THE NOBLE SURRENDER

I posted this piece a couple of years ago, but it has been on my mind again lately. We seem to be masters of avoiding, at all cost, looking at ourselves in the mirror and seeing, not our faults, but our own glory... our power... our birthright of happiness.

Our essential nature is happiness. What if the "salvation of the world" lay in us simply allowing ourselves to be just that... happy?

What if the apparent insanity of this 3D world is really a tool we are using to pry our own fingers off of The Dream and realize who we truly are. And the abrasive mind-beatings we are taking lately are simply polishing the doors of our own perception.

"When the doors of our perception are cleansed, man will see all things as they truly are... INFINITE!" --William Blake

The re-post follows.
Enjoy!

Let us take time to revisit a great author, Richard Bach, creator of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. This excerpt is from his book Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah. The piece begins with an astonished crowd's reaction to their Master who has just said:

"I quit..."

For a moment the multitude was stricken dumb with astonishment.

And he said unto them, "If a man told God that he wanted most of all to help the suffering world, no matter the price to himself, and God answered and told him what he must do, should the man do as he is told?"

"Of course, Master!" cried the many. "It should be pleasure for him to suffer the tortures of hell itself, should God ask it!"

"No matter what those tortures nor how difficult the task?"

"Honor to be hanged, glory to be nailed to a tree and burned, if so be that God has asked," said they.

"And what would you do," the Master said unto the multitude, "if God spoke directly to your face and said, "I COMMAND THAT YOU BE HAPPY IN THE WORLD, AS LONG AS YOU LIVE!" What would you do then?"

And the Multitude was silent, not a voice, not a sound was heard upon the hillsides, across the valleys where they stood.

And the Master said unto the silence, "In the path of our happiness shall we find the learning for which we have chosen this lifetime. So it is that I have learned this day, and choose to leave you now to walk your own path, as you please."

And he went his way through the crowds and left them, and he returned to the everyday world of men and machines.

COMET HOLMES IN PEGASUS: THE MYTHOLOGICAL & PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE

Greetings.

Our ancestors would have considered more than the science of the celestial appearance of Comet Holmes. They would have called it a sign and considered its location and the significance of that location. Comet Holmes appears in the constellation of Pegasus. I have gathered some pertinent ideas regarding Pegasus in mythology and prophecy.

I will draw no specific conclusions except to say that there is a lot of indication in mythology and prophecy that the appearance of Comet Holmes in this particular constellation, is not a random thing. It is significant. These are times of the rising of the new feminine energies, the rebalancing of the masculine and feminine, a time of new consciousness or Christ consciousness coming to us, a time of the return of inspiration and the poets and our release from karma and the necessity of reincarnation.

The appearance of this sign in this particular constellation, mirrors a corresponding arrival within ourselves. As without so within. The skies are talking to us!

Some things to think about.
Vim

--------- IN MYTHOLOGY, Pegasus was/is:

* Name means “Springs of Ocean”

*Emissary between heaven and earth

*The Winged horse

*Appears upside down in the sky, rising from the ocean with half still submerged

*Symbol of the sacred king's or hero's journey to heaven

*An image of death and apotheosis [deification/exaltation]

*Born of feminine energies, of matriarchal origins

*Born of the blood of medusa mixed with sea water

*Offspring of the moon-goddess embodiment of female wisdom

*Represents divine inspiration and was the muse of poets

*The four stars make up the Square of Pegasus which was considered the gate to paradise for souls who escaped the necessity of reincarnation.

*Was ridden by Bellerophon when he slew the Chimaera [the modern word means “illusory fancy”], but did not allow Bellerophon to approach the gods of Olympus.

*Thereafter he received his permanent place in the heavens… a white feather fell to earth when he was placed there.

*Became the “Thundering Horse of Jove”, carrier of the Divine Lightning.

*Represented the Sun in Aryan tradition.

---------THE WINGED HORSE IN PROPHECY:

*In prophecy, Pegasus is an ancient sign of the new consciousness which will arrive on a white horse.

*The ancient Christians made a connection between Pegasus constellation (winged horse) with the Apocalypse White Horse which carries the Word of God Who begins to cut down His enemies with His sword.

*The ancient sign of the new millennium and new consciousness.

*Pegasus is a symbol of the time of new consciousness which will bring forth a whole new civilization.

---------OF RELATED INTEREST:

PEGASUS, ZEUS AND JESUS

We have shown the connection between Pegasus and the human brain and also between Pegasus and the practice of meditation. The Muses were born of a union between Zeus, and Mnemosyne. Mnemosyne is the Goddess of Memory.

Zeus would ride on the back of Pegasus and hurl lightening bolts across the skies. This of course simply means that enlightenment comes from God or Zeus.

The white horse of the heavens is Pegasus and the Book of Revelation tells us that Jesus will return on a white horse. Thus both Zeus and Jesus ride on Pegasus.

And Pegasus the white horse is the hippocampus of the brain or the place of memory which allows us to understand the 2nd coming of Jesus as a renewal of the mind , a new consciousness.
Not only does the Bible say that Jesus returns on the white horse (which is Pegasus, the horse of Zeus) but it also quotes Jesus as saying that the return of the Son of Man would be as "lightening from east to west Enlightenment from the right hemisphere to the left.

Jesus and Zeus are one and the same, both creations of the Greek mind of mythology to bring us to an, understanding of ourselves and the cosmos in which we live.

---------MODERN IDEAS OF PEGASUS:

*Carl Jung talks of Pegasus: "At the end of this cosmic age Vishnu will change into a white horse and create a new world. This refers to Pegasus, who ushers in the Aquarian Age." [Letters, Vol. II, p. 607]

*Symbolizes life energy

*Aquarius, whose energies rule the New Age, falls under the constellation of Pegasus

So Where Did I Go???

I am always amused to wander around the bloggersphere and find so many abandoned blogs. Where does everybody go? And here I am guilty of the the same thing.

I'm still online but have been spending my time over at Flickr.com. I've been taking pictures and they seem to be satisfying the need of speech. I often feel that everything that could possibly be said has been said already. Maybe the players are wearing different costumes but it's all the same, same, same... I've heard that at some point in our evolution, we will cease speaking and just KNOW each other through some hidden part of ourselves. It's already happening in many ways.

Anyways, I am letting my photos speak for me for the moment, and so I will fix you up with the link here:

This link will put you at my front page:
VIMSPLACE: Flickr HOME

And this one will link you to the sets:
VIMSPLACE: Flickr SETS

The sets page is probably the best way to see all of what I am up to. All of my photos are for sale. If something strikes your fancy, please let me know and we'll work out some sort of exchange.

I hope you are all doing well in these crazy times. They are crazy for a reason. We are using the craze to show us that we are more than all the craziness combined. We've been looking for us and are soon to be found.

Take care,
Vim

NO ESCAPE and NOTHING TO ESCAPE FROM...

There is no way that you can position yourself in life and not still be 'in life.'
Sadness is limitation...this life.
Happiness is still this life.
It is ALL still this life.
Limitation.
Nothing lasts.
You can position yourself in happiness but you are still here...human...maya.
It's all still NOT us as we truly are...limitless...eternal
We've got to figure this out.
And when we DO figure this out, we'll still be here in all our restricted human 'glory.'
For some reason we've chosen this way.
I guess divinity is insane!
Nothing will help.
Learn this and be free.
How does knowing we're 'trapped for the duration' help us or free us.
Because we know our efforts to get out are pointless.
So we stop trying to get out and enjoy our captivity.
Is this it?
Is this the key?
Sisyphus?
Rolling his stupid rock up the stupid hill over and over again?
What a fool!
I always say, get the heck off the hill.
Let the rock roll.
Leave it there.
Go do something real which is nothing.

TURTLE WOMAN's AUTO-WRITINGS...

FYI!
Use your discernment and by all means....
ENJOY!
Vim
-------
Turtle Woman’s Automatic Writings

Monday, 6:36 a.m.

February 19, 2007

Such good is flowing in. The doors are finally opening and that which we have awaited is finally manifesting. Joy inside. Lovely joy just springs up at the most unexpected times.

The Vanguard has done their work. It is time for them to step back and breathe fresh air. What they have come to do has mostly been done with only residuals to be completed. It is their time for rest. The seeds were planted long ago. What was planted has matured and is about to come to fruition.

The paths widen between those who made their choices to live in the Light or be in darkness. You can not change the path for another. Each individual’s Free Will has sealed their fate. Those who have chosen to awaken and move into the Light will keep progressing upwards with greater speed as the doors open. It will become easier and easier for those who have matched the higher vibrations. The doors will slam shut and lock against those who have refused to awaken or who have abused power or chosen the paths of darkness. Their lives will continue to unravel and they will be miffed.

The dark ones are panicking as the doors start to slam shut in their faces. They slander, lash out against, and attack those who walk in Truth and the Light. They continue to use lies and side-long maneuvering to try to destroy those who stand in Truth and the Light. They disempower themselves through spite and viciousness. They give away their own power simply by not standing in Truth. They do not see they are not walking in beauty as long as they are in service to self. They hide behind arrogance. They are afraid now, as their misuse of power breaks apart their very foundations. The fall from being in service to self is long and hard. They scream and moan in the Light. They are in dire need of the healing of Grace.

The situation for those who walk in the Light will only continue to improve, no matter how much the dark ones launch offensives against them. The power of the Light is greater than that of the dark, and the dark can never win the battles it launches… it can only make the Light work more and for the Lightworkers to come together more to stand as One with Creator. The more the dark ones launch attacks, the more unified the Light becomes. We give them thanks for this!

The on going improvement in the well being and lives of the Lightworkers, the Tribe of 12 x 12, does not mean that challenges and problems will disappear. It means that they will simply pass through and beyond these things quickly. The solutions come quicker and faster. The negative situations will be more intense but will not “stick”. The Lightworkers have become Teflon. Nothing hard, negative, or permanently burnt sticks – everything washes clean easily. The doors to solutions are wide open. Old stuff is clearing out rapidly. That which is dark does not settle, but simply glances off, for it is ricocheting off the Creator’s Golden Light.

Those who have walked their talk in Truth are fully protected. The dark simply can not touch them, although it is trying hard. Those who walk in Truth with Creator and stand in the Light have become “bullet proof” from any real harm from the dark side. The dark ones are attacking more and more, yet those who walk in the Light with Creator simply can no longer be harmed. The protection is fully activated, above and below. This is not by chance but the result of the years of hard work put into raising the vibrations, within and without. If you have done your spiritual work, you are fully protected, no matter what the circumstances that present themselves.

Our friends in higher places are literally placing themselves between us and all threats. They still need to be invited to assist, so call on them several times a day. Give them carte blanche to work on your behalf for the Highest Good and according to Free Will. They will then be able to take care of situations instantaneously. That which needs to come to you now for your Highest Good is coming in full force. This time of intense challenge is short in duration and will turn around quickly in the not so distant future. Blessings from on high indeed. Walk in Knowing your path of Truth and Light is true and safe. Empower yourself, your Self and your Golden Light family above by giving them permission to act positively on your behalf, benefit, and Highest Good at all times.

Embrace this beautiful, challenging time we have entered. The darkness may have stepped up their activity, throwing everything they have at the Light, but they only waste their time and energy. This difficult vamping up and revving up of intense energy means your power in the Light for success for the Highest Good according to Free Will has vamped and revved up too.

This time of the greatest yin/yang means success is at your doorstep and the door is open. Invite it in. It means the time of reaping and harvest has come and that which each and every soul has set their mind to is manifesting. The gulf between those who reap great rewards and those who fall into their own pit are great indeed. Each soul will now start manifesting exactly what they have devoted their energies to. Your best dreams are finally arriving at your door.

Take this time and fully utilize it for your Greatest Good. Let the universe, the world, the life you’ve always wanted come into full manifestation. Give permission for your heart’s desires to be fully realized for Now on. The past, the darkness is vanishing from you from this point on as you continue to rise with the vibrations and become again the fully realized Light Being that you are.

The veil is so thin between you and your Self now. The surges of pure joy you are beginning to experience are your full connections to Self with no barriers. As these surges of joy increase in time and duration, you will suddenly come to the point where you will realize you’ve been standing at One in Self and Creator all along. You need never look back again. The veils will be fully gone. You will suddenly be home again in a nano second. And you will suddenly realize you’ve never actually been gone. It will be like suddenly awakening from a bad dream - because that is exactly what it is. You are not really here. You are “there” – and you always have been…

And until the moment you are fully aware that you are “there”, that you are home again, your journey from this point on will simply, exponentially, get better and better. You will manifest exactly what you want – not someone else’s version of what they have told you it will be – improving your life with each step forward and upward.

It is time to turn it all over to those loved ones above who remained at home as our lifelines. It is time to give them permission to act on our behalf, for our Highest Good and according to Free Will. It is time to give them permission to reel us in and help bring us home. And as long as we walk in beauty, which is in Truth and the Creator’s Golden Light, the journey will only get better and better, the vibrations rising higher and higher, the manifestations easier and purer. And, viola!, we will be suddenly home in the loving embrace of our heart’s and soul’s desires. Give our loved ones above permission now to help us in these final times in the Highest Good.

The Mother has already, like Elvis, “left the building”. She moved up and beyond into higher vibration. She has left 3D earth behind. She’s been gone since this past summer. Many have not realized it yet, as her “time” and our “time” do not reside in the same “time”. Slowly, the evidence of her soul departure will become quite evident. She has moved on into her higher vibrational Light body. For many months, some of the Vanguard have felt this “hollowness”. Some have felt the deep silence within the planet in her absence. The Mother had been silent for many months in preparation for her departure and now she is gone. The oceans of this world have started to die and the decay will continue to accelerate and spread more rapidly. The trees are losing their auras. There will be more mass animal die offs. The time has come to follow Mother’s example and rise with the vibrations with no resistance to hanging on to anything of the past.

Make each new nano second of your Now the next step up, manifesting each joy, each heart’s desire of the Highest Good, each deep soul longing as you go. All you have, all you’ve ever had is the very moment you are in. Now. Make that moment your very best. Your Now. Embrace it in the Golden Light of the Creator. Your Self, Creator, and home are here Now.

Reap your reward for service well done – for service to others instead of service to self. It is time for the second wave of Lightworkers to take over.

Thank you Vanguard for bringing higher consciousness into the mainstream, for standing in the Light for the Highest Good of All. Thank you for raising the vibrations by being the lightning rod for the Creator’s Light by both maintaining your connection with Self and Creator through meditation and by implanting the Light. Thank you for being the Voice and providing the physical vocal cords to make the call to Awaken and Be! Thank you for the honor you have bestowed on the Mother Earth and All Her Relations. Thank you, Vanguard, for the great sacrifice you have made to be here Now, to suffer through the lower vibrations for this great mission of upliftment and quantum advancement for All of Creation. Thank you for giving freely of yourself without violating Universal Law by having a hand out for payment or monetary reward for your work. Your time has come to rest and to reap the true rewards you have earned on high from Creator. It is time for all your dreams to come true. Bless you one and all. Home is so very near. The veil is so very thin. The rest is now out of our hands. Each will manifest their own.

Good job. Godspeed. Our personal joy begins. Blessings one and all!

Standing in the Golden Light of the Christ Power and the Violet Ray,

All My Relations in Love and Light,

Turtle Woman, Oma

The FUTURE: And The Beat Goes On...

I have been re-reading predictions made for years past and am not too amazed to find that many did not come true as predicted, while predictions that general trends would continue DID. It is tricky business to predict the future. Even wise astrologers remind us that "we are more than our stars." We have choice and good sense to guide us through the times. That being said, I will jump into the predictive fray here with my take on the coming year:
#1 Birth-Life-Death will go on as before, but SOME of us will quit fighting it.

#2 Love will keep happening, though some of us will find it in new and unusual places.

#3 Likewise, many of us will find happiness in new and unusual places, by giving up on our old definitions.

#4 Some of us will take Nemesis' advice and see more of our life's happenings with gratitude.

#5 As a result our lives will smooth out from within.

#6 Old and useless aspects of our lives will continue to fall away.

#7 We will let some friends go, but we will find new ones that are better suited to who we are becoming.

#8 Some of us will finally travel while others will finally get to stay home.

#9 The grass will continue to grow and we will continue to mow ;-)

#10 Some of the well will get sick, some of the sick will get well.

#11 Angels or a facsimile of such will continue to watch over us.

#12 Renovation of the world will continue and we'll quit fighting THAT too.

#13 Many will upgrade and be happy about it.

#14 Many will downsize and be equally happy about it.

#15 Ideas and thoughts will flourish but some of us will take them less to heart as we continue to learn to think for ourselves.

#16 Healthy dis-ILLUSION-ment will continue as we rely less and less on what we BELIEVE and rely instead on what we KNOW.

#17 Many will FIND themselves, unless, of course they LOSE themselves.

#18 We will continue to beat loudly on the doors of our own souls in an effort to wake ourselves up and some of us will succeed.

#19 Some will quit looking for the answers where they AREN'T.

#20 Many will FIND The Answer where it IS.
All in all, I think we're gonna be OK. And we will meet back here again in a year and compare notes and find that we are making it through the changes as well as can be expected. Some of us will even thrive. So HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and may your year bring you all good things for the BEST kind of world we can construct.
Everything's OK.
The Beat Goes On...
