Gods, religions and wars

It seems that the religious texts are a manual for how events will
happen so as to realize the agenda of that religion's  Creator aka
Alien; adherents of that religion make sure what is "predicted" in
the text is followed through. So many religions, many agendas,
human puppets to make their religious stories real - war, mayhem,
beheading races, inter-racial war, famine (yes, the scientists create
the pestilence and let loose upon the world in accordance to religious
texts) to keep humanity on their knees praying to these alien beings.
And the working out of events on Earth is in keeping with some non-
physical plan they have for what they want on Earth and the process
seems to be through what is scripted in religious texts.
So these Creators' scripts is all about war, killings, pain and suffering.
How then can we say we want peace? How then, can we blame the
human beings who are manipulated for good or evil from above and
below?

Yet it seems that there are many who see something even more
momentous than these petty stories panning out ... something bigger
than the little creator gods...

Dare we believe .... ?

A little Shiva?

 

 

A reader said this to me ... to dive into the

pain... to feel deep into it till I break free

into bliss. A therapist told me she went

deep into her pain till she broke free of it.

Hmmm... I have experiened so much pain

with Anand's autism ... yes I wallowed in

it. Now I am just 'jaded' ... no break throughs,

just a tacit acceptance of that which is just

beyond explanation, a feeling of being a toy

in some higher beings' hands makes me livid!

 

 

 

 

Looking at ourselves in ways that we are unaccustomed to is not an
easy thing to do. But it is the key to emotional freedom...

From the Triangles Bulletin

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of  human
existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere
being.                                   ~ Carl Jung

Only when the light of reason is dimmed by the radiant
sun of wisdom will all things be seen in their just
proportions                           ~ Alice Bailey

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines
a good deed in a weary world.
                                              ~ William Shakespeare

The Charter of Compassion  ~ Karen Armstrong
Make compassion a clear, luminous and dynamic force in
our polarized world. Born of our deep interdependance,
compassion is essential to human relationships and to a
fulfilled  humanity. It is a path to enlightenment, and
indispensable to the creation of a just economy and a
peaceful global community. Compassion can break down
political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries.

Keep it simple

Keep it simple, there's no need for you to read all spiritual books under the sun:
“Another delay on the way to Enlightenment is the supposition that one has to master and assimilate a vast amount of spiritual information in order to achieve spiritual success. Spiritual libraries usually contain hundreds of books, in addition to which are endless workshops, training groups, and diversions that may lead to an intense study of theology, metaphysics, philosophers, religious histories, and the like. While valuable information does arise along the way, it often ends up being more of an interference than a help because the accumulated erudition reinforces spiritual pride and the self-delusion of “I know.”
To cut through the complexity, it is really only necessary to know and apply a few simple spiritual tools, the efficacy of which is enormously empowered by the consistency of their practice and continuous application to everything, no matter what, with no exceptions. To be serviceable and useful, the tool has to be simple and brief, perhaps consisting of only a single concept. To be remembered is that spiritual evolution is not the consequence of knowing about the Truth, but the willingness to become that truth. To learn about spiritual reality is interesting and has some benefit. It is best to choose by intuition and attraction a spiritual teacher and teachings or a school to which one feels aligned and the validity of which has been verified by consciousness calibration techniques.”

9 coping tips for empaths

From a Avalon Forum post ....

Fr: Snowflower:When SHTF isn't a huge catastrophe the whole world feels all at once. It is a hundred thousand billion little things happening to humans all over the planet. Like a slow tide creeping onto the beach that just keeps coming. Eventually it swallows the world. Without being recognized as a threat until it's too late.

Fr: a fellow well wisher: RunningDear.
Dear White Buffalo Calf Woman,
Woman of knowledge, versatility, generosity and soul.
I send great blessing and healing to you. 

May the wind always be on your back and the sun upon your face
and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.”





Fr: Innocent Warrior:



I've thought this myself, Sunflower. My life is falling apart, it will if I let it, so I have to make my life about something else to save it. The energy is wild at the moment, a lot of things coming to a head, it seems. I've just spent the last few days walking through hell, I'm still numb, still trying to get off my knees, to get out. It pushes us to be the only part of us that can't be touched, the consciousness, the I am. This isn't fun and it's harder than I ever imagined but we're here and I refuse to give up. Uncanny, what you said, about not recognising the threat until it's too late. I have spent the last few days looking at my life, where I am, this world, and I think to myself, wow, how did I walk into the belly of the beast without realising I was doing it? You are not alone, just know that. Never forget, nobody can touch the real us...ever.


Fr Sandy: Hang in Ladies of Strength.........you are on your way with accepting the state of paralysis. You are quietly building strength for the next step.

Something will be coming to move you and when it does we won't see you for dust.............and I will eat my words if this is not your history.

You both have too much on the ball to stay stuck for long so be where you are and get ready as the energy of change is coming and I place my bet on you both being CHANGE MASTERS!!

A Personal Reminder

Guard closely the gates of desire - of emotions, mind and senses
What you let in and what you keep out...
Is based on your value system, your values
Which in turn form your Character
Upon which rides your Soul
Manifesting, experiencing, fulfilling
Its purpose.

Be sure, be firm, be composed,
On your stand - unwavering
to the whims and fancies of desire
which ever rocks the foundation four square
and threatens the Work of the Alchemist
The Soul

As we weave our way through life
We form a solid base upon which we build and grow.
Being too flexible and adaptable
While makes one likeable and maleable
Unfortunately does not form a container
For the Soul.

So stop being so changeable, so fickle, so finicky

Before starting on the spiritual path
First build your character firm and solid
Upon a value system held close to the heart
And qualities of soul stamped into place
Impeachable, pure and whole.
For only then can Spirit descend
And grace the temple of form
in Holyness make Whole.

This is important

All the time we spend running around to trying to save the world as demanded by esoteric schools is really aimless. Nothing gets done on a personal level because single pointed attention is just not there. At the end of one's life one has not achieved one or the other!


The world is one huge place. There is nothing to save; noone to save. Nor can we even if we tried!
So we should spend this precious lifetime working on ourselves - this is the greatest way we can make a difference in the energetics of the world. By changing our energetic system. When we become enlightened the whole of humanity becomes enlightened a little and is nearer to salvation.

Seems plausible ...

SACRED PRESENCE OF LANDSCAPE

Water in a landscape is a fascinating thing as well. I often think that water is the tears of the earth’s joy and sadness. Every kind of water in a landscape has a different kind of tonality and a different kind of presence to it. You think of the stillness of a well, of the energy of a stream, of the totality of the ocean or the singularity and memory of a river. I also think that trees are incredible presences. There is incredible symmetry in a tree, between its inner life and its outer life, between its rooted memory and its external active presence. A tree grows up and grows down at once and produces enough branches to incarnate its wild divinity. It doesn’t limit itself – it reaches for the sky and it reaches for the source, all in one seamless kind of movement. So I think landscape is an incredible, mystical teacher, and when you begin to tune into its sacred presence, something shifts inside you. ~~ John O'Donohue  
 

Haircut rap

 By Valerie Bloom

Ah sey, ah want it short,
Short back an side,
Ah tell him man, ah tell him
When ah teck him aside,
Ah sey, ah want a haircut
Ah can wear wid pride
So lef it long on top
But short back an side.

Ah sey try an put a patten
In da shorter part,
Yuh could put a skull an crossbone,
Or an arrow through a heart,
Meck sure ah have enough hair lef ‘
Fe cover me wart,
Lef a likkle pon the top,
But the res keep short

Well, bwoy, him start to cut
An me settle down to wait,
Him was cuttin’ from seven
Till half past eight,
Ah was startin to get worried
‘Cause ah see its getting late,
But then him put the scissors down
Sey, ‘there you are mate 

Well, ah did see a skull an' a 
Criss-cross bone or two,
But was me own skull an' bone
That was peepin' through,
Ah look jus' like a monkey
Ah did see once at the zoo,
Him say, 'What's de matter, Tammy,
Don't yuh like the hair-do?"

Well, ah feel me heart stop beatin'
When me look pon me reflection,
Ah  feel like somet'ing  frizzle up
Right in me middle section.
Ah look aroun' fe somewhey
Ah could crawl an' hide
The day I meck me brother cut
Me hair short back an' side. 

 

To have striven, to have made an effort, to have been true to certain ideals -- this alone is worth the struggle. We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life.

Beautiful Red Fox

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between 2 “wolves” inside us all. One is Evil (fear). It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good (Love). It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

What Is Your Psychic Reading?

Life hasn't been exactly easy for you lately, but you are where you are supposed to be. The balance you are seeking will fall into place. The work that you have done, and are doing, will not go to waste. You will start to taste the sweet side of "bittersweet" that you have been craving. In your love life, and in your career as well, things are kind of on hold, and for good reason. Although you crave more emotional intimacy, and financial reward from your work, those things will come in time, when the balancing act is achieved. Exercise patience. You have had your fair share of hardship throughout your life, and when you come out of this confusing and chaotic time, you will be the leader and creative spirit others know you to be
