The Path Through the Forest

Altazar Rossiter

Few people are at ease with the general direction that the world seems to be headed in right now. There is chaos, conflict and confusion everywhere. This chaos has all the characteristics of a healing crisis. You know the kind, where it looks bad before it gets very bad, before it gets better. Climate change is a fact. The ice sheets are melting and sea levels are rising. Arresting this is almost certainly beyond the scope of current technology. In the face of this there’s a distinct lack of political initiative to prepare for the consequences. Destruction of the ecosystem proceeds unabated, through profit motive, out of site of the mainstream media. A mass extinction event is taking place. Two thirds of the animal species that were present on the planet in 1970 have disappeared. The right-wing politics of separation, division, fear and scapegoating… Read moreThe Path Through the Forest

Invisible Influences

Altazar Rossiter

It’s almost certain that you are influenced by, and influencing, others all the time. It’s a simple consequence of the fact that fundamentally everything is energy, including you and me, and energies mix, merge and react with each other. We are all little transmitters and receivers, just like the mobile phones we carry around with us. You beam your message into the world from the organ that generates the most powerful electromagnetic field in your body – your heart. A mobile phone is a consciously regulated appliance, directed by your intent to connect with someone else, or by their intent to contact you. But the invisible messages your heart sends and receives are unconscious and unregulated. These messages interact and interfere with each other, and just like the conventional telecommunications signals we utilise every day, without regulation they degenerate into chaos. This unruly interaction… Read moreInvisible Influences

The Power Struggle

Altazar Rossiter

Human history is characterised by an incessant quest for power and control. The root of this is fear, and it’s been the dominant paradigm of our existence for age upon age. This paradigm is now crumbling around us. It’s reached its “Sell by” date. However, this does not stop vast numbers from trying to hang onto it. The new paradigm has not yet formed. It’s still in the realm of the unknown, which qualifies it in some ways as something to fear. Approaching the new paradigm from a place of fear is not going to work. It has to be born out of a raising of consciousness, emerging from within. That birthplace is the heart and to open the channel requires courage and commitment. Traditionally leaders have risen to positions of power by beating their rivals into submission. In ancient times it was the… Read moreThe Power Struggle

The Power of the Spoken Word

Altazar Rossiter

It’s widely accepted that words have power. But if they do, where does that power come from? The power of words, and the language we use, in structuring the reality we live in has a long tradition shrouded in mystery. Few give this principle any credibility because we so seldom seem able to create a reality we want, but it’s an idea that has persisted through the ages. For those of you brought up in a culture that exposes you to some form of Christian teaching, there’s a biblical significance attached to the concept that words have power. Even if you reject the religious aspect, the principle somehow sticks. Various other creation stories also rest on the concept of a sacred word, or sound, calling the world into existence. So what’s the relevance of this for the modern world? Naming and Identification The principle… Read moreThe Power of the Spoken Word

The Flowering of Consciousness

Altazar Rossiter

Re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul. ~ Walt Whitman Awakening More and more people are beginning to awaken to themselves as they figure out the inherent emptiness of a life rooted in mainstream beliefs and practices. The experience of life is not generally enhanced by anything promoted in the media or traditionally held as the limits of reality. None of it is enough, and most of it’s a distraction from what’s really important. This phenomenon is driving the quest for deeper meaning in our lives and the rejection of the forms of existence permitted by the dominant ideologies of civilisation as we know it. It also fuels much of the extremist fundamentalism manifesting in opposition to the historically determined righteousness of the imperialist age and its ruling classes. Those… Read moreThe Flowering of Consciousness

The Seduction of Safety

Altazar Rossiter

This phrase ‘the seduction of safety’ occurs in Mary Oliver’s poem The Journey and it suddenly struck me as identifying a significant problem for many of us. That problem is the belief that the world is a dangerous place, and it’s not safe to be here actually alive in a physical body. This belief informs the matrix of existence here on earth, almost universally. It gives rise to a culture of fear that supports notions of ‘security’ on an industrial scale. It might even be dangerous to read this article.
