The Luminary and the Visionary ~
the Dance of Being and Doing



In this transit time of “much ado about everything” new awakenings are rampant, frequent, almost everyday occurrences. [For a discussion of the difference between awakenings and ‘enlightenment’ please see my previous post by Leslie Temple-Thurston. ]

What is non-hierarchical enlightenment? At first glance, this sounds quite attractive. And it is. Hierarchy is a concept form the old cycle and is part of the addiction to boxes and labels and classifications of form.

One might be attracted to this concept because “if it is non-hierarchical at least I won’t be on the bottom”, and/or “maybe I have a chance to be ‘make it to the top’ if there is no pyramid to climb and no rules to obey and no ‘class system’, etc. etc. ”... that is NOT it.

Non-hierarchical enlightenment in its first manifestations is begun in the dance between Illumination and Vision. Illumination, in its true formlessness, will attract the necessary efforts / actions for the space it holds, regardless of what ‘form’ (person, place, thing or situation) takes the actions or makes the efforts... luminaries tend to attract visionaries and visionaries are attracted to luminaries, because without the luminary the configuration of the visionary lacks purpose. In duality then, without the visionary, the luminary can feel ‘without purpose’ because s/he holds space for ‘nothing’. The visionary can feel ‘without purpose’ without the illumination that guides the vision. When these two configurations are not merged, are split, or held in duality, all kinds of misunderstandings and misalignments can occur.

Cosmic laughter here!!! In unity, the luminary IS the enlightened state and the visionary configuration allows that to flow into the current reality where consciousness is focused (remember they are ALL virtual) in a divinely guided way. Put another way, the awakened or illumined heart simply shines, guided by the singularity of the divine nature, and the visionary is the configuration that guides the taking of action or making of what appears to be effort in our reality of friction and movement and form. The illumined heart breathes ‘inspiritus’ into vision, which then creates form from formlessness, or formlessly guided form. (If your mind is still struggling with this, relax and let your heart take over ~ it will understand immediately and begin to let go.) Illumination holds the light, the space, and Vision holds the guided movement into form from formlessness. It is the inner marriage of the cosmic dance.

If we merge and reconcile the luminary and the visionary, still respecting the distinct energy configurations of each, what happens is that the luminary holds space for ‘space’ as ‘space’ (light, love, divine influx) and the visionary guides the flow of that into creation by whatever means s/he is guided to by merging with the inner luminary (which can out-picture in a person, place, thing, tradition, or any form that is helpful to that creative process). Creation itself initiates, supports, nurtures and drives this process.

From the Divine Feminine perspective, the solar feminine is the Source of the lunar... remembering that the lunar light is a reflection of the Source within, as in this reality, our ‘moon’ shines with the reflected light of the sun. Nature in collaboration with the Divine architecture of creation.

So, the merging of luminary and visionary energies is another way of talking about merging formlessness and form both into and from the ocean of divine resources. Some of us embody more of the formless, some more of the form. Each, in its own unique way, is a Divine Manifestation, containing the All within.

What does this have to do with Non-Hierarchical Enlightenment? As we release into the new cycle, we will be shown!

What will your embodiment be? Ride the waves and see!
