THE BLANK RUNE
by Nancy Nester
Welcome 2007 - That statement is made with enthusiasm by many of us as we say good-bye to 2006. One of the necessities this month is organizing paperwork, going through files and preparing those end of the year reports for corporate and personal tax returns. Going through receipts, cancelled checks, expenses and invoices is not that enjoyable. So when I was reminded that an article and a newsletter for January was due, I found the perfect excuse to leave the clutter on the dining room table.
I was going through stored files and boxes, still packed from selling both a house and a business last May. And then I found them - my Viking Rune Oracle Stones and 'The Rune Book' by Ralph H. Blum (St.Martin's Press, 1993) There are many interpretations for rune stones, all of them quite wonderful. I feel Blum writes his interpretations from such a positive perspective. For me, the use of intuitive tools (such as cards, stones, tarot or pendulums) serves not as a form of future-telling, but rather as confirmation of a knowing or understanding that may not yet be clearly in view. Sometimes this knowing is hidden from the conscious mind, yet is always present within the computer-like unconscious or subconscious mind.
Now here it was - a synchronistic opportunity to pull a Rune stone. What would 2007 bring? What life experiences do I choose to create this year? Dipping my hand down into the bag, my fingers moved around the invisible stones until finding just the right 'message'. Out it came. The rune side that appeared was blank, so I turned it over to reveal the Oracle. There was nothing on the other side - the stone was blank on both sides! I do not actually recall pulling out the Blank Rune in the past, so it was pure excitement to read the meaning:
"The Blank Rune - The Unknowable - The Divine in all Human Transactions:
Blank is the end, blank the beginning. This is the Rune of total trust...exciting evidence of your most immediate contact with your own true destiny...Relinquishing Control is the ultimate challenge for the Spiritual Warrior. Here the Unknowable informs you that It is in motion in your life. In that blankness is held undiluted potential. At the same time both pregnant and empty, this Rune comprehends the totality of being, all that is to be actualized. Drawing the Blank Rune may bring to the surface our deepest fears: Will I Fail? Will I be abandoned? Will it all be taken away? And yet our highest good, our truest possibilities and all our fertile dreams are held within that blankness. Willingness and permitting are what this Rune requires, for how can you exercise control over what is not yet in form? The Blank Rune often calls for no less an act of courage than an empty-handed leap into the void. Drawing it is a direct test of faith. The Unknowable represents the path of karma - the sum total of your actions and their consequences, the lessons that are yours for this lifetime. And yet, this Rune teaches that the very debts of old karma shift and evolve as you shift and evolve. Nothing is predestined: What beckons is the creative power of the unknown. Whenever you draw The Blank Rune, take heart: Know that the work of self-change is progressing in your life".
Welcome 2007. The year 2006 was for many, a year adding up to the number '8', or abundance, the sign of infinity. That is exactly what many have had - an abundance of experiences, a never ending supply of situations that for some, often resulted in a life that felt like one of pure survival.The shifts in consciousness and the changes in our own awareness often brought us face to face with our own creations, and not all of them were experiences we ever dreamed we could choose to create. Reflections on the past most always provide us with 20-20 insight. In the midst of our experiences however, we do not always have such clear vision. After all, which one of us would choose certain life situations if we knew the outcome or end result? How many of us would purposefully create the experience, if we had known how difficult, painful, fearful or challenging it would be?
"If you can look into the seeds of time and say, which grain will grow, and which will not, speak then to me" - William Shakespeare (MacBeth).
The year 2007 is a '9' year, a year that can mean completion, resolution and the returning to oneself. When I asked my self what helpful insights could be shared in an article or in a newsletter, my Self said 'The Blank Rune". So this message is for each of us. The Unknowable is our direct test of faith. Take heart - Know that all life experiences bring us to our present now - the creative power of our unknown future - the blankness of our undiluted potential. Happy New Year, Happy New Creations !

THE SPHERE OF CREATION
by Ken Page
For almost 18 years, Ken wrote and re-wrote his book 'The Heart of Soul Healing'. Chapter 22 provides us with valuable insight:
Pretend you are looking at a large sphere completely filled with shapes. The sphere symbolizes everything that can be created in the third dimension. Each shape represents a different collective consciousness; such as religion, abundance, education, love, health, sex, conflict, money, and war. Each consciousness is structured into a shape or vibration filling the entire sphere. There is little change or room for new creations.
Let’s say we want to create money and abundance in a magical, new way, but the old collective consciousness only allows one to create abundance in the old way. We may move out of the sphere, the normal way of creating abundance, and work ten times harder, but nothing will happen in that separate creation. It is very likely that we will fail, because we are not supported by the collective consciousness of how abundance has been created
What we need to do is go into the sphere and create around and in between the shapes that are already there. We need to find unused space in order to create in a new way. But I believe it’s almost impossible for us to create money or abundance the way we would like, because there is so little new space or energy available, and because people continue creating abundance in the old way, as defined by their culture, religion, and social values. If this creative space is all occupied by rigid ideas, how would we ever find free space to create abundance in a new way.
When there were fewer people on Earth and open frontiers, it was easier to create because more free space was available in the sphere of creation. Now there are billions of people and it is more difficult to create.
There is creative energy that exists just to give us abundance the way we choose it to be. We need to create in an unused space where the energy can flow to us. To access that space we first have to have compassion for all consciousness. We must learn that the key to creating is to stay focused and quiet in our minds, so that we do not get caught up in the chaos of different consciousnesses.
In my workshops, I use the following exercise to explain this concept. When we create, our energy creates a vibration that attracts a corresponding collective consciousness. Use the collective consciousness of religion, for example. There are thousands of different religions. I request three to four people to resonate a specific religion or philosophy, such as Judaism, Christianity, Muslim, Hinduism or Buddhism. Then I call pure creative energy from Source into the room. This is the energy that wants to support our creations. The atmosphere in the room immediately becomes chaotic, heavy, and uncomfortable. The room usually doesn’t feel good to the class, as the energy coming in is confused about what form to take.
I then instruct my class to center in their pineal glands, be in the moment, love themselves unconditionally and have compassion for the chaotic energy in the room. Then I ask them to breathe in through their noses and out through their mouths for three breaths. Everyone then feels the atmosphere in the room turn quiet and peaceful. The creative energy, which became chaotic when it encountered the projected religious consciousnesses of the religious groups, takes a new form when my class harmonizes and stops projecting different ideas.
I believe the world keeps projecting their religious ideas outwardly until all creation becomes chaos. Creation does not know what we want. I believe the collective consciousnesses of religion became totally in conflict with us. When this happens in the outer world, this energy would have to take a new form, exploding into religious chaos.
So, how could we create abundance in a new way in the sphere of creation without feeling the projected energy of what has already been created?
To successfully balance religions in a new way, we must center in our pineal gland. We must be open in our heart and soul, be in the moment, love ourselves unconditionally, and have compassion for all the existing ways of creating. If we love and experience all consciousness, it will reform around us, and we could create as we choose, because the creative energy will recognize our vibration as that of a new creator, creating in a new space, and flow through us.
When enough people love and have compassion for all of creation, creation is then able to take a new form and move out of chaos. I believe this is now happening, and we are on the cusp of accessing instantaneous creation. Want an apple, and an apple appears in your hand. Want shelter, and there is a place of comfort and warmth immediately available.
I believe that
those individuals who are becoming aware are creating a new dimension
of instantaneous creation and wisdom that allows
the heart and soul’s vibration to touch the world in a way
that all will be able to share.
MY SPHERE OF CREATION
In early 1999, my life again changed dramatically when all the things
I had been working on or studying came together during the last of
three teaching trips to Glastonbury, England. I woke up suddenly
at three in the morning. I closed my eyes to check the Akashic records.
The geometric patterns of the Akashic records dissolved and I was
enveloped in a brilliant, neon-blue light, which came together in
the center of my inner vision. I was in the presence of God, who
is actually the source of the Akashic records. The center of the
neon-blue energy was a little darker. It started to pulsate. I realized
that the pulsating eye represented me.
I felt myself being pulled into the center of Source. Then I was free falling through space and dropping into a vast pool of intense emotions. These emotions formed into distinct three-dimensional shapes representing every single thought given in the past, present, and future to the various collective consciousnesses created on Earth. I passed through these consciousnesses, while allowing myself to be one with them. The shapes flowed through me for four hours, finally merging into a single sphere, allowing space for a new creation.
As I noticed the sphere, I became it. My consciousness merged with the sphere, and as I was to discover in the following days, my perception and interaction with reality changed, also, allowing me to create in a timeless space. Old structures of consciousness can change when we have compassion for all creation. This new form of creation will allow us to create in different and magical ways, which I believe is the basis for instantaneous creation.
I believe that when we balance our fear and become peaceful, we help to change the collective consciousnesses. When we experience compassion for all of creation, we create a vibration that will allow the existing structures of creation to reform from chaos and confusion into a balanced, peaceful space called Heaven on Earth.
