Creating Living Relations with the Elements of Earth and Sky & Harmonic Resonance

by Zacciah Blackburn

The Ancients and Elders of most cultures have said that all things are living, the entire Cosmos is Alive. Learning to gain right access to Gateways of Consciousness is through entering Living Relations with the Living Energies of the Cosmos. 

The Living Elders say we must enter Living Relations with the Living Energies of Earth and Sky in order to enter our highest states of potential. Many also suggest this will be necessary, that enough of us must enter this level of Reality, that All Things are Alive, and gain Living Relationship with them, in order to create the catalyst of change for the planet today, in this Time of Great Transformation. The Q'ero prophecies of Peru (Descendants of the Inkas) especially speak to this. They say entering in these Living Relations will birth and nourish the "Seed of Our Potential" into fulfillment (Awakening, Enlightenment, or Ascension, as you choose to call it) and elevate the entire Planet as enough of us enter these states of Living Understanding and Wisdom of the Interconnectedness of All Life.

It, also, will resolve those burning questions of "Who Am I?" and "Why Am I Here?" when we enter our authentic expression of self, through our Potential of Being.

The Q'ero speak of the Living Energies of the Cosmos, that everything is Alive. The Trees, the Forests, the Grasses, the Fertile Plains, the Waters of the Oceans, the Rivers, the Lakes, the Streams, the Falling Waters of the Sky, the Stones, the Mountains, the Animals, that speak our thoughts and weave our webs of understanding in relation to the Whole, the Great Mystery of Life. All is part of the Web.

They have a specific methodology for entering these relations and ceremonial Initiatory Rites to assist us in entering them and reaching our Potential, an awakened state of reality, in relationship with All Life.  

Harmonic Resonance

What happens when we enter Living Relations with elements of the Earth and/or Sky is that we, fundamentally, enter in harmony with, or "entrain" to, the fundamental Resonance of that we are in relationship with. This serves two things. One, it brings us, through resonance with those principals of Harmony, into a Harmonic Resonance with All Life because this is an underlying Principal of All Life. That being, that All Life has arisen from one source, whether seen in evolutionary scientific terms or through the eyes of mystical science. Two, there is an underlying Rhythm, or pulse, which pervades All Life. Through this rhythm, or resonance, All Life unfolds in dynamic proportions, or harmonic relations. The Ancients called this "Divine Proportions," and it is visible in the Earth Spectrum, the Spectrum of the Cosmos, and in Human Intelligence, through what is known as the Sacred Geometries. This, in itself, is a life-long study. But, one can find tremendous resources on this subject in any simple word search on line. It fundamentally states that All Life arises from one source and unfolds in these Divine Proportions, evident throughout nature and the life cycles within it.

The Elders of the indigenous nations might call this "Harmony with All Life." It is fundamental to the understanding of the Wheel of Life, or the Great Circle of Life, whether studying Cherokee wisdom or Tibetan Wisdom. But, it is, also, VISIBLE, in any simple study of how the proportions of life unfold from a human embryo to a galactic cluster. It is evident throughout the full spectrum of Life.

We resonate in these Harmonies unless we have chosen to step out of Balance. Western/modern culture, in general, lives out of balance as evidenced in our vast misuse of resources, overpopulation, dysfunctional governments and societies, near a brink of collapse.

One of the easiest ways to re-enter this harmonic relation with All Life is simply to step back into it. This may sound complicated, or simplistic, depending on your tone. However, it is simple if we can let go of that which keeps us in dissonance, or disharmonious resonance, and simply step into our own dynamic Harmony with Life. It is not that hard, other than the letting go.

The Elders say we are in a time of such letting go, and that all things which no longer serve us will crumble away. Those of us who choose to embrace our authentic Divine Nature will find the Harmony of All Life supporting us in its underlying form, supporting our life choices and life purpose as they unfold.

To be continued … stay tuned for more next month!
