Listen to todays blog on the ‘I Think Speech‘ podcast

As we stand on this brink, as we dance on this verge, we can’t let the ruling fools of the dying world sustain their curses. We have to rise up & fight their insane logic; defy & resist & prevent their tragic magic; unleash our sacred knowing & let the world revel in it.

But overthrowing the living dead is not enough. Protesting the well-dressed monsters is not enough. We can’t afford to be consumed with anger. We can’t be obsessed & possessed with grievance. Our visceral bodies need to feel rowdy blessings. Our amazing imaginations need to thrive on missions that incite our harmonious unity.

We need – Truths in their natural forms – Insurrectionary Beauty that Excites our Curiosity – Outrageous Goodness that drives us to perform heroic acts of unselfish Compassion – Ingenious Justice that endlessly affirms us – Complex Freedom that is never permanent but must be reinvented & reclaimed every day, & a totally-serious-yet-always-laughing Love that schemes & dreams about how to transform the suffering & increase the Wisdom of every Sentient Being.

So I’m radically curious, my fellow creators – Since we are in charge of making a brand New World, where do we begin?

What truths in their wild state are we planning to plant at the heart of our creation? What stories will be our reminders? What questions will be our fuel?

As we bring Heaven & Earth together, as the dreamtime & daytime merge, as paradise & the underworld overlap, we register the shockingly exhilarating fact
that we are in charge – you & I are in charge – of making a brand new world. Not in some distant time or faraway place, but right here & right now.

See you on the front line of your mind’s eye…

24 April 2021 – “Speaking with the Stars“: This evening Arcturus shines about three fists left of Bella Luna. Look below the Moon to find Spica, the brightest star of Virgo.

Ascension: The Secret Teachings, The Elementals, & The Etheric Christ – Hazel Archer

Calendar of the Soul – Luigi Morelli

For those who are familiar with the Calendar of the Soul we could say that during spring and summer we follow the ascent of cosmic life, cosmic light, cosmic warmth and cosmic Word as gifts bestowed upon the human being by the cosmos. By being receptive to them we strengthen our connection to cosmos and Self.

We will briefly explore the dynamics of the year, then look at what qualities of soul we need to develop as we move into spring and summer, most particularly from Easter to Ascension and Whitsun. We will look at the verses of the calendar in conjunction with the artistic renditions of Anne Stockton and Karl König, drawn for each of the verses.

We will ask ourselves: How can we live into and grow from this time of the year? How can we deepen our inner relationship to the event of Ascension? What can we receive and what can we give?

“Angels, in the early morning
May be seen the Dews among,
Stooping — plucking — smiling — flying —
Do the Buds to them belong?”
