Fiber Optic Clearing

Last night I had a dream where I was moving with Matrix-like speed down the hall at my work. I felt in every cell in my body the fullness of my healthy "no" to the patterns of sacrifice and YES to my life beyond the limits of what I have ever known. I literally disintegrated like fairy dust and reconstituted in the dream--right in front of my Department Chair in front of the elevator. It felt so literal and I am still integrating it physically. It felt like was moving in a fiber optic way--back for lifetimes and fully to the present clearning this pattern in a deep, deep way. It would have made a good movie scene.

The Emergent Zone -- Choose Life!

Everything is gestation and bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of a feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one’s own intelligence, and await with deep humility & patience the birth-hour of a new clarity: that alone is living the artist’s life.
~ Rilke ~

We are living in a heightened, concentrated state of emergence on the planet, which I refer to as The Emergence Zone.  The conditions of the collective dark night — the world crisis, the global emergency — are activating a deeper emergence and resurgence of our individual and collective Soul — the consciousness of unconditional love and Oneness.  It is indeed darkest before the dawn and yet the dark grounds of gestation are what give rise to new life, an essential and integral aspect to the bringing forth and rising up.  Without the dark damp earth pressing in on the seed, it will stay dormant.  And so it is with our own personal and collective Soul.  It is in the darkness of the emergency in which we now find ourselves that the great emergence will occur.  The lines between death and birth are blurring, one spilling into and initiating the other. Unplanned and uncontrolled, this bears the mark of the Divine — chaos giving rise to order, darkness revealing a truer and more radiant Light.  Our choice is ultimately a choice-less choice.  Surrendering to and powerfully co-creating with the emergence.  Resistance is ultimately futile and will only serve to increase suffering. 

Yet what is it we are surrendering to?  To the Divine blueprint, the emerging design for a world that works for all.   As we surrender to the cacophony of energies we begin to find ourselves in a state of grace, playing in the symphony of Life in unexpected and exquisite harmony.

This is the rarefied air we are breathing.  This is the sacred space we are occupying.  This is the holy ground that we find ourselves standing on.  This is the universal clarion call to wholeness which presents us with the opportunity to bridge the gap, to make the shift, to be potent leaders in the emerging paradigm.  As emergent leaders we attend to the simultaneous dissolution and evolution of consciousness and condition.  Being fully present to the “emergency” allows us to retrieve the activating seed of the emergence contained within it.  The antidote is in the poison.  The contraction occurs in parallel to the expansion. Embracing these seeming contradictions is what allows us to be fully present and receptive to the conception and ensuing gestation of the next evolution of consciousness and birthing of Divine Love in the real.

This is the Law of Emergence…

The Law of Emergence states that all things are in a state of becoming, gestating and bringing forth in each moment, everything moving and spiraling into creation.  The Law of Emergence operates within the Universal Hologram and is present in the micro and macro experience — one a mirror image of the other, active in our personal lives as well as on the cultural, global and cosmic planes. Mesiter Eckhart referred to this constant birthing of brilliance as God giving birth to God in and through all of Creation. “We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity… But if it takes not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it should take place in me.” He goes on to say: “What does God do all day long? He gives birth. From the beginning of eternity God lies on a maternity bed giving birth to the All. God is creating this whole universe, full and entire, in this present moment.”

This is the razor’s edge we find ourselves teetering on.  No longer can we ignore the emergency or the emergence.  For those that have ears, let them hear.  For those that are awake, don’t go back to sleep.  We are here to be emergent leaders, sacred activists and  co-creators in the new paradigm, the new consciousness. We are here to bring heaven to earth through our own transformation, transfiguration and embodied expression. Yes, indeed the world is pregnant with God.

In the words of Yeshua in the Gospel of Thomas, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”

What will we choose to respond?  How will we navigate these times?

In and from the essence of the Torah…we shall choose Life! Choose Life! Amen!

I need more grace than I thought...

We can't be creative if we refuse to be confused. ~ Meg Wheatley

I love this quote...especially as I dive into the creative chaos...the mud before the blossoming lotus...the confusion that reveals the clarity...writing from perfection squeezes the soul from my being...I am willing to dive into unknowing, to confusion, to the chaos in service to revealing the essential...the raw and revealed idea of God writing itself on the blank pages of my heartmindbodysoul.

May I have the courage to do something real...something useful...to be essential...of the essence.

In appreciation of the mystery...
In appreciation of my sisters on the journey.

May the aegis of grace carry us...

Let Tenderness Pour

Go for a walk, if it is not too dark.
Get some fresh air, try to smile.
Say something kind
To a safe-looking stranger, if one happens by.

Always exercise your heart's knowing.
You might as well attempt something real
Along this path:

Take your spouse or lover into your arms
The way you did when you first met.
Let tenderness pour from your eyes
The way the Sun gazes warmly on the earth.

Play a game with some children.
Extend yourself to a friend.
Sing a few ribald songs to your pets and plants -
Why not let them get drunk and wild!

Let's toast
Every rung we've climbed on Evolution's ladder.
Whisper, "I love you! I love you!"
To the whole mad world.

Let's stop reading about God -
We will never understand Him.

Jump to your feet, wave your fists,
Threaten and warn the whole Universe

That your heart can no longer live
Without real love!

~ Hafiz

Ablaze with Divine Love

“Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you,
and when they shall separate you from their company,
and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil,
for the Son of man’s sake.”

Tubwaykhon ma dahasneyn l’khon bneynasha wa meperasheyn l’khon
wa mehasedeyn l’khon wa mephaqeyn shemkhon ayk bisha hlaph bar d’nasha.

You may not think so, but it can be blessedly ripe,
just the right thing to discover your true purpose,
when people see you in a bad light,
coloring your true colors with their own
inner hue and cry;
when people single you out for abuse,
because of the wounds they have felt inside;
when you are conspired against
and things get said behind your back;
when your good name gets tossed about,
shut out, and carried here and there
as if it were a waste of time to mention you.
All this happens because people see in you someone
who is trying to fulfill the divine image,
who lives according to their real purpose.
Yet in the distorted, fun-house mirror
of a heart they currently carry within,
they see you backwards,
which is the way they see themselves.

~ The Beatitudes in Luke, Neil Douglas-Klotz Translation ~

Mediocrity always attacks Spiritual Excellence…proceed anyways, love anyways, endure in all ways, always.  We let it be so. Amen!

Birthing Spirit

Mary is in labor within my heart.

Bethlehem's star illuminates this pain of birthing through the dark night... an undeniable sign that all is well.

Soon a divine child will arrive into the world of a new day.

Coming Home

The Three Sisters at Dusk

Coming Home

Coming home to essence

Meeting the essential

The raw wildness of being

Unencumbered from projections, expectations

Mine and Yours

Letting go of the masks that suffocate

Coming home

Returning

Touching Into and Becoming
One with the One
The Ocean's Drop I AM

I AM

I AM
I AM

I am being breathing, moving

Stillness

I AM.
