Orion Wisdom

   From Elisabeth   Let me begin with an update on Mimi .  Three and half weeks in we have good  news! In the last few days, Mimi has made wonderful milestones.   She is fully conscious, can breathe on her own and speak softly.   Yesterday she ate some solid food – applesauce and eggs – and was able to sit in a recliner for awhile.   She is still in a step-down ICU unit and various devices and monitors – including her tracheotomy, medication port and feeding-tube will not be removed for a bit longer.   The next step will be a re-habilitation hospital with Traumatic Brain Injury specialty. I want to thank all of you who so graciously contributed to Mimi’s Go Fund Me page. As I said in my last post, I don’t manage the GFM page, but donors are visible at the page.   I sent my personal thanks to all of you I recognized. A couple people who donated anonymously let me know they did so. And if you contributed in this way, please accept ...

  My Dear Orion Circle , My summer ‘vacation’ is not quite that.     On July 17th ,  I had a total right knee replacement. Surgery went smoothly and I’m recuperating well with steady improvement through PT, although energy does fade.     Less than a week after surgery, I learned that my DearHeart step-daughter, Mimi Fitzhugh , was involved in a horrific car accident; her beloved MiniCooper hit by an uninsured drunk driver in a pick-up truck.   He is currently in jail. All our family energy has moved toward Mimi and her recovery.   As of now, although stable, she is still unconscious. She shows some responsiveness. She had 14 broken ribs, with both lungs collapsed, a skull fracture with a brain bleed that has not spread, fracture to C4, but fortunately not the spinal cord, fracture to the occipital eye bone but the eye is intact.  And yet, her brave soul and courageous heart keeps her with us and working to return to herself. Pleas...

It can be very supportive to really remember yourselves as part of the grand collective.  Some people find it disconcerting, at times, to be part of the grand collective.  At other times, when you are feeling in isolation or you are feeling overwhelmed or you don’t know how to muddle through a problem or a challenge, just keep tucked somewhere in your awareness that not only are you really not all alone in it, actually without your conscious awareness recognizing it, aspects of you are probably in communication.  They are already reaching out, trying to as they say, receive or bring in an answer, an insight, an idea.  You are already open to recognizing support.  So often we do see this flow of communication in that kind of thing we call coincidence of synchronicity.  ‘I was just thinking of you and the phone rang.’  ‘I didn’t know where to turn with this problem and suddenly I remembered something I was told a long time ago.’  And so on and so ...

  December is seen   as a season of Celebration. Celebrating hope. Celebrating emerging through a dark time. Celebrating Light We celebrate the ending of the year and welcome with celebration the beginning of the next. Light is a word that holds the energy of awareness; of seeing clearly; of seeing more. Light can represent the ineffable – the energy of Life that flows through us and connects us with all things.  Light is the flow of Unity. Unity ~ the interconnection of all things – calls us to see further. Unity calls us to carry empathy, to share hearts; even, perhaps especially , in times that are challenging and confusing.  But we also want to remind you to extend Unity consciousness to yourselves . Be kind and caring of your own ups and downs, your own foibles and confusions. Be gentle and remind your inner judges to hold you in compassion. When striving and ‘improving’ seems to not gain what your ideas desire, consider that there may be another way. ...

Elections! Important. Stressful. Worrisome. Overwhelming.  We feel an important thing is in  our hands and yet, we know our single vote may not effect the change we want. That fear of powerlessness can then lead to depressed feelings and even inaction. Instead of focusing on the desired outcome, perhaps we can consider the energetic  within the action itself; that the very doing , the ‘casting’ of the vote, has its own power and meaning in ways not clearly seen.  And ‘power’,   as in to create, to make,  reminds us that actions can move, can carry energy after the event; further than the event. Can set an environment for a next event. Can enhance a challenging event. When we vote, we are moving our principles into action.  And within the sphere of our circle of Orion friends, we see those principles anchored firstly in the core recognition of the Interconnectedness of All Things – Unity - the core principle of our sharing. From there spec...

Change is in the wind. Change is on the ground. Change rises up. Change crashes in. Change erupts. Change sneaks up. Change is beautiful and delightful. Change is powerful and disruptive. Change overwhelms and leaves you feeling weakened. Change rushes in and you meet it and it leaves you feeling strengthened.  Change happens when least expected. Change happens through your intent.  Change asks you to pause, breathe, and find what you need do next.   Change is the natural current of life; and in that,  most importantly, we have to hold our recognition of  that salient fact.  We have to find our way through  each iteration; those we set in motion and those that happen to us – by nature, by occurrence, by sweeps of political and social change.  By conflicts, by deception, by personal actions of others, by the vastness and randomness that is also part of life. Change happens and so often, it is not given to you to prevent it or be the direct ...

Dear Ones – Spring is arriving with the sense of possibility and new growth. Yet, we look around and see once again, that much is always happening in the world.  Difficulties, challenges, disasters.  If you were to review history, you would see variations on the present themes in all eras and ages.  In turn, each situation asks much of individuals, cultures, nations and the world.  Each adds its own element to the shape of the future and movements of life. Once again, you wonder, ‘How do I go with this next flow?’ In each era, explanations, considerations, inquiry are explored. Prophecies emerge, anodynes and solutions are offered; interpretations abound, truths are revealed. Revelations which are not true are offered as truth and the great dance of that which is known and that which is not known continues.  Remembering the ’long view’ supports us in balancing our responses and reactions in the present moment. To explore balancing and coping with that...

My Dear Orion Friends, It is with great sadness and a tender heart that I share with you the passing of Michael Gritz, my DearHeart friend, Brother & Sister in Spirit – fratello e sorella   nello spirito - as we called ourselves. Friend as family for 42 years. He died on Christmas Day at 67 years old. If you were in Washington, D.C. in the early days of the Orion work, you would have known Michael well. Michael was my ‘grounder’; the energy that supported me as I worked within the flow of the Orion consciousness.   Our meeting, which came through a mutual friend, Francine, preceded our public work with Orion.   Michael was the anchor that helped me navigate working with the Orion energy. In that, he was also part of the small group of friends who first were willing to listen to what the Orion consciousness shared. The principles explored with that first group, form the core of   ‘The Orion Material – Perspectives of Awareness.’ Our friendship grew and deep...

  Our Dear Ones, As the world seems awash in conflict and with it , paradox ~ seemingly opposite things happening at the same time, hold fast to your inner sense of the inherent Interconnection of All Things. Most of you may find yourself unable to impact many things in the greater world, but you can have an effect in your personal world. Reach out. Offer empathy and support.   See the ‘other’ as connected with you, perhaps in ways you cannot fully know, and from there, move into the world; holding and offering the recognition of such interconnection. Once again, we hold that this interconnection of all things, Unity, is, even as it is not recognized or acted upon by many. As you carry it with you in your felt-sense , you will share it from the being; without thought or concept. And in your willingness to share, we honor you and hold you all in deep appreciation. Gift the gift of Unity. Orion   As always, wishing all of you all good things. Elisabeth ...
