expose it. there is no darkness or light, only the blend of the two.

from the instant that the great serpent spiraled out from the origin, shin began to burn, and what was became what is. a time that is not a time; a place that is not a place. for the goddess to move there had to be an opposing force. consciousness pushed against unconsciousness, unconsciousness pushed back and existence took motion. in that force and energy light became dark, dark became light and nothing became something which was initially nothing; the circle began to be drawn. as it returns to itself we are caught up in the process as its experience of itself; fragments of its consciousness adding to the one consciousness with our own.

shadows of the one in motion with it.

the post was not meant to be a preaching session. i seek the thoughts of others regarding the aspect of balancing the polarities, which is the essence of life as we know it.

I'm working on accepting other people's creation of the darkness they need - other people's demons, so to speak.
Especially people who hurt children upset me a lot.
But in my clairvoyant studies I have seen how people I know in this life who have had rotten childhoods - have done nasty things in previous lives (mostly as soldiers in other lives)... And I need to let them break their bad habits in their own time and timing... (and especially one shining example of the man of a friend of mine, I can see how he has broken his bonds and found his own way towards positive changes for himself)
If I go in and override and try to tell people my version of what is good and just, I just prolong their lessons and misery, as well as creating some bad karma of my own...
Sometimes I find it really hard to keep my mouth shut and not butt in. Other times I regret not butting in... I find that I strugle in finding that kind of balance for myself...

I worte this poem for that.
The Norse myth of "Ginnunagap" is very similar to what is described in the first post here, about the fire. But Ginnungagap was the void between fire and ice. Fire and ice fought, raging back and forth over the void. And in the end they created the universe...


At the frontier of No Words
Innocence and Ignorance dance
They twist and turn
and wear each others masks
I am the Fool, the Zero
My opinion has no influence
on the display
Crescendos and legatos
come and go
My mind reels and tries to grasp
the unfathomable
And then
Light and Dark have created a mosaic
with
no up
no down
no left
no right
no wrong
I pour the waters from one cup
to the other
contemplating
the Ginnungagap of creation
Sighing mutely
one half laughing
one half crying
Answers, please?
But Ice, Fire and Mona Lisa are equally
silent as the Lambs and the Birds that fall
Answers are for gods.
And I am a mere Fool with No Words.

Is meditation the best way to balance the polarities?

Questioner: Is there a “best way” to meditate?
Ra: No.

Ra: True simultaneity is available only when all things are seen to be occurring at once...the nature of true simultaneity is such that, indeed, all is simultaneous. however, in your mode of perception you perhaps would more properly view the seeding of the creation as that of growth from the center or core outward.

In my experience I've come to see that in order to open the heart one must touch it from both sides.
By this I mean the part of the body that is above the heart must reach down to it, as well as the parts below the heart reaching up.

My mind needed the focus as well as my drive, and together they we able to balance and open my heart.

Some people have a gift in the mind and others the body, the challenge is to internally balance with the other and create harmony, this leads to the path of the chosen.
