0318 2013 Review (ORIGINS)/2014 Preview (TRUE NURTURE)

Posted on March 18, 2014

Hello, folks!

I'm jumping on the Review/Preview bandwagon. The Review definitely resonates, especially the part about the "subtle ways" that I came back to myself in 2013.

For 2014, we'll just have to wait and see. It's almost April, and I hope that there will be allot of agreements activating that will bring much affection, intimacy and resonance, as I still have yet to form a group of friends here in San Francisco and have been feeling a bit bereft in that department. It was also interesting (but not surprising) that the Michaels mentioned at the end of the Preview that even if my primary focus was on goals, work, career (which it is), the intimacy, resonance, affection and real world application of Agape would still be woven through the center. The Michaels are so clever! During the session, I was wondering about this because my focus is very much on my new business, and I thought it odd that they didn't mention anything about that. Then, they slip that part in at the end!

Enjoy!

[MEntity]: Hello to you, Nicholas. We are here, now. We will begin delivery of a Review and then Preview.

[Nick]: thx!

[MEntity]:

First, a quick review of 2013:

In retrospect, the themes of 2013 look like they could be described with the term ORIGINS.

2013 looks to have been all about a return to a center within, to an original core of intention, innocence, stripped of ideals that had been built over time, and built through relationships, bringing you full circle, back to you.

To "what matters."

This seems to have been true in both subtle and obvious ways, but it is in the subtle ways that there may be some attention to what that means for you. By "subtle ways" we mean those moments that may be fleeting, or those shifts that may seem obligatory, regarding surrender, acceptance, and trust over higher aims, accomplishment, or sticking to a plan.

In Relationships, the sub pattern here appears to have gone through the range between resignation to surrender, returning to both a base craving and to an acceptance of internal integrity that is not dependent upon others.

This was supported by the sub patterns of Perspective that seem to have undulated between disappointments and empathy. There is an irony in this, as the more one employs empathy, the more one seems to distance oneself from another, or others. This distance is not a lack of intimacy, but a practice in non­attachment, one of the most difficult forces, or fuels, for Agape.

In terms of Health, we think that the year was fairly stable, but if any issues were processed by the body, we think they would have been in the neck, knees, and/or sinuses.

These would be indicative of issues relative to any resistance to the acceptance and transformation of disappointments, both in recent history and from wounding in the past.

Looking through 2014, we might describe the themes with the term: NURTURING.

We use this term to describe 2014 because as the year unfolds, a break from the subtle and obvious practices of non­attachment seems to come, returning you into a stream of affections, intimacy, and closeness that is simply not fraught with any of the entangling attachments and definitions that may usually come into play. You were well ahead of this curve in the first place, but one of [MEntity]: your long-term patterns seems to be all about this real world application of Agape without sacrifice to intimacy and nurturing.

When we say the above, we mean this in terms of it being for the self as much as for Other.

Correction: theme would be referred to as True Nurturing.

In Relationships, the sub pattern here would seem to be a primary pattern, as Agreement after Agreement starts to stream in around April, and connections and resonance begins to be sorted through for new relationships and return of old ones.

We would suggest taking on a playful air of celebration after April that does not worry too much about sorting through what is what, who is who, and how you will fall into patterns. The more refined focus on those patterns would seem to be around June or July.

The sub patterns in Perspective seem to be an emphasis on fusion between your inner perspective and outer experience. There is often a pattern of awakening to Agape that goes from a deep blurring of lines between personal wounding and what one seeks from a relationship, and then into a sometimes painful distancing between self and Other as a way to own one's own wounding and to leave room for Other's wounding, and then through a kind of resignation that turns into surrender regarding being close to Others. Eventually there comes the shift into a paradoxical state that can uphold the truths of one's responsibilities for self, and the freedoms of Other, while neither being different or separate things.

Navigating from a state of self and other being the same, but not, comes only when Agape is generated.

Keep in mind here that these patterns we describe are not dominant or even the conscious focus of the year, but are woven even into pursuits for accomplishment, career, and even in the demands of every day life. We do not mean to imply that your year will center around the themes we describe, but that these themes are woven through the center.

In terms of Health, we think that diet would be an emphasis as the year unfolds, reflecting a shift in your body that is directly linked to a shift in your thinking, and if your impulses for "healthy" choices are followed, the year may be navigated in a way that side­steps most ailments that might have come otherwise.

We will conclude here for today, Nicholas. Good day to you, and good year from you, both behind and in front of you.
