“When PRIDE arises out of knowledge, that is always a sign that something in one’s KNOWLEDGE is indeed terribly wrong. For when knowledge is truly present, it makes one HUMBLE in a completely natural way.”
~ Rudolf Steiner
Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. Mayfield started asking questions.
“How long have you worked here?”
“I’ve worked here almost since the place opened,”the maid replied.
“What can you tell me about the history of this place?” he asked.
“I don’t think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something.”
With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, “That’s the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan.”
“Who’s Annie?” the doctor asked.
“Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She’d bite and scream and throw her food at people. The doctors and nurses couldn’t even examine her or anything. I’d see them trying with her spitting and scratching at them.
“I was only a few years younger than her myself and I used to think, ‘I sure would hate to be locked up in a cage like that.’ I wanted to help her, but I didn’t have any idea what I could do. I mean, if the doctors and nurses couldn’t help her, what could someone like me do?
“I didn’t know what else to do, so I just baked her some brownies one night after work. The next day I brought them in. I walked carefully to her cage and said, ‘Annie, I baked these brownies just for you. I’ll put them right here on the floor and you can come and get them if you want.’
“Then I got out of there just as fast as I could because I was afraid she might throw them at me. But she didn’t. She actually took the brownies and ate them. After that, she was just a little bit nicer to me when I was around. And sometimes I’d talk to her. Once, I even got her laughing.
One of the nurses noticed this and she told the doctor. They asked me if I’d help them with Annie. I said I would if I could. So that’s how it came about that. Every time they wanted to see Annie or examine her, I went into the cage first and explained and calmed her down and held her hand. This is how they discovered that Annie was almost blind.”
After they’d been working with her for about a year—and it was tough sledding with Annie—the Perkins institute for the Blind opened its doors. They were able to help her and she went on to study and she became a teacher herself.
Annie came back to the Tewksbury Institute to visit, and to see what she could do to help out. At first, the Director didn’t say anything and then he thought about a letter he’d just received. A man had written to him about his daughter. She was absolutely unruly—almost like an animal. She was blind and deaf as well as ‘deranged.’
He was at his wit’s end, but he didn’t want to put her in an asylum. So he wrote the Institute to ask if they knew of anyone who would come to his house and work with his daughter.
And that is how Annie Sullivan became the lifelong companion of Helen Keller.
When Helen Keller received the Nobel Prize, she was asked who had the greatest impact on her life and she said, “Annie Sullivan.”
But Annie said, “No, Helen. The woman who had the greatest influence on both our lives was a floor maid at the Tewksbury Institute.”
Knowledge is often misconstrued as Wisdom.
“A wise person discerns good from bad, right from wrong, appropriate from inappropriate, better from worse, and favorable from unfavorable, as well as many other differences, in a way that foolish people can’t. And that’s a matter of judgment and understanding. But wisdom, when attributed to a person, has to be embodied in action of some sort, or it isn’t genuine. There are, you see, two sides to personal wisdom, a side that involves understanding, and a side that involves doing. One side without the other isn’t wisdom. Good judgment without good action is surely foolish. And the failure can go the other way, too. Good action that doesn’t come from good judgment is just from luck or habit, and not a direct manifestation of wisdom. For true wisdom to be present, thought and action have to mesh … Knowledge without wisdom, just like action without wisdom, can take a person, or an organization, off the rails as quickly as anything.”

Seems the norm in this world is to “challenge” people.
I’ve been called challenger and adversary, with no intention of entering the game.
I’m here for expansion and knowledge, thank you very much.
I want to explain something to those who are in the habit of judging whether someone is “ready” or not for growth, for teachings.
Too many times I’ve heard this in life, about myself.
It happened when I wanted to become mother. My partner told me repeatedly I was not ready, I was not prepared, that I needed to wait. He wasn’t the only masculine who refused to parent with me. Hence, I am 56 and no child of my own.
In my profession, too many times I was told I was not qualified, or had to learn something else before promotion … always ending with advancement never being offered, even after a decade of service.
I wanted to learn piano as a child. My mother refused to spend the $5 a week on lessons. All while going out and partying every weekend, paying abusive babysitters to “watch over” us.
You, who deny teachings and refuse to share knowledge are part of the reason we are in this state. You have chosen not to be of service, you have chosen not to give benefit of doubt, you have chosen not to uplift your fellow human being.
I take this very seriously.
If you refuse to share your teachings because you deem someone unworthy, unfit, not ready, then you effectively take part in stunting their growth, and life potentials.
It is a shame to refuse a brother or sister, eager to learn and grow, when you have the knowledge to facilitate.
See potential in people.
Not lack.
And so what if they don’t absorb or resonate with the teachings. You’re sole purpose is to share the gifts which have been bestowed upon you.
Do not fall into selfishness, or pessimism.
I, Thoth, the Atlantean,
give of my wisdom,
give of my knowledge,
give of my power.
Freely I give to the children of men.
Give that they, too, might have wisdom
to shine through the world from the veil of the night.
Wisdom is power and power is wisdom,
one with each other, perfecting the whole. Be thou not proud, O man, in thy wisdom.
Discourse with the ignorant as well as the wise.
If one comes to thee full of knowledge,
listen and heed, for wisdom is all.
Keep thou not silent when evil is spoken for Truth
like the sunlight shines above all.
He who over-steppeth the Law shall be punished,
for only through Law comes the freedom of men.
Cause thou not fear for fear is a bondage,
a fetter that binds the darkness to men.
Follow thine heart during thy lifetime.
Do thou more than is commanded of thee.
When thou hast gained riches,
follow thou thine heart,
for all these are of no avail if
thine heart be weary.
Diminish thou not the time of
following thine heart.
It is abhorred of the soul.
They that are guided go not astray,
but they that are lost cannot find a straight path.
If thou go among men, make for thyself,
Love, the beginning and end of the heart.
If one cometh unto thee for council,
let him speak freely,
that the thing for which he hath
come to thee may be done.
If he hesitates to open his heart to thee,
it is because thou, the judge, doeth the wrong.
The heat of the sun
Scorches the valley
A new time is at hand
River’s receding
From the edges
Dryness of the land
As the sun highlights
The light white dust
From the bottom
Of a dried up lake
The cloud will rise up
Unfurling edges
A beckoning spirit
Saying when is the time
If its not too late
Color of rage
Color of change
Color of strain
Color of pain
No more restraint
Call in the rain
No more restraint
Call in the rain
This land won’t bear
If it can’t weep
Thousands of hearts
Waking from sleep
Deep in the well
Rises the tide
The time is at hand
No where to hide
Suppressing the passion
Subjective lies
Devices to keep
The truth here denied
It won’t be an option
No time to decide
Together we fall
Together we rise
Saying when is the time
If its not too late
Color of rage
Color of change
Color of strain
Color of pain
No more restraint
Call in the rain
No more restraint
Call in the rain
No more restraint
Call in the rain

“We’re not supposed to be targeting people” he said.
“What’s the name of the cattle?” another asked.
They know, understand, and cannot deny it.
I Am grateful to be in the role of Witness. I Am grateful to relay information to my Higher Self, Higher Knowledge, Guardians, Master Teachers and Guides … and last, but definitely not least, the Man on the Mountain.
Thank you for blessing me with this responsibility. My hope is that I Am doing a good job … succeeding in my role.
“Be careful what you say around her”, they are warned.
In the astral, there are certain aspects of masculinity who’ve been taking privilege’s without permission for some time, doing their ‘whateveres’ … I’ve recently discovered that RED is the color of sexual energy … my quilt is a nice bright red. Who knew I had been sleeping under a “welcome mat“.
“Throughout history, Red has been the color of passion, romance, and sexual energy.”
I pulled that sucker off and charged water with salt, held it up and asked Prime Source Creator to also charge it and assist with its protection qualities and proceeded to sprinkled it around my bed, on my bed on the curtains and everywhere I spend the most time, including all 4 corners of each room and their curtains as well … my sofa and my lounge got a healthy dose … and the living room carpet too …. All the while proclaiming that I AM taking back my Power, that any interference at all was no longer wanted or permitted.”
“Green is the color of the heart chakra, symbolizing love to others, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, transformation, warmth, sharing, sincerity and devotion.”
Thanks be to my current mentor, Ty, @tymajestic, I’m learning about colors, numbers, and psalms and proverbs, even which bible is best for study. I came to a passage in proverbs that really turned me off where a woman was spoken of as ‘property’… and stopped reading. He suggested the king James Version. I will buy it and try again ….
Ty has called the Psalms and Proverbs “The Plan”
In my current situation, which has gone on quite long enough, I am going to switch up the color of my wardrobe, removing colors such as brown, gray, and red, which are the colors lower vibrational entities feel most comfortable with and welcomed by according to my mentor. I will replace these colors with Blues, Greens, brighter Lilac type colors .. anything bright and light.
There are two red walls in my kitchen I need to paint, as well as all four walls of my bedroom which are brown. My intention is to brighten up these areas, to remove the ‘welcome mat’. This could be the perfect winter activity. It’ll be a chore at the very least.
It has been 2 nights since I removed the quilt and applied the salt waters to my most frequented areas of my home. I have not been accosted in any way during the astral, or what many call, dream time. I even slept on my couch for a bit without any negative experience.
Ty has helped me recently by providing Light Readings and advice on colors and my birthdate. Should you be interested, check out his website: http://www.lightwerkerz.com/index.html
His energy is quite bright and cannot be mistaken when he comes in for a ‘looksee’ or a “light hug”. I find his information to be quite eye-opening and am happy to add his knowledge, his teachings, to my meager notebook of my own knowing.
While resting on my couch, eyes closed, a line of type looking much like this one formed before my ‘eyes’. It said, “Thank you for teaching us …”
Let us remember, those we see are not the only ones who hear. Those who see very seldom are able to truly ‘hear’. Let us not discredit either side of life being birthed into a higher arena in these moments … seen and unseen … we are here to help ALL of each other rise into the next dimension … higher and higher my friends.
May it be done graciously.
I dreamed a new song is being sung for the earth. “Someone(s)’ were hacking it into a shorter version. Let us hope the hackers do not succeed, I want to live where the WHOLE song is sung!!!!!
I feel a brightness coming over me, my mind is lifting out of the fog I’ve been immersed in, I feel a separation happening for me, the line is thickening between the new and the old. The old patterns of the living and the new being birthed.
May we begin to hear the whole song, and desire it with our whole heart. It will be bright and glorious, let us keep this vision and song in our heart and mind.
Shed the old.
Do not focus on the autrocities of this world.
Leave them be … to fizzle out in their death throes.
Even when they quake and literally move the earth, be calm and listen to the new song … the new song of rebirth.
