PHILOSOPHY

As Krishnamurti says, “Truth” is a pathless land. There is no way we follow, no particular path, other than the pathless path of the H e a r t and the W a y of L o v e . In this pathless land, each individual must create one’s own unique way to be responsible for aligning with the collective expansion. We intend to walk our own way Home, in our own rare style, and by being our Sovereign, Unique and Aligned Selves we intend to inspire others to find themselves, or as we like to say in the hood, “them elves!”

We understand that behind any action/behaviour is a frequency (music, if you will) that emanates from the individual, and it is this emanation that is at the core of our transformation. In a similar way, in any teaching what is being transmitted is an energetic frequency. Modalities and words are the outer encasing, form or appearance of that frequency. We intend to transmit the most expansive and inclusive frequency possible, and disseminate this frequency to other beings in the particular ways that correspond with our own particular hearts. In other words, we teach, transmit, share and emanate the Way of the Heart through each action, as well as through the “disguises” of various modalities, disciplines, and words.

For some, it is through the way of Shamanism that the heart is awakened. For others through the discipline of Yoga. For others it is through the lens of Science, and for others through the frequency of sound: music. This is s a simplification, as most people are catalyzed by a large number of diverse stimuli. There are thousands of lenses, billions of perceptions. All ways are valid; all are fractional and dimensional (other than the unifying source of void which encompasses all). In terms of everyday reality, some lenses are more unifying than others. We live by using many different lenses through which to perceive the world and ourselves, with the intent to expand these perceptions, overlap our lenses to generate more inclusive and expansive points of view, and create new perceptions of reality—perceptions that are designed to liberate ourselves from the suppression matrix and realize (that is, make real) the Sovereign Integral state of consciousness.

The current lens through which much of the world operates is based on linear models, rationality, objectivity, duality, separation and factual information. This is a left-brained approach, commonly known as masculine energy. When this lens is not balanced by our feminine aspects, dysfunctionality occurs. We therefore use a balanced approach, allowing both types of energy to inform our actions for the true creative act to occur. In any given situation, applying a specific ratio of male-female energies will be most appropriate – discerning this is the task of the individual in the moment, now. (For more information on the balancing of the right and left brains, and the differences between these two energies, please check in at the Word Wizard’s Library, or the Elfmage’s Blog).

The structures and systems of our current world limit our consciousness and restrict the application of our inner hearts, so that most individuals do not have a conscious connection to their Inner Source/Self, nor even a conception of what this means. Connection with this Sovereign Integral Self is a personal relationship with the S o u r c e of all things, a personal relationship with a Universe that is a l i v e , conscious and responsive to our creative intelligence. It has been written that: “God does not proclaim himself—he is everybody’s secret.”

We are not saying God is a “he”, we are saying that each person has a personal, unique and secret relationship with the Universe, First Source, Prime Creator, “God,” Source, Love, Spirit, the Mystery, the Beloved, the Higher Self, the True Self, the Quantum Presence, the Divine Matrix, the Spiritual Center, Unity Consciousness or whatever word you would like to use to describe IT. For a possible “definition” of this all pervading consciousness, please see “First Source” in the glossary (Elfmage). We intend to create a space for the unfolding of this relationship to occur, for a connection to be made with this SELF as self, and through this connection for each individual to become aware of the K e Y s, C o D e S, secret gifts and unique images and crazy creative characters of their True Selves.

Our intent is to help others access their own internal C o m p a s s for navigating in this pathless land, a compass that is hidden and often inactive until the body-mind is purified. Paradoxically, the way the body-mind is purified is through the use of this compass – by releasing reaction and emitting the virtues of the heart: appreciation, compassion, forgiveness, humility, understanding and valor. To access the compass of the centre, the mind and body must be connected, a process we facilitate through many unique ways as well as ancient modalities. To access the Sovereign Integral state, the negative mind is silenced and the higher mind is invoked to envision, the body is aligned, and the heart becomes the Governing Intelligence of the human being.

We have observed what the B u d d h a taught: that as we purify mind and body, we begin developing an ability to A C T and inter- Act rather than re-act. In other words, we begin to develop the faculty of a Creator who consciously Acts and thus generates new Causes, rather than a Creator who unconsciously reacts and thus reaffirms already existing patterns and perceptions. We are already Creators. We wish to remind others how to become Aligned, Coherent and Conscious Creators, connected to each other, the planetary family, and all that is. In this way, creators create that which assists, evolves and supports our collective journey.

In recent years the power of the human heart has come under scientific investigation, and studies have revealed the key role that the heart plays in assisting our transformation to becoming healthy, peaceful and sovereign creators by transmuting our base emotions of hate, fear, anger, resentment and greed into emotions that are positive and aligned. For many, scientific evidence was never necessary, and all over the earth the way of the heart has been followed by wise and aligned individuals, regardless of their religion, culture, gender or belief systems, and without scientific “evidence” of the results of heart-based living.

However, the science of the heart’s extraordinary intelligence and governing role in the human body is now available and we can learn even more deeply how “living from the heart”, generating emotional coherence, and emitting positive feelings can affect even distant space-time events and how even the smallest act, generated by love, can cause ripples that grow from tiny, local and seemingly insignificant to become planetary and even cosmic in their scope. Please see heartmath.org, heartmath.com and glcoherence.org for more information on this paradigm-shifting science.

We therefore attempt to master higher mind attunement, heart-coherence, and the behaviors of the sovereign integral; the integration and alignment of mind-heart-body in every n o w.

Our teachings and livings flow from our own connection to Source. E l f h o o d is: Organic. Aligned. Coherent. Integral. Creative. Open. Compassionate. Expansive. Silly. Mythic. Lovable. Brave. Appreciative. Centered in the One. Fun. Hooded. Elvish.

For another description of our way, please read our Philosophy of Education: a Pedagogy of Processwhich, we might like to add, is continually growing more expansive and thus simpler, as a reflection of our own growth. The only unchanging truth is that all things change. (Thanks, Buddha).
