To the Bullies…

To the Bullies of the world… I see you, I have always seen you.

When you made fun of me
When you robbed me
When you molested me
When you threatened me
When you beat me up

I still see you parading as though you have all the right in the world to be mean and uncaring.

However… what I really see, is the damaged little child that hides in your heart.

Who was neglected
Who was sexually abused
Who suffered hunger
Who became broken

I have fought you
I have hated you
I have outed you
and yet you still remain while I have changed

I do not fear you, or your behaviors as I now recognize them as a cry for help
For your pain is far greater than mine

You will never understand Love and Compassion
You will never understand Unity and Lovingkindness
You will always be separated from who you truly are

Deeply lost in your secret hiding place
from where you throw out your destructive
and violent self-hatred energy

Hoping that someday it will empty
and you will be able to feel loved

I can Love You
but I don’t have to be near you
or be your victim
and nothing you can do can stop me

For you show me how to be thankful
that I am … not you

and so my wish for you is…

May your heart open ever so slightly
and allow Peace, Light and Love
to seep ever so gently into it
that I May welcome you back from your Hell

Shining Your Light

19 Saturday Nov 2016

How beautiful you are!
How utterly amazing and brilliant you are!

Shining Your Light is a topic that I find myself continually processing in my own daily life. Many people ask, what does that really mean, and I find myself answering in many ways depending on whom I may be speaking to.

Light is the energetic essence behind all life as I perceive it. It is the source of our being which we have named in so many ways, creating religions around it and without which, life as we know it in human form would not be possible. It is both Star energy and Galactic energy which is definable only to which point our limitations allow us to understand. Yes, we are Galactic beings who live in a dimensional frequency which has limitations. We know and overcome these only through our ability to discern by comparison and integration at our human level.

Light however is the essence behind all of our actions. When our actions are guided through the conscious mind of what we call awareness, they are filtered according to life experience or genetic memory, which comes to us through the DNA of our ancestors. This means that our Light is filtered through a collective awareness of past experiences in which all humanity have recorded and passed many of their fragments, both positive and negative, on to the current generations.

We also filter Our Light in accordance to the collective energy fields in which it is broadcast within at any given moment. So we find ourselves feeling many different levels of intensity based on our timeline experiences and environments, both personally and globally.

This brings me to the current situations that are happening around the world today, not just in America but in every human gathering. There is much anger and hatred, pain and suffering, hunger and abuse, as well as erratic leadership which is being fueled at an accelerated rate, beyond which our global humanity has ever experienced before. The individual instances or perpetrators are not needed to be named or blamed, yet we need to realize that they are a part of the whole which has now become extremely unbalanced.

This is where Shining Your Light comes in…

We have been told and made to believe that our power is limited, that we need a leader, that if we were left to our own devices we would not survive. This is not the truth, but an agreement our ancestors made to live by, out of fear. It is no longer able to sustain itself as a viable concept anymore as more awaken to the Light They Are.

Yes, you feel it as it begins to flow through your heart. It cannot be denied once you understand what it is. It is you at another dimensional level of yourself, entering into your physical presence and directing you to open your heart, in spite of your fear.

Each of us are a powerful Ray of Light which has the capacity to change and transmute anything and everything it comes into contact with, through our collective unification and alignment. As we align with each other and let go of our judgment which precedes fear,  Our Light begins to quantify. When we direct it in harmony and balance towards any negative, self-limiting or globally destructive behavior, it dis-empowers that energy and transmutes it.

Many Rays As One…

Mother Earth needs Your Light right now!
She is evolving just as we are evolving and it is Our Light which she is calling for, more so, than the light of the Sun or the Central Sun. It is through each of Us that the birthing of a New Earth will be eased and induced.

So as I reflect upon the transgressions around the world which all serve to distract us from gathering together in Light, it becomes more obvious that the power We Truly Are is what is feared most in this world…

Be Your Light – Shine Your Light
allow it resonate with others who are just beginning to Shine
send it to all the areas or situations that upset you
it is renewable and will increase the more you give

Listen to your Heart for this is your Greatest Light
The Light of Peace
The Light of Love

Many blessings to each of you
I Send You My
Peace, Light and Love

Same As It Ever Was ???

11 Friday Nov 2016

Tags

, , , , , , ,

2016_10_19_1635_

Isn’t it an amazing journey this awareness we call Life?
To be physically present in a body which is totally dependent on its environment to experience it.

We are about to make a giant leap forward!

Here in the United States we had an election which could be called the Greatest Show On Earth… at least for the moment.
No offense to Dan Rice or Ringling Brothers!

I was reminded, as I sat down to write, of the song by Talking Heads – Once On A Lifetime.
Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…

kept playing through my silly mind and I finally relaxed enough to let go of my pent up energy.

The above picture of the York River with the ducks so quietly floating in the distance conveyed the next message…
Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

and I became like the ducks who are unfazed by politics except the results of which destroy their and our environment.

Yes, we will all survive the next President and hopefully learn more about our relationships to each other and the world which sustains us. We are all co-creators and need to tune in to those songlines which run deep through Mother Earth.

Life is not all about economics or consumption, profit and loss or any of the other agreements we have made over the thousands of years of our human existence here.
It is about who we are as caretakers and family members of a species here which is as fragile as the many life forms which have and are now becoming extinct.

Yes! We are about to make a giant leap forward and we may fall a few times.
We may get a few scrapes, bruises, bleed a little or need a few sutures, but we can do this.
We have amazing resilience and strength in our collective wisdom.
We are to Teach Our Children Well

Another song popping in to my head which I played and sang for years in my younger days, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young…

“Teach Your Children”
You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father’s hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you’ll know by.                   

Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And know as well, that I Love You, my brothers and sisters, and I look forward to what you and I will co-create from our hearts as we continue in this journey we call Life.

2016_10_27_1655_

Isn’t it a beautiful world
when we can be thrilled by color
quietly carried in the feathers
of those who visit our yards
in the not so early morning…

2016_10_27_1659_

There within a stone’s throw
and on constant alert
they protect each other with alertness
thankful for the offering of food
from the human gatherer
yet wary of his threat to their survival

2016_10_27_1655_

Satisfied of no imminent danger
while still attuned with all faculties
they are united in their energy

Teaching us all that sustainability
is dependent on trusting each other
to share in the abundance
while on guard from predators

Quiet Waters resonate
internal stillness
all perception fades away

Let us take a moment whenever possible

to make available
to acknowledge

…internal stillness…

to permit
to yield

…all perception…

to create space
to Allow

Completing Cycles

23 Sunday Oct 2016

2016_10_23_1647_

Such is the nature of Maple
whose green shade in Summer
allows for gentle breezes to flow
creating lazy afternoons in lawn chairs

First came the changing colors
the inner knowing of a cycle
calling itself back to center
releasing the extension of itself

From Red to Orange and Yellow
softly falling to blanket the lawn
increasing volume with the weather
so suitable for inner water to move

The long drought of the season
perhaps was uncomfortable
yet her fireworks display
is a spectacular testimony to us all

As we also move through the seasons
our water flows to uplift us
and in return retracts on silent cue
to timelines we each create within us

Perhaps we too are thirsty
and calling ourselves back
into the roots of ourselves
to rest and unite within our hearts

One cycle completes as another begins
and so the rings of our inner planes
expand and regenerate in worldly rhythm
in accordance with ancient protocols

25 Years Old and Remembering

20 Thursday Oct 2016

ou

past-life-obituary

Yes you may all have heard of what is commonly called Near Death Experiences.
Well I Am one of those who have died and returned
and today is my 25th anniversary of that
amazing and blessed event.

There are many books now of those who share their stories and great studies of so many who volunteered to be part of several studies by researchers. I however chose not to.
No, I chose to experience it and not allow others to interpret or program my thinking to what it is according to someone else.

I Am still experiencing it and can share with all honesty that each of you are eternal beings.
Whether you want to believe it or not.

A little background info…
I was an alcoholic and had just been homeless by choice and actually on a suicide mission although I wasn’t consciously aware of it at the time.. I had gotten divorced, had to file bankruptcy due to the divorce and lost relationship with my only my daughter with whom there has never been reconciliation.

So back to the story of my death…
It began on a Saturday, on an exceptionally warm day when I pulled my bike out of storage and went for a ride. It was a 67 Triumph custom chopper which was my escape from reality.

I had a habit of bar-hopping on my bike; cruising to several Biker Bars for a beer and chatting up with whoever you might run into.
That would have been fine but at the last bar there was word of a bar in my town closing that night and it would be a big party … all you could eat and drink for short money.
Well I’m all in for that since there was very little of those opportunities in my life at this point.
I’ll save the details for another story someday as this is a day of remembering and gratitude.

This was what I looked like the day after my motorcycle accident on 10.20.1991.
img_0002-1

It was Sunday when I returned to my body and the Doctor in the hospital welcomed me back
with a sarcastic remark, although quite apropos at the time. “Welcome back Mr. Bergeron  we see you have decided to return! I guess we will finish picking the gravel out of your skull and sew your ear back on.”
I however was not so accepting of his wit, replying, “Knock your socks off Doc!”

Needless to say the next remembrance was a nurse arriving and asking if I thought I could get myself dressed. Being the stubborn macho male I was I said yes and did it. However to this day I cannot remember how I could have done that with all the pain I was in.

When she returned she asked if I had anyone I could call for a ride home and I thought of the only friend I had at the time, my neighbor Jack who had been trying to help me get my act together and turn my life around.
When he arrived he looked at me and said, “They can’t release you!” and went over to the desk to see if I was trying to pull a con. You see, Jack had been and was now a recovering alcoholic as well and was trying to get me to into AA and he knew all the cons that people could and had played.

Nope, they were releasing me… of course they were… I had no insurance!

jack-1
This picture on my wall is not Jack but it so resembles him that when I saw it I had to buy it.
He was with me and said what do want that picture for and I laughed and never told him. I knew that one day he would not be in my life and I wanted to always remember how much he had done for me.
I’m crying right now as I type this. Bless you Jack Man wherever you are!
Wow I didn’t expect that.

Jack was a Gunny Sgt in the Marines with a tour of Korea and 2 tours of Vietnam and told me he couldn’t take care of me that I needed 24 hr care. He was right I was a big mess … no broken bones but one painful body that could barely move.

Needless to say I’m still here and writing this and as I healed the physical wounds I had to deal with the issues of a completely new way of seeing the world I was in.

You see when I died and left my body… I remember looking down at myself on the ground all banged up and a cop was asking me for my license and information and I was responding to him as best I could. However the real I, was viewing it like a movie , no pain, no feelings of emotion and moving further away until the vision disappeared.

My next remembrance was that I became Pure Peace, Pure Light and Pure Love.
There is nothing in this human life existence that can truly describe it. It was perfection on all levels.
However I did not stay there, although I could have very easily.

I was called out of that wholeness where I met with etheric beings which I don’t try to describe but allow people to imagine for themselves as they can appear as anything that you will feel comfortable to speak with and we discussed my life as in a review and the why and wherefores of that lifetime. Yet I was given a choice to return or not.

I chose to come back but with some conditions which we discussed at length.
My brain and memory was to be altered so that I could not use it in the same way as before. That I would know whatever I needed when it was appropriate to my purpose and if not, to accept it was not necessary at that moment.
That I would never forget my purpose this time.

My purpose is to be of service in anchoring the Peace, Light and Love that I was, and which had now been imprinted in my physical mind and body, into the Earth and All Life Forms  that I encountered.

And so with that thought I Am Complete…img_01961
I Bless each of you on this day
with that
Divine Peace, Light and Love
of my Experience
May you know in your Hearts
How much you are Loved
and that
You Are Eternal
not as humans
but as Souls

S ource
O f
U nconditional

Not Trusting Yourself Lately???

16 Sunday Oct 2016

Riverman Blessing the York River for the Full Moon on 10.16.16

Trusting Yourself has been a theme this week for many people I talk to and this morning a blog article I posted on facebook was addressing this issue as well.

My own interpretation is that the energies of the Earth are shifting at such great rates that we are sometimes feeling overwhelmed by things we thought we had already moved beyond. Some days we are finding ourselves somewhat lost in our own shirt and shoes.

The article triggered a response from a friend who synchronistically awakened with same theme that I also have been pondering for over a week now.

With her permission I share each of our perspectives as we spontaneously move into resonance with each other.

KN : )… I woke up today with the theme of trust on my mind. Always love the synchronicity of subjects by which we are moved to inspire ourselves each day.


RIVERMAN… Trusting ourselves has come up more than I like to admit and nice to know it is not just me 
KN : )… It’s a work in progress, certainly so, new levels of doubt triggered by the observation of a world still reflecting increasingly painful circumstances of both current and past fears, allowing opportunities to heal those deeper levels of our beliefs in powerlessness or illusions so to restore deeper levels of our power through the release of control in exchange for trust. Always easier said than done at times at this point, of course.

So, no, my friend, you are not alone in that way or in anyway for that matter, in this journey of transformation we have embraced. : ) We are connected to inspire one another through it by sharing our personal challenges and the inspirational pathways we blaze through them, not to pretend we don’t have these challenges of further strengthening ourselves through the chaos of shifts and change, and so we WILL find our way through it.

No question about that, though it does feel and look questionable at times, especially as we observe this pipeline situation and all the reflections of powerlessness it embodies screaming for the release of both personal and collective fear on every level in every way.


 RIVERMAN… So well said and finding our way indeed…
I’m reminded of many walks in the woods where we lose sight of the familiar trail.
Our confidence is strong at first and as we wander, the external light becomes less radiant and the shadows grow much longer.
Here we are called upon to reach within and embrace our own Light.
Our eyes see many negative energies lurking and we lose our sense of purpose and orientation.
Sending this message to the mind that we are on the edge of becoming lost, our trust begins to wane.
We know we are being called to rest and listen, but can we dare to listen to that still quiet voice amongst all the furor.
Yes we must!
For only then will the true path and location, of our exit from the rising and controlling fear be seen clearly.
Trusting ourselves once more and grounding that into the Earth beneath our feet, we regain our strength and move forward.
Knowing we were never really in danger, except to fluctuating circumstances which change directions like the wind.
Perhaps they are all a part of a Grand Design, not perceivable yet, to our ever evolving self.
Perhaps as well, intentioned by ourselves, to promote and remind us of the Powerful Beings WE Truly Are

2016_09_13_1512_We are filled
with fading memories
of beautiful moments
enriched by love

All worries and fears
are left behind
in the body
where they once dwelled

We rise
in a glorious vibration
of our deepest
heart resonance

A sea of joy
on which we float
carefree once again
enriched by love

A Maple, Some Marigolds and a Bee

2016_10_08_1613_

Beloved maple in my yard
today you do not embrace the sun…
your green is almost gone
your orange turns to red
and deepens
much like our love
for each other

2016_10_08_1618_

Beloved marigolds
planted each year
around this tree held together
so that birds have a place to perch
how brilliant you are
in the midst
of changing seasons

2016_10_08_1614_

Beloved brother Bee
thank you for your amazing work

2016_10_08_1615_

too busy to notice me
while you swiftly visit

2016_10_08_1616_

four different flowers
to gather your precious bounty

2016_10_08_1617_

I will savor these moments
during the long cold Winter
knowing full well
the beauty
each of you have
left in my memory
