Where are we going?

Posted on October 8, 2019 by new desert

This is a question, dear Ones, and this is not a question.

We are going anyway.

The “where” is not the primordial part of the question.

It feels more like the ‘energy of the week,’ if you will.

 

 

 

And for me, the energy has been manifesting as ‘restlessness.’

Not restlessness in the form of impatience, but rather in the sense of not having a taste for much, and yet being able to function just fine.

This is a surface feeling that certainly denotes much—and yes, much in terms of where we are heading.

Perhaps a birth is forthcoming and a cork will soon pop up.

Who knows?

And who knows where we will be as a collective by this Thursday, 10-10-19?

Knowing the Zoom link address for this week is: 10 – 700 – 01 – 700

Seeing and spreading the good

Posted on September 30, 2019 by new desert

The excerpt below from today’s Arcturian message made me reflect on the good—the good that we are, the good that we breathe and the good that we share, just by being—and sometimes, I shall add, by doing!

And, to the same extent that we cannot change what we cannot see, we cannot spread the good unless we see and acknowledge our own good. The good within.

It seems simple and easy to teach; yet so many of us either look in the wrong direction (outside of us) or await the blessing of another being of some sort, be she or he a guru or a master.

It’s all within, dear Ones, the gold that makes us who we are.

The gold that makes us shine.

Let’s share another moment of goodness this Thursday.

Communing is such a precious activity.

“We are all Source Energy Beings. All of us are, and while Source is everything, Source is fundamentally love. And therefore, so are all of us. When a person is not aware of this, and when they are unable to access it and feel it, that person can do all sorts of things to try to have some sense of who they are as an individual and to have that be experienced by others as powerful, lovable, wise, talented, and a whole host of other desired traits.”

“Most humans are looking for that external validation, rather than looking to give it to someone else, someone who certainly needs to be seen as good, lovable and gifted in some way. If you make that your intention for each interaction that you have with another person, then you are going to be a part of a movement that will change the world. Some people need to be reminded of who they really are and who better to remind them than you who have this knowing inside of yourselves—the knowing of who you are as Source Energy Beings.”

The balancing of the seasons

Posted on September 23, 2019 by new desert

Happy spring, happy autumn, dear Ones!

Somehow, the theme of ‘balance’ and ‘balancing’ showed up this morning as I thought gratefully about the new and fresh season we are entering.

 

The balancing of the hemispheres, northern and southern, on planet earth and also the balancing and complementarity of the two hemispheres in our brains.

The balancing of the amount of daylight we are receiving at this time of the year.

The sign of the Zodiac we are now in, the Libra, with its balancing scales.

Even a balancing hourglass came to my life as a symbol not long ago; except it was inverted, with both larger parts touching at the base.

It is indeed a time of great balancing, of great pulsing, so that we can move forward with total equanimity and responsibility. Looking at life the way it is and appreciating it for what it is.

Nature and its delicate sense of balance shall help us in this inner process.

Don’t you think and experience so?

Note: I will post this astrology newsletter in the Discussion section of the invite.

Here is a first paragraph to whet your appetite!

 

THE SUN ENTERS LIBRA very early on Monday (12:50 a.m. PDT), marking the equinox and a change of seasons. This is the halfway point through the astrological year, and is a powerful time for ceremony–especially with the intention of creating more harmony, balance, and beauty in your life.

A stream of coalescing pointers

Posted on September 9, 2019 by new desert

Dear Ones,

I am not into predictions or mediumship; yet when something comes my way, with a certain degree of insistence, I tend to listen and pay attention.

This is what happened yesterday.

As I was resting in bed, a date hovered above me. It was a strange sensation. Something had been dropped, if you will.

I didn’t know what October 14th stood for and, to my surprise, I realized it is the day when Columbus’s arrival into the New World is celebrated this year. I was truly flabbergasted because I clearly remember Columbus Day 2018, which took place on October 8th.

Does that mean Columbus Day, in the United States that is, is a flexible day? Not quite. It simply falls on the second Monday in October.

Interestingly, the state of Virginia also celebrates on the same day what it calls “Yorktown Victory Day,” commemorating the surrender of British general Cornwallis at Yorktown in October of 1781 and, therefore, the victory of the French and American troops—a surrender that signified the end of the Revolutionary War.

Is that it?

No, of course.

As I was writing to a young woman in Colombia that we are sponsoring through a children’s organization, I noticed that her birthday falls on … October 14th! But of course.

To add to this mysterious message, I also realized this morning that Thanksgiving Day in Canada falls on October 14th.

And to (almost) break the camel’s back, the piece of news I read this morning again mentioned the adjournment of the British parliament for five long weeks. And guess when this suspension is going to end: October 14th.

That’s a lot of pointers for a single day in our lives, dear Ones, especially when those pointers coalesce in less than 24 hours.

What do you think?

Will October 14th be the day when we will see and experience the ‘penetrating light,’ as this beautiful picture illustrates?

A picture that erupted into my awareness within that same 24-hour period.

Evolving toward loving relations

Posted on September 4, 2019 by new desert

Dear Ones,

This morning, I came across an excerpt of The Reappearance of the Christ, a book channeled and written by Alice Bailey right after the second world war. In it, she keeps emphasizing the concept of ‘right relations,’ which I would translate in contemporary terms by ‘loving relations.’

That being said, what caught my attention this morning are a few sentences describing –some 70 years before its onset—the nature of the Aquarian age, the age we started entering on December 21, 2012.

“The great spiritual achievement and evolutionary event of that age [of Aquarius] will be the communion and human relationships established among all peoples, enabling people everywhere to sit down together in the Presence of the Christ and share the bread and wine (symbols of nourishment) … This sharing, beginning on the physical plane, will prove equally true of all human relations and this will be the great gift of the Aquarian Age to humanity.”

This transformation will certainly not be immediate; yet what matters is the ‘evolving direction’ that humanity is walking toward.

A direction that knows no artificial boundaries, such as those created by race, religion, creeds, sexual orientation, skin color and so on. In a 21st century world decimated by war and strife, these words may sound like utopia.

Yet many of us, gentle entrepreneurs of the new age, know what to expect once this Aquarian era fully blooms.

And its blooming may be closer than many of us think.

If it were not, why would we be communing?

See you on Thursday, dear Ones, at the usual time and place.

Let’s not quarantine ourselves!

Posted on June 9, 2019 by new desert

Dear Ones,

What does this intriguing title could possibly mean?

To those of us walking on and off the road …

While reading the French news yesterday, I learned of a sad turn of events: the baby oak tree that the French presidential couple had offered to the US presidential couple, and that they had planted together on April 23, 2018, died.

It died and therefore no longer is.

Not because of improper care; but because of human-enforced rules and regulations.

Those that do not permit entry of agricultural products on US soil unless they are quarantined for a certain period of time. And our little oak tree didn’t survive this period of being cut off from a nourishing environment.

I’m sure you understand the metaphor by now.

What could “cutting ourselves from a nourishing environment” (or quarantining ourselves) mean in/on our spiritual paths?

We will ponder the question and gather on Thursday to honor the memory of this little tree—a casualty of the ‘human need to control its environment.’

Here is the French website where you can read the news:

The eye of a new storm?

Posted on June 3, 2019 by new desert

Dear Ones,

Yesterday, Sunday, I came across the expression ‘the eye of the storm’ twice, in two different countries, two different languages. No relation whatsoever between the two locations or the people using those words.

How interesting!

Yet one person mentioned, in relation to the storm, the need to ground ourselves at center point. Or zero point, if you will—OUR center point.

This prompted me to look into the meaning of such a phenomenon.

“The eye of the storm is the only peaceful part of the hurricane. Getting through the eye wall is the dangerous part, as is exiting the eye, again through the eye wall. The center of low pressure in the storm is the eye. The lower the central pressure, the fiercer the storm, and the higher the winds – nevertheless, the eye is calm and peaceful.

Outside the eye, it’s hell on wheels.”

Why is it called the eye of the storm?

“Skies are often clear above the eye and winds are relatively light. It is actually the calmest section of any hurricane. The eye is so calm because the now strong surface winds that converge towards the center never reach it.”

Is it safe in the eye of the storm?

“The eye is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of strong tropical cyclones. The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area, typically 30–65 kms (20–40 miles) in diameter. It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather and highest winds occur.”

https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-eye-of-a-storm-so-dangerous

And somehow the word ‘new’ came as icing on the cake—as if it were to make spiritual sense.

Is something brewing, dear Ones?

Our own responsibility

Posted on May 27, 2019 by new desert

Dear Ones,

Now that we’ve considered the road that may lie ahead of us, let’s talk about our personal responsibility. Perhaps a responsibility to walk that road, together, or perhaps to travel on our own, off the beaten path, off the road.

There are a multitude of opportunities ahead of us and no two are similar—it is primarily a question of what is, or who is, calling us.

A journey of personal exploration if you will.

This morning, I came across a passage from Pathway to Bliss, a book by mythologist Joseph Campbell, that I quoted in response to a blog post more than five years ago. It may not be coming back by pure coincidence and it feels like the perfect quote to support and illustrate this week’s theme.

I will let you consider how this applies to each and everyone of us, regardless of where we stand … at the beginning of the road.

The chapter is Personal Myth.

“There are something like 18 billion cells in the brain alone. There are no two brains alike; there are no two hands alike; there are no two human beings alike. You can take your instructions and your guidance from others but you must find your own path, just like one of Arthur’s knights seeking the Grail in the forest.

It is this quality of the Occidental spirit that strikes other cultures as so silly and romantic. What is it we are questing for? It is the fulfillment of that which is potential in each of us. Questing for is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment our gift to the world, which is yourself.

There’s nothing you can do that is more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence; in this way, you will find, live and become a realization of your own personal myth.”

The road ahead of us

Posted on May 24, 2019 by new desert

What is, and where is the road ahead of us, dear Ones?

It feels like this road is not clearly delineated.

And, honestly, why would it be?

What matters is that it does exist, somewhere in the not so distant future.

Interestingly, the feeling of the week is flatness.

Not flatness of the landscape, or the road, but flatness in terms of the absence or scarcity of signs, insights and signals.

And that is strange, after so much surface activity in the past few weeks.

Come to think of the road and travel, I came across a beautiful story yesterday.

That of Aegidus, or Giles, a Greek sage and healer, living in southern France in the early part of the 8th century. He selected two wooden doors during his visit to the papal city—”two doors engraved with the likeness of Saint Peter.” Upon his request, the pope happily donated these doors, so that they could adorn the facade of Aegidus’ abbey in the south of France. Yet he didn’t know how to bring them back and therefore had them dropped into the river that flows through Rome, the Tiber. And, somehow, they found their way Home.

Just like we are finding our way Home, dear Ones…

…despite any clear sight of the road ahead.

 

Here is the full story, for your perusing.

Then on a certain day, when he was earnestly in prayer in St Peter’s monastery, he saw therein two doors that were made of cypress wood and were engraved with the apostle’s likeness. These he asked for also from the pope for his monastery’s adornment and for a pledge of true love and the pope assented to this happily. Then the man of God did not know how he would bring them home to his monastery but trusted their journey to God’s direction, and commanded them to be brought to the Tiber and thrown in there, and it was so done. And when the Romans saw this, it seemed to them a great wonder that the precious treasures which God’s man had wanted such be so carelessly lost. But the pope understood and knew all about this, that Giles did it through the will of the lord.

Also after this, Giles earnestly took his leave of the pope because he had to go home to his monastery since he had understood all that pleasing to his lord. They commended their lives and their souls to almighty God and gave each other a kiss of peace and so parted with true love.

Then God’s darling Giles went out of Rome, home to his monastery, and when he came to the town of… he rested there for three days because he was very weary after such a great journey. And he healed there a cripple who was all crooked after many years. He left that town with a happy mind and as soon as he came home to his monastery, then men made known to

him that there had arrived at the shore two doors wonderfully and beautifully engraved, that were without a ship and without any man’s means of getting them there. When the blessed Giles heard this, he became very happy and gave great thanks to his lord that he had sent there such precious treasures unharmed, though they were often driven into the sea and often passed over many sand beds and suffered many difficulties because of the many havens, and yet unharmed they arrived through God’s mercy.

God’s man then went to the riverside where the holy things had come up and he commanded that they were brought into the monastery with great honor, and he commanded them to be raised up in there for adornment and for the need of the monastery that men would know for ever after by these tokens about the monastery’s freedoms which he had received from the pope.

A freedom of Liberation

Posted on May 13, 2019 by new desert

This is how I felt, dear Ones, after waking up from a comfy nap this evening, Saturday.

Liberated.

And yet no dream I can remember, and no palpable astral travel.

How can we possibly feel liberated after sleep?

And what sleep are we talking about here?

Perhaps a strange, inoculating sleep that has lasted for millennia….

I will let you explore, dear Ones, I will let you ‘research’ the feeling, so to speak.

The feeling of waking up, the feeling of liberation…

The times we are entering now have never been waded and yet, they seem to feel so familiar.

How can this be?

And where are we, dear Ones?

What is this new human adventure about?

If not … liberation itself.

PS: I just now realize I wrote a “freedom” of Liberation in the title when I was thinking of a “feeling” of Liberation. How uncanny!

And so it is, a freedom of Liberation!
