Michael Meade talks about how what we need is not simply more time, but rather timelessness. When we are doing something creative, we have stepped out of time and touched into the inspiration which comes from the eternal world. That is a Kairos moment. In a Kairos moment there is the potential for connecting that which is ancient with that which is about to become born.

In this episode of Living Myth, Michael Meade explores how each soul born bears a personal story that involves natural gifts intended to be given and an original agreement of the soul that includes an inherent sense of purpose in life. At the same time, each family has fateful issues and inherited plotlines that strongly affect the dependent and defenseless child. The good news is that at each critical time in our lives, we have opportunities to awaken to the original agreement of our soul. The more difficult issue is that we must untangle ourselves from the limits of our family fate.

While all agreements and entanglements with our families can be made more conscious and can be renegotiated; the original agreements of our souls involve the threads of our destiny and are therefore non-negotiable.

When the outside world becomes increasingly conflicted and chaotic, we are thrown back upon ourselves. If we are willing to face the fateful elements and early wounds of our life, we find the twist of fate that reveals the destiny that our souls were aimed at all along.

While all agreements and entanglements with our families can be made more conscious and can be renegotiated; the original agreements of our souls involve the threads of our destiny and are therefore non-negotiable.

"In ancient Greece, they liked to divide things into two, not to polarize things, but to create a creative tension. One of the pairs that was the philosophical basis of understanding transformation and dynamic movement in the world was the pairing of Kronos and Kairos. Kronos was a God, from whom we get chronology. And so Kronos-time is linear time, time marching on, time coming to an end and everything counting down. That’s the Kronos level of time. Kairos is the opposite. Kairos-time is the break in time, the loosening of time. A Kairos moment is when time opens up and the eternal and timeless comes back into the world. These are clearly opposites, and yet they are related.

One thing that helps me understand what’s happening in the world today is the idea that there is an intensification of Kronos time. Everybody is counting down to what feels like the possible end of the world because of climate crisis or many other things. People feel like they are running out of time because time is moving faster, because we’re at the end of an era.

What we need is not simply more time, we need timelessness. When we are doing something creative, we have stepped out of time and touched into the inspiration which comes from the eternal world. That is a Kairos moment. In a Kairos moment, there is the possibility and potential for connecting that which is really ancient with that which is about to become born, or that which is eternally new."

While Kairos is the opportune time for meaningful change, Eros is the movement in the heart that makes genuine change possible. Eros is the secret glue that holds everything together and the part of us that desires to connect and longs to create. Taken together Kairos and Eros can present a creative time in which the original potentials of life return as part of a renewal of the living world.

"Fate is purpose seen from the other end of life. When engaged with the true aim of one’s life, looking back can be revelatory. In the end, very little is lost. Once the key is found and the door of the self opens, it all makes sense; the ascents and descents, even the tragedies and failures can be revalued. When the door between the worlds begins to swing, the values of time and place are altered and everything can have renewed meaning."

"Everyone experiences pain and most suffer from patterns that continue to make life miserable unless something or someone intervenes. The pain we feel comes from the cross-wise energies that keep curving back and cancelling the wise self and the good word that wait to be expressed from within us. Persistent pain is usually the indication that we have become trapped in a life too small for our true nature. That is the usual human fate and the common predicament where the little-self obscures the greater nature behind it. Until people realize what harms them and limits them from within, they are unlikely to call out for someone to help stop the pain. The remedy may be nearby, but until the pain becomes unbearable most remain caught in the agony of one form or another of self-inflicted wounds. As Rumi said, 'The cure for the pain is in the pain.'”

Monthly Special - Last Day to Save 30%
This in-depth course with Michael Meade explores how in order to avoid overwhelm and find meaningful pathways, we need to tap the deep resources of our soul which connect us to timeless roots of imagination and the endless energies of creation. This course focuses on archetypal dynamics that can inspire and inform us, that can contain and shape our emotions and that can tap our inherited creative energies for both healing and renewal.

"I want to describe a scene in which I learned a whole lot about fear, including the sense that fear is an intimate emotion, and that what we fear the most is connected to who we already are at the core of our lives.

The moment in which fear becomes almost overwhelming begins backstage in a theater where over 500 people are waiting for an event to begin. I am one of several presenters. And I’m expecting to be the last one to speak. And therefore, imagining that I have plenty of time to decide what I’m going to present. What I really want to do is tell a story that I had only recently found and had not really prepared to tell. The truth is that I don’t rehearse stories before I tell them, I read them or listen to them, and let them inhabit me, usually for quite a while before I ever tell them. While I was still casually considering what story I should tell, the host of the event suddenly came up and said, “something has happened, I’m going out and I’m going to introduce you first.”

I suddenly became flooded with fear, almost paralyzed by it, not simply because I felt unprepared in the moment, but also because something in me insisted that I tell the story that I also felt I had not completely learned. In what seemed like barely a moment I was on stage, still feeling deeply fearful, still feeling unprepared, and definitely feeling that I might not measure up to the occasion. And then something in me that I now realize knew more about me and what I should be doing than I did, began telling the story regardless of my fears and insecurities."
