2 Lifetimes ago- 1600’s Renaissance Italy, part two

one of the things that I made back then,
as an absolute beginner,
chain included

(...continued, recorded, April 2, 2015)



Even now as I write this, I am overwhelmed by the feelings of love and passion for this, as I was when I first stepped down into that rough-stone walled, damp basement studio. Going back over the memories of my life has been too challenging for this very reason, as I recall these events, of this life or any of the others I have written about, I feel now as I feel then. I have not as yet developed a writing practice of distancing myself from the emotions that would facilitate writing about events as facts, as an observer, without the emotions showing up as insurmountable walls or chasms to be crossed. But, no matter.

       Yes, it was true that I did not have much inclination to be guided by the teacher, although I did listen politely to the lesson at the beginning of class, and I did ask questions when I had them. Mostly I wanted to be let loose in there, though. I wanted equipment of my own, although that equipment would have been without a home, given the living situation I was in then.



All cut and designed by me :)
*copper and brass*
My favorite, most beloved piece
that I made, all from scratch,
all as an 'absolute beginner'.
I was remembering...
I was being reminded of this life
but I wouldn't know that
for another decade!

       I especially can still feel how it felt when working with the solder. The acetylene torch barely touched the solder and metals being fused together. The solder would rather begin to melt and flow simply because of the peripheral heat of the torch tip, and I controlled this heat by feathering the torch near the point of metals to be joined.  It felt Primal, and I mean “primal” in the ways in which I no longer currently choose to relate to life. Sexual in the way where an uncontrollable, guttural urging swells in the center of the chest and spreads throughout the entire torso, filling one with a ravenous desire to merge, become one with and disappear into the object of desire. Or, be consumed by it.

       It’s the only way I can possibly describe the emotions that the soldering process brought up in me.

       Everything that I did felt familiar to me, cutting, soldering, polishing, etc. I felt no trepidation whatsoever about experimenting or doing something that the instructor said might not work. It always worked. That year, in the annual Member’s Show, a special award was created just for me, “Best Beginner”. That came with $100 gift certificate for some further study with one of the teachers...

2 Lifetimes ago- 1600’s Renaissance Italy, part one

recorded, April 2, 2015

This is one of the “past life” bleed throughs that I have so far found to be the most enjoyable of the experiences I have had so far. Of course these are not bleed throughs in the sense that it was not something that wasn’t meant to happen or has been something undesirable, at least with this one. And I observe that it is in keeping with the pattern I am appearing to have in my incarnations: twice female, then once male, then twice female again, etc.

       This life in Italy was in the early part of the 1600’s. It was the life that followed my lifetime in the area now called “New Mexico”, where I lost my love, where our home was desecrated. In Italy at this time, which I of course would not know until my very late 30’s, was that of a Blacksmith. The experiences that I had, some ten years previous, that reintegrated this aspect of Mine Self into the Wholeness of Being that I have been becoming in this “present” lifetime, were quite empowering, powerful and fun. To this day, I have kept all the metals and tools and still yearn to have my own studio and equipment to play this aspect of My Being. But I am getting a little ahead of this part of the story.

       In February 1999, when I was twenty-six years old, I was hired to work as the box office manager at the Woodstock Guild of Craftsmen on Tinker Street on Woodstock, NY. That position eventually led to performing a number of part time tasks in the main office, one of which was taking care of the student registrations that came in for the classes offered through the Guild. They had a very strong stone carving and pottery programs held at the Byrdcliffe property. There were also equally well-attended jewelry/silversmithing classes held in the basement studio of the Tinker Street complex. Over that year I felt a growing curiosity about those jewelry classes, which evolved into a kind of passionate hunger to participate. By the fall of that year, I had implored a deep employee discount off the tuition, and I was in...

Time Out! We need to talk about *Light Power Imaging* (part 2) + there's Hope to Heal

What is Light Power Imaging? What does a Light Power Imager do?

       Light Power Imaging, according to definition in my training materials, is a negative façade device that can be used by both positive and negative Souls. A Light Power Imager holds up a mirror to reflect the light of others back to them. Simultaneously, the practitioner of this façade technique is pinching-off some of the person's Light Energy for themselves. So, essentially the person's energy that they are reflecting and stealing becomes a part of them. Over time, the practitioner can lose track of their own original identity. Then, they become dependent, feeling that they can not survive without the use of this device. Souls that have been practicing this technique for some time are reluctant to give it up. Most will not.

       "But", the question might be, "What could someone do if they found out they were a Light Power Imager, and maybe at Soul Level they might take up the practice again, and consciously didn't want to do that, and wanted to find out who they truly are without this technique, what could they do? Is there hope?"

       Yes.

At least that's what I was 'getting', the whole reason why I started this post. There is Hope to recover from the addiction to light power imaging.
       First, I have to repeat something that many of you have heard before, that: any prayer made from a sincere and open heart is sure to be heard and answered. That being said, I feel like the hope for anyone who may have been cleared of Light Power Imaging, and is worried that they may, or they're sure that they may have reverted into this practice and doesn't want to- is asking for assistance. Call upon, and give permission to, your Angels, Archangels and Guides, your Family of Light and your Beloved I Am Presence to assist you. Be clear about your Intention for Healing. Assistance does come when we call and give permission. We need to give permission because our free will can not be interfered with, one of the built in safeguards to preserve the integrity of our 3D experience.
       It may sound a bit simplistic, but this is the information that I received about this subject. There is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. I know for myself, even though I was not light-power-imaging when I had my Soul Realignment done, I did have some things going on from my past, and past lives, that upset me- very much. Like: wail, and sob, and very upset at myself (i.e.- "How could I have done such a thing?"). And the healing balm for all of that was: self-forgiveness, self-compassion, the broader context of my existence as an eternal being and what those things that I'd experienced meant in that larger context. And it didn't happen overnight, folks. It took years! Just because I tend to be too hard on myself, too critical. I'm figuring out how to give that up, too!

Offering: 🌠December 2017 Holy Days ✨ Radiant Earth Meditation🌠 {Self-Guided}

I am looking at this big calendar on my desk and feeling especially into the three weeks of the last mercury retrograde period of the year.  I was noticing and taking in the sequencing and flow of the December Holidays this year, the holidays that I know about anyway. The calendar is 17" wide, so I mean it is quite large. I get drawn into the page and start brainstorming activities. It's the calendar that I stood in front of months ago and dreamed up our entire Solar Eclipse road trip adventure. One last page...

       So, I'm looking at these three weeks and feeling-about the many cultural/religious celebrations in December that speak of Miracles and the *Miracle of the Light*. It is probably my favorite time of year. In my astrological birth chart, my Mars is in Leo. I was told once that this means that I am all about the festive celebrations and good energies and parties! That's pretty true once I "get going". I am also a World Citizen and Galactic Human. I just innately love and honor multicultural, multidimensional joy making. We need that.   

       One of my favorite things to say at this time of year is that *we can all plug in to a world wide energy of joy, loving kindness, and the generosity of the material and of the spirit- because somewhere, the miracle of light, in some form, is being celebrated. Folks that I meet in passing to whom I mention this really feel it too. We, as a human family, desire much more for togetherness than that other way. We all incarnated to this Earth School to experience the color and diversity of experience that a Soul is privileged, through the gift of free will, to experience in this place.

   * Check back to this old post from my Church of the Sacred Earth project:
http://sacredearthchurch.blogspot.com/2011/12/being-light-that-heals-earth.html


Obviously, I've been on this trail for a while...

      Now, of course  in this instance, I am referring to Hanukkah and Christmas and Kwaanza. One year, I remember, a Muslim holy day/week was also taking place in December. My point being: Together, not apart. And Energy via human emotion is powerful, as this *energy-via-emotion* is what Creates.

So, together we can celebrate everything that there is to celebrate, including Chocolate Covered Anything Day! This is what changes reality- Joy, play, laughter, celebration. I believe in Us! If you're reading this post, then you are ready to be a channel for Love, Higher Truth and the Light of Creation, insoever as much as you are currently prepared to through your physical life experience. [scroll down to the end for a listing I've compiled of holidays, traditional and ones that will surprise and delight you :)]

       I suggest that this feeling-visualization is best conducted in the your own home area. This is needed and necessary. We Light Beings are stationed at our seemingly humble points around this planet- for a reason. It is important for each one of us to give our powerful Intention to the place in which we are currently living. That's why we are currently living where we are living. You, as a vessel of Light is needed where you are. Never mind the world at large. Start where you live, that includes with the Self. Then, all of these individuated bits of Light, bleed and merge into neighboring Lights, and then the Earth becomes flooded with healing energy. It's like in the times of war before technology, there were a chain of light-keepers whose job it was to light their fire when they saw the neighbor light-keeper's fire blaze. A chain of fires to signal the approach of the enemy. Well, there's no war that we are speaking of and no real enemy, but this is the illustration- that as each one of us "lights our fire", then this flame is seen and inspires the ignition of someone else's flame. This is true even if we are not seeing it with our eyes. Energy just moves.

So, for me, I am beginning with my room, then my apartment, to my deck, out to the lawn and my car, then eventually down the street, to my neighbor's homes and properties. And here's a tip: You can say, "And let this light be for the Highest Good of All." That allows this Intention to be absolutely Harmless, and for only the very best interests of those who feel its Blessing.

       I am guided to suggest conducting this visualization at least once, daily for

 the 3 week period of the Mercury Retrograde/Waning Moon cycle. This cycle contains within it the Miracle of Hanukkah, and then leads us right into Christmas and Kwaanza and New Year's Eve. I feel this period to be an auspicious, powerful time for meditation and reflection on this year of 2017, and all that you/I have experienced. This is an excellent time for redoing, readdressing, reconfiguring emotions and ideas, letting go of the outmoded, finishing up undone projects- cleansing, basically. And Blessing. Then, being informed by one's experience, and having Blessed that Experience, set forth new desires and intentions for Life's experience in the linear calendar year that is unfolding.

a small photo to illustrate the Innate Force by which this
Multicolored Light will move-
like this rainbow at the point where
it meets the force of this Tornado

I also suggest slowing down during this time. I'm saying this certainly for myself in my own world, or at least to be able to be calm in my mind whilst bustling about. If you have learned how to disconnect from the mass consciousness already- good on you! If not, this might be a great time for one to step back from the holiday hustle and get in touch with one's own personal values. In this Mercury Retrograde, Waning Moon, Holy Day cycle, end of calendar-year 2017 I Am Being conscious of going slower, feeling for the voice of my heart and moving and taking time to stretch my body more. "Know thyself" and do what you need to do.

       All right, then, let's get to it!

The Daily Meditation, December 3-23 (or longer!)

On November 4th, in the evening, I was in a meditation, and I saw a multicolored wave of light threads, supple multicolored rods, be released in rolling fog all throughout the earth that lay before me where I stood, and over the horizon. I heard the words, "Radiant Earth Meditation".  What is this light, you may wonder. Feel into it as a multicolored, multidimensional cleansing bath for all Beings, including Gaia Herself. I felt it as a Healing, Wholing Presence. It felt very Gentle, yet Powerful and Pervasive. Its purpose is to restore Integration, to repair what has been fissured in the various energy bodies of the land and her inhabitants.  

       You may sit, stand, lie down on the floor, or even walk as you do this simple meditation. Do what you need to do to honor your Body and your Meditation practice. You can do this anywhere, in a park, the woods, while walking down a busy city street (although pay attention where you're walking!). *Visualization* is portable :)  And, let it Flow. Don't worry for the "details". Make it Yours. That's the Beauty of Being an Individuated Soul in a Collective Consciousness.

How I saw and experienced it was pretty simple, so I offer it to you:

The feeling is of Stillness, of Divine Love, Silence, a good feeling basically, however that is for you. This feeling is  filling your whole body until you feel happy, excited, full. Then, this feeling seamlessly billows forth into the area a couple of feet in front of you. The multicolored light begins to roll, with a Force of Its own, over the earth/space before you and out unto the horizon.

Kind of like, "Bowling with Healing Rainbow Light Fog"

All you do is set the intention, then Intention takes care of

Itself. Play with it. See what happens for you.

Multicultural Holidays in December 2017

This is by no means a comprehensive list of religious, and other celebratory holy days for the month of December,

but I wanted to lay out in a visual just how many cultures are celebrating something special, and how much there is to celebrate in general,  in December. I gleaned this listing from this link:
