Energy Report: FEBRUARY
February marks a shift into the strongest period of time
emphasizing the Goal for the year, which is FLOW.
This would mean to us that this month carries with it
the experience of choosing between the directions
of inertia and freedom.
This month may bring with it an acute awareness
of what you CAN control vs what you CANNOT.
Not everything in life can be controlled.
When one tries to control that which cannot be controlled,
one tends to fall into Inertia or Resignation;
giving up. Inertia, Resignation, and Giving Up
can be positions of victimization and intolerance.
They are often the results of anger, blame, and presumption
that certain larger forces are "against" you,
rather than "for" you.
We do not wish to convince you that life is always "for" you,
but it is never "against" you.
Life may not flow in a direction or shape that you would prefer,
but it does not do so to offend you.
It is simply flowing in directions based on momentums,
choices, elemental influences, community forces,
relationship dynamics, and slippage, etc.
In other words, LIFE, even YOUR LIFE,
is Neutral outside of your personal position,
intent, and interpretation.
Recognizing that there are levels you can control
and levels you cannot control will move you from
Inertia, Resignation, and Giving Up into Freedom,
Surrender, and Decision.
When one focuses on the NAVIGATIONAL aspects of a life
while larger forces are at work,
then FLOW can move into Freedom,
the positive pole.
For instance, when there are hurricanes, earthquakes, economic collapses, personal health issues, losses, etc,
it can be overwhelming,
but these forces are not out to get you;
they are simply a part of the many forces in effect
on the Physical Plane and within a lifetime.
You may not be able to stop the hurricane, the earthquake, or control the economic collapse, or immediately reverse the personal health crisis, or losses, but you CAN navigate within those forces.
Many teachers have said this, we have said it,
and we will say it again that it is not what happens to you
that matters
as much as what you do with what happens to you.
When it comes to FLOW and moving into Freedom,
the most powerful tool you have for navigation
within those larger forces is CHOICE.
You may experience limitations on your choice
, but you will not experience an elimination of choice.
You may experience a hurricane,
which may ruin your plans for the day at the beach,
so this may be a limitation, but it is not an elimination.
You still have choice,
however we would specifically define
the more limited end of Choice as being Decision.
Decisions may not be pivotal experiences,
but they are steps.
Decisions are the steps between Choices.
You can decide to seek cover,
to help others, to board your windows,
to not board your windows.
In fact, you could still decide to go to the beach,
if you were strongly inclined to stick to your plans.
However, none of your decisions will change the hurricane
They will change where you are,
how you are, and who you are IN that hurricane.
This is Surrender
: the ability to navigate within larger forces using the power of choice,
or decision.
It is true that Inertia, Resignation, and Giving Up are still choices,
but these states are not navigational;
they are not freeing, surrendering, or decisive.
We differentiate, not to define one as being better than the other,
but to help in clarifying your experiences over February,
and at other times when situations
that seem bigger than your control develops.
February looks to be a month of extremes,
with clear moments brought to light
when you can decide to move within limitations,
or fall under the overwhelm of larger patterns and pressures.
In moments where you may feel pressures or imposition
, it is precisely in those moments that one might find flow,
freedom, and surrender, or collapse, resignation,
and inertia so clearly differentiated.
Points of pressure are points in the life
where Inertia has come into play.
Inertia can often be like trying to run upstream,
and it is also the resistance to change, to movement, to flow.
ALL fragments (or souls) have the potential for Inertia
because the larger the mass, figuratively and literally,
the more Inertia is inherent.
We point this out because when one feels Inertia,
resistance to change, or that life is boring, overwhelming, repetitive, etc.
it is because one has not changed mass,
has not digested and released that which is no longer serving,
has not lightened up, so to speak.
You have not digested your collection of experiences.
Many fragments move through the life carrying the weight of the past
with the distraction of the future,
finding little reconciliation between them,
and these equally-opposing forces
create a pressure that leads to Inertia.
In a Moving Centered year,
these areas of inertia may become painfully or delightfully apparent,
allowing for opportunities of release into freedom.
Friction is a part of life.
It is another word for Experience.
Flow could be said to be another word for Digestion, or Comprehension, which is the full process of intake, assimilation, and release.
It is the adaptation to Friction. Life is Friction and the process between Inertia and Freedom, intake and release.
As the Moving Centered year comes into more obvious effect,
mixed with the Goal of Flow,
then stops and starts, friction and slippage can become more extreme.
One way to help in navigation,
along with the differentiation between Freedom and Inertia,
Surrender and Resignation,
intake and release, could be the differentiation
between Productivity and Frustration,
which are the positive and negative poles
of the Moving Center, respectively.
Productivity describes when one is achieving
the intended results of effort,
while Frustration is rejection of the achievement of results
not intended.
One is not better than the other,
and when one can use opportunities of frustration to reassess results,
it can often be found that the results,
while unintended, could be beneficial,
moving one from Frustration into Productivity again.
The negative poles of our Overleaves System
are not meant to describe a spectrum from "bad to good,"
but to describe a spectrum between limitation,
restriction, closure and limitlessness, freedom, and openness.
Both poles are NECESSARY for life to be experienced,
but the difference between the poles is most-marked
by the reality that the positive pole will include the negative pole,
whereas the negative pole will exclude the positive pole.
We mention this because,
while life is experience is friction,
it does not have to be Abrasive.
Abrasion is when one tends to remain at the negative pole of a spectrum. Friction is the stuff of life, but when one does not allow for the slippage, starts, freedom, productivity, or positive poles in general,
then one falls into a life of Abrasion.
So while Inertia and Frustration are parts of life,
to remain there is Abrasive.
You will wear yourself down.
You will become pained, disintegrated, broken down, heated, melted, or fragmented after a while.
February brings with it the awareness that life can have extremes,
is full of friction and opposing forces,
but it does not have to be abrasive.
It does not have to wear you down.
Your consciousness is the lubrication to keep the effects of friction, frustration, and inertia from being abrasive.
In those moments of consciousness
when you have the choice to turn on a dime,
so to speak, and even slightly focus in a direction
toward the positive poles,
you will not lose the experience of the negative poles,
but you will have moved into the more inclusive part of the spectrum.
A KEY PHRASE that may help over February:
WHAT WILL I MAKE OF THIS?
In any situation that is not to your liking,
it can be helpful to ask yourself clearly and consciously,
"what will I make of this?"
When left to an unconscious processing,
these experiences of frustration and inertia can lean toward abrasion, wearing you down and overwhelming you.
To consciously check in with how and what you will do next,
however exhausting and annoying it may seem in the moment,
is to keep your path smooth and navigable.
It is the lubrication for your journey.
It is the spark of consciousness needed
to keep Friction from being Abrasion.
You do not have to have a full answer,
or even a clear answer to the question,
just the clear questioning.
With as much honesty and kindness
you can pull from the moment,
ask "What Will I Make Of This?"
This keeps you out of intolerance and victimization,
allowing for your opportunity to Flow.
