Significant Examples of the Mother Who Influenced My Life
As Mother's day is upon us, Iam moved to express my gratitude for the example of the Flame of the Mother my life has borne witness to. My own human Mother, a Hispanic woman from a large flock of siblings (fourteen) always provided the example of humility and a loving expression in her devotion to life. My Mother also gave to me a certain innocence and childlike quality, a natural wisdom, not outwardly sophisticated, Miss Bautista would marry an US Airman mechanic and become Bea Henry. I have fond memories as my Mother could only partially allow herself libations and liberties others openly indulged. She used to rarely drink a glass of beer, but she had to pour tomatoe juice in it. She was Catholic and used to take me as a child to church with my clip-on tie. She had no sense of fanaticism around religion. Her divinity was her Motherhood. She also likes to chew and crack sun flower seeds, which drove the Airman nutty at times. So I think I got from my Mother temperance, and tolerance and in a way she walked the path of the Buddha, the middle way. A very necessary ingredient in my development as a Spiritual Man was my Mother's willingness to encourage my independence from her. I recently spoke to my Mother on the phone and she asked why I did not call more. In a sense I expressed to my Mother she had completed the Major tasks of helping me to prepare for my life's calling. It was if my soul wanted to thank my Mother for being unique and allowing me to experiment in this laboratory of being we call life. I wanted to impress upon her that most of her mission to me was complete, that she need not worry, that she could be free to place her nurturing nature where it was now needed most. She wouldn't call it that but my Mother taught me the "flame" of the Mother, the inspiration of freedom, the expression of one's sense of duty; she encouraged me to discover my purpose and didn't shelter me from life's initiations. My Mother wasn't constantly attempting to "rescue" me from hardships or pain, though she knew to comfort. So I stood that day in a more fuller stature as a Man, as a "manifestation" of becoming a greater light and I said in supreme gratitude before my Mother, "you are my Mother, always will be that one who bore me," but I AM God's son first. My Mother gave me, transferred to me by her heart, by her example a seed of wholeness that I would come to know as an inner blueprint of the Divine Mother within myself It would be another who would come, who could clarify in me, codify in me what were the principals, the practical basis of learning what was the Culture of the Divine Mother was and how it would shape my mission. Sometime during 1993 I made the association, an outer awareness of The Path of The Ascended Masters through a lecture televised on a cable TV program delivered by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. It was both understated and remarkably inspiring. It just wasn't the significant mystical content she was expressing, something of a Gnostic understanding of the Teachings of Jesus, among the seeming paradox of Christianity and Karma. It was the tangible, emanation of Love, a divine effusive quality that radiated even over the broadcast. It was her and yet it was something transcending something that emanated with an equal presence of strength and softness. It was the quality of the Mother, but it was power too. My very being moved forward as when one experiences something significant, something that by its essence draws one in. In the simplest terms I looked upon the face, felt the vibration of one who had a great love for the divine. It was my first significant awareness of what the presence, the fullness of what the divine mother energy could embody. I would learn subsequently of these servants of the Light, Spiritual emissaries, beings of benevolence and humility who had mastered the tests of time and space, who had ascended to the heavenly etheric realms and had chosen to continue, serve our platform of evolution. Over, the ensuring months I received an accelerated instruction and training in some of the earth's history, I studied the Ascended Masters teachings how we had lived in greater civilizations under divine law. Mrs. Prophet illuminated the Ascended Masters discourses of the coming opportunities and initiations we would face during these times. The "Age of Aquarius" represented the age of freedom, but the human predicament was predicated by the actions and choices of earth's people. Many could serve the causes of light, of transcendence, of co-creating in harmony with higher law and we could reestablish in consciousness and form that which is intended on inner realms. Today we live in the regenerative period of the "Culture of the Divine Mother" and most people do not know what that means. We have before us the opportunity to fashion and create in the image and likeness of the Divine Mother, a culture, a civilization that out pictures and expresses the qualities and advancements of a Golden Age we have know before. How do we begin to draw forth, to draw down from those higher octaves of being this "blueprint", this inspiration that can transform our physical plane, the very earth body and its people? We begin in a shift of consciousness. We have a race consciousness that contains the memory and impressions of our previous incarnations in Civilizations and Epochs of living during these enlightened ages. The Ascended Master Saint Germain outlined some of these periods to Guy Ballard when he took Ballard up into inner levels and "re-vivified" these experiences and times in full, panoramic dimensions. You can read about these accounts in "Unveiled Mysteries" and "The Magic Presence", two books written during the period of the 1930's. The inspirations and impressions for this "Culture", this platform of higher existence we can manifest on Earth already exists on inner levels in "Etheric Cities of Light". Many people have witnessed to this in their accounts by traveling in their finer soul bodies while their physical bodies are at rest during sleep. This is known as "Soul Travel" to the higher enteric octaves and is not to be confused with lower, denser astral experiences that can simply be a conglomerate of human effluvia and desires that collect in the Astral Plane which also can occur during out of body experiences. Another great book that explains and describes these etheric cities, Spiritual retreats of the Ascended Masters is, "The Masters and their Retreats", published 2003. Much is in our hands, much is to be determined. The outer manifestation of the Divine Mother on Earth is to be inspired; it can be cultivated by our beauty, our sense of joy, of the fulfilling of our dharma and purpose. It is crystallization, an alchemical fire that is contained as a seed in the light bearers much like the seed of the divine mother flame that has been fed and nurtured by loving Mother in manifestation. That loving Divine Mother is in all of us, it is a seed of creation that forms and bursts in the fires of being , ever penetrating, ever expanding, that we would become agents of its expression. It is a divine cosmos aborning, ever hoping to celebrate the Divine Mother. Ever Loving, Ever present. NAMASTE!

The Universal Connection I believe in a phenomenon I have been known to call a 'Universal connection'. Yesterday one of these destined occurrences deeply affected the mood I was in and took me from feeling pretty low and depressed to feeling a joyous epiphany. Let me tell you about what happened. You see, I don't believe in random, arbitrary coincidences. My understanding is that life is a combined relationship between humanity's freewill, and the will of a higher power who I call 'The Great Spirit". I believe in a paradoxical type of destiny that is both preordained by this higher power, but also can be altered by our own decisions that we make every moment of everyday. Opportunities and obstacles are presented and then we are to decide whether or not to take any specific action relating to the situation. The Final Chapter Several months ago, I read an article about a 22 year old, successful young lady who died a premature death in a plane crash. The more I read this article, the heavier my heart became because she died in the midst of her formative years. Equally tear-jerking was the fact that she died before completing a book that she was writing -- before completing her final chapter. Right now, your book is being written -- and you are the author. Every moment that passes, every day that appears and vanishes, your pages are being written. Every word you speak, every action you take -- shapes page after page in your book of life. How you live and how you treat others also shape the pages of your book -- from cover to cover. In retrospect, perhaps the beginning of your book may not have been written well, because of mistakes, or unwise decisions -- but you can finish a bestseller. You can finish a bestseller, because you are the starring character and you, by your present and future actions, control how the final chapters of your book will read. You can finish as the winner by doing the things that you love and not taking your life, or others for granted. Start a new chapter today -- a chapter that will give you and others a delight to read. Enjoy who you are and what you do. Keep writing and live life to the fullest. How does your book read thus far -- and -- what will your FINAL chapter say? Copyright 2002 by Audrina Jones Bunton.

God has not spoken to us out of a burning bush and neither have we heard His voice as He walked in the cool of the day in the Garden of Eden. We have not looked up over our place of worship and seen the Shekinah glory of God in a visible way. But God does reach into our hearts and into our life and speak to us through gentle whispers. Quick! Throw Me A Line! I was reminiscing with a friend recently about his 'dark night of the soul' that he'd just experienced. During his pain, he turned his back on God. Raised in a traditional Catholic family he found himself very angry at God and at the church during an especially ugly divorce and custody battle. As he's coming back into himself, we've been talking and processing together through a lot of what happened and what he's been through. It took him three years to even begin to let go of the extreme rage he felt when she first left him. I had tried desperately to guide him through his hell with the help of my spiritual beliefs, but he was just too mad at God to hear any of it. His issues had nothing to do with me, but they just about ended our friendship because of his overwhelming anger at the entire world and everyone in it. The CAB Approach to Spiritual Growth I have been thinking a lot about the spiritual growth process and I thought I would share. I think that what enlightenment really involves is accepting the light that already exists within each of us and in every one and every thing. Of course we have created many layers and blockages to prevent us from seeing the light and we have gotten attached to these layers which is why clearing can be so painful. Anyway the approach I am taking to spiritual growth boils down to three things: Commitment, attitude and balance. True Health Some may ask, is there any truth to have a healthy life. I say yes it is. Let' see what the Bible says. First look at the book of Proverbs 3:3 it says Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck; write them on the table of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Now look further at verse 3:7 it says Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. It says also in the book of Proverbs 4:20 My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life. Unleashing The Treasures Of The Midnight 'O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!...'

A Crash Course in Tarot for Newbies #2: All About Tarot Decks If you would like to learn to read tarot cards, your first challenge is to choose a deck from the 8,000 or so published brands of fortune telling cards on the market. What works for one person often doesn't for another. Some people are comfortable reading several decks and others just identify with one deck. In my experience you will find that over time, you will grow in and out of several decks. You may also find that the deck that you prefer to use to read yourself is not the deck that you prefer to use read others. Satan... Im Not Impressed!
