Myth of the Cave

Published October 1, 2020 by tindertender

Oh We’re tying the stars to the mountains
The mountains to the stars. We are so high
That we can see beyond the wall of our own horizons
Waywayah. Waywayah

Cords that Knot & threads that bind
Tell the tale of Humankind
From long ago into future returning
All wisdoms from lifetimes learnt
Out of the cave the Shining Ones rise
A hope awoke in their eyes
We weave a new myth into the Timelines

Oh We’re tying the stars to the mountains
The mountains to the stars. We are so high
That we can see beyond the wall of our own horizons

Old Basket Maker tends to her net
Gathering up all the ones who have leapt
Smooth our way into The Emergence
Oh I Am who I Am Oh I Am
Reflecting all that you see I am
Generosity flows from our hands
Enough talk now it is time for deeds

Oh We’re tying the stars to the mountains
The mountains to the stars. We are so high
That we can see beyond the wall of our own horizons
Waywayah. Waywayah

Strip out of any illusionary attire
Into the smoke of the eucalyptus fire
Pounding our feet in the rising dust
In freedom & wonder, Creator we trust
We restore balance through our reverence of life
Quivers full of courage & our blood lightening

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God)

Oh we’re tying the stars to the mountains
The mountains to the stars. We are so high
That we can see beyond the wall of our own horizons
Waywayah. Waywayah. Tying the stars to the loom.

Gratitude and Making Change

Published October 1, 2020 by tindertender

If you’re like me, you were trained to be apologetic, to feel small, and to say and do things to keep you feeling that way.

It took a few decades before I put my foot down to this behavior. I will no longer apologize for who I am … yet I will always look for ways to be grateful for, and to, the people in my life who help me on the way.

It is difficult to change (never break) habitual patterns that were taught to us as children and young adults. These are our most formative years, and one reason why the memories of youth stay with us so long … even for those who suffer dementia.

Yet changing habitual patterns is necessary if we wish to change our reality.

As Dr Joe Dispenza states, “Your personal reality is formed by your personality.”

It is important to do things differently if we wish to experience a shift in our personal reality.

Skip the coffee in the morning, have juice instead. Drive a different route to work. Pack a lunch rather than going out. Sit under a tree and eat it, or go to the car and listen to soft music while you eat. After work, go to a hot-springs for a soak rather than going home to sit in front of the television … read a book, or color, or zentangle … get your creative skills going. Change the time you eat, the foods you choose, fast for awhile. If you take sleeping pills, skip them a few days, as much as you can stand … let the mind wander and ‘put up with’ a few sleepless nights … much can be accomplished should we allow our hidden consciousness loose for a time. Much will be revealed … scary things we can then ponder on and work out, lovely things we can grow in mind …

These are only a few ideas, of which I put into practice on a regular basis, not all at once of course, but I choose at least one thing in the day to do differently.

Being predictable can lead to many problems when it comes to our relationships with others, and even more detrimental, with our selves.

If you are having a bad day, consciously make it a point to start creating a list of things you are grateful for … any and all things that come to mind. It will shift your perspective fairly quickly, seriously. It will make it easier to process through whatever got you in a funk in the first place and rather than dwell there, you will be able to move on, into the next idea, thought form, or practice. And don’t just visit the list next time you’re in a funk, create a new list … because this list changes over time.

Mostly, stop apologizing for being you, stop making yourself small, giving away your power to stand tall and strong …

I’m not saying to become agressive, or overpowering … becoming that which has held you down for so long …. I’m suggesting a rising …. to heights originally intended for you … for we.

It is not a chosen few who get to occupy these spaces of strength and personal authority. It is you, it is me, it is we.

Blame

“If you are blaming people, they are holding you captive — and you are never going to change.”

Advice From A Medicine Woman

Published October 1, 2020 by tindertender

“Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.

Heal yourself with mint, with neem and eucalyptus.

Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.

Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon.

Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars.

Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.

Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it.

Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead.

Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.

Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember…you are the medicine.” 

Advice from Maria Sabina, Mexican curandera (medicine woman) and poet.

Experts at Reality

Published September 30, 2020 by tindertender

As most of us are busy trying to create a reality for ourselves that is healthy, happy and whole, there are others working against us.

You see, their goal is to manipulate the reality of everyone around them … in this way, they manipulate their own.

Two kinds of players …

The honest, who keep to themselves,

And the greedy, who get a kick out of disrupting the lives of others. This gives them a sense of power … and it may even be rewarded by those higher up in the game, doing the same.

The question is …

Are we aware of this fact? Or are we being pulled here and there, at the whim of another, or others.

It is easy to tell ourself we will not be manipulated, but are we telling ourself the truth? How can this be truth when we cannot see the bigger picture? The game … the hoopla … the hoops we continuously jump through at the guidance of others?

Reality …. it’s tough, especially when we cannot see it.

I did not watch the debate more than 15 minutes last night. Two grown men, calling each other liars …. like arguing children. And people are caught up in it as if it is the most important thing in this world.

Who is creating reality? Arguing children, or you?

It’s plain to see should one step back and simply observe without getting emotionally entangled. It takes practice … and time is short.

Stepping back now would be the wise thing to do.

Stop the drink, the drug, the mind altering substances which inhibit clear thinking.

Unless of course you enjoy being played ….

Then by all miens, continue.

Realities are being designed, right now. The one you buy in to will be yours for some time.

Choose wisely.

I say these things for my benefit, as much as yours.

What you choose now will be your reality for years to come.

Step away from the players, be the Creator.

Matriarchy Rising

Published September 29, 2020 by tindertender

THE WOMEN WILL LEAD THE HEALING ~

“The elders say the women will lead the healing among the nations.
We need to especially pray for our women and ask the Creator to bless them and give them strength. Inside them are powers of Love, and strength given by Moon (Meztli) and Earth.

When everyone else gives up, it is women who sing songs of strength, she is the backbone of the people.

So, to our women we say… Sing your songs of strength… pray for your special powers…keep our people strong… be respectful… gentle and modest.

Great one ~ Bless our women ~ Make them strong today”

The Mind

Published September 29, 2020 by tindertender

I can be sitting here minding my own business and something will happen to make me think “you should be careful of what you say” … “you should not say that” … “you have no idea what is going to happen to you” ….. or some such chatter.

And I think … are these really MY thoughts, or an impersonator, or imposter, trying to implant suggestions which cause paranoia, or fear of retribution, simply for being me?

So I kick back, usually rebel, and think more of the same … at first. Then I listen to what I am saying. Is it beneficial to me? Am I just chattering away to hear my self talk? Do I ever think before I speak? Who is listening … really?

Surely by now all of us are aware there is always someone listening, even if they are invisible. No thing goes unnoticed, no thing is hidden.

The question is, if these ones are sitting in a seat of judgement, without the unobstructed introduction of self and status, or authority, should any of it be taken seriously? Any instilled sense of doubt?

I’m currently of the mind that if it doesn’t go against my own moral code, then no … however, perceptions change, and so does that code, so being open to new ways of thinking is critical for growth …

Even if the listeners are still only just invisible.

Call them angels … demons … aliens … or the more common (I believe) psychics …. having been around for millennia, secretly ruling the world from behind veils … which are now lifting for a better view … for them … and for we.

Perhaps I am not the only one who has wondered these things.

Maybe you too have been receiving visitors in astral land, what some still call ‘dream time’.

Being as conscious in the subconscious and unconscious as we are during the waking states is difficult … or is it really any different, given the many distractions we are constantly chasing around?

Oh the mind … a crazy, crazy thing so few know much about … even the so-called professionals.

How often are our actions intentionally drawn up, and coordinated? How often are we willy-nilly flipping through the channels of life until we land on something interesting, a distraction for a time?

Sounds like a dream.

Even while awake.

Here for a moment, and in an entirely different place in the next. If not physically, then inside the mind.

Queen of “Jiffra Matter”

Published September 29, 2020 by tindertender

She looked fabulous with her long wavy hair, dressed in skin tight pants, she looks lovely in black.

She hangs out in dark places, with people who do the same. I asked if I could join them awhile.

Upon exiting the “bar” to go to the next, we found my car had been smashed into … a complete wreck. Upon closer look, I mentioned it wasn’t even my car, but she took the keys and started what was left of the motor …. hahaha, anyone with skills can do that … it wasn’t my car.

As we walked along, to the next bar, she recorded me a message … to eat a lot of jiffra matter and produce lots of shit.

She had a great accent, perfect hair, a nice body …. no one would ever guess she is the Queen of Shit.

Hanginging out in shitty places where shitty things happen, instructing people on how to behave in shitty manners and even on how to go about producing shitty fecal matter!

I had no idea the Queen of Shit would be so glamorous.

I wonder why she chose to hang out with me.

Could it be she thinks of me as shit?

Well, no thank you beautiful lady.

I’m changing my diet.

You’ll have to collect shit somewhere else.

Tomorrow after work I think I’ll take her someplace a little more my style … where the light shines brightly, the fresh breezes blow, and the only shit around is that which people actually pick up that their favorite four legged companions drop … the canine.

I will smile from ear to ear as I imagine her walking by my side, in shock at the brightness and purity of it.

Perhaps I’ll offer her some of an orange I’ll bring along to snack on.

Update: I had the perfect avocado and roma tomato on plant based pita chips followed by a purple plum and a bit of lemon ginger kombucha for lunch. Yum, and I still feel all light and fluffy!! Hahahaha.

Still might do the orange snack later …
