WHEN A STORM IS ON ITS WAY, MAKE A DECLARATION FROM THE HEART
The declaration:
We are conscious channels; go-betweens between Spirit and the material world. A go-between link. That is our function. We are queers, revolutionaries, in-betweeners skilled in the arts of prophecy, invention, art and social change. Because we live on the boundary, the place between man and woman, in being neither we access the realm beyond that is the meaning of being queer:—different to the status quo. We are jugglers, pitcher-pourers, skilled magicians. Our innate queerness makes us so. We are not apart from society, but beyond it. And being beyond we are in unity consciousness: that which is before us, all of us, and in front. We are the wayshowers, the leaders, the guides. We give another Reality, and in doing so—in being us—we tap into something deeper, more primordial—something that has existed in the psyche of humankind since time immemorial: we are gay, happy. We are joy, incarnate.
On the declaration:
Sometimes the best things come put of the blue—unstructured, less manufactured. This was certainly true when I sat down to write what would become my version (listen below) of the 1527 Ninety-five Theses by Martin Luther, which he nailed to the doorways of the Castle Church in Germany. Luther’s Ninety-five was a remarkable feat, birthed in the ferment of Renaissance Europe, which challenged the primacy of the Catholic Church. As a celebration of queer spirituality and avant-garde rule-breaking beyond the confines of any religiosity, my silly writing on an upcycled cardboard scrap may not be entirely Luther-esque, but it is a clarion call for these times.
Luther challenged the ruling elite status quo—the Papacy, the single most powerful force in medieval Europe at the time, capable of making and breaking empires—and we must too. Too often we misplace our awareness of who and what is stealing our power—and in the end it does not matter who it is, but that it is us giving our power away. We must become aware of who we are and what we are here for.
Sometimes it is by us not showing up and holding ourselves fully that we give our power away the most easily. It is often through denying ourselves the full expression of who we are that we eat at ourselves the most fully. Well, toss that. That was then and this is now.
All change begins with an idea, and the idea of our time is that we are all called to be conscious channels. This is precisely what the higher realms want us to realise: that being a conscious channel is a decision we must make in the inward recesses of our heart, right now. That we can and do transmit the Nameless Light.
A declaration changes hearts and a declaration will change your life: make a declaration from the heart, and you will never be the same. The heart knows when it is brought into resonance with Spirit, because Spirit is the communication link between all things. It is a state of enlightened embodiment registered in the emotional and higher-feeling aspects of incarnation. That is, your perception of connection with all things is the experience of ultimate Reality: it is expanded perception underscored by, and defined by, openness to experience. Open to experience and you will expand your perception. Expand your perception, and you will open to experience. The heart in its fullest expression—connected to all things—is the higher heart.
The higher heart is our four-way link between inner and the outer, Heaven and Earth. The higher heart is the tunnel through which the Nameless Light flows into you each day and in every moment. Declare your intent to receive from the Nameless Light (within your heart) and you will change your life—you will catalyse the blossoming of your higher heart (that is a big one!)
Do not be dissuaded from recognising the urgency of these times: it is imperative that we reclaim our strength and sovereignty, and reopen to our ultimate knowingness. It starts with our ability to receive (we can all do that, with our easiest willingness) and the fortitude to trust in the voice for Spirit—that voice that is in us but not of us. All else will follow. These are trying times, but they only seem to just be getting worse.
Luther set himself up to influence Western and Christian history (and you can too, after making the conscious or unconscious decision to be a receiver and transmitter of the Nameless Light.) All around the world people are asking, ‘what can I do?’ The answer is easy, but often our resistance to walking the path is not: receive the voice of Spirit through the higher heart. Nothing else is needed. Oh, and follow what your higher heart tells you (remember: it is the part of you in touch with Spirit’s guidance.)
We must act on the guidance received from the higher realms. We must act on our own inner knowing. Having a rational plan based on yesteryear—no matter how well-crafted the plan—is only half the story. Anything might happen. Anything could happen. The future is uncertain; the world is chaotic. And the storm is on its way. For many, it is already here.
Dark forces are collecting, and when chaos hits, old beliefs go out the window. Yet we do have a choice to throw them out now. Before it is too late. Before it hurts.
Anything holding you back from the fullest expression of your extraordinary expanded Self is a pattern of consciousness that has run its course. Usually, it is a pattern of belief that needs clearing. Not because your old beliefs and old ways of being did not work—they did for a while, and in many ways they did serve us, for ill or profit—but because they do not work now. We must be radically open to change. We must be radically open to saying, ‘yes, I receive.’ We must be radically open to clearing out all of our stuck beliefs and rewiring our consciousness in experience. That is where repatterning happens—guidance hits in the present moment. And through this we will be delivered to our strength, our sovereignty, and our power: for what we need do, what we need say, who we need to be, and where we need go will be known through us. The higher realms care for us and do have a plan for us. They want us to receive our own higher heart's guidance. We must listen with grace and dignity to that. And then with our easiest willingness to follow Spirit in the higher heart, our extraordinary Self will be.
The higher realms do have the final say—but the question is, how long will it take for us to listen? I hope you enjoy reading my declaration as much as I did crafting it.
