What lies beyond the veil

Its almost a sad thing to know what lies beyond the veil. 

The memories rushing forth

When you see who you really are

When you see what life is really like

The material world disappears

The illusion disappears

Love!

Only Love and Light!

...and a yearning

an aching to go back,

to leave this illusion behind

There is a reason we forget

its almost too painful to remember and know

Its almost best that we never know what lies beyond the veil.

"No, the journey doesn't end here.  Death is just another path, one that we all must take. 

The grey rain-curtain of the world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it...

White shore, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise."

-Lord of the Rings

Don't worry, its just a ride

you can choose between LOVE and FEAR

How Do You Tell The Difference Between Ego/False guidance and Higher Self/True Guidance?

From my favorite blog....

QUESTION: I have difficulty telling the difference between my intuition and my ego? The voice inside your head ~ how do you know when its your higher self (perhaps your intuition) or your lower self (ego)??How can you see and find the line between these two?? Is there a difference between the higher self and intuition??


How can you tell if your feelings and emotions are ego based or if they come from your higher conscious self ~ especially if they give a sense of need! For example ~ the need to feel appreciated, touched, loved....is that looking for something outside of yourself to make you happy and fulfilled? As we become more enlightened don't we become more expanded and elevated from our human level/human needs?

There are many questions here so I am going to break them down into sections so I can address each one.

Q: How do you know when it's your higher self (perhaps your intuition) or your lower self (ego)? I am having difficulty telling the difference between my intuition and my ego?

A: First of all, I think it is important to understand that the ego is a fragmented, fear ~ filled distortion of our soul's energy. This fragmented part of our soul (the ego) has separated itself from the LIGHT of our higher awareness/higher self. The ego was created when we decided as a group consciousness to accept the "idea" of perceived separation from God, so we could learn through the use of our FREE WILL. This perceived separation from God/Goddess created fear, and a part of our divine energy broke away from the center/truth of our being. Every thing that has ever happened to us, from the beginning of our soul's existence ~ both good and bad ~ has stemmed from the use of our FREE WILL and these memories are stored within our souls....including wounds and fears from the sometimes....

Birth as we know it

Our memory starts at birth

Wipe away the pain of our ancestors, and our past

LOVE begins at birth

Stand up, Stand tall

Change the world

The old paradigm is over

The Patriarchal Society is over

Our Mother is waking, and she will help us reclaim what is ours

Feel her energy, and have a conscious BIRTH

She's Alive... Beautiful... Finite... Hurting... Worth Dying for.

Love one another? Now this is hard, but ok I can do it!

So, I really need to starting venting my frustrations, my fears, my laughs... by all means, I am not afraid to speak my mind. I just need to put content like this out there, out here into cyber land, and RELEASE it.  So that I am no longer bottling it up inside. 

I love Facebook.  I love hearing from people, staying in contact with them, and hearing what is on people's minds.  That being said, I am friends with a lot of different people, from all walks of life and many that I "agree to disagree" with.  One good old family friend that I am friends with posts a lot of her thoughts, feelings, opinions.  And, rightfully so!  This is a free country (supposedly) and we all have a right to voice our opinions.  I read some of her posts and I must say I just have to laugh most of the time.  I disagree with her SO much.  She is the definition of the self-righteous "Christian".  Now, I put Christian in parenthesis because I love Christianity, I love Jesus, I see the beauty in that religion.  But like Ghandi said

"I like your Christ.  I do not like your Christians.  Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

I can really relate to this quote, on many levels.  Some of the Christians I have met are some of thee most judgemental people, and act as if Heaven is a special club ONLY for them and the rest of us are damned to hell for eternity.  They will do or say anything to make you feel smaller than them.  Since they have a one way ticket to heaven they feel so sorry for you because you are destined to HELL.  I posted a quote on facebook awhile back about the Dalai Lama-

"This is my simple religion.  There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.  Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."

She replied back that she was going to pray for me and that she felt very sorry for me **BIG SIGH** oh this hurt... so I replied back after thinking of many mean egoish things to say "Thank you :)  I will pray for you too, we all need love don't we?"  I feel with that comment I rose to my highest good, but my ego was very wounded.

This kind of behavior is not just a trait for Christianity, this is a human trait found in many religions and in all walks of life.  I use Christianity as an example because in my life, this is my lesson, so this is what I see.  This kind of thinking comes from a place of fear, and that is very forgivable, all negative acts are.  To combat these kind of demons, this kind of fear we must only combat them with LOVE.  It is really true when people say love is the only answer.  LOVE IS THE ANSWER to every problem.  She comes from a place of love, everyone always does.  Fear is merely a lack of love.  Judgement is a lack of love.

So, last night I jump on Facebook to see what I could see.  First thing I see is this post "Christians are still around, where are the druids, who built Stonehenge around the winter solstice."
Oh, this one cut deep.  A lot of my past lives are in Ireland and Scotland.  I love Stonehenge with every breath of my soul.  My very soul belongs there, that is home to me.  Not Meghan of course, but my real self, my higher self.  I AM a druid, I have been a druid before.  This is as real to me as the Sun comes up in the morning.  So, this hurt. Really bad.  I remember what happened, and why the Earth, Sun and Sky are no longer loved and celebrated like they were.

So, my ego started thinking really nasty, human thoughts.  "WELL missy, I know why they aren't around any longer!  Christians KILLED them all!  Or FORCED them to convert, against their will!  Witch hunts, if anyone was caught enjoying nature, they were slaughtered!  Look it up!!!! Second of all they have passed on into the afterlife!  Just like the Christians who built Saint Peter's Basilica or any of the old churches!  Its called mortality!!!!!!!  That was hundreds of years ago!  aaaaaaaaaaaaaand there are millions of Pagans all around the world!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, in fact, there are thousands of Pagans and Druids who still celebrate there Every. Winter. Solstice.

Ohhhh, I got mad, scary mad.  But, you know it feels sooo good to get that stuff out.  FEEL your pain, so you can move through and then move on.  I wanted to defriend her immediately, but I didn't.  Then I was going to post on my FB page

"Go ahead and pray for me and I will dance naked in the forest for you"

...and then I was going to post on her page "I Love You" ...but, I didn't think that would be sincere, just condescending.  So, in the end I did nothing.  Just forgave her in my heart, because, in the end she did nothing wrong.

UPDATE:  Ok, I did it, I posted on her status.  This is what I said--> "there are thousands of people that still celebrate the Solstice at Stonehenge every year. Stonehenge is a very sacred site to millions of people all over the world, and is a beautiful prehistoric monument that was built by our highly intelligent ancestors. You should research what happened in the 1400-1500s in Europe, it is a very dark time in Christian history, when thousands were tortured and killed for the smallest crimes, mostly women."
I just couldn't let this slide, it had been bothering me all day.  So, I cooled my jets and I feel that my response wasn't being too mean, just assertive and informative.... we are all allowed to voice our opinions, and so am I.

My Philosophy is Kindness



This is my simple religion

There is no need for temples

No need for complicated philosophy

Our own brain

Our own heart

is our temple

The philosophy is kindness

Water Consciousness and The Shape of Memory

Spiritual Conspiracy

A Spiritual Conspiracy

On the surface of the world right now there is

war and violence and things seem dark.

But calmly and quietly, at the same time,

something else is happening underground

An inner revolution is taking place

and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.

It is a silent revolution.

From the inside out.

From the ground up.

This is a Global operation.

A Spiritual Conspiracy.

There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.

You won't see us on the T.V.

You won't read about us in the newspaper

You won't hear about us on the radio

We don't seek any glory

We don't wear any uniform

We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles

Most of us work anonymously

We are quietly working behind the scenes

in every country and culture of the world

Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,

in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street

and not even notice

We go undercover

We remain behind the scenes

It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit

But simply that the work gets done

Occasionally we spot each other in the street

We give a quiet nod and continue on our way

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs

But behind the false storefront at night

is where the real work takes a place

Some call us the Conscious Army

We are slowly creating a new world

with the power of our minds and hearts

We follow, with passion and joy

Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking

Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~

Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites

Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways

with our own unique gifts and talents

Be the change you want to see in the world

That is the motto that fills our hearts

We know it is the only way real transformation takes place

We know that quietly and humbly

we have the power of all the oceans combined

Our work is slow and meticulous

Like the formation of mountains

It is not even visible at first glance

And yet with it entire tectonic plates

shall be moved in the centuries to come

Love is the new religion of the 21st century

You don't have to be a highly educated person

Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it

It comes from the intelligence of the heart

Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings

Be the change you want to see in the world

Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting

Perhaps you will join us

Or already have.

All are welcome

The door is open

Love

We place far too many limitations and restrictions on ourselves and others when it comes to the relationships in our lives. We depend on others for approval and an unhealthy sense of love to make ourselves feel better and fill that eternal void that appears to be inside of us. We have the fear of not being accepted and loved. But true love comes forward when we remove those defenses of fear, tear down those walls of expectations and allow ourselves to surrender to our true nature. Deep within ourselves in our heart's energy lies the true nature of love and this is true as well for everyone in your family, friends and every single soul in the world and entire universe. We are all children of the Divine Creator despite our many differences. We are all ONE. We are called to LOVE. By loving ourselves for who we truly are and by trusting our instincts and listening to our hearts we can begin to set aside the illusion of all our differences and see who we truly are.
