Waking Up and Tuning In

Event Horizon By Sue Hoya Sellars

Dear One,This is one of my favorite Sue paintings. For those of you who don’t know, Sue was my other Mother, I call her my Earth Mother, she was also my mentor and my painting teacher. She is the one I learned about Intentional Creativity from. To really see what is going on this image you need to look really close - see the trees at the top of the Event Horizon, then the one at the edge on the right is starting to bend. According to sources, the event horizon is the spherical outer boundary of a black hole, loosely considered to be it’s surface. Nasa says that the gravitational influence becomes so great, that not even light is fast enough to escape it. In a black hole, the escape velocity is equal to the speed of light. The theory of general relativity that we are familiar with says that nothing can travel faster than light….at the speed of light….Therefore nothing inside the event horizon can ever cross the boundary and escape beyond it, including light. In other words if we happened to travel there - no message would be able to get back from where we came. But then….who knows? We are learning more and more as we discover the James Web imagery with such granularity. I love comparing the Hubble images, which I grew up with, with the Webb.

Theories say that anything which goes beyond the event horizon is simply added into the black hole. Also since time distorts close to the boundary, it appears to be moving slow. Black holes result from the death of a big ole’ star.

Why am I telling you this today and how is it connected with consciousness? Good question. I can’t say for sure to be honest. I woke up today thinking about this painting of Sue’s and how she as always reconciling the cosmic sciences with spirituality. If she was here to ask a question I might say - Can you map the reality of the event horizon with awakening? What is the correlative.I know she would have an answer. I however do not. It is like this sometimes. I have a feeling in my body, then I see an image. Then I think of you. Then I turn on the recorder. Sometimes it is a clear prescription and a clear map and others, like today will leave me in deep inquiry about the connection between the event horizon and waking up, or as I said in the spontaneous transmission, waking in.

Perhaps in this offering on the altar of the great mystery - an answer - or at least a better question will occur for me, or for you. Perhaps you know - what might the event horizon have to teach us about what it means to wake up in this body and navigate this wild experience of soul? I have heard it said if you can’t find the answer, ask a better question. Working on it. Because I am concerned at the level of consciousness I see, and I know there are more options, and I am committed to discovering the path to awakening with my work that anyone who chooses can take. I am here to wake and waken. It’s an honor. As I say in the transmission - awake for me means you are as awake and aware at any given moment as you can be - according to your soul’s invitation. There isn’t a hierarchy, it is individual and personal according to each person. Can I tell if people aren’t awake yet? People ask me. Well usually yes, but only according the level of my own awakening journey. Mostly you can tell in what people say - and how fixed their beliefs are - how rigid their worldview - how they treat others….I have a whole list but that might be for another day and another event horizon.

Blessings to you and big love on the edge of awakeing,
