Symbiotic Relationships 2019
©2019 Joan Newcomb
This is an updated version of a post from 2012
I’m in the midst of heavy duty care giving again, this time helping my younger brother recover from a stroke. It helps me to remember that in every situation, I’m receiving as well as giving. Right now there is healing occurring on many levels. My brother and I share a unique childhood, no one else in the family (who is still alive) experienced the things we experienced. And I’m benefiting in other ways, like getting to spend my weekends running around Manhattan.
“Symbiotic Relationships”usually refers to two different species, such as barnacles on whales or birds on rhinos. Barnacles grow on whales and live off of particles floating in the surrounding ocean that would otherwise affect the whale’s vision. Several kinds of birds feed off of insects that live on rhino’s skin (you could say the insects themselves have a symbiotic relationship with their host).
It’s also a good term for how we humans interact with each other.
Biology describes 5 different kinds of Symbiotic Relationships:
- Mutualism, where both species benefit
- Commensalism, where one species benefits, the other is unaffected
- Parasitism, where one species benefits, the other is harmed
- Competition, where neither species benefits
- Neutralism, where both species are unaffected
(taken from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_symbiotic_relationship#ixzz20XXT5FYX)
It’s an interesting way to look at your friends, family and coworkers! Is your relationship Mutual, a ‘win-win’ for each person? Are you and your partner, family member, or employer/coworker/customer equally benefiting?
Is it Commensal you’re getting something and they’re not getting anything but it doesn’t matter to them? That’s a tougher one to imagine. Even if you feel you’re putting out all the effort and getting nothing back, there’s always something returning to you.
It gets a little messy when considering Parasites. People aren’t exactly ticks or noxious weeds, but you could look at some government officials being parasitical when they want tax breaks for themselves while withdrawing services for others. When I was a teenager, my father called my mother, my brother and I, “parasites”. Verbal abuse scars the soul. This is one of the childhood wounds I’m hoping I’m healing while I’m New York.
Biology defines Competition as where *neither* benefits. Spiritually, competition stops growth and creativity, as it places your attention outside yourself. Competition focuses not just on doing better than someone but in outdoing them. In biology it affects survival.
Neutral is as tough to imagine as Commensal, because how can there be an interaction without being affected?
Unless you’re roughing it on a desert island, we are all interdependent, no matter how alone or resistant you may feel. No relationship is truly one way. Even anonymously helping someone leaves you with a good feeling, just as using them leaves you feeling bad.
It can be disturbing to realize in a dysfunctional relationship you were actually getting something out of it. Perhaps you were afraid to leave because you were still trying to get taken care of. Perhaps you didn’t want to take responsibility for yourself. Perhaps their dysfunction made you seem normal!
We are all participating in a giant energetic tapestry called life. Each of us is creating or emitting a colorful thread of our own unique vibration. And from a broader perspective we’ve agreed to be here interacting with everyone else. It’s all good, even if we don’t experience it that way at the moment.
This week, in your relationships, notice – are you the whale or the barnacle? The rhino or the bird? The tree or the ivy? It doesn’t matter if you’re big or little, you’re receiving something from it! Acknowledging the pattern can help you change it. Recognizing your part or what you’re receiving from it can help you accept it, and transform it if you want to.
Try this for 7 days and see what happens!

Unconsciousness Exposed
Mystic Musings: It’s A New World But It’s Not Spiritual
“It’s a New World but it’s not Spiritual” ©2019 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
Have you noticed an energy shift over the last few weeks? It’s been a continual and gradual evolution but the last few weeks have been particularly noticeable.
My husband, who’s a Tibetan Buddhist (which I describe as the Catholicism of Buddhism, steeped in ancient ritual and lore), said the other day, “it’s a new world, but it’s not Spiritual.”
I totally agree. Now he may have meant something different with his words, but I perceive that the hologram has shifted to a higher vibration, but it’s still physical reality (just a less dense version of it).
Last night he said it’s like we’re all being remapped, like a software update. I’ve noticed that going on for some time. I feel like our energy systems have gone from gasoline to fuel cell. He also said it seems like our egos have changed.
Which makes total sense to me as our egos are the personality part of our physical reality.
My explanation for all of this is that greater Consciousness is coming into form, and our systems and the hologram has had to update in order to accommodate the increased frequency.
Those of us that identify with form, that identify as their bodies and personalities, are feeling really disoriented by the changes. They’ll interpret it as if they’re dying when really it’s just the denser vibration becoming more diffuse.
To me, the external world has become brighter and lighter. It sometimes feels like a movie set but still vividly real.
It’s a New World, and yet it’s still a hologram. Our bodies are operating at a higher frequency, but they’re still physical containers. We feel more integrated into them, just as we feel more connected to others around the world. Because we *are* that Consciousness more in form, in all forms.
And still experiencing our individual timeline, our individual storyline, our particular weaving through this version of time and space. It’s just that time and space has become more malleable, and the storyline more variable.
You’ll have to go through your own updates with all of this. You’ll have to find your “sea legs”, you own, new way of grounding and centering in this upgraded reality.
As Consciousness you can make up your own techniques, and they’ll work! Operating as Consciousness, you’ll find reality reorganizing in your favor in the most enjoyable and entertaining ways, with results beyond your wildest imagination.

Mystic Musings: Off Kilter Wonkiness Is Reality Reorganizing!
Off Kilter Wonkiness Is Reality Reorganizing ©2019 Joan M. Newcomb, CPC
It’s been a wonky week. The energy feels off kilter. I can’t put it down to Mercury Retrograde (although there’s definitely been some of that – communications and electronics mishaps).
But this reminds me of two years ago, at the time of the Brexit vote and then the U.S. election, where many of us felt sideswiped by the results. Back then it felt like being shoved into an alternate universe.
This feels reality is reorganizing. The pendulum swinging back into balance (I hope not before swinging to another extreme). It’s like the part of the movie where things start to get resolved.
In some ways it’s been annoying. Like knowing the end of the movie but not knowing *how* the story gets there.
And also knowing that we’re not done yet with wild, unpredictable, out of the blue, plot twists and turns.
To me, it’s all been an affirmation that we’re living in a hologram. Things that can’t possibly happen have been happening. It’s kind of like the Saturday Night Live writers have taken over the Cosmic screen play and they’re competing with each other for best skit. You think that today’s news cycle was outrageous? Hold my beer, the next comic says.
We can have a variety of reactions to what’s happening. We can hunker down and let things unfold. That can feel like reality is happening to us, but even no action is a chosen action.
We can resist and fight what’s happening. Try to make people listen to us. Make the government change their minds. Throw money at the problem. Move to another country.
That’s like wrestling with the scenery on a movie set. Shouting over other people’s lines. Or storming out of the room, as if that will change anything.
We can also engage and listen. Call, and write, and vote.
And those of us who dance to a different drum, who heed a higher calling, who may be feeling the wonkiness more than most, what can we do? Change our inner state, change our minds, shift our energy, step into a parallel universe where it’s all unfolding in our favor, where it’s a benevolent Universe, where it’s all unfolding in everyone’s favor.
Responding as Consciousness, you can be amused at the storyline. You can appreciate wonkiness. You can recognize that everything is validation that this is a hologram created by Consciousness. That everything is a story within the hologram (even this explanation is a story within the hologram).
The time is ripe to make this shift. And all it takes is a change of viewpoint. See yourself as greater Consciousness embodying into form. You love your body and your personality, it’s Your creation as a vehicle in this world, and a way to fully feel and engage in this world. Others are also Consciousness in form, other aspects of yourself, other players in this online game.
Yet reality is malleable, and others show up in your storyline but do not influence it without you creating it as part of your own plot. (And you show up in theirs the same way).
Playing in this way and at this level is effortless, fun, and enjoyable.
You inherently know all is very, very well.
