I Live in Heaven on Earth
Published December 29, 2022 by tindertenderI am not merely speaking of the geography of where I live, though it is smashingly beautiful
I live in Heaven on Earth because that is what my heart wants and has always wanted, and that is where it has always been.
It’s not that I don’t see the shadows or haven’t played in them, I see them, I use them to reflect and refract to assist my channel of light in becoming even more radiant.
I designed it that way.
I live in Heaven on Earth, every moment of every day.
Every smiling face that looks back at me contains it.
Every blade of grass, every sparkle on every leaf on every tree, the animals, the humans, all of nature, the rocks, the ocean, the mountains – all of consciousness contains Heaven on Earth.
I didn’t always know that I lived in Heaven on Earth, sometimes I forgot how to focus as I walked through my own tunnels of darkness.
But the Light, it was always there, the Light at the end of the tunnel, beckoning me, reminding me.
I live in Heaven on Earth and it really is not a place, it is a state of being and I love knowing that.
The Seraphim live closest to God, they love to look into God’s face, into the radiant effulgent light.
I imagine myself as one of the Seraphim and I cannot take my eyes off of God.
Him her me she you they us.
We are Heaven on Earth, not because we deserve it, though we do, but because we choose it.
I choose to see it, live in it, grow it, light it up.
I choose Heaven on Earth
As we turn this corner, the end of a year, the end of a cycle, Heaven on Earth is there too, around the corner but also here now.
We are just moving deeper and deeper into her splendor.
The sun the moon the stars the planets the galaxies the universe the multiverse the Om-niverse.
ALL here now in my Heaven on Earth.
And I am grateful as tears pour down my face speaking to the Joy that is bursting from my Heart.
Thank you each and everyone for helping me to choose again, to remember, to know that I can
Live in Heaven on Earth.

Who’s That Lady?!
Published December 29, 2022 by tindertenderFormidable
If you describe something or someone as formidable, you mean that you feel slightly frightened by them because they are “very great, or impressive”.
There’s talk going around about a worthy opponent. Wonder who she is? 😊
Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)
Beautiful lady, lady, yeah (who’s that lady?)
Lovely lady (who’s that lady?)
Real fine lady (who’s that lady?)
Hear me callin’ out to you
‘Cause that’s all that I can do
Your eyes tell me to pursue
But you say, “Look, yeah, but don’t touch, baby”
No, no, no, don’t touch
Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)
Sexy lady, oh (who’s that lady?)
Beautiful lady (who’s that lady?)
Real fine lady (who’s that lady?)
I would dance upon a string
Any gifts she’d wanna bring
I would give her anything
If she would just do what I say
Come around my way, baby
Shine my way
Who’s that lady? (Who’s that lady?)
Beautiful lady, lady, lady (who’s that lady?)
Lovely lady (who’s that lady?)
Real, real fine lady (who’s that lady?)
I would love to take her home
But her heart is made of stone
Gotta keep on keepin’ on
If I don’t, she’ll do me wrong
She’ll do me wrong, yeah

Divine Union
Published December 29, 2022 by tindertenderIt’s extremely rare to see two people in a relationship for the pure expansion of human consciousness, but when you do, the magnetic energy they emanate is nothing short of holy.
Most people use relationships as coping mechanisms.
They haven’t grieved something from their past and instead of confronting their inner world they grasp outwards, sometimes clinging to whatever object their hands find.
Anytime a relationship (or friendship) is used as a form of escapism, it slows down your path and eventually causes chaos in your field.
Holy relationships, or friendships, emerge through radical self honesty.
When two people are willing to not only open their hearts to one another, but to source itself, the connection becomes a transmission for elevated consciousness to enter through.
This creates a prism effect, where the light their fields emit cascades farther into the collective.
Connection has the potential to unroot human consciousness from the medieval/dark ages of consciousness, bringing it closer to an age of divinity.
Often, people go into relationships by way of hiding themselves, pretending to be that which they are not.
This produces a subtle tension throughout the relationship that resorts in blame/shame tactics which turn a once romantic connection into a battle with the “enemy”.
The ego subconsciously wants an enemy to cast its shadow upon.
This way the ego doesn’t have to take responsibility for its own path.
The incapacity to take responsibility for the path you walk is a mode of living in denial.
In a holy connection, both parties take full responsibility for their shortcomings and calmly grow into healthier states of consciousness.
Relationships, friendships, can be one of the most powerful catalysts for metaphysical growth, so long as both people are willing to look at themselves.
When I see two people who are raw and vulnerable with one another, who are unafraid to delve into their shadows without casting blame or shame onto each other during this fragile yet powerful process, I see incredible potential for humanity.
Taking vs Receiving
Published December 28, 2022 by tindertenderBy Maryamhasnaa
There is a big difference between taking and receiving. Takers have no desire to reciprocate and operate from lack and entitlement. They will never feel they have enough. But receiving is an art. It comes from trusting that you will be blessed, taken care of and provided for.
Takers know how to recognize those who are naturally generous and know the right language to use to get you to pour into them selflessly. Your alarm bells won’t necessarily go off because you love to share yourself, your energy and your resources. You may not even see a problem.
Energy doesn’t lie, even from a distance
Published December 28, 2022 by tindertenderThought forms, especially coupled with the vibration of the voice, energy, travels freely to that which is thought of. It can literally connect with that in this universe, affecting changes.
Why is it so difficult for people to believe that when they are cussing someone, spewing vile words and toxic energies with thought intention specific to a person…. they are clueless that we pick up on it.
Their faces pop into mind. Their violator energies hit the solar plexus. And their thoughts are like poisonous barbs in consciousness.
Then they wonder why we stop reaching out, or allowing them even the tiniest fraction of connection.
Abuse is abuse.
Even if you think your abuse is private.
Study energy.
Wizards and magicians utilize this knowledge and ability purposefully to affect change.
The average dote does it unintentially, causing chaos in the collective vibratory scene, contributing to suffering, rather than skillfully creating beneficial change.
I’m truly sickened by those who care not to be responsible with their words, energies, and overall contribution of chaos … and they self-righteously claim no responsibility for our circumstance.
I have decided. And I’m starting now. No longer will I hold space for ignorant chaos makers who lack integrity or any inkling of how to manage themselves in a good way.
I’m done with eating blame for others misery. Their refusal to do the shadow work necessary to bring healing is not mine to bear.
Love doesn’t necessarily heal, if the other despises the love you give.
I sometimes feel that those stuck in victimhood only feel worse and hate you more when you show kindness, compassion and love. It’s so far from their personal mindset it only reminds them what shitty people they are. And so they gaslight, once again saying you’re a horrible person, when all along, the horrible stuff resides in them.
It becomes even more clear when little to no communication has happened in 20 years, yet they still wish to see you suffer … because they are suffering, after all this time, still stuck in the proverbial well, having put forth no effort to crawl out, simply standing there telling the world what hell it is.
Irresponsible spiritual waifs.
And The Great Mother Said …
Published December 27, 2022 by tindertenderCome my child and give me all that you are.
I am not afraid of your strength and darkness,
of your fear and pain.
Give me your tears.
They will be my rushing rivers and roaring oceans.
Give me your rage.
It will erupt into my molten volcanoes and rolling thunder.
Give me your tired spirit. I will lay it to rest in my soft meadows. Give me your hopes and dreams.
I will plant a field of sunflowers and arch rainbows in the sky.
You are not too much for me.
My arms and heart welcome your true fullness.
There is room in my world for all of you, all that you are.
I will cradle you in the boughs of my ancient redwoods and the valleys of my gentle rolling hills.
My soft winds will sing you lullabies and soothe your burdened heart.
Release your deep pain.
You are not alone and you have never been alone.
~ Linda Reuther, “Homecoming”

Send, Receive, Move On
Published December 26, 2022 by tindertenderSeek what feels true, even beyond the logical. If something doesn’t feel right, challenge it and dig deeper. Educate and inform yourself on matters of importance to you. Trust that your mind is strong and bright enough to do this. Enhance your self-esteem by searching for information and trusting your intuition to help you discern what is useful and true. Have faith in your mental abilities. If others have criticized you or made you feel inadequate in understanding, cast that off as belonging to the past and not relevant to you now. You will become immune to manipulation by others who may be convincing but not necessarily accurate or helpful. Trust the power of your mind to receive and recognize the answers you need. You will find your way. There is always new knowledge beyond existing boundaries of thought.
Though you yearn for peace, you recognize that, without truth, genuine peace can never be. Even if it triggers an upheaval of transformation, the need to set things right is strong with you. This is the inner drive of the Spiritual Warrior. Trust, see and feel the positive impact that you are making in the world. You are relentless, and the Divine is within you.
Make peace and let go of past issues around being abandoned or not understood or of feeling unsupported, as those experiences need no longer color your worldview. Trust that you belong here and that your connection to the Earth Goddess will support you in all ways. You are sensitive, and rightly so. Never judge your sensitivity or feel that you are overreacting. But, also allow nature to calm and soothe you, so that you can focus on accomplishing your soul mission. If you feel that you are on your own when you would like some help, allow the Divine Mother to be your friend and guide, whilst trusting that more allies will arrive at the right moment. The Earth Mother has her own sense of timing, and you are not forgotten. You are just growing according to her wisdom and grace. Have faith in yourself, and in her.

Meditate!
Published December 26, 2022 by tindertenderYet some will say meditation is harmful & yoga is evil. This world lacks basic understanding of the very spirit (soul) that keeps them alive.
Ravenwolf
Published December 26, 2022 by tindertenderAll the men who chase her say they are attracted to her fire.
Until they realize that she’ll burn them too, if they’re not respectful of who she is.
They’re full of ego and bravado, claiming they can’t wait to tame her-
Until they realize she’s a strong woman who won’t be tamed.
She just wants someone to run beside her.
She spots those would be suitors just as soon as they arrive, knowing they have no idea what she is all about.
She’ll never settle, make do or be okay being treated as an option.
She knows her worth, for she’s paid the price to learn who she is and what she is made of.
And it’s that same strength and fiery spirit that draws men in … and burns them down as they try to control her.
And so she continues to live her best life.
Happy to keep bettering herself, growing and making the most of her days and nights.
She doesn’t need anyone to fix her, save her or complete her.
Just walk beside her, accept her and love her.
She’s content to be alone until one comes along worthy of her love.
Because she’s not lonely.
Her life is full of love, light and beautiful moments.
No man will ever change that, for the right one will only amplify the most gorgeous parts of her life and her soul.
So, she’ll keep smiling and laughing quietly to herself as would be heroes pursue her relentlessly,
Only to discover they can’t handle her fire.
After all, she’ll never be easy, shallow or superficial.
Give her deep conversations, passionate love, and honest truths instead of temporary satisfaction.
She’s done everything else simpler and easier and those shallow pursuits never made her happy.
She needs more.
She deserves more.
And until she finds one who deserves her, she’ll keep burning brightly and living loudly.
And I know this to be true…
Because she is me.
