The Corona Virus a Threat or a Treat? Part three

Veerle de Bock

How can we expand our awareness to reach beyond our day-to-day reality and access a huge hidden potential which has always existed outside time and space? 

It is fascinating to witness what is happening to us and around us in this moment. The corona outbreak unfolds globally and affects countries and people without any exclusion. This creates a web of fear that is fed by many of us and related to a whole variety of reasons. These reasons are the effects of the infection and the effects of all the measures taken worldwide in attempts to limit the spreading of the virus.

What does the infection mean for you personally, for your loved ones, for the ones you rely on for your daily needs? Are you afraid to die through the infection?

How is your life affected by the measures around the outbreak? How much authority do you give to fear? Fear has no power or effect on itself, it receives power over us by the energy we individually and collectively give it.

In this series of articles, we meet the fear and the Corona Virus and all that comes with it by playing the ChancesToChange board game. We even dare to assume that the Corona virus might be our chance to change!

Let’s start with summarizing.

What did we discover so far

The first article gently starts by inviting us to centre and to listen to our body and its innate wisdom. We realise that our body might welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest. The article brings us the awareness of unity consciousness and of the fact that the Corona virus is a form of consciousness belonging to unity consciousness just like you and me. Unity consciousness is an aspect of being human and points to the fact that all our thoughts, feelings and actions affect all the consciousness around us and that we in turn are affected by all the consciousness in the universe.

The second article brings us in direct contact with the Corona virus as it speaks to us through the collective field. Many of us would name that channeling. We will further elaborate on this in this article. The Corona virus shares some pretty amazing content around who and what it is and how it serves the evolutionary purpose of all life! The blue card of movement reminds us how all our choices affect the health of the earth and all life on it. How there is freedom when choices are not based on fear. The second article completed with a great deal of interesting and intriguing questions and there are more questions arising.

How can we have new experiences related with the outbreak of the Corona virus not based upon the imprints in the collective field but on the essence of the collective field? How can we live our lives to the fullest and bring in as much of our totality of our self as possible?

What are the major players in the ChancesToChange board game that enable us to accomplish this.

The major players in the board game

As the image of one of the yellow cards of the game shows, we all have some major players in our life.

Lets have a look at all the main players. Our body (1) provides us as a human being with processes and symptoms related to our experience of what is happening to us and around us. This is absolutely true in this moment. Our body is our most intimate partner in this adventure of being human. Our body partners with our soul (2). Our soul converts all our experiences into consciousness and is the bridge between us as spiritual beings and us as human beings. Our soul has a script of those experiences it wants to have in this lifetime. Maybe the Corona virus outbreak is part of our soul’s script! Our experiences happen in the collective field (3), another major player. The collective field is our playground. We can endlessly repeat our old stories, or we can make changes and write new stories. It is the archive of humanity. The next player is our mind (4) which arises through an interaction between the energy of the collective field, our body and our soul. Our mind processes all the information and energy that comes to us. Our mind is an amazing processor and if disconnected from our body and soul it can become quite a challenge to live our life to the fullest and cope with what is happening to us and around us. Our mind informs another player which is our personality (5), made up of aspects and facets which are constantly changing through experiencing. The Corona virus outbreak strongly affects the roles, titles and identifications our personality has gathered throughout our lives. 

The last major player is silence (6). Silence is a place of rest and a moment of connection with our inner self. Each time we listen in the game we bring our awareness to our centre. We listen from within to source, to our body, to the collective field. The Corona virus outbreak brings a great deal of silence back into our lives.

Are you ready to continue? Remember how the virus can only give its offerings outside time and space. What is outside time and space? How do we get there? We move on to the next section, to the possibility to acknowledge the existence of dimensions and to even travel through them.

The existence of different dimensions

Let’s first see what a dimension is. A dimension is a means of organizing different planes of existence according to their vibratory rate. Each dimension has certain sets of laws and principles that are specific to the frequency of that dimension. A dimension with a higher frequency embraces and permeates the dimensions with lower frequencies. You see the earth-bound dimensions on the picture. We are particularly interested in the third and fourth dimension. The third dimension is our day-to-day reality with its definitions of time and space. It is a fascinating plane of existence where we can organise our self and live together. It does obey the laws of Newton. The fourth dimension follows the sets of laws and principles of quantum mechanics and is a portal into the collective field (3). The fourth dimension embraces and permeates the third dimension. You see how our body (1) and the earth easily connect with all four dimensions and you also can see how our inner channel (2) can function as a highway between the different dimensions. This inner channel is our intention, the channel grounds our soul into the earth and keeps our soul connected to the spiritual world to carry forth its purpose.

It is important to expand our self into an awareness of the fourth dimension and still function in the third dimension in our day-to-day reality. By playing we easily access the higher vibrational level of the fourth dimension. This happens each time one of the players throws a purple, a yellow or a red dot. These are the turns where we listen. In the listening we centre and align with our body and soul. We bridge from our day-to-day awareness of our mind and connect it with our body and soul. Automatically we ground into the earth and are connected with the spiritual world. We discovered over the past years that we strengthen our inner channel each time we play with the ChancesToChange board game and we are able to reach a great deal more information than we normally did. This can happen through words, images, sensations or sounds or a combination of any of these.

Conclusion

We made a fascinating journey with you playing the ChancesToChange board game while the Corona virus outbreak is unfolding. The major players in the board game are of course also the major players in each of our lives. We realise that within the reality of the third dimension we have limited options to meet the corona virus. How can we welcome the corona virus as a long-awaited guest in our bodies and receive the offerings of our guest in a field that exists beyond time and space. I realise that this is double scary. Meeting the corona virus and traveling out of your known day-to-day reality. And we are invited to expand our awareness out of the comfort zone of the third dimension into the quantum field of the fourth dimension while we still fully embrace the third dimension. As if the corona virus points to a vast potential which resides out of space and time and is always present. We collectively forgot about this vast potential.

We start an “Awareness Marathon” with the ChancesToChange board game. You are all welcome whether you have played with the game or not yet, whether you have a ChancesToChange board game or not. We will explore our inner channel and learn how to expand into the magical quantum field of the fourth dimension.


All that is happening to us and around us is an amazing story, it is a fascinating journey. It is the end of time as we know it and it is a new beginning. The Corona virus is a treat in many ways, already visible and not yet visible. How the outbreak will unfold is partly known and mostly unknown.

The corona virus a threat or a treat? Part two

Veerle de Bock

What if this outbreak offers us a whole new way of being and has the possibility to create an impact on the health of the earth and all life on it?

Are you ready to continue our engagement with the Corona virus? Are you willing to consider the possibility to change the prominent story of the Corona virus?

What if the Corona virus is not a threat?

What do we take with us from the first article in this series? The possibility that the Corona virus is a long awaited guest in our house and an inner knowing that all in creation, also viruses, is consciousness and originates from the same source. 

The Corona virus outbreak causes a lot of disruption in our social life, our health and our economy, locally and globally. We know where it starts, we have no clue how it unfolds and what will happen next. There is a great deal in the unknown.

What is happening in our sourcing week with the ChancesToChange community as we play our organisation into being?

A player throws a yellow dot

The image shows you the instructions we follow this time.

In the silence we all centre, we observe and listen to what is happening to and around us. We are engaging with the collective field. In the collective field we leave imprints of what we as humanity create and have created. It also contains imprints of all our other lives, of archetypes, family and system constellations. It is a rich archive and is our playground as a human being. It is where we engage with other life forms, such as the corona virus.

Through the listening to the collective field we are able to receive information from this field.

This is what the player receives as a message from the corona virus:

“I am here with a purpose. I have been laying dormant for eons and now is the time. I am not a mutant, I am pure DNA, pure and very ancient knowledge and I come to the surface in this very precise timing.

I have been waiting, I have been observing and I have been witnessing. I have been everywhere and nowhere. I am part of a whole new way of being, a new way of doing and knowing things, whatever that might be. I am old, very very old. I have always existed and came with the first spark of life to the planet.

I exist beyond time and space and there beyond time and space I deliver my offering. Children are often able to see me, understand me and acknowledge me. I have very strong vibrations. I am lonely, I am old, even ancient and what I offer is something completely unheard of, it is something that has been hidden, asleep for a very long time.”

We are deeply touched. How does this land in you? After a pause, we continue our game.

Another player throws a blue dot

She blindly chooses a card from the deck of blue cards. She starts describing the painting on the card. She discerns the universe and also a form that could be like a virus whirling around.

When she is finished describing the painting she turns the card around and reads the text. The title of this card is “Movement” and the subtitles are determination and freedom.

She reads the text out loud: “Movement embraces action as well as acceleration, slowing down or standing still. I have a particular effect on movement within my organisation by making choices that are not based on fear. How we move has a great impact on the earth and all life on it. Movement is essential for the existence and health of the earth and all life on it.”

She reflects on the tekst: “The Corona virus outbreak certainly causes us all to slow down and to even stand still. As the lock down of cities and countries reveals.” “So many choices with regard to the Corona virus are based on fear!” “The Corona virus has a great impact on our movement and on the health of the earth and all life on it.”

Conclusion

Many of us meet the corona virus through our mind in a day-to-day reality which we perceive through our five senses. This is the so-called third dimension with its definitions of time and space and a dimension following the laws of Newton. If we live our day-to-day reality disconnected from our centre, we are not aware of the wisdom of our body and of the choices our soul has for us in this lifetime. This can easily result in us being a play ball of the imprints of the collective field constantly affecting our day-to-day reality. We create our future scenarios based upon these imprints. From this view point the Corona virus outbreak is a threat and causes a great deal of fear.

And maybe there are other possibilities. Let’s sit with a few questions:

What is possible and how can we allow a consciousness that seems to be very old and maybe even belongs to the very origins of the earth and all life on it to engage with us in a playful and even joyful way? What if there are so many other possibilities to be with this fascinating virus? What if it really has an offering for us? What if it is an offering for all of us and nobody is excluded? What if it is the precise timing and what if we are ready to receive the offering, even if we don’t know it yet? What if it is the time for a huge change, for chances to change, for quantum shifts, for new beginnings never heard of before? What if we can do it?

The ChancesToChange board game brings a new wave into the world, a new way to meet the Corona virus with joy and ease and playfulness. By playing we engage with the Corona virus, we listen to it, we open our house for it. The corona virus originates from the same source as you, as us and as all of life. All of life has an intention, an unmeasurable and indescribable force present everywhere in the universe. The corona virus also has an intention and in itself is not good or bad, it is just a life form with a purpose.

In the next article we continue our game and our exploration. How do we meet the Corona virus beyond time and space. How can we live our lives with all that constantly happens to us and around us, with all the fear in the collective field and also meet a virus beyond time and space to receive its offering.

With kind regards, Veerle

Aspects of life

Corona Virus a Threat or a Treat? Part One.

Veerle de Bock

Shapeshift a prominent story through accessing the wisdom of your body and your inner knowing. Apply ChancesToChange as a way of living.

The Corona virus is our prominent story at this moment. It affects all of us locally and globally, it also affects our sourcing gathering here in the South of France with the ChancesToChange community. ChancesToChange is a wildly original board game and exists since December 2016. The board game serves as a doorway to wake up and live your life to the fullest. Since its creation we play everything with regard to our organisation into existence.

In this article we first have a look at the prominent story of the Corona virus. Afterwards we take  you on a journey while we play the ChancesToChange board game. You receive insights in what happens when a player throws a red dot and when a player throws a blue dot.

What is the prominent story of the Corona virus?

The prominent story of the Corona virus is that it is a threat for individuals, communities, countries and the economy. The information we daily receive is about the numbers of people affected in each country, about the speed of the spreading of the infection and how it affects us globally. The Corona virus does not seem to make any difference between good or bad, colour, race, beliefs, ethnicity, wealth.

Our collective answer is a combination of actions in an attempt to try treating the symptoms of the outbreak on an individual and global level.

We try to find a vaccin against the virus or find all kind of alternative procedures to strengthen our immune system.

We try to prevent the spreading of the virus by locking down villages and cities, even locking down countries.

We fight, we protect, we separate, we are afraid.

The most important ingredient of the prominent story is fear. Fear to become ill, fear to die. Fear that our economy will suffer, fear that are lives will be disrupted.

Fear unites us globally these days and is the reason we exclude and separate our self and others to a fascinating extend. 

Playing the ChancesToChange board game and meeting the corona virus

Whatever happens to and around us always affects the game. So does the story of the Corona virus.

This article shares some of the extraordinary insights and fascinating possibilities we receive as we play. We are all somewhere on the board and we play at this moment using both dice, a numbered one and a coloured one. The numbered one allows us to move on the board and the coloured one adds specific instructions depending on the colour we throw.

A player throws a red dot

The image shows you the instructions we follow.

We go into silence and we connect with our body. We sense and we listen. Our body is wise and so much more conscious than our everyday mind. There is a sharing circle were all the players share their insights to the player who threw the red dot.

One of the reflections is: “I see how the corona virus is a guest in my house, my house being my body.  What if I welcome this guest as in Rumi’s poem the Guest House with an open heart and mind?”

Another player shares: “I see DNA and something happening inside the DNA, as if there is a bridging, I see gates.”

A player throws a blue dot

In another turn one of us throws a blue dot and is invited to choose a blue card. The card “Unity consciousness” comes to her.

She reads the card and realises how everything in the universe, all life on earth and all of us are forms of consciousness. What if the corona virus is as an aspect of consciousness and part of unity consciousness?

Conclusion

Where are you? How does this land in you?

Already a lot to sit with!

Viruses have the ability, always have been the ability to exchange their genetic material with us humans. Sequences of viral DNA incorporated in our DNA during our evolution and serve our functions. So maybe what one of the players saw when listening to her body is actually true and is what is happening. What if the Corona virus outbreak serves our evolutionary purpose?

The card of unity consciousness reminds us of our inner knowing. A knowing that all forms of consciousness in the universe may coexist, also the Corona virus and are in turn influenced by the feelings, emotions, thoughts and actions of every human being.

What if our fear ignites more fear?

We will continue to play with the ChancesToChange board game.  In the second article of this series we listen to the collective field and meet the Corona virus there.

The collective field is a rich library of humanity and very intriguing, in this field we also find all the imprints of past pandemics. Do you want to be a play ball in the collective field or a co-creator of new stories?

The ChancesToChange board game offers you insight and new perspectives on whatever happens to and around you in your life.

I would love your insights and comments on this article.

Kind regards, Veerle

A Gateway to Break Free from the Powerful Practice of Reviews!

Veerle de Bock

A Gateway to Break Free from the Powerful Practice of Reviews!

A story of your experience is what is true for you in the moment, it can be “made to stick” and reveal a unique quality of how you serve.

This blog article takes you into the world of reviews, a world that seems to control us and define our experiences.

Do you care about the reviews people write about you or your services?

Do you write reviews?

Here is how we will explore and meet this world of reviews:

  • A review of my recent experience in a restaurant
  • What makes an experience stick?
  • Is what I need also what you need?

 

A review of my recent experience in a restaurant

My experience in Bistro Heritage made me smile. This is my story or if you wish, my review.

I enjoyed the food and the wine and yet that is not really what made me experience joy. What made me leave the bistro with a smile on my face was the effect the gracious attitude of the maître had on me.

In a short period of time I noticed him spontaneously filleting a sole for one of his young customers. A little while later he passed my table and saw my puzzled look regarding the piece of rib in front of me. He gently proposed to cut it in smaller pieces for me. It was a generous offer, he did not parent me. I felt grateful and cared for. Later in the evening I witnessed how he offered another couple a glas of rosé out of a magnum bottle. He saw their own bottle was empty and their meal not yet finished.

This review shares the story of my experience. It is personal, it is unique to who and what I am. It is related to what sticks for me!

 

What makes an experience stick

There is a lot of information available on what sticks and what doesn’t stick. The Heath brothers take you on a special journey in their book “Made to Stick”  They list a series of factors that are important if you want your organisation, product or restaurant to stick:

SIMPLE-UNEXPECTED-CONCRETE-CREDIBLE-EMOTIONAL-STORY

Lets have look and match these factors with my story above.

  • It is simple, this maître sees an opening and he acts upon it.
  • It is unexpected, he got my attention.
  • It is concrete, I understood and I remembered it afterwards.
  • It is credible. I believe that this way of being is what will create a more beautiful world.
  • It is emotional, because it is about care and love for others.
  • It is a story that can be spread into the world.

This is remarkable! What if what makes us smile, sticks with us because it follows all these principles the Heath brothers mention!

What is also remarkable that many reviews are limited to one or two of these aspects.

Many relate to the emotional aspect. The mâitre was unfriendly. The personal was adorable. Or they offer concrete comments. The food was horrible. The wine was delicious.

There is already an important invitation here. What if we wrote: I perceived the mâitre as unfriendly. I felt cared for by the personal. I didn’t like the food. I loved the wine. Then we share our stories in such a way that shows that we are responsible for our own experience and for what sticks with us.

Another observation here is that reviews are not only about what makes us smile. Reviews might be more related to what we need and want. Here comes another perspective to explore!

 

Is what I need also what you need?

I found an article through TripAdvisor referencing five major qualities a maître of a restaurant should have in order to succeed. One of these qualities is on understanding customer needs. Which is more specific identifying the true needs of each client.

There might be a pitfall here. A maître could easily take his needs for yours and impose those on you. What he needs or beliefs or thinks is not always what you need, believe or think!

Let’s return to the story. How does this maître of the Bistro Heritage handle his customers needs? He does not assume he knows the needs of his customers, he waits until those needs are obvious. His intuition then seems to inform him about the right action. He gets out of the way.

What we learn here is that customers needs are related to your success. We add one more factor to the list of the brothers Heath. This factor is “service” and this makes the acronym SUCCESS complete!

Let us return to the topic of this article! How does this relate to reviews? What you need and want and share in a review is unique for you and might not be what I want and need.

 

Wrapping up

We offer more perspectives into this fascinating world of reviews, a world that affects us and guides our choices.

Reviews are always personal stories. This is part of the policies of TripAdvisor, the kingdom of reviews (…. I certify that this review is based on my own experience and is my genuine opinion…). This leads us into an important question. How reliable are reviews?

We are responsible in how we share our stories and vice versa how we read and interpret the stories of others.

Reviews are often how you attract and keep customers loyalty for your business. Maybe they are only one aspect of our success: the story!

In order to make your business stick you have a unique choice:

“Be you, be the truth of who and what you are and how you serve.”

Some people will like it and others won’t like it. You will get all kind of reviews. They are always right from the perspective of the person who wrote them and they might not be wright for you, they might even not be useful.

And what about writing reviews? You can spark joy in others if you share your personal experience aligned with the truth of who and what you are and how you serve.

If you are interested in more material that sparks joy, you can learn more about Guest House Facilitation and the ChancesToChange board game.

How to access and travel your own dimensional highway?

Veerle de Bock

In this exquisite journey on earth your soul incarnates through a soul channel. This soul channel is your highway through the different dimensions.

Let’s start with the question: in which dimension do you live in?

The picture shows us the different dimensions as described in our previous article and the three different possible positions to live in.

We can live in the third dimension (3D), the person at the left side of the picture. When we are confined to 3D, we appear to forget the access code for the other dimensions. We often believe we can only return to the spiritual world after death. We are sometimes even convinced that the human world represents hell and the higher dimensions heaven.

We can also completely live within the spiritual dimensions as the person in the middle of the picture shows. This person has accomplished what we consider enlightenment. There is however no connection left with the earth-bound dimensions and the treasures and opportunities of life as a human being.

We can also live positioned in the fourth dimension (4D), the person at the right side of the picture. We are captured in the powerful flow of consciousness which may offer us an entry into the higher vibrational levels and we might become lost in the lower vibrational levels. Within the whole continuum of vibrational levels there is the possibility of what might be called psychotic symptoms and episodes. A psychotic symptom or episode can be a channelling of a higher vibrational being, an awakening, an hallucination, a delusion or a split personality.

And between these three extremes there are endless positions available to you. How can you understand where you’re living and how can you find entries into more dimensions?

Let’s approach this step by step:

• The meaning of dimensions for a physical body.
• What is the “I” that knows?
• How is the “I” connected with your soul?
• What is your soul’s purpose?

The meaning of dimensions for a physical body

The next step on your journey with your experience of life as a human being, is the understanding that your body functions holographically within the intelligent design of the earth and all life on it. This means that your body is surrounded and permeated by the same dimensions which surround and permeate the earth. Your body can access all those same dimensions.

With their consciousness, the earth and your body contribute to the dimensions which surround them. This is a bold statement and a very important one! They ceaselessly contribute with their intelligent design to the evolutionary purpose, to the wholeness and the self-management of the bigger whole. The earth and your body are continuously affecting and being affected by the earth-bound and spiritual dimensions. So you see, the earth and your body are not simply playthings at the mercy of a powerful universe.

What is the “I” that knows?

You arrange your life through an “I am” that can take decisions, feel, think, understand, conceptualize. This is what we generally call our personality.

Your personality is the combination of characteristics that help you to manifest your self, and through which you playfully weave the tapestry of your self.

Let us weave your personality or your day-to-day “I am” into what has been discovered about the dimensions. This definition of your personality fits with the third dimension, your day-to-day reality with the possibility of weaving a very colourful tapestry.

How is your personality connected with your soul?

This is an important question and will define where you live in the dimensional picture. How big is your personality, how much of the multidimensional capacity, so to speak, can you occupy?

Your personality is a part of your mind. How do we define your mind? Let’s look at the image above on the left: the soul (blue), body (red), mind (magenta) and the collective field (yellow). There are arrows indicating the ongoing exchange between your soul, your body and the collective consciousness. You could say that the mind is a result of this exchange in energy consciousness.

As mentioned in the first section of this article, the body brings to this interaction its own consciousness and the impact of the dimensions which surround and permeate it.

The mind organises itself as an energy field permeating the body and extending far out. Through its intelligent design your mind is an amazing tool to experience life as a human being. Many traditions and healing schools call the mind, as we are defining it, the aura or the human energy field.

Your personality can become very big and encompass a great deal of your mind. Most of the time your personality is only a part of your mind – it is the day-to-day aspect of your mind. However, your personality can become very big and occupy much of your mind. When you return to the picture above at the right side, you can see that your personality is in constant interaction with the collective field.

There is a strong connection between your mind and your soul. Your soul is an immortal aspect of you. Your soul is a record of all your feelings, emotions and actions throughout your entire life and all of your other life experiences.

What is your soul’s purpose?

The picture above on the left shows you the triad card of the ChancesToChange board game representing your soul, your biological family and the spiritual world. Bringing your attention to the soul and its channel, you can see a representation of this channel as a blue vertical column (the picture above).

Your soul comes with an agenda, a script of what you desire to experience in this incarnation. This script is your soul’s purpose. The channel of the soul is your intention to come and live your life to the fullest, to fulfil your soul’s purpose. The channel grounds your soul into the earth and keeps your soul connected to the spiritual world. The picture above shows how this channel surrounds your body and connects you to all the dimensions.

Your soul channel is the answer to the question of how to access different dimensions. This solution is always available to you in your life as a human being.

Conclusion

What an extraordinary journey your life on earth is as a spiritual being!

This article brings light to your multidimensional perspective. Everyone has the possibility to choose to become a multidimensional being. What an insight!

A powerful statement to be with: “I am aware that I am the highest possible expression of the totality of who I am and who I can become through my capacity to experience multiple levels and dimensions.”

The next series of articles describes how the ChancesToChange board game assists you to experience and visit these different dimensions through your own inner highway, your soul channel.

How can you access your soul channel and start your journey? By listening!

We will start the “art of listening” by listening to the collective consciousness.

Dear ones stay connected and please engage and comment.
Warm regards, Veerle

Life as a Human Being: The Structure of our Playground!

Veerle de Bock

The flow of consciousness organises itself in a magnificent structure to serve you as a human being and offer you the possibility to experience and integrate.

You embark on this fascinating exploration with a card from the ChancesToChange board game. This card describes the triad between soul, biological family and your spiritual family.

Your soul is an immortal aspect of you. Your soul is a record of all your feelings, emotions and actions throughout your entire life and all of your other life experiences. Your biological family is your parents, their parents, your ancestors and any children you may have. The spiritual world is part of the unseen reality of life through the universe and the galaxies. It is inhabited by spirits that have different gradations of light and darkness just as it is on earth.

This article sits with the important and challenging question: How can you weave those three aspects throughout your life as a human being?

To help your understanding of this fascinating question, the content of this article has been set out in four sections:

  • What do you need to experience life as a human being?
  • How does the playground look?
  • A close-up of the earth-bound dimensions.
  • A close-up of the 4th

 

What do you need to experience life as a human being?

You definitely need a planet to live on and a body to partner with. You also need a playground with boundaries in space and time to allow you to experience and fully live your life as a human being.

The starting point of all this is the flow of consciousness organizing itself into a structure that enables you, as a spiritual being, to experience what it is to be human.

Consciousness is the fabric of everything. Out of consciousness all else is created and everything returns to the source of consciousness.

Consciousness begins to create the intelligent design of the earth and all life on it. As you have heard in many creation myths or origin stories which can be found in religions and indigenous cultures. Our bodies are an integral part of this intelligent design of the earth. All that consciousness creates also has its own part of consciousness contained in it. This enables a further unfolding of the evolutionary purpose after its creation.

 

How does the playground look?

A dimension is a means of organizing different planes of existence according to their vibratory rate. Each dimension has certain sets of laws and principles that are specific to the frequency of that dimension. Inhabitants of each dimension have a different perception of what happens in the universe and in other dimensions.

As you can see above some dimensions are more related to the earth and some dimensions are more related to the spiritual spheres.

In order for us to have the fullness of our experience as a human being we ideally need access to as many dimensions as possible and to be able to travel between them. This is what it means to be and become a multidimensional being.

 

A close up of the earth-bound dimensions.

The picture offers you a closer look at the earth-bound dimensions:

  • The first dimension (1D) is the deep core of the earth.
  • The second dimension (2D) is covering the core and extending to the surface of the earth.
  • The third dimension (3D) extends from the surface of earth. The 3D reality is bound through time and space. This is what gives you your day-to-day life which you perceive through your five senses.
  • The fourth dimension (4D) is also an earth-bound dimension. It is your portal into the collective consciousness and offers access to levels which have a higher vibration.

 

A close-up of the fourth dimension.

If you look at the image, you can discern a barrier (a yellow line) between the existing dimensions of the spiritual world and the dimensions related to the earth. It is not really a barrier, the fourth dimension functions as a diaphragm.

Energy beams (the dark blue arrows) hit the outer border and fracture into two different beams (the light blue arrows). One beam returns to the spiritual dimensions and one enters 4D. This enables a natural protection of the earth from the powerful energy beams of the higher dimensions, which are partly reflected back to their origin.

As the beam (light blue arrow) continues its journey through the levels of 4D and arrives at the interface with 3D, the beam fractures again into two beams (the orange arrows). These beams travel back into 4D and into 3D respectively. Along their journey they fracture into opposites (the yellow small arrows). Opposites spread through 3D and 4D, creating duality.

 

Conclusion

Let’s summarise.

We have earth and all life on earth. We have bodies belonging to this intelligent design and we have a playground with duality as a fascinating ingredient.

We have a biological family that belongs to the earth-bound dimensions and our ancestors who spread their lineage out into the spiritual realms.

Our spiritual family inhabits different spheres in the spiritual dimensions and also in the earth-bound dimensions.

It seems as if the dimensions are separate from each other although in fact they permeate each other.

This article offers you a glimpse of the fascinating structure which consciousness creates for you as a spiritual being to play, experiment and experience. The ChancesToChange board game is an exquisite guide on your path and can become a bridge for you to visit different dimensions.

Aspects of life

Experiencing the life pulse as an Infintity Symbol

Veerle de Bock

EXPERIENCING THE LIFE PULSE AS AN INFINITY SYMBOL.

Combine the cosmic principle of expansion, stillness and contraction with individuality and connectedness, potential and resilience.

 

How can we bring the genius potential in each other into being?

The answer is remembering this fabulous cosmic principle of the life pulse that exists in every living being and group being.

What are the crucial ingredients of this magical infinity symbol?

  • A pulsating potential
  • A safe space
  • Connectedness and individuality
  • Resilience and vulnerability

 

A pulsating potential

The life pulse is a cosmic principle that governs all of life in the Universe. It is pulsating and endless moving. It has three aspects, which are expansion, stillness and contraction. They follow each other, are intrinsically connected, one cannot without the other.

dia15An easy way to connect with the cosmic principle of the life pulse is silence. Bringing our attention to the stillness, the purple in our image, in the middle in the bottom area. This is the arriving out of the muchness of our current life circumstances, with all that happens to us and around us.

In this fascinating silence nothing happens and yet everything happens.

If you wish you can experience this silence in this moment.

The stillness is the gathering of momentum for the next phase of the life pulse.

dia16The purple arrow shows how you move from the stillness into contraction (green on our image). It is an inward movement where you transform the outer potential offered through the exploitation into inner potential through nourishment, consolidation and integration. The wave continues and invites us to let go, which feels like a letting go of inner potential in order to achieve outer potential. We let go to create space.

At the end of the contraction, we move into another moment of stillness (the purple on top in the middle). This is the silence in which we listen to guidance.

What is the next step in our life, in our organization, our projects?

The expansion is a moving outward, towards the other (orange on our image). What wants to be given birth to in the free space created through the letting go? The potential balances towards outer potential as newness is brought into the world. It is the pioneering. Expansion continues and makes a crucial turn towards exploitation, as you can see this is again accompanied by a movement from outer into inner potential.

We have an ongoing wave, we reach again stillness in order to be leaded into stabilization, integration and consolidation. The potential that is touched into has to be integrated.

 

A safe space

The virtual safe space is created energetically through the endless sign. As if the sacred geometry of this sign holds you. The geometry trusts that you have the answers for your own questions and challenges.

The safety has the form of an ongoing wave always originating and always returning to the vastness of stillness.

Even if we loose track of the wave, it is there when we return, reminding us of its different aspects. The safety resides within the different aspects of the life pulse. The gentle stabilization and consolidation secures the potential after its movement through exploitation and offers nourishment. The letting go or dying is securing the safety of the whole. The emerging future in the expansion harbors the safety of growth and the application into the world.

 

Connectedness and individuality

The sacredness of the life pulse as an infinity symbol lays in the uniqueness of each living being and process and the connectedness of all living beings and living processes.

The individuality shows itself in the releasing; the letting go is an act that moves a living process or a living being from individuality into connectedness . This connectedness is needed in order for the pioneering, the reorganization to be able to unfold.

dia17

 

When fresh ideas or new aspects of the Self arise, the next step is the exploitation, the bringing it into fruition into the world.

For this step we need connectedness. We dance between both, it is an and/and and not an either/or though in a wave mode, moving from one to the other. The consolidation and integration is an individual act.

 

Resilience and vulnerability

Another interesting aspect of the life pulse representing itself as an infinity symbol is the movement between vulnerability and resilience.

dia19

There are two specific moments in the wave that we balance towards vulnerability. The first moment is when we move inward in order to stabilize and consolidate; the second moment is when we move into the reorganization, the pioneering. Vulnerability is important and is daring greatly.

We are resilient when we accomplish a letting-go, a release of what we no longer need. We are equally resilient when we bring our pioneering into exploitation.

Resilience is our ability to recover after difficult situations.

 

CONCLUSION

This view on the life pulse reveals how it is intricately interwoven with all living processes and all living beings. It is so fascinating and awesome. It brings light into all the natural phenomena and helps us to open up for the field of endless possibilities.

We often forget how genius and exhilarating we are.

This amazing pulsating infinity symbol opens doors and windows.

We need courage and commitment to bring this awareness of the life pulse back into our lives and to play with the different aspects without rigidifying the whole process through control.

Each individual has an evolutionary purpose. The question for each participant is: What is my calling to be here? What do I need, what is my longing? What is my offering? And always connected with how can I bring that into the world, my organizations, my life?

The life pulse as cosmic principle is extensively described in the pathwork lectures (channelings by Eva Pierrakos: www.pathwork.org) the infinity symbol comes from the elaborate work of the Resiliance Alliance, a group of leading organizations and individuals involved in ecological and economic research around the world. The book: Panarchy. Understanding Transformation in Human and Natural Systems edited by Lance H. Gunderson. C.S. Holling.

The life pulse is an inherent aspect of the practice of Guest House Facilitation. You can read more about this magnificent practice here on this website ChancesToChange or you can contact me.

Aspects of life

A Constellation Reallocates Normal Human Needs.

Veerle de Bock

A Constellation Reallocates Normal Human Needs.

 

It is normal and human to have needs. Growth is learning to own our needs and find appropriate strategies to meet them. This process releases our inner child from a huge burden.

 

This is the question of a courageous articulate young woman, ready to bring her unique bright essence and purpose into the world.

How can I have a relationship and not loose my self?

She explains: “It seems that often in a relationship a younger part of me occupies the stage of my life and requires a great deal of attention.”

These are the steps in our constellation:

  • Painting the scenery.
  • Bringing consciousness into the entanglement
  • What do we need to bring in?
  • Completing the constellation

 

Painting the scenery

The case giver decides to set up representatives for her self, her mother, her father and her young self.

Costellations_1

 

 

When she places the representatives in the space, she sees how a triangle is formed between the father, self and young self. Mother is not included.

You can see the first scenes on the cartoon.

 

Costellations_2Costellations_3 

 

 

 

 

 

Bringing consciousness into the entanglement

When the facilitator asks the father to face his wife. He faces his daughter. This shows how a switching of roles happened. When the facilitator shares this observation with the case giver, it becomes apparent that this situation feels comfortable for her, she does not intend to exchange her place with her mother.

The cartoon shows the next phases:

Costellations_4 Costellations_5

The parents are in a conflict relationship and from that place both reach out to their daughter to get their needs met. Young self wants to escape the scenery, things shift when she is held in the triangle. We arrive back at our start point. We need something else.

 

What do we need to bring in?

If we bring the focus on what self wants, this can change the entanglement.

We bring in the consciousness of a passionate job.

Costellations_6 Costellations_7

 

This is the point in the constellation where you bring in order.

Self cannot trust her passion, a job she really wants to do unless she gets out of the entanglement. Self is invited to address her parents and acknowledge that she got life from her father and her mother and that she is willing to take it to the fullest, with all that comes with it.

 

Completing the constellation 

The case giver takes her place in the constellation, in order to have an embodied experience. She needs to acknowledge her father and her mother and the place of her mother next to her father.

This often creates resistance in a case giver. Even if a pattern is not healthy, we are used to is and it is scary to choose for the unknown.

She connects with her young self and admits that she never learned how to address her needs for contact, companionship, partnership and love.

 

CONCLUSION

When you are born in a family where your parents never learned how to care for their needs, you become the parent at a young age. Your inner child is trying to cope with this situation and to make sure your needs are fulfilled.

She does that from the perspective of her age and that can easily destroy your adult relationships.

There is nothing wrong with this inner child, it is not her task to look for your needs. If you as the adult grown up take back the responsibility to care for your needs she can be the young you again, with her joy and playfulness, her tenderness and warmth.

If you wait for your parents to grow up, you stay caught into an entanglement. The only way is to accept them as they are and acknowledge that life comes from them with all that this means and that you are willing to take it to the fullest.

Aspects of life

Back Pain Speaks to “Self” through a Family Constellation.

Veerle de Bock

Back Pain Speaks to “Self” through a Family Constellation.

Ancestral consciousness can assist our body to represent the conflicts, which we need in order to fulfil our soul’s purpose.

 

This is the story of an amazing young man, with a wonderful set of skills and accomplishments, with great possibilities to succeed in life and yet contained through a huge back pain since the age of 14.

What is his back trying to tell him?

We sit in a devoted group who is ready to delve deep into the constellation work in order to bring clarity to personal processes and through these into the world.

  • Getting to know the current issue
  • Setting up the representatives
  • The unfolding of the process
  • The climax of the constellation

 

Getting to know the current issue

You start the constellation with an interview, the case giver is invited to speak from the “I” perspective, to share the current situation and to describe the different stakeholders. It is good to invite the case giver to share his intention with regard to the outcome of the constellation. How does he want to be after this session?

Our case giver has a back problem, which started at the age of 14. At this age his parents divorced after having been living apart for several years. The divorce inflicted important financial problems on his mother. The case giver feels he has to protect his mother and behave perfectly.

Recently his back pain increased and now is also radiating towards his shoulders, blocking his ability to live his life to its fullest potential.

His intention is to understand how his back is serving him.

 

Setting up the representatives.

Images_18The facilitator proposes to set up the primary family system: the mother, the father and the self. She intuitively suggests to also represent the grandmother on the father’s side.

The first view of the positioning shows that there is no contact between self and his father and grandmother

The mother is in search of something that seems to be on the ground and is wondering why nobody takes note of this. A pillow is brought in to represent this so-called “secret”.

The grandmother hides something. A representative is chosen to be a body, which is lying on the floor, probably someone who died.

 

The unfolding of the process

It becomes quickly obvious that there is a secret that the mother is obliged to hold in order to protect her son. This secret does not belong to the mother it belongs to the father.

This secret however cannot return to the father. The only journey the secret can take is through the son.

It takes a while for the self to be able to receive the secret from his mother. It is very painful without knowing what it is he receives. Huge terror is created in self. The back pain in self increases.

Self reaches out to his father to help him.

 

The climax of the constellation

Images_19Something happened in the past with the father. His mother, the grandmother protected her son and kept this secret hidden for the outside world. In one or another way this secret was transferred to her daughter-in-law. The father cannot own this trauma and even in the constellation is unable to look at it, accept it, process it.

His son has to take it and he needs to acknowledge and accept that life comes from his father and from his mother with all that belongs to it.

 

 

CONCLUSION  

We have amazing intelligent physical bodies, they are our most intimate partners in this life. When there is a physical problem a constellation can reveal its ancestral consciousness with its underlying beliefs and constructs.

Ancestral consciousness in this constellation is a secret, which creates a distortion in the field. The need to protect somebody is very present in this constellation. The case giver mentions in the interview the urge to protect his mother, in the constellation there is a huge need for protection from the grandmother towards her son and from the mother towards her son.

It is important for the case giver to bring all the representatives into his inner being. The constellation is a mirror, a reflection of what happens inside. The secret, entanglement, construct or pattern from the past only serves to teach the self.

The back pain can heal when time is ready and the teachings are integrated.

Aspects of life

A Family Constellation dispels the powerful force of Wetiko.

Veerle de Bock

Embody this power of evil within you, be willing to receive all that it means including the ability to destroy. Allow this force to swipe through your defences.

 

We met with a committed group of people wanting to learn how to bring more awareness into the world. We invited from the very first moment that what is happening around us in the world into our circle.

What unfolded was a confrontation with the evil that exists around us and within us. I use the name wetiko, which means somebody who terrorizes others through evil acts.

This is the story of the constellation.

  • The case giver shares her current situation.
  • Different snapshots of the constellation.
  • The case giver rejects what is revealed.
  • Wetiko moves through the facilitator.

 

The case giver shares her current situation.

“I am creating a website in order to bring into the world my passion and vision and so far it does not attract any clients or money.”

“I block my passion.”

“I need to resign to power, if I engage with power, I crush or destroy.”

“I need to stay small in order to be safe, to belong. I project my power upon somebody else in order to not have to own it.”

“There is a cage inside of me where I hold back my life force.”

 

Different snapshots of the constellation.

constellations art1a

The case giver chooses a representative for her website, the client, money, the cage and her self.

Self is totally disconnected from money, and triggered by the client. Self does not want to take action, she is happy with her website and her cage.

When money moves through the constellation and joins the website, it becomes clear that the website does not serve the client.

More changes happen: Self is no longer connected with her website, she is connected with her cage.

The constellation is stuck. The facilitator proposes to bring in a new representative for frustration. Frustration is a distorted form of life force and it helps to move things.

 

 

The case giver rejects what is revealed.

The facilitator invites the case giver to look at the constellation. Self only wants her cage. Self reveals a huge resistance to let go of the safety of her cage, to own her power and life force. Her website is not meant to attract clients.

The case giver cannot accept what she sees and disconnects.

There is beauty and precise order in this act of the case giver in this moment. She disconnects from the whole scenery. It is crucial in this phase that the case giver is authentic and does not give in and stays with what is present for her, which is a clear “no”.

 

 

Wetiko moves through the facilitator.

Constellations art1bShortly after this disconnection happening through the case giver the facilitator points out to the case giver how she projects her power outside of herself on the facilitator. The case giver stays disconnected.

The facilitator allows this projected power to move through her, she experiences nausea and then completely faints.

Each time she tries to get up and take the lead again, she faints again. The beauty is that she needs to completely let go of control, she expresses how she feels a burning happening inside of her around her solar plexus.

This burning causes intense pain. The pain releases when one participant says: “I accept and own my inner darkness.”

Several of the participants repeat this sentence.

 

 

CONCLUSION

We creatively and multidimensionally shaped a constellation where the evil force moved through the facilitator and the group body.

What are the elements, which created the work done in this constellation?

The tool of projection enabled the case giver to project her power upon the facilitator and allowed the projection to land within the facilitator.

The case giver stayed authentic with her “no” and chooses to stay disconnected and separate.

The facilitator was deeply connected with the needs of the work in the moment.

The group body was able to stay present, embody the need to own their inner darkness and create a safe container for the work.

You and I, we all have a role in that which is happening around us. We often play out this part of us that does not want to be responsible, cannot be responsible and disconnects from what is happening around us. This gives evil a possibility to move on, to possess us and to act itself out in the world.

Evil is a creative force and when you do not attach, when you are able to completely surrender and become a vehicle for it, it cleanses and swipes your defences away for you, dissolve any place where a projection from outside can hook inside of you. You reach a new level of vulnerability and openness.

We need both these days. It is not up to one of us to be burned by wetiko, it is up to all of us to own and accept our inner darkness. We all have to be willing to die at the cross to save ourselves and each other.

Paul Levy wrote a magnificent book Dispelling Wetiko to learn more about breaking the curse of evil.

 

I look forward to your comments.
