This being human is a guest house.
Every morning
a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, who sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
~ Rumi
Soweo is an Angelic Being, known more commonly as Archangel Raphael - "Angel of Healing". Soweo shared with me this new name which resonates more closely with the vibration of this Angel's essence as well as the energy of the new age movement.
I am uncertain whether the energy of this angelic being carries a more masculine, feminine or androgynous/balanced essence, but for the sake of simplicity and because this is the energy that shows up for me when personally interacting or working with Soweo, I will use masculine terms.
When Soweo first made himself known to me, he introduced me to the Infinity Symbol as a signature of the energy he holds, and as a way of conveying a concept which would help to understand his message:
The concept behind the Infinity symbol was described to me this way: On a personal level, if you imagine yourself standing in the center of a life-size Infinity loop, in the place where the two circles overlap - one loop would extend out in front of you and the other would extend behind. The loop in the front represents your future and the loop behind represents your past. Where the two loops meet, in the center, represents The Now. This concept applies and can be tapped into on larger scales as well, such as on collective levels.
First, the key piece to understanding why this symbol represents Infinity is because, in its true form, the symbol itself is simply a circle folded upon itself. The Circle itself represents a never-ending, unbroken, open, unified whole and intrinsically connected flow of energy, One-ness. In other words -- Experience of the Infinite Or Eternal Knowledge/Knowing/Now.
If we imagine then that the Circle in its Whole state represents Eternity, we could then imagine that the Circle folded upon itself to represent a distortion of this Eternal state, knowledge or experience, and therefore within the experience of Eternity,
-the experience of Linear Time is created and made possible.
Ultimately, however, even in this distorted state the circle itself remains intact & unbroken, it has merely been temporarily moved in order that a new experience can emerge. And this experience of Linear Time can be both transcended as well as utilized Within Time, in order to create our desired reality consciously by stepping into the center of Eternal Time (The Eternal Now), where past, present and future are One and Knowledge of the Infinite can be felt and remembered. Which outside of this metaphor and inside our reality -
is reached through first by Being in The Now.
Soweo has offered this symbolic metaphor as one way of bringing yourself into awareness of being in this Now Moment.
How to apply this and what this means for you? It means this: that each time you choose to move into a full awareness of The Now, "releasing desire for gain, the future, and releasing the cares of the past", is to choose once again to open and allow experience of the Infinite, of your Eternal Self, the place you are sourced from, the place of your True Power.
Putting yourself into alignment with this Eternal Source is the place from where you can use intent to powerfully and effectively heal the past, create your desired future consciously and find greater Awareness, Gratitude and Joy in your experience each moment.
On the other hand, when you take yourself out of the Now, when your awareness is somewhere in the Past or in the Future, you have traveled away from the center of the loop forwards or backwards where you can only Experience, but not Effect. When you leave the center, you then leave your position of power where you are able to tap into Real Time or the Eternal Now and actually change or create your reality the way you would most like.
This is why many teachers are teaching that in order to create a desired future or outcome, you must imagine and feel that what you desire already exists Right Now.
This is because first of all, as mentioned, Time is ultimately an illusiory and temporary experience created for our benefit.
All of the 'past' and 'future' exists simultaneously, Right Now. Therefore essentially 'future' time does not truly exist, it is merely a concept in our minds and if you imagine that what you desire is somewhere out in the future, it remains in that imaginary future. But Right Now does exists and is very real, and therefore, can be effected, by You.
Likewise, this applies to healing the past as well. For example, if you are unconsciously or unintentionally re-playing old tapes and re-living previous emotions & thoughts formed around past experiences, you have moved backwards into the past loop and are simply re-creating more experience of what has already occured for yourself. In order to effectively heal or transform the past into the highest vision of yourself now, you must bring yourself into The Now again and imagine that your desired outcome in or as a result of the past is occuring Now.
It is equally true that you are creating your experience all the time. A creator is naturally Who You Are and what you are doing/being constantly - regardless of how you are choosing to do so. Even when you move into the past or future 'loop', you are still creating your experience because what you are thinking of and feeling in this moment, is what you create for the next moment.
You can think of it this way, applying the infinity loop concept once again: If the distorted circle allows the experience of linear time -- the experience of being on a journey 'travelling through time' experiencing a past, present and future seperate from one another -- then as we travel this loop we travel through the length of the circle and these three experiences eventually & intrinsically connect and return to one another, and therefore inevitably effect each other. What occurs at any point on the circle eventually travels through and affects and informs the rest of the circle. And the circle represents our Beingness - it is Alive.
The Now is the bridge, the crossing point where you allow movement to occur and allow experience to flow through in order to enliven, enrich, evolve & expand your Beingness.
What I am ultimately intending to describe here is a choice between creating consciously or unconsciously.
The difference between conscious creation and unconscious creation, is the difference between feeling powerful or feeling powerless to affect your reality.
The practice of Being in The Now, is a practice of first becoming fully conscious and then of creating consciously.
And this practice can be difficult to do or to sustain on a consistent basis, for a multitude of reasons, especially at first.
But every singlular moment that you practice doing this you empower yourself and you strengthen your Rememberance of Who You Really Are:
You Are an Eternal Being who is The Creator of Your Reality,
and a Co-Creator with the rest of the Uni-verse (One-Song), and with Source. You are also made of this Source from which you came. In other words You Are Source Energy, and therefore you truly do have the same power to change, transform, heal and create your own experience.
