The 
          Surf is Up!  
        
      
      
        Surfing the 
            subtle currents of the Invisible is similar to surfing the ocean waves. 
            And it's a most useful skill at this point. First, let's learn how to 
            study the condition of the surf. Since the subtle currents are continually 
            changing, we need to constantly align ourselves with their movements. 
            Try lying down and becoming very still until you can feel the undulating 
            currents all around you. If you are very quiet, you should also be able 
            to feel the watery currents slowly shifting inside your body. Now, let 
            the subtle currents both inside and outside you flow together in unison. 
            This will align you more deeply with the Invisible. 
           
          What is the surf of the subtle currents doing? How would you describe 
          it? Is it calm or wild, choppy or stagnant? Get to know your surf so that 
          at any given moment you can accurately read it. This is especially helpful 
          upon awakening in the morning. It will tell you much about the energies 
          of the day. The next step is to align yourself with the surf. This is 
          very important if you want to flow through your day, working with the 
          inherent energies, rather than against them. Here are some examples: 
              
        
          Calm 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        A good day for steadily 
          pacing yourself, accomplishing things in a peaceful manner. A serene 
          day filled with positive energy and Love. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Wild 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        There are many variations 
          within this category. If you properly align yourself with Wild Surf, 
          you can accomplish much. It will give you lots of passion, energy and 
          momentum. It is a time of clear, decisive action without effort or struggle. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Battering 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        This is a rough surf. 
          Be very gentle with yourself and others. Keep as quiet as possible until 
          it changes. Avoid confrontations. It's definitely not the kind of day 
          to go out and press your luck. Instead, stay home and read. Make yourself 
          as cozy as possible. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Choppy 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        An unpredictable 
          surf which can go in any direction. Your mind will be full of wild, 
          uncontrollable thoughts, most of which have no basis in reality. Avoid 
          decisions since you are not coming from a place of clarity. Try to be 
          extra alert and grounded, otherwise you can have minor accidents. The 
          best thing to do in Choppy Surf is the small practicalities of life. 
          A good day to tidy the house, do your laundry, work in the garden; any 
          unchallenging physical activities which give your wayward mind something 
          to focus on. Once you do this, the crazy energies will balance out and 
          Choppy Surf will change into something else. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Splashing 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        A challenging, emotional 
          surf. It will bring out a spectrum of surface emotions. One minute you 
          will be happy - then sad - then angry. None of these emotions are very 
          deep or enduring, so just let them pass through you. It's difficult 
          to find a way to align yourself with a Splashing Surf, but once you 
          do, your emotions will smooth out. One thing that will help is to remember 
          that these emotions are not based on anything personal. You are simply 
          experiencing some of the collective planetary emotions for the purpose 
          of transmutation. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Still 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        Still Surf is surf 
          with little or no movement. When you feel becalmed in Still Surf, don't 
          force yourself into action. Stay as quiet as possible. Retreat. Go within. 
          It is an excellent time to access the depths of your being. Also a good 
          time for study or research. If you have to go into the world or interact 
          with people, remain as quiet as possible. It is not an easy time to 
          get anything done on a physical level. If you have to work, you'll have 
          the greatest success if you do things slowly and thoroughly. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          The 
          Doldrums 
        
      
       
        While this isn't 
          officially a surf, it is something which you might encounter while surfing. 
          Physically, the Doldrums is an area near the Equator in the Pacific 
          Ocean where sailing ships often become becalmed, sometimes for months. 
          It is a place of little or no wind. The Doldrums differ from Still Surf 
          in their sense of an all-pervading heaviness. When we enter the Doldrums, 
          nothing seems to work in our lives. Everything is weighted down. The 
          surf has disappeared. When this happens, it's time to make a change. 
          Do something radical. . . like change yourself, let go of some long 
          held belief, or simply make a massive surrender. That should set you 
          free from the Doldrums and push you into an exciting breakthrough. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Riptide 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        This is surf which 
          appears calm, but contains hidden pockets of danger or whirlpools which 
          can suddenly catapult you to a totally different place. We often initially 
          read this as Calm Surf until we are surprised by a dramatic, unexpected 
          turn of events. As we become Master Surfers, we will learn to discern 
          Riptide Surf before it pulls us in. 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Swooning 
          Surf 
        
      
       
        Swooning Surf is 
          filled with concentrated Love energies. That's Ecstatic Love energies. 
          Heightened Ecstatic Love energies. When Swooning Surf is up, you don't 
          need to eat or sleep and are definitely unpinned from time and space. 
          A magical time when miracles can be achieved. Love is in the air and 
          melts everyone it encounters. Need we say more? 
           
             
         
       
       
        
          Quantum 
          Surf 
        
      
       
         This is the special 
          surf which is aligned with the waves of the Celestial Seas. It brings 
          forth the really BIG WAVES. Huge, undeniable waves. . . When Quantum 
          Surf is around, jump on your surfboards and ride the Beam! This is the 
          surf of quantum leaps, major breakthroughs and achieving the impossible. 
          So when Quantum Surf is up, drop everything else and ride these waves 
          as far as you can. 
           
               
           
          Once you have recognized the condition of the surf, you can begin your 
          day with maximum effectiveness. However, it's important to remember 
          that the surf can change anytime. Program yourself to check out the 
          subtle currents on a regular basis throughout the day and realign yourself 
          to them if they have changed. 
         
       
       
        
          When 
          the tide rolls in, ride the waves. 
          When the tide is out, collect shells. 
        
      
       
         
          As you develop greater familiarity and mastery with the prevailing 
          surf, you will learn how to smooth out the rough spots in your life 
          by working with the subtle currents of the Invisible. And by learning 
          to feel the subtle currents and aligning yourself to them, you have 
          received your First Key to the Invisible.
