Standing in Light: A Call to Our Power

This moment in our history calls to us to stand in our power, the power of our love, our hope, our joy, and our Light. It’s up to each of us to determine how we do so in order to bring energies of peace, compassion, and courage to meet the needs of the world. As I say, there are many tools available to us to bring love to our world. We simply need to use them.

The Beauty of Human Energy

But what my latest illness has done is given me a portal into this arena of human endeavor on behalf of humanity. It has made me even more aware of the beauty of our human energy and creativity as we seek to make the world a better, safer, healthier place. Now, I take into my body not poison, not chemicals, but Light flowing from this human energy.

Maramataka

As we approach this September Equinox, I was preparing by focusing on the time of balance and the equality of day and night time, on that moment between the shifting of light and seasons. Then with the super full Moon we have just experienced here, I realized we all have the same moon cycle wherever we are on Gaia. Our planetary rhythms dance in and out of wholeness itself!

A Time of Balance

But what really stirs my heart is the night sky, so clear, so full of stars. The Southern Cross is the smallest constellation in the night sky. The Crux as it is called holds special meaning in Australia and New Zealand. There is an Aboriginal myth that uses the Southern Cross to tell the time. Paying attention to which way its tail is facing, they ask someone to, “wake me up when the Cross turns over.”

Becoming the Asking

I have found that how I discover what I know is to hold the person or the question or the issue or the tangle in my heart, in my body, and pause in stillness, to notice what comes to my awareness.  

Here's the key, for me: I feel I am becoming the person or the animal or the tree or the idea, in my Deep Imagination. And then, I hold the intention to notice what I know.

Incarnational Spirituality & Knowledge

Incarnational Spirituality (IS) accepts all methods of assembling truth as valuable contributions to a larger understanding. This is not because IS would like to be nice to all the other systems and non-confrontational. It is because this system of thought requires it. IS is interested in knitting together wholes not deconstructing self or world.

America and the Election

With President Biden’s halting performance in the Presidential debate with former President Trump, followed less than a week later by the Supreme Court decision to grant complete immunity to a President for crimes committed while executing “core Constitutional functions,” the Presidential race has taken on even greater drama and urgency.

Celebrating the Fires of Creativity Together: A Gaian Festival of Wholeness

Solstice celebrations invoke the element of Fire so naturally. In June, in the Northern Hemisphere, we honor the Sun Fire at its highest and greatest expression of Light at Summer Solstice. We build bonfires outside and bask in the warmth and levity of long hot summer days, blossoms and fruit, the abundance of life. In the Southern Hemisphere we honor the Sun Fire within, burning at the heart of the close and holy darkness of Winter Solstice time.

Why Do Humans Exist?

The Earth is unfolding its inherent sacredness, becoming a planet of Light. This is not happening suddenly nor will it happen overnight. It is a process long anticipated, and now we are in the beginning stages. To you it may seem as if the world is plunging into darkness, but to us, it is becoming more radiant.
