May Grace and Peace both flow into and forth from Your Divine Hearts.

DarylMadden

A step into dawning
A still masterpiece
Encounter before me
A morningful of peace

Where spirit is drawing
An easy release
Being of prayer
Encompassed in peace

Silent the moving
Awareness increase
Infused in defusing
A dwelling of peace

Grace of bestowing
Of me here decrease
A sharing becoming
A carrier of peace

You may have been trying very hard to achieve something recently
You may feel despite all your efforts, to be slowed down with no evident reason,
Unable to move forward as fast as you wish to,leaving you frustrated.
Take it easy
Dont be too hard on yourself
A lot of your energy has been taken on surmounting your challenges recently and staying on track.
Be proud of yourself for doing so
You have been through a lot and you have not lost your vision
That is to be commended.
Staying on track, not losing your way and dealing with whatever has come your way took a lot out of you
Have compassion for yourself
Youve come a long way
Even if you cannot yet see tangible results
You have cleaned so many inner barriers and old energy.
Allow your being to integrate all the changes involved in order to make…

Mia and I have never met in person yet we have been friends for many years through our writings…
It is time I share her work with the world here on my own blog as she speaks to what we are all experiencing on many levels from Her Heart.

This is where were at
The Universe means Business
Everything that is Not Light
Shall be Transformed
We Are to Return to the Love that we Are
We are Powerful Co Creators wth the Divine
Anything that comes up for you
You can successfuly Transmute into Light.YES
You Are That Powerful
It is time to Recognise and Own your Power
Rise above any disturbance
Breathe deeply
Into it
And infuse with Light
Ask the Divine to help you do so
You have Full Support upon request and Deliberate Intention
These times are intense for a reason
See through the veil of illusion
Of anger, pain and despair.
Look straight into the eye of that which is challenging you for the umpteenth time
Stand Tall
You are no longer a victim
You never were
You are a Powerful Being
Be Still
Tune Inwards
Deep within is your Source

Today May Not Be The Day For Answers

10 Monday Dec 2018

Not a day for Answers

I do not usually repost the writings of others yet this morning I was struck by this message from  A Loving Healing Space Blog by Matt Licata

So many of us can relate to this beautiful opportunity to take a bit of time out from trying to always have an answer for everything that happens to us or around us.

Immediately I wanted to find a picture to place his last statement on as my heart felt the need to share this with the world.

And so I have… not as an answer but an opportunity to deepen within my own Heart and Listen more carefully.
Riverman

Today may not be the day for answers

The contradictory feelings of hope and hopelessness, meaning and flatness, anxiety and rest. The shakiness and uncertainty in the belly. The tightness in the throat. The raw breaking inside the heart. The joy that at times is there, but never can seem to be sustained.

All the techniques, the teachings, the things to manifest, the new beliefs to take on, the worn-out ideas about the true source of peace, aliveness, and flowing abundance. Perhaps there were once answers to these questions, but now there is no answer to be found. Only a burning where the questions once existed.

This burning is the doorway, the portal, pure evidence of the connection.

A cosmic sort of exhaustion can come at times, where we find ourselves in the bardo between one moment and the next. We can’t quite go back to the way it was, but the rebirth has yet to appear. There is a creativity in the liminal but it can seem out of reach. We are asked to marinate in the womb of now, tend to the groundlessness, and find refuge in the unknown: to be midwife to the darkened illumination. There are signs and symbols and guidance all around and inside us, but their appearance is governed by a timeline written somewhere else.

As we bear witness to a new day, in awe at the gift that has been given… the breath is here. The heart is quivering. The birds have come. Sounds from the other world, another opportunity to hear, to behold the miracle of the senses. The sun has come up again. The moon is hiding nearby waiting her turn. For just one moment, the veil parts and the perfection is there awaiting our participation.

Your life is not an unending self-improvement project and your heart is not a venture to be undertaken, mastered, and completed. Perhaps today was never going to be the day when you figured it all out, got all your questions answered, or resolved the contradictions. It’s just too wild for all that. Just too creative. Just too alive.

Today may not be the day for answers, but to let your heart break open to the vastness of the question. To fall to the ground as a humble lover of the mystery. And listen once again.

Matt Licata – December 10, 2018

Feeling extra sensitive? Our current physical world does not hold much space for emotions But were here to change that We Are the change I know its not easy To move through this world that does not accomodate But the change starts with us Honor your emotions Honor your depth Do not try to adapt […]

Remembering playing in the gutters when I was a child
Watching everything being caught up in the water and swept away
Creating dams and diversions to direct the flow or catch floating objects
Beginning to understand the grander nature of impermanence
Knowing one day I would return home to the Stars
~Riverman

My Words were inspired by Eyes & Words wonderful post this morning.

New Moon and Freewill

24 Saturday Jun 2017

Tags

Artwork, Blessings, Inspiration, Photography, Poetry, Reflection, Writing

0f545-refractedlightWith the New Moon energies stirring the waters of my E-nergy-Motion this article reminded me of the importance of what we have labelled Free Will.

I say labelled as this it what we have done for thousands of years in our attempt to rule and govern each other by the use of language.

It brought to mind several issues in which all of us are now feeling separation and trying to influence others to align with us without respecting their freewill.

Freewill starts by listening deeply and then finding the source of the other person’s energetic alignment. Then we can process the energy behind the words and choose how to proceed personally.

We are releasing so much pain and suffering from thousands of years of control that it is a serious challenge to not align or be triggered by others.

Yet we must now be diligent in coming back into our center before we take action. Lest we perpetuate violating our own sovereignty for the sake of belonging or being in agreement with each other.

~ Riverman 6.24.17

The Importance of Being Free

June 24, 2017 by Steve Beckow

I just see, more and more each day, how critically important it is for me to respect the free will of others.It cannot be that all we’re about is ourselves moving forward with our projects and getting ahead. It has to be that some among us are about helping others to get ahead. (1)

It cannot be that all we’re about is controlling events to get what we want. We have to allow others control over their own destiny.

If you were to ask me which Universal Law I’d like to specialize in, I’d have to say the Law of Free Will.  Matthew Ward defined it as follows:

“The law of free will is a cosmic law decreeing that it is the birthright of all souls to choose their pathway toward or away from spiritual enlightenment.” (2)

On another occasion, he added:

“All souls have free will regardless of their evolvement status, whether living in spirit worlds or physical civilizations, or their location in the universe.” (3)

We violate each other’s free will so often and in such a mundane manner that I’ll bet we don’t notice it. It becomes part of what Werner called the background of obviousness.

Telling another what they should do. Implying that what they’re doing is ill-advised or wrong-headed.  Asking them “why” they’re doing what they’re doing in cases where we don’t like what they’re doing.  Gumming up their machinery, diverting them, withdrawing support – on and on go the strategems of control.

I think of what Hilarion taught us some years ago on the matter:

“Each individual has the right to express and act on their own inner convictions of what they feel is the right thing to do and it behooves everyone to begin to respect each other no matter what the diversity of their opinions and convictions are. Everyone has the right of free-will choice because you live on a free-will planet and that is what it means to live on a free-will planet!” (4)

What exactly does he mean by exercising free-will choice? He explains:

“It is the right of each individual to access their internal sovereignty and use their Divine wisdom and knowledge to make free-will choices in that which they feel is the right and good thing to do. Because opinions differ does not mean that those you oppose are less than you – all it means is that they walk to a different beat. All that means is that they have taken the time to go within and choose that which they believe is the right choice to make.” (5)

In these times especially, it becomes critical to allow others to follow their own star, he says.

“These current times are all about choosing to follow your own star, to walk in joy, to do those things that bring you joy, that bring you happiness. It is not required that you need the outer world to dictate to you what can bring that joy to you, it is all within you and it has always been within you – for that is where the Divine lives – within you!” (6)

I wonder what kind of a world it would be if we paid as much attention to respecting each other’s free will as the celestials and galactics pay attention to respecting ours?

Well, a peaceful world for a start. All dictatorial regimes have taken away free will as soon as they had the barest claim to power. And so many couples in relationships seem to want to saddle each other and break each other to the bit.

When will we let go of all notions of control save those that are totally necessary? (2) When will we see that our advice, “shoulds,” and opinions are not really what the situation requires. Listening would be a start. Respecting the freewill of another? Now that would be an innovation.

There’s a whole new curriculum I’ll be studying in the years ahead. And the very first entry on it is Free Will 101.

Footnotes

(1) Service to self vs. service to self and others.

(2) Like in emergency services.

Samhain Blessings

31 Monday Oct 2016

Blessings, Inspiration, Photography, Reflection

samhain-blessing

Robert Moss has so magically written…

The last night of October is the start of Samhain (which is pronounced “sow-in”), the great Celtic festival when the dead walk among the living, the fires are extinguished and rekindled, the god and the goddess come together in sacred union, and as the year turns from light to dark, the seeded earth prepares to give birth again.

It’s a time, when the Celts knew what they were doing, to watch yourself and watch comings and goings from the barrows and mounds that are peopled by ghosts and faeries. It’s a time to honor the friendly dead, and the lordly ones of the Sidhe, and to propitiate the restless dead and remember to send them off and to set or re-set very clear boundaries between the living and the hungry ghosts. It’s a time to look into the future, if you dare, because linear time is stopped when the hollow hills are opened.

As Celtic scholar Marie-Louise Sjoestedt wrote, “This night belongs neither to one year or the other and is, as it were, free from temporal restraint. It seems that the whole supernatural force is attracted by the seam thus left at the point where the two years join, and gathers to invade the world of men.”

If you have never learned to dream or see visions or to feel the presence of the spirits who are always about – if you have never traveled beyond the gates of death or looked into the many realms of the Otherworld – this is the time when you’ll see beyond the veil all the same, because the Otherworld is going to break down the walls of the little box you call a world, and its residents are coming to call on you.

Text adapted from The Dreamer’s Book of the Dead by Robert Moss (Destiny Books)
Full Article … The Robert Moss BLOG

May the ancestors deliver blessings on you and yours…
May the new year bear great fruits for you…
May your granted wishes be as many as the seeds in a pomegranate…
May the slide into darkness bring you light…
May the memories of what has been keep you strong for what is to be…
May this Samhain cleanse your heart, your soul, and your mind!

— traditional Samhain blessing
