Feminism as a force or intensity has to disrupt all officially charted maps – it calls for the remapping of relationships. Everything has to be called into question. Including the possibility of love. This is a big, ambitious, crucial project that breaks with what is traditional or ossified. ~ Avital Ronell (1952-)

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

A utopian model of connection doesn’t currently exist on Earth with any prominence. Yes, there are a few exceptions, and they serve a valuable purpose as we embrace an expansive notion of connection, but there are many more levels on which we can connect than we ever imagined. Hundreds. Thousands, even.

To use words like relationship or friendship doesn’t begin to come close to what I envision; what I know about connection anchored in the deepest recesses of an ancient certainty of how things were always intended to be. Unfortunately, the words relationship and friendship are tainted; permanently damaged; infused with fragmentation due to millennia of misunderstanding, misuse and misapplication. As-is, they do not accurately describe the depth and multi-dimensionality of what is possible for us.

On a daily basis, I am gifted with downloads of new paradigm connection felt-sense; that subtle, not-yet-anchored energy of where we are headed individually and as a collective. I am completely groping in-the-dark and yet something drives me to explore this further.

It’s not easy to describe, but these current downloads are refinements of what has always been my waking guiding wisdom of connection based on my celestial origins. My sense of connection is very different from those of the society into which I was born. As such, this Earth-plane adventure has often been a confusing experience. The constructs of relationship and friendship here make no sense to my highly-sensitive nature. Expectation, jealousy, defensiveness, competition, cruelty, imposition, egoic agenda, judgement, protectiveness, punishment… yes, these are some of the worst aspects of human interaction, but they make my point.

There are so many rules. Rules confuse me. Dogma confuses me. Maybe you feel the same. Rules and dogma eliminate any chance for real connection. In fact, they can actually prevent it. Keep this in mind: the combination of rules + dogma never provided an opportunity for true, authentic, open-hearted engagement. So, what is the magical element of real connection?

In sharp contrast to current societal convention, rules and dogma…

where I come from
L*O*V*E
is the only experience and expression.

It is absolute and unconditional.
It is all-encompassing.
It is comforting.
It is vast and abundant.
Souls are fully-present,
wholly accessible,
and emanate the bounty that is love.

How lovely to even imagine that high vibration wafting onto this Earth plane to gently replace what now exists. (Before continuing, take a moment to close your eyes and fuel this image with your thoughts, if it resonates for you. As you know, thoughts become tangibles.)

As I have explored both personal and professional New Age connections and the elements that best represent them, I was inspired this week to develop a manifesto. The official definition of manifesto is:

man·i·fes·to [man-uh-fes-toh]
noun, plural man·i·fes·toes
a public declaration of intentions, opinions, objectives, or motives,
as one issued by a government, sovereign, or organization.

As it relates to Golden Age connections (if it’s easier for you, just think of what we currently term friendship or relationship), the term — wo*man*ifesto — is an energetic encapsulation of our intent as soulful beings to co-create and simultaneously experience new ways of connecting, based in pure, incorruptible love. These exciting new ways are not based in conventional constructs, for those have served their purpose and are being transformed into higher vibrational constructs of limitless form. Pretty cool, huh?

By using the term wo*man*ifesto, I am not specifically outlining relationships between women and men, for our future holds many different configurations. Instead, the term is a pact, of sorts, that women and men adopt to demonstrate their commitment to consciously move into a more full, dynamic experience.

My desired connection wo*man*ifesto looks like this:

Over-arching elements

  • This template is universal, meaning all of these (following) points are essential to any connection. The degree or depth will vary (is it a romantic connection? a friendly connection? a casual connection? a passing connection?), but whether or not these elements are present is never in question.
  • By its very nature, the caliber of this connection (the one right in front of you) requires you to step forward into your fullness; to explore yourself on a deeper level than ever before. You may feel exposed, uncomfortable, uncertain, and/or ill-prepared OR blissful, excited, happy, and more free than ever.

Characteristics

  • I feel free to be myself. You are free to be yourself.
  • I am open and willing to express myself honestly and fully, even if I think you might disagree with or dislike my expression. It’s more important to always be myself.
  • I am receptive to your authentic, honest and open expressions, even — or especially — when I disagree or dislike your expression. It’s more important to always be yourself.
  • We continually challenge ourselves to look beyond our own needs, wants, desires, preferences to consider: What can I say/do to contribute to his/her happiness? How can I validate him/her? What does s/he need from me in this moment and how can I accommodate her/him? Etc.

Communication

  • We speak openly about any issues that come up, determine a mutually-beneficial solution, and move on.
  • We discuss matters respectfully, while reserving the right to express in our own way.
  • We confront communication challenges as a united team. There is only one side: us.
  • We talk about issues that matter to us as individuals, because it is essential to our own well-being to do so within the framework of a safe environment.
  • We don’t assume the other person is better off not knowing what we’re thinking/feeling/experiencing. We let them decide for themselves by sharing pertinent information/the facts based on the truth of our authentic thoughts/feelings/experiences.
  • We are each equally willing to initiate vulnerable discussions, when necessary, in an effort to build greater intimacy and mutual trust.
  • When we need/want something, we ask for it with open communication.

Tangible intimacy

  • We understand that intimacy takes many forms, but is anchored by tangible expressions including words and actions.

Activities

  • We spend time together doing activities that invoke play, lightheartedness, fun, creativity, expansion, and intimacy.
  • All shared activities are opportunities to expand our sense of self in the safety of a trusted connection.

Equally-vested

  • We each agree that investing in our connection requires time, attention, patience, understanding, and ongoing navigation.
  • We make our connection a priority when we are together.
  • When together, we do our utmost to be and give the best of ourselves, but we know the most important thing always is to be our most authentic selves, and to support the other in being and becoming more of their authentic self.
  • We are accountable to each other and ourselves for creating a mutually-healthy and mutually-beneficial connection.
  • We invest equally to THIS connection to maximize the benefit for both. Neither invests more than the other. Neither does either take more from the connection than they invest.
  • We each understand that we use this connection as a catalyst for our individual growth while attending to, nourishing, and supporting the other.
  • Every exchange of THIS connection is an opportunity to build more trust, safety and intimacy in THIS connection. That naturally emanates into the world without effort.
  • We have confidence in our co-llaboration. We know that with cooperation and objectivity, together we can figure out and navigate anything.

Miscellaneous

  • I am a catalyst for your limitless unfolding, however that naturally flows. You are the same for me.
  • I am a safe haven to play and explore anything/everything. You are the same for me.
  • Even though we have done our individual work, there is only so much we can accomplish on our own. I want to stretch myself with a fuller experience that can only be facilitated by another person. You provide the same for me.
  • We don’t put energy into posing/positioning so the other won’t be disappointed in us. Disappointment — or the possibility of it — doesn’t even exist here, so we are completely free to be ourselves.
  • Although we have connections with others with varying constructs, we do not hide those connections or keep them secret from our connection. They are not the focus of our attention, but neither are they treated as if they don’t exist.
  • We tolerate no “elephants in the room.” We address issues immediately, agree on solutions that benefit both parties, and move on.
  • We keep no secrets. When we become uncomfortable in our silence, we illuminate truth by talking openly.
  • We co-create as we go along, knowing we can never map-out everything, for in trying to do so, we may miss spontaneous moments of delicious surprise along the way.
  • We understand the power of actually creating what we want this connection to be instead of thinking about it as something that already exists that we are simply experiencing… like some mapped-out life plan decided by someone else.
  • Each in our own ways, we master our power-to-create to enliven and enrich this connection.
  • We value the connection by keeping the other abreast of what is happening in our inner world.

This is an uncharted exploration. I don’t know what lies ahead. No one does. However, you are invited to embark without exactly knowing your destination or what will happen along the way. Can we set some parameters for mutual understanding as we set out? Sure. That’s what this wo*man*ifesto is… a starting place; a way to get the conversation started; a few concrete ideas and actions anchored in so we can actually live new love, for that’s all connection is: a way to love others.

Now that I’ve created a template, what are your ideal aspects of new connection? What would you add to your personal wo*man*ifesto?

sacrificing Who You Are compromises us all

ascension, evolutionary, free to be, freedom, spiritual, transformation, truth

We are being beckoned by the greatness of All That Is into the fullness of Who We Are.

Along the journey, I notice old (but still very prominent) paradigm patterning — especially among women — compromising the very (sacred) essence of Who We Are.

We comply. We acquiesce. We maintain a pleasant persona. We defer. We apologize inappropriately. We remain silent in the face of abhorrent behavior. We silence ourselves. We silence other women. “Ssshhhhhhhhh,” we say.

Think about the many ways you are willing to sacrifice your unique expression. No, really. Think about it. Why do you do it? To keep the peace? To be accepted by others? To maintain the status quo? To simply fit in?

There’s a cost, you know. The cost is that we squelch our voices for so long, in so many little (seemingly insignificant) ways, that we forget we have a voice. When we forget we have a voice, we stop speaking (why bother?). When we stop speaking, our Divine life essence diminishes. When our Divine life essence diminishes, dreams (and entire life manifestations) cease to be realized in their fullness.

When we silently sacrifice our unique expression, we are subconsciously, but actively, participating in the compromise of ourselves, all women and all girl children. I ask: What deity does this behavior honor? In its perpetuation, what value does it serve?

Speak up, I say! Express yourself in the fullness of Who You Are, I say! You have a voice gifted to you by the Creatrix/Creator. No societal dictate or collective, silent agreement has authority over your personal expression. You are only accountable to yourself, your Creatrix/Creator, and The Collective that is impacted by the absence of your unique voice and your inability to express the fullness of Who You Are.

Too much is lost in the “shush.” Collectively and individually, we cannot afford the cost. Let it out, Sisters. Let it all out. You came to express the fullness of Who You Are. Let it be so. In every word, thought, action and feeling… let it be so.

Mary was imprisoned by her story…

17 Tuesday May 2016

ascension, change, evolutionary, luminary, new paradigm, spiritual, transformation

… and I couldn’t help her unless and until she did this ONE thing. (You’ll find out what it was as you read our private email exchange after she requested a fr*ee 15-minute session.)

Mary’s original session application said:

I was raped repeatedly at age two by my step father. I was abused by him in all other ways throughout my childhood. I have a lot of intense fears of many things. I have lots of anxiety. I wake up hyperventilating at times and have had hives from stress.

Eight months ago I got out of a two-year relationship with a sociopath, habitual liar, and sex addict.  

I have had PTSD several times. I am currently in a relationship where past issues are being triggered to come up for release.  I have felt like I am having PTSD again on some level.  Wishing I were dead has come up a few times in the past two weeks as a result.  I feel I can’t keep going through this anymore. My heart can’t take any more pain.

Mary’s second submission later that day:

I have thought of some more things I want to add. I feel that I am very much emotionally messed up. I feel there is so much I can’t seem to control within me as a result of the childhood trauma I experienced. Here are additional things I wanted to add that I have noticed about myself.

* Trying to control things (to feel safe from getting hurt)
* Hard to go with the flow
* Insecure
* Angry
* Feel like a victim at times
* Hyper-vigilance
* Need help to open my heart to receiving love
* Don’t love myself


As energy healers, we navigate the interesting and often heart-wrenching twists-and-turns of working with prospects and clients.
The degree of damage that we carry as individuals is enormous and the pain we drag with us becomes unbearable. That’s when people often reach out to us for support.

I didn’t respond to Mary’s request for a session until the next day, which is very unlike me. I usually respond within minutes and yet I could not move into the space occupied by Mary because it was FULL of her story. I knew I could not help her by joining her there.

With careful contemplation and extensive spiritual preparation, I responded:

Hello, Mary~

Thank you for your inquiry about a 15-minute session.

As an energy worker, it is vital for me to ascertain the clients who will benefit the most from my services, including the complimentary 15-minute session.

From experience, clients who achieve the greatest results are those who have moved beyond their story and the retelling of their story into a position of taking full responsibility for directing their lives. This isn’t to say what occurred in your history can be ignored or that it didn’t shape your current experience, but as luminaries we MUST be willing to step into something new. The way to do that is to consciously begin functioning in new ways and be fully responsible and accountable for every aspect of our lives.

You are not a victim of your circumstances unless you continue to choose this position with your words, thoughts, actions and feelings, feeding and perpetuating the “old story.”

That is not a blaming statement. I, too, was physically and sexually invaded as a child and it was only *I* who could decide at a pivotal moment-of-truth at the age of 36 to live consciously, with meaning and value that *I* determined, and not based on my childhood experiences.

I meet clients at the point of their willingness to take full ownership of their lives. And that’s the only place their world opens up. I am a facilitator and can only do my part. Clients who realize miraculous results in working with me are those who have “stepped up” like never before, often into the greatest challenge of their lives.

As unpopular as it is, to do my best, sometimes I must use words as a means of accountability. That is my gift. So, I invite you to explore these comments and choose how you want the rest of your life to unfold. Whatever you decide is exactly what you will experience; truly any scenario is possible for you, but it must first be emphatically claimed and declared by you as your desire.

I will check in with you next week via email to determine a best-direction (a session or other resources) based on what you decide and what you experience in the coming days.

In the mean time, I HIGHLY recommend listening DAILY to the most recent transmission from Children of the Sun and allowing the encoded healing that it contains to support you.

Know that the Universe fully supports the vision you hold for yourself; make it a good one!

Best,
Charlon

I hit the “send” button, releasing this message into the great All That Is. I had done my best job at honoring my intuitive knowing that I had to do more than agree to hosting her session. I had to give a voice to truth.

Later that afternoon, I opened an email from Mary, not having any idea what her response would be. Whatever it was, all was well. It had to be. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to read:

Mary said:

Thank you, Charlon.

It’s interesting that you sent me this message today. Last night while laying in bed thinking about things, I came to the conclusion that I am not my past or what happened to me. I am a wonderful person on many levels and the only thing that keeps me trapped in victim mode is myself. I realized that I must tell a different story and release the old stuff coming up and just like cleaning house, get rid of the last remaining bits of that old story. 

That is the opportunity that I have now to finally release it as all it is now is remnants of emotions from the past. I chose to react differently this time, change the story to one where I get what I want and deserve as a child of God. I will not claim that old story as mine ever again. I am stepping up into myself. Today I feel more love and empowerment!

… [I] feel better emotionally today than I have for two weeks. I am now taking responsibility for my part in creating my life. I have, this morning, emphatically claimed how I want my life to be and the telling of a different story.
 
Thank you.
 
Love,
Mary

Wow. Just wow.

So, what’s in the illumined insight from this story?

  1. As hard as it is to change the habit, we MUST choose to thrive and tell a different story if we want to experience a different life.
  2. We choose a different story with every word, thought, action and feeling.
  3. It is our Divine birthright to direct the course of our life by declaring that it is so; by taking full authority.
  4. Miracles begin where/when we “step up.”
  5. When it is our sacred duty to speak truth, we must. When we do this with humility and to preserve the value of our unique gifts, we make ourselves available for those who are truly ready to receive the benefits of our services.


Mary changed her life today. And so can you.

~ * ~ *~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

A personal note to Mary: I bow in awe to the great courage it took to change the trajectory of your life. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of having a front-row seat to your amazing transformation. You are a true inspiration and I wish you a miracle-filled journey.

In love and support,
Charlon

are you ready to ditch your story?

evolutionary, free to be, freedom, happy, insight, new paradigm, power

If you want to truly live, it’s essential.

What’s “your story?” The repetition in your words, thoughts, actions and feelings of how you’ve been wronged, disadvantaged, cheated, fragmented, etc. As luminaries and/or evolutionary entrepreneurs, there’s a higher standard for us. Often we are beckoned to do the more difficult things; to be more accountable; to model the new earth energies. Yeah, I know… what were we thinking?!

Relating to the state of the planet, Cormac Cullinan states, “the rules by which we have been governing ourselves are not working. It is time to change the rules of the game.”

The rules of the entire game of life have already changed: planetarily, humanitarily, scientifically, spiritually, physically, emotionally, psychologically, etc. Like it or not, we are moving in unprecedented directions at increasing speeds. Have you noticed that time itself has changed? Without being able to clearly identify the difference, there is one. Events are unfolding with or without us. I don’t know about you, but I want to be in on the new game. I want to be a part of consciously and lovingly crafting our new direction.

To do that I must be fully present.
To be that, I must shed the feelings of identity I have with Who I Was.
To do that I must ditch my story.

I am no longer her. You are no longer her/him.

As long as you “feed the monster” (perpetuating your tired, old story in your words, thoughts, actions and feelings), you are everywhere but here, in this moment. If this moment is so full of What Was, it cannot reveal the juice of What Is; What Is is saturated with What Was and can never come into the fullness of itself.

So what’s the resolve? Ditch your story. As long as you’re looking back, you cannot envision your future. Let it go. Get your power back. Really. It is an option. And you can choose it right now.

Through the years, I have openly shared my personal story of childhood sexual molestation. I realized one day very recently that a molested child is not Who I Am. Retelling the story kept me There. I am a spark of this Universe. I am a beacon of hope. I am many things, but that story had to go. I am not a victim of circumstances. My story had no purpose any longer in my awareness; no value, in my words, thoughts, actions or feelings. So, I consciously decided to move beyond it, promising to be fully present in eager anticipation of every future moment. And it really feels complete. I feel lighter and happier.

No one ever heard me say this journey was easy. But it can full of joy when you understand that you are not your story. And when you come alive to the fullness of pure possibility without your story, you can set it down with grace, acknowledge that it served you well, and move beyond it to create a life that’s expansive and is a true reflection of your soulful self; who you really are.

I see you, beautiful.
