We Begin with the Beautiful.
What we truly crave and long for in life is a demonstration of the beauty that mirrors and reflects the lost Paradise within.
Our current cultural mythology is suffering from the last two great taboos: The knowing and living from our true Self that is the only constant in life and aesthetic amnesia– the loss and repression of beauty in every aspect of personal and cultural life.
Revivifying and living with Soul is the center of a sacred life and is truly the highest calling. Appreciating and creating beauty is the sine qua non of a sacred and soulful life where art and reverence are the basis of everything we create. We have it backwards in placing technocracy as indispensable but beauty as just an accessory; a luxury rather than a need for soul to thrive.
Autumn Equinox falls in the month of libra a time of balancing the scales and equalization of light and dark energy. A portal opening for walking into new and unknown territory. A time for asking dangerous and beautiful questions:
What is presenting itself to be seen into and released and what is asking to come forward actively in my life?
What is the most important thing to me? What do I truly value in life?
To clear the artifice and “authentic fake” self and live into my authentic nature am I available to the Silence and listening?
Do I realize Wholeness is already here now and is my True Nature? Therefore, do I demonstrate from wholeness or from lack?
Am I taking total responsibility for my S.O.B (state of being) and level of consciousness realizing I contribute to the vision I have for the world from the soul qualities and Presence I bring to every moment?
Have I looked deeply enough into the paradox of living from both the celestial and terrestrial self (my eternal true nature and the temporary body/mind self and come to terms with which I align with, yet including both?
Can I see how the primary task of our “Age of Consequences” and the “Time of the Great Turning” is to live from deep soul and heart, to both uncover soul in life and simultaneously bring soul into every aspect trusting in our deepest interiority the radiations emitted from this understanding are powerful to change the field in the world.
THE 5 NATURAL SANCTUARIES:
- Space
- Simplicity
- Solitude
- Stillness
- Silence
Do I allow myself the necessity of the Natural Sanctuaries for contemplation and imagination to show and guide my life without need for outer authorities to know what is best for me?
Am I the author (authority) of my life as creator/co-creator?
Can I take in the fact that I am truly the artist of my life allowing my genius and life vision for self and world to emerge in my daily life?
