The Squirrel with The Apple

Hello all you lovely souls being human!

How is everyone doing? I’d love to hear from you in the comments about what you are needing, thinking and feeling. Y’all are really quiet when I post truthy stuff - but I know most of you keep reading anyway, and I’ve deleted everyone I feel led to - for now.

I know these times are a challenge and sometimes it can be overwhelming to look under the hood at how the past is shaping the present - even if doing so is intended (by me) to help us be bold in our discernment to choose what we assent and consent to as well as how we invest in co-creating beauty, wonder and heaven on earth within ourselves and where we have influence, beyond the attempts at manipulation. I get how overwhelming it can be, because I was just listening to my spouse read aloud about Bernays - nephew of Siggi - Sigmund Freud that is, and I had to ask my husband to stop reading aloud so I could process after hearing his resume and who's who that he has worked with and influenced. So I’m guess that all the seeds and seed bombs I drop maybe feel like that to you?

I would love your feedback. In the mean time I want to share a squirrel video that made my heart smile with delight, and then a few insights on Pele, feminine rage, and the power of Kwan Yin’s compassion.

First the squirrel. I threw the apple out earlier this morning while the snow was coming down, and thought, when it landed on the deck, “damn, I’ll have to go out later and get it before I let Rin out.” Rin is a nickname for Adrian, our mostly pittbull. Rin likes the squirrels. Once a squirrel talked back to her as she tried to lurch for it, and she stopped. As I watched the squirrel in the video, Rin was right there, desperately wanting to follow her initial instinct, yet she was receptive to being settling down to let the squirrel chomp the apples in bliss. Like Thich Nat Hanh and his story of the mouse and the cat in The Coconut Monk, perhaps Rin and the Squirrel can learn to live in peace, and human beings as well. It is my true belief we can, and that we have been programmed to go to war, when, without Bernays and others along those lines’ influence, we would not want to, nor wish to send anyone’s son or daughter when we could find other ways to meet our own and one another’s needs respectfully and with joy and celebration for the harmony we can create without overriding the sovereignty of others, individually or communities, tribes, nations and expressions.

I also believe it’s in focusing on what we want to create that we move beyond reactivity.

Creation has the same letters as reaction.

If we come to pause and reflect, we can move beyond reaction

To find traction

To center

To create

Yet to create

We need to have a clear space that isn’t cluttered by old creations or reactions.

We need to have that Love that is empowered and discerning so that our creative fuel isn’t used hijacked to build someone else’s creations - creations like those designed by the world’s current manipulators (I won’t call them controllers because that gives them too much power - power they only have if we give them.”

What can I do to help - to support you so that together we can do our parts on this mission to create a world where all are free, where innocence thrives, where people live in harmony with one another and the land and in alignment with Source and with the divine within themselves and within in all?

I want to see all beings thrive in harmony and peace, whilst being free. If that’s not you, you probably would have unsubscribed by now unless you are a bot or you’re keeping an eye on me because you don’t want to see that kind of world happen.

I want see a world where the power of love overcomes to the love of power. And I believe for that to happen, people who are rooted in love need to claim their power back.

And I also believe there are those who currently have power, who very much need to remember that they are loved. That LOVE is the Source of them. And that it isn’t too late to use their power to undo the very systems they may have co-created.

Would affirmations be more helpful than truthy posts for a while?

What kind of support do you need to claim your power back in love?

What kind of support do you need to remember that you are loved and that the Source of you is LOVE?

Here is the squirrel video:

I happened to peer outside and see the happiest little fluffy friend up our big tree, looking straight at me with friendly, appreciative eyes. I would feel him saying Thank You as he chomped joyously in the snow, not minding one bit the flakes landing on his nose and all over his fur.

Something that arose in my consciousness when I was reflecting on Pele today:

Destruction is Creation.

The same volcano that destroys everything in its path is creating new Islands. The energy of Kali Ma and Pele is an aspect of the feminine most feared. In Moana there is a bridge between the rageful aspects of the feminine that has been exploited, robbed and violated to its sacred heart, and the Pele that arises as the goddess of earthly lushness, hosting life upon her body, warming it from within: That bridge is compassion.

Moana witnesses that raging Pele, and walking calmly into her destructiveness, lovingly sings, “I know who you are, as she offers her back her heart.” Yet even when her heart has been stolen, she is still more than the woman thieved of the most sacred things someone could take from her.

Meanwhile, Maui is really a child suffering from feeling worthless, who is using his power in hurtful ways to get attention and appreciation. Where he lacks courage and altruism (until the very end) Moana takes on a mission beyond her original soul agreement. No judgment, not failure had she turned back. But she said YES to doing more than her part because that is who she is - and also because she was given a choice. I’m not gonna say I can’t relate. If you are an authentic lightwkrker, maybe you can too. Moana also graciously welcomes Maui’s assistance when he does come around.

Can you remember who you are?

You are not this rage. It is not your fault.

You are loved. Your Source is Love. You have a purpose. There is a reason you have the gifts you do.

May you and your heart be restored to one another in your full awareness and may it remain awake and alive with your unique magick from Source your whole life, intact and full of love.
