Far Side of the Moon

“Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.”
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts

Daily, a new door appears…like a domino effect….a new landscape enters the field of vision, and the doorway appears….

We are practicing the experience of the unknowing and by the days gloaming..we lay the day to rest….carry nothing into our slumber…

The dark night of the soul is that which is on display…

Pioneers of this ascension age….recognize the frequencies

Prayer keeps one steady…and elevates Conscious Christed Codes…..

This is for God to work out…

We are serving best…by remaining in our Highest signature…strengthening our Light

No attachment to judgements or fear..

Nothing will ever be the same…..

But we did not want “the same”

Did we not pray for the new way to be born?

It too…is a horrible relief..this transformation….. that we are accepting..as the World…turns…and we face the far side of the moon…..

“Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.”

Future is Quicker than the Eye

Behind all seen things lies something vaster; everything is but a path, a portal or a window opening on something other than itself.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

When it happens… we are at that perfect pitch of Spirit….

When the deep knowing way and the deep wisdom way is connected…..we know we are walking through the portal of a mystery we have already created…to enter…

It happens as we come into the eventide of our past..of a life we now have seen so deeply…..it has disappeared off our pages of time….with its’ treasures …..all spent

The future we spoke into becoming…yesterday……in a blink of an eye…..transports into a change we have no definition of….

This is the threshold between another day…..and another world…

In that threshold..the world let go ….when we dared not to….

The future..is closer than the reflection reveals…

A portal is a transitionary device of sight or sound that functions as a sort of third gravitating body between the this and the that, pulling us toward itself, allowing us to bridge into the unknown from the known.

Roy H. Williams

Season of Pause…Rebooting

Mirando al mundo con sentimientos: 12 hermosos colibríes

Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

*where the spirit IS..not where the spirit was*

We go to the ends of our experiences…to the end of ourselves…on the path of our returning….

to become conscious of this attitude of Light within us…

and we have made a spark….indeed…..

As we entered this Reset era….we are choosing to do things we never did before….we change our patterns of receiving new downloads of Spirit…we find our thoughts have changed according to the new thing we are entering into….God is preparing us to enter into a new frequency…as we ascend….toward the frequency of the Soul..…as we come from this season of pause….

We walked this path…unknowing of that which we would encounter…..

We talked this path to life….and thought it a grand design…to capture this Light and know it….

It is where the path ignites the soul…..

that we devote ourselves to this journey…

while not knowing the way our fate line would run….

You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket ….to let the soul out. Martha Graham

“I am large..I contain multitudes”…Walt Whitman

There are many elevations one must traverse…..while being born…

Hold the Love, hold the Peace ….and the hope of both….

Seeing things..we don’t want to see….

Loneliness…..is wearing us out…

while the notes of our soul…fall slowly…

In the name of good intentions

Using disease to contain us…

Programming fear while promoting promises…..

Awakened to the light…. means we see clearly…in the dark…

“I found out something I never knew:

I found out that my world was not the real world.”

– Robert F. Kennedy, 1968

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

Easter Season ….The Rising of Eternal Light

Dying to the aspects of our nature that are obstacles….

to the awakening of our supernatural potential…..

This transformational season..

Is a time of the true internal spiritual journey…

The external ritual… is aimed at supporting and increasing the personal transformation….

which is generated by reliving the Easter story…

Easter ..is an opportunity to trace the path of transformation itself….

Easter leads us into the dark night of the soul ..the sense of the human despair of the feeling of the abandonment of God…….

The darkness becomes purification..fasting… from selfishness…..in order to behold greater Light

to experience the essence of the human experience…in the true divine reality….

Easter is a mystical..spiritual experience...which opens the mind and heart beyond the realm of the senses…..

The very acceptance of these unacceptable times…..is part of the answer…

New depths of courage manifests…a strength that has gone beyond the self…an emptying of self …… and one discovers the deep running river of the soul….

The individual death of self-focused attitudes…sets us upon the foundation of our own resurrected life……

This is an opportunity to enter a spiritual freedom…prioritize our choices….overcome intolerance…

Easter..is the Gateway….

“It is not easy to convey a sense of wonder, let alone resurrection wonder, to another. It’s the very nature of wonder to catch us off guard, to circumvent expectations and assumptions. Wonder can’t be packaged, and it can’t be worked up. It requires some sense of being there and some sense of engagement.”
― Eugene H. Peterson

Bending Dark with the Light

Se algum de vocês tem falta de sabedoria, peça-a a Deus, que a todos dá livremente, de boa vontade e lhe será concedida. Peça-a porém, com fé, sem duvidar, pois aquele que duvida é semelhante à onda do mar,que o vento leva de um lado pro outro. Quem é assim,"Não pense que receberá coisa alguma do Senhor", por ser, indeciso e instável em tudo que faz. Tiago 1:5-7

“Remember Jesus of Nazareth, staggering on broken feet out of the tomb toward the Resurrection, bearing on his body the proud insignia of the defeat which is victory, the magnificent defeat of the human soul at the hands of God.”
― Frederick Buechner, The Magnificent Defeat

Looking at the pictures of once bustling roadways, now so empty….the feeling becomes too real…this is where the illusion of life once lived…

The isolation from human touch..human hugs…even a handshake…makes us a bit colder in the skin…makes us suspicious of what lurks behind each mask…

Want to know if you are standing near a COVID Being? They got an app for that….

Ever wonder how our entire life ended up on a cell phone….

Choices carry vibrations….

I put the Bible on my phone….yes….there is an app for God too….

In this stillness of the WORLD…..soul is strengthened…in faith..

Through the rubble and silent chaos of endings… I discover more depth of this process of renewal…

“Perhaps [the critics are right and] the drama is played out now and Jesus is safely dead and buried. Perhaps. It is ironical and entertaining to consider that at least once in the world’s history those words might have been said with complete conviction, and that was on the eve of the Resurrection.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers

“For truly we are all angels temporarily hiding as humans.”
― Brian Weiss

As Humans….nothing comes naturally….

we must learn to do everything….which includes learning to be Human

Breathe and learn what is truly within the skin of you….

learn about that which resides beyond the bones of you…

Light has many spectrums.. and Angels have agendas too….

all while Being dressed as a Human…

you hold endless depths below the surface of a few facts and pieces of past decisions.

Heaven runs through you….

“Namaste means the spirit in me sees the spirit in you. And do you see yet the great truth in this simple phrase? When your eyes and brain alone cannot see the spirit in another, the spirit in you sees it always.”
― Sean Patrick Brennan, The Angel’s Guide to Taking Human Form

Where Life Once Fit

“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime…”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

In the stillness…. one chooses silence wisely…and uses ones inner senses….to navigate thought and the speed of light…

Time runs into dimensions and the shift happens in multiple moments…..from the corner of one’s eye….

Revealing that which we are indeed “married to”…love, fear, compassion, breath…tears…transformation…dignity…integrity….sorrow…

All the empty places within ourselves..reveal where life used to fit…..

then

We took one step…into 1 day later

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

The site that deprives you of productivity one minute at a time. Replacing productivity with entertainment since 2010.

“We shine like those fires and those stars; we sigh like those waves; we suffer like those great ships, which are worn out in ploughing the waves, in obeying the wind which urges them towards an end, as the breath of God blows us towards a port. Everything likes to live, Raoul; and everything is beautiful in living things.”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Man in the Iron Mask

Not all choices in the Light…are easy…..

Yet when one lets go of steering the energy, aka: anger, fear, expectation…

the weight of choice is lifted and guidance takes over, with less bruising involved

If life throws you a bad vibration..do not let that interrupt the song…

Do not let that define your story…

If life were easy..it wouldn’t be hard….

We are all on an odyssey through the extremes….

To see what I could see,

The whole world was fallin’,

Right down in front of me.” Allman Brothers..Dreams I’ll Never See

“If you were a bird, and lived on high,
You’d lean on the wind when the wind came by,
You’d say to the wind when it took you away:
“That’s where I wanted to go today!”

One must master residing in the unknown… while growing ones Light…

This is the realm of wisdom and tolerance…
