Beloved,
Wow, these are powerful days. Starting 10/13/16; we will have 5 days of Geo-Magnetic Storms emanating from the sun… then a 5 day breather … and then 9 more days of Geo-Magnetic Storms. This explains a lot of what is happening within us and in our world. The full moon is included in this energy and it is full tomorrow night. Are your animals acting strange? Give yourself the gift of not getting upset at situations or people as these too will change.
I am so fortunate to live where I can see the water and all the beautiful trees resplendent in their fall colors. When I went kayaking, it felt like I had entered the world of Dorothy of Oz. The water was as still as glass so the beautiful colors were doubled as the water reflected all the houses and the beautiful background of fall trees in full bloom. I am used to seeing across the lake at the view there but in the kayak, I was able to see the opposite side, mine, in a rare view of mirrored beauty.
I don’t know if I can explain just how I felt when I came closer to the road that was at one end of the lake. It was like I was in a place where I could not rely on my vision as what I was seeing was in complete denial of reality. I could see the road, the bank of the lake and what appeared to be the top of the water. Yet, I could not make out where the lake water began or ended. It felt like I was gliding on what was not actually there according to my eyes. You know the expression: “Don’t believe everything you see.” It was a weird period of time where my rational mind and physical eyes were completely turned upside down. I actually kayaked very slowly to the edge of the lake as there appeared to be no water, just the trees and the road. ???? What a feeling of non-reality it is to not be able to trust what you are seeing.
As I was kayaking around the lake and enmeshed in the sound of quiet and the beauty of the colors that were being drawn out by the sun, I kept being drawn into the world of mirrors (water) where what you see is not actually real. Have you ever noticed that other people will mirror to you what you are feeling? What we see is actually in us but mirrored out to the world. No one can see in the world what they don’t have within them. If you see a quality in someone, it is because you have that same quality within you. You cannot see what you are not. When you receive a compliment it is because the other person recognizes in you the same gift or value that she/he has. When you are drawn to compliment someone, it is because you see in them what is in you so you acknowledge it. We are reflections of one another.
What an experience of my being able to see both the object and what was mirrored yet they appeared to be one. And… one was totally physical and the other was a mirror image that was not quite as perfectly formed as the original. Mirrors can distort reality where you shake your head in awe and then need to focus on which one is perfectly clear and which one is slightly blurred so the mind can decide which one is the real one. I can’t wait for the day when all of humanity is at peace within themselves so that is what is mirrored in the world. For now, find your peace and tolerance so that you may radiate that gift to the world.
Could this have been the very beginning of our confusion with reality?
This is the first time I have heard Jennifer Hoffman and I was impressed by her simplicity and honesty. She lets us all off the hook of always trying and not seeming to achieve what we want.
The Iroquois people have lived in the northern areas around Ontario, Canada and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years. “Iroquois” actually refers to a language rather than a particular tribe, and prior to European colonization, the Iroquois consisted of at least five tribes.
The soup below is called “Three Sisters Harvest Vegetable Soup”, a name that holds much meaning. In many Native American cultures, the “three sisters” refer to corn, squash, and beans – three key crops that have been planted alongside one another for over 5,000 years in a technique called companion planting.
The “three sisters” support one another as they grow. The corn (or maize) provides a pole-like structure for the beans to crawl up, while the beans fertilize the soil beneath with nitrogen (a compound that the other two plants need in order to live). The third sister, squash, grows in clusters around the group and blots out most of the sunlight, preventing weeds from moving in on the dance.
Why can we not “companion” our crops so we will not need fertilizers and bug killers thus saving the human body from so many ills? What an example these Iroquois left us. Isn’t it about time that we look back and take the good and wise examples of our forebears? If you would like the recipe, just email me and I will send it to you.
Don’t you wish you had a baby sister who could make you feel good while doing absolutely nothing. You can. You do. You radiate your love wherever you go even when you are not aware of it.
This one is a feel joyful video. Smile.
