We are moving from manifesting in linear time
to manifesting in spherical time.
This affects the way we live and the way we create.
We are learning to create spherically, from multiple directions,
...

We are being synchronized with a new, divine timing these days. ..
Manifesting is going to be much quicker than we can think.
We will create solely with intuition- our hearts. ....
This new creation mode
is moving faster than we can create at this time;
thus the need for the divine timing synchronization.
When we link up to our new heart center [Rachel: why "new"?],
we will find that manifesting will take off
in original and multi-dimensional ways,
and we will keep pace with the universe.

Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die,
it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit

I've experienced, learnt and healed so many things since the last entry,
I've also begun a new stage in realizing my
"Peace-through-Hosting-Healing-Economy-in-the-Desert",
and the lack of "system" in what I record here - for my own benefit in some future - causes feelings of frustration and regret.
So be it! I'll breathe and integrate these and other constantly upcoming feelings, while editing Jim Leonard's article for my own use.
I've not met Jim Leonard in person, but his teaching-training reached me, when I worked as a guest lecturer in Berlin in winter 1986-7,
"Vivation" prepared me for my contact with "Right Use of Will" and later "Godchannel.com", which first "happened" on December 1986.

VIVATION: THE SKILL OF HAPPINESS
see about "VIVATION" also in puzzle piece 17c

ARTICLE BY JIM LEONARD
Copyright © 1994–2004, Jim Leonard

Happiness means enjoying life.
Happiness is a skill.
As with other skills, you can get better at it.
There are two separate skills involved in living well.
One is the skill of achieving your goals.
The other skill is something most people never think of as being a skill:
the skill of enjoying what you already have.
Although getting what you want is obviously important,
the skill of being happy right now is even more important.
You'll be more successful at achieving your goals
if you know how to be happy at every step along the way.
You won't dissipate energy on friction.
You'll be alert to unexpected opportunities.
And you'll generate enthusiasm continuously,
which will move you powerfully toward your ultimate fulfillment.

...

First of all, what you've got is the present moment.
That's all you've got and that's everything there is.
That you exist to be experiencing anything at all
is vastly more significant
than any particular thing you might experience.

"Demonstration of rare sympathy amidst Bedouin" I've no time to explain why this image is so important in my life now.

...
most people think they can feel happy only under special circumstances,
when everything is going their way.
They expend their energy
wishing things were different,
struggling to make things different,
or trying to escape from their feelings about things being the way they are.
What a lot of needless suffering!

Your degree of happiness is determined
by your attitude about what happens in your life,
not by the things themselves, that happen.
Every adversity contains the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.
Finding the good buried within the unpleasant is an art.

I have known many people with severe physical disabilities who were happier than most able-bodied people.
I'll never forget the time a college friend of mine, paralyzed from the neck down, told me
that because of what he'd learned about life from being quadriplegic,
he was grateful he'd had his accident!
What he had learned is that existence itself is infinitely valuable.

...

Dance with Energy [2014, I had to delete this image to make room for more important ones on this page]

The only thing absolutely necessary for your happiness is your own existence.
However, you only experience happiness to the degree
that you allow yourself to receive,
in the depth of your being,
the good available in the present moment,
with everything exactly the way it is.
Again, this is a skill and you can get better at it.

In order to not enjoy something,
you must block your awareness of what is good about it, ...


The term I use for this is make-wrong.
[Godchannel.com uses the term: "to judge" and constantly advises us "to release judgments"]
You make something wrong when you compare it to an imaginary standard,
such as how it should be,
how you wish it were,
what somebody else has,
how good things used to be back in the good old days,
and so on.

... This does not mean you give up making things better; quite the opposite.
But consider this:
Even if you succeed at making things better five minutes from now,
that does you no good right now.
Only your ability to improve your relationship to things as they are right now can make you happier.

Your relationship to what you are experiencing is called the context in which you hold the experience.
Whenever you experience anything, you hold it in one particular context,
just as whenever you look at something, you see it from one particular perspective.
You can change contexts or perspectives quickly, but you can only use one at a time.
It is impossible to think about anything without having a context.
You can either choose your context consciously,
or you can let your subconscious mind choose your context for you.

Everything about the way something affects you is determined by the context in which you hold it.
You can hold anything in a context that makes you inspired and creative,
or you can hold the same thing in a context that makes you helpless and depressed.
You always have the choice.
Negativity can be defined as contexts that reduce your happiness.
A negative context is any context in which you compare something to an imaginary standard
and decide that what you are imagining would be better than reality.

To clarify this point,
you only make something wrong and cause yourself problems
by telling yourself that what you're experiencing
should be different from how it is right now.
Suppose you are building a house and are looking at a vacant lot with piles of lumber and building materials.
There is no limit to how happy you can be as long as it's OK with you that the house is in your future,
and wood, nails, and plans for hard work are in your present.
But if you tell yourself it's July and the job should be done by now,
then you are separating yourself from reality and needlessly reducing your happiness.

A positive context is any context in which you embrace reality as it is,
without comparing it to an imaginary standard.
A positive context not only makes you happier than a negative context,
it also makes you more effective.
When you are holding your current situation in a positive context,
you are focusing on what's useful,
instead of complaining about how bad things are.
Additionally, a positive context increases your motivation
since it enables you to be motivated by enthusiasm.
People often expect negativity to be a good source of motivation, but it is not.
If negativity really motivated people,
then the most negative people would be the most productive.
What actually happens is that the most negative people commit suicide and produce nothing.
Cultivating enthusiasm increases motivation and productivity.
Every shift from focusing on what-isn't-there-that-should-be-there
to focusing on what-is-there-that's-useful,
produces a creative breakthrough,
a quantum leap in effectiveness.

Once people have decided that something is bad or lacking in some way,
they often have difficulty changing to a positive context.
The purpose of this article is to describe a simple method
for making this shift quickly and reliably,
a process you can use in your day-to-day life,
a process called Vivation.

...

You have feelings about everything.
Whenever you give your attention to a particular thing,
be it external or internal,
you feel something about it.
The feeling you get is specific.
You get a different feeling for each different thing you consider.
For example, when you think about different people,
you get a different feeling about each one,
and you get yet another feeling when you think about a plate of spaghetti.

Whenever you make anything wrong,
you simultaneously make your corresponding feeling wrong.
This simply means that whenever you find fault with something,
you get an unpleasant feeling in your body.
However, when you stop making that thing wrong,
your corresponding feeling not only stops hurting,
it becomes a source of pleasure.
Here's the most important idea in this whole article:
By changing your relationship to your feeling about something,
you change your relationship to the thing itself.

Vivation gives you the skill
to tune in your feelings,
experience them vividly
and enjoy them!
Enjoying an unpleasant feeling is much easier than it sounds.
People talk about their negative emotions as though they don't enjoy them,
but they act as though they do enjoy them.
For example, most people would say they don't like feeling afraid,
yet scary movies do billions of dollars of business every year.
If people didn't enjoy sadness they wouldn't listen to sad songs.
If they didn't like feeling angry they wouldn't watch the news.
Words like sadness and fear are only labels, anyway,
applied by the mind to a physical experience.
The feeling of aliveness in the body is always pleasurable,
even when the aliveness takes the form of an emotion
provided you don't resist feeling the emotion.
By feeling your emotions honestly,
while enjoying your aliveness unconditionally,
you produce tremendous benefits for yourself.

...
Ceasing to make an emotion wrong
causes the feeling to integrate into your sense of well-being.
All the unpleasantness spontaneously disappears
and you gain a fresh and positive perspective on whatever the feeling was about.
Because Vivation causes something that had seemed bad
to integrate into your sense of well-being,
we call the result of Vivation integration.
Integration means
giving your attention to what you have been making wrong
and receiving all of the good it has for you.

You can integrate anything in your life that has been bothering you
and you have a choice about how you do it.
You can integrate something mentally by choosing a positive context for it.
Or, you can integrate it physically
by embracing the feeling it produces in your body.

Integrating at the feeling level is better in many ways.
Feeling is immediate and thinking is not.
You can feel and integrate your emotions about something instantaneously,
whereas using your mind
to try and figure out what's good about it
might take a very long time.

A benefit of working at the feeling level is that feelings are inherently honest.
Mentally, you can confuse yourself for years at a time,
but your honest feelings stay with you.

Another benefit of processing at the feeling level is
that you can feel the integration happen.
Mental processes often leave a lingering doubt
about whether you have done enough to achieve a lasting result.

In Vivation,
you focus right on the feeling that has been troubling you
and you feel the exact moment it integrates.

Finally, a tremendous benefit of working at the feeling level is
that you can use breathing
to enhance your ability to integrate your feelings.

Vivation utilizes a specific breathing skill
to connect you consciously with the good that is present in all your feelings.
The breathing itself does not cause the result;
integration is caused
by exploring and embracing the feeling.
The breathing skill helps enormously by developing an energy-level rapport with the feeling.
Learning to harmonize your breathing with each feeling as it comes up
makes exploring the feeling and enjoying it much easier.

When people don't know how to integrate their feelings,
they suppress the feelings they find unpleasant.
Suppression does not make feelings go away.
Suppressed feelings remain active in the mind and body,
causing behavior and situations
that recreate the very emotions the person is trying to escape.

Vivation enables you
to gently and voluntarily
reexperience your suppressed feelings
and integrate them.

The skill of Vivation has Five Elements:

Circular Breathing
Complete Relaxation
Awareness in Detail
Integration into Ecstasy
Do Whatever You Do Willingness is Enough
... Every Vivation Professional has the goal of teaching you to use Vivation by yourself in your day-to-day life.
In your first Vivation session, your Vivation Professional will lead you through some experiential exercises to teach you the Five Elements.
Then, with his or her support and guidance, you will Vive, giving yourself a fascinating and deeply pleasurable experience.
At first you'll Vive lying down or sitting. After a few sessions,
you'll learn to Vive while engaging in other activities,
which is called Vivation in Action.
From then on you can use Vivation anytime, anywhere
to cause emotional resolution and creative breakthrough.
Vivation also makes what you're already enjoying even more pleasurable.

Nach einigen Wochen hoerte ich, dass dies das letzte Auftreten von Hakohen nach vielen Jahren, die er gesendet hatte, war. - Als ob die ganze Welt sich fuer diese Sekunde vorbereitet hatte, damit ich, ich die Botschaft vernahm, die Botschaft der Schlange: Wenn einer Autoritaet hat und die Autoritaet entfaellt ihm!!!


Ich pruefte meine Angst: die Angst vor dem Wort "Rachel, die herrschsuechtige", und wie ich immer fuerchtete, ich wuerde meine Berufung sabotieren, naemlich die Berufung, "das ganze Volk Gottes zu Propheten zu machen", Numeri 11:29 ((naemlich zu solchen, die wie Mose die Verantwortung fuer alle auf sich zu nehmen faehig sind - lies das ganze 11. Kapitel in 4. Buch Mose, es ist der Hoehepunkt seines muehsamen Lernens, seine Berufung anzunehmen, aber auch der Hoehepunkt seines Verstaendnisses seiner Berufung - ich muesste Dir da eine Bibelstunde geben von Exodus 2 an, aber vielleicht kennst Du die Stufen von Mose's Drama selber)), Propheten, naemlich verantwortlich fuer sich selber, stark und frei. Und weil ich Angst hatte, enthielt ich mich des Gebrauchs meiner Autoritaet. Ich versuchte, sie zu verbergen. Und das Ergebnis? der hinterlistige Biss! Die Autoritaet wirkte im Geheimen, und ihre Schatten wurden lang: immer die Abhaengigkeit auf der einen und das Sichauflehnen auf der andern Seite bei meinen sogenannten "Partnern" . Aber die Auflehnung geschah im Verborgenen, Undeutlichen, mit Gefuehlen der Schuld und Scham, und auch die Abhaengigkeit verursachte grossen Schaden im Geheimen, ohne dass ich dafuer die Verantwortung uebernehmen konnte. ((ich hoffe, Du kannst Beispiele aus deinem eigenen Leben dafuer finden. Kraft zur Wharhaftigkeit fehlt Dir ja nicht)).

Am andern Tag, Sylvester, erschied die Schlange zum letzten Mal. Wir sassen bei Mirjam Goldberg, um ueber das juedische Gebet zu lernen, und Freunde erzaehlten von einer Hausschlange, einer kleinen, die ihnen entwischt war.

Habe ich die Botschaft verinnertlicht? Noch nicht. Das neue Jahr kam, 1984. Im Losungsbuechlein meiner Mutter sehe ich, dass der Text zu diesem Tag - der sowohl ein Sonntag als Neujahr ist - Lukas 4, 14-20 ist. Ich hatte gehofft, eine Prophezeiung fuer das neue Jahr zu finden, aber ich hatte ja eine Ahnung, worum es sich in diesem Kapitel handelte, ohne dass ich es aufsschlug, und war enttaeuscht; "Das ist nicht fuer mich". Aber vielleicht irre ich mich? Vielleicht handelt es sich doch um eine andre Geschichte im selben Kapitel? Ich oeffne es, aber es ist genau die mir verhasste Geschichte:

Und er kam nach Nazareth, wo er geboren war, und ging nach seiner Gewohnheit am Schabbat in die Synagoge und stand auf, um zu lesen. Es wurde ihm das Buch des Propheten Jesaja gegeben, und indem er es oeffnet, fand er eine Stelle wo geschrieben stand: "SEIN Geist ist auf mir~~~ den Gefangenen Freiheit zuzurufen und den Gebundenen 'Oeffne-oeffne' (Jesaja 61, 1). Er schloss die Buchrolle (und wandte sich an die wartende Menge): "Heute erfuellt sich diese Schrift vor euren Augen!"

Ich reagiere wie all die Male, da ich in meinem Leben auf diese Geschichte stiess: wer kann so bloed sein und so provozierend? Es ist doch kein Wunder dass sie ihn vertrieben: "Du, der Josefssohn, der Schreiner, wir kennen dich doch von Kindheit auf! Was schwaetzt du da daher?" Und er bemitleidet sich noch selber; "Es ist kein Prophet in seiner Vaterstadt".

Der erste Tag des neuen Jahres ging vorueber, und die Geschichte wurde vergessen. Am andern Tag kam Meira zu Besuch [2014: For many years I didn't think of Meira, the polio-stricken friend, but 2 days ago Yanina mentioned her mother Gila and so I asked about Meira. Yanina didn't know anything about her except that she lives with her parents at Ramat-Hadar]. Auch sie ist ein Mensch, der es schwer hat, Verantwortung fuer seinen "Schatten" zu uebernehmen, weswegen ich ihr die Schlangengeschichte erzaehlte Noch bin ich beim Erzaehlen, da schlug es wie der Blitz bei mir ein! Die Geschichte des Mannes aus Nazareth in Nazareth - enthaelt sie nicht die Schlangenbotschaft?

Um dies zu pruefen, lese ich am Abend Mona die Geschichte in der franzoesischen Uebersetzung vor. "Sagt dir das was?" frage ich, und sie sofort: "Natuerlich! da ist ein Mensch, der hat Macht, und er legt die Macht auf den Tisch!"


Der Kreis hatte sich geschlossen: die fuenf grauenvollen Schlangen auf dem Kuechentisch und der Mensch, der seine Autoritaet auf den Tisch legte, waehrend ich sie unter dem Tisch verberge, ich, die ich den Herrschaftsstab nicht halte, weder offen noch verbogen, und die daher den Dunkelkraeften "Freiheit" zurief [Js 61,1 steht "dror" fuer "Freiheit", darauf reimt sich "shkhor"-das Schwarze" ] anstatt den Gefangenen und Gebundenen.

(at that time I still had no idea about "denial")


(Monate spaeter lernte ich, dass in der juedischen Zahlenmystik - jeder Buchstabe hat, auch im Alltag, einen Zahlenwert - die Summe der Buchstaben "maschiach" (Messias) gleich der Summe der Buchstabn "Nachasch" (Schlange) ist, naemlich 358. Nach einer fruehrabbinischen Interpretation kommt der Messias "heute - so ihr auf seine Stimme hoert" (babylonischer Talmud, Sanhedrin 91a, nach Ps. 95,7). D.h. der Messias ist das Symbol der Befreiung von dir selber. In jedem Moment - zwischen Ausatmen und Einatmen - mit jeder Vereinigung zwischen dem EINEN und der Schoepfung durch dich, durch mich, kommt der Messias. Das zu leben, ist meine Aufgabe.
