PH8 of the Moon

Having always walked in a minimum of 2 worlds at once, I understand the need for balance. So it is fitting that now, while one world is being born from another, I find myself a bit dizzy.
Having been born and given birth, I recognize the place we are in and I've got to tell ya, it's a good place to be. The new earth, Gaia's child... our child... is emerging through the channel. Self aware.

“I promise you, the emergence into the next world will give you back your breath”... so spoke the heartmind of the emerging child.

Choosing a battle plan...

What may not be readily apparent is that my passion for defending Justice, in it's purest sense, is rooted within the cellular level of my entire being. I am a Warrior, committed to the idea that life is “just”. A commitment grown from a vow affirming Love as the only Power I will obey. For Love is the only energy that matters to me. It is from Love that everything I hold sacred flows.
I defend in service. Service to Love is my truth. Service to Justice is my self-accepted responsibility. The kiss of Love's breath on my brow, my reward, sustains me. The reflection of Love in the eyes of another reminds me, always, that Love is real. That is the current of energy we flow along

For the PH8 of the Moon

From what I gather on a broader scope, our slow ride has ended and we are moving into a quickening current. A current that will require faith in what we have never seen, but always known within every fiber of our being. With a willingness to keep open minds & hearts, we move along the cleansing balanced and aware.

When we choose to commit to the SELF within, we step fully into our own power. Once there, rooted in Love, we will grow & flourish. We will sustain our lives from the well of the infinite, Love's well. And we will see what we have always known.

For the PH8 of the Moon

Wax the surf boards and sharpen the ice skates for tomorrow's Full Moon. It's all about balance for much of this week. Respond without reaction. Remain in the process without attachment to an outcome. Embrace the moment, the NOW, filled with Love and let go of yesterday's fears. We are here! We are Now! We are Love! We are Infinite!

If the heavy energy tries to hold you down, back or under... remember how light you truly are! Affirm the Powerful Human Creed often.

The PH Creed
I am the most Powerful Human in the world!
I live in the universal flow!
My life is wealth!
My choice is priceless!
My love of self is power!
I am infinite!
I am love!
I am the most Powerful Human in the world!

Be Blissed!

Happy Thanksgiving

Firm and steadfast seem to be the best words to describe the method of navigating through the current energy. The symptoms are a bit annoying... feels like a cold, but not quite; headache, dizziness, sinus congestion and hunger. OMG the hunger! So I am being firm with myself, remaining steadfast in my choice of foods, knowing that as I nurture myself I am feeding so much more than my body. And my body.... we're going through another phase of the metamorphosis. I know something amazing is occurring on some deep, physical level The whole concept of having “light bodies” is something credible

Today, as we round the corner to Thanksgiving, people are speaking of gratitude on a daily basis; it is a growing trend to keep it alive beyond a single day.
Today, as the New Moon grows to first quarter, new energy is stirring within us; potentials are being envisioned rather than just dreamed of, we're putting our power, Love's power, to use.
Today, as the Sun begins the annual journey through Sagittarius, we have the opportunity to grow through expansion; turning dreams and wishes into realties.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Bird Watching

Allowing oneself to simply 'be' is powerful advice and I'm finding that teaching it is really helping me remember to live it. And though it is test of patience and commitment, reminding me of the uselessness of frustration and limitation, I seem to be slipping into the habit with grace. There is a growing gratitude informing my reality with a richness that makes the simplest things the most profound. The grace I feel washing through me as I watch the birds interact in my yard creates a peace that I desire to share so I send it out, a wish carried by tears of joy.

It's amazing what you find....

While going through old papers I came across a writing that I had thought of only a few days earlier. Nothing too odd in that except that the writing was from 8/16/1987 and the reason I had thought of it was that I had just finished reading a book titled Rose Healing by Grandmother Falling Leaves. She is a revered elder, a native Cree I believe, who I had the honor of connecting with in the Autumn of 1987. I'd always wondered where she had gotten to because I'd always wanted to thank her for the guidance she offered me back then. Well, as my mother used to tell me, "all things come to those who wait"... so this past August I was pleasantly surprised to find an advertisement for Falling Leaves in a Spiritualist directory. I had a chance to call and renew our acquaintance in October and that is how I came to have her Rose Healing book.

Reading it brought to mind the poem I had written about a rose blooming on the last day of the Harmonic Convergence. I had arrived in Arizona in July of that year and the rosebush called out to the Faery energy that lives in my blood. I set out to tend it, nurture it, encouraging it to thrive in this dry and arid place. My inner Fae was delighted to find a bud one day and even more elated when, in quiet hour before dawn on that last day of the Convergence, the rose had opened to release a fragrance that called to mind a deep peace, a peace remembered. Being a poet, I am commanded to record such moments.

So the sychronicistic play of my life again brings tears to my eyes as I re-read that old poem, understanding that what I felt then is what I see now. I can say no more, the emotions overwhelm me so I will just offer those words to you now.

Daybreak
by Skyfire (then, Moonrider)

As day dawns
a new Sun rises
and a desert rose blooms
in my heart
the song of brotherhood
is being sung

As day dawns
a new Sun rises
and the waning Moon watches
in my heart
the age of darkness
is passing on

We have struggled through our own adversity and we finally see the light. The light of day shines upon the path of the chosen, and the children of right action have made their choices known. The knowledge of change is a singular cell and as each child of Earth touches the cell, it grows into a beautiful dream. The dream of unity, so long in slumber, now awakens to our song. The light of day has dawned.
8/16/1987

Thursday thoughts

Paraphrasing here…. But Mark Twain wrote: “Grief, alone, can take of itself; but to get the full measure of joy, it must be shared.”
That statement speaks to the deepest part of my spirit. It is my reason for connecting to others. It is a selfish reason to be sure, for if I do not share the joy I feel within, I believe that I would explode with the sheer immensity of it. Its’ enormity is best described as a weight so expansive that I feel nothing of its’ limits as my spirit heart reaches out to enfold the body of Gaia, my beloved sister.

The song of the Red Winged Blackbird or the Northern Mockingbird is enough to lift my spirit to that infinite space of unconditional Joy that is the spirit of Love. They share their Joy with me, feeding me as I feed them. Symbiotic, in synchronicity with each other’s rhythms we anchor light in the space we share.
Let me be rooted, not grounded. This Faery is set to fly……

Past life influences

It seems I had bought the idea of ‘atonement’ as an inevitable state of being, a self-inflicted penance for a failure I had invented. The self-designed punishment led me to kneel in the shadow of others who could apparently sense my willingness to atone. While not exactly hiding my light under a bushel, I did manage to allow it to be dimmed by the darkness of others. These dark others were always ones who relied on my willingness to serve, often draining my reserves and poisoning the joy that I felt in being of service. Their envy, jealousy and self-hatred tainting the waters of my life; it plagued me over and over, causing me to repeat the pattern of self-abandonment for several lifetimes. But a self-actualized Powerful Human cannot live in a toxic environment and that lesson has finally been learned. The behavior could not be unlearned; it had to be understood so that I could begin to make better choices.
A Powerful Human does not have power bestowed from an external source; it is a force that glows from within. A Powerful Human acts from that illuminated center and practices forgiveness of self as a stepping-stone to success. A Powerful Human does not carry those who are too lazy to walk. A Powerful Human is a way-shower who will lend a hand but not one who will be drained by the callous disregard of those whose sense of entitlement obliterates their humanity. A Powerful Human does not fear standing in their own light shining with Love’s radiance. A Powerful Human owns their own power.

For the PH8 of the Moon

So how's this new energy feeling? I’m so jazzed! During this last Full Moon we seemed to have turned a corner, rounded a bend and, from what I can see, the headwaters look to be smooth, indicating a less tumultuous ride ahead. The choppy waters that carried us through Summer have given way to a more serene journey through the next phase of our transition. I see our individual crafts linked by glimmering beams of love-light and feel the lightness of being providing us with a well-deserved period of rest. We’ve arrived at a place we’ve never been before and we’re exploring new vistas with glad anticipation. The fears of others are behind us now. Those fleeting moments of contentment have more staying power and, as we breathe in more light, it is becoming easier to navigate the course. My ‘gut’ tells me that there are still challenges ahead… more for those still mired in 3-D… but we are being showered with glad-tidings from the ones who have been calling us home. So instead of “faking it until we make it” we can expect those miracles we’ve been dreaming of… we’ve arrived on the shores of our dreams.
Over the next several months we can look for expanded opportunities to drop out of nowhere. Our attitude of gratitude will bring us the tools necessary to craft the future we’ve all seen within our hearts. Now, more than ever, conscious breathing will be of great benefit. Use your essential oils to shift out of any unwanted mindsets and conditioning. Incorporate the Aura Cleansing Ritual and Salt Baths into your lifestyle. (If you need instructions for either of these or info on essential oils, shoot me an email and let me know what you need) Hone your bartering skills; what we can do for ourselves and each other will become the new medium of exchange. Take time to play during this respite from difficulty; we’ll need the refreshed energy to help those that follow our lead. Rest when you can; my mother taught me well when she instilled in me the idea that we should eat when we’re hungry and sleep when we’re tired. Honor the sensibility of your body and heed it’s wisdom.
So as the days grow shorter and cooler, breathe deeply of Nature’s gifts and let your lives mirror the rhythms of Her cycles.

Be Blissed for we are Love!

An oldie but a goodie...

Yule 2006

Skyfire

Fragmented and being played like fiddles we struggle against the
whirlpool of mediocrity that is trying to suck the life out of us.
Fearful leaders are puppets whose strings are manipulated by greed-
driven money changers. They stir the polluted waters of human
consciousness via a media focused on selling shares and spots. And
while most abhor the game, we still play. And sadly, many are still
unaware that we possess the power to change the rules. Tired and
angry, radiant and hopeful are the extremes to which we are pulled
indicating that balance is the only safe harbor against the
maelstrom.

Guarded optimism and calculated risks are the tools of a dualistic
reality and until we transcend that reality, it behooves us to make
the most of where we stand and take a stand so as not to be sucked in
to the cesspool of mediocrity being generated by those too fearful to
embrace a new dawn. The old paradigm and the old order are dying and
the adherents of the that ideology are feverishly working to prevent
it's demise. But change is the only constant and those of us who are
awake and aware know that, yet it is still a challenge to maintain
balance while we labor to birth a new way.

As the holidays approach there will be subtle shifts in the news.
Just as gas prices dropped prior to the election (and have
subsequently risen), the news stories will take on a more human-
interest tone as the holidays draw nearer. Good news makes for
better moods and better moods mean heftier spending. I imagine the
term "Black Friday" indicates a positive turn in revenue for the
retail world, but it's a color devoid of substance, an implied
absence, an emptiness that nags at our psyches as the appointed days
threaten to descend.

So, knowing this, why is it that we still participate? When we know
a new order is forming, why do we still find ourselves sucked in to
the energy created by fear and greed? Where are the holy days? Not
the fervent pomp of organized religion and consumerism, but the heart-
felt celebrations of the progression of the seasons and the warmth of
kindred spirits. As Autumn, the season of death, winds down and we
move closer to Winter, the season that heralds the rebirth of light,
it is my heart-felt wish that we each take a moment this year to
shift at least one part of our collective consciousness towards
embracing the joy we came here to experience. Let love and joy be
the energy that lifts both Gaia, the living Earth, and Her children
to a new dimension.
In Joy, Health & Well-Being, I wish you glad tidings.

We have sailed on choppy seas through uncharted waters and, undaunted by circumstance, we have kept our heart's promise.
We thought. We dared. We dreamed. We believed. We have owned the power that we are and we have arrived upon the shores of paradise. Notice the sparkles and twinkles in your eyes. Feel the lightness in your hearts. Understand that the calm we are beginning to allow ourselves to be enveloped in is here to stay. We done good!
As we draw nearer to the Full Moon of Oct 3, the Harvest Moon, gather and feast! We celebrate a home coming.

For the PH8 of the Moon

Fuck it! I’ve done depression. I’ve experienced futility and hopelessness. I’ve embraced and made friends with my own darkness. I own my shadow self. So it occurred to me this morning that all there is left for me to do is laugh at any adversity remaining in my world. To do otherwise is to deny the comic opera that I have scripted for myself… leaving only tragedy in its’ stead.
In what remains of this 3D reality that we are transforming, we find remnants of fear lurking around hoping to feed off what once sustained it. However, the tribes of light are rising and shining with such passion that fear stands hopeless and starving before Love’s essence. Fear shall be transformed to light or it shall cease to be. Duality’s time done!
People of spirit, people of honor, people of humility’s grace are holding Love’s space in a world crashing in on its’ self. We Powerful Human souls are holding such light and integrity within our cells that we are literally becoming the light of Love that we serve. In response, Love showers us with the graces of family, of healing, of peace in our hearts; and Love, if we allow it, will ease any burden we lay before it.
As the New Moon grows to Full, let us offer up any and all of our sorrows and burdens so that Love’s essence has fertile soil in which to fully root.
Be Blissed for we ARE Love!

There seems to be a buzz about the day, an energy intensified by the collective focus on 9/9/9 and what this date might bring to us. It’s very much like the holidays when everyone’s focus becomes concentrated and the energy of the time is amplified by that collective act. Blissfully, today the focus is spiritual rather than material so we stand a better chance of raising our collective frequency than sinking deeper in a denser energy.
That denser energy is what many of us are transforming with our vibrations of love and our visions of home. When you stop to think about it, there is nothing truly unique about today’s date other than what we, as co-creators, imbue it with. There is no more magic in today than there was yesterday or will be tomorrow. The real magic, the power, lives within our ability to harness and direct the energy present in every moment.
During my early training in ceremonial magic, my first lesson was that of the Chariot card in the Tarot. That Spring I learned how to harness the energies of body, mind, emotions and spirit so that the vehicle I inhabit was able to navigate the course of my life. I meditated, faithfully. I copied lessons in magic and astrology. I dedicated myself to the path of the great Goddess. Over time my practices changed, for the lessons changed and I moved with them. This has been our way for longer than man can reckon…. we flow with time, navigating space, always honoring the power of love.
As we surf this next phase, let us call out to all who have hearts to hear. Express your Powerful Human self in every moment of every day. Be YOU!!! Unabashedly you. No fear. No worry. No judgment. Authentically you! This is our call….. “We Are Powerful Humans!”
So tonight, for the energy of 9/9/9, this particular 9 is going to head out to the desert to watch the stars and, while I am there I shall harness the energy, call to the great Goddess and dance a prayer for us all….
May all your wishes be true!
PH Sky

In the realm of pure thought, ideas reach beyond limits to become realities
Realities shaped by experience, powered by feelings and viewed through the resulting filters
Realities where some have forgotten their power to choose

But I remember...
I see where I was and therefore choose another destination

Filters of fear removed
Filters of experience held for the value they hold
I cross the threshold and enter a new realm

For the PH8 of the Moon

Ever one to embrace chaos, the ultimate void from whence we emerged, I dance within.
The non-space of the eternal Now holds me enraptured. Soundless vibrations reverberate, choreographing the floating movement that holds me suspended in the constant flow. In the emptiness I am filled with wonder and joy.

Anchorless in the outer world I am carried along, adrift on the choppy waters of human emotion. The space is packed tight with fear and uncertainty. The music disharmonious. Grating noises that echo the sharpness of the choppy waters. In the maelstrom of the outer realms, I become emptied of hope.

I seek the balance between
Neither here nor there
Where the All is One

In fascination I observe the me that I am, navigating and orchestrating both without and within. Passionately detached, I embrace my Goddess-self and we journey along the razor’s edge. Affirming, almost moment-to-moment, the vision I have always held. That is the world towards which I journey.

Awakening
Arising
New
Now

We are beyond ourselves. Cosmic dancers. Star-seeded beings. We have re-memebered the future we dared to envision. The honeybees have not disappeared they went ahead to pollinate the new realm. And those of us who have held the vision of Love’s beauty are carrying this beautiful planet instead of her carrying us.

Stewards, care-takers of the sacred, we now speak heart-to-heart. Test your telepathy with each other. The voices are real. Deny the fears, they are the illusions. Let your vision expand to include only Love’s essence. Powerful Humans are Love’s Joy made manifest and PH8 (fate) calls us to the dance.

For the PH8 of the Moon

“One must have chaos within one’s self to birth a dancing star”
Friedrich Nitzsche

The words come when we are ready….

Confirming, congealing, coalescing into forms
we birth imagination through our emotional bodies.

Two years ago, on a Shaman’s journey, I lay on the desert hill under a starlit sky. I flowed into a consciousness that was so much more than I had ever touched. Surrendering to the gentle pull of its power, I merged with the intelligence of its endless depths. Floating through the emptiness, I held no thought other than surrendering to the beauty of this vast and endless awareness.

Visionary
Witch
Warrior
Woman
Held in the lap of Love’s being, I yielded up all the emptiness contained within me. All sorrow surrendered, I knew a birthing was at hand.

The charged gemstones that had been placed on my body aligned my energy centers and I sank, blissfully, into the gentle embrace of Gaia, my sister, the earth.
It was a long-anticipated reunion for both of us. As I drifted in the energy of Her unconditional Love I was catapulted beyond this star we call Gaia, beyond the boundaries created by the limits of our human emotions and I saw the place we all call ‘home’.
It is a living energy within us.

Merging
Becoming
One
Each to another
We dance in molecular motion
Evolving
Moving
Honoring
The gifts we carry
We are
the makers of worlds we weave

August 2. 2009
Wow!!! Such incredible gratitude for being able to do what I do. The vibration is intense and the connection to the vision, to you, to the work and play of life is the clarity I have sought. Thank you all. You are some of the most brilliant blessings in my life.

There have been some astounding shifts in energy since the Solstice back in late June. July sped by on a current of JOY, complete with a Solar eclipse that kicked a lot of old patterns to the forefront so we could overwrite those worn out programs. Since the eclipse energy was in Cancer, the sign of family, that is where most of the experiences of the eclipse energy were focused and felt. From 'family' to 'FAMILY', within each group, we are shifting the patterns of inter-relationships. One human molecule at a time we are healing the soul of Humanity by what we do.
There have been quite a few people passing lately, or on the verge of passing, both in our individual families and througout the wider expanse of humanity. Many of those crossing have either completed the journey their spirits took through this phase of our evolution or they are not acclimated to the newer energy of life. In either event, we can best serve them, and ourselves, by letting go of the 'old' stuff between us. Find forgiveness in your heart, let the past rest and step into a new design for your life. This has been my lesson since the Solstice.

Music is taking on an even greater importance for me. It used to be that it was primarily the electrical components in my environment that needed blocking, but with telepathy becoming a reality in many more people, I've had to literally 'plug-in' to my iPod more and more these days.
If you're finding that no matter how much you try to meditate to relieve stress, you are only adding more stress, stop 'trying'. Plug in to musical energy that moves you into a positive field of experience. Let it literally 'move' you. Stretch, sing, sway.. what you do doesn't matter... it's the energy of movement that matters.
Our connection to the vehicles that carry us on our journey is something to always honor. Maintenance is one thing... showering, trimming, tending.... is all good, but when I want to talk to Goddess or God... Spirit...., I move in rhythm to the gifts that pour through other vehicles on a journey.

As the last of the triple eclipses nears on August 5 we have time to breath as we once again begin forward on our journey. See the spirals and flow, the waves of energy that move through your life without reacting. For this is the message received from the Beings of Love... we, as a species have moved beyond our previous limitations. We stand at a threshold... the expanse of paradise is seen and we grow brighter with Love's fire. What will carry us across the threshold is the fact that we are learning how to respond to our emotions without re-acting to them.
Powerful Humans are choosing to not allow the power of our emotions to push into actions that keep us stuck in old patterns of behavior. We are wising up....
Be Blissed for we are Love!

A firmilar energy

The feeling literally swelled, birthing a buoyancy that lifted me beyond the room. Illuminating senses that live in the furthest reaches of consciousness, it burst through me, out of me, within me and beyond me. I took a breath, found the center and turned to Holly asking her to reach out and touch the energy.

Tapping in, she immediately recognized it as “something not of this world, ever”. It told her that he, she “had never walked this earth, don’t look for me here in this world”.

A stranger to Holly, it is kin to me and it’s been some time since I felt this presence, to this degree. The closeness is home, tasting of sounds that tickle my heart. I am filled with the enormity of the beauty it bestows. I own the grace that it brings, neither humbled nor elevated, we have become one; that is why it is neither she nor he.

The new vista is seen, the feelings followed are manifest… no longer dreamt, but lived. The illuminating energy opened the space to infinite wonders and we continued to weave the dream.

Beyond Holly I sensed the vastness of infinite space… spilling its’ richness in to our world… all that we desire lives within the vast sea of potential. The void from which we grew, the limitless expanse of love provided it all we have ever dreamt of, and more.

What the wind carried!

I am the ageless voice
within the timeless space
I am the deepest point of light
the dark
unknown
the call within my being
the limitless void
holding all potential...
from within the womb of night
I Am
Love eternal
Speak to me of your desires
Cry to me from wounds deep and ancient
Embrace my essence as your own
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Spring progresses, I feel the strength of the Mother growing. Rising from slumber , She awakens within us. Calling us to fields and spaces springing forth with new life... re-newed life, life sprung from the heart of Love. She is weaving wildflowers on Her body. She is evoking delight from deep within and we cannot help but feel the call. The ancient blood runs in our very veins and we are moved by the tides of life. Immerse yourself in the cosmic ocean of your own consciousness. Awaken all that is dormant, latent and asleep within. There is long wave coming, holding much of the deep within it. The shore of 'home' is in sight and the cresting of the incoming wave will carry us even closer to the living land of Love!

Resurrection & Reflection
This last weekend I made a pilgrimage... one that moved me forward towards something new and sorely needed. On that journey, I recalled a timespace from when I first set foot on the path of Spirit.

Last Sunday, Palm Sunday, I attended a service at the Temple of the Self-Realization Fellowship. The chant used that day..... sung to call together the hearts of the attendees.... is one I often sang in joy and bliss more than 25 years ago as a way to evoke the Mother aspect of the Goddess.
In the Temple, the words... not sung for many Moons... flowed up from my heart and as they did, they bolstered me from behind while I viewed a new vista with my mind's eye. In that space, I felt how far I've come in all the years since I first learned the song.

On Friday I had placed my feet in the waters' of the Pacific... allowing the waves to wash me clean of the energetic sludge that accumulates in 3D reality.... I was opened anew and blessed once more. During the Temple mediation in that Sacred space.... lifted by the wholiness of the experience, I wept tears of Gratitude and found myself Purified by the well of Love that flows within me. And it was on that flow that this daughter of the Moon flew back to the Spirit realm during the meditation.
It was the recharge I've needed ..... Winter's end had left me bereft of energy... drained from processing the fear and despair of people who have not yet been able to see the world that Love's light has created...... our 'home'.

This 'resurrection' of energy... the clearing and recharge has shown me a new sky above us.... with colors so deep that we will can taste them with our eyes. We hear the celestial songs of rejoicing stars, ringing, bell-like and clear.... elated at our reunion with divinity.
Oneness is All.... Peace and Joy and Bliss are ALL within Oneness we Are!

Now as the waves of the cosmic ocean within me are clearer, offering more of a reflection.... I see the Wisdom gleaned along my journey from when I first sang that devotional song.... I see how I have been able to surrender my need to 'fix' the world, preferring to let the world heal itself.... just as we each heal our Self. I see how just the simple act of sitting with a friend who feels lost and alone... sitting and just listening.... provides them with a space in which to heal. I see how Love creates.

I returned to the Pacific on Monday to gather sand and water as gifts for a friend..... I stood in the waves once more, but this time I sang the devotional within my heart and thanked the sea for taking my burden.... for washing my feet and preparing me for blessings anew... As I walked back to my companion, She sang back... sending vibrations up my spine and the charge, now a complete circuit... is teaching me how it is wonderful it is to just simply Be.

Below are words to the Devotional song. It is sung in a sing-songy manner. It is one of many chants/devotionals that can be found through the Self-Realization Fellowship founded by Paramahansa Yogananda.

Observations on Trust and Drama

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, TRUST, literally defined means:
1 a: assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something
b: one in which confidence is placed.
For me, to trust someone is to offer them a fragile gift given from the heart. Once damaged it can be damn near impossible to repair. If repeated damage occurs scars often weaken the structure, jading the giver.
Violations of trust can range from the personal when the trust/confidence is betrayed for purely egocentric gain, to the impersonal where a complete stranger can violate an individual.
The lesson? Be careful where you place your trust for some find little value in such a gift.

Drama, in its colloquial use, is an addiction to some; they thrive on its creation. The real explanation of 'drama' dawned on me in conversation this past weekend. Every one of us is faced with difficult situations throughout our lives. Our initial responses can be, and very often are, highly charged emotional reactions. What we do with those emotions is what defines us. If we are proactive Powerful Humans, we are spurred to positive action that will lead us to a satisfactory conclusion or resolution of the situation. However, people choose to 'act out' and blindly follow deeply ingrained patterned behaviors align themselves with the fear-based ideology that has all but destroyed this precious world. Caught up in 'drama' victims of this behavior metaphorically wring their hands, relying on the "oh poor me" mind-set that has allowed fear to flourish in this world.
The lesson? Immediately withdraw from this behavior as it is negative and will drain you. Additionally, supporting it drains the world.

New Moon Greetings!
The Year of the Ox has dawned with this morning's Aquarian New Moon. The Moon woke me with a gentle urgency to "get up and get moving". She kept repeating the Invocations to the Archangels, Elements and Directions that I had adapted from the Hermetic Tradition at Yule of 2007. I laid there, trying to go back to sleep as it was not even 4 AM at the time, but my trying was to no avail. The Moon is my Mother and I have vowed to serve Her as She sees fit. So here I sit, sipping Essiac tea and opening myself to Her Will once again. It seems fitting since yesterday morning I had a dreamtime experience where I found myself in this 'realm' I sometimes inhabit during sleep... it is a twilight world where the light is neither bright nor dark, a misty world where I encounter interesting elements of life. Yesterday, while there, I found myself alone in a parking lot, leaning against a car. As I stood there contemplating, a huge Raven swooped down from a lamp post and began to drink from a small puddle of rain water. As I watched, this Raven was not gaining too much for the effort so I thought to pour some of the orange juice I was holding out on the ground. With this the Raven began to drink is fill and then promptly flew up to my shoulder where it began nuzzling its head against mine. A moment or two later, it jumped down to my arms and just cuddled up to me... then the scene switched and I was no longer in that 'realm'. Raven is one of my totem animals, guiding me and they represent Magic... ceremonial Magic to be specific, so it's no surprise that the Moon would wake me with invocations used in those ceremonies.
Since the probability of doing ceremony with all of you is quite low, I offer them to you at the beginning of this year of the Ox.... the totem for the year I was born. It seems fitting that the invocations should have risen in consciousness at this time as I have been engrossed in the channeled messages from operationterra.com (click on "the books" once there) as the invocations are a dedication of oneself to what the Hermetic tradition refers to as "the Great Work". A society of alchemists, the Hermetics sought to transform the baser levels of the self to a more refined expression of our human nature. These invocations, learned early on in my training, formed the basis of my journey through the last 28 years and the idea of self-transformation to the highest frequency is the major focus of the books from Operation Terra and, I believe it is the reason we are here at this time. The "great work" we have all been doing to raise our vibrations from the enslavement that has held the human species back for so long... the soul searching, the cleansing of our emotional debris... is about to bear the fruits of our labor. We stand at the threshold of a new world and as another New Year dawns, I see our vision of "home" on the horizon. In honor of that vision, I offer the following to you so that you can stay centered in the calm as a the storms rage around us. Consider taking time with each phase of the Moon to offer the following to the source of Self that is our common ground. The Raven brought to mind the idea of ritual and the Moon urged me to share the idea with you so to fulfill my vows, I offer this idea for ritual to you.
Here are the dates for the Moon phases for this cycle:
New Moon Solar Eclipse 1/26 ~ First Quarter 2/2 ~ Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 2/9
Last Quarter 2/16
The ritual I have been shown is as follows:
Facing East, with arms raised to the sky, avow the Powerful Human Creed:
"I AM the most Powerful Human in the World!
I Live in the Universal flow!
My Life is Wealth!
My Choice is Priceless!
My Love of Self is Power!
I AM Infinite!
I AM Love!
I AM the most Powerful Human in the World!"

As you ground yourself in the Creed, begin by facing East and avow the following:

"Hail unto thee my brother the Sun, seat and symbol of the solar logos and of the real self.
Hail unto thee Raphael, Archangel of Air, Regent of the East, Greater Hierophant of the Mystery. Unto you I offer my service and devotion. I dedicate the whole of myself to the performance of the Great Work. Raphael, teach me thy Wisdom."

Make a quarter turn to the right and face South, avowing:
"Hail unto thee my brother the Sun, seat and symbol of the solar logos and of the real self.
Hail unto thee Michael, Archangel of Fire, Regent of the South, Captain of the Angelic Army. Unto you I offer my service and devotion. I dedicate the whole of myself to the performance of the Great Work. Michael, move me with thy passion."

Make a quarter turn to the right and face West, avowing:
"Hail unto thee my brother the Sun, seat and symbol of the solar logos and of the real self.
Hail unto thee Gabriel, Archangel of Water, Regent of the West, Messenger of Love. Unto you I offer my service and devotion. I dedicate the whole of myself to the performance of the Great Work. Gabriel, guide me with thy flow."

Make a quarter turn to the right and face North, avowing:
"Hail unto thee Polaris, Star of the North, seat and symbol of the Sun beyond the Sun and of the Self beyond the self. Hail unto thee Uriel, Archangel of Earth, Regent of the North, Teacher of the Law. Unto you I offer my service and devotion. I dedicate the whole of myself to the performance of the Great Work. Uriel, sustain me with thy beauty."

Our "home" is within us and we are birthing a new reality with each breath. Remain centered in Love and we will ride the waves with ease.
Be Blissed my friends for we are Love!

For the PH8 of the Moon

OK... this is really superbly and sublimely magnificent! The texture of this emotion is like star velvet wrapping me in inky depths. I feel like a burst of blue white energy rapt in the depths of wine colored sky.
A phase shift has been completed.... a new energy lives within us. We sparkle with light-bearing Love, floating along the timeless expanse of space .... we arch and flow, ebb and straighten as the energy demands. Servants to Love, we surf a boundless sea and find treasure where we land.

There is a cold shutter within... linked to the core... a "bone chilling" cold that calls me to wrap my physical vehicle in warmth as sub-zero temps grip the northern regions of the earth. Even the desert's warmth cannot calm this chill.
I recall my own passage through Menopause, the "change" testing me to my limits and pushing me quite far beyond them. My deep chills are Gaia's 'hot-flashes'... so hot they are frigid, and blissfully they go as quickly as they come.

This journey, our heart's whisper, is why we are. We thought, we imagined and we loved the idea. And so we set out, lifted with Love's wings, to find what treasures awaited our arrival.
We found a wealth as we set down in Gaia's energy field. Her Love... a coherent frequency.... resonated and we began to nourish each other. Becoming stewards of a galactic garden, we began to till the fields and seed the garden. Throughout the ages we have tended, nurtured and grown those seeds of light, bits of our selves that matured as we have journeyed and now it is time to reap the fruits of our labors.... our light bodies are ripe.
Our passion/labor eases Gaia's transition through the "change" and as I had once found solace in the eyes of a few knowing 'lights', so too does Gaia find Her hope in us. Stewards of Love, a new garden lives!
With PH love,
Sky
