Divine As Nature= New Earth

(originally posted on Earth Day, April 22, 2012)


Blessings on this beautiful Earth Day!

Today I saw a talk given by a woman who represented the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature which was very inspiring and which dovetailed into what has been emerging on a deeper level in these past months; the reawakening of the Divine Feminine.

In some ways the recent interest began with the intention of completing one of the books that has been asking for attention.  There are many books now, in various levels of completion, hence the feminine way of multitasking and the ability to nurture and take care of many ‘children’ as they grow.  Being present to, listening, and allowing each one to evolve in it’s own time and manner.
The book that has recently found the most attention is one involving the living food path I’ve been involved with over the last decade.  After leading cleanses for several years it had been suggested that a book be created from the material used.  So what began as a book on cleansing, purifying, and recognizing the effects of our food choices on the environment has evolved into including material coming from devas, elementals, earth spirits, faeries, and the Mother Earth.

Years ago when the Living Beyond Belief book was written, it was written with the same energy of allowing for the theme and material to present itself, rather than going in with an idea, or an outline, and attempting to dictate a message.  I initially tried to do it that way, but nothing was happening.  I have been meeting and talking with many women ( and some men too) who can no longer create in a predominantly masculine energy and some are in great judgment of themselves, and worried, thinking there is something wrong.  There is nothing wrong.  This has been happening for many of us over the last decade especially.  We are being called to something deeper.  Intuition, receptivity, deep listening, feeling, holding, nurturing, being, trusting, knowing.  There is no need to force, there is no idea to prove or concept to attach to.  There is action on behalf of the heart and soul.  The Living Beyond Belief book sprang from the loins as well as gushed from the heart.  It had a life of it’s own and felt as if it was a force of nature. There was no discipline involved in writing it- it had come to place where it could not not be written.

The Feminine aspect has been an ongoing and central interest for many years, since it is so clear the deep change and great shift talked about is centered around the re-emergence of the Feminine.  Since it had been so systematically wiped out by a patriarchal way of seeing, being and living, it is a challenge for many women (and men) to even understand what had been lost, much less bring it back.
But, it is happening none the less.  It will happen with or without us.  If we refuse the call to depth, to the shadow, to the wild, to the unknown and the uncontrollable, we will deeply regret it.  Not because we will be punished for it, although that may be how we will experience it, but because we will miss the greater opportunity to realize our nature not only as Spirit but as Nature Itself.  We will miss the communion with the Mother, along with the Father, and a way of living on Earth that is only now becoming a possibility in these times.

Women will lead this new becoming, not by years of university training or astute logic, but by the wisdom encased within as they learn to turn further inside of themselves and trust what has always been.  Men will not follow women, but allow themselves to be guided within as well, and become co-creative partners in this new awakening.  A place where human is not sinful by nature, but Divine as Nature.  Where the conceptual  and intellectual mind is appreciated but not revered as all knowing.  And where Peace, Joy, Beauty, Freedom are no longer etheric energies and wished for realities but manifest as the New Heaven New Earth.

This will take impossible changes from every one of us.  The same kind of impossibility of the caterpillar becoming the butterfly.  We will be called to change in ways we cannot even imagine, some areas of our lives or ways of being will completely melt down.  Many of us have already begun this process, are deeply engaged in it now, or are on the other side and guiding others through it, while still engaged in an ever deepening becoming.

Blessings to all beings,
including the two leggeds and four leggeds, the earth bound and flying ones, the trees, rocks, streams, oceans, lakes, plants, flowers, hills, mountains, forests, to all realms and dimensions of the Mother, to those of the Inner Earth,
Blessings.
May we all living in Harmony.

A Good Day (Friday) to Die

On this Good Friday I have been reflecting upon how my ideas and practices of this season have expanded over the years.

In childhood my Oma (Grandma) would buy matching dresses for me and my sister (which actually brings mixed emotions. To note, it did bring much joy to Oma.) On Easter morning we would find delightfully full Easter baskets that some amazingly gifted bunny had left somewhere in the house, go have brunch at a beautiful hotel, ice sculptures, minstrels, and all, and, usually somewhere in there an Easter egg hunt would also take place, with all the children amped out on bunny chocolate.
Gosh that was fun stuff!

As we got older my sister and I eventually boycotted the matching dress deal, which was met with much resistance, but I think we actually won out when I was about thirteen. (No, I will not be posting pictures!)

As I got older, rather than looking forward to getting an Easter dress or basket, the brunch and bottomless champagne was the main attraction (but at over 200 pounds the bunny chocolate still had it's appeal, if you know what I mean). Hmmm... just how much champagne could one drink while still maintaining balance on high heels and several trips to the buffet line? But, you know, even that was kind of fun too. Well, sort of.

But these days it's a whole different kind of life and a whole different kind of fun. These days the fun begins on the Spring Equinox with an outdoor ceremony and connection with the Mother. A celebration of Her cycles and deep wisdom of the Feminine.

When we get to Good Friday we are reminded of the very real possibility of outrageous transformation. Too bad religion has put such a heavy sinful trip on us all-- I mean Jesus, he wouldn't have done that! He said follow me, greater things shall ye do. Holy Cow. Forget the bunny chocolate ( unless it's raw and high quality ), forget the champagne, how fun is experientally, first hand, realizing your true eternal nature- that who you really are was never born and can never die! This is wild fun stuff!!

A favorite quote is from the movie "Shawshank Redemption", where Red says, "Either get busy living, or get busy dying."
Great advice.
Alrighty then, let's do this thing ;)
Letting go of what never was, in order for What Is to reveal Itself fully and wonderfully and beautifully!!

Have a Good Friday and a Shockingly Transformative Weekend-
See you at the celebration on Sunday!

And, Always in the Now...
