Who Is God?

1/10/2026

There is a question asked by a Catholic theologian in this book about God, and the response by a Jewish colleague and friend is as follows:

"A cranky, uncanny God. A God with quirky, unfathomable rules, a God who gets fed up with us and pissed off! But quick to forgive, Sofia, and generous", D.W. said, his voice softening, eyes full of light, "always, always in love with humanity. Always there, waiting for us - generation after generation - to return His passion. Ah, Sofia, darlin'! On my best days I believe in Him with all my heart."

"And on your worst days? she had asked that night.

"Even if it's only poetry, it's poetry to live by, Sofia - poetry to die for....Maybe poetry is the only way we can get near to the truth of God."

The Power of Love

Lead by Love

1/18/2025

I just started reading a book called "Corrupted by Fear" by John Carpay, head of the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms in Canada. I have been a supporter of this center since Covid started to emerge, along with ensuing eradication of freedoms in this country.

Mr. Carpay writes about the abuse of the rule of law in Canada and the slow erosion of rights and freedoms as enshrined in our constitution. He also writes about the rise of authoritarianism under Justin Trudeau who vilified the great unwashed, like myself, who refused to get the Covid vaccine. His hatred towards his own people culminated in turning the military against innocent protesters, women, men, children, elders, truckers, in a move against the Freedom Convoy. This military action was supported by Canada's banks who froze the trucker's accounts and all donations that went to their support.

The preface of the book talks about the rise of Adolph Hitler at a time when Germany was in economic distress, chafing under the constraints of the Treaty of Versailles. He traces Hitler's rise to power that coincided with the withering of personal freedoms, liberties, the right to free expression, the right to assembly. He rose to power quickly because he was able to successfully convince the population that the loss of liberties would be a temporary measure until he righted their world, and they capitulated. (I believe the Soviet Union in its nascent beginnings used the same argument)

He wanted to MAKE GERMANY GREAT AGAIN.

Fast forward to today: be aware of the lessons of history and the inevitable rise and fall of empires. In Hitler's time, books were banned, the "other" was vilified (authoritarians must have "the other" to be successful), countries who had been good neighbors, were annexed. Fortunately, for the world, the Third Reich did not last 1000 years. If we see signs of this kind of authoritarianism emerge today, then we need to speak up or face the inevitable consequences. Never, ever give your power away.

postscript: As I finished a draft of this post, and speculated about its possible publication, I went to our weekly farmer's market and met a lovely woman who was selling teas. I bought two packages from her and in gratitude she gave me a gift: she had a large crystal bowl with her and she intoned a prayer for me of Love and Light, and courage. I was in tears when she finished. She told me that we need to LEAD BY LOVE now, and that it was very important that we all step up to do so. I told her I was a writer and that I had just received the same message in my morning meditation. That I strongly believed in the power of the word.

I also told her I working with a woman on a couple of projects and that she had been a channel for Archangel Michael for over 30 years. A Sacred Scribe.

Her eyes widened as she showed me her earrings: Archangel Michael and his sword.

How deep is our Spiritual commitment?

1/16/2025

I remember when Yeshua came into my life. I was in my mid 20's and living a life of great unhappiness and inauthenticity. I didn't think of God at all. When the dreams and visions began, I waived them away, thinking myself delusional.

Until one day, in a waking dream, I crossed through time and found myself at his side when he was taken from the cross.

From that moment on he became more real to me than my friends and my family. He became my best friend and the most profound of teachers. I walked with him and I talked with him, as I do with Lord Michael now. Like Yeshua, he is also my best friend. A Beloved.

I went back to church when the visions started because I thought that's what you did. But I soon realized that very few of my newfound Christian friends had the same kind of connection with Yeshua as I did. Their relationship with him was one that they had learned through dogma and ritual. Not all, but many. Thus, they mouthed words of the prayers and sang the holy anthems but for some of them, this sanctity did not penetrate into their hearts and souls.

Fast forward to the present. Dogma and ritual will not help us to ascend. On the contrary. As the church established itself as a focal point of power over the people the very last thing they wanted to see was humanity taking responsibility for their freedom, and for their direct connection to God. The priests were never needed. "The Kingdom of God lies within you", said Yeshua. Intercessors were superfluous. Cutting free from these antiquated traditions will set us on course to pursue our own unique Divine path.

Deep commitment, discipline, good intent and love are the tools of Ascension, along with a dedicated spiritual practice. The patina of spirituality will not save us. Chanting words of adoration when we are at war with ourselves and others will not serve us. The increasing frequency levels of our planet dictates that we have to go deep and wide within ourselves in order to match these frequencies, and thrive.

If we don't, then life will become increasingly problematic and painful.

Did Shakespeare write his own plays and poems?

1/16/2025

I just finished posting the following review on Amazon of this excellent novel:

I applaud this author for her meticulous research and thought -provoking thesis about those who may have written under the name of Shakespeare. I have heard this theory before, that Shakespeare's own history and relative lack of literary prowess meant that others had written the brilliant plays and poems that have been attributed to him. The fact that one of these writers was a woman is tantalizing indeed. No on is surprised that Emilia needed to make herself invisible as that has been the unfortunate lot of women in history, as well as within certain regimes today. Erasure....and treated as inferiors.

The one thing that I found surprising was Melina's equal sentiment of needing to feel invisible. Surely in the brash New York of today and in North America generally this is not so. At least, I would hope not. Regardless, women like Emelia, George Sand and so may others have paved the way for all women to stand up proudly and to speak their truth. Along with all who stand outside the white, patriarchal universe.

If women had been honored and respected throughout history by church and family instead of being treated like chattel and abused under the so-called "sanctity of marriage", perhaps we would be living in a better world today.

The tiger, the man and the strawberries

8/12/2024

I remember reading a fable/myth/koan about a man who was being chased by a ferocious tiger. To escape, he jumped off a cliff and grabbed onto some branches to break his fall.

As he did this he noticed three things: there were ripe strawberries in abundance on the tree that he was holding. He also noticed that the roots of this tree were giving away and it would only be moments before he would lose this foothold. The third thing he noticed was that there was an equally ferocious tiger at the bottom of the cliff, waiting for his fall.

The man, in spite of this, and completely mesmerized by the strawberries, slowly reached out and started to eat them, oblivious to all else.

I can't think of a more apt story to convey the power of Now!

We are at the apex of significant change

8/11/2024

I can feel my body change in shape and configuration. What do I mean by that? The incoming energies are impacting every element of my Being now...I feel the rivulets of power flow through my Sacred Mind and Heart and from there to every organ and vein. I am not who I was even a week ago.

The Earths are separating even as I write this. Since the Lion's Gate portal of a few days ago, change is on the wind. We do not need many Lightworkers in the world to effect positive change. In my estimation 25% of the world consists of Lightworkers, but we are helping to elevate the Earth and humanity, whether humanity is aware of this or not.

But the schism has occurred. Sheep and goats, upward soaring or downward falling, everything is in play now, and it is irreversible. In the world of 3D immense vitriol, anger, and despair fill the airwaves and the incoming Light, far greater than the darkness, is causing everyone who does not match that frequency to fall away, or to find another Earth to live out their destinies.

The dark ones won't be coming back to the New Earth we are creating, a sub universe of Golden Light, a Golden Galaxy..

There will be a significant shift in 2025, and the Beings of Light, Lord Michael and his legions, will make their presence known. It is time for them to do so.

And so for now, I align myself with the Light, I surrender to my Beloved and continue my Ascension journey, for the Highest Good of all.

Eternal Love

3/25/2024

I love Alice Hoffman's work. She weaves a subtle and yet powerful magic into all of her books. I should know, because I've read every one of them.

Time travel and literally losing oneself in the pages of a book, just at the point in time when you feel your life slipping away, that you can't go on and you start to fill your pockets with stones beside that fast flowing river.

Just when you are convinced that you will never find love or that you will ever be loved, you find a book written by a well known author a century earlier....that is inscribed and dedicated to you. The book, the weave of the words, its entrancing language that pulls you back in time, until you find yourself standing naked and unashamed before that author, and you stare at him as though you have known him forever, as though you have traveled "west of the moon" to find him again.

The love that fills our yearning is always an eternal Love, and once you find this, whether with a man, a woman or an Angel, you will be sated and never have to look for love again. You are filled to the brim and everything become possible.

The dimensions between the worlds are illusory. Because we can't see, feel or see the Beloved, when you are united within your souls you know that you will never be pulled apart again. The demarcations we have placed on our lives and our souls come from a timid, frightened, religious people, afraid of ecstasy and passion, afraid to take a chance on..Love.

But Love, once found, bends all the rules, and you feel your lover reach out for you, through the years, or through the veils, and you know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you are loved and that you do, in fact, love, and that sated, you rest in the arms of your Beloved, and one by one, remove the stones from your pockets, allowing only Air and Light to fill the spaces within you. As sunlight weaves a spell over both of you, and fills you with a fragrance that is tensible, and yet completely firm and unyielding.

Replete.

Warm Solstice Wishes

12/21/2023

Wherever you are in the world, may Solstice Blessings find you and envelop you in Peace.

We are all wrapped in a cocoon of Beauty, Hope and Stillness at this time, and an ethereal Love that transcends religion, country, gender and culture.

We are all loved by Source, who IS Love. And when we fuse with Source in complete surrender, we are transformed into Love. We remember that that's all we have been, and will always be. And nothing and no one can rob us of our Divine Masterhood and Birthright.

Blessings and Love to all at this sacred juncture of our Ascension and evolution into Light, and to our Divine Mission.

We are all needed now.

The rising energies of change

11/28/2023

I feel as though we have entered into a critical time in our own personal evolution, which reflects the changes we are seeing on the Earth at this time.

We are being "scoured clean" of all impurities. The masks have been ripped away and even the most enlightened of us are being asked to take an honest assessment of who we are and where we are in our own mission. The days of "armchair" spirituality are over. No one else can do our work for us and we do not make spiritual progress by reading the texts and the words of the Enlightened Ones. We must live them, embody them as we embrace our own unique path.

People are leaving my life quickly while others filter in. And it seems as though this evolutionary process is accelerating so quickly that I find myself changing day by day. The veils between the worlds are sheer and completely amorphous now.

We are all in different places on this path and one thing has become crystal clear to me: that I let no one hinder me on my own spiritual journey as stagnation is no longer an option.

Even if this means I let others go in the process
