"Surrendering the Separation"

Q. Hi, Jach. The September workshop in LA, "Lemurian Nights," was beyond words, beautiful, and profound. Lazaris talked of "surrendering the separation." They were talking of the "I" and the "me" and to experience rather than describe the experiences. Can you talk a bit more about that?

Jach:

LOL ... Boy, I wish I could! [vbg]

Admitting that I don't know that much about it, let me say this [s]: The concept of surrender is older than old. Click for more...

Jach:

There is a strong connection between beauty and healing, I think ... But I don't think it is immediately obvious. When I think of what you ask, I think about what Lazaris has said about what beauty can do in our lives. Click for more...

"An Exploration of Oneness"

Q. What are the differences between Union and Oneness? Seems like Oneness is more connected with divinity.

Jach:

Certainly they are connected, and often the terms can be interchangeable in our language, but there are differences, I think.

First, union has to do with conscious creation ... creating alliances for mutual benefit. It has to do with creating a concordance or a connecting, or linking, of the heart and also of the soul (I think). It has to do with bonding as well as with binding together. In all this, union implies separateness. In the alliances of union there is still you and me ... there is also an us, but there is still you and me. In the alliances there are still parts that are gathered, collected, and combined. Click for more...

"The Tiers of Emotion"

Q: Jach, would you care to comment on working with the Tiers of Emotion?

Jach:

Tiers of Emotion ... During the evening workshop Lazaris talked about charting the new course for the future and for the world. Cutting to the core of it, he pointed out that the key to charting the new course was in visioning. It all begins with vision; it all begins with visioning. I find that so incredible and so amazingly powerful. It all begins with vision. Vision is the light or the Light. It is a state of mind or a state of being that is exceptional in its utter and sublime beauty.

Vision is the light, and function follows the light. Function, our function, follows the light, and thus it follows the vision ... OUR vision. Ha! Function follows vision/light. And form follows function. If we want to change something, vision it. Lazaris said it so much better.[s] Click for more...

"Encountering the Dark Wood"

Q. Jach, please would you talk about the Dark Wood? I have seen only short references to it.

Jach:

The Dark Wood ... Lazaris first referenced the Dark Wood when he talked about the mystery, the magic, and the power of belonging. It is third among our needs according to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. And belonging -- something we are born with, something that is challenged, and something that we lose -- is also a gift of the Ancients.

There are certain challenges to our sense of belonging. One of those challenges is our denial of our Dark Wood. That is, when we pretend that we don't have a personal Dark Wood, when we pretend that we are not in our own Dark Wood (when we are), our sense of belonging is challenged. With this denial, many things can go askew. One of them is that we drift away, and then farther and farther away, from our sense -- the power and the magic -- of belonging. Click for more...

"Glamours, the Muse, and the Sisters of the Cauldron"

Q: Having just returned from the Arthurian Legends Intensive, I was wondering if you could expand upon the "Glamours" - who/what are they and what is their relationship to the Muse and to us. During one meditation the Glamour of Compassion (in the 9th position?) came to me, but I know I don't really understand what that means or how I can make that significant and meaningful in my daily life. So, any hints and clues would be greatly appreciated!! BTW - what an incredible intensive - thank you!!!!!

Jach:

Lazaris first explored the Glamours in depth while working with the faerie realm. He points out that the Glamours do not belong to the faerie realm, but they are easier to encounter there.

The Muse are the "Sisters of the Fire." They are the energy or consciousness that is present in the igniting of the fires of passion and of creativity. They are present in the ignition of the fires of inspiration and change, as well. They are the god-being energies related to the fire element. Lazaris has talked of them often in workshops.

"Passion, Joy, and Fire Magic"

Q: At the Joy of Right Living Workshop, Lazaris talked about boundaries of belief (ceiling), floor (love), and walls of imagination and trust. Could you talk about ways you expand the walls of your imagination and trust?

"Magician's Tool Chest: Magic and the Mystic Mills"

Q: At several events Lazaris has been speaking about the Living Matrix of Magics. Could you explain its importance and function? Also, how are the Mystic Mills and Crystal Grids connected with it?

"Light Beings and Beings of Light"

Question:  What is the difference between Light Beings and Beings of Light?

"Working in the Liminal with the Elements"

Question: Lazaris characterizes the Liminal in terms of chaos, order, the Elements and vulnerability. Would you discuss what is meant by order, both imprisoning and liberating, as well the elements, both wild and wonderful?

"Thoughts on the Arthurian Legends #1"

The Great Circle and the Secrets of the Round

The Glamours and the Sisters of the Cauldron

Merlin Energies

Q: Hi, Jach! Could you say something about the Arthurian legends and how they relate to our current spiritual quests?

"An Invitation to Magicians"

This evening (Wednesday) I was talking with a dear friend about the final meditation from the most current workshop: The Great Work: Reuniting Human and Faerie Magicians. Though my details were sketchy, she suggested that it might be neat to share this meditation through email so that others who were not at the workshop could participate in this working of magic.
