I used to think the totality of humanity comprised the Godhead.  Now I believe it’s the totality of creation.

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a shaman or medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions.  When did you stop dancing?  When did you stop singing?  When did you stop being enchanted by stories?  When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?  Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experience the loss of soul.  Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves.  ~ The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Healer, Teacher and Visionary

The only way you can deactivate something is by withdrawing your  attention from it, because as long as it has your attention, it’s activated.

Tonight, the closest Moon/Jupiter conjunction until the year 2026. In our very own universe.  Moon conjunct Jupiter = Elevated moods. This is a lucky, expansive, happy, and prosperous period. Some  emotional relief is likely, particularly with regards to your personal life. Domestic changes and legal affairs are favored, particularly dealings with property and renovations. It’s a good time to write, teach, learn, publish, promote, and take tests. You may enjoy opportunities to do any of these things now. Your desire for pleasure is strong right now.  Disagreements with others are rare during this period, generally because you are more likely to take the high road than to resort to pettiness.

“The rediscovered knowledge of the science of sound shows that sound is something more than mere vibratory signals, not only does sound interact with life but it sustains and develops it. It acts as a conduit of conscious intent between people, societies and entire civilizations.” -Kymatica Documentary (2009)

If you let your guard down long enough
You might just like what lets itself on in
If you open the door just a crack or two
You’ll get a flash of what you’ve been missing Continue reading →

Napping today, I got the image of a bird flying straight up into the sky and bursting into a spray of firecracker like sparkles. Yesterday a friend and I were talking about burning away the (unhealthy parts of the) ego and what the personality goes through on its way to reconciliation with the soul.  We’re the creator of our own reality, yes. And when we make ourselves go down in flames, we then have a chance to, like the phoenix rising from our own ashes, become more fully formed now that another layer of dross has been burned away.
