Oneness

Published September 30, 2018 by tindertender

I’ve heard many people say life is the Universe experiencing itself in many forms, but this afternoon I finally got it!

Born into this world to different parents, different schools, different friends (or enemies). Marriages that work, or don’t, that are loving or abusive, with children or not.

Male or female, straight or gay, or both! Different skill sets, languages, and vision. Energies that are hyper connected to the unseen, or muted where focus is on the seen only.

To be abused, or catered to … Being able to observe the obvious, or remain in illusion … or delusion … monetarily focused, or happy with the basics.

To be consciously aware of actions and words and how they affect those in the vicinity, and to choose kindness and care, or anger and hate, or not really caring to associate with the outside world at all.

I actually felt what it must be like to BE all of these things at once. Evolution is speeding up faster and faster as more and more people are born into this ‘time’ construct.

So strange to have heard this said time and again only to really see it for the first time. It never ceases to amaze me how the mind ‘clicks’ when it is good and ready, and not before.

I saw a male who had amphibian like features, he had a very long white beard. I laughed a little, as I certainly was not expecting someone with those features to actually have facial hair.

I said that if the Universe is experiencing itself in all forms of life with many different aspects at the same time, then it also means bearded male too, and those with him.

I’m wondering how many life forms exactly there are in this Universe, and Multiverse. It becomes a little mind boggling to wrap the head around this idea of Creator … Divine Being … experiencing life as so many variables simultaneously.

And then here we are, fighting amongst ourselves in our own country, divided, spouting hateful speech to those we share space with.

I see the sprays overhead which many refuse to acknowledge, and I wonder why the elected officials would poison their own country … what is the true agenda? Do they need to eliminate folks so they can truly create the World Union they desire?

Poisoning the countries lands and waters makes no sense at all.

It’s a shame really, for I do believe the phrase, “Divided we fall”. It shouldn’t be too much longer now.

Choice

Published August 14, 2018 by tindertender

My arms swell with an energy that feels ‘stuck’. I stretch them up over my head, slowly lowering them. There is a release from the hands, it seems as though for a moment they disappear.

I listen to the above tune, sitting quietly. I think on the word ‘beautiful’. It is one of my most favorite words. B-e-a-u-tiful … It describes what we see, smell, taste and feel. So many things are beautiful. I long to see these things and acknowledge them in the world, for if the world truly is a reflection of me, then I long to see beauty in me as well … and so I search for it, I cultivate it in my thoughts and actions, I grow a garden chuck full of it, consciously, purposefully, intentionally.

A peaceful world IS possible. It simply needs to be fostered in the minds of humanity from birth, rather than what we’ve been doing … fostering fight or flight, dominate or be dominated, use or be used. Honesty and integrity must come before immoral, lust filled behaviors, surrounding sex and/or greed of any kind. Goals that include dominance of anyone or anything should never be developed … and will topple.

Look around, remember your own self as an innocent child … before pain was introduced as abuse or neglect. It is real, it was only stripped, and replaced by something else less savory.

School … training … it’s all a farce. It is meant to proliferate more of the same. A total revamp needs be. If people do not find within themselves capacity to flip this around, to reform what they’ve been programmed with and choose another way … it will have to be done for them. Of course, this is a last resort, much better for free will to come in and make these decisions consciously, wholly.

One way or another, these destructive ways will come to an end and life will try again.

Is the choice to be a willing participant in the creation of beauty and grace, or is the choice a flat refusal of releasing that which destroys?

Live by the sword, die by the sword …
Promote hate and fear, die with hate and fear …
Insist on chaos, live with chaos at the end of time …

Love … it wins.
Be a partner to it, or not.
The choice is yours.

Opening To Love and Trust

Published August 8, 2018 by tindertender

In todays world we are taught to close down, to not let anyone in, to hide our deepest desires and hopes and wishes. We are taught that others will harm us if we are not careful, we are trained to live in fear, and/or to be aggressive.

It is important to rid the body of toxins. Physical labor offers an avenue of ‘sweating’ as does the sauna, or sweat lodge. As toxins are released, so are poisonous fears and toxic doubts. Our mind becomes more clear, our intuitive ability more focused, and we are less susceptible to the manipulation of those who would have us remain in chaos.

Whatever you put into your body prepares it for the next life.

This describes the foods eaten, the thoughts entertained, the habits carried, and the attitudes emitted into the world.

See beauty, speak to beauty
See love, speak to love
Where you cannot see these things,
Supply them.
Bravely go forth and change the words
That cause harm, grief or hunger.
Change laws, change limits.

Review concepts, re-mind yourself, re-create a better place to play.
Plant seeds of freedom, liberate the young, show them how to transform the world.

Creation Bank

Religious folks often speak of hell as a place to go should one be an ass while living. The truth is, it is a simple return of the suffering one may have caused during life.

The pain we inflict on others, whether it be physical or emotional, personal or otherwise, is given back to us as we transition from body.

Every person and animal is a beacon of light, and all of us participate in the dimming of, or magnification of it. Each living being met through life will be affected positively or negatively by our actions and words. ALL of it will be returned to us at the time of passing, for none of it belongs to any of them … we give it to them to carry for us while in body.

Choose carefully, heed the repercussion … for this creation is yours to keep always. The return of it will not be given in small doses, as it was doled … it will be placed in the lap all at once, which could make it a screaming hell.

Breathe …

Published June 7, 2018 by tindertender

Am I alive; Do I feel; Am I angry; Am I glad; Am I trying in my best effort to assist life; Am I walking with head buried in proverbial sands; Am I thinking beyond these small surroundings; Do I care for others … perhaps as equally as I care for myself?

If sincere about the desire to have answers to these questions, programmed ‘entertainment’ and exterior ‘noise’ will be shed, eliminated from the daily life and a steady allowance of that connection – the original world wide web – will be established once more. There is far too much feeding of subjects to people. It has become quite normal to eat up whatever television and others behind the scenes want to feed humanity with.

All life has been sharing knowledge for thousands of years through birth, and rebirth. This beautiful system in which we live allows us to grow through life times. Some say we are trapped here, however this is a place of evolution, generation after generation share these lessons we’ve learned. Creation is a constant and we can see plainly what we are capable of. When we look into our history and see the destruction, and the power it was released into the earth with, we must remember that the opposite is just as true. It is waiting for us to decide whether we want to prove to ourselves we are capable of creating beauty, just as intensely or more than we have created destruction.

Hand in hand with the elements and the elementals of this world, a sacred union IS and anything is possible. From the deserts of life, we walk into lush forests. We can see that the arid places can … and are, becoming fruitful. Breathe.

Who Are You?

All people are exactly where they need to be on their personal path. More often than not, this path is not understood until later. Even then, the purpose of these lessons may be elusive, yet after experience it is easy to see the huge affect they have on our life.

There are those who may try to break your will, your spirit. They may do everything they can to douse your flame. They would like you to be subservient, to conclude they have authority. They act as though you haven’t capacity for divine connection, they may even insinuate you are not divine.

In the silence, when you are sitting with your thoughts pondering the meaning of it all, you sense you are not alone … you have never been alone. Some might respond, “But I AM alone!” In a sense, yes ~ in truth, no. Cutting the chaos from life and being in stillness more often, you will come to recognize that the commotion of the world does not reside within you. It is only an echo running circles in your mind.

Do not let the world break you, do not let it rob you of your inner peace, of joy and of the connection you were born with … realms which may not be remembered are open and welcoming.

As the mind spins round and round with the echo of pain and suffering of the world, as it draws you into its mess, remember who you are … a sovereign being, a powerful creator. Whatever you wish to be will be if you set your mind to it. Like walking, or breathing, after a time it will become quite natural, it will occur without thought, it will simply BE.

At night as you lay in bed trying to sleep and thoughts begin to churn in your mind, anxiety rises and the hours tick by, so sleepy you are but it just won’t stop. It will … breathe, long and slow. Roll onto your back and place your hands on your belly. Breathe and feel your stomach rise and fall with the slow inhale, and the slow exhale. With eyes closed point your inner vision to the ceiling, or the stars, and breathe. Two minutes go by, five, perhaps more … things calm down and you may be asleep before you know it.

This is an example of what you are capable of. With focus and clarity, with determined drive, anything is possible.

There is no need to relinquish who you are or to bow down to someone else. You are great! and you have much to offer this world.

Hone your skills of concentration. Notice and refine your senses, feel the connection to the energies surrounding you. This world is so much bigger than what the eyes behold.

Grow.

Earth Wages

Published April 29, 2018 by tindertender

That is what we are raised to earn. We are taught to pay the farmer for food and companies like Nestle for water. We are taught that it is business who gives us what we need to survive and it is we who must earn it. (Of course there is labor, and those who do the work ought to be rewarded for their efforts).

Truth is, the earth provides everything we need to grow food and the clean waters run abundant. Rather than stopping people from growing food in their yards and evicting them from their lands for going off-grid, it ought to be allowed to learn of living in harmony with the planet. Those with plenty should consider drilling wells for those whos water lays under the surface.

Wages of sin

There is enough to go around, but greed and need for power causes lack. Blackened hearts who are given power create sorrow and suffering in this world while they (for a time) reap benefit. While they collect liberal ‘earth wages’, what do you suppose they are collecting outside of the earth, in the land beyond time?

Narrow mindedness prevents a person from seeing the larger picture. They are concerned with the type of car they drive, the size of the house they dwell in, the amount of money in the bank and the power they hold over others. They practice manipulating people, sometimes masses of people into doing what is wanted for an outcome which benefits them, not caring about those who achieve this goal they desire.

Older now, having come from a place of lack into the present where there is enough, I see clearly how people are treated when they have little versus when they are not struggling. I also see those who have more than enough and the way they are coddled and followed by those who wish to catch the crumbs.

The one with the golden load struts about, earning big earth wages. Others follow behind that big bird with desire to advance, hoping they may be tossed a trinket or given blessing by the flesh walker who possesses an illusion of power, they too earn earth wages. Some are completely forgotten, starving in the streets, freezing in the cold and roasting in the heat with no shelter, ignored by the majority, dependent on others generosity to have even a drink of water.

While the dream is chased our inherent connection is forgotten. The suffering of the earth and the waters is not seen, the poisoning of the air we breath is denied, the harming of brothers and sisters is ignored.

Earth wages … is this really what life is about? Power over other humans … is this what you desire? While the rich and powerful may not physically ‘rape’ a person, they are doing the deed in other ways, equally damaging to the structure of life. It is difficult to see, it is even more difficult to ask ones self if they are participating in the destruction. It is hard to ask the tough personal questions … not of others, but of our own heart.

True courage comes in doing so, and effective change which benefits ALL life cannot happen unless people are brave enough to face their own inner demons, tame them, and take control … creating a better environment, a better world, for everyone.

When you look in a mirror, do you see a flawed person? Do you cover your face, pretend to be someone else, keep hidden the real you? Only the lionhearted will bare all, allowing vulnerability to come forth, and learn to stand strong amidst the attack of those who pretend. The ones who are brave enough to be open, who see their flaws and begin the personal alchemy process, will also be the ones who affect great change in this world. The pretenders? They keep illusion alive.

What ‘job’ do you wish to have in this world? To follow illusion and stay in the mode which has been around for centuries? Or break the mold, to stop hiding, to work on creating kindness and compassion … in your own heart, which will then ripple out into the world.

Choice … that beautiful gift we have been given. This is where the power is, and when used consciously, can be a wonderful tool for benefit, or for destruction.
