This year I had an entertaining conversation with my husband about whether or not I'm a Christian.
That is a fascinating topic for me. I have no doubt Jesus (by the name of Yeshua and not the Roman name) lived. Yet, I believe he was an ordinary man- merely a teacher and that is a more inclusive belief because it makes peace between the Judeo Christian religions. The belief that he was a wise man and a great teacher is in agree ment with Jewish and Islam traditions. In the Jewish tradition the Messiah is supposed to be a Rabbi. The word Rabbi literally means teacher. Now a lot of the Jewish people didn't accept Yeshua as the Messiah because he didn't fulfill the expectations they had. In Islam Yeshua is accepted as a prophet. When it comes to Yeshua the only thing they don't believe is the idea that he's the 'only begotten son of God' and that only through Jesus can someone contact God. Both concepts- that Jesus is the only Son of God (which is contradicted by Yeshua's words in the bible) and that it's only through worship of Jesus as opposed to God- are Roman concepts. I think it's perfectly logical, considering the fact that Rome was trying to unify the world under one government (an idea always doomed to fail) that they went about crafting the Dogma of Christianity that they would set Jesus up in this way. First, they were going from worshipping a Pantheon of Star Gods (literally the planets we can see with the naked eye) to a single God so they crafted a teaching to indicate Jesus wasn't just the latest son of Zeus. Second, they wanted to control people through the church which would unify the people further. After all, it was the first case of brainwashing to control the populace. So, they couldn't let people worship at home or tolerate a form of worship the government couldn't control. At the end of the day I can't consider myself Christian. That is a religion crafted entirely by Rome. I have no interest in a religion that doesn't even have Yeshua's name right. Don't even get me started on the meaning of the Title of Christ. Is It Ok To Celebrate Christmas If You're Not Christian? Christmas traditions in the U.S. have hardly anything to do with Christ. I think it's perfectly fine if someone who isn't sticking to the Dogma of the church to celebrate Christmas. The Jehovah witnesses are right that the traditions are all pagan. The traditions celebrate the winter Solstice and are deeply engrained archetypes in the collective consciousness. While the conclusion was to exclude everyone who chooses to enjoy the holiday I think the opposite response is equally valid. Since the traditions speak to archetypes that are reflected in all cultures of humanity it stands to reason that everyone has a valid right to enjoy the traditions without religious trappings. Celebrating consciousness and self-awareness symbolized by surviving the darkest day of the year...is beautiful when placed in context. Conclusion While it's funny to think that I'm not a Christian even though I 100% know Yeshua existed because of past life memories and visions...it is true. Yet, I love Christmas traditions. Although, it is a materialistic holiday pushed and filled with traditions created by consumerism... At the heart of the tradition is Inclusive Generosity. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens really captures the core of the tradition. That perfectly encapsulates both the consumerist approach to the holiday (Scrooge) and the abundance/generosity experienced by those with few attachments to physical materialist (Bob Cratchit).

Practicing gratitude is the easiest way to getting into a positive flow in life.
The spiritual path isn't a guarantee or even a promise of an easier life. Instead, it's a shift in perception where attachment to physical pleasure is diminished leading to less suffering. Yes, that's a very Buddhist statement. The Gratitude of Thanksgiving is my favorite part. I think it's awesome we have a holiday dedicated to gratitude. I focus on the inclusive elements, the glue, of a tradition. Practicing gratitude is not limited to a specific group or religion. Everyone can and should practice gratitude often. A day dedicated to being Thankful is so much more powerful. You tap into the energy in the collective field of all those who have participated in the holiday in years past, currently and in the future. That's a lot of energy that we can tap into! Why I'm Grateful I have so much gratitude for where I am at in life. I'm thankful for my little family. My daughter continues to be a delight even as she throws the usual toddler tantrum. She's my dream come true. I'm thankful for the life that my husband and I built together. We have a comfortable house, good food on the table and good clothes to wear. We really have all that we need. I'm thankful for my parents who are always at the ready to help me no matter what. I can always count on them to have my best interest at heart. I'm grateful for the Freedom of Speech that allows me to share this blog fearlessly. I'm grateful for wonderful spiritual teachers such as Francesca Simeon, Edgar Cacye, Paul Foster Case, and Bashar. I'm thankful for Starseed Youtubers: Victor Oddo, Aaron Dougherty, Jillian from Lune Innate and Ashtara from Starseed Energetics. I've had so many positive synchronicities with them. I'm grateful for learning astrology. Molly McCord, Adama Elenbass and Anastasia The Cosmic Astrologer have taught me so many things! I'm grateful for Sage Goddess. I love that company and all the little things they do for their customers. My rock collection is complete but I'll eventually buy some perfume, amazing rings or more of the stunning candles. I'm thankful for the recent epiphany I had that I no longer feel like I "want to go home". That's a common thing for Starseeds and although I think my soul has been here for a really long time I still had it. I'm grateful we can host my husbands families for Thanksgiving and Christmas...and grateful those are potluck events. I'm grateful that I live in a country where I have Free Speech and Freedom Of Religion. I'm grateful for the people who live in the United States. We have some of the most innovative and rule abiding citizens in the world. I'm grateful for all the setbacks, the trials and the tribulations I've faced because they've forced me to grow into a better version of myself. I'm grateful for my successes. I've achieved everything I've ever put my mind to....not in a tremendous fashion like a lottery winner but enough to feel fulfilled. Finally, I'm grateful for choosing to step onto the Spiritual Path. I couldn't imagine the level of peace that I now possess. Conclusion I have more reasons to be grateful then I do desires or grievances. This isn't because I'm luckier than others. I've overcome circumstances that many would have exploited to make others feel guilty. The only difference is my state of mind.
​I saw this movie on the day of the Scorpio New Moon in October 2019. That's significant because there are multiple signs for Scorpio because it is a powerful zodiac archetype.
The symbols for Scorpio are the fish hook (the scorpion's tale), the scorpion, of course and the eagle and finally the phoenix. With that said... Spoiler Free Review I really loved this movie. I think it was made for overseas audience. There was a very strong Japanese Anime feeling to this movie. I love Anime stories so I really enjoyed this movie. The pro The plot was nothing like what the trailers showed. You would think Maleficent slipped back into vengeful ways based on the trailer but that's not this story. I felt this movie had a happier story then the first. I really enjoyed that they didn't waste time reintroducing charecters. All of the actors and charecters are the same from the first movie. Now, the writing, like the first movie could have been a bit tighter. Most of the charecters are shallow but it's based on a fairy tale so that's to be expected. The charecter Duvall and the three fairy's that raised Aurora in the first movie are squeezed into the story. They are there a play key roles but it distracts from the main story. There are a bunch of new charecters. There is a little Hedgehog charecter that seems unneccessary. She drives the plot in parts but feels really unnecessary making the story a bit scattered. There is a new race called the Dark Fae and I would have enjoyed more exploration of that in depth. There was no real connection to the charecters because there was so many other charecters sharing the story they were barely introduced. So, this movie really builds on the last movie but it suffers the same issues of the first with shallow charecters and no chatecter development. Still, I really enjoyed it. *** Spoilers Ahead*** Spiritual Perspective Okay, I don't know what it is with Disney and the Phoenix this year. Captain Marvel was very Phoenix like, X-Men Dark Phoenix obviously had a phoenix theme, Alladdin's Jasmine refers to herself as a Phoenix in her song Speechless and...now here is the fourth movie with a Phoenix. When Maleficent is saved by another of her race she is told they are a descendant of the Phoenix that looks like it's encased in amber. Further, she's told that she is the last descendant of the Phoenix. That she has the Phoenix blood and that's what gives her magical powers that's unmatched by any of the other Dark Fae. The Dark Fae have retreated from the realm of Men just as the elves in Lord Of The Rings. They want to come back and a charecter named Bora wants to use Maleficent and her power to fight and overcome humans so they can return to their homelands. During a pivotal scene Maleficent rises from the ashes and turns into a Black Phoenix. I was blown away. At the end she tells Bora that it's time to come home. That is essentially the Elves of Lord of The Rings returning...or the return of Maguc to the world. In many ways on a spiritual level as people realize and claim their power by working with their Shadows this is exactly what is happening with humanity. At the end, Maleficent is surrounded by her own kind and is no longer alone. She is surrounded by children of her own kind. At long last she has a family. That's why I say this movie has a happier ending then the first. I was taken completely off guard by this movie and ending. As I said, whereas Tolkien shared the story of how magic retreated from the world because humanity was considered unworthy... The Maleficent movies show how humanity is worthy of Magics return because light was found in one human girl. What a profound difference from the usual stories. This is a *hopeful* movie that does not condemn humanity as the first movie did...but shows humanity redeemed. This is the movie I was waiting for without knowing! I'm so disappointed that people are not seeing this movie but I think the audience in the United States is not ready for a happy story. Many in the U.S. are still stuck believing in a dystopian future where in 12 years from now our planet is inhabitable. We can see that in the fact that the movie Joker has been number 1 in the U.S. box office for several weeks. That's not a world I want to create. I'm so grateful the rest of the world is not emulating the U.S. and Maleficent was number 1 in the Global box office on it's opening weekend. Go see this movie. Right now my blog and my YouTube channel are taking a back seat in my life.
I'm super happy and prosperous. I've been busy living life. I keep up my spiritual practice but for the most part it's just a small daily ritual of prayer in the small sacred space I've set up in my closet at the moment. My house is in transition as my husband took on and failed to complete a lot of home impovement projects, I've come to understand and forgive that my husband is hopelessly materialistic. He launches from buying one expensive object to another. He's happiest when he's fixated on a monetary goal that's out of his reach...which is typical in our society. I'll post on my personal epiphanies concerning that perspective and how I can lead a very spiritual fulfilled life while married to someone with such a different focus...as well as why I think that it has to do with karma. Otherwise, I will probably miss blog posts here and there.
If your spiritual buy this album.
I don't usually review music. Yet, this album is so significant I had to take a moment to share my thoughts. I think all of us should take a moment and realize how significant it is that the top alblum on the Billboard charts has a song about Oneness. I mean wow! That's not a simple concept. The very name of the Alblum speaks to the times. This is meant to be an inoculation against Fear. Think about that one. Tool has always been mystical but it's so much more than the fact that James Maynard is deeply spiritual. I saw Tool in concert and the music was such a powerful vibration it literally made me feel so high that I become sick and dizzy. I felt the same way when I visited the Sage Goddess show room. I experience ecstasy pretty easily. The important thing is so many are hearing this message. Here are the lyrics for Pneuma, the song about Oneness, and for the title song. Enjoy Fear Inoculum Immunity long overdue, Contagion, I exhale you, Naive, I opened up to you, Venom and mania, Now Conatgion I exhale you. The deceiver, he says, "You belong to me, You don't wanna breathe the light of others, Fear the light, fear the breath, Fear the others for eternity, But I hear them now, inhale the clarity, Hesr the venom, The venom on what you say. Inoculated. Bless this immunity Bless this immunity Bless this immunity Exhale, expel, Recast my tale, Weave my allegorical elegy Enumerate all that I'm to do, Calculating steps away from you, My own mitosis, Growing through division from mania, (Chorus repeats) Forfeit all control, You poison, you spectacle, Exorcise the spectacle, Exorcise the malady, Exorcise the disparate, Poison for eternity, Purge me and evacuate, The venom and fear that binds me. Your veil now, lift away, I see you runnin, Deceiver chased away, A long time comin, Pneuma (Latin for Spirit) We are spirit bound to this flesh, We go round with one foot nailed down, But bound to reach out beyond this flesh, Become Pneuma We are will and wonder, Bound to recall and remember, We are born of one breathe, one word, We are all one spark, sun becoming Child wake up, Child release the light, Wake up now, Child, wake up, Child, release the light, Wake up now, child. (Spirit X 4) Bound to this flesh, This madk, This dream. Collective Consciousness There are prophecies if humanity returning to Oneness during this generation. The legions of Awakened individuals and a song like this being on the number one alblum in the nation proves it's true. Individuation is not going to go away. A lot of people think we will be like machines through technology joined together with a sort of queen bee hive mind....but that's not the case. That's like the Borg in Star Trek. Would we really want that future? Also, knowing the Kabbalah as I've shared with you...the Light is what Adam Ha' Rishon gave to Malkuth (our realm) too soon leading to the shattering if the vessels of this world and the Kelipot...a sort of Shadow version of the Tree Of Life (this Shadow tree is referred to as the Tree of Duality or the Tree of Knowledge Of Good and Evil). We choose to give up this contrast when we let go of that creative fire. I'll go into that more later. This is one of those things I didn't notice but it came up when I watch one of the few shows I follow.
New Rockstars goes in, breakdowns and assigns meaning to movies. With Marvel they've been right on and directors have taken notice so they are starting to include "Easter Eggs" for fans. As I go further within this synchronicity isn't really for me. Yet, as New Rockstars are saying their focus is to be a nerdy zeitgeist and have their hands on the pulse of he collective consciousness...they noticed. Carnivals are in a lot of movies. (3:45) Toy Story 4 IT 2 Dumbo US Shazam Mary Poppins I have no desire to see any of these movies. I might see IT 2 because the husband really wants to see it...but none of the others even remotely interested me. What Does It Mean? I'm not sure because this isn't for me. Maybe it is the impermanence factor as they mention in the New Rockstars video. Life on Earth is not permanent. The natural order of things is for things to come together and fall apart to create an unceasing amount of variety and unique moments. Yet, we try to solidify and hold onto definitions. So, for those who want to hold onto things as a foundation through personal attachment to materiality... it makes sense. Also, clowns and ventriloquist dummies represent the Shadow. The fear of finding an emptiness within or what is supposed to be humorous being tragic...is a reflection of how most people view themselves. Odd Synchronicity For Me I shared a little bit about the dream with the Green Stone with a hand on it that I had before Christmas. The interesting part that I don't think I shared was the ending. I went into the backyard to explore older societies and ended up in a carnival. In the carnival I got in a bubble like ride and it was shaken a third time and I had to yell that I was in there.. and it stopped. As I shared before, I woke up knowing I had made the wrong choice in the dream and that it was a warning. To see the Carnival theme pop up in this way...right around the time of a decent sized Earthquake in California is super weird. Add to this the Lemurian synchronicity that does very much involve the past the symbolism of this moment is very much like that moment in Decembers Dream. Conclusion Such a weird coincidence for me but it confirms that taking time out from the blog and YouTube videos for me is the best. I normally might have dug into the Lemurian mystery and why the energy if that history is important now. I've let that go realizing the past us not important. Neither is the future because that's only a potential that may be realized. I'm choosing to focus on the Sweetness of the Present moment that I am in which is the best I've ever experienced.
