Newsletter March 2009

Hello Everyone. I hope you are getting the benefit out of the current
Mayan calendar year which began on November 2008 and will continue until
November 2009. Its a time of flowering and abundance. A time of things
coming to fruition, but of course you must have planted the seed for
that to occur.So often we believe that all we have to do is wish for it
and desire it and it 'should' happen. Of course the process of
manifestation is a bit more complex than that. As we are currently
living by the laws of the 3rd dimension, we have to take a 3D approach
to bringing things into being. I touched on this in my last newsletter.
First we must feel the desire. The feelings alert us to a need in us and
needs are no bad thing.We all have them all of the time, like fuel
needing to be shoveled into a boiler to keep it alight.Needs have gained
a bad reputation especially in the New Age of self responsibility where
we believe we shouldn't have any or it reflects badly on us.The truth is
its not needs that are the problem. Its not meeting them! Then we become
'needy' and thats an ongoing condition of powerlessness. The more we
don't meet our needs the more needy we become as we begin to believe we
are incapable of meeting them.The more needs we leave unmet, the bigger
the pile becomes and the more difficult it seems to come back into a
place of satiation and joy. And we have all been there I know! Still all
we have to do is start at the top of the pile with the most urgent needs
and meet them one at a time and bit by bit the pile will get lower and
lower. If we are consistent with this we have every opportunity to come
into balance eventually. That is not a place of 'no needs'. It is a
place of clarity where the upcoming needs can be recognized by the
feelings, elucidated by the mind and met by the body: truly a 3D
approach. So the path by which we must approach manifestation is to
locate the desire inside our feelings. Without that, nothing will occur.
We need the energy of the feelings to 'fuel' the movement towards
manifestation. Feelings and emotion all have a bodily component to them'
an energetic 'buzz' as it were. Take some time next time you are having
an emotion to feel the buzz. It doesn't matter if it is a so called
negative feeling or a great one, it will still have the buzz at the back
of it that powers all things.Then ask yourself, what need is at the
bottom of this feeling? What are you being told to provide for your
self?? Now is the tricky bit because most of us go into the 'I cant'
thinking pattern that we have developed out of the powerlessness of the
huge pile of unmet needs facing us. However, if we stay with the feeling
and go beneath it we will find the need and along with it the desire to
have it fulfilled. Now you can go to the next step. Having located the
energy for its completion, you are then able to shape it into a thought.
"I needs a new car" isn't a manifestation in and of itself. If you have
located the need and the desire contained in the feelings, you have some
juice behind it. Without that juice thoughts are dead, dry things. Now
having shaped the need and desire into a clear understanding of whats
required, you can break it down with the use of your good mind into bit
sized choices that the body can enact and thus bring about the
manifestation of the fulfillment of the need. In actual fact this
process can sometimes be so swift that we dont see the component parts
to it. It looks like we thought about it and there it was. But you
needed to be in the right place at the right time to see the opportunity
that the body can now act on and that was a product of the previous
steps. So we decide to look in the paper for a car, we drive towards the
car yard and low and behold, round the corner from our home, our
neighbour has her car out on the street with a 'For Sale' sign on it and
you have always loved that car!!!

One of the other things I wanted to talk about this month was the
correlation between spirituality and  therapy. Most people have a knee
jerk reaction against therapy. They immediately associate it with mental
disease and write it off . And its true that many forms of therapy today
are little more than advice giving and of course, if advice worked for
us we would all be perfect because we have all had loads of it since
childhood onwards.  But  we all need ways of clearing the decks so that
spirit can come through clearly in our lives rather than being filtered
through the many undealt with needs and issues hidden in our psyche. The
more we get the static off the line the more clearly we see our
evolutionary path of growth before us and the way that our own path
dovetails into the evolution of the whole species and indeed all of
creation. So many people look for phenomena to take the ouch out of
their lives. We want to know that there is something more. But phenomena
is just that. No different from a lighting flash or thunder clap, just
coming from a different dimension of reality. In some it can cause a
adrenalin buzz which makes us feel good for a while as the endorphins
flash through our system, only to leave us addicted to wanting more, or
flat  from the mundanity of our everyday lives once it has passed. More
important is to have spirit with you working in your life as it is. It
teaches us how to live fully within the bounds of our current
three-dimensional reality and guides us gently, within our increasing
understanding, to the ability to experience life anew. As we master
that, so we become ready for the next great experience of dimensional
shift. But to master that we need to look deeply into our lives:
clearing away the debris of the beliefs that we have come to hold about
the way life is based on our childhood responses to powerlessness. We
need to rigorously observe our inner world, finding those issues and
needs that are still undealt with, not because we have any disease, but
from the pure love of knowledge about ourselves holding the desire to
extract wisdom from our lives, and move forward along our own path or
growth towards our potential. As we take ourselves forward with new ways
of being, so we affect the whole, contributing to the evolution towards
the next school of learning that awaits us once we have learned what we
need to in this one.

I have written a new book, which offers tools to this end. Based on the
Psychosynthesis model, which is the only true spiritual psychology in
existence, "The Way Through-A Guide to Psychosynthesis in Everyday Life"
gives you over 80 experiential exercises to do, many diagrams to help
you understand visually, and experience from my own practice in
Psychosynthesis as a therapist, trainer, and practitioner for the best
part of the last three decades.This book will be available later on this
year, and I am opening  a pre-order list now. For those that place a
pre-publication order with me, there is a 20% discount from the retail
price. No money need be paid until the book is released, but the
pre-order needs to be honoured once the time arrives :-)   Shortly there
will be a new page on my website containing sample chapters. In the
meantime, if you have bought and enjoyed my previous book "Reweaving the
Web-A Shamanic Journey of Connection", which is available from me  at
any time for $35, you will know there will be a great deal of wisdom for
you  in the pages of this new book, which has been my vocation and
avocation for  so long. To place an order, please email me with your
name, address, phone contact, and email address. Once your name is
received you are assured of a copy at discount price.

The Munay Ki workshop series that is currently underway is bringing
accelerated growth to its participants I am told, and am so grateful to
be able to offer this wonderful fast track to our growth. However, it is
the next step of growth, not the first step, and those that undertake it
needs to have spent some time on the process of self observation before
embarking on it. If you fit that description, then the Munay Ki can give
you the energetic burst to take you onto a new level with your journey
towards the 5th dimension of reality we are all headed towards. I am
willing to offer a new series in June/July/Early August if there are 5
people who wish to become initiates of this wonderful Andean gift from
the Qu'ero people. There will be no more initiations in Dunedin this
year after that, and there are only 3.5 years to go before 2012 so don't
leave it too long to get this chance of accelerated growth. People need
to register their interest in this opportunity with me as soon as
possible so that I can schedule it in before the beginning of May.
Well My Friends, that's all for this month. Happy manifesting, and
remember the highest good of all. After all, what's the good of a new car
if that's all there is. Blessings Sparrowhawk
