The Sunlit Zone

To help us understand the current collective energies, I was shown an image in my mind's eye.  Pictures tell a thousand words as they say so I searched online until I found the closest match:

I found the above pic and thought bingo! Not only is it a visual match, but the words and meaning are perfect.  This image shows the five zones of ocean water, depicting the different layers according to how much sunlight each layer receives.  The top layer is the Sunlit Zone which gets the most sunlight. The Twilight Zone gets very little sunlight, while the Dark Zone at the bottom of the ocean receives no sunlight although there is some light from the creatures that swim there - and many surprisingly do!. The Abyss is the very bottom - no light, and a lot of water pressure. The Trenches refer to the cracks in the Earth's crust - trenches and canyons. Despite the total lack of light, life including starfish can be found there.

 

This very basic description of the different layers of the ocean, feels to most adequately describe the strong, contrasting energetic layers playing out globally and personally right now.  Just as all of these layers exist in the ocean, so too they exist on the world stage, and within us. They exist as non-visible, non-physical vibrational waves around us. They exist on the levels of our thoughts and emotions.

In each moment, we choose which layer of the waves to swim in. We make our choice via every thought we think. We make our choice via the daily decisions we make: the relationships we engage in, the news sources we reach and watch, the activities we participate in, the foods we eat, the work we do, the environment we spend our time in and so on.

Just as we choose which layer of the waves to spend most of our time in, that wave layer influences us the more time we spend there. This is common logic: Spend time with happy people, you're going to feel happy. Spend time with fearful people you're going to feel more fearful. If your current overall vibration is a match to that frequency layer, then that layer will heighten, intensify and expand whatever emotional story/belief/vibration you are holding. If your overall vibration isn't in alignment with a particular frequency layer, you will find it very hard to be in that particular layer and will swim like a fish up or down to some other layer where you feel more comfortable.

Right now, all these layers within us, and on the collective stage, are being lit up like a Christmas tree. Every layer is wanting our attention, and has an almost magnetic pull, drawing 'like' energies toward it.  Down in the Dark Zone and the Abyss, fear is triggering fear, violence is triggering violence, and ancient wounds are triggering ancient wounds. In those zones it feels like the end of the world is here swirling around in a whirlpool of chaos, control and madness.

On the other end of the spectrum, up in the Sunlit zone, there is a feeling of something new emerging. There is a deeper richness and more emotional connection in relationships - be they family, friends, partners, colleagues or people you barely know or don't even know. There is a deeper sense of connection with your own self. At the same time that there is a lot of density playing out on the world stage, there is simultaneously an increased feeling of lightness and consciousness being experienced all over the world that is undeniable.

The majority of people feel to be in the Twilight Zone most of the time. We divide our time between feeling good and feeling bad. We have hope then we sink into fear. We strive for the light, then get pulled down into the murky depths by some inner doubt or external event.

It seems that the darker and denser the layer, the more power it seemingly has to determine the collective focus and conversation. Yet, we can't possibly have come here to get sucked into that vortex. Nor have we come here to live in the yo-yo roller-coaster of the Twilight Zone.  For life to continue and not just continue but to evolve and thrive, we need to lift our game and swim on up to the Sunlit Zone. This isn't an indulgence to feel guilty about when so many are suffering. It is our sacred duty and responsibility to live in the Sunlit Zone whenever possible.

Now, I am the first to say that I love scuba-diving into the Abyss to collect energetic information. Just like the Ocean, there is value to be found there.  Our shadow, and all that we have swept under the carpets, is in these bottom layers. There is so much strength and healing gained from exploring these layers, yet it naturally brings up our fears. The chaos we are seeing globally is in part our collective shadow being revealed. 

A scuba diver gets their deep water gear on, explores a canyon, then heads up to the surface. The archeological excavations you encounter on deep sea dives are profound, but - for humanity anyway - it is not a place to live or swim in for too long.  It is unsustainable. Just as plants grow toward the light, so too humanity's growth is geared to heading toward the light. As much as many fear we are heading into a dark future, it is not possible at this stage of our evolution. We are seeing the darkness and violence clearer because of our light. We are experiencing our feelings more intensely, because of the light. We are experiencing uncomfortable emotional responses to the discord because of our light. The 'darkness' is thick like tar, and loud, and so it feels like it is the majority energy on the planet. However, it is not. The light that exists on this planet, and within us all, is now the predominant energy and it will prevail. In the meantime it will also continue to expose and reveal all that lies in the bottom shadow layers, and thus continue to challenge us with how confronting that looks and feels.

If we have one fault, it is our tendency to so easily get sucked down into the bottom layers and live from those spaces as if they are our 'real' and ruling reality. This not only does not serve us, but we do not serve those layers by living down there.  I am not advocating to stick our heads in the sand. If anything, being in the Twilight Zone and Dark Zone of focusing so much on the 'darkness' and the 'fear' (consciously speaking, not referring to our beautiful ocean), is akin to sticking our heads in the sand. We cannot see clearly from those layers where fear, doubt, worry, violence, chaos and control rule the roost. From the Sunlit Zone we can see and listen clearly, we can act ethically and powerfully.

From this space, we can smile at someone who looks different, or dresses differently, or has different lifestyle choices, instead of hurling abuse. We can switch off from news that 'feels' like blatant disinformation or fear-mongering. We can do as much good as we can, in any way we can, when we can.


Think from the Sunlit Zone. Act from the Sunlit Zone. Visualise from the Sunlit Zone.


Onward!


Love Dana

I’m so glad Kauilapele posted this morning, “Enough Already!!!!!”, and said Jean Haines did similarly. (I haven’t read Jean’s yet.)

Things are definitely “off”, these days. People are feeling various
emotions to a great degree that are perhaps uncharacteristic. Some of us
are being sorely tested physically, emotionally, mentally spiritually,
financially, and every other way.

As I’ve said, I have no fuse at the moment, people are pushing my
buttons and I just want the world to stop and let me off. I’ve had
enough.

There isn’t much news worth sharing, it’s mostly negative,
discernment is being tested big time, and things feel different—yet the
same old broken records keep playing; the channeled messages with their
chin-up cheerleading, the financial insiders with their “any day now”
chants… now friendly ETs are the bad guys—I’m uncomfortably numb.

12th – 13th May 2014: Opening the Door to the Full Moon: 
Healing Our Deepest Wounds ~ by Sarah Varcas

 "As we approach Wednesday’s Scorpio Full Moon and distance ourselves from the recent Sun/Saturn opposition we can best use this time to consider where in life we are skimming the surface in order to avoid the apparent darkness of depths we would prefer were not there. This is not an exercise in misery or some kind of morbid masochism but a gentle coaxing of our attention to the places where it does not naturally rest, for in doing so we expand the boundaries of our field of acceptance and soften a little more the rigidity which ego demands in order to stay safe and in control.

Think of it as tending to a painful wound. We don’t bash it with a mallet to make it better. We bathe it in soothing warm water. We perhaps apply herbs or creams to ease the pain and promote healing. We dress it carefully to protect it from the outside world until it is more able to cope with its challenges again. If the wound is deep cleaning it may hurt more than we would like. We may pull our injured limb away, only to know that we must surrender it once more for treatment in order for it to heal. Eventually we look back and recall the injury and the pain, but we look now at fresh skin and a healed wound. We are grateful that Mother Nature has had her way and we are whole again.

It is this wholeness towards which nature points us at all times. Our vital life force, which energises our every cell, seeks balance and healing in each moment. If we play our part Mother Nature plays hers many fold. But if we refuse to engage, pull away, deny or ignore, she cannot fulfil her mission to heal but is instead left trying to keep us in balance when we won’t play the game ourselves. And, given we are as much a part of our Mother as we are her child, we are left fragmented and drained rather than energised and whole.

A Full Moon in Scorpio shines its light in the darkest places, encouraging us to peer in and see what’s there, even if only for a moment. So as we approach the coming Full Moon we can invite it in rather than dread its arrival, prepare a place at the table and plan for it to stay a while. In so doing we are holding out the wound we’ve been trying to avoid dealing with and asking for a healing balm to be applied. If the wound is deep it may hurt at the cleaning stage. I can’t deny that. But this is the pain of progress, of increasing consciousness, of the growth of wisdom. It is the pain that says something is now happening which will bring you to wholeness in due course. It is a different pain to the one which says ‘go too deep here and you’ll never return’: the pain of fear, denial, of living a half life because so much is banished to the shadows.

Just as the power of the collective is becoming increasingly obvious as we journey into the Aquarian Age, so too is the power of collective unconsciousness to which we contribute when we deny our own wounds and refuse to embrace our own darkness. We always have a choice, of course, as to which we align ourselves with, but if we are to bring the burgeoning astrological age to the most positive fruition we must choose consciousness all the way and expose our wounds, whilst surrounding them with love, for the healing power of the universe to do what it does best.

Here’s wishing everyone a gentle and healing week."
