Attending conference in NYC today: "Awaken to the Divine Feminine"!!
Musician Ani Williams will be performing. I noticed her CD is titled "Return to the Garden"...can't wait to hear her.

Also Margaret Starbird, Flo Aeveia Magdalena, and other Magdalene, shall we say, "afficionados"...should be a very interesting day. I'll keep you posted...: )

I've been unable to post anything since late February, but I won't complain. Many people have had website issues during this time. Here's an interesting channeling from Steve Rother and The Group, regarding the subject:

On the weekend, I again woke with a "knowing"...that matter is light in particle form, and spirit is light in wave form. As I'm not a physicist, it seems to have come to me in relation to another knowing that I've had for a while now.

I was intrigued when, some time ago, I began searching on the web for the meaning of the name Guinevere. There are many variations of the name, including Jennifer and Genevieve, but the original spelling in the earliest of the Arthurian legends was Gwenhwyfar. It's meaning has several variations, which combine "white, shining, holy" and "phantom, ghost or wave." Common meaning is given as White Ghost or White Wave...but it isn't a stretch to define the meaning as "Holy Ghost."

I think that I first heard the phrase "being authentic" in the Sarah Ban Breathnach book, "Simple Abundance." I used to read it (dare I use the term?) religiously (as in, "with dedication") for several years. I have to say that the daily chapters were incredibly helpful to me in my own awakening process. Lately, I keep coming across the message that it is now necessary, like never before, to be authentic, to speak your truth, to walk your talk, to be in integrity, to share your self and your ideas with the world. More than that, even, it is time to be transparent, which includes all of the above, with the added connotation that nothing is hidden.

Once more, on the subject of darkness...I predict that as we move out of duality we will begin to, physically, see that darkness is actually full of light. We can't see ultraviolet light, but we do know that it exists. Perhaps soon we will be able to measure the full spectrum of "light" and find that there is much more to the picture than we have been able to see with the naked eye.

Perhaps we will also see the value in what we have called darkness, in existential terms. I believe that we will find wholeness only when we are able to embrace all of what we are in unconditional love.

The following was a bit of prose inspired by the previously mentioned weekend retreat. I am not converting to Buddhism, but it was a valuable experience. In many ways, it reminded me of my Catholic upbringing, and the contrasts and similarities spread out into other religious concepts, until I saw it all as a kaliedoscope of practices and philosophies, of differences and similarities. I come back to the knowing that our individuality is a valuable experience. Otherwise, why would the All That Is choose an experience of aloneness and separation, when it could simply remain all-powerful and all-knowing, and never take on the viewpoint of the human self? Through our individuality, we find our way back to the Oneness, bringing our own piece of the puzzle, that fits so beautifully into the All.

On my long drive from the East Coast to the West, I had time to contemplate an earlier post. (At some point, I need to set up another website for such topics.) There was an interesting juxtaposition of the terms "light" and "dark", with only a tiny dot of punctuation between them.

Darkness does not equate with evil, or ignorance. Darkness is the feminine principle - the void, the womb, the Great Mystery, the sea of possibilities, the unknown, and perhaps, unknowable. It is receptive, nurturing, the Great Mother, the essence of the Black Madonna. It is easy to see the damage that has been done to the feminine, and by the absence of the feminine qualities, the damage to the masculine also, through defining darkness, and the feminine qualities as unacceptable.

My dear friend, Wendy Rezzonico, is a beautiful soul, who writes wonderful lyrics and music, and practices (and leads) Kirtan groups where she lives in Southwestern New Hampshire. This prose was inspired by a line from a song she wrote about Mary. I'm thankful for Wendy's loving friendship and the inspiration that she brings to me.

We are integrating all that we are, into wholeness. It may mean clearing whatever energies that no longer serve our highest good, but it doesn't mean leaving any part of ourselves behind. When we embrace our whole selves in unconditional love, what no longer serves our highest good simply falls away, and we expand our awareness of who and what we truly are...great and powerful beings of love and light.
