Oneness and Defying Gravity

Incredible it is how many layers there are to this oneness work. So Anakah seeds the beginning of her Oneness work inside Carolyn Myss' work, and now after reading Defy Gravity I see Carolyn's work and our oneness work equally integral to the other's entelechy, all part of a greater whole.

Carolyn describes how we need to work through the potentially destructive shadow passions of our bodyheartmindsprit not by overthinking our problems but by opening ourselves to the graces of our bodyheartmindsprit.

While reading Genesis 22:8 this morning from the Biblcal portion discussing Noah and the Flood, it became clear to me how aligning with the One is absolutely central to the kind of processes Carolyn is talking about. Genesis 22:8 includes the Hebrew phrase "Ki Yetzer Lev HaAdam Ra MiNeurav;"/meaning "For the yearnings/desires of the heart of the human are "Ra" from the time of their youth." Now "Yetzer Ha Ra" sometimes translated as our evil or shadow inclination also refers in Jewish tradition to our inclination towards aggressiveness, sexual urges, and ego assertiveness, all basic ingredients for healthy creative life as long as they're aligned with the One Who is the Source of all life, blessing, and grace, instead of being aligned with ego-centeredness. These issues of Yetzer Ha Ra in turn are very close to some of the areas Carolyn Myss looks at and are also directly tied in with the chakra system in our bodies and the kabbalistic Tree of Life.

A parallel powerful connection that also came to me today was in a central chant used with the Jewish New Year Holidays: U-t'shuvah, u-t'fillah, u'tz'dakah ma'avirin et ro'a ha-g'zeirah But [Teshuvah]Repentence/Return/Realignment with the One, and [Tefillah] heartfelt prayer, plus [Tzedakah]righteous action [Ma'avirin]transform/cause to pass to another place [Ro'a (same root as Ra)]the harshness/shadow side of [Ha-Gezerah] the decree of how we're written into the Book of Life.

So all of this is part of the One, and to become fully manifested in our lives only requiring our continuing and ongoing active participation in aligning ourselves with the One, and with the manifesting of the One in our interactions with other people and with the entire universe, and through our doing this in all the four worlds of our bodyheartmindspirit.
