I was recently asked to speak
about the next level up from living in the now.
This dissertation will be of interest to those
who are looking for the next step to "living in
the now."
In the early 70's Ram Dass coined the phrase "Be
Here Now" through his book that goes by the same
name. In past few years, many are
re-experiencing the spiritual benefits of living
in the now, partially due to the popularity of
books like The Power of Now. However, "now" is
just part of the equation. Unless we also "be"
and exist in the "here" the process of living in
the now is not complete. In this article I will
discuss the "here" part of the formula.
"Here" refers to a place. Our physical bodies
exist in space and time. Wherever there is time,
there must be space. Why is this so? Because
time vibrates denser than space. Those who have
had experiences out of body may have experienced
this phenomenon – the past, present and future
seem to blend into one. When we drop the body
and move out into the rings around the
earth-life-system (these rings were well
documented by Robert Monroe), we exist in a
dimension where time does not exist, however
there is still a sense of space . . .although
space seems a lot more fluid when in the rings.
Where is the "here" in "Be Here Now?" The "here"
exists at the core of our being, physically in
our spinal column. This place is sometimes
called the place of the Core Star by some
Knowledge Schools. The Hindus refer to this
shaft of light as the Shushumna. A fundamental
secret of Masters is to continuously live from
this place.

What does
living from this place mean? How do we do it? An
essential aspect of living from our core is to
always recall and return our energy back to this
core. Toltecs understand the importance of
recalling and returning our energy from people,
places, and things in our life. The
recapitulation is one such technique for doing
so. We teach other processes and techniques for
doing so in the Toltec Mystery School and will
be doing so in the Essence Love School of
Enlightenment.
To Be Here Now we must live in the now with our
awareness centered at the core of our being. We
must come back to this place often and return
our energy to this place. When we do so we begin
to 'radiate.' Masters often radiate essences. A
particular Master may radiate the essence of
love, for example. When you sit in the presence
of such a Master, their radiation has the power
to invoke transformation in you.
Radiation is one step higher than the law of
attraction. We want to use both of these laws in
our life. Under the law of attraction, when we
are aligned to abundance, for example, we
attract abundance into our life. On the other
hand, when we radiate abundance, instead of
attracting abundance, we transform that which is
in our presence into abundance.
For those of you who are working with living in
the now, I recommend that you take the next step
and begin to also live in the 'here'. When we
live in the here, our energy speeds up and so
does the transformation that occurs in our life.
Through living in the 'here' you will complete
what you came here to fulfill much quicker. You
will also begin to develop the beautiful quality
of radiance.

Dear Guides,
My question is multiple:1: As
a human being, what is required to be a healing force in
this world?
2: How do I apply the Four Agreement in the daily rush of
life's rushed paths?
I thank you for your time and
guidance.
-Jim
M
Dear Jim,
Thank you for your questions. The answer to your questions
is the
same. In order to become a healing force you must become a
clean,
clear, healed, and powerful vehicle for Spirit to come
through. And,
you must begin by freeing, expanding and strengthening your
awareness.
In the Mastery of Awareness, we work on both these aspects.
As you expand your awareness, there is a nice side benefit -
you begin
to collapse time. You will find that you have more time to
do the
things in life that are most important to you.
Love and Light,
K2
(Kris & Kalyn)
Dearest Guides,
Do you agree that
the kundalini can truly only be raised with the practice
of alchemy in which man and women mix their energies
without spilling the seed? And that the spilling of the
seed during orgasm makes it descend and awakens the
kundabuffer, making the human form stronger? Thank
you!!!
-Cameron
Dear Cameron,
A kundalini
rising is not that uncommon when you are we running high
energy and doing energetic process while doing your
spiritual work.
And, transcending the human form is not dependent on
whether one
ejaculates or not.
The first thing to ask oneself is, 'Why do I want a
kundalini rising?'
In and of itself, a kundalini rising can actually mess a
person up. If
you peruse the Internet, you will find many stories of
people who have
had kundalini risings and the after effects were not
fun.
However, if your intent is to grow, transform and evolve
the self, a
kundalini rising is one aspect (but not the only way)
that can help
open certain energetic pathways to higher aspects of
self. However, it
should be done in conjunction with cleaning, clearing,
healing and
strengthening the human tonal in order to get its full
effect and to
not have negative repercussions.
There are other ways to get the same results as a
kundalini rising -
ways that are more permanent in their transformation.
Transcending the human form takes much work in cleaning,
clearing,
healing and strengthening the human tonal and aligning
the tonal to
the Nagual aspects of Self.
Love and Light,
K2
(Kris & Kalyn)

Shattering the "No Time" Barrier
|
by Makayla Sadamori |
|
Sometimes, when I ask the people I work with in the
Mastery of Awareness course how they are doing with the
practical exercises accompanying the lessons, the answer
I get is they haven’t done any because they have been
very busy and haven’t had time. They say it is difficult
to manage life's everyday chores and combine that with
doing the work necessary for self to grow. This is a
common theme shared by many people aspiring to walk a spiritual path.
What creates the problem is not really the lack of time
but that people often see their spirituality as separate
from their everyday life and they believe to walk a
spiritual path means having a special time for that.
This is a big misperception that brings a split in self
– it separates our “spiritual” self from our “everyday”
self. An essential part of walking a spiritual path is
acting with integrity and a split in self cuts on that.
To have integrity we must be integral, whole, and we
can’t be whole if we have different "selves", with each
one acting in different ways.
For this reason, we need to make an effort to not engage
in perceptions or actions that feed these splits as it
is these which keep us from becoming whole.
Doing the work means living our lives with awareness. We
practice awareness and use what we have learned 24 hours
a day! This means doing it always in all aspects of our
lives, and not only in the time when we are free from
other obligations. We can be as busy as we wish and
still work on self. Actually, most of us in the Toltec
Mystery School collective have schedules full to the
brim and yet we still do our work. It is true that
sometimes we may need to sit down and ponder on areas
where we lack clarity or we may need time to meditate.
However, the basic work is on awareness and then living
this in our lives, and this can be exercised at any
given moment, no matter what we are doing. All we need
is to put our intent behind it. Then it begins to move
smoothly with the flow of our life and it becomes an
integral part of it. We begin to truly live our
spirituality. Before we incorporate spirituality into
our daily lives, we are merely toying with it.
Something else that brings difficulties is the way
people set their priorities. If you have a desire to
find what is true in self and to better self, I would
like to encourage you to truly make this desire your
priority. This means not just saying it is a priority or
thinking it is a priority in your life, but the actions
you take must support that it truly IS a priority in
your life. To the Toltecs, life is a dream and to free
ourselves from the Dream we must have dominion in our
lives. Instead of allowing ‘dealing with Life’ to take
precedence over our deepest desires, we need to use Life
as it is meant to be used – as a décor created to
promote growth and evolution. We can benefit our healing
and growth by using Life to help us gain the awareness
we need to facilitate growth - we can stalk self at
work, we can observe our reactions when we are busy or
under stress, and we can intend to stay aware of how we
interact with our friends and family. If we truly want
to make our spirituality a priority in our lives, we can
always find the time to do what we need to - we just
need to be practical and pragmatic. For example, most of
us commute to work and while that time is not free time,
we can still change what we do with this time and use it
to be with our feelings and emotions and recapitulate
those. This is what I did everyday for two years on the
train going to work. At one point it became such a
routine I could recapitulate anywhere and no matter what
else I was doing. It could be the same for you too if
you make this a priority in your life. Or you could find
your own ways to use your time more effectively and make
it work for you instead of vice versa.
The
bonus in putting our priority on doing the work and
incorporating it in our daily lives is the more we work
on self, the more we can take on ourselves without
feeling overwhelmed by it. Presently, I have a family to
care about, a job, two volunteer jobs, I guide people
through their healing process in the Toltec Mystery
School, I do my own growth work daily, and I still have
time for my hobbies and pleasure activities. The more
aware we are and the more Self-Present we are, the more
we can compress time and accomplish more in less time.
This is the magic of this path and I so hope you can
experience it too! Your lives will feel fuller, but
instead of feeling intimidated, this fullness will bring
you joy!
Love & Light,
Makayla

Be
Impeccable with Your Word
To speak is an action,
as it is something that our bodies do. The words we use
are significant and important, but focusing on our action
is key.
To take this agreement a step further, we must be impeccable
with our actions, not just our words since speaking is
only one of many actions we take. We must look at what
we do and why we do it so that our actions have our intent
to be impeccable in them.
At this time of the year, it is beneficial and impacting
to choose the actions we take. Ending the year as best
as possible will complete the cycle of this year well.
Well-ended cycles create better beginnings, a better
year for 2005 in this case.
So, how does one end the year impeccably? We all have
the power of choosing every minute of our lives: we choose
what we will wear, what we will eat and what activities
we engage in. To end your year as impeccably as possible,
consider your choices while striving to make the most
beneficial and healthy choices possible for yourself.
Choose to honor yourself by doing what you know you need
to do for yourself.
Some obvious actions may be doing things like cleaning
your home, ending a fight or expressing feelings that
have gone unexpressed in your life. Deeper actions may
go within, focusing on what you need to do for yourself
such as choosing healthier foods, choosing to complete
an incomplete project or resolving a long-running problem
in your life.
Being impeccable in our lives creates clarity for us,
both energetically and physically. May you create an
impeccable end to 2004 and a clear and vibrant 2005!
Love and
Light,
Kalyn

Mastery
of Awareness - AUDIO
COURSE on CDs: An Alternative |
|
For
those who are unable to work directly with a teacher
or who just wish to supplement this work, Kris and
Kalyn have created an alternative, the Mastery of Awareness
Audio Course on CDs. The CDs include not only lessons,
but also energetic, meditative processes, and also live
commentary from Kris and Kalyn. You can listen to the
CDs in your car (not the meditative processes please)
or in the convenience of your home.
TESTIMONIAL: Here
are some testimonials. (Thank you Dan, Mel, Matthew and
Coyote!)
"Hello
K2,
I just received my first two cd's from the MOA course. It's
great to have a voice to associate with the text read in
emails or on the forum. The teachings and lessons
become much more personal. I like the conversation
format used too. Thank you so much for putting the
cd's together. I look forward to the next." ~Dan
"Hi K2!
I love the Mastery of Awareness CD's! Kris and Kalyn,
your commentaries have really helped. The lessons
on tape put them in a different dimension for me (out of
cyber space and into a voice)...one with more physical
aspects. I love your voices too. Anyway, I
listen to them in the car. . .so that makes me happy to
spend that time in the car this way.
with Love and Light,
Mel"
"The
CDs add a whole extra dimension. I like to learn by
reading, and when I listen to Kris and Kalyn on the
CDs, it takes me out of my pattern - which is what
this is all about. I have also never had much success
with meditation exercises that I read. The guided
exercises are a help to me, because I can release having
to remember what I read and just listen to Kris. Writing
about it makes my left big toe tingle for some reason.
 " ~Matthew
"I have received my first
two CD’s on the MOA Course. I have to agree with
Matthew—about it being nice to have a voice so when we
meditate, we don’t have to remember “what’s next”. I
love the meditation of the three bodies. . .I am
enjoying the course and look forward to the other CD’s
coming as well as picking up the lessons through the
email." ~Coyote |
