About integral quadrants
In Dutch this time.

~~~

Aandachtsvelden
NL. 1e versie

Het lijkt erop dat onze menselijke evolutie zich beweegt
Van aandachts-punten naar aandachtsvelden

De vier meest basale aandachtsvelden Zijn de vier kwadranten zoals voorgesteld door Ken Wilber

De velden van ~Ik en ~Het-enkelvoud
~Wij en ~Het-meervoud (ENG: I~It~We~Its)

Deze vier kwadranten lijken archetypisch te zijn
D.w.z. niet verder reduceerbaar dan tot deze vier

Ze lijken ook archaïsch te zijn:
Niet verder te deconstrueren zonder te eindigen in 'the boundless timeless'

Dat laatste is een heel ander onderwerp
Een Eenheidsbewustzijn dat voor de meesten van ons (inclusief ikzelf) onvoorstelbaar is

Gelukkig zijn de vier kwadranten zijn wel voorstelbaar
En kunnen ook beleefbaar worden

Ze ontstaan door twee belevingsassen met elkaar te combineren:
Binnen ~ Buiten en Individueel ~ Collectief

~~~

Kennis maken met deze vier aandachtsvelden
Is geest-verruimend en psycho-actief Zonder dat je 'er iets voor hoeft in te nemen'

Het is een simpele kaart met vier vakken
Die je 'tot je neemt' via je ogen
Samen met het besef van hun onzichtbare altijd-aanwezigheid

Ze gaan samen op voor alles
Zijn toepasbaar op alles
Zijn her-kenbaar in alles

Deze aandachtsvelden
Vormen een geHeel
geheel dat ik Leven noem

~~~

Ik kom er nog op terug
Ik stop er even mee voor vandaag
Ik heb niet zo'n goede dag

Een oude pijn vol van paniek
Vraagt om haar verder te integreren
Dat gaat niet samen met dit soort 'verhandelingen' over iets super belangrijks

Liefs
Mar

Vol 2 Wholeness and the I-quadrant

Vol 1 zooms in a bit more on the Its-quadrant. Volume 2 on the I-quadrant before moving into exploring the We- and Its-.
All quadrants together with Source are Wholeness. Wholeness forms smaller Wholes, like the four integral quadrants combining inner and outer, individual and collective.
The four quadrants co-arise in different symphonies and other sensorial art pieces called experiences.
They weave an infinity of different streams that are never ever apart.

~~~

Wholeness

Non-duality is such a dual word
And it does not cover All
It does not cover complete totality

Non-duality is the dual plus the non-dual
It is doubly non-dual so to say
I find it confusing

So I prefer using the word Wholeness

For the Absolute plus the Relative
Nirvana and Samsara
Stillness and Eros

For feeling the co-arising
Of all four integral quadrants
Co-arising and co-returning

To Source

Where all is United
As Infinite Quality
In perfect balance

Longing to become Aliveness
Less than perfect
More than just One

Yet Whole never the less

In the It-quadrant practicality is venerated most
In the I-quadrant states of consciousness are
In the We-quadrant relationship is adored
In the Its-quadrant systems are la crème de la crème

How wonderful
To be able to move
As all of these
While being connected to Source

In my and your
Own unique way
Creating beautiful collages
Of Aliveness

Much Love

"Gayatri Mantra"

The frequency of 108 is the hidden pulse, or rhythm that is the essence of the living mathematics of Nature, it is the reason why the Vedas worshipped this number by incorporating it into their 108 rosary beads (mala) when they chant their mantras. The most revered of all mantras is the Gayatri Mantra, the most famous Eastern song or Prayer of Enlightenment which is always chanted 108 times, also has a rhythm of 24 syllables! What else embodies mathematically these two numbers 24 and 108. It can only be the Reduced Fibonacci Sequence. Thus in a sense, the Brahmins sonically encrypted or hid this rare sacred knowledge of the Universe’s underlying Patterns of Sri 108 in a song or prayer about the Triple Worlds and an Inner Sun (Savitri). The Vedas teach that this knowledge was written on the Rays of the Sun.

Living with the uncensored fire of full, unapologetic Aliveness.
How dare she?
How dare I
How dare you?

The Audacity

How dare she
Wear those shoes
And color her hair like that
And take up space
And use her voice
And allow no diminishing
Who does she think she is
You wonder as you bristle and
Make her an alien in your mind

But buried beneath
Is the seed of envy
And it was you
A stranger to yourself and your power
Who had no map to get
From here to there
Until the great fire
Came and burned away
All the thorns and brambles that kept
You from finding the way home
Into your own heart
Where you will now live
Spending your remaining beats
However you damn well please

Because you are just glad to be alive
After the great undoing and rebuilding
And in the ashes from which you arose
You will find that seed of envy
Transformed
And you will understand how all the others
Dared to be how they wished
Because you are now one
Who has gained
Freedom through fire

So you color your hair with a wisp of purple
Or let your silver shine through
And wear flowing skirts and bangles
Or every color of the rainbow at once
And your presence
Even when quiet
Announces I deserve this
And you become a
Gardener without intending
Planting a seed of permission

And one day an observer
Who is staring as you
Knowingly smile back
Will be collecting the remains
And blooms of her own fire
Only to ask her heart
Not
How dare I?
But always
How can I not?

Playing with a new title for
Conscious Interconnection Volume 2:
Get to Know your Wholeness

In this Volume I will share more of my views

I will Muse
On the utter Intimacy of Openness and Transparency

On Presencing your unused Potential & firiest Passion & frozen Patterns of Protection and their interweavings

On the utter Intimacy of relating
with Openness and Transparency
to All that is:
Your Unique Self
The Sacred
The World in all of its expressions
The subconscious and other Invisibles
And everything Else

On Living fully Alive
In the Prosperous Peace
Of Conscious Interconnection

This means going beyond the BodyMind basics And Seeing to your Balance as presented in Volume 1.

By looking and feeling into:

Deepening the quality of your aware Presence (Clarity)
Syncing with the Sacred (inner Peace)
Expanding your the range of your Perception (Resilience)

Slowly inviting you into extended abilities like:

Holding more variables at the same time
Including all four integral quadrants (It I We It's spaces and relationships) in your perception
Being able to be a point (of focussed attention), a pillar (of peaceful strength) and a wave (of natural dynamism).

And, maybe, feeling the Spontaneity of the Universe resonating with every cell of your body :)

Eternity is here
Yet I can't promise it to you

It is not mine
To give

Like you
I am a receiver

Waiting for Eternity
To Grace me and you

So we can chose to be
In Timelessness together

Where there is no waiting

~~~

I watch your hands
Unravel the roots of a hypericum

Unveiling the many gifts
Of this one little cluster

So it can spread it's roots wider
Gracing our garden

With its generosity
With splashes of enthused yellow

Frail and bright
Not waiting

For anything

Much Love

Sarada Devi embodies the feminine power that initiates seekers onto a spiritual path through unconditional love.

As a guru, Sarada Devi was known for treating all of her disciples as her children. Many of her devotees relate that she initiated them in a dream. She appeared as a goddess in human form and gave them a mantra. When they met her for the first time, they would recall the dream and know instantly they were encountering their guru.

When your soul selects her card:

Sarada Devi loved all her disciples unconditionally and equally. In her teachings she emphasized that there is no such thing as a stranger. She encouraged her devotees to understand that everyone we meet is actually a part of us, and is connected to us. And that if we want to experience true peace, we need to own the fault and judgment that we project onto others. We need to see our own faults and forgive them with love.

Sarada Devi whispers gently to us, “No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.” So if something keeps showing up in the people we meet, and in the relationships we are cultivating, Sarada asks us to meet them from within us. Meaning, the aspects of this “other” person might be causing pain or frustration or just plain aversion, these same aspects exist within us.

If we are willing to really meet with these aspects within us, the universe will keep
presenting them to us in our relationships. And it’s not to p**s us off, it’s to free us. It’s out of a deep love for us to fully heal. The goal here is for us to love ourselves fiercely from within, without judgment or shame for where we are in the moment. The goal is to let us mother ourselves with unconditional love. That’s the only love that will quiet those harsh, critical voices within us. So we can stop wasting our time mired in judgment, of others, or ourselves and get on with being the perfectly imperfect light that we are. “

You are that blessed soul who
belongs to the garden of paradise,
is it fair to let yourself
fall apart in a shattered house?

You are the bird of happiness
in the magic of existence,
what a pity! Why you let
yourself be chained and caged?

Break free!
Break free from this dark prison
called material world,
soon you will see
you are the sage and the fountain of life.

“Let someone love you just the way you are—as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”

— Iain S. Thomas

The arts are a very human way of making life more bearable.

Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your Soul grow, for heaven's sake.

Sing in the shower.

Dance to the radio.

Tell stories.

Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem.
Do it as well as you possible can.

You will get an enormous reward.

You will have created something.

"I've read a lot of books, but I've forgotten most of them. I wonder, what is the purpose of reading?"

This was the question a student once asked his Master. The Master did not answer at the time. However, after a few days, as he and the young pupil were sitting near a river, he said he was thirsty and asked the boy to bring him some water with a dirty old strainer that was on the ground.

The pupil was startled, because he knew it was a request without logic. However, he could not contradict his Master and, having taken the strainer, he began to perform this absurd task. Every time he dipped the strainer into the river to bring a little water to take to his Master, he could not even take a step towards him, for there was not a drop left in the strainer. He tried and tried dozens of times but, no matter how hard he tried to run faster from the shore to his Master, the water kept passing through all the holes in the sieve and was lost on the way. Exhausted, he sat down next to the Master and said, "I can't get water with that sieve. Forgive me Master, it is impossible and I have failed in my task."

"No," replied the old man smiling, "you have not failed. Look at the strainer, now it shines, it is clean, it is as good as new. The water, seeping through its holes, has cleaned it. When you read books," continued the old Master, "you are like a sieve and they are like river water. It does not matter if you cannot keep in your memory all the water they let flow through you, because books, however, with their ideas, emotions, feelings, knowledge, the truth you will find between their pages, will cleanse your mind and spirit and make you a better and renewed person. This is the purpose of reading."

Vol 4 Ultimate Intimacy: Wholeness Inspired by the Enlivening Force of Eros
Mar
Vs1. 230604

First draft of a new view on
Conscious Interconnection Volume 4

Ultimate Intimacy: Wholeness Inspired by the Enlivening Force of Eros

Part 1
A psycho-spiritual vision on adding the 'superposition' of fully Alive Presence to personal Pleasure, Pain and Protection

Part 2
A participatory approach to going from unconsciously sensing our collective fragmentational Distress into the innermost depths of united collective Consciousness

Foreword

Eros is Life Force
It can't be proven
It is here
There
And everywhere

It is around us and permeates us
There is no escape from its boundlessness
We can try to repress and deny it
But then it will just shapeshift
Into a thing of lesser beauty

To Live fully Alive
I open myself
As far as I can
To Eros
To Life

Means being practical and clair-sentient
Means allowing for ultimate intimacy
With me as my shell and as my inner Self
With the Sacred
With the World and Cosmos

The cost is high
What is being given is pure abundance
Experiences of beauty beyond words
Only able to be spoken of in tears
And an occasional poem

For me it is easier to be intimate with the Sacred
To Be in my Sacred Garden
Fully held by my Muse
Pricked and prompted by Her
Fluidly filled by Her continously

A stubborn part of me
Also wants to be together with a man in a joint Garden
Sharing our Wholeness
Our Beauty
Sharing the delight of Eros flowing through us fully

I thought this fourth book spoken from the ITS-quadrant
Would be about systems
The aspect of Life I least understand
Now I feel this last volume is about my Longing
For the Ultimate Intimacy of Wholeness:

The fullest openness, presence, contact and momentum possible in the moment
In as much togetherness as I can allow
With as much Aliveness and Unique Seamlessness I dare to move into
Inviting in the greatest Enthusiasm my Heart can hold
Inviting you in too

Much Love

Introduction

In general I am a generalist and work eclectic. I have a fairly free access to both my verbal and rationality supporting brain parts and my imaging and holistic brain parts.

The professional context of my work is mainly formed by my (participatory) studies in psychology since I was nearly 18: clinical psychology, social psychology, philosophical anthropology, post traumatic stress disorder, treatment of cancer patients, hypnotherapy, evolutionary psychology, intergenerational and collective trauma, the emergence of different qualities of we-spaces, the integration and combination of left and right brain hemispheres, the nervus vagus states, etc.

My educational base has been to enjoy doing four STEM topics in highschool and learning five languages over time, speaking them in different degrees of proficiency during my vacations and travels. My favorite topic in highschool was biology and I almost became a medical doctor. Instead I chose to study psychology and worked for 28 years as a therapist with 1800 clients in the first line (secondary prevention and psychosomatics) and later in the second line (early childhood trauma and the amygdala-neocortex connection).

The framework of this book series is based in the four quadrants presented in the Integral Theory of Ken Wilber created by combining the inside and outside with the individual and collective. Although these four archetypal quadrants areco-arising in every moment and basically inseparable, I use each of the four quadrants as a starting point for talking about the necessity of Conscious Interconnection (WITH everything) and Living fully Alive. Basically it is about different kinds of intimacy seen from different 'corners of perception'. This last book in the series dares to move into the realm of Ultimate Intimacy as I seefeel it.

Becoming the BeLoved

Vedic Yoga is about
Seer Seen Seeing
Becoming One
Becoming Seamless Wholeness

To me my Quest for unveiling my innate Wholeness definitely includes going into the Underworld. My mother did not come after me. She avoided the Underworld like hell. I did not actually 'know' it was the Underworld until recently. Until I followed my daughter there, trying to save her from the clutches of Death but realising I would not be able to do so. Only Grace could and did. I am so grateful.

Meanwhile I am revisiting the Underworld again. Following an unknown allurement. Wanting to know Wholeness fully. Light and dark and warts and getting lost and all.

Lost


Something let me go
I am not sure I wanted to loose

I feel naked without it
Disoriented

It leaves an emptiness
A lost without found

Today someone said
"Let it go and see how it returns

Allow it to find you again
Whispering your new name"

Mar
200426

The gap between the lost and found
The quiet listening for the new name
The New Rose
The next unfolding
Can appear to be very long

Reading a quote about the Underworld for women today I doubly realise it is about getting lost AND losing something or someone. About returning stronger by going into the underworld in a perilous quest for a true BeLoved, meeting some pseudo-lovers in the process too of course, sometimes getting enchanted and glamourised, abducted or held prisoner for a while.

All in order to find the fullest discernment possible.
To know how to Be with a Lover, Be with Love and Be Love fully.
For the longest time I am only discerning better 'what it is not'. What is not 'it'.

In the underworld seeing the visible is not the main mastery. Mastery is in using and combining all senses. Subtle senses and the five physical senses. Seeing. Hearing. Touching. Tasting. Smelling. Intuition.
In me it resulted in being able to 'seefeel'. It is probably a form of clair-sentience. In any case it is lovely and lively.

And all of the time my main Quest in Life since I was about 12 is for a beLoved. A Man. A Whole man. A Sacred Match with my own Wholeness. A chance at Seamless Togetherness in Uniqueness.
Along the way I found my Sacred Muse and her Garden Oasis. My Big Womb, Big Heart, Big Mind, Great Inspirer. But not a full match. Only partial matches.

Creativity has always been with me. I guess that is Eros whispering through me, alluring me into a huge diversity of life long interests, temporary fascinations, curious participations. Prompting me that 'there is something worthwhile here, don't pass it by'. Strangely enough I followed this beautiful way of Eros even though few around me did. Or at least nobody talked about it. Not family. Not teachers.

To be continued
