The Winter Solstice is a time for Reflection, for Transmutation & Growth. To Shed that which no longer serves us, in order to move forward towards our Destiny. Towards fulfillment of the Great Work. Blessings.

Make your vision clear & direct, Know what you want to achieve, pour all your energy, imagination & intent into it, do the work that is required. Nothing is impossible. Doubt and Fear are illusions. Life is pure Alchemy in motion. To become conscious of this, to cooperate with it is mind blowing to say the least. The things dreams are made of...and more. Funny sometimes it still makes me fall down laughing and then how it makes me bow in humility to such a grand thing. Imagine if everyone figured out just what they were truly capable of. The thing that reveals all things. The oneness interconnected and inherent within All. The Divine Paradox come to life and shown in the light of day to all with eyes to see. Behold such wondrous beauty, this stone shimmers like the rays of a billion suns.

Practice Random acts of Kindness whenever possible, especially when someone really needs it. Do this because you can, without the thought of what you might gain in return. By giving unconditionally when the need arises you automatically gain everything. "When you give, you begin to live" , All things are ruled by cause and effect. To what degree is decided by our actions. Let love be the guide. Let Truth light the Darkness. For one can not exist without the other. Thus all things are ONE. and there is only ONE way to BE.

Life is Alchemy in motion. The seasons change and fall brings with it Reflection. The realization that one must shed and transmute that which no longer serves us, in order to move forward, to make the work possible. Old Patterns, Habits, Fears and Insecurities that weigh us down and hold us back from being truly free; the leaden nature of our humanity. It is a constant cycle, ever refining as we gain wisdom and experience to derive the Gold that is sought, the perfection of the stone. We are faced with tests until we are able to learn the lesson, and transcend it fully by overcoming and changing one thing to another that serves us. Suffering is self inflicted. It is not necessary to certain degrees if we only see through the illusion that hides what we seek. There must be a balance sought and it is all up to us, to surrender, yet take control and in return gain the greatest power of all. ∞ Love must rule the fire that guides us.

Whatever you choose to do in life that has meaning, do it with every ounce of energy within yourself, with all your heart and soul and watch it become something bigger than you ever could have imagined... if you aren't doing what feeds your soul, brings you peace of mind and fulfills you then stop doing that and find whatever it is that does and start doing it. Make the dream reality. Happiness only comes from within, money cant buy it, things cant provide it, it wont come from anything outside of our self. All though you can truly manifest whatever you desire, those things are only extensions, or illusions in place to teach one thing. Life is too short to waste on the Illusion, the world of fear that is fed to each one of us every day, the chaos. Instead look past all that and follow your heart. That is the only place you will ever find the truth to anything. ∞

Life is all about refinement and transmutation, what serves our highest good and what no longer serves us. Each choice leads us towards our destiny or further towards illusion. We are each personally responsible for every thought and action we allow to manifest and for where we stand today, For our own health, abundance, happiness and so forth. There is no blame to place on others or circumstances or environment, these have very little to do with anything at all. The beauty & simplicity of it all is beyond words. Create with every breath. Let Love be the guide. Be the change you want to see in the world. ∞

Let the mysteries be shown clearly. Pineal Gland / Third Eye

"The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness." Luke 11:34

The beauty and magic of life is never to be underestimated. The Mystic who seeks union of the two into one, the unlocking of the mysteries, seeks to experience in co-creation. This is the only mode of experimentation that erases all doubt through direct experience. To manifest on the material plane by spiritual laws in cooperation with the divine wisdom and knowledge ; that is the foundation of the great work. Let love be the highest rule of law. Oneness with All that is.

"The inner meaning of alchemy is simply all-composition, implying the relation of the all of the creation to the parts which compose it. Thus alchemy, when properly understood, deals with the conscious power controlling mutations and transmutations within matter and energy and even within life itself. It is the science of the mystic, and it is the forte of the self-realized man who, having sought, has found himself to be one with God and is willing to play his part" Compte de St Germain

*taken from a conversation with a friend on Sustainability & Society , decided to post it here...

In order to see real change in ANYTHING on a mass scale we must first change ourselves, this means a shift in consciousness where each individual manifests the latent faculties asleep within. By doing this one raises their consciousness to the point of realization of our true connectedness to each other and the ALL and rules the self by FULL personal responsibility for every single thought and action allowed to manifest. 

Until these things are manifested within the individual fully as a conscious being then Sustainability, Peace and so forth are infant ideas floating around the collective consciousness but never truly taking root within the reality so long as the majority remain asleep or under the illusion of being awakened and bent to the will of other men, Governments, institutions, etc. 

The cold hard truth is instead of trying to change or save the world one must first save themselves. We are much more powerful than most can even imagine and as long as most are caught up in the land of make believe, "the matrix", whatever label we wish to call this realm we find ourselves in then the chaos will continue and only signs of a shift will be seen. There is no saving the current system, it does not serve ANY purpose other than to awaken us all to the pure hypocrisy and as a tool of separation from the truth that it is.

its always the Idea ... if that Idea gets into the mainstream consciousness then we see shifts, like whats going on with "Sustainability", Organic / Natural / Clean Food, & GMO awareness, for example. And other "movements", its all cycles. Humans will figure it out sooner than later hopefully and stop this adolescent temper tantrum (as a collective) once and for all and grow up. It doesn't seem so strange really, to awaken to the idea or state of being that we are meant to live in peace, in cooperation with each other and the planet, which creates abundance and prosperity for all, no life worth more than any other, and a heightened consciousness which shatters all illusions. 

It is possible one day. For those that get it now , then its up to each one to live and BE the change in every action. We have the technology and the Science but it is void of any real conscience or purpose unless consciousness / spirituality is truly applied and then used to better our species and stop destroying and going to war and competing with ourselves. The tech is here now. The means are here now. But its not about sustainability right now really, its about Profits and those who run this system who will have no profit or control if this were all to happen, so chaos is created, movements are steered and distracted and crushed from the fear of what real freedom and awareness brings to this civilization. One day. Balance. Find it. Reject the system in place. It can not be changed or saved in its current form. It is corrupt. It is in place for one reason and that is control. A new system is forming each second and the old one burns. 

But its still all cyclical, like evolution, painfully slow to see and to be involved in , but none the less it occurs every second whether we are aware of it or not. We are creating change right now based upon what we decide to do , give our energy away to, our money, our souls. It changes and balances with each person who realizes that the lies do not stand on their own merit any longer, that supporting or feeding the parts of the system that only restrict, enslave or destroy means being part of the problem. So much more to it all, on every level, but in truth the answer is extremely simple.

That is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming..... Blessings

Create with every breath

By the will may the thoughts be directed. The intention dictating the results of projection. To manifest success or abundance requires the vision to be direct and clear. It must be seen and believed to BE, because there simply is no other alternative. Let love and wisdom guide the path. The highest Good of ALL held in the highest of regards. Mans first duty is to himself. To Raise himself and his own consciousness to the highest degree and in doing so benefit all those around him. To create in such a way as to effect the vibration as to assist in the Spiritization of matter itself, creation in cooperation with the divine and nature. So Mote it Be.

Know Thyself

Peace Profound.

This has been a year of crystallization in so many ways, both on an individual & collective level. That which no longer serves us, old belief systems & dogmas, relationships, "jobs", attachments of many kinds were shed in 2013. 

2014, as far as a made up number to keep track of time , which really doesn't exist, is going to be EPIC, next level, its time to take things super nova, and its all possible because you think it to be, you will it to be. And so it is. 

Consciousness is the catalyst of ALL Things, the observer and the object being observed are dependent upon the other. There is no separation, ALL is in the ALL and The ALL is in ALL. 

Create with every breath. Not merely believing it but CREATING it, by right feeling and thinking, the Logos, the Word, Projected by thought and will, the heart and third eye as ONE. Projected and made manifest reality. This stone that transmutes the leaden nature into golden being. 

Blessings. So mote it be. ONE with all that is.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

This Saturday is the Winter Solstice. An excellent day to set intent for the coming year and to align in ritual, meditation & prayer, to elevate the consciousness and unite with some very special energy. This is the time of year ALL of the "Holidays" are a reflection of. This is the longest Night of the Year, the shortest day as the Sun comes to its lowest altitude above the Horizon. The Above and the Below are merged once again, spirit and matter. Many Blessings to All.

"There is an earthly sun, which is the cause of all heat, and all who are able to see may see the Sun; and those who are blind and cannot see him may feel his heat. There is an Eternal Sun, which is the source of all wisdom, and whose spiritual sense have awakened to life will see that Sun and be conscious of His existence; but those who have not attained spiritual consciousness may yet feel His power by an inner faculty which is called Intuition" Paracelsus

There is a space to be found within Meditation that is of the most profound and loving peace imaginable. It is a gift, a most holy tool indeed. It is not about merely pushing away thoughts, or reaching a state of inner silence, or even so much as contemplation of the many mysteries that is the goal alone. Meditation leads to the source of thought, to the void that IS creating, nothing, pure being all at once. Enlightenment is not some ah ha moment where one suddenly realizes something. It is a process, an alchemical ladder each climbs on their own. The constant refining of the "I" or Ego and the ability to not so much transcend the current reality or awareness but to transmute the lower into the higher. To combine the Above and the Below and again raise oneself from the Below and combine with the Above.

Our experiences dictate our views depending upon the level of consciousness we are at. We view experiences in life as either negative or positive and sometimes passively partake or choose to remain neutral. Experience is one of the greatest teachers. It transforms knowledge into Wisdom. Life is full of lessons for us to experience, this is how we grow, how we learn. We are never supposed to remain stagnant or become complacent in life, this leads to degeneration, waste, decay. Instead we are supposed to continuously evolve, expand our consciousness and create with every breath we take. Life is also full of opportunity, more so than the average person knows. Opportunity waiting to write new lessons and experiences that further our growth, our ability to connect to each other and to this realm we find ourselves within. Certain opportunities only come along once, others maybe a few times in certain cases. Learning to recognize them from a objective observer point of view to certain extents allows us to enter a state of intuitive Gnosis so to speak, to use a different sight to see with. As we progress along this path we are shown certain things, the Ego, certain emotions and so forth do not cloud the judgement or decision making process. Doubt and Fear which are are almost always present in the collective consciousness vanish and the path to take is known almost instantly. The beauty is in seeing them when they arise and seizing the opportunity then and there with all you are.

The things in life such as luck, fate, and so forth are nothing more than ignorance to understanding that there are laws in place that all things follow; Reaping and sowing. Cause and effect. The pendulum of polarity and correspondence that most are slaves to. What is completely possible is to become the cause and the effect. The goal of Meditation is To learn to enter a state of single mindfulness where Intuition is guided by unconditional love, where fear and doubt are not allowed to enter the temple and run amok. Where we enter a waking state of higher awareness, a state when faced with even the hardest decisions, the answer is to be found clearly. We are responsible for the reality we create within our personal lives fully and that reaches over into all other aspects of reality. When the way is found to do the one thing, then there is no other way to do anything.

To understand this is to then take as complete control of life as is possible. Fill it with Love, peace, abundance and prosperity on all levels. Be kind, charitable and peaceful. These are the faculties each person has within them, to strive for the highest virtues because it is the only way to be. To behold the stone of the philosophers is to know the secrets of nature, of self and of the Divine. Which are ONE in the same. Nothing is separate from another. The Observer and the Object being observed are completely dependent on one another.

Solve et Coagula

Blessings

Realizing you wouldn't be exactly where you stand now if you had made different choices is part of the immense beauty of life. Good or bad is all perception and it is only we ourselves who hold the key to our happiness or to the illusion. Its all a dream, creating every experience as we go along, recognizing the important things in life and not worrying about the things you have no power over. instead use this gift to Manifest Destiny and push the envelope to see how far it bends...Always go as far as you can, beyond the imagination and any limitations you can conceive of
