Hello Everyone.
“As many of us have discovered, moments of spiritual depth and insight strike us like lightning bolts on a dark night. They illuminate a profound horizon of potential in front of us, as well as what we must do to live up to what we’ve seen. Depth of this kind is essential for spiritual progress. But it is not enough. We also need to walk the path we find, with consistency.”

I found this quote today in a email sent to me from EnlightenmentNext magazine. I thought it was a good topic for my newsletter. I have always taught students to stay away from what I called ‘psychic whizz bangery’. It is so easy to get caught up with the pursuit of phenomena and mistake it for true personal evolution. I have seen many people have abilities to see auras, channel, do psychcometry, astral travel and  so on and on. But it does not necessarily equate to their ability to evolve, manage their psychological and emotional lives, grow their understanding of the way the Universe works, and move towards their potential. So called ‘psychic’ skills are no different to any other skill. We can be a magnificent artist, and lousy at personal relationships. We can easily experience non-ordinary states but be unable to control our anger.

Psychic skills are just part of the overall creative possibilities of the human species. What is more important is taking the experiences we have in life and understanding the messages that we are being sent that is behind them all. We are part of the greatest learning experience ever conducted, and its happening in all our lives all the time. We don’t have to look for psychic ‘buzzes’. That is no different from alcoholic  or any other type of adrenalin stimulation. It’s always fantastic when we have an experience that shows us that there is ‘more’. Once we get that, our job is to take that knowledge and apply it to our lives so that we grow to a new level of understanding. That’s called ‘grounding it’. If information isn’t grounded into our understanding of life it is merely window dressing. In my practice, I always create sacred space, for my client and I to work in, at the beginning of each session. That takes it out of the mundane and focuses us on the greater possibilities. At the end, I open that space to allow the experiences we had within it to be free to flow out into our everyday lives. If we don’t take that knowledge and apply it to our current reality, there’s not much point in doing any of it. What happens in our heads, stays in our heads unless our body actions it and our feelings experience it in the context of life.

And isn’t that the hard bit? We need to ” walk the path we find, with consistency”. We need to ‘make it so’: weaving it into the fabric of our work, friendships, domestic lives etc. When we do, we find the whole picture shifts a bit. Our perspective of what we are seeing and experiencing becomes a little wider. Our capacity for understanding becomes greater. It doesn’t matter how long this process takes. After all we have Eternity. It does matter ‘that’ we do it. It’s easy to panic at the moment, as we transit through the enormous changes that the Earth and Solar system are going through . We get into a goal oriented mindspace that makes us believe we have got to achieve perfection in the next 10 minutes or it will be too late. Movies like 2012, albeit that some of what they base it on is accurate to a degree, doesn’t help either. Ends are transitions into beginnings. Looking at a section of a circle, it appears that there is a finite place that it starts and completes, but widen our vision to take in the fact that it is a section of a much larger event and we see that there is, in truth, no beginning or end. That’s called living in a paradox. Just because we cant see the whole doesnt mean there isn’t one.

We must seek the greater vision, the higher perspective, and we MUST, bring it down to Earth and make it part of breakfast . That’s how you live in a paradox. This part of the way we live our lives is coming to an end but its only part of the eternal cycle. Nothing to worry about. But plenty to learn from and change our lives with. Childhood came to an end but we recovered. And yet, the child lives on in us still. The acorn is always part of the oak tree. So, honour your growth by making it part of your lives no matter what a challenge that might be. Seek the larger view of whats happening for yourself and for our species, and to quote the runes, ‘look for signs of Spring”.

I am available for personal session work in self growth, personal development, problem solving, shamanic journeying, ancestor work, Psychosynthesis, energy balancing and Munay-ki initiations.  My books ‘The Way Through- A Guide to Psychosynthesis in Everyday Life’, and “Reweaving The Web- A Shamanic Journey of Connection” can be purchased from me directly, from UBS bookstore, or from my website: www.spiritflight.co.nz

Go well. Blessings Sparrowhawk (Jay Ray)

It feels like life and growth are accelerating at an enormous pace recently. As the petrol prices saw, and the governments of the world argue about what to do next, it feels to me that we sit on the edge of collective spiritual enlightenment. Its so exciting sometimes its hard to contain myself. What will the new world look like? It certainly will be very different to the one we have grown to know. How can it not? It will be *clean* for a start, with no oil pumping out emissions all over us. While there are still the stories of doom and gloom, the light is shining through more and more.

I have been struggling over the last while to get  inspiration to do the audio CD that was to go with my book, “Reweaving the Web- A Shamanic Journey of Connection”. Try as I may it was not coming but the book kept telling me it wanted to be released straight away.  Determined to have them coupled up, I struggled on until two weeks ago. The thought hit me that it was not right to wait for the CD to emerge if it ever would, and that the book needed to be set free. So I busily redid it, rewriting parts of it, placing exercises in text rather than referencing them to the erstwhile CD.  And LO and Behold, its nearly ready to release. Everything always falls into place rapidly when the right decision is made. The book is ecstatic and can’t wait for a life of its own. I shall miss it, but like all parents, we never really lose our children but must let them go and have a life of their own. And so, if any of you who have not already pre-ordered it would like to do so, there is a small window of opportunity of a few weeks before it is launched. If you would like to take advantage of this offer and receive 15% discount off the retail price, email me and I will put you on the list. You will be the first to get your copies. If you were looking forward to the CD as well, the good news is that the book will be less expensive without it and the other good news is that I will probably  still record it sometime in the future and you will be the first to be notified. You are all invited to the launch if you are in Dunedin at the time. If not I will be launching in your city sometime soon. I’ll keep you informed.

More exciting news is that the final stages of my Munay Ki initiations are taking place at the end of August. I’m all booked in and ready to go. They have really fast-tracked growth inside of me and I hope to be able to make them available to you all early next year (if you are living in New Zealand. If not contact Billie Dean www.billiedean.com.au for her 2009 schedule). With 2012 approaching like a freight train, the knowledge that these rites are preparing my luminous energy field for the times to come is exciting and comforting. But there is much work to do, taking the seeds that are implanted in my aura and growing them. I can ‘feel’ them doing just that and others have notices my accelerated growth also. I have always passed on what I have learned and discovered, and I look forward to sharing this path with you. For those of you that did the Psychosynthesis training with me, the philosophy behind them are really compatible. Though the shamanic wording may be different for the Inca, the principles are the same…and we still have to do the work to lift our energy field towards the potential embodied in our Higher Self. However, the rites facilitate that growth so that the effort we put in brings the results to us quicker.Of course, the responsibility to walk our path is greater also. It goes with the territory. But its time for those of us that are willing to step forward and take on the mantle that has been prepared for us and lead the world into the new. Munay Ki is the energy of love, and thats what will change all of us. Once we have discovered and worked with the traumas of our past, once we have made new more appropriate choices in our life now, love is what will heal the wounds. Love is the way of the future for all of us. It cannot be otherwise. Blessings to you. Sparrowhawk (Jay Ray)
