The Lord's Prayer

"All Cosmic birthers of all radiance and vibration, soften the ground of our being and
carve out within us a space where your presence can abide.

Fill us with your creativity so that we can be empowered to bear the fruit of your mission.
Let each of our actions bear fruit in accordance to our desire, and with a wisdom to produce
and share what each being needs to grow and flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of fate that bind us as we release others from the entanglement
of our past confusion. Do not let us be seduced by that which will divert us from our purpose
but illuminate our opportunity of the present moment. For you are the ground and the
fruitful vision, the birth, the power and the fulfillment,
as all is gathered and made whole once again.

And so it is!”

This is perhaps a more accurate translation of an ancient prayer. The recent version
known today is said to have been translated from Aramaic to Greek, to Latin to English.
Whatever it is, yes please.

Our energy affects all aspects of our lives.  And so our value
comes from the quality of energy that we emanate in every moment.

Our energy, our vibration, is our true currency.

Ego death is when we shed the cloaks 
of the culturally-created self
so that the Authentic Self is revealed. 
It should be called 'ego resurrection'.

"We are all filled with a longing for the wild.  There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning.  We were taught to feel shame for such a desire.  We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings.  But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights.  No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed."

"Another dream-determinant that deserves mention is telepathy.  The authenticity of this phenomenon can no longer be disputed today.  It is, of course, very simple to deny its existence without examining the evidence, but that is an unscientific procedure which is unworthy of notice.  I have found by experience that telepathy does in fact influence dreams, as has been asserted since ancient times.  Certain people are particularly sensitive in this respect....The phenomenon undoubtedly exists, but the theory of it does not seem to me to be so simple."

Passion of the Wild Red Mother
-from the RUMI Oracle Card deck, by Alana Fairchild

"Don't ask the conscious ones about the wine.
Behold the glowing effects of it in the eyes of the drunks."
-Rumi

It takes a great spirit,
one with much patience of studied rebellion,
to be ready to cast off the shackles of society
from a place of loving defiance rather than anger.

Passion is the bridge that leads [us] from a smaller truth:
that suffering is necessary in order to heal;
towards a larger and more luscious experience-
of life as a Divine embrace.

This is possible when [we] give up on judgement
of what is good and what is bad-
on what is apparently spiritual and what is not-
and when [we] just realize....
everything in life is leading to Love.

"Life shrinks or expands
in proportion to one's courage."
-Anaïs Nin

To me, courage is the exalted state of fear. It is the blessing
we receive when we face fear, with gratitude, and ask it for its gift.

"Love takes no heed of our divisions,
but sweeps us-
tumbling as we are-
into an endless consciousness
of everything.

Lovers do not live out 
of the detached Here & Now
but they enter into
the enormous possessions of the heart.

God becomes real to them.
They are not harmed by death.
For being full of life, they are full of death."

A person went for a swim in the sea.  After some time they began to struggle and fear for their life. Just then a boat came by and offered to help.  The swimmer refused the boat, saying, "God will save me."

The boat reluctantly left though the swimmer continued to struggle.  Soon a plane came by and dropped a line.  Again the swimmer refused help, saying, "God will save me."  

As the plane flew away, the swimmer began to lose consciousness.  But a dolphin appeared and began to carry the swimmer to shore.  

"No, dolphin," whispered the swimmer. "God will save me." The dolphin released them and the swimmer soon drowned.

On the Other Side the swimmer felt God and said, "What the what God?!  I trusted you would save me, but you didn't."

God replied, “Well, I tried... I sent a boat, a plane and a dolphin."

-Variation to 'The Parable of a Drowning Man'

Many thanks to the boats, planes and dolphins who bless my life.
