Field Notes: The Journey Continues
May 15, 2012

Sometimes the places we go only lead us to more elaborate doorways.

And it's not enough to simply walk through, open our hearts and begin again: brazen, curious and ready for the next challenge. That's not how it works. This is not a game we are playing here or a cosmic joke or some sort of existential bedroom farce, this is real life we are living; complete with crippling pain, spiritual triumphs, punishing regrets and hard-fought emotional lessons.

Certainly doorways are beginnings…that much is clear…but doorways are also endings. Something lost and something gained: it is the way of all things. And it is not for the faint of heart.

Lately I have heard a lot about these so-called 'star gates'. You know the ones I mean…where a dimensional 'doorway' is supposed to open up in the sky and rescue all of humanity. Or, without warning, an 'energy vortex' emerges from a hidden realm, beings-of-light in tow. Or, my particular favorite…'ascension chambers' are to be discovered in ancient stone structures and, oddly enough, secretly encoded into modern architecture. Nowadays it seems every New Age Guru with a map book and an eager travel agent has a guided tour to offer.

And, quite frankly, I am getting damn tired of the sales pitch.

The world, our spiritual place within it and our experience of this physical reality, has so much more depth to it than that. Star gates are personal and they are ancient. And here's a news flash for you…spiritual journeys do not take place outside of the soul, the heart or the mind. How could they? Geez.

Okay…okay: so I am a bit cranky today. It's just that these people make me nuts. Are they really that stupid? Is it just wishful thinking? Or are they really just trying to turn our spiritual fulfilment into a profitable fad?

Star gates exist inside all of us. This is common mystical knowledge. Star gates are profound personal events created through prayer, meditation and rigorous Chakra work. Only when we are truly ready will a 'star gate' or 'vesica piscis' open in our hearts, in our upper chests to be more precise. In the Christian tradition these events were referred to as 'the sacred heart'. Star gates are powerful moments of awakening that propel us headlong through the center of the Earth, into the liquid red core of the Sun and out into the far reaches of the cosmos. It is how space travel is done. It is how space travel has always been done.

Once you experience a star gate you are never the same again. It is a profound counter-clockwise whirling and a brilliant opening and a fast, rushing movement. It is both a journey and a communication. And once you come back from one of these experiences you can 'read' the ancient Egyptian and Sumerian symbols with relative ease.

The Egyptian hieroglyphs depicting a King standing in a boat, for instance, does not indicate travel in the river of the afterlife. Far from it. As are many two dimensional stone drawings, it is meant to be viewed from a different perspective, in this case from above. The shape of a boat, when viewed from overhead, is the same as the 'vesica piscis' that emerges from within the chest. It is the shape of spiritual transformation. So the King took a journey through his own 'star gate' or 'sacred heart'. The vessel, as it were, was within the King and not the other way around.

In Sumerian stone artworks, the large man carrying a caldron represents a celestial teacher delivering a 'golden droplet' to a lucky spiritual aspirant. Over time this droplet changes and grows and eventually becomes what has been called the 'Merkaba' or the 'light body' vessel. It is the same vessel as the King's boat. It is a 'star gate'.

And, believe me, it takes you places.

So never believe that a spiritual doorway is just any old doorway. These things are real. And they are available to anyone…ancient or modern…with enough passion, tenacity and desire to do the work. No passport required.

Sincerely,

Lasha,
A Blue Dragon
