(transcript of the December 2002 Bone Throwing on Transitions Radio
Magazine hosted by Alan Hutner and Elizabeth Rose.)
ALAN: It’s time now for our infamous Bone Throw with Kay Cordell
Whitaker. The tradition of actually asking a question and then throwing
a set of Bones from different spirit nations that answer the question in
some way based on the layout of the Bones on the floor of the studio
right now as we talk. Kay can also be reached personally for Bone Throws
at 505-466-3387.However, it’s time now for a holiday question, with a
little bit of introduction here. As we head into Christmas and the New
Year 2003, we are faced with great intensity. The times ahead seem
fraught with more conflict, polarization, and imminent threat of war.
The holidays echo the request for peace on earth and goodwill to
humanity, yet there apparently is not enough intention of that thought
and deed to stem the tide of governments, leaders, despots, and
dictators, from sending their respective troops, and civilians, into
offensive and defensive modes for the days ahead. Call it terrorism,
call it justice.
How do we, at this time, create a change? And our question on this
very special holiday show is about how to create more peace, moderation,
negotiation. How do we best pray for this? How do we, as individuals
listening now, and collectively, harness the power of our hearts and
minds to influence those people in positions of authority and decision
making? How do we send out powerful prayers and thoughtforms to create
peace? Even sending it to those who wish violence and conflict for
change. That’s the question.
KAY: The Bones start out talking about where we have gotten ourselves.
We are currently in a state of confusion, aggravation, on a global
scale. There is an enormous - like a fog - a dense, stinky, black fog,
that we are currently living in. And we don’t see anything past our own
nose. We make lots of assumptions about ourselves, about everyone and
everything else around us. And our culturalization in this fog is to be
suspicious and paranoid. To judge everything. Everything and everybody
that’s outside of self and outside of our self group, our current social
group that we are engaged with.
In order to make things different, to begin to change that enormous
pollution, we have to make a choice. We’re in The Time Of Choice. The
Plumed Serpent is in a very auspicious landing on this ground, and it’s
talking all about the time that we’re in and approaching. We’ve been
waiting for it for centuries. People have been talking about it for
centuries. And this really ultimately is our Time Of Choice. We can
continue what we are doing now, and end up in a bigger cesspool than
we’re already in, or we can actually begin to change our focus, change
what we choose to think about, feel, speak about, take action on. The
Bones are very specific about focusing one’s attention. And that means
all of us - all parts of our own being inside of our selves. Each
individual has to do this for themselves. Not just for humanity but for
one’s self. We have to figure out how to go about changing our thoughts
and our emotions.
ALAN: You brought up focus, and part of the question is around, is there
a way that we can pray, or use our focus, or our mind/intention, and I
know best-selling author Larry Dossey says every thought is a prayer, in
a way, because what you put out there has influence. So what is the
focus, and in this particular case, where do the mindsets and the
concentrations that we would ask people to implore, in terms of creating
peace and harmony, which we think is our birthright?
KAY: The Bone piece for prayer is sitting squarely inside the heart. And
everything else around it is describing focus. Mental and emotional,
purposeful focusing. The spirits say that every single thing we think,
or feel, goes out into the world. It’s like we’re radio stations. It’s
being broadcast out. And this is a prayer to the universe. If we are
conscious about what we are thinking and feeling, and it comes from our
heart, and it has good intent - this is prayer. This is wishing
wellbeing for self and all else. Wishing balance of being. If we have
ill intent on our minds and our emotions, then it is a curse.
It’s described here very, very clearly in this Throw: if we stay to
our old ways - to the blind belief, just taking on the ideas and
concepts without assessment, to the judgments, the condemnations that
have been thrown around and passed to us through the centuries - then
that’s all we’re going to do. We’re going to rehash it. We’ll be on
automatic pilot, not really conscious of what we are doing. And we’re
going to rehash the old garbage, make more of it and toss it out into
the world.
The Bones really have a very interesting thing to say; it’s a gift
from the spirits. This is something that they don’t usually talk about
publicly. And this is how to go about cleaning up this cesspool-fog that
we’ve actually created and we live in. And their method is to ask the
Mother Earth herself, or any of the spirit nations - the angels, if
that’s how you view those things - to open up a very specific and
special doorway to a proper world, dimension, universe, for the garbage
to go to. This thoughtform pollution is floating around through our
psychic airways, filling your rooms, filling your bodies, filling our
minds, filling the space outside, throughout our cities - it’s
everywhere. And we ask for these doorways to be opened up, we talk to
this fog, these thoughtforms, this garbage that we’ve made, and ask it
to please go through the door.
The place on the other side of the door for the garbage is heaven. They
look at that and they say, “That’s heaven!” They want to go. And if we
help them, they’re just escorted through the doorway. It cleans our
space, for good. These things don’t come back. And they’re in what is
for them a wonderful place that they love. So it’s a win-win-win. It is
a non-warring cooperation. A non-power-over interaction. And this is
what we need to do on a huge scale within our own beings, our bodies,
our minds, our homes, our offices, the streets, the cities, the country.
Anywhere, everyplace, we clean it up.
ALAN: From a quantifiable place, does this mean establishing more formal
practices of this kind of awareness? Is it good to have a regular
meditation on a regular basis, on a daily basis, either individually at
home or to gather groups together specifically to address the issues of
violence, separation, and hostility as it relates to where we’re headed
into 2003 with the possibility, imminent possibility, of a war ahead of
us. And not only of a war, but of the karmic cause-and-effect results of
what that war’s going to create. Anger in response to anger doesn’t
create peace. Hatred in response to hatred doesn’t create love. And so
what do we do to influence these leaders and do we make a regular
practice? Is it that simple?
KAY: A regular practice that disciplines you, trains you, trains your
thoughts and your emotions to be in your positive places, think more
positive, loving things. To get out of that addictive habit that we all
learned how to be in of judging, condemning, hating, retribution,
suspicion, paranoia - all that garbage. When we’re there we’re creating
thoughtforms of all that junk. All the hatred, all the anger, all the
jealousies. It pollutes our space and our minds and our bodies, and we
interact with that garbage and it just ends up creating more and more
and more. If we do some kind of regular meditation on peace, on love, on
being more at ease within our own self, loving self, loving the world,
getting rid of that judgment - that, right there, is a very big step to
healing self and the world. But it does need to be carried out through
the day. A daily practice trains you to think in those positive ways
through the day IF you carry it with you, if you let it. What our
culture has trained us to do is to leaving that practice in the
meditation room, temple, chapel, and go on out into the world, cussing
everybody from your car and stamping everything in your office, to
whine, spit, fear, blame, hate and judge.
ALAN: In that context there just are times where we’re off. We just are
not in that heart space and we’re not in a place of clarity. I’m
speaking for myself and that’s my perception of most people. We have
these trying moments. What I learned to do is to try and contain it
within myself and find the place away from other people to do whatever I
need to do to clarify that situation. And sit with it as long as I need
to until it’s disempowered. And then go out and have a relationship
again, instead of projecting it on everything outside of myself. Because
I think people are going to have their moments of frustration and
anxiety, of anger, in a world that’s so chaotic with these waves and
frequencies of energy. It’s all energy traffic. So what do you think
about human timeouts?
KAY: It’s a very good idea. What you do with a timeout is going to make
all the difference. If you stash it and deny it, whatever your problem
is that you’re going through, that doesn’t help anything. You create a
stash pot, and that just gets slimy and oozy inside, like a bomb, ready
to go off and eventually it will. We have to acknowledge and face
whatever it is we’re feeling, whether it’s anger or fear or regret,
disgust - anything. We need to face it. Acknowledge it without judging
ourselves, without judging anyone else. And let the process of whatever
that is finish inside us without striking out and dumping it on someone
else or ourselves.
Learning how to turn our attention as we work through the issues is the
key; to turn the attention back to our own heart, to the sense of our
own beingness, the love that is there, the peace that we can find there
if we look, and learn how to continually go back to that. If we are busy
doing that and being that - being that truth of our own entity, where
all that love and peace resides - that’s what we broadcast out into the
world. The thoughtforms that come out of us are full of those energies:
love, peace, caring, unconditional acceptance of everything, instead of
the judgment.
ALAN: Any closing thoughts, just looking at the Bones spread in front of
us here? Any particular thoughts for the New Year ahead or celebrating
the holidays, besides going into your room and staying self-contained if
you can’t be heartful and loving? Closing thoughts?
KAY: Well currently our world is such a stagnation. We’ve learned
through the centuries, from our culture, to be in this very, very
hateful state. To always return back to the judgment, the condemnation,
the hating, retribution, violence. We need to move out of it. We need to
give up the addiction we have to it. We have to make a choice. That
means, personally, each person, making a commitment. It’s a big
commitment to make that kind of a change in one’s life. This is a
minute-to-minute, every hour, every day for the rest of your life,
commitment. Just move away from the old violence, hatred, jealousy,
judgment, to learning more about your own self, your own beingness, the
true beingness of everything else in our world, our co-existence and
connection.
ALAN: And what do you do when your neighbor, another country, another
advocate of a different philosophy, is in your space in a way that they
don’t want that peace; they’re just into violence and separation. What
do you do? Do you walk away, turn the other cheek, as was taught by some
masters?
KAY: Each situation is unique. It’s not like anything else. And it needs
to be approached in that way. What are all the exact details of each
situation? If you strike back with just as much judgment, hatred,
violence as is directed on you, you’ll be creating another thoughtform
just as big as the one that was thrown at you. It pollutes you, your
advocate, your adversaries, your world. Hate breeds hate.
ALAN: And the other side of the coin or duality, if it is duality, is
that love is the power to transform all the negative emotions that we
talked about.
KAY: Love is definitely where it’s at. That’s where the power is. Real
power centers out of the heart - the piece for prayer is sitting
squarely in the heart, right side up. Everything around it is talking
about focusing your attention, focusing that energy of thought, emotion
and heart, on peace, love, acceptance. Learn about who all these others
around us are, whether they’re the next-door neighbor or the next
country. Who are they really? What is their truth? What’s their real
spirit all about, not their thoughtforms, but their actual spirit? If we
can see them spirit to spirit, from our heart and spirit to theirs, Song
to Song, truth to truth, then the wars will stop.
