How do we find ourselves? Our passion? Our purpose?

These questions often come to myself and my friends and is often a topic of discussion. The answer hides behind unfortunate circumstances which are usually self-induced. It is the external remedy which is the bandage, covering up the wounds which are deep inside. Coming to the realization we are wearing a bandage is the hardest to realize because we have to admit we are lying to ourselves, pretending to be something we are not. We have to admit we have been tricked by ourselves into believing the wound is someone else or an experience, pointing the finger at others is the ego at work. We have our belief system which we are convinced is true is actually veiled in half-truths and outright lies. If there is to be any truth found it will be in self realization, the wound is not on the surface. When we look we often do not see it, this is no fault of our own, often knowledge is hidden in plain sight awaiting the conscious mind to WAKE UP. Asking question starts this process. To ignite the flame one must strike the match with intention of progress. What do you see? Where is your focus? Look within…

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.” Gospel of Thomas

I am not here to tell you what to do or what to think. I feel to share my thoughts and if you choose to ponder them and offer your time and contemplation you may find keys. The only keys I have found were done so with time and many hours, days and months of contemplation. Spiritual growth is like a garden which needs tending, weeds will come, water is needed. Peeling the layers to find the roots of our inner chambers shows us dark places. I ask you now as a friend to take a candle with you. Hold this flame in the darkness and watch the blackness flee. In one hand a symbol of virtue and the other a symbol of vice and within this stillpoint we find our resonance.

Certain people come into our lives to teach us and these interactions should not be taken lightly. We do not need to understand the whys but rather we need to understand they have come to you and they are choosing to be a branch on your tree. Learning from others allows the mirror to reflect. Nothing can be accomplished without internal reflection.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.Confucius

Take all your uncertainty and questions and flip the hourglass to the progression of self-reflection. Each chemical reaction you partake in is the experience the stars embrace to shine their light. Shine now and forever my dear friends.

Compassionately,

J.R.

We woke up not knowing…. so we decided to follow rivers
We lasted until the new season came calling

Seven sisters allowed the conduit to awaken
Memories reminisce as time slips away

Torsion fields of flowering fertility beckon to the battery
Energy scent ignites the maker

Stargates open from the heart center
Travelling across dimensions into the fabrication of the mind

How did we lose the map?

The stars look down, and we look up
We look down and they look up

Triangulate and you will find
Tessellate and we will create

Conscious minds come together
Brave hearts sing together

A new season approaches and we follow rivers
Into the Mind…leading us to the ocean

Consciousness Universal Shift May 12, 2015

I was speaking with a friend about the need for acceptance in society. When someone remembers your name it makes you feel good. You may have only met this person once and this simple act of remembering your name ignites a feeling of comfort. In these simple acts of remembering a name you allow someone to feel as if they belong. Now you may be thinking this is no big deal. I assure you it is a big deal, a big idea. This act of belonging is a feeling more of us need, as the consciousness of the planet increases in awareness this feeling of belonging will become paramount. We as individuals are part of the collective consciousness which is embedded in the universal matrix of reality. Each thought reverberating the cosmos. The wave of consciousness is inevitable and change perpetual. The direction of the “wind” dependent on the thoughts of you and me.

The universe has memberships for all, as long as you have creative imaginative will. Use this gift and see the beauty around you. See more than a friend across from you. Take a moment and see a star flickering in the night sky. How honored to be so close to light when having a meaningful conversation about life. This may all seem monumental yet here it is…starting with the remembering of a name.

Compassionately,

Incessant Instance April 25, 2015

OH what can we find in the mud of dreams?
The stardust fills the mind with stomach lust
Where the foraging of magic mushrooms pollute reality, fabricated consciousness
What is real? how can you find the unreal? and see the unseen?
The poor boy cries as he sits and wonders, what has BEGUN?!
Nothing has been taken from the fortitude of fortress
Taken to the light of soul catching control
Believe what the ear speaks and you will fall
I saw an angel die, fast asleep only to awaken
Then to begin building a magnitude so vast the trillion stars lost count
Incessant instances into incoming inspirational inoculation~.~
Clear the mind to see the crystal dreams waiting to be immersed in

Talk to me… March 14, 2015

Have you ever sat with a friend and had a real conversation?….not about their job, politics, current events or relationship status. Rather to actually sit down with the intention of knowing them to the core. To understand them, not prescribe to their belief but entertain them. To try only for a moment to feel what it is like to be in their shoes. Not acquire them or feel sorry for them but see them. To think WITH them, not for them. To know their dreams and aspirations and watch them light up as they tell you. To truly know someone we put ourselves aside to listen, and listen with intent. When we listen to our friends we might be surprised at what we see and not only what we hear.

The torch is as heavy as your might
The distance is as far as your perception of sight
The road is as rocky and dark as the blinding light
When the riddler comes looking for answers remember a riddle is only as clever as the one who originated it

Know the mind to get out of a bind and look to the rock to set free the lock

Look to the circle and you will find

The circumference is whole, radius in us

There must be two

Numbers speak to the heart and mind

Patters are here and over there

Up above and down below

Planets and Stars, chemicals too

Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Carbon and Phosphorus

They dance together and so do you

DNA sings the tune and forms the basis

Electrons,  protons and neutrons too

The iron blooded beast is a magnetic force

A canvas  painted by the articulate artist

Looking in the distance solar winds and the hounds of hell

Transmutation in the roots

Folklore whispers of the time to come – carbon can change

You cannot run nor can you hide

Destiny as the rivers inside

YOU are the translator

When does the heart see?

When does the formation realize the aptitude?

How can realization formulate an equation?

How then can you solve it?

What is the answer?

The numeration swings from numerator to denominator

Each point a crux on the human body

A line can be drawn

Square the Circle

The creation built within the vibration of core centrics

Chemical reaction frequency upbringing

Electric impulse supernova

Flesh brings the goose – bumps

So when does the heart see you ask?

When the SKY brings the words…

Ode to Medusa July 31, 2014

The other day I got into a heated discussion with a friend . It was in regard to the “New Age” belief system. “Everything is going to be okay! just think positive!”

Some friends say just ignore the negative. For me this is the moral disintegration of our mental faculties.

“To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.” MLK

“Don’t get so upset, just think positive and never get angry” – Some things should make you angry in order to instigate responsible and integral ACTION, singing songs all day does not help, action is required.

I know this may be coming across as brash but please know there is a concerted effort to manipulate your mind, to control what you think and how you think it. There is a difference between good and bad and some people really do believe they are the chosen ones. So what do we do? We need to understand ourselves “Nosce Te Ipsum” – Know Thyself –

Through this process we start to see the inner demons are within. Some of us are popping pills, doing drugs(abusively), drinking alcohol(abusively), constantly complaining, and pointing the finger.

HIS FAULT – HER FAULT.

I used to be like that, always pointing the finger, until one day. I was at a very vulnerable point in my life and had a realization.

After all the finger pointing there is only you, what are you holding onto? I asked where is my focus? The power of thought has mass but it is weightless without action. We can not do it on our own.

Tell the people around you how much you love them, they are in your life for a reason. Believe in them because they believe in you.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton

See with your heart – Believe with your mind July 16, 2014

I have had many discussions with family and friends about my writing being so “coded” and hard to understand. Their argument is why make it so hard for everyone to understand the message? My point has always been and will always be this “The message which is perceived by the individual is meant to be unlocked by their intent through intellect and intention.

“See with your heart – Believe with your mind”.

I believe this is how magick is created and understood. When we come to a real epiphany we change our outlook and this change cannot be handed to us, it must be sought out and discovered. This process is painful and joyous, how can this be? Paradigm walls which take a lifetime to build can come crashing down, how honest are you willing to be with yourself? The Alchemist asks this question as he seeks to transform iron into gold.

I would like to share something I read recently…

“He looked to the heavens and saw the crescent. Oh how beautiful and majestic, Oh what a sight!

Let us go to a conversation once had, with a warrior named Thor, the valiant and true. The protector of mankind and the holder of thunder which speaks truth from the sky.

He resides in one of the nine, Aesir to be exact, where he judges from the TREE.

In testing Alviss “All-Wise” he asked the question, a most poignant question it was indeed

And thus the answer came…

It is called the “moon” by mankind, “fiery one” by the gods, “the whirling wheel” in Hel, “the hastener” by the jötnar, “the shiner” by the dwarves, and “the counter of years” by the elves (Alvíssmál, Stanza 13)

But you see this conversation did not end well for dear Alviss for he was blinded by the light. The deceiver of Dvalin ended the wise.

The fiery one glows above thy head forming the most perfect star.

Magic dust of perfect ratio, some may say, enable’s one to fly. So take what is within, and hold your mighty weapon. Thor was given a Hammer, belt, and iron gloves, made by the Gods.

With your device you may wield the winds, fire, earth and water.

The true Ragnarök has come.

Oh divine, I embrace you now.”

The word Ragnarök as a whole is usually interpreted as the “final destiny of the gods” Simek 2007, p. 259

http://viking-mythology.com/ragnarok.php

The dragon depicts the wind(wings), fire(ability to breath fire), earth(claws to dig into the earth and climb mountains) and water(scales to swim) – with this you gain the 5th element which the mystics taught in the mystery schools – ETHER OR AETHER  a “medium that in the wave theory of light permeates all space and transmits transverse waves” A profound thought permeates the restricted material and penetrates in the form of inspiration, the vibration of speech or music are waves bringing form, is it light?

“The scientists that place doubt in the existence of Ether have no scientific basis for their theories. Indeed, they just play with words, with terms, because instead of the term Ether they use the term “radioactivity” or a “magnetic field,” etc. So, these other terms neither take away from nor give to the reality of Ether. In any case, their doubts, analysis, and change of terms will only serve them to study that which is called Ether. Most of the time, people fight only for the question of terms of words, etc., etc. Yet, in the final analysis, what counts are the facts, and the facts are facts. Russian astronomers have discovered, with their powerful telescopes, worlds in a protoplasmic state. These protoplasmic worlds have come out from within the Ether. We can accept, by simple logical induction, that Ethereal worlds exist. Maybe some scientists will not be pleased with the term “Ethereal.” However, the term is of the least importance. The importance is the fact. Every world, before becoming protoplasmic, exists in an Ethereal state. The great Hindustani scientist Rama Prasad stated: “Everything comes out from within the Ether. Everything returns into the Ether.” If protoplasm emerges from within the Ether, then we have to accept that the Ether is in the vital depth of everything that exists.” – Samael Aun Weor

                                                                                                                                                  

“Know all things to be like this:

A mirage, a cloud castle, A dream, an apparition,

Without essence, but with qualities that can be seen.

 

Know all things to be like this:

As the moon in a bright sky In some clear lake reflected,

Though to that lake the moon has never moved.

 

Know all things to be like this:

As an echo that derives From music, sounds, and weeping,

Yet in that echo is no melody.

 

Know all things to be like this:

As a magician makes illusions Of horses, oxen, carts and other things,

Nothing is as it appears.”

-Samadhi Raja Sutra

 

Seek to understand and live to love.

Where is your focus?

You are whatever you say you are.

Compassionately,

J.R.
