“The passion is your Song. To feel the passion is to feel and know the Song that is your own Spirit’s vibrations. The experience of this is the foundation of Ka Ta See. When you are balanced you will all the time feel that way. But just because you feel this does not mean you are balanced.”
– Domano Hetaka

I know I mentioned in the last post that we’ll look at more blind beliefs about happiness in our modern culture using the newsletter about the problem with happiness as a guide.

But before we continue with that I wanted to share something really important, really, really important: understanding the difference between “Song Happy” and “Mask Happy”.

There are a great many pitfalls we can get stuck in for any length of time when we pursue waking up, when we pursue knowing Song.

A sensation of happiness provided by our masks is one of those pitfalls.

Following is a piece from a lecture Kay gave to her Study Group about that very problem and how to not fall into the “Mask Happy” trap:

FEELING HAPPY, HAVING FUN, FEELING GIDDY?

Your masks use the lingo and concepts of your activities and new traditions very easily and very well.

This is where it can get sticky for people really trying to learn this Ka Ta See path and live it.

These are the masks that have figured out how to let their captive human “Feel Happy Things”, have some “Fun”, but still have the masks be in the driver’s seat. They have their human believing that any “Happy Sensation” is full fledged being-in-Song.

Here is where the confusion is.

You learn to access your Song through feeling sensations that are happy, fun, exciting, passionate, loving. These feelings HELP YOU TOUCH INTO the great vastness of your Song.

It is as if these feelings floated on the surface of your Song – like a magical doorway into a world of incorruptible aliveness and antiquity, vast, knowledgeable, nourishing, whole, private – indestructible.

The dominant feeling quality of your Song is a joyous sensation, that’s why you can access your Song, your Beingness, by allowing yourself to feel these pleasant things.

But – these pleasant things are not synonymous to the TOTALITY OF YOUR SONG. These pleasant feelings are only, if you let them be, a spring board, a touching-in place, a magical doorway, into experiencing your Song and learning the secrets about your Self.

Just because you feel something “Fun” or “Giddy”, or “Funny”, or even “Happy”, does not necessarily mean you are feeling deeply into your Song or exploring its wondrous depths. Masks can learn to let you feel these things also and still keep the real Song hidden.

These feelings do not necessarily equate with IDENTIFYING WITH YOUR SONG.

Don’t let your masks trick you into jumping to conclusions or making assumptions.

You might be identifying with “Happy”, “Fun”, “Play”, “Excitement”, “Falling In Love”. Which is better than feeling and identifying with anger, suspicion, hatred, treachery, violence, etc. – but a mask is still in the driver’s seat.

When masks are letting you feel happy it’s as if you are in a bubble – you are still isolated, disconnected, relating only to the mask. Everything is shallow, stagnant, all the same and very much like being in the stupor of a drug.

Some students act as if Song is some kind of baggage they are carrying around with them, as if it were something that they set down someplace and forget about and then walk away from.

When feeling happy is connecting you to your Song, or you are feeling the genuine happy sensations of your Song, you are able to experience the connectedness to all beings around you, you are able to feel the depth and diversity of your own Song and a feeling of being deeply in-love with your Song, yourself, and deeply in-love with all the beings around you.

It’s always fresh, active, real; the connection is two way, dynamic and alive.

The signatures of your Song and the Beings around you are distinct and vibrant.

Don’t let this mask activity trick you.

Don’t let this discourage you.

You can distinguish which is which by the signatures and the depth and diversity of the experiences.

Always go back to the signatures.

Remember we keep saying, the waking up is going to happen, whether we want it to or not, or whether we believe in it or not.

It will happen. Humanity is on a path to wake up.

If we learn to own “Song Happy”, it’ll make a world of difference how we all, collectively, get there, making it all that much easier, smoother and swifter for everyone.

I have no way of knowing what your beliefs about our future are.

You may look around and see all the bleak reality of violence, power over, non-caring; abounding economical and ecological disasters; governments in league with organized crime, or government and organized crime being one and the same, together ravaging and pillaging on the back of the poor, the less fortunate, the have-nots.

You may buy the apocalyptic fare of the religious nuts and truly believe that the great reckoning is at hand and we are facing imminent destruction and only the true believers will survive.

While I like to think it’s likely you don’t believe any of this, otherwise you might not be reading our material, any and all of these things might still be effecting your beliefs about who we are and what’s to come.

These are scraps of little belief remnants that stick to the walls of our subconscious.

Whatever the case may be, I promise you, knowing “Song Happy” and carrying it throughout your waking hours, no matter what, will make a night and day difference as to how things on our path of waking up will unfold.

Know your Song, know yourself and flood the world with its vibration and you’ll create a different form of harmony all around on a scale you may not even be able to imagine just yet.

Domano and Chea always reminded Kay that it takes only one person to change the world. One person.

We have a dear friend who is fortunate to be able to travel the world doing little else but spreading Love and Song vibrations, and very much enjoying herself along the way, of course.

We are in awe at her commitment to doing this.

Many of us are not able to just go off to places wherever our heart pulls us.

But we don’t all have to travel the world; we can still spread the same vibration of Song centered knowingness and change, wherever we spend our days, no matter what we are doing.

Commit to it, you’ll be amazed as to what will happen. Commit to it in a way as if your very life, indeed the future of all life, depended on it.

Love and Song,

Helmut
