“Is God feeling a bit under the weather these days?”
“Is our Heavenly Father saddened by our lost of his precious other half the Heavenly Mother?”
Most of the folks who read this might be thinking at this point what on earth is this woman going on about but, that is just it! It is not on earth that I am referring to even though these ramblings do in fact end up perhaps affecting my life here on earth and likely the majority of us in some way or other.
We as humans from the beginning of our existence seemed to have always believed in something that is much bigger than ourselves, on a higher level of intelligence and more powerful which gave some form of understanding to the reasons why things happened as they did. Of course like the majority of living creatures on this planet there are two genders so the higher source was looked for above us and was unseen. Perhaps as we evolved over time we began to think of this higher being or inentity to be both male and female. We gave homage to our divine sky bound god and goddess source during both good and bad events that came in to our lives and in festivities of during the annual seasons.
Men and women walked side by side respected as equals for the contributions each made in surviving life. Menfolk were the hunters, builders, protectors and womenfolk were the life givers, nuturers as well as protectors, usually for those who were either too young or old to protect themselves.
Over thousands of years of learning to recognise the acts played out by nature and living off the earth’s bounty by cultivating the land in order to survive; we became more efficient and knowledgeable in making our lives better. Also our spirituality became organised and more separated, forming into religions based on old ways.
After a while some people of the earth decided that the feminine side should be removed and the masculine eventually filled in the empty space of the goddess. Eventually women started fading into the background and became looked upon by the men as the weaker gender more inferior to men.
I am not a feminist but I do believe in equality for women who are working in the same professions as men as well in the family home but realistically speaking there definitely differences between the physical structure and strength of men and women.
Pondering on the question “Is Heaven Split?” I answer “No Heaven is not split but humanity is and it needs to be brought back into balance through acceptance of the returning missing half of God. So, I have personally accepted the Heavenly source to be both Father God and Mother Goddess just as I did when I was five years old and gradually I am bringing my life into even balance and harmony.
Yesterday was rather a strange day for me which left me in the evening deep in thought, pondering on all the things that are going on around me in general.
I awoke from my sleep as per norm but found myself quietly blurted out to my husband that I had dreamt that my left leg was amputated. It was such a strange dream to say the least.
Saint Brigid’s Day [Imbolc/Candlemas] started out alright with the exception that I forgot my specs which I had to retrieve from home. On my return to the office where I work one of our employees was being laid off which added a heaviness to atmosphere that seem to surround all of us for the rest of the work day. I have now added him and his family to my prayers and hope that with the closing of this door another will open sooner rather than later for him. Also there is a the threat of my husband being in the same boat as well as son-in-law over the next few weeks ahead; up to six months. Trying to be in a positive frame of mind as possible about these negative situations, need to be – in order to gather the strength of encouragement to deal with emotional and mental aspects that may lie ahead.
I am going to have to set some time aside to seriously meditate for healing and direction as soon as possible…
I am a middle-aged spiritual woman; first born child of an Anglican mother and Catholic father. Even though both my parents did not practice their religious faith I was raised to believe in God, Jesus & the Holy Ghost. I was not baptised in to the faith until the summer after my twelfth year along with my sisters and brother. A year and a half later I after completing my confirmation classes I was one out of approximately twelve girls confirmed by the Archbishop of Canterbury who also performed our first Holy Eucharist. During the summer of 1989 – I at the time a mother of three was baptised in the Church of Christ in California by being fully immersed in a baptismal bath.
At school on Saturday mornings we had R.E. it was our third lesson and last class before our weekend would begin. For those who may not know R.E. was the abbreviation for ‘Religious Education’; in actuality it really was education in Christianity. Church on Sundays either at the Church of England or the Catholic church was compulsory for all full-time boarders exceptions were not permitted except if you were confined to sickbay or bed due to being contagious with a sickness or away on a special weekend at home with family.
I have always been a bit of a woodland and water being having experienced many an adventures within criteria of the woodland areas and waterways of Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Cornwall, Devon, England and Wales.
Back when I was small I absolutely loved spending time around these wonderful places either on my own or with a friend even now as I nearing 49 years I still do. Yes, I’m sure there were a few dangers but I was not aware of any living in the countryside; until something spooked me then I would high-tail it like a startled fawn running towards a place of safety. On the whole I felt like something was always near keeping an eye on me guiding me in one way or another.
I like to watch and listen to the creatures that live in the trees, woods and waterways but I do find the alligators to be a bit frightening and hinder any enjoyment that could be had in the inland waterways of which is their habitat.
I‘ve an a great lover of both these two animals the elephant and the dog and it’s the first time I’ve seen this clip - it was emailed to me a protection animals group that I’m on their mailing list.
I found it heart warming and fascinating the two creatures despite their differences managed to become the very best of friends…
This is to give some of you an insight into my being, if at the end you would like to share with me any comments you might have, it would be a pleasure to hear from you.
I would like to start off with saying that I do believe that my nature is of a gentle woman of strength and an everlasting spiritual student of philosophy. I enjoy the beautiful and simple things in life such as, my wonderful husband, children, grandchildren as well as being of resonable good health and our home.
I do try to avoid being materialistic but sometimes in today’s society it can be quite difficult with so many things available to us, the general public! If there is anything that I would greatly miss if it was no longer available – it would have to be the luxury of indoor plumbing. I do feel that I could do without the use of the television or phone and if it came to it, my car; I would either ride a bicycle as long as my health would permit and or take the available public transport. Fortunately, the choice does not have to be made at this moment and may never need to be.
Nature is something that gives me great enjoyment. I love the sounds, the smells as well as the atmosphere of vibrations that humm around me. I love to connect with trees and have in the past climbed a fair few to the present leaned on and hugged many more on plenty of occasions as well as chatted to the wildlife. No I’m not crazy…
I am and do enjoy being a worker amongst the family of light though I’ve not personally met any others so far I have connected with a handful via Internet.
As a person of compassion I felt the need to heal others some how besides being a listener so I’ve received the attunements from a Reiki Master/Teacher for level I & II and for now I am content to be at this level but I working towards progressing to the level of Reiki teacher. As a Reiki II healer I have found that the giving of treatments to others is most enjoyable and not physically draining as such. To me Reiki works very nicely combined with my spritual side of life so I feel I should perhaps answer a question for some now. “No, it is not necessary for a person to be either religious or spiritual to receive attunemnents and channel the healing energy of Reiki the only thing needed is the want and the receiving of attunement by a Reiki Teacher level practioner.
Thank you for reading my posted page here. I send you warm blessings and prayers for good health.
