The HorseWisdom Invocation

Bertie invokes the soul wisdom of ENSURING (to make sure, secure, certain or safe)

The HorseWisdom Invitation

What we don’t know, we cannot do and with this comes a sense of uncertainty and an invitation to lean into or lean onto something or someone. Eventually we come to realize that giving up is the giving of a way of what we considered a certainty to make make way for an intervention of forces that turn us inside out, revealing what will become a turn around into the focus of what essentially is, and has always been, right there.

Seeking your own reflection. Willing to go to any lengths to divest yourself of that which stands between yourself and your world. Seeking a path, a practice, a journey from an insulated way of life to a vitally engaged way of life, but hung up at the point of giving yourself completely over. Stalling for time, reaching for excuses, pulling in escapes and perpetuations of the status quo, you linger on the brink between one world and another. Propelled forward, but equally jerked backward. Destiny shall assert itself in a forward direction at the right time. And before that happens the drama of ‘will he, won't he?’ dominates consciousness and energy, keeping everything tense, fascinating, and hopeful.

Stripped of what we used to be in order to become what is calling us beyond. Not able to go back an inch toward the glories, the riches, the superfullness of what it used to be like. Propelled forcefully from within to rid the self of its habits, patterns, and beliefs, its expectations and assumptions, and its pervasive self-importance.The often-painful process of carving out a space for Spirit where self used to be. Doing this instinctively and naïvely. Barely knowing what’s involved. Just throwing self into the task of sifting through and discarding just about everything to get down to who we really are in the first place.The sometimes hysterical sequence of steps we go through in order to relieve ourselves of the baggage we carry and to generate a clean-slate world. We will try anything and take up everything, for there is this desperate asking for free space, for something different.The mostly basic, physical, and literal enactment of the soul drama, which can be seen as taking the modern adaptations and the conditioned frameworks, and at all costs pulling these off the primal, fresh soul. Spontaneous, free-flowing energies are sought. Anything that smacks of having been somebody special for too long is unceremoniously dumped at our earliest possible convenience.The extraordinarily multiple and quite chaotic serpentine journey to recover essence and never again fall for the promised attractive package. It’s not so easy or so fast to get all the way into this frequency, for it means that just about the entire self-structure, in any form, will sooner or later bite the dust.We seek to be free of ourselves. We insist on the possibility that we can be divested of whatever stands between us and this ultimate experience. We will waver. We will fall. And ultimately we will be proven right.

This degree carries innate knowledge that must come out, even if it isn’t acknowledged or accepted by others. As long as you can focus on what you need to do and let go of any apprehensions concerning the ramifications of your actions, you can live true to yourself. With this degree is a seeking of direct experience by divesting yourself of preconceptions and social conditioning, and by also letting go of preconceptions and agendas so as to have a full experience of what’s right there in front of you. This knowledge is feminine in nature - what is deep within - and requires masculine courage and gutsiness to give oneself completely, surrendering to the vulnerability of putting aside our defences to engage in complete and intimate communion with our emotions. This allows us to align with savouring the process of growth through generating intimacy that dissolves the illusion of the self’s limits and invites in support from the universe.

~ Gallbladder Channel Point 1, The Sun Before the Pass/Orbit Bone Hole Crevice ~ 

Virtues: This Energy Release Point empowers the ability to receive light that serves to bring clarity in our perception of vision. This particular light is a light of innocence, bringing the energy of childlike trust, where one feels supported and loved by spiritual beings as we begin the journey of life. It empowers decision making and strategic planning. It is the first point of the Gallbladder Energy Release Channel and therefore is symbolic of the first light of the first day of life. Light becomes a source of spiritual nourishment, and is available to us from our first breath onwards. This continual reception of light empowers the ability to move through passages of shadow and darkness, firm in the knowledge that light guides the way to goodness and benevolence. Unblocking and activating this Energy Release Point empowers discernment regarding the goodness of the inner nature of self, as well as bringing into clarity the vision of the Soul for the life journey. It serves to empower beneficial relationships with self and others. It is confidence, security and trust. It ensures the stability of alignment between our inner plan and our life events through accurate perception of our Soul’s vision. As one trusts their inner knowledge and place within community, living in harmony becomes the natural state of being.

Disharmonies: Instability due to the chaos of life events; frustration; being overcome by obstacles; irreconcilable differences between inner vision and what we see in the world; discouragement and discontent; relying too heavily on the advice of others; having an overly rigid, inflexible judgment on what is right or wrong; to see only one side of any given issue; intolerance; belligerence; inability to consider anyone else’s point of view. Physically these imbalances can manifest as heart conditions such as a heart attack or stroke, dizziness., cataracts and glaucoma, insensitivity or paralysis of the face. 

~ Divine Masculine Directive Governing Vessel Point 6, Central Pillar ~

Virtues: This Energy Release Point promotes a strong central pillar - physically related to the strength of our spine. It is to be upright, so that one’s inner strength is in direct alignment with the decisive commitment to honour and respect one’s Divinity and the I AM Presence. This renewed commitment to the Divine Will facilitates the Ascension process. The analogy is likened to Spirit as water flowing to the Ocean of the Soul and that they journey of elevated consciousness is being on a boat, whose strength and sturdiness is derived from one’s integral centre and alignment to the Divine
Will. Unblocking and activating this Energy Release Point ensures that actions taken, are done from being in alignment with one’s strong Central Pillar.

*this point holds connection to our spleen, where we alchemize through the rectifying of into right relationship; to come from the strength of being centred

Disharmonies:  Lack of centre; lack of will; low self esteem or self aggrandizement and/or self righteousness; the inability to live or take a stand for one’s beliefs or convictions; depression; physical pain in the spine where it feels as though one’s back is ‘breaking in two’; madness.

The HorseWisdom Initiation

Bertie initiates the journey into 12°Aquarius THE RELEASING OF PENT UP ENERGIES AS A WAY OF FURTHERING EVOLUTION

Tension and release. Contraction and expansion. The breath of the mind resolving its dualities. In order to make it possible for radical truths and significant realizations to come through, you must first karmically dramatize, inside the ego-mind and outside as well, the unbearable tension between opposing points of view. You enter upon disputes, advocate positions, set up heroes and villains. And then when your whole inner and outer world is packed with dilemmas, problems, arguments and battles, you become ready to seek out synthesis, to enter upon a cycle of restoring wholeness. During your experimental years, spice means everything. But during your maturity, there is no further mileage to be had in turning anything against anything else. Getting it that you made it all up in the first place, and that the rational mind delights in controversy but has its limits. When resolution comes, everything looks different. All of life turns around, and most particularly your relationship to yourself changes from the critic into the friend and respectful ally of your own inward intentions.

Tapping into that which has been held back and inhibited, we become inspired to allow and trust in the evolutionary forces that bring about shock or crisis as a way of clearing repressed or suppressed energies. It’s a wonderful thing to be serious and passionate about life, but not good when, through our attachments, we turn what’s important to us into a burden. Here is seeking to know what’s important to focus on, while learning to carry it lightly. Engagement of our own faith can prevent us from getting stuck on any single idea of how things should or need to proceed, as what had been held back is the very thing liberating our trust in the process.

Bertie’s YOD points to initiating the journey into 19 Capricorn

Karma bites into our present-day self and splits us down the middle. Our personal shadow draws back under with a fierce insistency. Our individual striving seeks a path forward, onward, upward, with a strident clamor of urgent desire to drown out the shadows and bring us to a manageable, controllable place to operate. The battle rages. If we are fortunate, the shadow will win. Only then do we have a chance.The ego self here is a construct, an outwardly propelled, mechanized creation intended to spare us the worst. What it actually does is suppress the symptoms of the old karmic disease. It believes that the best thing possible is to override all that stuff and get on with something useful.The deep shadow is overwhelmingly identified with past-life scenarios and their reenactments. Most of these carry the charge of being inescapable chains of events leading to more of the same. So it would seem that going back to these is foolish and futile. But this is not so.These karmic replays bear a very great potential. If we can see it, we can change it. If it takes many reenactments, then we’ve dug a deep hole before and will not get out of it by pushing it away. Only as we go back under is authentic experience reclaimed.The struggle is whether to face the self on whatever terms are presented, or deal with a harsh denial impulse that leads to outer accomplishment but inner emptiness. Karmic frequencies that have gone this far already indebt us to the law of cause and effect. We reap what we’ve sown; facing it or making it far worse.
