Hello Readers!
I posted my blog yesterday, one of my personal favorites to write and definitely one of my foundation beliefs. Today, when I normally posted I felt led to do a little personal update. I know that we have covered some weighty topics so I decided a something a bit more light-hearted would be beneficial. We have a bit more of those weighty blogs to go that I have already written. Yet, it's very important in all of this to keep a light hearted approach and retain a sense of child like wonder. Experiencing A Healing As I mentioned before I had a healing done at the Learning Light Center in Anaheim by a woman named Asif (I do not remember her last name). That healing was amazing! I have noticed that I am very sensitive to energy. The previous healing I'd experienced was in a period just after having surgery to remove my Gallbladder. I could feel everything but I wasn't too sure if that was because I was on pain killers and it was all in my head. This time around I had nothing in my system at all (I'm straight edge and anti-drug. I used to drink but I have no tolerance for it anymore because meditation gives me a better buzz without negative consequences). I could feel this healer literally pulling the darker energy out of my aura. She was standing about a foot away from me near the end. I could feel strings that she was adjusting and then pulling out of my energy field. I have been aware of my immense energy field thanks to a meditation I did to connect with Faeries when I was eighteen. That was when I received my first Oracle...The Faeries Oracle by Brian Froud (my favorite artist). The meditation was written by Jessica Macbeth. Surprisingly, the healer picked up on the Faery energy. The Faeries introduced themselves to her by showing her butterfly wings (my two personal symbols). The photo I shared at the start of this is my little Faery area next to my laptop. The energies of the room insisted I created this little shrine and it brings a huge amount of peace to me as I write. When we were finished, as I was stumbling a bit from the healing (she grounded my energy which is always tough. I usually far more heavy although my energy felt clearer. The Faery's explained that they have been with me always. That they have crowned me and that there is a triangle shaped area around my third eye. They said that I am their queen and that when I take on other peoples negative energies it effects them. I have felt this energetic crown for many years in meditation. I never knew what it was or where it came from. Having that sort of validation really moved my heart. Apparently, I let go a lot of negative energy from my heart chakra. As I have been moving the energy up and out of my lower three chakras I felt a bit of a blockage where I just couldn't let some go so...this healing was perfect. Truly it was an amazing experience and now I know why there are always so many orbs around me. I have also had a couple experiences with the faeries but I will cover that in another blog. Synchronicity The trip to the Learning Light Center was very random. I had promised my mom I would go in April. Yet, I didn't take the time off. A friend at work needed the day off. I didn't even know for certain until the day before that I was going to have Saturday off (the Psychic Fair is the second Saturday of every month). My mom asked me to come down. Strangely, there has been Lady Bugs showing up as signs. First, there was this random Lady Bug in my yard...all by itself. I thought it was a piece of red paper. I bent down and saw it was a Lady Bug. I've always loved Lady Bugs. As a kid I would sit with a stick and watch them crawl over it or my hands for hours. I haven't seen one in the yard since then. Then, on Friday, as I was contemplating going to the Learning Light Center that night a customer came into my work. There was a Lady Bug next to the Cash Register. We are a bit close to the door but the chances of that happening was so low it was amazing. The woman, like me, had a love for all life and took the lady bug outside. I knew that it was meant for me to go to the Learning Light Center. Movie and Book Reviews I started doing movies and book reviews for several reasons. Mostly I wanted to share my favorite books that have been some of the sources for validation for my own internal process of Awakening or Seeking. I have been neglecting these book and movie reviews because I've been so inspired to write on specific topics. Currently I have two months worth of blogs already written. I have many more blogs on specific topics I want to write as the inspiration doesn't seem to be waning but instead waxing (a.k.a. moon reference for growth). As such, I will strive to start posting movie and book reviews every Wednesday. YouTube Videos This is a bit of an announcement and a way to assure I don't back out. I will start making YouTube videos in July on a channel. I am thinking of calling it Mystic Butterfly. At first I will post a video once a week as editing videos will be somewhat new (I have very limited experience). The videos will be on topics that i have already covered in this blog. I'm not sure what structure I will follow. When we were at the Learning Light Center we went for a reading with a Psychic Named Nick. He picked up on on my desire to do this and told me that it will be fantastic. He was a little bitter because, "Some people have all of the luck." I started this blog in response to all of the negative mystic/spiritual information that I found online. There was so much of it that I realized there needed to be a more positive source of information for Seekers. However, this blog reaches very few. Most people, these days, prefer short videos. I was watching Reflections, an Edgar Cacye show on YouTube, with Peter Woodbury. He made a comment that really resonated with me. Where are all of the strong female speakers? Well, I knew right then that was my calling. That it was time that I stop being afraid of being judged and step out. I am not fearful of being judged as I was before I started this Blog. The one strong female voice I feel doing this is relatively negative and offers advice that I do not resonate with at all. Someone does need to step out and be that counterpart. The wider audience is daunting and speaking and having my image on the screen is going to be interesting. A big reason I want to do the YouTube video's are for people like my mother. She can't read very well and she has no time to read blogs. I tell her the essence of what I say in the blogs but it's poorly translated in a broken up phone conversation. In a way, the blogs will be for her and for everyone else. I don't know if I'll enable comments and I don't know if I'll put my personal name to it. I'm a bit indecisive on that point. I will be speaking to my open minded friends about it. Reviewing the Past As I learn more and I begin integrating the spiritual energy that I am in contact with (my own higher self/ soul) I have started to look at my past with new eyes. I may review some of that in this blog with all of you. In particular I'm going back, today, and reviewing the dreams I had a year ago. They were amazing dreams. I didn't understand them at the time but they make more sense to me now. In fact, many of the things I experienced seemed strange to me but I have since found reflections of them in other mystics work and studies. I'm not sure if these people have just studied them or if they have experienced them but it has all clicked recently. Something Nick, the psychic, said was that there would be a fusion. He believed it was between me and my mom. He kind of shook his head as though he wasn't certain of it...I don't think it was my mom he was tuning in with but my Higher Self which as been indicated in dreams. As I do the work with the YouTube video's I'm sure more and more of my essence will come through. Conclusion I've been on a wonderful and beautiful journey since I was eighteen. I think that path has come to a point where it is meant to be shared with a wide audience. I'm going to share a video from the Theosophical Society by William Meader. He makes some excellent points about the stage humanity is in...and the Great Awakening. I remember when The Force Awakens came out. That little teaser..."Have you felt it? There has been an awakening....the Dark and the Light." I felt shocked because the Awakening has been talked about in metaphysics for a bit...but for it to enter the mainstream...wow! Here is the trailer if you don't remember it! (https://youtu.be/erLk59H86ww) Yes, I know some people will go...but that's just fantasy...movies are not related to reality. They are a reflection of reality. They say the west coast is about a decade ahead of the East Coast when it comes to fashions and trends. Hollywood tends to be on the leading edge. Yet, just look at the groups I'm following. Victor Oddo's channel went from a few hundred to 29k. His Awakening Group has grown to over 5,000 and the other group I'm a part of Parallel Realities/Laws of Vibration's is also at 5000. That's a huge Awakening. I can see it on the internet. You can find information on a wide variety of topics that were simply not there before and there are teachers coming out of the wood work. The time is ripe for this Awakening and a lot of souls are ready! Part of this Awakening definitely has a feminine energy. This is the year of Female Movies. In some rolse they are Protagonists and in some they are Villains but mega huge feminine presence when it comes to movies this year. That energy carries deep compassion which we will definitely need in the future (and is the one area where we really need to focus on globally). This is so exciting despite the media proclaiming it is World War III. The media is extremely out of touch with what is really occurring within humanity. These souls that are awakening do not need to go through another war. William Meader called it the Burning Ground...a time before an expansion. In his book 2038 John Van Auken explains that the Kings Tomb in the Great Pyramid shows a period of Great Contraction (Burning Ground) and Expansion in human experience. The good news is hopefully in 21 more years this Burning Ground/Expansion Yoyo will end and the New Age will really kick into gear. Not that it's going to be all honey and light then but it's like the birth pangs of a woman in labor that we are experiencing as a collective at this time. We are experiencing the re-birth of the human race where we examine our social constructs that are not serving the collective and fix them. This includes spiritual thought and I am honored to help in this function. This is a marvelous time to be alive! I hope you enjoy the two videos below... One is Wlliam Meader talking about the Awakening. The video is from 2009 and it's short but really captures the essence of it. Here is the longer video that I watched (). I'm also going to throw in a song by Fly Leaf Called Arise that's been stuck in my head the last few days. I think it fits perfectly and of course as I went to embed it saw that it had been viewed 1,111 times. Anyone who is familiar with the 11:11 phenomenon knows of that synchronicity.

By now you probably noticed the changes in my blog. I wanted to take a moment and explain why they happened and how they happened. I also wanted to share the motivation I have for blogging along with some ideas that form the foundation for my perspective of life and spirituality.
I realize that everything in this blog is my truth. This may be my truth but I encourage you to find your own. Perhaps by gazing upon my experience you will want to make your own spiritual journey towards self enlightenment. I don't deal in absolutes. I won't tell you how to live your life or that my spiritual journey is better than anyone else. I've found a lot of healing after facing trauma's from which some people (and my psychologist) believed they can't heal. I find it funny that in this blog from February 26th I talked about the transformative energy that would last through March 20th 2017, the Spring Equinox (note I thouht the Spring Equinox was the 23rd at the time I wrote the blog but my calendars say it's the 20th). (http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/transformative-energy ) Isn't it interesting synchronicity that I ended up transforming my blog at this time? Why Change The Blog The main reason I updated my blog was because of technical reasons. I realized that the archives on the right side of the blog did not show anything after August 2016. I've been writing the blog for three years now (I deleted my entire blog at one point so everything from 2014 was lost). I realize this website has advertisements. I don't profit off of them. They are how the creators of Weebly allow people to have free blogs. I can't really see paying money for the blog. Advertisements is the best way most people make money sharing media so at the moment I can't really complain. Why Change The Name Since I was updating the look of the blog I decided to update the name. In wondering through the internet I discovered months ago that someone else had a blog titled 'Oh The Humanity.' I don't recall if the blog was made after mine or before mine but I decided that if the opportunity arose I would re-name my blog since it was no longer an original title. The subjects covered in the other blog did not involve spirituality but I was still disappointed to see someone had also used the title. The new name for this blog came from a dream fragment. I don't remember the context but I was contemplating the idea of what I would name a book containing my favorite blog posts. The name that came to mind and the reasoning for it is what I have subsequently used for this blog. Why Use The Term Mystic? I don't like labels. I feel labels group people and help them solidify a personality or identity based on that label. Having a personality...defining yourself as this or that is very unhealthy. In fact, all of the literature and research I have done spiritually argues that dissolving our personality construct (which most people refer to as ego) is necessary for a Spiritual Awakening. You can call this Awakening to being in the Spirit of Christ, Enlightenment, or Awakening to our Higher Self...the specifics are not necessary. The goal is the same...to lessen our personal suffering and bring the light of God/Source into this world. The idea that I could be called a mystic in any way shape or form once bothered me. Let's face it, ever since Yeshua's death people who were mystics died horribly at the hand of others. Either they died following in Yeshua's footsteps or were burnt at the stake for being a witch or warlock. Given that I believe in a past life I died painfully and horribly for defending my personal spiritual beliefs....writing this blog was hard at first. The last thing I want to do is be persecuted for my beliefs. I have not been persecuted by others for my beliefs since writing the blog and it's become a wonderful outlet for me. The definition of a 'mystic' really does capture what my personal 'hobby' has been since I was in my early teens. Here is the definition according to Google: "1. A person who seeks by contemplation and self-surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the deity or the absolute, or believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect." In that case, I can say that I am a mystic. I've owned the fact that the term can be applied to me and it also conveys that the blog is written from a Spiritual view point. Even if I'm doing a Book or Movie Review it's always filtered through my spiritual beliefs in this blog. I can see them from other perspectives but for me much of reality is the song of spirit. That's, of course, because I believe we exist within a Subjective Reality which is a topic I've written about previously that I will revisit in the near future. Why Use The Term Butterfly? Since I was about eight years old and inherited my Aunt Ruthies Butterfly pendant collection I've been crazy about Butterflies. I was into butterflies before the trend's in the late nineties where it started to be plastered onto everything. I didn't mind that and I still don't. When I got my butterfly tattoo at 16 (my parents were there and signed a paper giving permission) very few other people had butterfly tattoos. I don't mind the merchandising or the fact that butterflies have become an extremely popular symbol. I buy a lot of stuff with butterflies on it because I feel it is my personal symbol. The Butterfly has always represented Transformation to me. Even as a young teenager I felt that was my 'Spiritual Idea' (a concept based on Edgar Cacye's work). Since I started working with my dreams as a young teenager I have had an appreciation of the symbolism involving a butterfly. Therefore, Mystic Butterfly might also be interpreted as Spiritual Transformation which is my inner and very personal life work. Why Write a Blog? I first started writing fantasy novels when I was in high school. I completed my first one- Merosis- when I was 16 years old. I used to think Fantasy was the main vehicle I could use to convey spiritual ideas that I had been studying. In my twenties I finished completed writing a Merosis trilogy. I sought to have them published but the realm of Fantasy novels had been slowly dying out during that time. I did have a short science fiction fantasy story called The Huntress set in the world of Merosis published by an E-Zine called Midnight Times. Eerily, my life has reflected the life of the main protagonist in my stories. You always start off writing what you know so naturally the main character was based on me. Writing the books was a very personal psychological inner journey. My taste in what I liked to read changed when I hit my thirties. I read more mystical books. I started off with Zechiriah Stitchins Annunaki books, then branched out to books published by Edgar Cacye's A.R.E. and on to a number of others that you will eventually be able to peruse in a Source Page I'm going to add to my blog website. I also became more interested in watching YouTube video's on Spirituality and Listening to Talk shows that talked about spiritual subjects. Whether Christian, Buddhist or something else I'd give anyone who had a plausible argument a listen. What I found was that almost all of it was negative fear based information or Bliss Bunnies (a term originally coined by Jamie Sams) who had no idea what they were talking about...but it felt good man! I saw information provided in a way that could do more harm than good. I began this blog as a way to change that and give people a different paradigm to look through. I love looking at life through different perspectives. I think this is very healthy and anyone working on the positive side to help illuminate other peoples minds is very much needed in the very dark world we live in. An Inclusive Approach In a previous blog I wrote about the idea of Inclusive vs. Exclusive point of view. This rambles a bit but here it is: http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/inclusive-vs-exclusive. At the time I was very much into the Shift which I no longer think is all that important. That is an entirely different subject I wrote about in the same period of time that I wrote that blog. The important thing is that this point of view of being Inclusive regarding spiritual beliefs is different from what the majority of society has held. The other day I was talking about seeing the X-Men movie Logan while I was at work. A gentleman overheard the conversation and tried to verbally attack the movie X-Men Apocalypse. He was fishing to see if I was upset by anything in that movie and I commented that I didn't think it was the best but it was as good movie. He was disappointed and went on to lecture me. He did not like that the character Apocalypse saying that he was, "Elohem, Yahweh...Ra, etc." The customer said he didn't care that the old Egyptian God name of Ra had been invoked but how dare they use a name for God found in the Bible- Elohem. That was blasphemy, he declared to me, and he believes in Jesus Christ. I smiled at him indulgently. Eventually he left commenting that, "He must be old," as the reason why I didn't see a problem with the context of that movie. Later, I was happy to observe that I hadn't heard anyone say the word Blasphemy in a very long time. I didn't mind that he had his own opinion, it in no way affected mine, and I was going to tell him I know a lot about the word Elohem. I did not want to start an argument. Instead I just smiled and said I understood that it could cause discomfort. Elohem has been a hot button topic in the metaphysical realms for awhile as some suggest the Sumerian Annunaki were the Elohem. Some believe the Annunaki were aliens that came down and engineered humanity (much like the movie Prometheus). Strangely, Elohem is plural...meaning more than one being. The mere fact he focused on that word and not Yehovah surprised me but maybe he wasn't as familiar with the connection between the name Yehovah and the Christian God. Of course, I was fine with the charterer in Apocalypse stating those were his prior names as a part of the X-Men movie. I see Source, or what Christians call the Trinity, in the Hindu concept Brahman and Atman. I see it in the Egyptian Amun, Ra, and Ptah. I see that same concept in the Hopi concept of Tawa, Masauwu and the Spider Woman. I see it in the Dogon concept of Ama or the Sumerian creation story of Anu, Enki and Enlil. Call the Trinity or Source by any name you wish...it's the same Source/God/All-That-IS. Just as I am the same person whether you call me Bridget, B, Bird, Bridge to the T, Bridgey Korns, etc. A name is just a name and in a realm made of energy, who cares? In fact, I really don't care about the hundreds of different names for the species of frogs that exist...because to me they are still just frogs. Perhaps, it's because Apocalypse is an alien and he's mortal that the many said it was Blasphemy. Well, there is an entirely different concept called Oneness. That we are all reflections of the divine and One with Source. This is a difficultl abstract lesson I've learned but have yet to write down in a blog. Yet, I will say, that in a way we are all Yehovah, we are all Elohem, we are all reflections of the God's that have ever been named. Why can't all spiritual beliefs be based on the same truth just stated and interpreted in different ways? Maybe, they distorted what they have perceived and caused harm but that is most likely by accident (hence the saying the road to hell is paved with good intentions). Why can't commonly recurring symbols mean the same thing, at their basic level, from one culture to the next? This approach is that of harmony...of brotherhood and of "Loving your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). I don't see Jesus (Yeshua) as growing up in a cultural vacuum. He had access to Buddhist monks, Greek mythology, Roman mythology and Hindu Yogis. India is not that far from Israel and there were plenty of traders. Israel was definitely one of the countries that had thriving trade with other nations especially under the rule of the Roman Empire. The Roman Empire, at the time, very tolerant and often correlated regional Gods and Goddess to their own system. Yeshua didn't reject the Samaritan at the well when she asked him questions. Instead he recognized that she had the spiritual necessities to appreciate truth and shared some with her. How can any follower proclaiming to follow Yeshua not be accepting of their neighbors earnest search for Godin whatever format that might take? In many ways when we explore life, when we explore ourselves, we explore a part of Source/God. Subjective Reality I will touch on this for a moment. Through earning my Bachelors Degree in Psychology I made a staggering discovery. The final class I was required to take had an amazing admission. Psychology has discovered that people cannot be categorized into groups or their behavior predicted by their identification. The way people approach a particular life event depends on too many variables to be predictable and is unique to every individual. We know that when the human eyes are mapping our world that there are gaps in what we perceive. Our brain happily fills in those gaps. Here is an article on the subject: https://braindecoder.com/post/up-to-90-of-your-perception-could-be-made-up-purely-by-the-brain-1104633927?utm_source=facebook Life is entirely Subjective to the Individual. We interpret the information we encounter through the uniquely developed filter that we have created based on our personal life experiences. These filters can change but most people tend to stick to the filters they form during their High School years. This erases the possibility of any Absolute Truth ever being applied to every human being. The worlds we perceive on an individual bases is purely unique to each individual. This isn't to say that the truth of Source and the Natural Order does not work within all of those perspectives in a similar way. Instead, while that same 'force' may be interwoven into these individually perceived unique worlds it can be interpreted differently. Not one single person holds all the answers and truth for everyone. This is also why we have to journey within to discover Source for ourselves on an individual level and not through a book, Preachers, Guru, or any other person who tries to hold themselves up as a Spiritual Source or Contact for Source. There is an individual perspective of 'universal truth' and a societal truth that is arrived at through debate/expression of the individuals. This is why Free Speech is so important and it's absolutely wrong to oppress another person based on their beliefs. As long as no one else is harmed in the process each should be able to pursue their own beliefs because not one person knows the filter of another. We can't walk in each others shoes so we can't judge people but we can judge their actions. Paradigm Shifts People who hold onto a particular view, making it very solid, encounter a great deal of dissonance when they meet people of other cultures or belief systems. This is a hard way of living life...judging other peoples worthiness or righteousness by comparing their way of living to your own. In that traditional perspective everything you believe is right and part of your personal identity (Ego). Therefore when something 'outside' threatens that perspective it has to be defended as though the your life itself (or that of the Ego) is at stake. This is where, to me, it is so valuable to look at the Cosmos through as many different perspectives/filters as possible. Whether listening to others life stories, reading books that challenge my point of view, or watching movies that make me think...I grow as a person. The more I learn about how other people see the world the more I learn about myself. When Paradigm Shifts or Epiphanies happen it as though the entire world has moved or we moved a mountain. Yet, the only thing that really shifted was our own perspective of the world. Our vision becomes a little bit more wider...a little bit more lose when it comes to the 'truths' we hold. With practice, paradigm shifts lead to a very fluid responsive state of mind that is flexible when presented with opposition. There is no reason to fight but a great sense of compassion and a desire to understand the other person. I understood why that man said X:Men Apocalypse was Blasphemy. When I was in my teens I held the same point of view that I had learned the few times I interacted with religious people. The old Roman Catholic Point of view was very particular about obliterating anything that threatened their religion. Society considered it acceptable that anyone even slightly threatening their paradigm could be burned at the stake for practicing the 'dark arts.' I know the history. I know he is working with an outdated framework. He knew it too, stating, "Maybe I'm just old." I pitied him then, I admit. Yes, his mind was a rock unable to perceive anything beyond a time worn way of thinking that newer generations just can't conceive. In isolation such thinking may thrive but when you are part of a culturally diverse world it is impossible. Different is not bad (unless it hurts someone physically) but it can cause people who have a very solid 'personality complex' pain. Those types of people can't separate their self-identity from their beliefs. The dissonance as they try to integrate and relate to people with different beliefs they never considered can be acute. Often they lash out in pain when they encounter a point of view they don't understand or they shut down mentally. Dreams A long time ago I set the precedent that if Spirit wishes to communicate with me it must be through dreams. I have always believed that dreams had deep meaning...at least on a psychological level. People such as Psychologist Carl Jung were very much into using dream interpretation to help patients. The basis for all of the Spiritual Truths that I own and integrate into my beliefs come from dreams. Often, I find a verification for a truth that I was first shown in a dream after I have the dream. There is no chance, most of the time, that an outside influence was the source for the inspiration of the information for a dream. I will reference dreams often when talking about concepts that I'm exploring. That's because the exploration of the different subjects are usually connected to or prompted by a dream. I, like most, want some sort of external validation and if there were others who experienced something similar I can take comfort knowing I'm not the only one. Conclusion I'm excited that my Blog changed by chance. I write my blog for numerous reasons. Mostly, my aim is to help others lessen their suffering. I do this through investigating and explaining different paradigms and spiritual ideas. I explore new themes I see in the metaphysical and spiritual communities. I share insights and epiphanies I gain from dreams. I write this blog as as service to other people. I don't do this for profit but for others. Hopefully, if I share this information other people around the world will suffer less as I have learned ways to lessen my suffering. I am not a spiritual leader. I share what I learn from others and I will be adding a Sources page soon. I encourage people not to take what I am saying as their Truth. I ask that everyone investigate and read the material that I have shared and read and come to their own conclusion. My deepest prayer is that the work of the Source/God is reflected through my blog bringing Source/God into others lives so they can work in harmony with Source. With understanding, compassion and harmony we can start working with one another instead of opposing one another all of the time. On my Spiritual Journey I've learned that it's not all about me. Even if I were to reach enlightenment it would be very lonely unless I had companions who were the same. That, as much as anything else, is why I write this blog to share my journey. May all of us reach Enlightenment together, being in this world in the now but not of it and magnifying Source's presence on this planet to the betterment of all. |
