Correcting Nature's Agony

2/6/2013

We humans have gotten so much so wrong for so long in our relationship with Nature. But we also got some things very right along the way, and we need to not paint ourselves as totally black souled in our ignorance.

But that was the past. This time we are in is our chance to redeem ourselves in some very big ways. The first order of the day is to see clearly what was done, by our hand and our choices, and what is still being done where there is ignorance.

The second thing is to forgive ourselves knowing we were not in a position to see what we were doing, which means to now forgive others who are still blinded.

And most importantly, now we must, in a state of self forgiveness (which is very much like a return to innocence) teach by example. As we loudly and demonstrably live in partnership with Nature, we can let the fruits of doing that be the testimony that can help others have a change of perspective and a change of heart.

Our options now are so wide open to work with a freed up power we house in our hearts and psyches. This is not the time for regret or anger or lamenting. It is the time of creating, birthing, producing and living in a way that will be called by those just waking up 'miraculous.' We are already forgiven. We just need to forgive ourselves.



What the Blue Stars Talk About

1/16/2013

When I take my dogs out for their late night  under the stars walk, I remember to look up in my second story bedroom window and see a beatiful blue star shining there, a gift to me this Christmas. It glows and twinkles and always gives me a little thrill to see it up there, keeping vigil.

If I move my head just a quarter turn and look up into the sky, there she is, the other blue star, Sirius, my most favorite of all the twinklers. As I turn my head back to see my star in the window, and then back to Sirius, I suddenly realize something. They are communicating with each other, earth to heaven. I listen closely, and this is what I hear.

Earth star: So many humans are hard at work, doing all they can to shift this world in a whole new direction. It is still pretty chaotic down here but since that goes with the territory of all great transformations, I guess that is not entirely bad news. 

Sirius: From up here, we have a better view of the overall picture. We see the chaos seeming to ramp up but we hear the music in the background that understands the caterpillar's death, and what the chrysallis is for.

Earth star: What music is it that you speak of?

Sirius: The music of the spheres.

Earth star: I have heard of it.

Sirius: It is playing very loudly these days. The whole Universe is watching the Great Mother Gaia with such interest as she goes through the birth pangs of this amazing process. The music I mention is like the score to this magnificent event.

Earth star: Can the humans hear the music?

Sirius: They can indeed. Mostly they hear it in laughter and bird song, and the music of the whales. But they also hear it in deep silence and especially at sunrise.

Earth star: What do they make of this music?

Sirius: It makes them soar in confidence of the journey they are on. That is a very good thing for the journey is not without it's testing of their faith and their vision.
 
Earth star:There are so many brave and beautiful souls alive on earth now.
 
Sirius: Oh my yes, and as a result, things are going so well in ways that are not necessarily known to the public at large, at least not yet. We see all from up here, and assure you, sufficient numbers of human hearts are beating in a new rhythm, and most importantly, they are joining up, one with another. We can hear from all the way up here, the sound of the one human heart made up of individual hearts beating in synchrony. Talk about 'make a joyful noise.'

Earth star: Thank you Sirius for  all you do for us down here in our earth crysallis of transformation. I have long heard stories of the role you play with our solar system.

Sirius: Well, you see, it is easy because we are madly, passionately in love with you. Always have been. Always will be.


The Windows of Perception

1/12/2013

We are so used to think of seeing as primarily being a physical function. You have to stand aside from that orientation to understand what the gift of 'seeing' is really about.

When a mystic has a vision, or a shaman has a vision, or an artist has a vision, they  all have in common that they have opened the windows of perception within their own being and within their brain. These transcendant experiences were for the few in times past, comparatively speaking.That is no longer the case.

How long have we known that we only use a small percentage of our brain's capacity. How long have we, the general populace,  been shut down to seeing as a mystic, a shaman and an artist sees. How many people have been considered to be mentally ill because they opened their windows of perception and were able to see the worlds within worlds that we live in all the time. The answer is - what certainly feels like a very long time.

Not everyone wants to stray far outside the parameters of the familiar but I think that is about to change in a big way. Keeping ourselves small to stay safe and be comfortable is no longer working. There is a wave of creativity birthing that I think is directly coming from the windows of perception being thrown open for masses of people. This ability to see so much more than our singular reality can happen while awake, while sleeping, while meditating, while laughing, while being absorbed in something you love doing, while making love, while grieving, while traveling in the wild, while journeying with a shaman, while being suddenly stunned by the sound of a bird song. Any doorway will do.

The likelihood of transcendant experiences that show us whole new ways of seeing and being is very very strong at this time in our evolutionary spiral. No one is exempt from having these experiences now. It is no longer reserved for the special few. Finally, we humans, or at least a healthy number of us, are ready to mature into  far more of our brain's capacity to be an instrument to show us how big the adventures of our spirit can be.
 
I think there is a price of admission for this to happen, and it very much involves having an open heart or at least the interest in having an open heart. There again, massive open heart 'surgery' is happening on this planet all over the place now with the recent killings at Newtown being an example of how hearts can be transformed through compassion on a worldwide scale.

I have a very deep suspicion, and if I am right, it cannot happen a minute too soon. I think money as a god is going to be replaced by art. When I say art, I am not restricting it to any one expression. Anything is art that is the result of creative expression. I do not know how this transition will occur, but I sense it is already beginning. Open windows of perception on the parts of exponentially exploding numbers of people will show us how to shift our cultural centerpoles and allow the money god to finally loosen its grip. I have my own peeks into some of the other worlds, and I see enough to allow me to go out on this limb and share my suspicion.
 
With any luck at all, a bird will land on this limb I have gone out on and sing a glorious song to the sun in celebration of so much awakening as is happening on this planet, if you know where to look.

On Being a Visionary

1/7/2013

 
Picture

They say if the village doesn't have a vision, it will not survive.We, humanity, have now become a global village. Having visions of what we wish to create is now more important than  ever. The Divine Feminine in ancient times provided us with the Oracles, the visions that were leaned upon to know how to proceed when major life decisions were being made by whole cultures.She is now  returning with this same gift intact. She  can see what is wanting to be created in the heart of humanity, and she is filtering through women and through the feminine within a man. She comes in to groups and collectives as well, and she is showing the way, through the power of the visions she is giving us.

What if you cash in the idea of having goals (not that there is  anything wrong with that) for opening to your visions that seem to come out of nowhere and fill you with inspiration. The inspiration will quickly convert to motivation to gather your skills and be about the business of taking action in the world as a result of having borne witness to something vivid and undeniable, which is what a true vision always is. Trust what is coming through as if it is the map of your Destiny. Guess what. It is.

Expect more visions from here on out for the Divine Feminine is only just beginning in her adoring of us. The more we open up to what she gives us in the way of visions, the more the visions will show us, and we will easily know what to do. What an absolutely phenomenal way to do life we have laid out before us, ours for the taking.

The Real Polar Shift

1/6/2013

 
Picture

What was up, is now down, and down is up. The much touted 'Shift' has done this for us.
 
Over the past decades, there has been much talk of the planet switching poles. This talk stemmed from, in part, the fact that the angle of the axis of the earth has been changing and becoming more tilted and rather quickly, according to some. So the speculation was that it was just a matter of time until a flip occurred. Whatever you think about the science of it, I put to you, the flip has occurred, and it was in consciousness and centered around the time of the Winter Solstice of 2012.

Slowly, and in some instances, not so slowly, we will bear witness to the different aspects of this 'polar shift.' I have one to propose to you right now for your consideration.

It used to be that having proper boundaries was an important element of mental health, emotional safety and physical ehnancement. In psychological terms, people with "poor boundaries" would have issues that they would get professional health to address. Boundaries were considered to be a way to take care of ourselves so that we were not 'contaminated' by that which was outside of us that did not have our best interests at heart.

Since January 1 and my experience of going 'down the rabbit hole', my understanding of so much has flipped over to its opposite. What I propose to you is that, whereas boundaries, whether between people or groups or nations, used to have a certain functionality about them, that is no longer the case, nor is it safe. Now something altogether different is lining up.

The collective heart chakra has gotten so big that all of us with our own heart chakras can bathe in this matrix of love and drop our need for boundaries. It is a very very different way to do life. Unity Consciousness has enough of a foothold that we can afford to unrobe, and let the sparkler that is our soul's essence shine as brightly and as extensively as it is able to. There is no way, living in a state of constantly needing to erect barriers to be safe that we could do such a thing.

Here is something to think about. Where there is Love, you do not have to worry about safety. I repeat. Where there is Love, you do not have to worry about safety. Any kind of safety. Just to throw in a pinch of paradox, you will end up making very safe choices when you quit worrying about it. It simply goes with the territory of living in the now very large and strongly beating collective heart. Even if there is chaos around us, and there is, it cannot touch us in any way that deeply matters. This is one of the huge differences that the Shift has given us. Our knowing of our Spiritual Identity is now our protection from self engendered fears about all the 'what ifs.'

So there you have it. Lewis Carroll told us so many things in the classic "Through the Looking Glass" and "Alice in Wonderland" that now seems perfectlty obvious, having recently gone down the rabbit hole myself. This polar shift just has to be the all time greatest thing that has ever happened to the masses. The ones that are unaware of it, well, they will be, eventually, but . . .why wait?





The Heart of a Woman

1/5/2013

You are  going to get tired of hearing me say this, but I call it as I see it. It is all different now, this world we inhabit. Since Dec. 21, 2012, rhe old template was thrown out. Oh, there is residue, and hangers on to the old, but basically, the landscape is new.

The name of this new terrain is, what do you want to create, to have be the case, in any and all aspects of what life has to offer? We are at last in a position to do it all in whatever way is pleasing to our souls. It may take  a while to believe in the unlimited possibilities and  figure out how to navigate, but I'm thinking we are all going to turn into quick learners.

The reason for the title of the topic today has to do with a dream I had last night. In the dream, I was in the presence of a man with whom I felt a sense of expansion on all levels. I loved him with  all my heart. I felt desire for him in all the typical human ways  and at the same time, I felt something much bigger than personal intimacy take over. I knew no act of consumation would satisfy more than temporarily and I wanted to figure out what was this profound sense of aliveness trying to express beyond physical joining. I knew the man played an integral part in exploring this big question but I also knew, I had to go much deeper into myself to get an answer.

So, explore, I did. I was shown many things such as that being a mother and a companion and a lover and a caretaker are all integral to being a woman, but only a tiny piece of a much bigger picture. When I woke up, I was awash in a state of glory. It was all about the magnitude of 'Woman'. It was about the emanations coming from her heart, these endless streamings, and the incredible vitality that comes from allowing these streamings to flow and flow..

 I lay in bed and explored in my inner worlds the energies coursing through me. Finally, it dawned, I was being inhabited by the Divine Feminine. Within her I found that all universes and worlds are located, which is why she cannot be limited to roles.. It is she who has come in to enliven men and women alike, and show us the "more" of life. She is limitless in what she offers and is currently incubating.
 
Adjusting to her is what we are all being given an opportunity to do and then each of us can decide how to utilize her offering in whatever creative, love-centered way feels best to us. I have chosen the tiniest of birds, the hummingbird, with the beautiful heart on her chest as she sits on her nest to exemplify this new archetype of life that is flooding this planet. It feels right to do so for some reason. You may understand that better than I do.

Lightness of Being

1/4/2013

Have you noticed a mental unburdening of late? Our minds are carrying a lesser load. I distinctly have noticed this since Dec. 21, 2012. When thoughts do pile up like a jammed expressway here and there, the desire to hang on to the thoughts or take them seriously immediately starts dissipating. And most especially, the desire to hook emotions onto them is much less tempting.

While laying in bed last night before going to sleep, I had a thought. Shakespeare's writing seems timeless. His plays about human drama and motivation have been for centuries as current as they were when he wrote them. But what if we, as we are leaving much of who we thought we were behind, just lose interest in the drama. Will Shakespeare have less appeal  to the future us?

We are likely in a large window of time of shifting into a new version of ourselves so it is not as if you will wake up tomorrow and be completely different in how you move in life, but you might. That does happen. And sudden shifting could happen more and more as things within your being hit critical mass. Groups of people can shift together quickly as well. But let's say, you do not notice anything near that swift moving. There is still plenty of evidence of 'shift' all around you. Lightness of Being as my mind cuts me some slack is what I am currently noticing. My mind seems to move as these sand cranes do. I still have plenty of mental heft (or I like to think so), but I am light on my feet and much less burdened, and that includes subconscious mind as well. We finally get to travel lighter en masse. I think that alone is going to unleash massive amounts of creativity. Your personal flowering of abilities is probably going to take you quite by surprise. Enjoy.


2013 - All Fired Up and Ready to Go

1/3/2013

my dog team in the Arctic Circle, Finland
You don't know what enthusiasm is until you see a sled team hitched up  in preparation for a run. The dogs absolutely levitate in excitement. The barking in unison goes past the pain threshhold.

This is my take on this year. We are ready to run full out. We have held back too long, and in truth, have had to hold back because it was not time to run full out, but now it is. The door has been thrown open.

Everyone has their own style. Some rush helter skelter into the new. Some put one tentative paw out at a time. Some wait to see what others are doing. Eventually, everyone catches on . . .we are free to express our truth and our best, and the world needs us. What joy to finally be set loose to run out the full length of our soul's intention in this lifetime. Lucky lucky us, to be born in this time.


Theme for 2013 - You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do

1/2/2013

Yours Truly - Polar Plunge 2006
Here's the thing. 2012 changed us. It really did, in ways we don't even know about yet. Part of you knows everything about you, but that is not necessarily the one you talk to inside your own head.

Because we are new, I think 2013 is a great year to trust that inner urging to go out on a limb, take a risk, make your heart sing a whole octave higher and for goodness sake ( and I actually mean that literally) when you are inspired to do something that may make no sense and may seem like a radical departure from your accustomed way of doing things, just do it. Nike was right.

I am certainly not saying go off the deep end and defy common sense but common sense itself received a major upgrade in 2012. You don't want to be like the bear used to walking the parameters of his cage and, when the cage was lifted off and he had his freedom, he kept walking the same parameters.

This year I feel is aching to receive our gifts. Your first gift to this world is you yourself, and the best way to give the gift of you is do what pleases you to the point you think you are going to burst wide open. It's time for our work and our play to be the same thing. Let's make it so in this year that carries the magical number 13 in it.
