Mother's Day: A Day for All Humanity

     Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world on the second Sunday of May. It is a day to honor our mothers and grandmothers, but I am thinking about all the ways that everyone has a nurturing spirit that should be celebrated and encouraged today - and every day.

    I believe that the Great Divine Spirit is both masculine and feminine: Father-Mother God - and that we were created in that image. If only humanity would recognize and encourage both halves of the whole, I believe there would be peace in the world. 

    The feminine spirit of humanity has been oppressed for millennia. Most men do not want to recognize the feminine, nurturing part of themselves, and women are discouraged from demonstrating their logical, strong, and adventurous side. The resulting imbalance has caused most of the discord, violence, and destruction that has plagued humanity throughout our history. 

    Masculine and feminine energies need each other to be perfectly balanced. Either one in the extreme can be detrimental. It's important to recognize both energies in ourselves so that we can look for ways to balance them. For the most part, the world needs more feminine energy. We can encourage this in ourselves by nurturing anyone or anything in need; caring for those who are sick or oppressed, taking care of children or pets, nurturing the plants and birds in our yards, and all the other ways you can think of. And don't forget to nurture yourself with healthy food and activities. 

    I found this article that nicely expresses the importance of balancing the divine feminine and the divine masculine: The Divine Feminine vs. the Divine Masculine. As the article states: Male energy is direct and projects outward with decisive, positive action; it secures, strengthens, and "has a giving nature." Female energy, on the other hand, is cyclical. It's directed inward, it nurtures and assures, and it "has a receiving nature" (via SacredLightAlchemy.com). Humanity needs both to be whole and complete.

    Humanity has existed far too long as a patriarchal culture. Many want to see a return to the matriarchal society of ancient times when the Great Goddess was worshipped. I think, rather than going back to pre-historic times, humanity must move forward to an egalitarian existence, where all are considered equal, and every aspect of the human soul is respected and loved. 

    The divine feminine and divine masculine are often depicted as Father Sun and Mother Earth. Humanity cannot exist without both parents!

    

The Mystical Month of May

 

                                               

                                                                

2022  -  THE MYSTICAL MONTH OF MAY

May 1, 2022

Significant changes have recently taken place within every person’s Earthly Bodies due to the powerful influxes of Light we have all experienced since the beginning of 2022. Our I AM Presence has assisted each of us in assimilating these changes at a cellular level. Now, we are able to safely receive the incredible waves of Light we will be blessed with throughout what the Company of Heaven refers to as “The Mystical Month of May.”

 

In the Heavenly Realms May is considered a Mystical Month because of all of the special events that occur during May. These events involve Divine Intervention, outer world Celebrations and Celestial Gifts from On High. The Company of Heaven said that this year, following the monumental influx of the Resurrection Flame we have been receiving since the opening of the Equinox Portal on March 20-21, the opportunities we will be blessed with in May will affect us, in positive ways, more profoundly than ever before.

 

May 1st is celebrated throughout the World as Saint Germain’s Ascension Day. Saint Germain is known through all Creation as the “Keeper of the Violet Flame.” Every year on May 1^st, Saint Germain directs his Legions of Violet Flame Archangels to traverse the Planet north, south, east and west blazing in, through and around every particle and wave of Life on Earth the most powerful frequencies of the Violet Flame that Humanity, the Elemental Kingdom and Mother Earth are capable of receiving.

 

This powerful Gift is usually intensified for a 24-hour period. However, this year, because of the need of the hour and the tremendous progress we have all made in our ability to assimilate higher frequencies of Light, this Sacred Fire will build in momentum with every Breath we take for the entire month of May.

 

In order to help us grasp the magnitude of just what this Gift from On High means, our Father-Mother God are reminding us that throughout the whole of Creation the Violet Flame is the most powerful tool available for Transmuting negative energy back into Light.
 

We each have the ability to be an Instrument of God during this Cosmic Moment. Saint Germain has given us an invocation that will allow us to be the Open Door for this amazing Gift of Sacred Fire. If this facet of the Divine Plan resonates in your heart of hearts, please utilize this invocation throughout the Month of May and beyond, following the Guidance of your I AM Presence.

 
Violet Flame Invocation
 

“I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity. As One Voice, One Breath, One Heartbeat, and One Energy, Vibration and Consciousness of Pure Divine Love I invoke the most intensified frequencies of the Violet Flame that Cosmic Law will allow.

 

“Beloved Saint Germain and your Legions of Violet Flame Archangels, I ask that you blaze this Violet Flame with the power and might of a thousand Suns in, through, and around every thought, feeling, word, action, memory and belief that Humanity has ever expressed in any time frame or dimension, both known and unknown, that is reflecting anything less than our Father-Mother God’s Love and the Oneness of ALL Life.

 

“Transmute this energy cause, core, effect, record and memory back into its original perfection and seal it in an invincible Forcefield of God’s Comprehensive Divine Love.

 

“I accept and know that this Activity of Light is being God Victoriously accomplished even as I Call.  And so it is! Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM That I AM.”

 
A Gift From Mother Mary
 

Another wonderful thing that occurs during the Month of May is that Mother Mary opens the doors to her Temple of the Immaculate Heart in the Inner Planes for the entire month. She lovingly invites all of Humanity to visit her in our finer bodies while we sleep at night. In order to take full advantage of this opportunity all we have to do is ask our I AM Presence to take us to Mother Mary’s Temple of the Immaculate Heart when we go to sleep and it will be done.
 

Since we are One with all Life, we have the ability to ask the I AM Presence of every person on Earth to do the same for them by simply affirming, “I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity. What I ask for myself this night, I ask for every person on Earth in perfect alignment with his or her Divine Plan and the highest good for all concerned.”
 

Then, in the timeless and spaceless 5^th-Dimensional frequencies of her Temple of Light, Mother Mary will communicate with each of us individually, and all of us collectively, to determine what assistance she might provide  that will help us to fulfill our greatest need of the hour. 

 

Mother Mary has told us that her most important responsibility is holding the Immaculate Concept for each and every one of us to ultimately fulfill our full Divine Potential as Beloved Sons and Daughters of God. Due to the progress our I AM Presence has made this year in recalibrating our Earthly Bodies into higher frequencies of 5^th-Dimensional Crystalline Solar Light, Mother Mary said she is now able to assist us in ways she could not in the past.

 

Her assistance this month will be unique for each of us individually as well as what she is able to do for us collectively to raise the mass consciousness of Humanity. Mother Mary is encouraging us to pay attention each morning to the thoughts and feelings we have upon awakening. She said it will help for us to ask our I AM Presence to bring back tangible memories of our experiences with her in her Temple of the Immaculate Heart.

 
Acknowledging the Divine Feminine
 

Another event that greatly adds to the Light of the World during the month of May is the Celebration of Mother’s Day which takes place in several countries around the World. Mother’s Day in the USA and Canada will be May 8^th this year. In Mexico Mother’s Day is always on May 10^th and in France Mother’s Day will be celebrated on May 29^th.

 

This year on every Mother’s Day celebrated throughout the World our Mother God and all of the Feminine Aspects of Deity are going to flood the Earth with the highest possible frequencies of God’s Comprehensive Divine Love. The Company of Heaven said this intensified influx of God’s Comprehensive Divine Love will enhance and greatly amplify the tangible results of the Violet Flame that is bathing the Earth for the entire month of May.

 
The Full Moon Eclipse and the Golden Buddha of Enlightenment
 

All of the events in May will enhance the blessings Humanity and the Earth will receive during another influx of Light that blesses the Earth during the Month of May. This event is the known as the Wesak Festival which takes place during the Full Moon in the Sun Cycle of Taurus. This Festival celebrates the Enlightenment of the Buddha and the unveiling of the Golden Buddha of Enlightenment now pulsating in every person’s Heart Flame. This year the Wesak Full Moon will take place on May 15^th-16^th. During that Full Moon, we will also be blessed with a powerful Lunar Eclipse.

 

Enlightenment is a level of Divine Consciousness that allows us to KNOW the true meaning of Christ Consciousness or Unity Consciousness which the masses of Humanity are beginning to realize expresses the very essence of the Oneness of our Father-Mother God. The Beings of Light have revealed that this year during the powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of Wesak, we will each experience through our I AM Presence and our Body Elemental a shift of energy, vibration and consciousness that will begin revealing, in new and profound ways, the Sacred Knowledge now pulsating from the newly unveiled Golden Buddha of Enlightenment in every Heart Flame.
 

We are being told that the first way this shift will begin to reveal itself to us is through a gentler and kinder way of perceiving even the most recalcitrant of our Brothers and Sisters in the Family of Humanity. When we recognize the TRUTH of the Divinity in ALL Life, we open our hearts and minds and experience new ways of thinking and feeling that are infused with Divine Love, Oneness and Reverence for ALL Life.

 

This in turn lifts us into a higher level of Unity Consciousness which allows us to clearly perceive viable solutions for all of the maladies still surfacing around the World to be Healed and Transmuted back into Light. Then, the TRUTH becomes blatantly obvious that we are One and only through cooperation and Reverence for ALL Life will the problems of the day be solved. With this Enlightenment we will realize with great clarity that indeed, “We are the Ones we have been waiting for.”

 
God Bless You,

Unlock the Door!

    I consider myself to be an Omnist, believing that most religions contain some truth, but that none contains the whole truth; the whole truth being unknowable in this physical existence. Unlike many people who claim to be "spiritual but not religious" I do like to attend church for the fellowship and stimulation. I have attended a wide variety of churches in my lifetime, including Methodist, Presbyterian, Unitarian-Universalist, and Unity. In our new Wisconsin home Mark and I have been attending the United Church of Christ which I like for its progressive theology and it's comma logo, which "invites us to believe that God speaks through other people, nature, music, art . . . the Bible, and in so many other ways."

    Today's sermon centered on the story about Jesus entering the locked room where the disciples were sequestered after his crucifixion, and about Thomas not believing they'd seen Jesus until he saw the nail marks in his hands and put his fingers in his side where the sword had pierced him. When he had done this and proclaimed, "My Lord and My God" Jesus said, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed."

    Our pastor spoke about the way so many people are like Thomas, needing physical proof before they can believe something. I have always been comforted by the words, "Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed," because I know people who have actually seen angels, spirit guides, and even Jesus, while I have retained a strong faith in the unseen side of life without having seen any of it myself. Pastor Christie also spoke about the symbolism of the locked room, something I had not thought about before. 

    The locked room can symbolize our minds; our creativity and imagination that so many keep under lock and key because we have not seen proof that anything exists beyond the limits of our senses and the acceptable beliefs of society. Jesus is the divine messenger of Love who can enter our locked minds when we seek spiritual knowledge as did his disciples. Divine Love can then release our creativity, our imagination, and our sense of wonder. 

    With open minds we can understand that Jesus was resurrected to demonstrate that life is eternal and always has been. If life is eternal there must be an infinite universe full of beauty and wonderful experiences beyond the confines of the world we know. Everything that exists began in the imagination. So let's unlock our minds and let our imaginations go wild!

    Astronomers estimate there are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way and about 200 billion trillion stars in the universe. I can't begin to imagine how many planets revolve around all those stars, and how many are hosts to intelligent life. Not to mention the possibility of other universes that might be accessible through black hole portals (Black Holes Are 'Portals to Other Universes,' According to New Quantum Results).

    I know people who say it's silly to wonder about life on other planets when we have to take care of our own Mother Earth. I very much agree that we must take better care of our world, but I also believe that we must use our imagination to create a better world, and imagining a world where everyone lives together in peace and harmony can make us realize the possibilities for humanity. What would a world at peace look like? How would its inhabitants resolve conflict? With millions of worlds, there must be some where the inhabitants exemplify a peaceful life. Perhaps they want to help us and they're just waiting for the earth to become more hospitable so they can make themselves known.

    In addition to other physical worlds, we can imagine multiple dimensions right here in our own world. I know people with clairvoyant vision who have seen some of the nature spirits and other beings who dwell on other planes. I cannot see them myself, but my imagination reminds me that these invisible ones are helping my garden to grow and are doing their best to clean up the mess that we humans are making of God's creation!

    Once we unlock the door of our imagination, there is no limit to what we can discover about our universe and the possibilities for the advancement of the human race. I recommend these few books to jumpstart your imagination: 

    On Angels' Wings by Mariana Stjerna 

    Telos: Revelations of the New Lemuria by Aurelia Louise Jones

    The Real World of Fairies: A First-Person Account by Dora van Gelder

    There are many other wonderful books by authors who are not afraid to cross the boundaries of conventional thought. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments! 

Without Politics

    

    I have avoided any discussion of politics on this blog because politics are divisive and my posts are about building bridges of oneness. Yesterday I received a letter from Donald Trump and my husband, Mark, received a letter from President Biden. Comparing the two letters caused me to think about the divisiveness of politics and how difficult it is for the people of a country to understand one another and build bridges when leaders and media are doing their best to create conflict. 

    I would like to point out some differences in the two letters and leave it to my readers to consider how we can build bridges between parties in the United States, considering the ideas that are being promoted by politicians. 

    My letter from Trump began, "Dear Patriot," whereas Mark's letter from Biden began, "Dear Mark."

    Both letter writers are requesting money to support their respective political parties. Biden says: "If we want to get more meaningful legislation passed that's going to move this country forward, we need a fully funded DNC working to hold and expand our Democratic majorities in this November's midterm elections."

    Trump writes about Biden's failed leadership and how we are "a laughingstock all over the world." He says: "We can't let this happen! The only way to stop Biden is to elect Trump Republican Majorities to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate in November."

    Biden's letter only refers to Republicans once, to point out that they are trying to make it harder for Americans to vote. He never refers to Trump, whereas Trump's letter makes numerous derogatory remarks about Biden and the Democratic party, referring to "Marxist Democrats," "their allies in the Fake News Media," Biden's "Far-Left puppet masters," and "the radical Socialists/Communists who are hell-bent on ruining our country."

    Biden is asking for an investment in the Democratic National Committee. Trump is requesting funds for "Trump Republican Majorities."

    My thought is that we cannot build bridges between the people of our own country if we listen to leaders who use propaganda and name calling to further their goals. 

    By the way, Mark and I are not sending money to either party. We prefer to support the causes and individuals whose goals we believe in.

Pray for Ukraine - Pray for Peace

 

                                        Archangel Michael is considered the patron saint

                                          and spiritual guardian of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv.

                                                              May peace prevail.

    This morning when I woke up to the news of Russia's attacks on Ukraine, I cried tears of anguish, thinking that all hopes and prayers for peace had come to naught. After wallowing in despair for awhile, I was reminded by my online friends that now is not the time to give up hope. 

    War gives us the opportunity to pray harder than ever. It's heartening to see posts popping up from all over the world, demonstrating the solidarity of the world's people of goodwill, all praying for peace. 

    Yes, most of us were praying for peace before today. We were praying that Putin would not attack, and yet he did. Some will now say that prayer is useless. Others realize that prayer is often not answered the way we want it to be, because we cannot see the whole picture. 

    The reasons for war and many and complicated, but the end result is always the same. As someone wise once said: “War does not determine who is right — only who is left.”

    More people than ever before now recognize the futility and evil of war. I am encouraged by the many prayers for peace being lifted up all over the world. Being faced with the evil of war, as we are today, even more people are raising their voices and spirits in prayer, bringing us ever closer to the Era of Peace for which most of us long. 

    Here is one of the prayers I found today, posted by Unity: 

    In this moment of emergency for Ukraine and Russia, we call ourselves to God-consciousness. We speak the word for harmony. We speak the word for order. We recognize no person, situation, or force greater than the power of God, the source of strength, wisdom, and courage.

    And here is a prayer from Marianne Williamson: 

Dear God,
Please send miracles
to the people of Ukraine.
Send angels to minister unto them.
Bring calm and peace to their frightened hearts.
Awaken in Vladimir Putin
the truth of who we are.
Soften his heart and remind him of his soul.
Please God, may there be peace.
Amen

    There are many ways to pray for peace. Choose your way. Let us pray without ceasing until peace prevails.

For the Love of Birds

 

    I don't know anyone who doesn't enjoy watching birds fly overhead or perch on their birdfeeders. Lots of people from all walks of life put out birdfeeders, nesting boxes, and birdbaths to invite these feathered friends into their yards. True, birds can be a nuisance. We all grumble about bird poop on our cars, and I'll never forget the time I started out on a walk, then had to run home and wash bird poop out of my hair. But those are small inconveniences compared to the joy of seeing goldfinches, nuthatches, and woodpeckers feeding from the seeds and suet we put out for them. 

    We can build bridges of oneness with birds, because people from every culture and background love them. Most of us recognize the ways that birds benefit us and the environment. Birds spread seeds, pollinate plants, and control pests. They reduce weeds and fertilize the soil. You can read more about the benefits of birds here: Benefits of Birds. 

    We should all be concerned about the decimation of the bird population. In North America alone, there are about 3 billion fewer birds than there were in 1970. Almost 1,500 bird species are threatened with extinction across the world. Over 100 species have gone extinct in recent centuries.

    There are numerous reasons for the decrease in bird species. One of the biggest reasons is loss of habitat. Habitat loss occurs when land is converted for agriculture, development, resource extraction, and other uses. We can create habitat for birds in our own yards by reducing our lawns and planting the native trees, shrubs, and plants that provide the berries, insects, and pollen that birds need. Bird feeders are great, but birds need other food sources.  Baby birds, especially, require insects and caterpillars for protein and nourishment. Caterpillars: It's What's for Dinner.

    If you use pesticides on your lawn or garden you may be contributing to the demise of birds. First of all, the birds need insects for their diet. And second, some of these chemicals, such as neonicotinoids are toxic to birds as well as to insects.

    Free-roaming cats are responsible for 2.4 billion bird deaths in the United States each year. Please keep your cats indoors to save the birds!

    Learn more here about how to save the birds: American Bird Conservation

    This spring I am going to plant a native serviceberry tree and some native shrubs and plants to help feed the birds. What are your plans for saving the birds?

A New Year, A New Beginning

 

    A new year has begun and people all around the world are wishing one another a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2022. Many are praying for a more peaceful year in which kindness, compassion, and generosity prevail. People are making resolutions to be a better person in the coming year. Some are greedily planning how to oppress others in order to gain more money and power for themselves. I truly believe that the majority are wishing a better life for all of humanity. As more and more people visualize a better world, the sooner it will manifest in reality. 

    

    The most beautiful and hopeful words of welcome for this new year come from the pen of poet Amanda Gorman. 

"New Day's Lyric"

May this be the day

We come together.

Mourning, we come to mend,

Withered, we come to weather,

Torn, we come to tend,

Battered, we come to better.

Tethered by this year of yearning,

We are learning

That though we weren’t ready for this,

We have been readied by it.

Steadily we vow that no matter

How we are weighed down,

We must always pave a way forward.

This hope is our door, our portal.

Even if we never get back to normal,

Someday we can venture beyond it,

To leave the known and take the first steps.

So let us not return to what was normal,

But reach toward what is next.

What was cursed, we will cure.

What was plagued, we will prove pure.

Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree,

Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee,

Where we weren’t aware, we’re now awake;

Those moments we missed

Are now these moments we make,

The moments we meet,

And our hearts, once all together beaten,

Now all together beat.

Come, look up with kindness yet,

For even solace can be sourced from sorrow.

We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday,

But to take on tomorrow.

We heed this old spirit,

In a new day’s lyric,

In our hearts, we hear it:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne.

Be bold, sang Time this year,

Be bold, sang Time,

For when you honor yesterday,

Tomorrow ye will find.

Know what we’ve fought

Need not be forgot nor for none.

It defines us, binds us as one,

Come over, join this day just begun.

For wherever we come together,

We will forever overcome.
