The little life saving station

Once there sat a small life saving station by the sea shore of a small fishing village. The rough currents and the rocks that surrounded the opening of the port damaged or wrecked numerous ships just off the coast. The stranded and scared travelers would jump into the cold dark water and swim for their lives as their damaged ship slowly sunk beneath the raging waters of the unforgiving sea. Because of all the lives that were lost to the sea, one of the villagers decided to build a life… Continue

The Splash Felt Around The World - An Allegorical Fish Story

Trip to Ascertain Bend

Jackie and his brother, Stephen, had grown up fishing in the various creeks, ponds, and lakes that populates the Bibb and Perry county area. While growing up in Marion, they fished at Shady Grove Lake in Bibb County with their father and grandfather. Now grown, Jackie and Stephen often traveled over to Lakeland Farms. They spent hours fishing on the numerous lakes that characterize the large dairy farm.

Jackie Brandon decided that he had… Continue

Self Nurturance

SELF-NURTURANCE

With the new moon in cancer yesterday brought in was the energy of nurturance....Self tending, Self caring, Self support, Self love and so on.

In such a space one feels safe and secure, trusting all is being cared for and feeling the universal support of all of life.

What better way to be in these times of personality transformation currently evidencing itself everywhere on the planet. In the solitude of Self's own sacred space there one finds… Continue

Weekly Tidbit: Perspective

While horsing around in Oregon mountains last week, I read Whole Heart, Whole Horse by Mark Rashid and came upon an intriguing question: Which is stronger: the Grand Canyon that contains the Colorado River or the Colorado River that carved the Grand Canyon? The Colorado River is a classic symbol of power and strength, and the force of its flow created a passageway through fossilized rock. And the Grand Canyon, known for its size and unmatched scenic vistas, is a symbol of majestic and… Continue

Just Listening

JUST LISTENING

As One ensouls Self to the deepest depths, comes with it is more conscious awareness of detachment and there becomes even more so, a deeper experience of Being "IN the world and not OF the world". OneSelf, just listening.

More so now is the expression of the Silent Watcher, the Observer Being more fully expressed from the deep inner stillness, watching, Being OneSelf and, just listening.

In this place of existence, consciousness is, expansion… Continue

Self Reliance

SELF-RELIANCE

I have for some weeks felt the need to become totally with mySelf once again to experience who IAM at a much deeper level with as few outside influences as I can maintain, for I know that full Self Reliance is now, for me, the way to be to my move into full Self-Mastery.

A time of being with mySelf Alone, as All One, as All There Is, seeking an ever deeper connection with who IAM as sovereign creator and author of my life.

The fullest merging of… Continue

Self - The Perfect Mirror

SELF - THE PERFECT MIRROR

Since the beginning of July I have felt ever so tired once again and sleeping hours on end, up for two or three then back in bed once again. Feeling strange is not the word for it, but then in this transition any feeling that is not the old "norm" is the new valid "norm". It just takes a bit of plugging into.

My recent "going it alone" once again after months being in group/collective mode has been a wise move as I have experienced MySelf like… Continue

Daily Quote By Lynn Fishman

Within every loss there is an opening to something new. This may not be readily apparent to the physical eyes, but is known and seen by the soul.
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.
Alexander Graham Bell

Releasing the Mother Principle

RELEASING THE MOTHER PRINCIPLE

In process of undefining ourSelves, releasing old energies of all aspects of identity is one of the most challenging and perhaps one of the most important to consider is the mother principle.

All of 3D life is birthed through this, the mother principle. We have lived in the parent/child construct for eons and yet in this construct we must realise too that every father has a mother! Too we grace the title of mother on the earth, we have… Continue

Trust - The Essence of Individual Self Discovery!

TRUST - THE ESSENCE OF INDIVIDUAL SELF-DISCOVERY!

We journey in Life and find our way through trial and error till we come to a point of conscious awareness when we realise that we are the creators of our experience and whether we like it of not we see that the experience we are currently having is of our own making.

With the current shift in consciousness being experienced and looking at the New Life we are each creating, the Unknown is becoming The Known One as Self… Continue

Woodstock Festival near Chicago

Attended by over 10,000 peace loving folks of all ages, the weekend long show near Woodstock Illinois was a huge success! For someone who had missed the origonal it gave us the chance to feel we had come close to the true experience meant to be conveyed by a peace rally/gathering. The bands were very nice representations of many of the acts there at Woodstock NY in 1969. We want our boys home from war overseas the same as during Vietnam.

Although we may understand a little better why… Continue
