Attunement in South Africa

Patience relates to the physical nature of your outer self.

In Patience is a resignation to the Will of the Wonderful One within.

In Patience is a perfect unconcern in regard to that which may take place in the outer world.

In Patience is the steadfast attitude toward the unreal, “IT MATTERS NOT TO ME.”

Thus, it is that you are free from all attachments of the outer world and being free, perfect Patience is maintained in Tranquility. Let Love Radiate without concern for results.

The physical nature of your outer self, and of all material things, is the result of Absolute Reality, and it is only through the inherent Reality that is in them that they exist. To deny the physical and the material is to deny the Reality also. All material things are Perfect. Your physical body is Real and beautiful beyond words to describe. It is Wonderful beyond all the imaginings of mankind. In it are revealed the secret things of God. Through it work the Cosmic Forces of the Universe. Evil results from material things, including your physical body, only when the Cosmic Laws of Being are ignored.

When you can rejoice in the physical and behold beauty in all material things, remaining unconcerned about the apparent misapplications in the world around you, desiring nothing, but enjoying all things, then you live in the Source of all that is, even the Positive Center of God Being within yourself. Then you know true Patience. For you there can be no cause of irritation, for you dwell in the Eternity of this present instant; there can be no suffering, for you count all things joy in the privilege of Service. You can make no sacrifice, for you hold to nothing, are attached to nothing, but dwell constantly in all things. Then it is that you enter into the Patience of the Lord, and you become a doorkeeper in the Temple of God, which is the Temple of Light.

In this is the privilege of abiding always in constant Service, being ever ready to open the Door, that the Master within may Serve mankind in every thought that vibrates through your physical body, in every word that flows from your lips, and in every act that comes into manifestation through your body. This is the Service of the Lord, which you render as a doorkeeper in His Temple. His Temple is the Temple of Light, even the Body of light which surrounds Him at all times. If you despise your body or that of another, you despise the Temple of the Lord for “know ye not that your body is the Temple of God”. In Patience there is no condemnation. In Patience is Radiant Love.

On the day when

The weight deadens

On your shoulders

And you stumble,

May the clay dance to balance you.

And when your eyes

Freeze behind

The grey window

And the ghost of loss

Gets in to you,

May a flock of colours --

Indigo, red green

And azure blue --

Come to awaken in you

A meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays

In the curach of thought

And the stain of the ocean

Blackens beneath you,

May there come across the waters

A path of yellow moonlight

To bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,

May the clarity of light be yours,

May the protection of the ancestors be yours.

And so may a slow

Wind work these words

Of love around you --

An invisible cloak

To mind your life.

GROUP WISDOM

We read the poem BEANNACHT (Gaelic for blessing) by John O’Donohue as an opening inspirational piece (see next blog). This poem was read on a recent European Attunement with Life teleconference.

Check-in: A common theme arising from our check-in was the intensity and “roller-coaster” experience of life these days, with:

* work pressures, deadlines etc.

* family demands and needs

* health issues - personal as well as close friends and family

* various 'curve balls' that get thrown - unanticipated obstacles and challenges (eg Sheryl's move to Cape Town being thwarted at the last moment - all her belongings have moved but she has had to remain to sort out their house)

The solutions:

* Stay in the present moment! This is the only place we can stay balanced ourselves and bring true stewardship into the picture rather than overwhelm. This also applies to being distracted by anticipation of future happy events.

* Being deliberate about self care. Taking time out for silence, meditation, self-attunement. We have our Thursday morning radiation time to share attunement and enfoldment with one another.

Other themes that were mentioned:

* The "virtual" world that has been created by technology, especially among young people with cell phones, texting, mixit etc. How to reach them?

* Racial issues. An experience of being invited to a wedding of black friends in the township, their initial hesitancy about going, but then making the effort and having a wonderful, uplifting experience was related. This led to a discussion on our awareness of and ability/willingness to cross thresholds in consciousness relative to deep-seated racial barriers – whether personal or in the collective field of consciousness.

* Maryse Barak: the inspirational example she and her family are providing in their handling of her journey with cancer. Regular updates are posted on their blog: beingmaryse@blogspot.com

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Next Attunement Circle will be on Sunday 25 October - same place, same starting time but different ending time - but we will have a potluck lunch together and continue on into the afternoon. Joel will invite Steve Tsakouris, a sound healer, to share with us what it he does. All are welcome to attend, including friends and family. More information on this will be following shortly.

Seven Steps Journey. Louise is working on a study course based on the Seven Steps to the Temple of Light, and the group agreed to participate and assist with co-creating it. We will do two weeks on each step, starting with Patience. All feedback is most welcome!

Paula, Tricia, Marguerite and Kay standing behind Louise Broomberg at the end of the Attunement Class held at High View Gardens.

This class revisited the core principles of Divine Identity, 7 steps, The One Law, Pneumaplasm and the Creative Cycle in addition to practical attunements, working with the 7 Spirits and the Endocrine Glands and some new techniques such as Organ Attunements. In addition we explored various techniques for enhancing perception and deepening spiritual expression.

A core theme throughout the weekend was clarity around personal purpose, how to communicate to others the magic of attunement, and how to manage and deal with the demands we feel when those in our immediate world are suffering physically, mentally or emotionally. These themes inspired our understanding of the core principles so that we reached new levels of comprehension and relevance.

As the class all stayed over at High View Gardens, there was a beautiful and continuous flow of connection throughout the whole weekend with everyone leaving on Sunday afternoon having made received some profound AhHa’s from our time together.

The next module for this class is planned for 14th & 15th November 2009.

We had another excellent Attunement Circle on Sunday. A fuller report is on its way, but for now I wanted to let you know of a resolution that was made amongst us regarding a collective radiation time. While we all do our own form of radiation/sanctification/ blessing, there is always great value and potency in joining in a collective time. A wonderful, juicy conversation was had around this, and the end result was deciding on Thursday mornings at 6.30am for 20 minutes as our radiation time. There are so many people and situations in need of our loving enfoldment, and we each have our own connections to those. And we ourselves are in need of care and loving enfoldment, so we felt that during this session we would bring each one in the circle to consciousness and share attunement with them. In so doing the blessing is extended on out.

Please do join in on Thursday mornings, 6.30 and let's increase the effectiveness of our service together.

Love,

Louise
