And they were

And they were gathered all together, huddled together deep in thought, 

Wondering how it could be, how possibly love had escaped them, wondering how they ended up here in this space, this empty, dark space all together. 

They wondered, what does it mean and why is it so dark? 

How could a light so bright just fizzle and die. 

Will it come back? Will we see it in this dark space? Is there hope? 

While they were sitting and thinking and wondering, a little firefly flitted by. Most had their heads down staring at the dark cold ground, but a few others, a very few held their heads high and were looking towards the sky. In that moment they knew yes there is hope yes, I will leave this place, out of the dark into the light once more. And their hearts grew happy and light and so they started to look for signs to determine the best way out. 

They looked to the others who were still sitting with their heads bowed low to the ground an and they told them that they had seen a firefly, however the others wouldn't believe them, they wouldn't even look up. 

So the few came together and started to share ideas on how to get out of that dark place, and the more ideas they shared their hearts began to glow brighter and brighter until eventually another firefly flitted by. 

So now there were two fireflies hanging about over their heads. 

They again told the others, but the others didn't believe or even care to listen and they kept their heads bowed low to the dark ground. 

So the few came together and shrugged and continued sharing and their hearts grew brighter and brighter, and in a moment they looked up and there were dozens of fireflies flitting about above them. They were amazed and happy and they realized they were the ones creating those little lights. 

So this time they decided to let the others stare at the ground in darkness,  in hope that they will start to see the ground light up and look up to the sky. 

So again the few came together and started communicating, sharing ideas, sharing emotions, experiences and traumas, and the light in the room eventually became so bright that the walls and the floor and the ceiling were glowing and there were too many fireflies to count flitting about around them. 

They again looked at the others, but although the entire space was glowing they still were sitting with their heads bowed low to the ground. 

The few felt sad for them but they rationalized that eventually they will raise their heads if they just kept doing what they were doing. 

Some time passed and by now the room was so bright that they could see a door, a way out, and they were so happy and surprised for they had completely forgotten that they wanted to get out. 

They looked back at the others and a few started to raise their heads and follow, some tried to get them to stop, and a few listened but some got up and joined the few and their hearts started glowing as well. 

They all started to walk to the door and the first few opened it into a magical place where anything was possible and they walked through the door. Some others hesitated but eventually walked through and then others grew fearful and only stood at the door looking, but would not go through and then there were others still sitting on the floor with their heads bowed low to the ground. 

Again and again

I've been to heaven
I've taken long journeys in hell
Sat in darkness with my eyes closed
Until they came to wake me up
I've built myself up and torn myself down again
I walked through hell again
I've cried I've died
Dismissing the thought of breathing again
But I woke up again
They came to pick me up
To show me the light again
To guide me again
Then for a moment I could see it
Perfect clarity graced me
Tempting me to hope again
But it is still winter
Spring is forgotten in the ice crystals
And I am walking in hell again
Some warm breeze tickles my mind
And I can see the green again
The green I can find
The change in my mind
The season of change is in range
The cold still bites at my soul
But the warmth
The promise kisses the hope of change
Kissing me again and again

Love wins

There was a family
A father, mother, two sons and a daughter.
This family loved animals and decided to adopt a dog.

The oldest brother immediately took the dog and started aggressively training him. Through this aggression the dog complied and obeyed his new master. In response the older brother would hold his head high and show off to family and friends his accomplishments. When they gave him the attention he desired, he would then ignore and treat the dog badly.

His sister, who was the middle child of her brothers, felt very sad about the mistreatment of the animal, she loved the dog very much. So when her brother grew tired and abandoned the dog she immediately took over and would play with him and let him have free will doing what he pleased. The dog was very happy and loved her very much as well. He would always come when she called and when he heard her voice would jump with excitement. The dog loved her trusted her and always obeyed her.

One day her older brother saw how much the dog loved her and how he always obeyed her without even a treat. The dog would wag his tail and follow her around. But from him the dog would always run and hide. So he became jealous and angry with his sister. So one day when his sister and the dog were playing in a distance field and their father wasn't looking he took the dog from his sister, telling her that "it" had to follow rules. When she protested he hit her so hard she fell back inside a deep ditch unconscious and unable to climb out.
That evening when the sun started to set and the daughter hadn't returned, the father grew nervous, and begin to worry. He asked his son who was holding the dog on a chain where his sister was. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued what he was doing without even looking up. Immediately, the father knew that he had done something terrible so he went looking for his daughter everywhere.

Finally, the next morning he found her in the ditch. She was awake but couldn't climb out. Her father lifted her out into his arms and asked her who did this terrible thing to her. Her face was completely bruised and the back of her head had been bleeding. She replied that her brother was angry about the dog and became violent.

Her father became hot with anger. So when they returned and he gave his daughter to her mother, he called his son.

"Why have you done this to your sister? You are to protect her from other people doing this and you yourself have done this terrible thing! Now you shall pay with your inheritance and you will leave at once! I don't want to see your face again."

The son pleaded with his father but it was to late what done was done. His father wanted to make an example of him.

In the meantime while the daughter was healing the younger son decided to take care of the dog. But he wanted to do everything properly, so he bought the biggest most expensive book he could find on taking care of dogs and followed it rule by rule, never deviating. He was proud of himself and wanted to impress his father. However, the dog still preferred to stay with his sister and would run when he called him.

Soon his sister was better, she and the dog played joyfully as before, no treats, no rulebook. The dog did whatever it wanted but would always obey her.

One day, the younger brother, sister and their father were all outside enjoying the weather. Of course, the sister was playing with the dog. Her brother felt that this was a perfect opportunity to impress his father with what he trained the dog to do. So he tried calling the dog, but it would not come. Then he walked up to him and gave him a command. But the dog ignored him and kept playing with the sister.

Finally, the brother became angry and took the dog aggressively from his sister, yelling and demeaning his sister right in front of their father. However, he refrained from hitting her, he didn't want the punishment his brother received.

When the father saw what his son was doing to his sister, he became hot with anger. He couldn't tolerate anyone abusing his daughter in any way. So he took the dog from his son and returned it to his daughter.

Seeing what her father was about to do, she stopped him. "Father, she said, please forgive him, he doesn't yet understand. Please don't send him away." For she loved both her brothers, and she knew that they didn't understand how to love. "Father, he can learn, please be patient."

In that moment the father saw that his daughter understood true love, not only with the dog who loved her back but with her brothers who did not.

So he gave her the dog to care for along with the inheritance of the two sons. This gave her dominion over the family and both brothers would have to answer always to her. For he knew that she would always be loving and fair.

Father = Heavenly Father
Older brother = those who disrespect God and those around them
Younger Brother = those who only follow the rules of love but are disconnected from it
Daughter = Jesus and the Divine Feminine
Dog = can be any of us

Love is all that matters. You can't find it in a book. You can't receive it from doing evil things.

A Message from the Runes

Perth
Initiation
Something Hidden
A Secret Matter

A hieratic or mystery Rune, Perth points to that which is beyond our frail manipulative powers. This Rune is on the side of heaven, the Unknowable, and has associations with the Phoenix, that mystical bird which consumes itself in the fire and then rises from it's own ashes. Its ways are secret and hidden.

Deep inner transformational forces are at work here. Yet what is achieved is not easily or readily shared. An integrity is involved that may be masked, disguised or secret. After all, becoming whole, the means of it, is a profound secret.

On the side of the earthly or mundane, there may well be surprises, gains or rewards you did not anticipate. On the side of Human nature, this Rune is symbolized by the flight of the Eagle. Soaring flight, free from entanglement, lifting yourself above the endless ebb and flow of ordinary life to acquire broader vision - all this is indicated here.

Another of the Cycle Runes, Perth signifies in intense aspect of Initiation. Nothing external matters here, except as it shows you its inner reflection. This Rune is concerned with the deepest stratum of your being, the bedrock on which your Destiny is founded. For some, Perth means experiencing a death. If need be, let go of everything, no exceptions, no exclusion. Nothing less than renewal of the Spirit is at stake.

Reversed
A counsel against expecting too much, or expecting in the ordinary way, for the old way has come to an end: you simply cannot repeat the old and not suffer. Call in your scattered Energies, concentrate on your own life at this moment, your own requirements for growth. More important, Perth counsels you neither to focus on outcomes nor bind yourself to the memory of past achievements. For in doing so you rob yourself of a true present, the only time in which self-change can be realized.

You may feel overwhelmed with exhaustion from meeting obstruction upon obstruction in your passage. Yes always you have a choice you can see this apparent negativity as bad luck, or you can recognize it as an obstacle course, a challenge specific to the Initiation you are presently undergoing. With each set back, each humiliation, becomes a test of character. When you're inner being is shifting and reforming on a deep level, patience, constancy and perseverance are called for. To stay centered see the humor, and keep your faith firm.

So That We May Be Gathered and Made Whole Once Again

O Cosmic birther of all Radiance and Vibration

Soften the Ground of Our Being
And Carve Out a Space Within Us Where Your Presence can Abide

Fill Us With Your Creativity So That We May Be Empowered to Bear the Fruit of Your Mission

Let Each of Our Actions Bear Fruit in Accordance With Your Desire

Endow Us with the Wisdom to Produce and Share what Each Being Needs to Grow and Flourish

Untie the Tangled Threads of Destiny that Binds Us
As We Release Others From the Entanglement of Past Mistakes

Do Not Let Us be Seduced by What Would Divert Us From our True Purpose
But Illuminate the Opportunities of the Present Moment

For You are the Ground and the Fruitful Vision
The Birth
Power and Fulfillment
As all is Gathered and Made Whole Once Again

I can say the first time a friend showed me this translation of the Lord's Prayer I was completely overcome by emotion. It vibrates the deep love that resides in our center being, expanding it, shattering any walls that block our hearts from giving and receiving unconditional and divine love.

This prayer asks the Creator, the Source of life and love to help us, to allow us to be drawn closer to the love and protection, that is so very abundant when our complete reliance is on the Divine.

This prayer also reminds how important it is to attract to ourselves what we desire through our thoughts and actions. As well as when opportunities arise we are able to see them and take hold. Teaching us to stay present.

Forgiving ourselves and others is extremely important for the health of our energetic and physical being, it releases us from a negative cycle that seeks to destroy our happiness, our serenity.

By the end of the prayer we are reminded how grand the creator is. The Ground and fruitful vision. Representing the real reality we want to create. The birth or manifestation of that vision into our reality. The power and fulfillment, which suggests how grand our creator is and how nothing is to great, or to much, abundance flows infinitely from the heavens.
As we are gathered and made whole we realize that we are all connected to each other and the Universe, we are love and we are loved.

Love and Light

 

Well, Is It a Conspiracy?

There are so many conspiracy theories out there, so many
It's hard to tell who's who and what's what
Who is right Who is wrong and why
Well what if these theories are only created as a distraction
To distract away from what is really important
Our true purpose

LOVE

When giving this so called "information" your attention
We also give it power
These theories are created so that we can make sense of the evil in the world
and
Genuinely, we want to change it
But it is only a distraction from our inner voice

By concentrating on these things we are relinquishing our power to them
Just think about the feeling when reading or hearing about these things
The anger, frustration the deep sadness
Are we not creating a cloud of negative energy around us?

So by letting these things bring us into a negative state they have already done what was needed

Lowering your vibration

Instead when hearing these things send those people, beings LOVE
They have forgotten who they are they have forgotten that they as well as you were created
out of love
Remind them what it feels like to be one with all creation, to be connected

Even Demons are Angels who forgot Love
So being in a loving state yourself is the only way to show every being who they really are, which is love
It is important to stay surrounded with positive energy regardless of what is going on around you

We can only conquer darkness with light
By staying in your own positive energy you are conquering darkness

Remember that all of us will be judged
The source of all creation is watching and knows who loves and who does not
and will act accordingly

BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU BE LOVING POSITIVE AND YOUR VIBRATION WILL, BY THE LAW OF NATURE DIFFUSE ON TO ALL BEINGS

Send them love
That is what they need to be reminded of love
When doing this we also remind ourselves that we are beings made of love

Be Honest with Yourself

Follow your true feelings about every situation
Your intuition
No one has the answers for you they all come from within

Continue to heal your relationships
Allowing the heart chakra to open wider and wider
Forgive
Forgive those who have done unloving things
They are the ones who need love the most
Heal your relationship with yourself
Forgive yourself you are on a journey back to love
Back to the source, the source of love and all creation
No need to rush, one step at a time

As you strengthen your relationship with the universe with the source
The relationships around you will also strengthen and heal
Remember the end result of what you desire
Only you can attract that very thing to yourself through the law of attraction

Then the changes that are necessary to occur will
Embrace these changes, they will rid you of anything that is blocking you

Remember who you are and what you stand for

Light and Love

You and Purity

Every moment is your moment
You are free to do whatever makes you happy
There is no judgement in your moment
There is no rejection
Your moment is pure
You are pure
You are beautifully you

Breathe life and love in everything you do
Then be that life
Be that love

Open up to the heavens pouring love onto your soul
Open up to the light
Open up to the abundance the Universe has provided
All that you need
All you could ever want
Right there waiting for you to grab a hold of

Just reach out

Reach out and take what you need
Then give to others what they need

Help them take that next step through life
Help them lift themselves up from the mud the dirt and all things heavy

Destroy the illusions so they can see the light
So they can breathe in the love
So they can be free
Free to be in the light
