Here and Now...What's Happening?

[yukondiva]

Today as I drank my coffee, I was surrounded by white butterflies, so I thought I would share this with the group:
According to some ancient eastern traditions, the universe is cyclical and so is life on Earth. Each cycle that the planet goes through, a new consciousness is born, as life is always evolving.The human consciousness belongs to the physical world – it is said to be the result of millions of years of evolution from minerals to plants, from plants to animal, and from animals to humans. The journey of the consciousness aims at the reunion with the Source, also called God in theological symbolism. This means that at each new cycle, the consciousness is closer to the divine.The butterfly represents the next step in the human evolution – the transcendence of the physical world. This is when humans, having achieved a higher level of purification of the soul, will become heavenly creatures.So, the transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly symbolizes the human beings abandoning the lower passions that make them attached to the ground and finally merging with their true divine nature.

And that my friends is how I feel like a butterfly emerging

That was hilarious Astrid. The beatles and the owls were indeed a trip. Loved the Chimp Alien Narrate too.

Today was not easy, not at all.
I did my best with what I considered a 'damned if you do- damned if you don't' situation.
But with everyone's help it became a win-win.
Let's hope it stays that way.
No more 'I win-you lose' stuff.
Everyone a winner.
A new dawn.

For me?

what i do??

So....if I want to say "Stop!" or at least "Slow Down Already!" to the Universe, which words would be the wisest choice....

Hmmmmm.

Nope. I would never want to slow or stop it. So the verbage is...

We Rejoice in the Love and the Light and the Unity of the One Infinite Creator.

We are Grateful for Its Energy and Its Peace.

Yup.

and, well, also taking a walk around in the trees and pasture-yard sure doesn't hurt

Like I haven't waded through enough crap in the last 5 days, tomorrow I have a fun little chore ahead. I get to square off with the Man. Not the Man of the 13 bloodlines, not the Man of the Corporate World, the Man of Education. Greedy and dishonest. Just like the sign says, don't be looking for any exceptions to any rules. Blick. Just plain blick.

I will be wrapping myself, my children, and all our villagers in my wings tonight. I am envisioning the kind of win-win you had today, Ulli. And, yes, may it last.

Much Love,

[WhiteFeather]

The color white is the highest ranking color that was worn by the Essenes when they reached spiritual mastery. Wearing this color signified mastery of spirituality and enlightenment. In her book " Jesus and The Essenes" by Dolores Cannon, it is mentioned i believe in the beginning chapters. Christ learned alot from the scriptures of The Essenes. As Christ also wore white. Yes we are like the butterfly in many ways with respect to our spiritual growth. Thanks for sharing this post. I enjoyed the verbage.

Peace......

Hmmmmm.

I would recommend the German imperative. It works. "Pass auf!" or "Hor auf!".

However, the wisest choice might be, "geh weiter!"

Just let that thang roll on and go with it........

This is where it gets interesting.

Yukondiva probably is not aware yet that the one of the greatest experts on the Essenes teachings spent his last days and was buried in Orosi, less than 1/2 mile from where she lives.
Thanks for bringing up the Essenes, Whitefeather. I see a connection happening here.

From this site: http://www.thenazareneway.com/essene...e_infinite.htm

"Nevertheless, I and all who treasure his books are luckier than most who lose a loved one. We have his works, the magnificent outpouring of one of the greatest minds of this century, and perhaps of all time. His books will always be with us, and in his books, he lives.

And we must do our part to practice what is in this book, not only read and admire its beauty. He could not have given us a more cherished parting gift than the knowledge and esoteric wisdom hidden in these Communions with the Holy Streams of Life, Sound, and Light. Behind their seeming simplicity lies an unknown realm of Truth and Reality that Home for which every Essene Wayfarer longs. We have a sacred duty to follow the Path which he so faithfully followed all of his long, long life.

Listening to a live soundboard of John Coltrane, 4/2/65, at the Half Note Club in NYC, the song Afro Blue. This youtube video is from March or May '65, which is pretty close to the April SB I'm listening to. Coltrane, you set my soul afire!
