Let me share a little event with you to clarify how I feel about "reserves" within that can protect us.

Years ago My other half and I moved into a far away community that we knew little about. We just knew that we had to be there if our little business was going to work.

I am very aware of spiritual activity that surrounds me. Also when we blend within a community others soon come to know that we are somewhat likable people, at least my wife is.LOL.

Unbeknowns to me this area was very religiously controlled by group and a local leader and enforced by some very depraved older women that were upset by the mere appearance of a guy that might just "know" some deeper things. They taught their daughters the same treachery. I never asked for this task or its ramifications but the cosmos knows who can handle and possibly change a negative situation.

I dug my heals in and the more that I did the more intense the spiritual conflict was in town. They sent me a raft of negative spiritual bilge. They wanted me gone or to succumb to them totally.

I think that they thought that they were just doing Gods will????? I doubt if they even bothered to ask Him.

This religious leader confronted me with the fact that the town was suspicious of me as they did not know what I was really about. I tried to be friendly.

First of all it was none of their damn business but total control of the area was going to be maintained by him. I had had several good women in the community who knew of his gross abuses to others and who confided in me for some reason. They wanted my help.

I would go to bed at night and feel such incredible weight on my chest. Sometimes it felt like an elephant was sitting on top of it. My other half and I discussed it and I asked her what I should do. I said that I need to have my business here and want no trouble with anyone so why are they doing this? She told me to follow my heart. I did so.

I have been skilled with at least a tidbit of spiritual knowledge since birth so I had the equipment to not only handle his many followers as well as their leader.

A very kind lady approached me at a later time to inform me of what transpired to this brood of vipers. She said that she had to have the time to gain enough intestinal fortitude to confront me. She then told me that the group was really taken down a peg or two. Within a few years that leader left his post and that negative aura of that little town dissipated.

O.K. Look at dave, what a hero, he saved a community!! Now lets get a grip on realities instead of hero worship. This is for you.

None of us needed to hear this except for one little fact that we cannot avoid. The more we rise in spirituality and self knowledge coupled with our own inner strength the more many others will view us a different or even a threat.

Some of my religious friends might speculate that if one is just very spiritually flowing and emits a gentle and beckoning inner peace that we will not draw trouble. Good luck with that one!!!! How long are we going to hold onto the world as it used to be????

Don't get upset with her here just listen to my reasoning please.

The United States is great and there are people and nations that want us to topple. Indeed we have incurred a certain amount of wrath due to some of our past actions but what is the REAL reason? Our people are still independent. We don't have to follow a certain creed or religion or reap negative benefits because of infractions. We can work where we want. We can have as many or few kids that we want. We still have many things that most other countries only dream of.

That is why we are hated.

As we rose to power in the past years we made some enemies just because we were being ourselves.

Look at 911. Certain people inside and outside of our country wanted us to be scared for their own little twisted agenda. Man will murder multitudes to just have his way.

For five centuries certain people in my family were targeted for just being us. The more independent and stable within that we are the more that many others will be threatened just by us being us.

Maybe our culture is too sophisticated to rely on what Jung called an archetype. He did find in later years, having never had a firm relationship with one, that he might have misjudged his earlier findings. Its funny when we know so very very much about theory, science, or one specific field of study that we might just loose sight of another very significant source of power.

She has trained many people who became powerful and self sufficient but even more than that are,HAPPY! Study ancient civilizations. I believe that some of them were even more advanced than we are today.

Trust as a little child does, be kind to others yet stand up fearlessly with invisible armaments when needed, go within, and see your ally. Blessed Be

Thank you, Dave. Good food for thought in that post. We certainly live in a complicated world now.

Thanks Debbie, I think that life is really very simple. It is humans that complicate things. With all of my heart I wish that we would never need any weaponry or self defense during this lifetime. My hope and prayer is that people would extend a hand to each other to where separation was just a memory and to where loneliness and despair ceased to exist.

Do you ever feel sometimes like a total SAP when you wish such perfection for people?? Its like a dream or a fairy tale and yet I believe that it is possible for mankind to eliminate division and take his place in power and contentment.

I believe that the world can be saved however it must start within each being and not outside.

So many say," Wait till our man gets in office this election, then we will get the right things done!"

O.K. We might get a better job, or be able to refinance our over inflated home, or take a little more time off but we still have to face the mirror every day and that does not change.

What we do on the inside changes not only us but the entire world around us. No matter how dark it can be at times there is an eternal light within. It can be bruised but can never be completely removed.

I believe that the day will come when we will lay all spiritual armaments down because they are no longer needed. In tears I see that this is not that day.

No, Dave....this unfortunately, is not the day.

I don't want to think too much about it because it is frightening to me, but I can see that if humankind is not more careful, more loving, more respectful, more giving, more thoughtful, more gentle....this entire planet can be blown apart. It does start with one person being better and loving who they see in the mirror, but all people have to do their part. Not all human beings at this time are convinced that being soft and caring is the way to go.

If you ask me, that is where true strength lies.....in love. The Great Mother, the Goddess, is full of love. If only we would look upon her beautiful face and lead by her example.

Hope we have for sure, Dave, and Debbie is right -- we must pick up the light when others need help and carry it on.

We are in between the fourth and the fifth world, it is a time of transition and many changes on Earth.

At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic -- the heart of the Mother, and according to Carlos Barrios, Mayan Ceremonial Priest and Spiritual Guide it is ... the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions -- it will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration.

A few of my "earth" friends have expressed concern about my particular revelation about the great Mother. They were a little concerned about the fact that people can now take that information and use it for their own motivation to try and control others. I do not blame anyone for these concerns in the least. To be honest I wondered in doing so if I was really helping humanity or not??? We conversed at length about it however as we talked we loosened up and then let all concern go. We then celebrated each other as people that really love each other and our earth as well. She is at the center of our deepest love and commune. She is Mother Earth, Mother Sky, Mother Eternal however She is not the only parent that some of us have. She does not demand to be seen or even demand any allegiance. She is just there for those who are hurting but she will answer, teach, and guard Her own. That is a promise.

One of the concerns was that some will now try and use her to promote one world religion or creed. Good luck with that one!!! Its never happened totally and it never will.Little groups like my family will rise up all over the planet. As they are threatened they will simply multiply. She will hear the cries of all people for freedom.

We talked about our cultures homophobia and the bullying of softer more gentle people with no warfare inclinations. Again we might not know Her all that well!!! She will hear the cries of all people for freedom.

We talked about how some with an agenda would rise up and use her as a dangerous weapon against a targeted group. Again we might not know Her all that well.
She will hear the cries of all people for freedom.

The greatest concern
that we had was that some that call out to her are the school yard bullies themselves.

She loves them also and she will grant what they want. Again we might not know Her all that well. They have a purpose also.

We all know the function of a grinding wheel. It polishes and buffs and refines what is being forced against it.

We all want our way, that is the human agenda. If it benefits all it will be sustained. If it benefits a select group it might have to be polished a bit. Sometimes polishing in the first stages gets a little rough and a little hot. Then as the burrs are leveled out it becomes more level, balanced, and a useful thing of beauty.

She is a MOM. Some moms have lots of kids and not all of them get along. They will in time and she will have no other way. She does not enable discord like some human moms and dads do. Try Her and test Her!! She has proven to our family that She is the love of all ages. We can fight each other and seemingly can make some head-way. Again we might not know Her all that well. Blessed Be

My family would never have survived if they had yielded to the selfish, self centered will of mankind.

Our foes sent hail, fire, and loud noises from the sky.

She has always known their hearts.


She laughs.

Blessed Be
