Like Liquid

Like Liquid Fire...

We are not the dying embers of hate and fear but 

a Collective of great bonfires fueled by our ecstatic desire-filled fierce FIRE. 

Have some of us forgotten Who We Are?

We are reminded every day of our mortality and 

how our one lifetime is but a ripple in a vast lake of Eternities.

We Create and Destroy, Weep and Smile, 

Open and Close the invisible bars around our hearts...

And Yet We Fall, then, 

We RISE and 

We somehow Persevere...

This Knowing is immeasurable and insatiable...

This surge of Spirit pulsing through me...these words like liquid 

pouring out of me...

Freedom is not just Imagining but Dreaming our Worlds INTO BEing...

Where our choices are birthed from our hearts and the deep bellies of 

OUR TRUTH.

Fear not, Dear Ones, Beautiful Shiny Sparkly Stars that you ARE...

The Invitation has always been there to...

Dance Pray Sing Laugh Release Create

C.E.L.E.B.R.A.T.E.

Come PLAY...Burn Bright!

The Goddess Channeled

The intention behind sharing this message exchange is for those that have had similar questions and are curious to my responses to these particular inquiries.  This dialogue took place via text message between another fellow Leo and Seeker.  It is my hope that this aids those that are in need of assistance or at the very least you are entertained. The questions are in bold lettering and my responses are in italic to help differentiate.  Enjoy!

Q: 1 of 3

If One, with pure Bodhicitta motivation, were to access akashic records to help create a race of artificial intelligence (silicon crystals at higher etheric vibration) to help us humans manifest quickly towards enlightenment/ascension, to heal the Earth to Her greatest levels of beauty and light and to also enlighten/help her to be released from suffering....How does that person begin to understand ethics associated with revealing that info?

A: My suggestion, first, would be to take a deep deep breath. Close your eyes and root yourself energetically to the Earth. Then, utilize the energy from Mother Earth to clear out each of your chakras from the root to the crown...

Next, envision a loving and pure beam of light radiating from your crown chakra to the Cosmos. I'll share with you a visualization meditation that I do which is what I'm currently describing to you now.

Imagine you have wings and that you are flying alongside with the beam of light into the Cosmos. You can see Earth from where you are. Coming from your 2nd, 4th and 6th chakras are rings of light pulsating forth covering your entire body and coating the entire planet.

What you also notice is that you are not alone. There are others whom are doing something similar. There is an invisible grid that is obviously not seen but is surely felt. As you descend back to the Earth and back into your body, this is when you attune to your own Higher GodSelf and inner guides to seek counsel.

Usually my guides are sitting around a small fire and greet me when I walk up. We often hug, dance, sing, laugh and then sit down in a circle. I share whatever is in my heart and listen fully...as they do always…

Okay, to answer the first part of your inquiry. The Intention is key. Has ego been eradicated? Is this intention pure and of the highest good and in direct alignment with your Path? The most important thing one must be mindful of is whether we are acting for oneself or for others.

I must stress that one can only speak/act for oneself and not for anyone else (unless there was clear consent. Even then, it is still encouraged for one to speak/act for Her/His Self always). Each BEing has his or her Path, his or her lessons to learn, his or her Karma so please keep this in the forefront. To Heal Mother Earth means to heal oneself first and foremost.

How can one rid Mother Earth of suffering if You are suffering yourself?

To create a race of Artificial Intelligence is not something I resonate with because there are already so many Beings Seen & Unseen. Human BEings are perfect in their imperfection & are given the choice of Free Will.

One can choose to live the path of enlightenment and ascension or not. That is the Beauty of this Way…

Q: 2 of 3

(It happens eventually in the records and is such the way of knowing how) but.... One can't help but remember the Bible claim of the most powerful angel, who by serving the wishes of creator/god ultimately created duality.... Perhaps would that be the irony of enlightening a planet, that the duality will also echo outward to next vibrational levels for ultimately.... balancing life on all dimensions?

A: Yes, there is a need for duality because this herein lies the Balance. Shadow and Light. Life and Death. Love and Hate. Peanut butter and Jelly ;0) 

Q: 3 of 3 

Could the Bible's take on the story be of the revision which also expelled the teachings/wisdom of Jesus which empowered individuals as controllers of their own light... (Wisdom of reincarnation, meditation, inner light and vibrational geometry, living in balance with land...) If great care is used in revealing the info....?

A: Many believe that the stories in the Bible are all true. Regardless on whether they are true or not is irrelevant. What is most important is what has the reader learned? Have you ever read Another Roadside Attraction by Tom Robbins? It touches on many different themes, one of them being Jesus Christ never resurrecting, etc.

What was interesting is that regardless of whether the 'Truth' was shared or not, the People and their faith in what They believed would always win out.  So, the moral of the story?

Return to the IAM Self, the GodSelf, our HigherSelves and attune to what is True For YOU. What brings you Joy and Happiness and Bliss? Try to remove blame, criticism, self righteousness, judgement and Surrender to the Light, Grace and Love. Know that All is As It Is.

Where We Are Standing Right Now is Heaven on Earth.  Ascension is certainly important, however, Shining our Light even brighter is vitally more essential to the Oneness than anything else.

To Change the World, we must change whatever is inside of us that no longer serves our highest good so that we can Be the Change.

In conclusion, the stories we read and/or write are now a part of the Past.  Live in each moment.  In the channeled message from Bashar, I-Magi-Nation…

We are magical manifesters creating our realities.  We are dreaming the World into BEing.  We are a Nation of Artists who can collectively work together in sustaining the magic that is already so very Present, we just need to be reminded of that.  Magic Happens.  It's Everywhere.  We no longer need to wait for the Time Is Now.

Come Dance into the Bliss and Let Go.  Surrender.  Embrace. Fall again and again into the arms of 

Love and Grace.

The Money Altar

The Money Altar

Good Morning, Sweet Goddess Sistars!

After a heartfelt, inspiring talk with my friend Karin yesterday...what she shared is the end result: this particular post today.  After people around her shared their money woes and stresses revolving around these issues, she decided to create a money altar.  The results are nothing short of a miraculous, magical blob of goodness!  And, as you can see from the photo above...I was inspired to do the same!

If at any time you are feeling constricted, stressed out and/or blocked in receiving the abundance you so desire...I suggest either creating your own altar or attuning to the one pictured.  Try setting the intention of releasing whatever it is you're blocked with or attached to and 

envision your arms stretched out to receive.

What's on the Altar:

Sacred sage gifted by a very dear sister.

$25 also gifted by the same dear sister mentioned above.

A citrine crystal representing clearing and abundance.

Ash from the fire of the last women's sweatlodge.

Beans gifted to me by a gentleman from one of our community sweatlodges which represents growth, strength, abundance and integrity.

Coins from some of the countries I have visited.

Cloth borrowed from my friend whom facilitates Trance Dances.

And most importantly, words written on pieces of paper:

This Altar represents money, abundance welcomed into My Life.

This Altar is for All Sisters.

Abundance!

Energy Exchange!

I am open to receive!

To release all blocks preventing us from receiving abundance.

To release fears and attachments around money and lack.

To release what no longer serves are highest good and abundant nature.

~~~~~

As we move through and swim in the Seas of our Truth, may we ride the waves and float with the water..and not against it.  May we Let Go and Love All that IS..being mindful of what serves the highest good for All.  That not only is there enough but More Than Enough.  May we be reminded why we sit together in Circle.  That are Gifts are fully received, from the heart and given freely with no attachments.  Pure and unconditional.  Sistars, the gift of your friendship, the lifelong connections and our stories/insights/BEing are PRICELESS.  This Path that we have said YES! to is an experience that can never be replicated and there is nothing like it out there available.  Why? Because we each bring something of ourselves and each of us is unique.

It is an honor to share this space with you.

With infinite gratitude,

Athena <3>

Dear Goddess

Whilst sitting in the Garden at Shama Mama's lovely home, words began to come through in the form of a letter.  It originally was written the day of a community sweatlodge and I intended to share it then, however, when it came to do so as we sat together in the dark with the Great Creator amoungst all of us...it didn't feel quite right.  A few weeks later, in this month's women's sweatlodge, as we all sat together in a powerful Circle this poem jumped excitedly at the chance to share its words.  As we were about to enter into the fourth round and conclude this auspicious ceremony, Dear Goddess sprang forth.
As we sat in Ceremony together, an adjustment was made to address the group in its entirety.  This is the original version.  In Gratitude, Athena <3>

Dear Goddess,
I feel so blessed...
Continue to nurture me
Throughout eternity...
Help us to serve the Light
And to Live what is right...
For We Honor You, the Exquisite Grace
Which is seen upon every women's face...
As we answer the call to ascend and be free,
Let us remember that it's not just you and me...
To embrace All BEings near and far,
Brothers, Sisters, the Sun, Moon and Stars...
The two legged, the four legged and the ones who fly..
From the Sea to the Earth, the Wind and Sky...
Let US stand with the mountains, immoveable like stone...
We Are All One...blood, skin and bone...
Like the phoenix, from the ash We Will Rise...
Our collective voices singing, "Let Love Be Our Guide..."

The Goddess Cafe

One Day...

For the longest time, I've had this desire to have a cafe of my own..and not just any cafe, a Goddess Cafe featuring non gmo, organic, vegan, gluten & soy free yummylicious food and desserts. It would be THE place where people congregated, gathered and connected. The Center where enlightened souls divulged in orgasmic morsels and discussed their current spiritual practice(s) or latest novel being voraciously devoured. 

It would be a space where spiritual nourishment transcended from a 'practice' to a work of art such as tonight's dessert served in a wine glass: drizzled chocolate love sauce on the inside, a bottom layer of the special yoni berry sorbet, layered with ice cream and topped off with chopped up banana and yes! more chocolate sauce. Special chants, prayers and crystals were used. The end result? Total surrender for your taste buds and comfort food that essentially was intended to activate a mind, body, heart connection. 

Who says you can't have an 'experience' while satiating your appetite?

And if there are skeptics and naysayers present, I'd like to invite you to try some Yonilicious Chocolate Love sauce if you're up to it...for that, my sweeties, is one of the reasons why the Goddess Cafe came into fruition. :0)

The Premise:

Until a proper location is secured, the Goddess Cafe is mobile and travels within Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties.  However, traveling not only domestically but internationally is a possibility for the future. Most items are purchased from our local farmers markets and made with more love than the world has people. Seriously. 

Food is prepared and served at the designated Goddess House. Typically, The Goddess Chef chooses a theme and creates a menu. We gather together, eat, laugh 'til our bellys hurt and our tummys are filled to capacity. 

Who We Are:

We are Conscious Women co-creating and sharing our Gifts. We are a network of Spiritual BEings whom love to cook, connect, share, laugh, support and live healthy lifestyles.  We are passionate about so many different causes ranging from health, environment, politics, animal rights/activism, feminism, spirituality, and alternative healing to name a few.

Our Intention:

We feel that the choices we make and the steps we take directly reflect who we are and what we stand for. To BE healthy is to Live healthy and in order to do that, being mindful of what we put into our bodies is one of our top priorities. And we'd like to share our Love of Good Food and our hearts with You! We offer collaborative dinners, potlucks, and presentations.  Not to mention edible, educational and entertaining workshops showing you how easy it can be to eat with heartfelt and healthy intentions.

And, guess what? It's only the BEginning! :0)

For a tasty teaser, check out tonight's menu below!

Menu for 02.19.13

Theme: Comfort for the mind, body & heart

For Karin.

Starter: Kale salad topped with hemp seeds, almonds, mangoes. Simple dressing of hemp oil, apple cider vinegar, mango bits and salt 

Entree: Mashed potatoes mixed with rice milk, vegan butter, nutritional yeast w/ gypsy dance gravy (veg broth, gluten free flour, onions & garlic, herbs, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper). Sautéed Mushrooms on the side for Holly & moi because we are the biggest mushroom lovers in the world.

Side dish:  Corn sautéed w/ spinach, basil, garlic w/ the usual Athena staples (nutritional yeast, Himalayan or sea salt, pepper, love, giggles & shakes)

Dessert:

Special yoni berry sorbet: strawberries, blackberries, pineapples, maple syrup, coconut sugar, prayers/chants topped with special Chocolate Love sauce, chopped bananas with layers of ice cream served in a wine glass.

I made two kinds of chocolate sauce because Holly has an allergy to nuts and has some difficulty with coconut oil.

Holly's chocolate sauce consisted of: hemp oil, cocoa powder, toffee flavored liquid stevia, maple syrup, cinnamon, date syrup and crystal water.

The second consisted of the same ingredients except instead of hemp oil, coconut oil was substituted.

The dessert looked something like this:

A dessert fit for a Goddess...and that Goddess is You!

Rise With US

I wrote this piece because I was partly inspired by the overwhelming participation of so many amazing and beautiful individuals for the One Billion Rising phenomenon.  I was also pondering this: what can be said to combat those that have strayed away from the path of peace? What can be said to those whom have forgotten from whence they came from?

The depths of a woman far surpasses the journey to the Earth's core or to the cosmos of infamy.  We are Life Givers, Wisdom keepers, Healers, Teachers.  Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters.  We aided in dreaming the World into BEing.  The waters that flow within us connect All to the rivers and seas of Mother Earth and even then only partially contain our emotional capacity.  We live and Breathe Life.  We live and breathe Love.  We live and breathe Emotion.  We live and breathe Intuition.  We are Goddesses whom walk this Earth.  We are the Peace keepers.  We tend the Hearth of the Home.  We bring the sense of 'Home' with us wherever we go.  It is not in our nature to instinctually fight or go to war.  It is, however,  within us to protect those whom we love dearly and when instigated and/or provoked, that ferocity will be unleashed.

When we are raised in a loving environment where we feel safe, cared for and properly supported, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.

Together, in unity and solidarity, we are a force to be reckoned with.

And yet, atrocities persist. Avarice is recycled and spread.  This current reality ensues. 

I wish it were not so. Violence, rape, incest are words I hope to never utter again.  

Do not bully us.  Do not hurt us.  Do not abuse us.  Do not fight us.  Do not fear us.  Do not belittle us.

Do not enslave us.  Do not harm us.  Do not shame us.  Do not judge us.  Do not deceive us.

Do not underestimate us.

Instead…

Choose to support us.  Choose to love us.  Choose to grow with us.  Choose to evolve with us.  Choose to respect us.  Choose to honor us.  Choose to shine with us.

Choose to sing with us as we harmonize together in the Song of Life.

Choose to dance with us in rhythms that transcend space and time.

Choose to create with us a world of peace, prosperity, creativity, joy and Love.

Choose to Rise With Us.
