"I believe we will; it's our destiny. We've just had a lot of unacknowledged historical karma to resolve before we could truly begin, and I feel deeply that that's what this time has been all about."
VestraLux-- As I've been saying for years now, it's as if the entire country was built on someone else's sacred ground with no acknowledgment or reparations.
Tag... I hate politics, and politicians, but as unfortunate as it is that we have all been thrust into this 'alternate universe' of having to battle this insanity on the most intrinsic levels, I still have hope that we will all regain our state of grace in the light of the new era dawning.
A while ago this message came to me.....
Stay confident... walk in your strength... choose your battles wisely... and keep your sense of humour to save your sanity.
I too get really exhausted and just have to shut down sometimes but then I realize that my 'shields' aren't up and I'm way too open to all of the chaos going on..... then I have to tune in to the simplicity of pure goodness for awhile, like breathing with the trees or working with herbs, watching the nightsky unfold or beautiful clouds forming in amazing ways (sometimes I see very definite signs in the clouds too, lol).....
It's so wonderful that Colorado and NM are leading the way to the restoration of our Constitution, along with so many others whose hearts are in sync. I still think that Beto won in Texas tho, and that little 'razorthin' edge that gave Cruz the win was rigged, not unlike the little edges that put the Idiot in the WH.
Still, that beautiful blue light is getting brighter with each new day.
[This became a surprise transmission from some of our country's beautiful guiding lights, so I'm going to honor it by posting. It may not fit the thread, but Jeanne will let me know if it should be moved. It began in response to Laura.]
It's true that this ground was sacred and that it was forcibly taken by imperialists with little regard for its inhabitants or its health. Many have known this cognitively since shortly after the country was formed, but that isn't the same as understanding a thing holistically, which requires seeing and feeling with the heart—and therefore intimately understanding its consequences. To do that, we have to grow up as a people, to develop and evolve. And that takes time.
There have been many other traumas on this ground since, which we all know, but I'm being reminded that there was already painful karma here from before Europeans arrived. A few even believed this karma—or wetiko—was the curse which brought them.
As my Muscogee and Chickasaw great-grandmothers, who've been my guides all my life (both were matrilineal tribes!) tell me, white men weren't the first to create this kind of karma in the world, or even the more imaginative, only the more prolific. And therefore more deadly.
As patriarchal energy grew everywhere, many men on this landmass began waring their brothers, attempting to dominate one another and take over or obliterate fellow tribes by carrying out gruesome and unnatural modes of conquest. They raided and slaughtered, burned homes and villages, brutalized women and children. They took slaves. And they believed all of it their sovereign right.
There were also many women who agreed and supported them.
No one is without stain. We all have trauma to heal, and therefore karma to resolve. One of the consequences of our unhealed karmic story has been "victim/oppressor" dynamics, which, because it is a worldview lens, is also a dimension or sphere. It's a very real spacetime zone that holds cyclic and parallel lifetimes. We've all been inside that sphere, revolving through these lifetimes and therefore playing out these victim/oppressor roles repeatedly (and will remain there until we transition from that worldview lens, which many are already doing).
But no one is always the victim. We may despise the tyrant today, only to become him tomorrow. (The Grandmothers are asking me to imagine how hard it was to return as a Confederate soldier! ... There's laughter.)
Anything from the past that's unresolved is bound to repeat. And if we're always repeating the past, we don't actually have free will—or rather, we're unable to access it. Instead, we're numb and dissociated from all of that trauma/karma we keep bumping into but refusing to acknowledge. And that means we're walking around asleep.
But democracy is all about free will. Which suggests that we won't be able to actualize it until we resolve our past and wake up to the true present. Resolving trauma takes a great deal of courage, however, because it requires full accountability from all. If we're always seeing an oppressor as external to us, and demanding he be called to account, we aren't standing in that space. We're projecting, rather than owning. Ours is a holographic universe; as without, so within.
True compassion is maybe the hardest work of all. It sees with a gentleness of heart, but roars with the strength of a lion. Compassion doesn't condone or allow behaviors that cause harm, but it does accept beings without judgment. It understands that actions are not souls, and roles are temporary. It loves fiercely enough to demand change—of the other, as well as the self. Because there's no separation.
The Grandmothers have realized incredible compassion, and offer it to our country now, regardless of race or creed or religion, or any other temporal role we play. They say that what is sacred can never be tarnished, so the land remains holy, whatever its traumas. When we begin to recognize ourselves as holy, we'll find ourselves in a new sphere, on a new Earth, in a new time—which is all around us already and just waiting to be seen.
So right on Mas... the electoral college should have been thrown out long ago. It's totally archaic and ironically was based on the slaver states way back when. It has no valid reason to exist in our modern world, and should be abolished. The "popular" vote is the real vote!
The negative about a one person one vote is the fact that a president (or candidate) might only pander to highly populated states and ignore states with less population. California, New York, Mass, Florida and so forth would have WAY to much influence, more than now I would think.
Of course, one might be spared the dreaded presidential commercials during election season if they were to say, live in Montana or Alaska. I wonder what effect splitting the electoral votes has had in places like Maine and Nebraska?
Thank you so much, Stargazer. ?
I've written many books which have been published, but I think what you're asking is whether I'm known for this, and that answer is no. I'm a ghostwriter by profession. Because you're an astrologer, you'll understand why when I tell you that, although I'm a double Sagittarius (Sun and Ascendant, woohoo!), my Virgo Moon (9th house) is conjunct my Midheaven in Virgo in the 10th.
All of this means that I'm here to offer my work in honor of a sacred ideal and in service to the collective. My clients are well-known figures whose work is about consciousness evolution, spirituality and healing, and transformational leadership. I'm pretty dang lucky.
The post you're acknowledging here occurs as a kind of channeling, which only happened after I started posting on this site, and took me completely by surprise. My daughter and I (most of my mother's line, actually) are mediumistic, but I've never been an automatic writer. The idea kind of freaked me out, if I'm honest. (I personally don't allow entities to enter or use my body in any way.)
I don't think what's happening here classifies as automatic writing because I'm very much still using my skills as an editor and refiner of language and ideas, but there's no question in me that a higher voice is stepping in and guiding my way. It doesn't come from me, but through me. It isn't mine.
The voice feels both singular and collective, maybe a future synthesis of my ancestral line? Or something more, maybe something which contains all of us. It's distinct but vast. The Grandmothers I've always known belong to it, but there was a time when they didn't, and they've shown me that.
All I know is that I'm just a scribe. Which is still a profound honor.
About a month ago, I recalled a past/parallel life as a young Catholic monk in the early 15th century. (This was a shock too, since I hadn't put a lot of stock in being able to remember other lives before.) Much of that lifetime revolved around the skill of learning to perfectly transcribe sacred texts. Then this week I participated in a group meditation that had a surprising guided instruction: to invite in all of the skills and talents we had acquired throughout all lifetimes so they may be fully remembered and actualized in this one. Beautiful synchronicities.
[People seriously have to be annoyed by my long posts/diversions from the topic. Maybe I need a guided meditation for that!] ?
Vestralux... I can see you in 15th c. Italy, surrounded by much embellishment and wealth, tho very ahead of your time and celibrated. Also another lifetime, an ancient one as a Viking stands out.
Since Jupiter is in Sag now, it would be the time to launch those dreams of writing your own transcripts.... you are so talented and knowledgeable! And if your natal Mercury is ahead of your Sun, I don't see how you could resist. Leading seminars would be a wonderful high road for you... so many people would benefit from your incredible gift.
Barbara Hand Clow (the author) reminds me a lot of you... she led excursions to mystical places on the globe, like to the pyramids, and took many people with a very spiritual cast along (Black Elk, Rudy Geller... others that you might recognize) into the vortexes to seek 'keys of light'. She has written a number of books, and her work on Chiron is one of my favorites.
Sorry for getting carried away a bit here. We probably should have put this discussion in the astrology thread that you posted.... anyway, apologies to Jeanne, and thank you for your inspirations V. (very much appreciated by someone with a Sag/Virgo square too)
Stargazer, thank you for this and I'll post my reply in the astrology thread. ?
Anothrt win for Democrats in the senate Sinema wins!!
