a class in echoed beliefs with colette baron-reid

What a crappy yet powerfully enlightening Mercury retrograde so far and thank God/ Goddess/Quantum Fred/Zeus/Jesus/etc. that it’s slowly coming to an end. I, for one, am tired of all the crunchy lesson learning and would really just like some soft serve. It really is amazing that having to lie in bed for five weeks after a motorcycle accident and hobble around for the last one could have been so active in the growth arena!

For those of you who are new to my tribe, and wondering what all the fuss is all about check out www.robertohotto.com for more info. Suffice to say whether you buy any of the astrology theories or not, many of us have had a doozy of a month sorting through our beliefs about community and family and emotional safety.

Ah- yes – I said it – beliefs. That means they are mine to sort through, and yours to sort through for you. It’s about how the world echoes back to us what we truly believe from deep down in the hidden places, some completely forgotten or shoved under a rickety staircase leading up from a stinky belief-cluttered basement we’d rather pretend doesn’t belong to us.

What a visual…I can see mine now, actually a lot emptier and tidier, as I’ve done some serious house cleaning as of late. But picture me looking at my life, stuff happening (and wondering WTF?) and going down into that dank forgotten place with a flashlight and a net trying to trap those sneaky buggers who have been yelling out into my world with such glee and giggling as I try to find the source of the VOICES that have taken me by surprise. BOO.

So there can be no blaming of outer circumstances to claim we were in any way victims of an unfair universe. Nope, from where I sit in my little cocoon of transformation, still wading in the glop, (which as of late has been growing as a result of shedding some unwanted beliefs about life, etc.) awaiting the spectacular wings I was promised by the Butterfly dream, I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on all this.

Lately, I feel like I’ve been enrolled, without my permission mind you, and maybe you have too, in Echo U.

What’s that you say? Let’s start with the definition of echo (from Merriam-Webster):

Definitions of ECHO:

1.a)     the repetition of a sound caused by reflection of sound waves

b)     the sound due to such reflection

2. a)     a repetition or imitation of another : reflection

b)     repercussion, result

c)     trace, vestige

d)     response

 3.  one who closely imitates or repeats another’s words, ideas, or acts

4.  a soft repetition of a musical phrase

5.  a)     the repetition of a received radio signal due especially to reflection of part of the wave from an ionized layer of the atmosphere

b)     (1) : the reflection of transmitted radar signals by an object (2) : the visual indication of this reflection on a radarscope

c)      the universe is reflecting back the sounds of our own beliefs. (I added that wiki)

Yep –I feel like I’ve been sitting in a place of higher education that has been bonking me on the head with such fervor it reminds me of my awful experience in a Zen temple when the head meditator sensei person kept slapping me on the back because I was fidgeting. And I was twenty eight, not five.

But when I did get that moment of “ zen- wow” that was incredible—being able to know in every cell of my body the oneness and calm certainty that I was a moving constant in the universe that was capable of miracles—I knew I could make my life ART.

I could hear my note in the bigger symphony.

Ok, getting back to the point.

If you can imagine that whatever deep down belief you have, has a timetable in this evolution/transformation/growth experience, and these cosmic cycles bring in an energy that opens a window of opportunity to see how our beliefs echo into the world and come back to us in the form of another person’s BS or an event that forces us to stop, look, and LISTEN.

Themes are different for everyone but the effect is the same. Whatever we see out-pictured in our world is an opportunity to listen to our own deepest beliefs that may have just started out as thoughts but, through reinforcement over time, have taken shape as our very own basement creatures camping out and belching out into the world at the most seemingly inappropriate moments.

What is awesome about all this is even though its uncomfortable, once we get that the outer kaka was a bounce back of noise from our own self, well, that’s quite powerful don’t you think?

INDEED!

I totally drank the Kool Aid on that one and believe that if I want to change something I just need to look into my life and see with detachment and a neutral gaze that when something really sticks out chances are it came from me first. No blame, no shame, just need some change.

It’s about naming it and claiming it.

Like in old faery lore, if you know their name you can claim their power for yourself and they can’t mess with you any more!

For those of you who are following me on Twitter (@ColetteBR) you’ll have noticed me blabbing away about making unique ART, life as ART, letting go of old ideas, releasing baggage, letting go of resentment, etc. When we release ourselves from our limiting beliefs the magic to create something extraordinary is given to us.

In my world that is a fact.

I want to be free to co-create miracles, and magic and ART and all that good stuff that would make even the teeniest movement in the wave of potentiality mean something.

So far so good but, every once in a while I’ll be forced to remember I might have to clean up the basement and find new homes and new jobs for the troublemakers I gave space.

Today I believe that my beliefs will echo into the world of form.

All those beliefs and thoughts, including the hairball logjam ones that were the result of collisions and confused cousins fighting for air time will show up sooner or later and right on schedule.

My focus this week is on getting the ones I want front and center. It’s working and it’s been so easy it’s almost embarrassing. (More in the next blog)

For now, how about you?

What has been your lesson at Echo U? Any head bonking? If you could turn them right around what would that look like?

Til next time… love to every one of you in my special tribe

Colette!
