Spiritual Sources, Role Models and Inspiration

 

 

Vicki Noble: “In India they say the Great Goddess Durga is a Warrior Goddess present always in the eternal but who manifests in the physical when the demons get out of hand. Today’s resurgence of interest in shamanism and a return of the Goddess is our version of Durga making her presence felt. Goddess as Shaman is manifesting to rid the planet of the evil forces, and the obvious way she can take form is through women—her embodied priestesses—and all people behaving in a feminine way. Women as a group are re-membering. It seems that because we have nothing to lose and everything to gain, we are able to open to these memories and access this available information as it arises from the center of our psyches. As we do this, if we are willing to stand our ground and refuse to have it co-opted or compromised by established values and paradigms, sooner or later men will also hunger for these changes, joining us in the creation of a world from this memory.” [Excerpt from Shakti Woman 1991]

Dr Vandana Shiva: “Ecology is…the science of the earth, her living beings, her ecosystems. Oikonomia, or Economy, to be true to its name and its roots, should be care and management of the Earth as our home.”

The word ‘economy’ has its roots in the Greek word ‘oikos’,  which originally referred to household, house, or family, its daily operations and maintenance. Economy, derived from Oikonomia is thus the management of the home. Today, we need to see “oikos” both in terms of our particular homes in particular places, as well as the planet as our common home, and the Earth Family as one family of all beings and people on the Earth.

Today, the Economy has lost its way. It has gone rogue. It has become a brutal money machine that is destroying the homes of the poor, and our common home. It has become a war against people and the planet. And it needs to be brought home. It needs to be brought back in service of the Earth in accordance with ecology, the laws of the Earth.

Kyle Vialli: “To live deliciously a being must discover that there is a Matrix and then they must dare to move beyond it. Here, when all the adopted identities begin to dissolve or take on a much more nebulous quality, one must cultivate the passion to discover themselves afresh, to come face to face with their wild, authentic, unbridled self, stripped of all those stifling classifications. May every soul get to live deliciously in this life.

“If people didn’t change, humanity would never change. We claim we want change, but paradoxically we crave the safe, dependable and familiar. We manifest what we expect; not necessarily what our higher or rational minds might rally for. The real game of life is to consciously upgrade our expectation of tomorrow; to move through the growing pains and loss that that often entails. To embrace the notion that people will change and CHANGE cannot happen any other way.”

Swami Satyananda: “This has not been the age of Yoga Shakti . . . It is not possible for everyone to possess yoga shakti. This age to which you belong is not the age of yogic power, it is the age of technological power. Today man’s mind has accumulated a lot of dirt. God has made a constitution for every age: in this age, psychic powers have been banned because everyone’s mind is polluted.

“The shastras, scriptures, have placed an injunction on the saints and sages that until man is not ready to reform, until he is not ready to change himself, he will get limited help. They were talking of the power of yoga.

“Yoga shakti in this age will remain with those who possess it and will go with them when they die. And it should also. Yes, there are some people in this world who live for worthy causes. There are such householders. Sages do bless them so they receive wellness, riches, a happy future, or are cured of diseases. This happens because to uplift dharma, the righteous, and destroy adharma, the unrighteous, God/Goddess is born.”

Graham Hancock: The evidence revealed in his book Magicians of the Gods, the Forgotten Wisdom of Earth’s Lost Civilisation shows beyond reasonable doubt that an advanced civilization that flourished during the Ice Age was destroyed in the global cataclysms between 12,800 and 11,600 years ago.

But there were survivors—known to later cultures by names such as ‘the Sages’, ‘the Magicians’, ‘the Shining Ones’, and ‘the Mystery Teachers of Heaven’. They travelled the world in their great ships doing all in their power to keep the spark of civilization burning. They settled at key locations: Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Baalbek in the Lebanon, Giza in Egypt, ancient Sumer, Mexico, Peru and across the Pacific where a huge pyramid has recently been discovered in Indonesia. Everywhere they went these ‘Magicians of the Gods’ brought with them the memory of a time when mankind had fallen out of harmony with the universe and paid a heavy price. A memory and a warning to the future . . .

Catherine Ulissey: 12,000 years ago, approximately one half of a precessional cycle, our last ice age ended, and advanced culture was brought to its knees, when a river of fire (solar plasma) emanated from our Sun and washed over our planet, leaving little more than large stones standing. Will we be hit again? Geology teaches that it is not a matter of if, but when. The question is, will the world be prepared? And knowing that such an event is coming, what will our civilization leave to posterity?

An explosion from our star, the Sun, c. 9700 BCE sent the world into chaos. The high levels of radiation associated with the event explain the die-off of large mammals that also occurred at this time. The way to survive would have been to go underground, to seek protection within rock, and we see evidence that humans did just this worldwide, with quintessential examples found in the Cappadocia region of Turkey where a network of underground cities that housed tens of thousands of people still exists. Humankind was thrown into a dark age for thousands of years, only to reemerge (amidst megalithic monuments belonging to a much earlier period) with scattered memories and nascent abilities.

Rob Brezny: This is an excerpt from an interview with Jeff Brown in his Enrealment podcast, where he and Rob talk about “Healing the Wounds of Patriarchy” . . . this is in response to the question “what do you feel is in the way of returning back, or returning for the first time, to an experience of spirituality as humans?”

Rob: “I think there’s a lot of inaction in the world. I think the earth-based religions are doing it to some degree. There’s some precedence for that in our past, in our indigenous past that all of us came from—I come from indigenous Polish and Slovakian groups and my people had their own indigenous traditions that preceded the Christian “gloss”. I think there are a lot of people returning to those roots and I think that that’s a great part of it.

“Although I think there’s a very new perspective that goes even further: ‘how do we do that?’ What I think is important is our love for human beings—who they are, how they actually live—and it’s our main motivating force. Speaking for myself it’s important for me to remember that’s where it all comes from and ultimately those of us who speak these truths are grounded—because that’s where it all comes from, conveying the ultimate inspiration that people are drawn to.”

SuZen: I think it’s vitally important that we don’t shy away from the complex vibrations of Patriarchy and its effects and facing it squarely, as I have had to, will only make our purpose and process stronger.

David Gilmour: “Take it back”

Her love rains down on me / easy as the breeze / I listen to her breathing / it sounds like the waves on the sea / I was thinking all about her / burning with rage and desire / we were spinning into darkness / the earth was on fire. She could take it back / she might take it back someday.

So I spy on her, I lie to her/ I make promises I cannot keep /  then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep / then I make her prove her love to me, I take all that I can take / and I push her to the limit to see if she will break. She might take it back / she could take it back someday.

Now I have seen the warnings, screaming from all sides / it’s easy to ignore them, God knows I’ve tried / all of this temptation, you know it turned my faith to lies /until I couldn’t see the danger, or hear the rising tide. She can take it back / she will take it back some day.

The lyrics to the song “Take it Back” are actually attributed to Pink Floyd, but the song concept came from David Gilmour’s being inspired by the Gaia myth and her symbolism as Mother Earth . . . she had come out of original chaos and life started to flourish when she was born. In the Greek creation myth Mother Earth created the plains, the rivers, the lands and is responsible for creating the world as we know it today. As Mother and Wife of Uranus, the sky god, she gave birth to the Titans, whom Uranus hated—as father/brother—and he decided to imprison them in Gaia’s womb, forcing her to “take them back” causing her great pain and distress and preventing her from having more children.

Estas Tonne: “What would happen . . . one day those little glimpses we perceive of the Soul’s talking speaks loud? Sometimes we see someone playing an instrument or dancing, and we can say ‘wow, this person really plays at his heart or soul or spirit.’

“What if really that is amplified to the point that it’s so loud that we cannot deny this calling . . . it’s so loud that it screams, it loves, it cries. It’s so loud that it’s impossible to neglect it, because that’s what it’s doing—every moment—to bring our attention to it, to bring our attention.”

“When the Soul Whispers” was a spontaneous moment captured during the Dreamland Festival, Poland 2022, more here . . . video courtesy of Estas Tonne.  “Pushing the Magic Away” was Estas’ introduction to his performance at Live in Goa, video at this link is courtesy of World Street Music.

 

 

Marijn Poels:The quest I pursued for the last 5 years was to discover to which extent we should engineer our efforts to control Earth’s ecosystems without losing the principles of preserving it. We should engineer it with respect, and always stay strongly connected with nature in order to understand it. If we don’t understand the problem, there is no way in the world we can fix it.

“Whether believing in man-made global warming or not, climate change is there and should be there. It has never stopped changing and will continue to do so. However, in my opinion, there are two main questions with rather unstructured answers.

[A] Whether the change will be harmful in the future and
[B] to what extent humans are contributing to it.

“The scientific answers are “Highly likely” and “more than 50%” These are not really accurate, and there is a reason for it.”

SuZen/Susan Ni Rahilly: I don’t talk about this very much, but I’m a grail carrier . . . my own Ancient being-ness is that my Scottish Grandmother on my Mother’s side was a Sinclair—I got to sit on my granny’s knee in the afternoons in her old-fashioned kitchen in Scotland and listen to the stories when I was 2, 3 and 4 years old.

Only later I found out—even though it was daily talk in our house over tea in the afternoons—that the Sinclairs were one of the 2 families in France who married into the Mary Magdalene bloodline to keep the sacred blood of Jesus and Mary, through their daughter, pure. Being a grail carrier to me means, almost at the High Priestess level of “fairy godmother”, reminding you of the special gifts you have carried with you in your soul for many, many lifetimes—the ancient in your being: and this is what I teach you to remember.

You make my Yoga my yoga . . . and it’s not up to me how I do it, as a channel for Divine Mother’s care for Humanity’s advancement I go with the inspiration and interpret that with whatever communication skills I have . . . so that you can be part of this spiritual community bringing hope to Humanity for our future.

Between you and me, the inspirational guides above that I call a “Circle of Light” have helped me in my own understanding of Humanity’s journey through time . . . because neither time nor the creative mind is linear, and “joining the dots” happens in a circular fashion.

Namaste.
