This is to the few or the many that may need this in the coming days.
The spirit is like the wind. It is the most powerful force on the earth and yet is unseen by the natural eye.
Mankind would attempt to use this force to cause fear in the hearts of all but the elect. The wise already know and discern his foolishness.
No doubt there are battles that must be endured and fought with vigilance to make way for new thought. Many times there is no other way than to just "stand". To those that can understand it there is a very old saying that I will transmit as best as I can. "In a spiritual sense sometimes severing the head can make room for new thought, a new world."
Mankind would easily take these words and use them for his own concept of "winning". To threaten with physical violence, maim, and even kill is how we keep our enemies "in line". Why not, it is scripturally substantiated. Again that is how the physical eye would read the situation. Buying our kids war games is no different than serving them turkey dinner for Christmas in this time in history.
The most valiant warrior wears no armor, is upon no imposing ominous white steed, and doesn't appear to have any armaments that would entice the crowd to cheer with exuberation.
He, She, prepares for war without anger or fear but with intense contemplation. The first thought is, How to teach this lesson.
Sometimes drawing the armament is expedient. Sometimes allowing the advance and assumed victory of battle of our opponent over us is the most expedient. In his/ her preparation towards winning over us there is no contemplation of who they are dealing with.
Sometimes it is most expedient to allow them to devastate our space. Bear with me.
Allowing them to wreak havoc upon us is their goal. We allow.
We may not like the intense feeling, we may wish to lash back which if we did would indeed end the battle immediately yet we are teachers and not barbarians.
We want to escape because we are hurting yet even in our discomfort we allow to the point of completely giving up.
We become neutral and give them everything that they wish. Yes the pain may be great and we hate the constriction yet we are secure. We allow.
We have just slipped through their midst. We are at peace and their war has just began. They can no longer find us and now have but one being to destroy.
We teach not by the traditions of man but by the workings of the spirit. We are the wind. Blessed Be

I am always amazed at how the great Mother speaks through the most unlikely people and circumstances. It is usually through these seemingly unlikely sources that She does Her best work.
A lady that has been a very good friend of the family for years asked me if I believed in God. I asked her which one. She told me that there is only one. I said, O.K. how do you perceive that God? I know that she was perturbed with me at that point like I was trying to play a game with her. She said," You know very well which one that I mean!!"
I admired her courage and conviction.
She asked for it so she got it!!
I told her that I do not believe in a god sanctioned by a religion that wishes total domination of the earth. I told her that that is mans plan through the guise of religion.
The God that I know is gentle and full of love. He is not the fear driven beast that man would yield over people to cause division or control. If God is the God of truth then no damn devil has control over one speck of this creation. Its like the boogie man from when we were kids playing out at night.
If God is God then He would want for all of his own to be full of enlightenment and to be eternal!!! The reason that man cannot accept this fact is that he himself does not believe that he has any value of his own and lives in the fear that we have been steeped in in our culture. Its like he is lower than a snakes belly.
Well madam, I am not lower than a snakes belly. I am no saint, I am sometimes irreverent, off the wall, authority questioning at times but lower than no one or nothing else on the face of the earth or above for that matter.
I was kinda expecting to blow her clean out of the water and frankly didn't care at that point if it happened as I have heard many peoples description of God without any recognizable facsimile of an eternal love within that being.
The old gal fried my bacon!!!!!
She had a smile on her face and instead of fleeing she drew me even deeper into the conversation. I was a little confused at first because I could not readily read her smile. I did not know if she wanted to hug me or try to stick a stake through my seemingly evil heart????? LOL
She then asked me what I thought of the Blessed Mother. I knew that this woman was catholic.
I was about ready to go off on one of my lofty renditions of opinion but she soon began telling me about her belief system and about her "hero". I listened intently.
She said that the Blessed mother is usually thought of as a very gentle and sorrowful mother. I got impatient. I told her that the mother that I know is not always quite so gentle. She interrupted me with, "Let me finish." Then she told me that She already lost one Son and will not now stand by in this day and age and watch other sons of mothers be sacrificed by the corruption of mans deceit. She said that she is capable of going out into the hedge and picking a little switch, bringing it into the house and using it to correct some things that are out of order.
I told her, You SEE, don't you??? I don't know if she understood exactly what I meant but she did say that it is about time that someone sees!!!
I know of another lady that also believes in the Great Mother who is called the"Wife of God" in her religion. She would be shunned or sternly reprimanded yet believes that her church needs to speak out about Her instead of hiding Her for the sake of patriarchy. Women are suffering today. So are their men.
I love these ladies and stand with them because of their courage and conviction. They are on the front lines and I will go down swinging with them if need be. I just have a feeling that We shall, We shall, We shall not be moved!! Some of us don't give up, don't give in. and don't go away.
I say again, look within, prepare, be kind yet be teachable, silent, yet wise. If one thinks that we are not going to have need of this then go back to sleep or take another "hit" or pill and relax. If however you have an ear, please listen. Blessed Be

The Great Mother, the Goddess, has become an important part of my life, especially in recent months. During my prayer and meditation time, She is the only one I have asked to help me keep my connection to my dearest love, who passed on this year to the spirit world. I miss him very much, and I want to continue to communicate with him in some way, to know that he hears me, and to be able to touch him if at all possible. I've asked the Great Mother to help us make contact, and She has done so.
I remember Dave saying that the Great Mother never intends for her children to be separated, and that the veil is thin between the spirit and physical realms. I know for a fact that this is true, because since communicating with the Mother I have been able to spend time with my sweetheart for brief moments. He does reach me. I can't appreciate and admire enough the tenderness and caring from such a loving Mother. I believe that God sent my dear love to me when I needed him the most, and now the Great Mother has helped us connect with each other on another level. To me, there is no greater gift.
I wanted to share this, because with an open mind and a true belief in Her, the Great Mother will stand by you and help you all She can. Blessed Be.
