Quadriptych Council

Essence portrait.

Through art, capture the abstract essence of the alternate reality you are seeking to move toward, and specifically the people and circumstances that facilitate that transition. This exercise can be done alone or as a group, where each participant is working on their own pieces, specific to just them. While they are making them they will not explain to the others the meanings behind their works. At the end everyone will review each other triptychs (more on this later).

You will create a triptych of artworks in the following order.

First (Spirit Guides): So begin first by making an artwork, here we will say a painting but it can be a sculpture or other medium, begin by creating an artwork that captures the abstract essence of your spirit guides; those who you are not able to physically interact with, but who are very much aware of you and are actively involving themselves in assisting you. Tap into their essence, and translate that essence into art. This is not a portrait, but you could call it an abstract essence portrait, and may include multiple entities. When you are done, write a description of how you interpret it.

Second (Ideal Future):  Access your concept of the future/alternate reality you are trying to move towards, and that your guides who you accessed with the first artwork are also in alignment with helping you towards. As you are accessing this vision seek the assistance of your guides in accessing the core essence of this vision. Have the first artwork on display where you can see it as you are working on the second one. Now create your abstract artwork to capture this essence of your ideal future. When you are done, write a description of how you interpret it.

Third (Facilitators): For the third piece in the triptych, you access the things that here now facilitate you moving towards that future you captured with the second piece. As before, this time you will sit with the second piece as you consider the abstract essence of things that facilitate you moving forward, towards your ideal future, in this moment in the real world. When you are ready, create the abstract portrayal of that essence, with the second artwork on display while you work. When you are done, write a description of how you interpret it.

Now you have finished the triptych.  Next have the other participants come to look at your triptych. They will look at the artworks, knowing the general subjects each once is supposed to represent: guides, future, and facilitators. Not knowing the specifics of what you were trying to capture, they will try to interpret them, try to guess what you were trying to capture in abstract form. Listen to these descriptions. Record them if necessary because you will need them later. Everyone will review each other’s triptychs.

Fourth (how they see it): Now go back and create a fourth artwork that captures the essences of all the best parts of the guest interpretations; the ones that inspired you the most. As you create this work, have the triptych on display. When you look at it, try to see it through the interpretations that the others supplied, feeling your way deeper into their interpretations, channeling it into art. When you are done, put all four on display together.  Now it is a quadriptych. Everyone’s quadriptychs are all on display in the same place.

In the place where everyone’s quadriptychs are on display, create a space where you can have discussions. Put up a roundtable with chairs, or arrange couches in a circle. Make this a comfortable place for brain storming big picture plans for the future. It is very much like a council room, where the participants with have reoccurring discussions about how to move forward collectively toward ideal futures. The presence of the art helps set the tone for these discussions. 

Schema Scripts

     The idea we wish to pass on at this time is what we will call the Schema Belief or Schema Script. You have been extensively exposed to the subject of analyzing your belief systems to uncover hidden blockages. This concept is understood in theory by many of you but still so many are struggling to unravel the energy systems associated with their deeply ingrained beliefs. By presenting this subject through a slightly different lens, we hope to give you a new source of leverage to help you move forward. A schema is an expectation for how common, reoccurring events and scenarios play out. When you walk into a grocery store, you have general guidelines and parameters for what you expect to transpire. You do not expect to walk into the store and find it filled with a herd of baby elephants, yet you still allow for a certain of range of unexpected things to happen, such as bumping into an old acquaintance. Think of a schema as a loosely defined script that common reoccurring events/scenarios must follow as they play out. We call this a Schema Script. As you go through your day you encounter a variety of “scenes”, each with its own beginning, middle, and end. In response to these scenes, you have an array of ready made scripts, or a log of learned responses which are ready to be deployed. The other half of this is that you also have an array of common scenarios you expect to encounter. At work you expect to talk to your coworker and you expect it to go a certain way, or you expect interactions with customers or strangers to go a certain way, usually the way it has gone in the past. You may find that these the Schema Scripts are highly developed, not to mention they can often be profoundly negative in nature. Yet often you are not consciously aware that you are following these scripts. You just go through your day and that’s that.

       So when we ask you to uncover your beliefs, we also want you to give special attention to uncovering your Schema Scripts. Approach this by getting clear on what kind of events you want to experience. If there is any kind of specific event or scenario you wish to experience make a note of it. Write it down, but don’t make it too specific. Don’t include specific people or places, make the description loose enough that you can easily see the specific people and places where that scenario could play out, but it could also occur under different circumstances, with different people and in different contexts. However, it is good to start this process with a very specific event schema in mind of something you would like to happen. Then look at it and try to distill it down into more basic parameters, allowing for a greater variety of contexts, and that is what you will put down. This is like throwing a wider net or opening an iris wider to let more light in.

      Accumulate a list of these schemas. What you will end up doing is distilling a short list of the most potent schema scripts that you can benefit the most from and that you want to pour your energy of imagination and expectation into. Let’s say you come up with a short list of about 12 schema scripts, aka “general ideas for good things that could actually happen”; a list that is short enough for you to give adequate attention to. On a piece of paper draw a circle for each Schema Script, big enough for you to write short memos to mark each time something happened that fit the parameters of this or that schema. Each of these circles will be called a Schema Garden.

For aesthetic purposes, the Schema Gardens should be arranged in a circle on the paper.  As you proceed through your day, try to make things happen that fit the ideal schema descriptions.  Throughout the day, or at the end of the day, put a note or symbol inside the schema garden marking the event that fit the schema. Also indicating a rating 1-5 of how satisfactory the experience was. 

Inside the circle of Schema Gardens is a triangle. Each of the three sides of the triangle represent a part of yourself that you are trying to shift or change; the three most potent focus points for personal development that you have identified. Distill your intentions for personal change down to three most important, and write them along the edges of the triangle.  Within the triangle, make a note of the beautiful things you encountered, the things that struck you as good and that you have appreciation for, but don’t fall into the category of your Schema Scripts. Put any additional random good things in the triangle. In the center of the triangle draw a wavy line that bends 5 times, and in each bend of the line is a dot (see image). This glyph will help you anchor the energy you are trying to bring to bear. You can make a digital work up of this diagram that can be printed out. You can also use this diagram mentally as visual memory tool, to remember each of your schema gardens, and organize your intentions.

     Make this a daily ritual for a period of time. Do this as a group, with other members of your household or friends. At the end of the day look at your gardens. Remember all that transpired and mark the good schemas that were fulfilled. Sit with the other people you are doing this with and review the day together.

The Instruction of Zimazola 2/17 - 7/18

The Instruction of Zimazola

 Weekly Action:

Ask a friend to give you a challenge or task to complete within one week. Let it be something they think you would benefit from. Use this as a form of deeper exchange. 

2-2-17  Discover the masterful places of this world, and discover the masterful people of this world. Let the masterful people gather in the masterful places to converse and discover.

2-15-17    Gaze into the prism. Split the visions of your mind’s eye until the worlds you see are more than three.

--- Do not be surprised when you start to notice the first inklings of miracles coalescing into your life experience. Miracles are like mist from the inner world becoming small beads of dew that blanket the early morning of the outer world. They come from within you. Show no surprise when these dew drops swell to become massive planets radiating their joyful influence. Express only affirmation that this is what you expected.

---- Let your asking be like the song of clocktower bells; express your song of beautiful asking once an hour. Momentum swells only for those that show up with repetition, vision, and expression. Let your intentions become a well rehearsed symphony.

--- Listen to the voices in your head; the sentiments they express are your own. They are the story you tell and live through others. How you act and roleplay the voices of others reveals your true beliefs with astounding clarity.

--- What are the practices, behaviors, beliefs, and ideas that you will use to move forward today? What now stands between you and every low minded thought, every skewed version of yourself you don’t want to feel? Identify and number these tools so they are accounted for, lest they fade away and vanish from your inattention.

--- Anger at the wrong, destructive behaviors of others is what you must let go. By reassigning responsibility for what you are experiencing to them, you not only give over your power, but are also fueling the continuation of the negative experience.

 ----Learn to receive the gifts that are being transmitted to you from your higher self in every moment. It is the only way the heart flame within you can become externalized.

--- In responding to others, seek a deeper understanding what is wanted, what is desired, by them and also by you.  The first priority in any exchange is to understand what is wanted.

Weekly Action:

Ask people about cultural change. What is changing in our world and why? What are we moving towards? What is the best possible outcome we could achieve and what would it take for us to get there? Interview friends and acquaintances. Interview strangers. Discuss how we can redefine the way we think about power, change, action, and activism.

Week 10

-  What can you see changing in your culture now, on a macro scale, but also on a microscale among friends and family? What is driving these changes? What are some of the biggest factors that enable culture evolution?

- What are you moving towards? What scenarios do you anticipate are going to play out in your life in the near future? Can you see what your beliefs and patterns of expectation are setting you up for? Can you see the patterns in what you expect to happen and what you ask to receive?

- Of all the potential possibilities you have imagined, ranging from the most pure to the most wasteful, begin to wrap your mind around the notion that you can achieve the outcome that serves your highest good. Begin to wrap your head around the idea that you will experience circumstances that serve you, and you will experience them in the now. See this, feel this, and escape into this vision.

-Show to yourself your great desire, yearning, and readiness to change. Acknowledge and appreciate these currents that are already flowing through you, so that your ego may be carried by them.

- It is not your place to decide what the people of your world are moving toward or what they will become. Decide instead what alternate reality you will project your consciousness into. 

- It is so critical that you come to a visceral understanding of the you that exists already in other worlds and timelines simultaneously: to create is to embrace what already exists elsewhere.

- The functionality of the tools and technology you use begins with an expression and is born from expression, like art. So engineer with the mind of an artist. Know what you what your technology to express. Know what you want to evoke.

- What do you express with your choice of statements, subjects to bring up, and points of focus? Do you know what you want to evoke in others? If you think you know, ask others what they think you are trying to express.

- Always judge the quality of your work by the quality of the process used to achieve that work; always, always, always. Process is everything.

Weekly Action:

Create a triangular grid, or a triangle divided into four triangles, each divided into four triangles, divided into four triangles in a fractal fashion.  Fill the grid with experiences, pieces of information, and ideas that you want to share with others. These are organized into categories and subcategories, where each larger triangle represents the similar themes and subjects of the smaller triangles within it.

Week 19

2-14-2018  18

Listen to the sounds of deep spaces, open spaces, caverns and oceans, deserts and the sky. Know their voices and their sounds. Imitate this speech in your imagination.

2-14-2018 18

Create the sound of beating wings within your heartspace. Fill it with golden light. Set it free to fly. Where does it go? See this in your mind’s eye.

2- 21-2018 16

Every twist, turn, and barrier has something essential to reveal to you about yourself, and about how you got here in the first place.

2-21 -2018 16

Do you know what your message is? Do not send mixed messages. See that your signal contains as much of the whole vibration as possible.

2-21-2018 16

Talk to the plants. Talk to your cells, Earth’s core, and the collective, and talk to those you will soon be in conversation with. Ask their higher minds what subjects best serve them.

3-27-2018 23

In thinking of how you will break through a negative situation, or intending to create or manifest something, always call to mind and imagine others that desire the same thing.

3-27-2018 23

Fast from the past. Create a period of time where you don’t focus on how things actually happened. Temporarily shift your focus to an imagined past. Do this in shifts.

3-27-2018 23

Relax, and as you relax let your energy rise up through you. Release what you feel and let it rise upwards and out the top of your head. Project your energy up into space, sending it into the sky, and receive it again from the sky, now changed. Read it’s meaning.

4-3-2018 18

Learn not to focus too much on the world your senses present to you. Sense that the world before you  is a thin veil, beyond which more pure or more terrifying landscapes and persons are close at hand, not distant as you once thought.

Weekly Action:

Create a set of painted stones made by you and others. Each stone is like a symbolic window into something beautiful; an idea or energy that person is currently working with. Once the stones are made, they can be arranged to make glyph forms. Use this glyph as a way of anchoring the sum energy of all the individual stone expressions. Over time the stones can be arranged into any variety of new glyph formations, each with its own unique meaning in relationship to the individual stone meanings.

4-3-2018 18

What is it you desire to bring to bear in this moment? Feel it. Know it. Now imagine others who in this moment desire the same thing. Feel them. Know them.

4-10-2018 16

Have your responses to common pitfalls ready and in order. Know clearly what will throw you off track. Know clearly how you will respond.

4-10-2018 16

And what happens at the end of all this? Where will you go once your most horrific timeline scenario has played out in full? What comes after the worst that could happen? Go to that place. Feel it. Discover it.

4-11-2018 17

Imagine yourself in the near future. Call upon this being, this next you, to guide and stand by the now you. If it is difficult to tap into the near future version of you, what does that mean for how you view yourself? Use it a compass to reveal where you really believe you are heading. Form an understanding of a Self that is always changing, so that you can easily anticipate how you will soon be different.

4-11-2018 17

Think now of the kind of person you would like to have with you to help you through this current task, or what kind of person you would simply like to be around right now. This will reflect a part of yourself you could become more in touch with.

4-12-2018 18

Move swiftly from one segment of intention to the next. Do not linger in your thoughts on the part of your day you have just finished. For that is more energy you are feeding into the past, and not the present.

4-13-2018 19

Energy comes from fusion with the opposite polarity (not to be confused as the most polarizing other). You can think of it as fusion with shadow or dark energy; or rather, the energy of the unknown and that which you have not experienced.

4-17-2018 23

Rather, it is not about achieving a specific outcome. Your sole goal should be to achieve a raised vibration, which will lead to whatever outcome is really right for you.

4-17-2018 23

How much do you care about your wellbeing and that your circumstances support you? The more you care about you, the more the universe will care about you. The more that you insist that things go well for you, the more the universe will insist likewise.

Weekly Action

Turn a recent dream that you would like to revisit into a short story. It does not have to be a direct adaptation of the dream but should pull elements from the dream, particularly those elements that were most interesting, and that you would like to revisit. Share this story when it is finished. 

Week 37

Above want for your deliverance, more important than your need for a way forward, is the need to bring your mind to the borders of dreaming.

7-3-2018 21

The gift of the hierophants that you give first to yourself, to know, then back to the world, to purify, is the true beginning of abundance.

7-3-2018 21

You purify yourself by sharing your gifts. By enabling what flows to you to flow through you, and ripple out into your local universe. This is true purification.

7-10- 2018   19

Amass your reveries, your moments of pause, your elegant daydreams, until they reach a point of overflowing. Activate tiny imaginings of release and purity as often as you can possibly think to throughout your day.

7-10-2018 19

Sing at night. Sing in the dark. Sing in the trees. Sing in the wide open spaces, and sing in the midst of crowds. Sing with the voice of single soul. Sing as a choir. Sing in unison with spirits unseen.

7-10-2018 19

Think of your timeline, your history behind you and before you. Identify intervention points, the crossroads where things changed, or had the potential to lead you down one path or the other. Feel those other timeline versions of you that now stand at those crossroads. Activate your awareness of them, and then sing with them. Sing and imagine that they are all vocally channeling the same song, simultaneously from different perspectives across time.
