Deeply Diving

I have found a blessing
as my deepest wound appeared...
I was in the exact vibration of the original pain!
Oh it hurt! oh, oh searing heart slicing hurt...
that vibration...
THE vibration.
What a blessing to be able to see it and feel it
and recognize it for what it was!

I observed how it had affected my whole life,
the choices I had made because if it.
The beliefs I held as a result of it,
the fears it began.

What a blessing as I reveled in it,
again not by choice but again thrust upon me
what an opportunity...
this timely time as Observer without Victim...

releasing it as promised in the Divine Plan.

Now is the time for excavation of buried treasure!
Dive deep, reach for pearls, little soul deaths.
Kick up the sandy bottom, lose yourself in the pain
long enough to get your fingers around it.
Rise to the surface with it in tow.
Bring it into the Light.

See it for what it is...
See yourself as you are
Luminous Lover
It has no power now!

perceptions on generosity

Soon I will be traveling to South Dakota to a reservation to serve the Lakota community. I was told the children were hungry so I put the word out to friends, family and clients for donations. I want to thank each and every one of you who gave small and large to the cause.
Thank you so very much. It will be used as wisely as possible to spread as far as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This may sound like a judgment, I am sorry, I do not mean it as such; it is really an observation and query into the heart of it all.

I have found it a very interesting study on generosity. I have to say I was quite surprised. It is just my perception and I do not have all the facts. I most certainly do not know what the thoughts of a person are that leads them to choose am amount to give!

It appears to me those who seems to have it to give...by that I mean they have high paying jobs and big houses in clean, safe suburbs, all the new electronics and full pantries...must think they do not, because they have given the smallest amounts. Amounts much smaller than they spend on a meal at a restaurant, or a tank of gas in their shiny SUVs. While one friend who is living in an efficiency apt with her 14 yr old grandson and barely making ends meet has given a huge sum of money; what I would guess to be half her rent and utilities combined! How can she do that? She does it without hesitation and without regret.

I do not understand it, I am willing to be schooled.
Is it that the poor know what it means to have nothing? They understand hunger and children who have only a few toys?
Is my perception incorrect about those who seem to have? Do they really not have and are up to their eyeballs in debt instead?
Maybe if their donation was recorded in a way they could claim it on taxes it would be larger?

I imagine there are many studies that show the how and why of it all.I will have to research it, maybe then I will understand.

Which is the advice I would give to those who did not give a monetary donation but instead gave this statement, "the government gives those people everything they need."

three eclipse

Lots of changes are going on. Can you feel the energy shifts? We are in the midst of a very strong three-eclipse period. On July 7th, we had a lunar eclipse, which always occurs during a full moon. It is when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon and the full Moon temporarily appears dark. The full moon brings expansive energy, so keep your eyes and ears open to take advantage of opportunities and support while avoiding the dangers. It is a good time to reassess your goals and life plan, as it was in Capricorn, ruler of business, infrastructures and ancestors.

On July 21-22, we experienced a total eclipse of the Sun (solar eclipse). This one was primarily only visible in India, Nepal, Bangladesh and China and lasted for 6 minutes and 30 seconds when most only last a couple of minutes. Many people in these countries celebrated the "dark dawn" as they have through the centuries with ancient rites as solar eclipses have often foreshadowed (pun intended) major life-changing events. This eclipse is in Cancer, so you are reminded to focus on family and home. Be aware of your emotions!

The last eclipse in this 3-eclipse period will occur on August 5. It will be another lunar eclipse (they always come in pairs) during a full moon. This time it is in Aquarius, ruler of the "i's" - intellect, idealism, independence and invention.

As you can see, the alignment of the planets have a major impact on events in our lives. They advise of opportunistic moments and times when you need to retract, go within and rethink. During this strong eclipse period, just take notice of what's going on around you.

I hope that you are having a great summer!

Hafiz

Spill the oil lamp,
set this dry boring place of fire!
If you have ever made wanton love with God
then you have ignited that Brilliant Light Inside
that every person needs.
So spill the oil...
So spill the oil.

Do your Homework!

So many of my clients and friends have been going through the wars, it has been a rough ride for many people right now. You're not the only one! Hold on to your hats, make sure your knickers are untwisted and, keep your hair on, as they say in England!

Your spiritual path is no longer just night school! It's boot camp, 24/7. It owns you! Best to muster all the "peaceful warrior" energy you have and face into the wind. Just keep plodding. Stay focused. It will pass, and your landscape will be changed, but don't lose your cool. Be generous, loving, and firm, even when those around you--and especially your family are being their less than ideal selves. I've been watching families backing into a prickly hedge. That's the best way I can put it, both as individuals and as a collective energetic unit. Remember those horror movies--don't go into the cellar!
Well, don't back into the prickly hedge! Therein lays only the old mire you never liked anyway. Leave the past family issues.
Our homework is to forgive and forget.

What I've learned is there is a price to not doing your homework
Do it as if your life/marriage/career/whatever important issue we've been working on depends upon it. Your spiritual balance does depend on you doing your homework. You struck a bargain with the universe you paid the cost of the energetic exchange and what?; you are going to welch on the deal?? You believe in the process enough so you better believe enough to do your homework and keep yourself in balance with the universe.

We are experiencing tremendous shedding and transformation. Fun is showing up too--pay attention to the good stuff. There is really GOOD LOVE stuff happening! Watch for it!
