“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

I think it is important at this point to give a little more context to why I feel “Great Spirit” has put this series in my spirit.  I have been feeling the need to reflect on what ancient cultures understood about the living relationship between our humanity, nature, Spirit, the sky, and the Earth.  As I am learning, many Indigenous traditions had an intuition that clouds were about more than just the “weather”.  They understood and saw that clouds were living messengers, carriers of memory, ancestors, omens, blessings or communications between realms. 

This resonates with something deep within my soul as a memory.  There is a reason the Indigenous cultures like for instance the Andean culture, the Inca Empire, the Quechua peoples, Aymara peoples and even earlier cultures like the Chavin and Tiwanaku cultures of South America had a relationship to the clouds.  Clouds were sacred living spirits.  Beyond the practical life necessity of providing rain for their agricultural needs, clouds represented fertility, renewal, divine provision and ancestral presence.  Unlike us today, they believed unusual cloud formations reflected imbalance between humans and nature.   There was a need for harmony which they saw as sacred and reciprocal between people and creation.  I think this is an element that is missing in our lives today.

Looking back at the Mesoamerican cultures like the Maya and Aztec people, they interpreted clouds as being sacred because they carried water from the heavens to Earth.  Clouds were seen as symbols of mercy, warning, blessings, and cosmic balance.  They saw everything as interconnected so that clouds could signal seasonal changes, ceremonial timing, agricultural preparation and spiritual transitions. 

These cultures and traditions saw humanity as part of nature, not separate from it.  These traditions were rooted in the understanding that clouds were relational, spiritual, communicative and alive with meaning to take notice of. 

I think the point today is that we have separated ourselves from the real relationship we should have with nature and “Great Spirit”.  We have become too “Civilized”- please take note that I feel the word civilized is an attribute that is rapidly vanishing from the character of what humanity should hold.  My intention today is to bring to light that we need to help ourselves and our humanity recover its sacred sensitivity again. 

Children still operate and possess those sensitivities of -wonder, observation, intuitive connection, symbolic imagination and an emotional relationship with nature.  We need to protect that sensitivity instead of suppressing it.  We would be much healthier adults, and our world would stand a better chance of sustainability if we valued that gift of sensitivity to the divine messages that are being sent our way. 

Remember- “that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Ancient & Cultural Beliefs About Clouds

This first week we look back on our historical relationship with the “Messages from the Clouds”, as well as the significance of the cloud messages on our cultural values and belief systems.

My Clouds Today

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

Looking back at the Greek & Roman Traditions- (Divine Signs)

In Ancient Greece and Rome, the sighting of clouds was often seen as expressions of the “Gods” Will.  Zeus and Jupiter were essentially considered to be the “Supreme Sky Fathers.  They ruled the sky so cloud formations, storms, or unusual patterns were interpretated as messages, warnings, or the presence of the “Gods”. Zeus was described as the “King of Gods” and as ruler of Mount Olympus he was the God of the sky, thunder, lightning, law, justice and order. 

The Greeks saw Zeus as both a force of nature and the guardian of morality and social order.  It is interesting to know that across many ancient traditions sky gods like Zeus and Jupiter symbolized elements of what we are still trying to deal with such as –“Divine Authority”, “Cosmic Order”, “The Power of Nature”, “Protection and Judgment”, “Humanity’s attempt to understand forces greater than themselves”, “And the Acknowledgement of the Balance of the Equality of the Masculine and Famine Energy and Identity”. Priest and observers sometimes read the sky alongside of other omens to interpret the messages. 

There is more to this than meets the eye and delving into this series I find it fascinating to see the tread between mythology, planets, days of the week, which was our last series, and spiritual symbolism.  There are patterns and interlocking significance in what “Spirit” is unfolding to us.  The concepts of expansion, wisdom, law and authority, discernment and insight, and spiritual endowment, are all interwoven in this timely era of seeking truth and feeding our soul’s evolution.

 Remember- “That we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

What is your cloud in the sky telling you today?

What did you see?

What does it remind you of? 

If you feel it was speaking to you, what did it say?  

How can you integrate this experience into the texture and context of your daily life?

Does it offer you an answer to something you have been searching for?

Do you get a sense that you are connected to the “Divine”, as you gaze at those clouds in the sky, and that making a sacred space to be in that Presence is giving you a peace, and filling you with love and compassion?

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.

“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”

Since perhaps the beginning of time, in probably all the cultures around the world, humankind has always had a sense of wonder and curiosity about the formation of clouds.  Lately, I find myself noticing the clouds and feeling a sense that they carry messages from another realm that is trying to communicate with us. 

I remember from my childhood how we would lie down on the grass and look up to the clouds and describe what we thought the clouds were.  My favorite experience was the night the sky was full of clouds that looked like angels and were moving with such grace that we thought the angels were dancing in the sky just to make us happy.  Right now I have been observing some of the most unusually amazing clouds that I have seen in my life.  Sometimes it seems as though I can reach up touch them and hold them in the palms of my hands.

I am going to do a short series on the attributes and messages that I think the clouds are sharing with us to enhance our lives and give us a since of peace.  I want us to look at the phenomenon of how our cultures and personal interpretations of what we see and value in the cloud messages affect our life journey. 

So, I would like each of us to set an intention to take out a moment every day to “Look Up to The Skies and watch the clouds pass by.  Create a sacred space and a sacred time to “Cloud Watch” as you gaze at them passing by.  I plan on starting a Cloud Journal where I will take pictures of my clouds and record the answers to the following questions:

What did I see?

What does it remind me of? 

If I feel it was speaking to me, what did it say?  

How can I integrate this experience into the texture and context of my daily life?

I am excited about this series because in this day and age I feel like we are reaching back into our history and our multitude of cultures to find common ground in the messages from the world of the unseen. 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize those beautiful, graceful clouds moving across the sky and allow the feeling of the moment to brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.  Relish the moments in your sacred space as your dance with the clouds and allow your imagination to run wild.

Remember-May we always remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”

#8 -A Thought 4  Thursday   To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!  Faith and Soul Expansion!

#8 -A Thought 4  Thursday   To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!  Faith and Soul Expansion!

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

Each Day In Your Life is Unique!

***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner

 Thursday is a day of where we deal with the sacred aspects of Faith and Expansion.

This is “Big” work for us, especially I the world we are navigating and experiencing today.  Where there is such a mirage that there is validity to the ideology that we lack abundance and that we are operating in a universe that is grounded in “Lack and Limitation”,  our faith that teaches us that we are here for expansion of our soul expressions, and that we are covered in the abundance of what “Great Spirit”- “The One Source”- “God”, has endowed us with, there is nothing that we cannot overcome, or evolve from.  We chose to come into the physical life form for a reason, and we chose to do this challenging feat at this time because our soul was hungry for more growth and more understanding. 

When our souls are not expanding, we grow restless and falter in doing what we came to do, not just for our own personal development, but for the enhancement of our collective humanity.  WE are not meant to be stagnate energy and sit in complacency.  We are meant to move through the script of this “Master Life Plan” that we are engaged in and come through it victoriously.

 We are to be demonstrations of the majesty and brilliance of “The Creator’s” artistry that represents the depths of what love is-peace feels like-joy does, and compassion breeds. There was and always will be an intention by our “Creator” to design each of us uniquely and at the same time weave an unbreakable thread that binds the fabric of our humanity. 

The sacred aspects of “Faith” and “Expansion” are the tools we have been given not just to support and guide us through our living “Life” but are the sacred elements that make up that thread that binds our collective life experiences as a humanity.  Don’t be afraid of your soul’s need to expand and evolve. 

Activate the power of your “Faith”- Faith in who you are and what you can manifest.  Don’t shy away from the gifts you have been given for fear failing or really being all “God” intended you to be.  The universe has set the stage, “The Creator” has supplied the gifts, you just have to step on to that stage and let the world be blessed by what you hold in your soul. 

So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression.  May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity. It starts with living in a space of gratitude.  Gratitude not after we receive our blessings but before. 

Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Persian(Farsi) #4زنان با ارواح دلسوز-یک “فراخوان برای اقدام” جهانی!-درود باشد

فضای مقدس برای توافق نامه های دگرگون کننده
صبح دوستان من،

خوب نیازی به گفتن نیست که این یک هفته پر حادثه در دنیای جهانی ما بود.  اتفاقات خوبی در حال رخ دادن است و در عین حال اتفاقاتی در حال رخ دادن است که باید توسط همه ما به عنوان شهروندان جهانی مورد توجه قرار گیرد.  من معتقدم که «صدقه از خانه آغاز می شود و قبل از اینکه بتوانم در امور کشورهای دیگر مشورت و شفاعت کنم، باید راهی پیدا کنم تا از استعدادها و استعدادهایم برای مشارکت در حل شرایطی که میهنم را آزار می دهد، استفاده کنم.  در عین حال، من نسبت به این واقعیت حساس و آگاه هستم که ما یک جامعه جهانی هستیم که از نظر پایداری سیاره و بشریت به یکدیگر وابسته است.   با تمام آنچه گفته شد، در عین حال، برای ما مهم است که “مراقبت از خود” را انجام دهیم. 

ما ذاتا به عنوان زن، پرورش دهنده و محافظ هستیم.  به نظر من برای بسیاری از ما، اگر در وقت گذاشتن برای انجام کارهایی برای خودمان افراط کنیم، در موقعیتی قرار می گیریم که گناهکار است.  برای برخی از ما این یک زمان “ضربه و از دست دادن” است که برای ناز کردن خود وقت می گذاریم و از این بهانه استفاده می کنیم که باید این یا آن کار را انجام دهیم زیرا ما یک تعهد اجتماعی داریم و حتی بدتر از آن ، ما شروع به گرفتن خودمان می کنیم زیرا یک مشکل سلامتی داریم. وقتی به خودمان اجازه می دهیم در زمان “ضربه زدن و از دست دادن” عمل کنیم، یا “من باید این کار را برای خودم انجام دهم زیرا…”، ما فقط به خودمان لطف نمی کنیم، به دیگران نشان می دهیم که خودمان را دوست نداریم و به آنها احترام نمی گذاریم.  به علاوه، اگر از خودمان مراقبت نکنیم، امکانات لازم برای حمایت از زندگی کسانی را که دوستشان داریم و به نوبه خود به آنها احترام می گذاریم، نخواهیم داشت.

پایه و اساس توانایی مراقبت از خود در این دنیای آشفته، وارونه و درونی که هر یک از ما در آن حرکت می کنیم، این است که قبل از هر چیز شناسایی کنیم که چه چیزی ما را به حالت “صلح” می رساند.  وقتی آرامش خود را شناسایی می کنیم و آن را در بیان روح خود در اولویت قرار می دهیم، در حفظ آن بدون قضاوت یا گناه حمایت می شویم.  وقتی در زندگی در “صلح” قدم می گذاریم، به دیگران این آرزو را می دهیم که آرامش شخصی خود را پیدا کنند. 

هنگامی که ما این حس آرامش را در بیان روح خود نگه می داریم، آنچه برای ما یا اطرافمان اتفاق می افتد را می توان به روشی کلی سالم که عزم و پایه را به ارمغان می آورد، برخورد کرد.  صلح می تواند پادزهری باشد که اضطراب و ناتوانی ما را در عقب نشینی و مشاهده قبل از واکنش به موقعیت ها آرام می کند.  آرامش خود را پیدا کنید دوستان من!  شما سزاوار آرامش و فرصت هایی برای “مراقبت از خود” هستید.  دوستان من هنوز در آرامش خود باشید و ببینید که وقتی در “قدرت آرامش خود” به دنیا می آیید، چگونه همه چیز متفاوت به نظر می رسد و احساس می شود!

آش!  آش!

Xhosa #4 Abafazi Bemoya Yemfesane-I-Global “Call to Action”! # 4-Uxolo Lusekho

chrum kwik chrum kwik

Kusasa abahlobo bam,

Kulungile akuyomfuneko ukutsho ukuba le yayiyiveki eneziganeko kwihlabathi lethu lehlabathi.  Izinto ezintle zenzeka, kwaye kwangaxeshanye kwenzeka izinto ezifuna ukuqwalaselwa sonke njengabemi behlabathi.  Ndiyakholwa ukuba “intsebenziswano iqala ekhaya kwaye ngaphambi kokuba ndicebise kwaye ndithethelele kwamanye amazwe imicimbi, kufuneka ndifumane indlela yokusebenzisa iitalente zam kunye nezipho ukuthatha inxaxheba ekusombululeni iimeko ezithwaxa ilizwe lam.  Kwangaxeshanye, ndivakalelwa kwaye ndiyayiqonda into yokuba singabantu behlabathi jikelele abaxhomekeke omnye komnye ngokubhekiselele ekuzinzeni kweplanethi yethu kunye noluntu.   Konke oko kuthethwa, kwangaxeshanye, kubalulekile ukuba senze “ukuzinyamekela”. 

Thina ngokwemvelo yethu kanye njengabafazi, abakhulisi kunye nabakhuseli.  Kum kubonakala ngathi kwabaninzi bethu, sinyathela kwimeko yokuziva sinetyala ukuba sizifica ngokuthabatha ixesha lokuzenzela izinto.  Kwabanye bethu lixesha “lokubetha nokuphosa” ukuba sikhuphe ixesha lokuzi-pamper kwaye sisebenzise isingxengxezo sokuba kufuneka senze oku okanye ukuba ngenxa yokuba sinembopheleleko yentlalo kwaye okubi ngakumbi, siqala ukuthatha thina kuba sinomcimbi wezempilo. Xa sizivumela ukuba sisebenze ngexesha elithi “hit and miss”, okanye “Kufuneka ndizenzele le nto kuba…”, asizenzeli nceba kuphela, sibonisa abanye ukuba asibathandi kwaye sizihloniphe.  Plus, ukuba asizinyamekeli, asiyi kuba ne-wherewithal yokuxhasa ubomi babo sibathandayo kwaye sibahlonela ngokuguquguqukayo.

Yintoni isiseko sokukwazi ukuzinyamekela kule siphithiphithi, ibheke phezulu, ngaphakathi ngaphandle, ihlabathi ngamnye wethu ahamba ngalo kukuba kuqala achaze ukuba yintoni esizisa kwimeko “yoXolo”.  Xa sibona uxolo lwethu size silubeke phambili kwimbonakaliso yethu yomphefumlo, sixhaswa ekulondolozeni ngaphandle kokugweba okanye ukuziva sinetyala.  Xa sihamba ebomini “ngoXolo”, sinika abanye umnqweno wokufumana uxolo lwabo lobuqu.  Xa sibambe loo mvakalelo yoxolo kwimbonakaliso yethu yomphefumlo, oko kwenzekayo kuthi okanye okusingqongileyo kunokusingathwa ngendlela enempilo ye-wholistic ezisa ukuzimisela kunye nesiseko.  Uxolo lunokuba yi-antidot ethomalalisa ixhala lethu kunye nokungakwazi ukutsala umva kunye nokuqwalasela ngaphambi kokusabela kwiimeko.  Fumana uxolo lwakho abahlobo bam!  Ufanelwe luxolo namathuba “okuzinyamekela”.  Yiba seluxolweni lwakho bahlobo bam kwaye uqaphele indlela izinto ezibukeka kwaye zivakalelwa ngayo ngokwahlukileyo xa ufika kwihlabathi “Amandla oXolo lwakho”!

Welsh #4 Merched o ysbrydion tosturiol-“Galwad i Weithredu” byd-eang! # 4- Heddwch Aros

Y Lle Sanctaidd ar gyfer Cytundebau Trawsnewidiol

Bore fy ffrindiau,

Does dim angen dweud bod hon wedi bod yn wythnos gyffrous yn ein byd eang.  Mae pethau da yn digwydd, ac ar yr un pryd mae pethau’n digwydd y mae angen i bob un ohonom fel dinasyddion byd-eang fynd i’r afael â nhw.  Rwy’n credu bod “elusen yn dechrau gartref a chyn y gallaf gynghori ac eiriol mewn materion gwledydd eraill, rhaid imi ddod o hyd i ffordd o ddefnyddio fy doniau a’m doniau i gymryd rhan wrth ddatrys yr amgylchiadau sy’n plagio fy mamwlad.  Ar yr un pryd, rwy’n sensitif ac yn ymwybodol o’r ffaith ein bod yn gymdeithas fyd-eang sy’n gyd-ddibynnol o ran cynaliadwyedd ein planed a’n dynoliaeth.   Y cyfan sy’n cael ei ddweud, ar yr un pryd, mae’n bwysig i ni wneud “gofalu am ein hunain”. 

Rydym yn ôl ein natur fel menywod, meithrinwyr ac amddiffynwyr.  Mae’n ymddangos i mi, i gynifer ohonom, ein bod yn camu i sefyllfa o deimlo’n euog os ydym yn ymroi i gymryd amser i wneud pethau drosom ein hunain.  I rai ohonom mae’n amser “taro a cholli” ein bod yn cymryd amser i faldodi ein hunain a defnyddio’r esgus bod yn rhaid i ni wneud hyn neu, oherwydd bod gennym rwymedigaeth gymdeithasol ac hyd yn oed yn waeth, ein bod yn dechrau cymryd ein hunain oherwydd bod gennym broblem iechyd. Pan fyddwn yn caniatáu i ni ein hunain weithredu yn yr amser “taro a cholli,” neu “Mae’n rhaid i mi wneud hyn drosof fy hun oherwydd…”, nid ydym ond yn gwneud ffafr i ni’n hunain, rydym yn dangos i eraill nad ydym yn caru ac yn parchu ein hunain.  Hefyd, os na fyddwn yn gofalu amdanom ein hunain, ni fydd gennym y cyfle i gefnogi bywydau’r rhai yr ydym yn eu caru a’u parchu yn eu tro.

Beth yw’r sylfaen o allu gofalu amdanom ein hunain yn y byd anhrefnus hwn, wyneb i waered, y tu mewn allan, y mae pob un ohonom yn ei lywio yw nodi’n gyntaf oll yr hyn sy’n dod â ni i gyflwr “Heddwch”.  Pan fyddwn yn nodi ein heddwch ac yn ei flaenoriaethu yn ein mynegiant enaid, fe’n cefnogir i’w gynnal heb farn nac euogrwydd.  Pan fyddwn yn cerdded trwy fywyd mewn “Heddwch”, rydyn ni’n rhoi’r awydd i eraill ddod o hyd i’w heddwch personol eu hunain.  Pan fyddwn yn dal yr ymdeimlad hwnnw o heddwch yn ein mynegiant enaid, gellir delio â’r hyn sy’n digwydd i ni neu o’n cwmpas mewn ffordd gyfannol iach sy’n dod â datrys a seilio.  Gall heddwch fod yn antidot sy’n tawelu ein pryder a’n hanallu i dynnu’n ôl ac arsylwi cyn ymateb i sefyllfaoedd.  Dod o hyd i’ch heddwch ffrindiau!  Rydych chi’n haeddu heddwch a chyfleoedd i “ofalu amdanoch chi’ch hun”.  Byddwch yn llonydd yn eich heddwch ffrindiau ac arsylwi sut mae pethau’n edrych ac yn teimlo’n wahanol pan ddewch chi i’r byd yn “Grym eich Heddwch”!
