IMBOLC Seminar
Sunday, 1st February
Online - 7:00pm - 10:30pm
Friends,
We will explore the darkness of the lie of ignorance and the movement of our awareness to that which leads us to the memory light, truth, hope and Joy. It’s a conscious movement that we witness in the becoming impulse of every IMBOLC, every year.
Its manifestation is evidenced by the arrival of the beautiful Snow flower. The promise of growth and renewal is heralded.
In the Grail stories when Arthur drinks from the cup of the Grail all is renewed, he remembers the secret of the Grail that he had forgotten. He was freed from the lie of ignorance and he and the land became one.
Let us examine the Ancient Druid Wisdom from the perspective of the New Mysteries of Hibernia.
The movement in nature through its seasons is an image of the movement of consciousness through its own being, all reflected in the experience of itself as Mother Nature, and Mother Earth. Here at the Omega point of the evolution of consciousness within its own creation the Seers of Hibernia mapped out according to their location on the Earth, the dance within the cauldron of physical existence that is wanting to facilitate the birthing within itself of a being that’s capable of becoming the Love that all creation is born from.
Now we have the power of the number 4, the 4 seasons, elements, directions. All coming together in the circle and cross as the medicine wheel of the human being, the 4 intentions. This brings us the science of relationship teaching and the unfolding of the art of becoming. We awaken to the secret of what's called Bridget's cross, which when placed on the cross of karma awakens humanity's destiny as captured in the Celtic cross.
Here the cross of suffering is turned into a cross of joy, hope, truth and light. It says we do not suffer because of our physical incarnation, but because of how we seek ourselves within it. To find the true way of the human being as shown by Christ is the key. That is to connect now with one's Spiritual Ancestry, to the remembering that one is born out of the Eternal flame of love.
What did Arthur receive from the Grail cup that raised him from his resignation, that freed him from the lie of ignorance? What is it that awakened the blue Pearl, the Ganesh, the pineal at the centre of the mind, surrounded by the 12 pairs of cranial nerves, in the place of the skull?
Here the White Stag initiation emerges from the inside out, from within us through our own I consciousness. The truth that love became us, the who of us, the why of us. What is it that can bring “New Life” to Humanity now at this time of the disintegration of the Old ( Adam ) human way?
It’s the secret of “Spring”, the eternal flowering process, the budding of the desire to grow and become. The secret of IMBOLC, that the human being has evolved within matter/nature to serve the purpose of its existence. We as self-reflective beings must, in order to grow and evolve, embrace this spiritual intent behind the movement and cycles of nature.
That intent is sacrificial-meaning sacred; the secret is that nature exists to facilitate the birth of the Love that it comes out of, from within itself (Sheela na Gig). This is the song that the Sun & Earth sing to each other as Lord and Lady. We are at once natural and supernatural, Spirit as love became human to enter nature to become love in physical form, thereby collapsing any separation between itself and its own creation. Love’s dream is for eternal joy and love for all. So when we relate to the seasons we need to connect with them as possible processes within our own hearts (4 chambers), as transformational choices that we as humans can engage in a way that we fulfil our true desire to become, to be sovereign, to serve.
IMBOLC then is the Snow drop, time as the eternal Spring experience that awakens in the person a conscious return to INNOCENCE, and from there a correct self-revealed unfoldment of their personal sense of I. This is the eternal child nature of the human being and of all reality, this is the truth discerning power of the human heart. It’s not the twisted dysfunctional fact finding, rational, judgemental, righteous, mechanical delusional cold controller that is leading humanity into the abyss. It is what it is, I am what Iam, the foundation of my becoming, the water that quenches my thirst forever. True self determination, without self-importance, without delusions, without egoism, the internal womb out of which correct thinking and cognition is born. From here the Egoic I conciousness of the person flowers into remembrance, passes through the purple dew drop into itself as light, a light born of love.
Now a new hope rooted in truth awakens in us, born of nature but now born of Spirit within nature… because as the conscious eternal child self we can go through the eye of the needle enter into its heavenly origin and purpose.
PRACTICE
I want to facilitate the above teaching in a way that connects the technical aspects of our practice, especially the attitude to breathe.
We will connect our breath practice interactively during the seminar , looking at the in/out rhythm and its relation to the way the earth breathes as the seasons. We will show the application of the engagement of the eternal child power as the foundation of dying and becoming…tantric breathing. Summed up, this will awaken/strengthen our ability to let life in in a way that helps us die into the Spirit self and then birth it into life by giving ourselves to life’s requests. This is the Candlemas experience, so it’s through the eternal child aspect of our being that we enter Heaven, this bridging then allows us to incarnate our heavenly selves. In a free, playful, but cognitively intentional way.
EXERCISE
To do before Seminar:
-Open sacred space
-Ask for guidance to remember a time when you were accused of being something that you felt you were innocent of, but despite believing you are innocent you still carry a sense of shame or guilt about.
-Go through the 4 intention process (Module 2)
-Try to get to the point where you light your candle.
-Then, as light, reveal the truth, from this truth create a cognitive intention so that you can bring it into the life process (including your physical body).
We will work with your research to demonstrate the advanced breath process strengthening our ability to evolve consciously, joyfully 🙏
