Thanks Della, a good question, and it is timely a few words be spoken on this matter.
For most members of Soma, this is their primary sanctuary for sharing their real inner journey in this life. We have known each other now for years - the forum’s names change, but the association doesn’t much vary. We have our own personal topography of evolution in this life, but due to our association, there is an underlying group spirit that is influenced by and influences each of us.
We are arriving at a threshold. Individually that is at different stages, but due again to our association, that threshold is also embedded in the spirit of the group, currently that means Soma. Soma is experiencing a Kundalini event - for at least since the beginning of this year, I have been feeling the restless stirrings. In the last few months I have been feeling this more pronounced, and so I have been quietly seeding Soma with a few critical inputs.
There has been a suggestion that the occasional reduced intensity of posting and engagement in Soma is a sign of its impending demise. This is a superficial view. Soma like all agglomerations goes through tides of low and high intensity, which do not correlate with the relevance and significance of its deeper energetic flow. It does not mean that because many posts are firing, the quality of interaction is more significant. It does help the social side of Soma, but the true energetic tides often flow in quite different cycles - and these are commonly longer cycles.
My earlier comments in this thread were referring to specific events, and I am not going to tempt the gods by blabbing of these before they have fully manifested. That however does not preclude me from drawing attention to the astral energies at play here currently.
Many members are now experiencing critical thresholds in their own lives - either upcoming, in process or just passed. These personal thresholds are not only personal - each of us is energetically interwoven in the group spirit - our own struggles and arrivals feed in and are fed out of the group spirit. This means that we can not only draw support and shakti from the ‘peloton’ - the group spirit within Soma - but our personal efforts and achievements foster the peloton’s deeper transformations.
As a group, we have known each other for much longer than our current internet connection - it goes back beyond the physical. We are fast approaching a threshold which is critical for the work we are all doing internally - critical for this life. You can’t just create a group engaged in spirit development and not activate a deeper transformational process. That process has been activated and is now reaching the summit of watershed for the purpose of Soma in this life. How we negotiate this watershed is pivotal for our group’s purpose and our own purpose in this life.
The peloton is picking up speed - the inner impulse of transformation is bubbling and drawing closer to the surface. We are cycling past many on the road side who have ‘stood aside’ and given up the true fight for this life. They watch us as we speed by. We take the ‘point’ in turn - sharing the extra strain of shouldering the wind. Now it is time to awaken and invest the astral spirit of Soma with conscious vivification.
Imagine the Kundalini of Soma stirring and surging upwards. See the threshold like a summit on a long assent we have been climbing since we found each other. Look penetratingly with your astral eyes into the lower layers of Soma’s spirit and see what you can of its evolutionary surge. Thus merging your astral being with the astral being of our group’s purpose. Much shakti can be drawn down to assist our own threshold events through this. Use Soma as a common powerhouse to vitalise our own struggle and pending achievement.
There is one exercise that when done regularly, can assist this whole process. I will continue to seed the transformative energies as those seeds are passed to me, but we can each prepare ourselves and thus facilitate the advent of a task that we have come together in this life to enact. I am referring here to the Death Walk.
The Death Walk
You are on Death Row. the call comes through - you’re next. You stand up and walk slowly towards the door, knowing that behind that door, it all ends. How are you to walk?
Feel your double inside you, bent over and cramped within your tiny frame. Allow your double to unbend, feel it reaching up to its full height and power - feel its ownership of the situation - its rightful sovereignty. Walk forward deliberately, knowing this is your last walk, your last moments. This is your Death Walk.
Practice this walk whenever you can, until it becomes calm, natural and graceful.
But the best time to practice is when you have to break what you are doing to go to the toilet. Pissing and crapping are what we call inconvenient truths. Inconvenient because we want to get on with what we are doing, but instead we have to drop that and head of to the bathroom. That is how death also comes to us. So that is a perfect time to practice the Death Walk. There is nothing more truthful, interfering and mundane, than having to drop our activity, and head off to pinch a loaf ... or die.
Grasp the moment, acknowledge the call has come. Accept it - stand and walk with dignity and presence. Stop before the doorway, knowing that you will not come back through again. This is it.
Death in the astral means major change. That is what we are facing - what I have described above as the imminent threshold. The Death Walk is also our threshold walk. Nothing will be the same again. If we practice this walk, we prepare ourselves in the best way for a transformation that will launch us into a destiny selected long before we came to this moment, this life.
