Dancing the Downloads

The Truth is we are ONE

I was told the other day that it seemed as though Delphic Wave had, since the solstice in June, 'vanished in the mist' like Avalon. It has, a bit, it feels to me. All that is this offering is being re-configured into Light. No differentiation between container and contained. A time to again liquefy completely into the designs of the Great Mother; to be reborn from her flowing waters into yet another formless form. More formless than the last, perhaps more formed than the next. It is not for us to ‘know’ these things, only to rest within Her, at this great turning of so very many cycles.

And so, Uluru (Ayers Rock) has appeared in my field twice in the past week. Once, mentioned by my friend Leslie Temple-Thurston http://www.corelight.org , and again by my friend Heike, only yesterday. These occurrences are never random and prompted a note to mention that when information comes, however seemingly random or ‘out of context’, pay attention! These moments contain downloads that are unprecedented in our experience! The 'third time' always holds the information, the first appearances, the clues. I am anxiously awaiting the 'third' appearance of our fire dragon, Earth Mother root chakra, in all her 'stone person' glory!

As in the photo above, Uluru opens her arms to the light from the heavens, the Divine Mother opens Her arms to hold us in Her infinite supply. The old rules and the energy feeding them have gone. Did you notice? Are you observing how what we see as our outer world behaves as though they are still in place? What are you noticing? It is ‘up’ for attention, for its gifts of Grace.

As the tides churn you and again and again sweep you off your feet, ride along with them to the new shores awaiting us all. Allow the venting of all old sorrows, pains, griefs and grievances. We have no time for them. Forgive them all. Remember that these seeming waves of ‘past’ energies are not reality. They are the old cycle leaving us, any way it can.

Allow your deeper self to feel the excitement of new life forming. It IS a new cycle, a new way of BEING and the birthing waters have arrived.

Everything is changing! Take this opportunity to observe what you are holding onto that ‘must’ remain the same. Good luck with that! ROFL

Remember, ‘what the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls a butterfly’ ~ Illusions, Richard Bach

May Every Blessing Find you!
And may you RECEIVE each one with reverence and sacred joy!

Happy Portal Surfing!

We are now fully in the Solstice - Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse(s) - Grand Cross(es) and 6th Night portal sequence. Gaia is re-birthing Herself in the NOW. From the Temples into the arms of the Mother, in reverence we are moved, all anyhow, ready or not. And for some, we have felt so very ready, for so very long... and yet...

This past cycle has been quite the ride, has it not? In its death-rebirth sequence, we are feeling the birth of the new as the old energies thrash through their death throes. We are, all of us, releasing and rebirthing. And, as any birthing Mother will tell you, (once she is able) she has no clue how any of it is happening nor what the end result will be. She is only aware of the blessing and the miracle that is transpiring through her. So it is for Gaia. So it is for us all.

This past weekend, in a sacred releasing breathwork session I had a vision of the temple at Angkor Wat in Cambodia, of the sangha of monks in bright orange, all looking like dolls, all incarnations - each and very one - of spiritual values, spiritual past lives, vows of continuance, of perseverance and of obedience. All memories of 'spirituality' in the cycle that is dancing its death song. Lives of accruing merit, of holding the remembering, of vows coming to completion. As these images worked their way out of my body with the breath, I wondered. Visions come first, understanding later (if at all).

This was followed by more visions, all in meditation, of many forms, many lives. It brought back the wondering of how my sisters have come together here, now, in this place, for a completion of some kind. Prior to coming to this place, I had a dream. I was in this area, connecting heart-to-heart, remembering to remembering, essence to essence with other mystics. Since I have been here, this has happened, much to my wonderment and gratitude.

Sunday I received a hug from Ammachi. Around my left wrist was wrapped my 'original' mala - the first mala from my first mystery school teacher, purchased with that week's food money, at the Bodhi Tree bookstore in L.A. It has been with me for every desert trip and darshan with Rama, every spiritual or mystical training, every shamanic journey, every spiritual or mystical adventure for 27 years (a '9' of course!). A small storehouse of mystical power and light.

As I was released from the hug, the mala broke. And, as I sat in Presence, I felt the beads that slid free, breaking and releasing through my physical body as well. Completion. Release. Finally. And the Mother's words breaking through my heart. "It is time". It is still too fresh and new and unfathomable for words. Finally. Not of any 'doing' but of Grace.

Gratitude:
To Datta, for the sacred sounds that have graced my way and in whose presence over this New Year (2010) I received the complete remembering of the essence of my vibration; from whose alignment I received the name Nalini. (http://www.sivababa.org).

To Rama, without whose boot camp I may not have remembered nor would I have persevered. (http://fredericklenzfoundation.org/)

To Leslie Temple-Thurston, who taught me how to transform dualistic structures through processing, and whose patience with my 'doing' has been unfaltering. (http://www.corelight.org)

To Pamela, whose Presence of Innocence in the tradition of Ramana, has helped me to complete a cycle. ( http://www.pamelasatsang.com )

To Malathy, whose great love broke the 'heart' mala and allowed me to begin to physically truly heal.

and, most recently, to Amritananda Mayi, (http://www.amma.org ) whose Grace and Presence allowed the Divine to show me in no uncertain terms that in the Divine Mother's Presence there is only 'free'.

May we all be flowed and guided through this time, this immense portal of Grace, with ease and safety and exactly what we need. May we remember with reverence that it is always so.

Reclaiming Ecstasy

~ Aligning in Reverence~

In a sacred releasing session this past week, I spent an hour in the physical experience of what I know as ecstatic union with Light. There are many images, knowings, downloads, re-configurations and shifts that happen in such an experience. It began with the thrumming of Shakti in my body that allows me to release completely into the arms of the Mother. As the light intensifies, layers of consciousness part and Truth is revealed in whatever form one can accept in that moment.

The experience is of ‘home’. Home vibration, home resonance. Home. I last experienced this vibration with this intensity on Kauai, over the new year of 2010, in the physical presence of Dr. Baskaran Pillai (also known as Dattatriya Siva Baba). It brought tears of recognition, of welcome and of deep, deep remembrance. A yearning of the heart that releases as it keens its longing into forever.

This time, the vibration was Sourced from within Divine Flow Herself ~ as it is always, has always been, and yet ~ as deities and memories, past lives and metaphoric mystical symbols flowed through me, as I became the Light in many of Her forms ~ the re-membering took form. Many forms, actually, yet one in particular had a teaching long awaited.

The image of a black panther (black jaguar perhaps) blue-black in color, slightly larger than my physical body, appeared at the left of my inner sight. Ears laid back, relaxed, yet keenly alert to spring, She roared as lions roar, as the solar feminine roars her ferocity, in honor of the Divine. As I listened, receiving, another image formed to the ‘front, right’ of my inner vision. A snow-white cub, with riveting stellar blue eyes. White lion? “Snow leopard,” I heard in response. The blue-black of the panther’s etheric body mirrored in the eyes of this magnificent embodiment of innocence and authenticity. “Power in its infancy”. Innocent and pure.


I felt tears of reverence and awe making their silent passage down my cheeks and onto the pillow. Held within the Darshan. Transmission from the Divine to the Divine, and I, the witness only. As I watched, the cub took more and more physical form, soft fur on the ears becoming visible, spots changing to pure whiteness and to spots again... the mountains of Tibet forming behind it. I wanted to hold it to my heart, while having the feeling of doing so, of the mature Goddess-Panther holding the image of this little one within her heartspace with a level of cherishing barely recalled.

Much later, after this experience, knowing that whatever was taught or embodying would make itself known in Her own time, I took to the books. Panther – (according to Ted Andrews) “Reclaming”. “Reclaim... what has been lost or broken will be replaced by something more beneficial. A symbol of mastery over dimensions in which others cannot survive.” Black Panther – per Jamie Sams – “Embracing the Unknown”. Yes. The unknown. Ecstasy without its dualistic counterpart.

The dualistic form of ecstasy carries within it the underbelly of ‘agony’, or trauma and pain. When ‘ecstasy’ carries the seeds or memories of agony, it is not truly ecstatic consciousness. Nor is the new-age delirium popularly known as ‘blissed-out’. I have been watching this particular phenomenon for a lifetime. The addictive nature of altered states is obvious, and quite daunting. How is ‘altered’ by substance addiction, addition to the shakti, or the earth’s power places true ecstasy? Is it? What is ecstatic union with nature? With the divine? What is the truth of ecstatic embodiment, as some of us hold it in reverence, long-forgotten, yet somehow always remembered? What is truth? What is the heart’s answer?

I asked again, what the transcendent embodiment of non-dual ecstasy truly is, how that can be experienced in form. Can it? And can it be maintained? Can that space be truly embraced and walked with practical feet? I have seen it done, experienced this Presence, I walk around in it most of the time, and yet, well, I get called ‘woo-woo’ a lot. Or dysfunctional. Or whatever. This experience was part of the answer, part of the truth. Fierce authenticity, completely in alignment with authentic innocence. I remain a bit gobsmacked at the wonder of it. My mind does not understand these images in a way that feels complete, nor perhaps will it ever. I am quite content with that.

In the releasing of both the ‘pretended’ ecstasy, the ‘high’, and the deeply internalized agony of embodiment, as it was held in my heart, true ecstasy was remembered within me. Ferocity and innocence, solar and lunar light, ‘power’ as the force that it truly and simply ‘IS’. The reclamation of ecstasy; ecstatic union with the Divine, in this physical form. Grounded ‘walkable’ euphoria with no hint of the constriction we know as duality.

The images of our inner vision have so much to teach us! My tears remain – as does my gratitude.

I was first taught processes for transcending dualistic structures by Leslie Temple-Thurston of Corelight (@ corelight.org). The sacred releasing experience (of which the above is only a small fragment) was facilitated by Taj Ali, a practitioner of sacred release work, here in Santa Fe.

May Ecstasy reclaim you ~ Happy Full Moon!! (27 May )

Gaia’s Awakening

~ Alignment with what Matters~

What really matters? Gaia Herself is shifting alignment and so must we. As She births Herself into a new alignment, new energy configuration, new and higher vibratory reality, we too must allow ourselves to be passed through the creative alchemy of being newly designed, created anew.

A year or so ago, I was hiking with some friends. We were approaching sacred ground – a configuration that has been ‘sacred’ to the indigenous for as long as there have been indigenous, and probably long before. I stopped, as I know to do, in reverence for our Mother Earth, and Her secret, sacred spaces. I sat, in full view of this ‘sweet spot’ and opened myself to Her wisdom. When did we, as a species, become too full of ourselves to receive darshan from a ‘rock’? From the green world? From the inner dimensions of this sphere we audaciously call our planet? Grins and much head shaking on my part. ;)

As I sat in reverence, I was shown, faster than the mind can follow, events of such seismic magnitude I could only sit in wonder. The up-thrusting of magma and stone, the deep nurturing dark of the stillness that followed, the outpouring of nurturing of all life in this valley, the very creation of that valley, and ~ later, much, much later ~ the scurrying flurry of ant-like creatures carving and scraping and scooping and building. Roads, structures, carving and blasting and moving and shaking. Moving and shaking? From within the living stone came a deep silent rumble... laughter. Gentle and benign, and THOROUGHLY amused.

I was shown the Paleolithic, the upsurgence of all that we call life in the green worlds, the creature beings, the harmony. Ever the harmony, until the carving and shaping and blasting began. Redirecting the flows of water, of ice, of energy and of grace. As I sat and opened, it was similar to viewing a film in fast forward... VERY fast. What we call the past, merging into the present, and on into a future where there are only the stars... our brother and sister beings in cosmic alignment, this galaxy, home to ‘our’ solar system...Mother Gaia, home to our bodies, in vibratory resonance with the Divine currents of creation. The ‘home tone’, the resonance of life, of creation Herself.

As I re-focused in that moment, sitting cross-legged on this out-cropping, the gravel making dents in my bum, I was held within the intimate embrace, the vast vibrational awareness of ‘sacred space’. I felt the crystalline growth beneath me, the flow of sand and stone, of wind and water, of the mind stilling itself in reverence for the sacredness of the ALL. Within the ALL ~ the harmony. The ‘home tones’ of creation.

And Gaia is awakening. This is Her enlightenment, this Shift in consciousness. And the awakening that flows with it is the vibration of reverence.

As Gaia’s awareness moves through Her ascension portals, may we remember the ‘home tones’, the vibrations that birth every atom of being. May we reverence the Divine that is our true home.

Happy MayDay!

~ Alignment with the Shift ~

“Mayday, mayday!” we hear over the radio frequencies when a ship (air or sea) is in jeopardy. In the States, in an emergency we dial ‘911’. Interesting number that. A radical shift in perception. This is the Shift. It is here. We are here. A radical shift in perception. How will you make your shift? Your ‘assault on the cliffs of forever’? (quote, Rama’s).

Well, certainly not an assault at this time. This is a passage of the heart. How will you survive this? Who is the ‘you’ and what does surviving mean, when the world, as our minds have learned to navigate it, is shifting beneath our feet, over our heads, and in our bodies?

If you are sensitive, and if you are reading this it is highly likely, you are feeling the resonance within of the earth changes, the energetic changes, the effects of gamma rays, not on ‘man in the moon marigolds’ but within your bodies!

It is time to listen deeply. It is time to be completely true to ourselves, not the little self, the false self, the masks and archetypal dances we do for God and others, but to the ‘still small voice’ within that is not so still anymore! (yay!) It is time to truly look at our deepest patterns (they are NOT the darkest ones, btw) and allow them to be lifted from us, allow the shifting sands of dark and light to integrate and to allow Spirit to, once and forever, do Her work through us. How we approach the divine (God/Goddess/Ali/Allah/AllThatIS) is so much less important than that we do so at this time! It is in the hands of the Divine, this Shifting... and yet, and yet... are we not also Divine?

What will your response be to the call this time? We must allow. It is time, it is here, it is NOW.

Some advice from other voices... other Oracles... please enjoy!

“This is when we dance around the fire within. This is when we come to know what is left within us when everything that is not true burns away. And once we know, we can begin to be true to ourselves as never before. This, more than anything else, is what this time is about. We must discover what does not endure the burning fire of our own being, and let those things go. Let them burn away with the new heat that is rising now.”~ Jennifer Posada

“May 01 is celebrated as May Day or Beltane ...and it is also the 1684 May First Ascension Day of Saint Germain who brought us the alchemical gift of the Violet Flame. This is a great time to remember the power of invoking the Violet Flame for transmuting all energies that no longer serve our divine destiny. The Violet Flame is a gift to humanity to assist us during these transformative times. Saint Germain has said, "The use of the violet consuming flame is more valuable to you and to all mankind than all the wealth, all the gold and all the jewels of this planet." (The Voice of the I AM January 1941 p.20)” from Cayelin Castell http://www.celestialtimings.com

“Feeling so ready to shift, wanting to experience the shift in one quantum leap instead of one hundred baby steps. "Just jump" your Soul commands, you freeze like a novice skydiver, "just jump into the shift, into the change, into the divine plan that is waiting like a soft cushion".” Gillian MacBeth-Louthan http://www.thequantumawakening.com/

Resting in Stillness

~ Surfing the Cosmic Tsunamis ~

So here we go! As Gaia dances her re-formative tango, we are now dancing to HER tune! Cause for great celebration!

My observation is an interesting juxtaposition of the celebratory and the Stillness. I keep seeing the mental image of Padma Sambhava (the Tibetan Bodhisattva) floating in an orb of light, bouncing off the tsunamis and the changes, grinning from ear to ear. Or perhaps that is just my cosmically skewed sense of humor at play.

The lessons keep showing up in blatantly informative ways, don't they? As a western collective, how are we obsessed with comfort - however grossly or more subtly we may define this, and polarized in any aversion to pain? What is pain? What is comfort? How do our subtle identities play with these concepts? And how do we let them go along with the old world that is leaving us?

I had an experience early this week of wanting to attend satsang with a blessedly awake friend, Pamela Wilson~ http://www.pamelasatsang.com/, I woke up that morning with monster headaches, body discomfort and dizziness. Not having had this kind of day for a few months, I was curious and also a little miffed. Had to be today, yes? These are 'human' emotions pushed up through the 'human' body. Nothing to be upset by, but to be present to learn from. As usual, I began to look for resistance, for any sloughing off of older energies or states of mind, and felt, from the Stillness, "rest". "Just rest, Beloved". I gave the body herbs, essential oils and a good soak, to see if that would ease things. The symptoms increased. Ok, resting.

I propped up on pillows, much as I had after my brain 'upgrade' in June, feeling a return, a releasing of the deep tenderness that had permeated my neck, shoulders, and the back of my head at that time. I rested and went deeply inward.

I was shown the pain and the wish for comfort. "Where is the physical (body / life) still in aversion to pain and obsessing with comfort? Where do these definitions need adjusting?" I have done quite a bit of inquiry on this in the past, so just let things show up this time, rather than letting my mind supply 'files' or feedback. I did not need to wait. The adjustments were happening as I watched, and that was all that was needed. I watched, observed, and kept affirming my heart's wish to be in Stillness and yes, to be with my spiritual sisters and to attend this gathering. Much was moving, and after some time, I felt "Get up now, and go". I was still dizzy and my head throbbing. I got up and into the car.

I could hear mental and a bit of physical feedback saying, "This is NOT a good idea!" And yet, the inner urging, "Go". I drove carefully, as usual, and felt more shifting. By the time I had visited with my friends, and attended the satsang, the physical ravages had disappeared completely.

I had had the experience of 'full circle'. Giggles abound. As I sat in that Space, I had the experience of juxtaposed realities. Sitting in satsang with Pamela. Sitting in 'class' with Marguerite at the age of less-than-two. Circle to circle. Family to family. Old 'family' identity falling away. A homecoming, granted by Stillness. Completion. Beginning. Falling through the Space that is the true gift of Grace. Noticing love ~ in whatever form She presents Herself ~ as the underlying essence and the flow of Space.

The message, for this time, was to rest in the Stillness and allow the changes to occur, as they happen. Let them be. Let your body and life BE. And in the observing, love. What else has there ever been to do or to see?

With unending love,
~from the newly-cozy raft between the worlds~

Happy Equinox! Enjoy the New Beginnings!

~ Breathlessly New Beginning ~

It is time to paint with the brushes of limitlessness.

"As your Soul soars to luxuriate in higher fifth dimensional atmospheres of unconditional love, gratitude, peace and calm your earth vessel has to jettison what would hold you back. Take care of it." ~ Rev. Angela Peregoff

As is often the case, I have to agree with Reverend Angie... it is time, as we step through the Equinox portal, whether it be the Vernal portal (in the northern hemisphere) of new beginning or the Autumnal portal (in the southern) of balancing, it is time to let go ~ yes, really, once and for all!

I hear from so many, including aspects of myself, "I've DONE that, no more, I've let go of everything I can think of! (or LOST everything) ". So it's time to abandon the mind's agenda and surrender unconditionally. The mind will never let go of its own volition ~ well, not without a little coercion.

What does that mean? The mind cannot understand. Our minds are not prepared to. They were simply not trained to not 'be' who we have programmed them to be. No blame, no finger pointing, no more beating ourselves up. Just do it already! We are all being called to a new beginning, a fresh start, and a foundational level of beginners' mind. Our minds, all of us, need re-training. Like a young child, learning the new world, from a place of freshly un-jaded enthusiasm. You can do it! Find your inner Peter Pan and fly! ;)

That said, let's talk about new beginnings and sacred space. I am currently residing in an incredibly sacred space. Lucky me? Yes! I am truly blessed! And this too was one of the 'waking dreams' that I had to let go of everything that had been, to encounter. I could not have created t his ~ it had to be a gift from my Source and my Sisters... what a blessed event! How amazing and miraculous and... SELF-created.

For years I dreamed unconsciously, although my teachers tried to convince me otherwise... ;)

When we 'daydream', or 'love the scenery in that film' or read a book describing the idyllic and heave that heavy sigh of yearning, we are dreaming forward, creating with thought, feeling and mind. We are un-consciously creating, dreaming forward idly and with no focus. It is time to choose consciously. New beginning. Fresh start. Conscious dreaming.

What sacred spaces have you self-denied in order to serve... your family? The greater good? All noble aspirations, but NOT Self-love. Selfishness, arrogance and ego are also not Self-loving, yet we hang onto those 'doing' aspects of the little self the hardest, while beating them up in the process. Sound familiar? Familial?

Yes, this blog is largely tongue-in-cheek, as befits such a powerful alignment as this Equinox. It is high, it is holy, it is sublime, and it is knocking the socks off the old paradigm.
Can you gimme halleluiah????? (sorry, an 'old-earth' expression from somewhere deep in the mind)

Allow your sacredness to find you. In this high and holy portal, allow yourself to BE.

May Every Blessing Find You ~ Happy Equinox!
