Patterns are defined as a consistent and recurring characteristic or trait that helps in the identification of a phenomenon or problem, and serves as an indicator or model for predicting future behavior. Oh boy, now I can use my patterns to predict my future behavior (tee hee). If you’re like most people, it’s easy to predict a response to certain situations. But what about those times when you behave in a way that seems out of character or reflects an unhealthy pattern?
Consciousness influences patterns or behaviors in a way that is sometimes beyond our understanding. Any response that becomes identified as a pattern can be linked to emotions that we didn’t even know were there. As we learn the lessons that become part of the overall experience, it is the patterns of behavior that become part of our identity.
Olive Sacks expressed: “To live on a day-to-day basis is insufficient for human beings; we need to transcend, transport, escape; we need meaning, understanding, and explanation; we need to see overall patterns in our lives. We need hope, the sense of a future. And we need freedom (or, at least, the illusion of freedom) to get beyond ourselves, whether with telescopes and microscopes and our ever-burgeoning technology, or in states of mind that allow us to travel to other worlds, to rise above our immediate surroundings.”
Let’s rise together with a whisper:
Planetary movements, emotions, events, traumas, relationships, and karma exert their influence to create soul patterns. Each person expresses themselves by how they identify with being in the world. Soul patterns create the structure of consciousness, leading to behavioral responses forming a chain of responsibility. That chain can be a burden or a healthy connection to love, depending on the patterned response.
History has a tendency to repeat, and patterns become part of a mechanism that reflects anything perceived as similar to the original conditions that created the first response that led to a pattern. To change an unhealthy pattern or a behavior that is not aligned with core vibrations requires conscious awareness as the first step toward transcendence, and the willpower to craft change. Healthy changes and movement away from unhealthy patterns facilitate soul growth.
The life experience and the Universal Laws that support patterns are part of a Cosmic design that offers expansion at a soul level. Knowledge does not necessarily guarantee understanding, but taking responsibility leads to understanding, wisdom, and acceptance. Those virtues can create the shift of perception needed to form positive changes.
Awakening to the highest levels of growth in this lifetime requires focus on the occasional personal inventory. The opportunity for accepting individual responsibility occurs in the realm of testing, which is the Earth Realm. Raising spiritual vibrations presents the opportunity to move away from any unhealthy patterns, toward alignment with core values. Change in conditions, with a refusal to commit anything void of love, instills patterns that hold the highest potential to successfully evolve at the soul level.
Bring joy, ease suffering and create beauty, then dance like you mean it!

“There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will.
There are no variables.”
