Human beings are perceivers, but the world that they perceive is an illusion: an illusion created by the description that was told to them from the moment they were born.
So in essence, the world that their reason wants to sustain is the world created by a description and its dogmatic and inviolable rules, which their reason learns to accept and defend.
~ Carlos Castaneda “Tales of Power”
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.

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.
“If you are blaming people, they are holding you captive — and you are never going to change.”
~ Pershlie Ami (Hopi)
“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.
Last night I dreamed of catching worms. All of the ones I caught were too tiny and had to be put back. There was ONE king size worm that was in its very own case-holder, the King Worm, the example of what was keepable.
(Much like the fishermen have guidelines as to the size of fish they can keep, and those that they must throw back for further development).
There was a time I was told (in the astral) that humans are a commodity … this ties in with the worms … stay with me.
Each human either consumes and releases that which is of benefit, or they consume and release that which is detrimental. Sometimes, their thinking is so small, no matter what they consume will not provide enough benefit to the atmosphere, not unless there are hundreds, and thousands of them, and usually the detriment mounts to a degree that is simply not sustainable.
Some try. They really do … even I … To digest that which is harmful, and turn it into something that is beneficial, the energies we create, that we absorb and transmute … if we are studious and determined enough to do so, or even try.
The energy of this world is foul … and unfortunately, it is becoming more and more foul and people feed and spew garbage (foul intent) into the whole.
The purifiers really have their work cut out for them these days, how can anyone possibly keep up?
Even one very large personality, exquisite in their transmuting ability, cannot keep up with thousands of smaller putrifiers.
Hence, it is time to clean house and the smaller minds, those who willfully refuse to be part of the solution, the clean up, must be put back. To dwell in the refuse that is impossible to cleanse by their efforts alone. They will need to feed on it until they themselves become large enough to cleanse their own energies, or be consumed by them.
This is the actual separation taking place.
Those who work diligently to transform negativity, in their own hearts and minds, households and communities … and those who work to tear it all down, without care for the whole.
Earthworms are natural composters.
Earthworms aerate and loosen the soil by digging tunnels up to 7 feet deep, bringing mineral-rich subsoil to the surface with numerous smaller organisms that contribute to the health of the soil.
Earthworms ingest soil and digest the organic matter as they tunnel, producing castings. The castings increase the nutrient level and organic level of the soil.
Are you a beneficial worm? That which transitions the negative into the positive, or are you simply creating shit enough for the whole without cleaning up after yourself?
Choice … we all have it.
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.
We were able to go up and see a Samoan fire crew, they were just ending their 10 hour day.
You could hear them coming through the forest because they were singing the whole time!
Then they performed 2 songs for us!
It was just amazing!
The crew boss said they work like that all day!
And those yellow shirts were literally soaking wet from sweat working up on that mountain! Did not keep them from entertaining and sharing their culture with us!
