I believe that the totality of all creation comprises the Godhead. I believe we are each a part of God, and not just us humans. I’ve experience that everything has consciousness, and since consciousness exists on a sub-atomic level, to me that means that everything that has physical form has consciousness, whether it expresses it in a way we recognize or not. That means not only the animals and plants and rocks, but also the desk I’m sitting at, the computer on it, the chair I’m in and the smoke wafting from the incense I have burning. It took me many years of reading and hearing about that as a concept before I actually experienced it for myself. I considered it a plausible idea that everything had consciousness, yet didn’t have the actually knowing of it until years later. So if this is a new concept for you, just tuck it away and consider it from time to time and when the time is right, you’ll experience it for yourself and your world will change for the better.

To one truly sincere about making amends: one way would be to remove untrue accusations and return items borrowed.  They won’t be reported stolen, that’s not how I roll.  Matters not to me either way, I know who I am, I’m over it, but since you’re asking, if you’re truly sincere, that’s a great first step.

One who opens doors, carries the heavy stuff and fixes things. Who makes plans yet goes with the flow. Who is calming to be around, and invigorating to speak with.  Who balances business with dancing in the moonlight.  Who can bang a gong and get it on in the astral planes with psychic talk and energy work. Who knows when to appear and when to begone.  Who groks both the private and public me.  Who sees the person and not the trick pony. Kudos to me for attracting that.  I rock.

Youtube video Cris Williamson sings ‘Song of the Soul” from “The Changer and the Changed.”  What a wonderful waltzy dancey tune, I must listen to this out under the full moon tonight.  Thank you my brother JJ Utrada for the reminder. Lyrics below.   Continue reading →

Out in the garden just now, I got kissed by a wandering butterfly. Twice! It was the most magic of moments. This Magic Moment by Ben E. King is a fave song, I think of kissing the earth with my feet, being kissed by the sunshine, the wind and the rain. In comparison, the human mortal kiss pales.

I love the butterfly imagery here: every morning we burst anew from the cocoon of our prior day’s understanding, into a gloriously technicolored new world of endless possibilities. Like the butterfly, we’re allowed to flit from one thing to another to find what we want to finally alight on for awhile.  We can fly as high as we want and we can dare to fly into the sprinklers as well.  My daily search is for the sweetest nectar to be found. I find it everywhere, with everyone.

Quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. ~ Lao Tzu

Today was pretty magical all around. They delivered the July Horizons Magazine and I got the mailing to the post office in record time. I had a nice energetic reboot in the noon rainfall.  At sundown, I celebrated the Summer solstice walking on the beach and drumming with friends at the Boardwalk.  We watched the full moon rise and I connected with a soul sister from back in the day. The moon looked amazing reflecting off the water and in the wet sand. I came home to bask awhile in its light and listen to the night sounds. Thank you, Whomever/Whatever is Responsible, for this blessed life I have and everyone in it.

On particularly rough days when you’re sure you can’t possibly endure, remind yourself that your track record for getting through bad times so far is 100% and that’s pretty good.  It would go so much easier if you stopped telling the old story, stopped identifying yourself with an abusive past.  Your focus on it keeps the pattern repeating itself in your life.  You’re stronger than you think.  You don’t need the old story.  Who you are right now is enough.
