Soaring to New Heights ~ Cultivating Eagle Consciousness

It is evident that our feelings are shaped not by external events but by our perception of reality. If we are not mindful, we may quickly label our experiences as good or bad. An ancient Taoist story illustrates this concept: "It could be good, it could be bad." This story, which I have included at the end of the newsletter, highlights the importance of suspending judgment and adopting a broader perspective that embraces uncertainty, steering clear of unwanted timelines. 

According to the Hermetic principle of vibration, elevating our frequency enables us to rise above lower frequencies. I refer to this elevated state as eagle consciousness. Just as an eagle effortlessly catches the higher currents of the wind, we too can soar above the distractions and dramas around us. When we embody eagle consciousness, we remain focused on a higher vision and avoid getting entangled with conditions and circumstances, much like eagles who acknowledge the presence of pesky crows but keep their gaze upward.

Activating eagle consciousness empowers us to vision and heal. By maintaining a higher perspective in every situation, we shape our reality through our focus.

Moreover, according to the Hermetic principle of rhythm, everything experiences change, and the pendulum of life swings back and forth. While we understand that what rises must eventually fall, we can choose to remain at the peak of the pendulum's swing. Even amidst the oscillations, we can experience a sense of stability when we apply the principle of higher over lower.When we are in eagle consciousness, we transcend the significant fluctuations of life.

In my conversations with hundreds of people, I often find that many do not aspire to dream big and instead become mired in the "how-to" of life. Frequently, they focus on fixing themselves, others, or their surroundings, but this cycle is endless. Without a higher vision and a solid creative framework to anchor our dreams amidst the shifting circumstances, we tend to fall back into our default patterns.

Are you in touch with your grand visions? Do you find yourself setting them aside? Reflect on what you love and whether you are dedicating time to it. This introspection is a meaningful starting point.

Could be Good. Could be Bad ~ Ancient Taoist Story

There once lived a poor farmer, who lived in a poor village, but this farmer was considered very rich and fortunate because he owned a horse.

One day, his horse ran away. His neighbors came to his farm to say they were sorry for his misfortune. But the farmer said, “I don’t know, it could be bad, it could be good.”

Several days later, the horse returned, with six strong horses. Once again, the neighbors came by this time to congratulate him, but the farmer said, “I don’t know, it could be good, it could be bad.”

Sometime later, the farmer’s son went riding on one of the wild horses. But he fell off and broke his leg and arm. The neighbors came by to console the farmer. But the farmer said, “I don’t know, it could be bad, it could be good.”

A year later, a fierce war broke out between the farmer’s country and the neighboring country. Many young men were drafted into the army. When the army came to draft the farmer’s son, they found that he was disabled, thus exempting him from military service.
