Fall Equinox 2022 Update!

Greetings friends! 

I have some pretty big news. My website, flightofthehawk.com is changing! 

Today I learned that my host, Network Solutions, accidentally deleted all of my website content and it is not recoverable.  Twenty five years worth....

So, in the spirit of rebirth, I will be creating a new website, most likely with a new name too! Stay tuned! 

Meanwhile, you can reach me directly at fothawk@gmail.com

Have a wonderful Fall Equinox :)

Essence Contact Q and A (Part one)

ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ESSENCE CONTACT
A Series of Questions and Answers 

QUESTION: Please comment on the ramifications of essence contact, including how it has an impact on both a person’s current life and those lives yet to come. What is it about essence contact that makes these rather expansive reverberations possible?

Michael: We will start by saying the essence contact is perhaps the single most relevant  experience to essence growth while on the physical plane and beyond. By this we mean to say that while fragments are incarnate as humans, those fleeting moments of essence contact which is experienced between two fragments "soul to soul" and without the constraints of the personality, are gems in a sea of physical plane strife and conflict. This is not to imply that all experiences on the physical plane are full of conflict, but rather to state that it is the physical plane that offers the most strident examples of fear and turmoil and the joyful experience of essence contact is in stark contrast to the fear and pain that many fragments experience ongoing. When a fragment is able to let down their guard if only for a moment in order to meet another fragment soulfully, then it is during those briefest of moments that the fragment can remember that he or she is part of a greater whole and that separateness is an illusion.

The release of the personality is not usually sustainable due to the impact of the outer world and the necessity of having a vehicle through which to interact. It is through the experience of the higher centers that essence contact occurs, and these higher centers are accessed through the moving center. This process does not imply that fragments need be moving physically in order to achieve contact and higher centered foci, but rather that there does need to be an expansion into these centers in order for the personality to drop away.

Once essence contact occurs between fragments it can never be denied on an essence or soul level. However it is often the case that the personality denies the experience because it is too frightening except for those fragments who seek spiritual growth, and even then the experience is often questioned and or relegated to the "well maybe something happened" arena. When validation does occur on a personality level, and especially when both fragments are able to mutually validate the experience, then exponential growth occurs and each fragment has more access to the positive poles of the overleaves and to the life task, whatever that is. And when this ability is reached and realized in a specific lifetime, then that ability carries forward into subsequent incarnations if the fragment chooses to make use of this ability. Older souls, who in our estimation are mid-cycle mature and on, in level, often can remember these experiences when in contact with those fragments with whom they have shared in the past, and this is especially so with essence twins, task companions, cadence and entity mates.

We will remind you that essence contact is not complicated. This does not mean it is easily attained and in fact cannot be "grasped" with intention but can be a "possibility" so long as a fragment is open to it and does not resist it when it occurs. There is no failure here and no expectations. There are many possible moments for essence contact and can often occur when the fragments involved are not seeking it, but are open to it. It is receptivity that is the key here and not "effort". END

Changing Your Life Direction:  Course Corrections

EXCERPT FROM "SPIRITUAL TURNING POINTS: A METAPHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE SEVEN LIFE TRANSITIONS"

"Our essence has an interesting way of creating realignment

with its purpose and one way that it does that is through course

corrections. For example, we may be planning on entering a four-year

advanced study of electronics but learn at the last moment that

the school we were going to attend has been overbooked and we

are now off the roster. If we hold to the opinion that this school was

the only school that would work, or the best school, then we are

scripting the outcome through surety of our choice. But how do we

really ever know that our choice is the absolute best or “right” one?

We can’t. Only in retrospect can we see that our long and winding

path through life took many turns but was always moving forward

even when we felt it had stopped. There are times, however, when

a major course correction is needed from a soul essence point of

view and that no matter how hard it tries to get our attention, we

just aren’t listening.

Laurie was a professional photographer. From roughly the age

of ten she had been taking snapshots and putting them into books,

carefully noting the who, what, and where by each picture. As she

grew older, her love of the camera developed into her work when she

got the job of her dreams as the head reporter and photojournalist

for a local newspaper. After ten years, however, she had, in her mind,

learned all she could and was ready to move on, but by then she

had two young sons and a husband who had just lost his job, so

she stayed at the newspaper, becoming more and more depressed

and literally unable to get out of bed some days.

From an essence perspective, Laurie was ready to move toward

a new line of work through which she would find more creative

self-expression. After several months of incapacitating lethargy,

she found her way to a talented therapist who was able to guide

her toward the real reasons she was hesitant to change jobs and it

wasn’t what she thought at all; it had more to do with her fear of new

situations. What I hadn’t mentioned before is that at the age of twelve,

Laurie’s father had died. He had been her cheerleading team and

emotional support, and when he died she became determined to

make him proud and what better way than to become a professional

photographer? What had started as a childhood hobby, albeit an

enjoyable one, was now a near obsession to follow the path her father

had encouraged. Plus, with an unemployed husband and children who

depended on her, how could she be so selfish as to take risks with a

new career? Well, Laurie did figure it out. She is now sixty-two, and

has thoroughly enjoyed teaching art to children for the past twenty

years. She navigated through a course correction with the help of

a good advisor, her therapist, and the support of her husband who did,

after all his misgivings, suggest she follow her new dream.”
