Moving Castles

I knew there was a reason I wanted to watch Howl’s Moving Castle! Today, I want to share what I moved.

​There’s a scene in Howl’s Moving Castle where they move the castle and the portal door locations. I love this scene, because it’s showing exactly what it’s like when a starship jumps. Everybody goes and sits on the hearth while Howl draws a magic circle inside the castle and outside. He takes Calcifer (the castle’s heart), stands on the circle, Calcifer fires up energetically, and then everything outside the castle changes. All the other characters are expecting the castle to move, but they just sit there for a moment or two and then Howl says, “Okay! We moved!” And the portal door opens to a new town.

I laughed as I watched that, because I was like “Yes! That’s what happens! You sit there and then, oh look, suddenly there’s a new planet out the window.”

Anyway, in light of what happened the other day, and realizing I can push away all those watchers if I want and realizing I’m not tethered here, I decided this morning to move my snow globe. To move the castle. Or, rather, my soul decided to move it and I started perceiving the move.

This came through as I sat at my desk eating some oatmeal. All of the sudden, I hear in my mind, “It’s time to move!” And I see the energy field wrapping this Construct lifting out of the ground in the lower astral. My soul gives me some really epic visuals sometimes. This was like out of a movie. I saw the ground crack and crumble as the energy bubble lifted up. Little pieces of lava rock clung to the energy field and then slowly fell to the floor. I could even hear the sound of the rubble as it fell.

A bunch of Watchers were clinging to the field, trying to hold on, but there’s a kind of “atmospheric” drag in the lower astral. The density of the energies there pulls on you when you move, which is why you can fly ships there and it feels like air, and in this case it pulled the Watchers off the field. Sitting at my desk, I felt when it broke through the layer that is the physical. It felt like going into Jello. I don’t know if anyone saw anything anywhere—maybe—but I felt it move through that gluey density like moving through a thick, gelatinous membrane.

I found my family in orbit and passed them, and as I passed, I thought “Let’s leave a note about where we are.” So, I imagined a note appearing on Mari’s desk. Maybe it’s there actually in the physical. Maybe it’s there in the astral. I do not know. But the note was intended to let them know I’ve moved and give the coordinates for the beacon. The coordinates looked like a complex, holographic geometric shape. I thought of “QR codes” from Earth, and that’s basically what it is, only it holds more data.

Then the Construct pushed past the physical, back into the astral, only this time instead of Void and weird lighting, its soft pearlescent light waves. Not light. Light waves. Reminds me of where I went when I saw Source and my soul spark. Only, I get that this is a lower layer of the Upper Astral. Just phased out of physicality.

Because my soul put me in mind of Howl’s Moving Castle, I decided to “open the windows” of the energy field and let a “breeze” blow through. Clean out the energies inside the Construct.

So that was this morning.

Yesterday I spent a lot of time feeling things activating and turning on. Feels kind of like dominos flickering as they fall, only these are opening up.

Today, I noticed changes in my coworkers. They do not want to obsess over conspiracy theories. They want to talk about cat videos. They are accepting that they cannot control the whole world, but they can control their own world. That’s an improvement!

I also felt suddenly open enough to explain to them why the government (that I worked for) keeps siloing itself. I don’t care if they don’t understand, but they need to understand. I said:

“Imagine the government itself is a being with its own consciousness. The reason why we can’t make it stop siloing [compartmentalizing] itself is because the consciousness of the government is only able to think of itself as being silo’ed. No matter how many times we change one part of it, it will always reset back to a silo. It’s only capable of perceiving itself that way.”

There was initial pushback about me saying it’s like a “being”, and I said, “Just hang with me for a moment.” And then there was no more pushback. Because they know it’s true. They’ve known it for a very long time, and I just explained why they know what they know.

Actually, yesterday also, my boss joked about me reading somebody’s mind to determine what they want. And I openly said, “Actually, I really can read their minds. But I refuse to do everybody’s work for them. They have to do the work.” Mild disbelief, but my response “I will make people do their work” is so very me that the disbelief faded away.

Again, they’ve known this for a long time, too. It’s why they’d joke about it.

Who are my coworkers? Are they me? No. They’re the consciousness of the people I actually did once work with. My soul was still wanting to work with them, but I feel that process is done. They’re as far as they can go with me as a teacher. The biggest thing was getting my boss to a point where he would realize he can control his daily experience and that matters more than what’s happening around the world. And getting one of my other coworkers to open up a little bit to look outside of his current framework, and to be willing to challenge authority a little bit. That it’s okay when he does—even welcomed. The other two coworkers on my team are as far as they will go already.

So, that’s done. Feels good to have that part of the project done.

Which is why I cut the tether to 2025 Earth this morning before I moved the Construct. That tether was connected right into my C6 vertebra. There’s like an energetic implant there—a jellied anchor point—and it’s being dissolved. Part of the reason my back was acting up (though I did aggravate it going behind that pipe). I was growing, but the implant was pinching the nerve because it couldn’t grow with me. I wonder if my arm will stop tingling after today (when the implant should be dissolved). That would be nice. It was getting really uncomfortable!

One more thought before I go. Here’s another reason why my soul wanted me to read the Sandman comics. In the comics, there’s an entity called “Fiddler’s Green”. There’s one particular story where this entity manifests as a large, elderly Englishman with a cane. And a human encounters him and says, “You’re a place?” To which Fiddler’s Green says, “Hoom. Yes. Most of the time. Though sometimes I get tired of lovers strolling through me, and I just have to get away.”

I remember when I first read the comics in college, I was delighted at the idea that a person could be also be a place. And now, reading it again, I am “tickled to death” to realize that I am a person that is also a place. It’s just a delightful, hilarious, wonderful idea.

I know you’ve said this before, Mari, in videos. You’ve said it many times, actually. That souls are their own existential realms as well as being incarnated people.

Sometimes I have to look at things from a slightly different angle for it to ground in. I suppose that’s how it is for everyone. Which is why when you prompt me with an idea, it can take a couple of days to be turned to the correct angle for my Self to see through. Know that when you say things, even if I don’t have a cognizant response at the time—even if I don’t agree with the exact presentation at the time—I observe it and imbibe it anyway. I listen to what you say carefully, but I don’t automatically take everything into myself exactly as you present it. Instead my soul starts turning your ideas in the light until it’s at the correct angle for that light to shine through for me.

I think that’s how it should be.

Now then, I’ll settle in to the new astral location and see how I start to change my little snow globe world.

I thank you for your time. Love to you all! Adiamas.
