Suffering comes from wanting things to be different from what they are and from our struggling to try to change them.This understanding can allow us to naturally feel compassion for others.This compassion is not based on pity, mercy or charity. It comes because we know through our own experience, that we are all  doing the same thing…struggling with our experience because we want things to be different from what they are. Allow this compassion to break open your heart…see and know the pain of the world. Face the tragedy of the human condition and know it does not have to be this way.Allow this compassion to not be a feeling but an awareness of your open heart. This open heart awareness will allow states of freedom, clarity and peace to be expressed in life.

A distinction between mind and mind itself.’Mind’ refers to how we ordinarily experience life, filtered and distorted by reactive patterns. ‘Mind itself’ refers to a knowing, an openness, present in every moment of experience…an open knowing free from distortions and projections. This mind it self is no thing. There is an experience of vast openness and transparent awareness, an experience so vivid and intense that meditation practitioners are often moved to say, “There is nothing there.” This sense of nothing there pervades everything we experience, even as we see and hear the world around us, even as thoughts and feelings arise. Space is just there, whether there are objects or not. In this way it is like silence or stillness. Silence is present whether there is sound or not. Stillness is present whether there is movement or not. The same holds for this awareness: it is there whether thoughts, feelings or sensations are there or not. Like space, stillness or silence, it is there. Yet there is no thing there….Through out your day or night practice taking moments to simply acknowledge and see this kind of Mind for yourself. Hear the silence, Feel the space and Experience the stillness…..  all around you. Its as simple as placing your attention on one of these points of awareness….Silence, Stillness, Space….

         Your Dark Goddess  is present in the unseen realms of your psyche. She emerges when it’s time to cut through delusion and fear. She knows the value of her sexual energy and uses it to awaken unconscious to conscious insight. Allowing for true love that is fierce and direct. This energy penetrates through self deception, lies and projections. She says what everyone feels but is afraid to say. Courage to take risk because she knows that there is nothing to lose… An Ego- Death…the ultimate surrender..It leaves you feeling raw, excited and energized.  No room for excuses, ambivalence or flip flopping. Your dark goddess Knows from her sacred vagina to her open heart. This energy emerges through the body into the third eye to pierce through false pictures we believe about ourselves or others. This is the ultimate purifying scorching energy that burns away any fears, doubts, self loathing tendencies that prevent us from loving ourselves just as we are. She sees beyond space and time. She is the ultimate liberator. She is free from the relative plane and observes the limitless potential in all around her. She is a shape-shifter becoming what she chooses as each situation is presented to her. She is flexible, agile and stable all in one. She IS Presence. She knows boundless sky and knows when to end relationships, beliefs, attitudes and fixed views. She sees souls and is not fooled by personas. She loves everyone she encounters all the same……She is You.

At our core, each unique, individual vibrates sparks of Love, by doing something that is joyful for us, it actually means we are in alignment with our unique signature frequency. This is why it is joyful, enjoyable and fun…. we are in alignment with Love as it is being uniquely expressed through us in the way that is only applicable for us as an individual.

A lack of joy means we are not in alignment with our unique, true selves. Ever heard the phrase, “going with the flow?”  We are either in the bandwidth of our signature  frequency (being in the flow) or we are not. Feeling love, contentment, joy, peace means we are in our personal “flow”.

A hint: if there is mind chatter, repetitive thoughts over past or future situations, ruminating over other people, the actions of others, work, anything at all… we are outside of our unique “flow”.

Much like tuning the dial on an older radio, the more static (thoughts & mind chatter) the further away we are from  our unique signature vibration and thus the further away we are from aligning with joy, excitement and peace.

Start small. Start with baby steps. Practice by asking in each moment, “out of the choices I have right now, what is the one thing that “lights up” the most for me?” Now obviously, we would each choose going to the beach in Maui, making out with your favorite movie star…. all of those fun things that pop into our heads but typically may not manifest in the  moment. Instead, choose from what is within our capacity to act in that moment.For instance: listening to a favorite song, snuggling with a pet or relaxing in nature…

Joy supports us in letting go of the lower vibrations, old habits and attachments to the past that are no longer applicable to the existence of living in the higher levels of our consciousness. Joy is the tractor beam to finding and living all we were meant to be. Joy is what leads us to be in service to ALL and as a part of the all, we participate in receiving service as well. Joy is our birthright. Joy brings magic. Joy opens our hearts to living in Love.

As you transition, stepping away from old concepts, old attitudes, old ideas and fears… You may be free to embrace your beauty,  your  light,  your deep permission for the light to live as you. To embrace the moment to moment experience of  communion that Love might be expressed as your experience and that you might truly live with an open heart.

Right now, keep focusing on your heart. Learn to see the light, the light that comes blazing forth through you. Seek that light before you take any step, and you will know just how to move. You will see the path before you, clearly expressed. You will be the celebration of this Love, that is the whole experience of life in all its glory, illuminated by the light in your open heart.

What you meet as the world, as other human beings, as those things that make up your world, you will feel deeply with your heart. And you will know how perfectly you experience the union, you with every life that you encounter, a discovery of your beauty, your vastness, and your service, and your ability to see the light that comes through you.

 The resonance of Love as it moves is expressed as light. Once a being knows this, the vision is clear, the whole of “ I Am” is revealed before you and within you.

Unconditional love is the most powerful transmuting force in the universe. Remembering how to utilize the power of unconditional love will help you to remain in the higher states of your consciousness that  you may be enjoying. Live from your heart. Consider your logic when appropriate and let your heart lead the way. Your mind thinks, believes but your heart Knows. Trust this knowing.

Perception is the key to overriding the limiting programs of human consciousness.  Expanded perception comes from letting go of all that you previously believed yourself to be and embracing the knowing that there exists nothing outside of you. Literally nothing. When you can perceive yourself as being an intricate part of the Whole-ness that exists within you, and that everything you see around you is merely a projection of consciousness into the Hologram of Life, a huge shift will occur within your energy field.

You are powerful and you hold within you the power to change your world through unconditionally loving every aspect of yourself. It is through your unconditional love that you create change within yourself and everything around you.

 One last thought.  You are indeed an intricate part of the patterns of Perfection that make up the Tapestry of Life, and your contribution is priceless. You are brave and courageous beyond your knowing …….

Celebrating the darkness is not about celebrating evil. Celebrating the darkness is about celebrating the depths of who we are.  Honoring that we have parts of us that the light is yet to touch.

Celebrating darkness is about celebrating the seeds of potential that live within us all. When your soul came to this earth, it came equipped with everything it needed in order to achieve what it needed to achieve.

The seeds are buried within you, and only by acknowledging them, nourishing them and giving them time to grow in the darkness, will you be able to bring them into the light.

On the Winter Solstice… December 21st, it will be time for you to travel through the soil of your own soul and see what needs to be tended to. This is your time to go within, silence your mind and travel deep to the place where your soul meets your body.

In the Southern Hemisphere you will not be experiencing the dark night of the soul, instead you will be experiencing the Summer Solstice. This is a time to reflect on your light and to get out into the world to shine!

Oh, how without color I am, how without a sign!

When will you see me the way that I am?

How could my spirit become static when I reside in fluidity as I do?

I’ve become an ocean immersed in itself

Oh, what a wonder this boundless ocean that I am.

Don’t seek me in this world or that world…

For both worlds are lost in the world that I am.

Like nothingness…..I am free from profit and loss

I am that rare one who is without profit and without loss.

I said: You are that!

She replied: Silence…there is no language, no words for what I am

I said: if there are no words, then I will speak without language without a tongue.

 

 

Let’s talk today about allowing yourself to thrive wherever you are in the here and now. I say to you right now, not to limit your future, not to limit your vision in any way shape or form, but to understand that what you have in the moment, is all you have in the moment, and everything you have is in the moment.

The human condition is one of always striving and reaching out for more, and with that also comes a human condition part that becomes in a sense, eternally dissatisfied. Because there’s always something else out there, there’s always something else to strive for.

This message isn’t one addressing the spiritual nature of that constant striving, this message is about, looking at your life from the point of view of “What if it doesn’t get any better than where you’re at right now?”

Now that’s not said to create a limitation, but what if you say where you’re at right now, is the place that you are being asked to connect with your heart and thrive from.

If you have desires about a certain amount of income, about moving to a certain place, having a particular job, having the special relationship, having your body be a particular way, whatever it might be that isn’t part of your current reality.

What if you decided that you are going to connect with your happiness, connect with your heart, connect with your joy, connect with feeling on top of the world, connect with the rightness of who you are and feeling completely okay with yourself, right here and now, because that is all you have right now.

Also not create it as a limitation. There are many on the planet right now who are holding themselves back because they’re waiting until…

I will be happy and loving myself when that right person comes along.

I will be able to have the job I want if my body changes.

If I do these five more things in my business development plan, then I will be successful.

When I have X number of employees then I will be successful.

What it’s doing is creating limitation on your ability, and your consciousness and your awareness to feel that you’ve arrived. What if the point you’re at right now is the point where “You Have Arrived!”

And this is what it is, not from the point of view of, “Oh this is terrible, it’s not what I want, I’m dissatisfied!” But can you shift your perspective to say, “This is great!!”

And be able to connect with all the reasons it is great, without the conditional energy?
