OCTOBER 2011
BACKGROUND ON THE 2011 OVERLEAVES - http://www.truthloveenergy.com/forum/topics/tle-michael-chat-20102011
2011 Overleaves are:
ROLE: PRIEST (emphasized all year)
CENTER: MOVING (emphasized all year)
GOAL: FLOW (emphasized Jan - Mar)
MODE: CAUTION (emphasized Apr - Jun)
ATTITUDE: PRAGMATIST sliding to Cynic and Skeptic (emphasized Jul - Sep)
CHIEF FEATURES: Impatience/Martyrdom (emphasized Oct - Dec)
OCTOBER marks the shift of emphasis for the year toward that of the Chief Negative Features, which are those behaviors that are prompted as a form of defense against certain fears.
When anyone moves into serious self-assessment of the past, it can either bring out one’s fears, or bring out one’s gratitude. Self-assessment happens throughout the year for everyone, but in terms of our “Energy Reports,” we speak to the general wave of collective processes, and October through December tends to be a time period where more than half of the planet goes through a self-assessment. This is largely due to the fact that it is the end of the calendar year for most of the planet, and any significant shift in measuring large arcs of time can prompt mass self-assessment. When mass self-assessment happens, then mass fears and their subsequent defenses can be prompted.
The Chief Features we interpret for the year are those that reflect how collective fear may be played out in the world, not necessarily in one’s personal life, though it is difficult to evade the collective fears if one is even remotely participating in the world. Everyone will have his or her individual Chief Feature methods for responding to fear, but the Chief Features described for the year is how all of that collective energy may flow into the world and show up.
This year, those whose self-assessment brings up fear may contribute to the fears that revolve around CONTROL. Impatience and Martyrdom are the defenses against fears related to Controlling TIME or Controlling SPACE, respectively. Keep in mind that our Chief Features do not describe the actual fears, but what one tends to do IN REACTION or DEFENSE against fears.
Impatience is a reaction to, or a defense against, the fear that time is running out, is slipping by, is overwhelming, and cannot be controlled. Martyrdom is a reaction to, or a defense against, the fear that one’s life, environment, personal space or world is out of control, is hurting rather than helping, and does not comply to one’s wishes, demands, and expectations.
Time and Space can never truly be controlled beyond a certain extent, and for the most part, one only has control over how one experiences, interprets, and uses these resources. The defenses and reactions that come up when one cannot control these things is useless against the experience of the passing of time, or the direction of everything in one’s environment or world. One can fear getting old all one wants to fear it, but one will grow older. One can prepare for the worst all one wants, or wish for the best, but one cannot control the entirety of economy, geological disasters, or the choices of others, etc. One can completely control his or her experiences, interpretations, and use of these qualities of life, however.
This year appears to be bringing up a great deal of exploration around the issue of Control, and this is being played out in the world in ways that we have not been seen since the 1960’s. At this point, the fear of losing control in the world looks a bit like great fists desperately squeezing sand to hold on to it. For most of our students, we see that they are observing this more than experiencing it, but it may show up in the personal realm, as well, depending upon how much one is participating in the world at large. Even merely observing it is participation. We encourage our students to be a part of the world, if they choose. It is not an aim of our teaching to encourage one to rise above it or escape it, but to learn how to choose, and to choose how to learn within the experiences of it.
There are two polarities happening the world at this point that are dealing with this issue of Control.
On the positive side, we have a mass of fragments who recognize that a momentum is in place that is headed toward catastrophe on many levels. Their response is more along the lines of “steering” as a means of returning to control, but in order to get this steering under control, “the brakes” have to be put on. Hard. This has shown up in many ways this year where those who were at the mercy of a momentum that was not of their obvious choice have finally put on the brakes and are redirecting the momentum as best they can. This will most likely be seen even more so in the months ahead, where those who would most suffer from a harmful momentum are taking responsibility and doing what they can to help halt and redirect. It is the beginning of a revolution, and not in just the obvious ways, but in psychic ways, as well, and across several countries.
On the negative side, a minority of fragments are digging in their heels from a paradigm that refuses to accommodate change, evolution, prosperity, sharing, empathy, etc. In short, they refuse to accommodate the shift from Young Soul paradigm of “there is you and me, and I’m going to win” to that of the Mature Soul paradigm of “there is you and me, and I know how you feel.” Furthermore, they refuse to accommodate the inevitable shift from the Debt-based Society of the past 100 year Platform to a Choice/Resource-based Society of the 21st Century Platform.
Those fragments refusing to participate and adapt to this inevitable change among the masses of consciousness on the planet will most likely continue to do all they can to ensure their paradigm is not disturbed. Ironically, their paradigm would not be disturbed if they would not presume it should also be the paradigm of the masses. There is a way for them to carry on without too much inconvenience, but this is not particularly attractive to these Younger souls at this time.
The scenario at this time is similar to that of a group of teenagers who have won the lottery because of tickets bought by the adults around them, with the teenagers not only refusing to share, but refusing to acknowledge that their winnings are precisely because of those who did not win. It is their right not to share, of course, but it is also their demise, as there is little value to anything that one does not share or exchange, from the wallet to the smile. Money (resources) has little value in the Mature Paradigm, unless it is shared, so a new system would either come into place to completely remove the value of money as it is currently understood, or a new way of distributing the resources and money of the world would come into play.
Every fragment is free to live in his own world, so to speak, but there is never a time on the planet, regardless of predominant Soul Age, when one is not simultaneously, inherently in a shared reality with everyone else on the planet, and one’s choices and actions have impact on those with whom that reality is shared. This default of a shared reality is part of how a species grows in consciousness, because everyone’s choices and actions must be dealt with to some extent, and eventually these begin to be experienced in a way that is either pleasant or harmful. As one is on the receiving or contributing end of those experiences, more consciousness is brought to the process of choice, giving rise to greater pleasures and less harm. This aim toward pleasure is not required, of course, but it simply seems to be preferred, which would make sense because it feels good. We know of no Essence who truly prefers true harm over true pleasure, even if some Personalities choose to bring great harm in a lifetime. In the long run, Pleasure tends to be the higher aim, and is always the preference of Essence.
Your world, at this point, is embracing the Mature Soul paradigm at an exponential rate, and every facet of the previous Young Soul paradigm that contributes harm is going to be addressed. Paradigm shifts are often brought about by masses, but in the Mature shift, the masses would most likely be geared toward the most peaceful, educational , and empathic of efforts possible for that change to take effect. Bumping up against the force of the Young Paradigm may, however, require some “fighting back,” and this may not be pleasant in some cases.
So what you have in the world as Impatience and Martyrdom is being played out in a group that is struggling to retain control through the negative poles of Intolerance and Victimization, and another group that is struggling to regain control through positive poles of Audacity and Selflessness. There may be some cross over between the groups, but the division should be fairly clear.
Most of our Older Soul students are as excited about this as they are terrified, and this is “just the beginning.” This polarized battle for control is more than likely going to end in control being lost by many before regaining footing again among the masses. For the next few months, this struggle may play out in the world much like a tug of war between a mass of ants and a Red Wood Tree, but it will only be in the breaking or dropping of the rope that either side “wins” and can move on to a preferable momentum.
On a personal level, this playing out of Chief Features in the world may bring some anxiety and stress to our students. This would be natural, but not necessary. Your world is going to change. It is inevitable. And we can assure you that our students have the masses “on their side” in terms of moving everyone toward a paradigm that is more comforting to Older Souls than one has been in a long time. This is not a prediction, but a fairly stable probability that is consistent with many shifts we have seen. Every revolution is ugly for the chaos it brings at first, but then leads into patterns that can once again be considered beautiful.
Translating all of this into personal terms, the next few months may find you feeling affected by unfolding of events in your inner or outer world that may look and feel rather chaotic, depressing, or even traumatic, but remembering that this is simply a process of rearranging a harmful momentum to be aimed toward a more pleasurable direction. To ignore, hide, or dismiss it is a choice to contribute to the chaos, but to observe, hold a vision, and live by example, would do far more for reducing the impact of such a revolution.
Helpful thoughts over OCTOBER might be:
1) THERE ARE VERY FEW BAD PEOPLE, But MANY Better Choices
The concept of “bad” is usually relative to your own ideas about what are important and meaningful choices, which may easily put you in the same position as “bad” to those on the other side of an issue. We dare say that nearly every one of our students have been on the receiving end of this label, or similar, when his or her own well-intentioned, personal choices were deemed as “bad,” or as harming another who stood against those choices, when in fact, nothing harmful was being done. Keep this in mind when making the choice to defend or condemn, as it may simply be a matter of differences in priorities, values, and meanings, and not a matter of good vs bad. To seek only to change the choices of another to accommodate your own, even if your choices are “clearly” better, is to do the same thing against which you are probably standing. To help keep your personal world from falling into an outdated paradigm that pits one side against another, it is always helpful to remember that every individual does the best he or she can with what he or she thinks are important or meaningful choices. Making your choices from there can help you to direct yourself toward what you choose, rather than spending all of your time trying to convince or halt another individual’s or group’s choices. Even in situations of oppression or true harm, it is more than likely your own capacity for making better choices that will save the day, rather than the focus on the condemnation of the oppressor.
2) BEING HURT IS NOT THE SAME THING AS BEING HARMED
It times when the fears related to Control are emphasized, it is important to differentiate between the concepts of Hurt and Harm. Hurt is a reaction, and as such is an extension of choice. Harm is an intention. If you are slapped in the face, it may Hurt no matter who does it, or how it is done, but whether Harm was intended is a very important factor to consider. A person who is slapped in the face by someone who intends to Harm can experience far more damage than one who has been accidentally hit by a car, unintentionally. Harm must be intended for it to be True Harm. All True Harm Hurts, but not all Hurts are the result of True Harm. You have control over your Hurting, even when someone intended to Harm you. Your Hurt is your own, and can be processed as you choose, even if it includes Physical Hurting. A person who owns his or her Hurt tends to experience far less pain than someone who feels that his or her Hurt is someone else’s responsibility to heal. Even Physical recoveries are helped by this differentiation. Differentiating between Hurt and Harm, then, is vital for one’s health, recovery, or even revolution. If someone disappoints you, it can hurt, but if there was no intention to hurt you, and it is only a matter of someone making a choice that you wish he or she did not make, it is not Harm, no matter how hurt you feel. It is up to you what you do with this kind of differentiation, but it can be far less painful than waiting for, or pushing for, someone else to fix your Hurt. Hurt can be experienced in such moments as disappointment, as well as moments of True Harm, so it is easy to default to the presumption that your Hurt was intended, but more often than not, it was never intended. In an evolving consciousness and in an evolving world/paradigm, the responsibility of one’s own Hurting begins to be a priority for healing,and transformation to happen, rather than through resorting to blame. It is okay to hold someone accountable for the choices that he or she makes that may have been hurtful to you, or for you to make choices that will remove you from the hurt caused by the choices of another person, but your hurt is not something to which you must remain attached, even if Harm was intended. Knowing that Harm was or was not intended can help you to make better choices in response to the experience, rather than remaining in a state of reaction. Feeling Hurt is one way for you to become aware of what or who is not working in your life, and that is all it has to be. If you stub your toe, it would make no sense to blame the table leg. It simply means for you to be aware of that table leg and to be more careful, if you choose. If you were to wait for the table leg to apologize or do the work of healing your toe, it would be absurd. It is no different in cases where another person meant no Harm, even if you are Hurt. Your choices can be made from this awareness, and your hurt can dissolve, rather than turning into further ailments and patterns.
DATES OF INTEREST
OCTOBER 3rd through OCTOBER 5th - a divergence (branching into parallels) Nexus with an emphasis on mass responsibility versus mass blame. Some will branch off into parallels where wars would most likely be of interest, while some will branch off into parallels where communication, education, responsibility from within is the emphasis, giving rise to revolutions and movements, instead of wars. This parallel shift is a divergence between those who are interested in a "Think for yourself" world, as opposed to those who wish to have others do the thinking for them.
OCTOBER 20th through 29th- a major, lengthy divergence that extends from the previous, which may be marked by some rather spectacular world event, if this Nexus occurs. This Divergence would emphasize another round of examples for why everyone needs to work together, and not fall into the illusions of duality or delusional, divisive tactics. The "Think for yourself" may show up in problem solving patterns that are the result of matrices of contributing thought, rather than from an authority. The obvious effects from this Nexus may not manifest until the following year, as this appears to be relative to a long-term exploration.

Does anyone think maybe the "spectacular world event" is the death of Gaddafi? Would that count, or is that a stretch? It seems significant on a global scale, and fell exactly in the Nexus. If nothing else, it's a cool coincidence! On top of that, the resounding quote that is being attached to this is "this is what we can do when we do it together," regarding the lift of cruel tyranny and oppression.

It's possible but to be honest, I was looking for something financial out of Europe that ripples here to our markets. Next week will be telling for that. Gaddafi was just a distraction. Not many are even affected or care about his demise.

@Bobby, you wrote "Not many are even affected or care about his demise."
Whether this is the "spectacular event" or not, this is definitely not a minor event that doesn't affect many. It affects the entire world, actually. The rippling effects of a country sitting on a massive resource of power finally being returned to its people to join the world economy, in itself, is huge, let alone the rippling effects from the end of a major war and the people that may rise up from such oppression. Who knows what will come of it, and maybe it's not "spectacular," at least not by our definition, but maybe on a scale that is more macro-cosmic than micro, it is pretty amazing. Maybe.

Actually, the real "show" in Libya is probably about to start. Most of the tribes had united against Gaddafi as the common enemy. Now that there's no common enemy and a power vacuum, we'll see if they can stick it out as a people or if they'll fall into infighting between them, which could become a new civil war.
It may be part of the nexus, perhaps, but the death itself seems to influence the local region most. I'm thinking if there is a "spectacular event" it would be much more widely seen and felt around the world, likely something that challenges a dominant paradigm. After all, spectacular events are generally so because they are big and surprising.

One of the problems with "revolution" is that the reasons or causes vary. If one reads the Libyan history and Gaddafi's role in it -- he was quite the trailblazer at one time. His historical interaction with women has been far more modern than anyone else in the Islamic world. His negative poles and ego really were his Achilles heel, though -- he wanted to be a much bigger leader/player in Med/Middle Eastern politics that he ever was able to convince others of, which caused him to make several disastrous missteps. He was not the conventional despot that we're used to reading about. But, I agree with Eric. I've been doing a lot of reading up on tribal politics throughout the entire region from the west coast of Africa to Afghanistan and on into Central Asia. Tribal politics is something the west knows close to nothing about and has even less understanding of how it functions. Few of the countries that were created post WWI throughout that entire arc have a genuine national identity -- Egypt probably has the strongest one due to its history. Country boundaries are part of the Colonial European mindset and have yet to be truly adopted by most of the peoples affected by them. Most of the cultures that are part of this arc have been continuously part of both empires and local governance, based on Tribes for millennium. But, as far as I can tell, most of Europe is little different and most of those countries that have been warring for an equally long period didn't have genuine national identities, either.
Expanding and collapsing empires has been the norm for most of our recorded history. The US is one of the bigger longer-termed experiments in that it didn't have a true cultural identity based on the past. China is the longest lasting true "country" within an empire. Interesting times for sure.

Egypt has a very strong national identity, and modern Egyptians are, in my experience, very attached to their ancient history. This history also shows itself still in the language, in textile designs, in certain practices that predate Islam and even monotheism in some cases. It's also been the cultural powerhouse of the Arab world for a long time, though that may be on the wane, I don't know. What's funny is that that national identity is as much a construct as it is a reality. It is real, of course. But Egypt contains many ethnicities and cultures - Berber in the Siwa Oasis, Delta people, Bedouin in the Sinai, Saidi people in Upper Egypt (who are the ones who really look Pharaonic), Nubians (who really bore the brunt of a lot of stuff, losing some of their traditional culture when the High Dam was built), and Beja in the Southeast, who are more related to Eritreans than Arabs. Perhaps that strong streak of nationalism that ran through the place in the 20th century has kept them all from tribal warfare. That, and maybe the fact that they do have a really strong urban culture. And that they've been a tourist hotspot for millennia, and I'm sure no one wants to fuck that up.
Qaddafi may not have been your "average despot" to begin with, but ultimately, he exhibited the same pathology as any other modern dictator, down to the last stitch on his epaulets: a legacy of torture, oppression, and nepotism, bizarre and paranoid behavior, and a cult of personality that gutted the entire culture and left no room for anyone else to achieve even small things. In the end he was bonkers, as well. And his end was that of many before him: undignified and small, a corpse for triumphant citizens to drag through the streets and spit on. That's what happens to people like him if they don't kill themselves first, unless, like Mao, they created a system to outlast them. Mussolini, Ceaucescu, Saddam. I don't think his death is the large event being discussed here. I think it's too much of a piece with other situations like it. But, maybe he does represent a certain kind of dictatorship that is becoming outmoded. He's not the last of his kind, though.
There's no way of telling what the recent revolutions in the Arab world will bring, but they are very exciting. When I went to Egypt in 2009, it felt like a place hurting for change, though Egyptians are too polite to talk about that kind of thing in public to a foreigner. Sadly, I don't think the fundamentals have changed; when you're talking about a culture that old, it won't change in months. It will take decades, or more, I am sure. Now sectarian battles are breaking out. A lot of people are scared of the Muslim Brotherhood, and others are sure that they're salvation. And the same military as before is in power. No telling. I think of the place often and hold it close in my heart. I was disheartened by how obviously messed up it was - it was so clearly a country full of great people, that needs some help and some care, not a kleptocracy.
Still, it's really good that people have tasted their own power. That entire region was and is hurting for it. So many disenfranchised people, so much inequality, so many problems.Big events...well, who mentioned popcorn? I like mine with curry.
