Galactic Center Spiritual reboot timeline

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

It’s time for a spiritual reboot as 
The SOUTH NODE is conjunct with the GALACTIC CENTER at 27+ Sagittarius now and all of August. South Node conjunct to the Galactic Center the Big black hole source of souls arriving and departing a wormhole to other dimensions.
A lot of old appropriated spirituality teachings are falling away. Sagittarius is connected with Higher Truths and its connection with the GC greatly enables us to access  Galactic information and Teachers. We need to leave past philosophies, “truths” and old maybe hackneyed spiritual teachings and ideas behind and open our minds to discover brand new Gemini North Node energy. Gemini North Node is ever inquisitive and our curiosities are piqued and peak now. It’s a new mind. 
As Planets move around in transit they aspect the Galactic Center giving us a new insight on a personal as well as a global level.

Spirituality | The Prophecy of the White Buffalo Calf Woman Materializing

White Buffalo Calf Woman speaks. My sisters unbuckle the humanness that keeps you so strapped in to all the roles that you once played.  All has changed and the cosmic merry-go-round stops in front of your door. You are a conjunction of all of your fears, your dreams, and your desires.  You are conjunction of time and space, heaven and hell.  You are the destiny of this beauteous planet that you stand upon.  You hold the vibratory key that escorts many into a place of safety.  You lift them by praying for them, by holding the warm fire light for them.  You lift them in your song, in your laughter and your invocations.

 

We ask you to embrace all shortcomings that you try so hard to cover and prevent others from seeing.  We ask you to embrace and love all the unwise things you have done and all the imperfections that you wear as scars.  For all creation is beautiful as are you.  The intertwining of the leaves, of the grass, of the wind and you is the most beautiful of all dances.  Your worth is priceless and in that precious vibration you need to embrace all the dreams that still live within your heart.  Do not cut yourself short.  Do not put on the brakes when you yearn so deeply to fulfill desires that are  but a tiny seed of creation waiting to be birthed.

 

The time to address all your fears is now.  The time to move forward wearing a badge of courage is now.  The time to dream big is now.  Do not be afraid of the predictions of the physical world, for the vibratory level that you exist is beyond the reach of what makes others so fearful.  You must believe without a shadow of doubt.  Look at your shadow and embrace every part. Every valley of woe, of death and demise you have walked through, now comes to a point of reflection and in this reflection there will be a collage of healing mirrors.

 

Do not be embarrassed by what has happened to you in the past no matter what form that took.  Every role you have played serves you well now. Every badge of courage, every fear, every shame is wrapped up in a cocoon of holy light.  Honor it and understand it.  The physical body must move forward thru these shifts and fears.  It will scream, it will kick and you will feel like you are dying.  This is all a game to keep you less than.  Walk through the fears, the angers, the disease and the lies, come to a point of complete clarity, within this clarity lives a great power. I am White Buffalo Calf Woman.

By Bevin Cohen

I’ve long been amazed by the generous bounty offered to us by Mother Nature. Even as a young boy picking wintergreen berries in the woods, I just couldn’t believe that these tasty treats were available for me to enjoy, in quantities greater than I could ever consume, and the only cost was an afternoon in the shady forest, harvesting the luscious fruits as I listened to the melodious whistling of the birds and the occasional scurried sounds of a startled chipmunk or squirrel. 

As an adult, my appreciation for Nature’s endless gifts has only deepened, and I find IMG_1408myself preaching her message of abundance to anyone willing to listen. Through my work as an author, herbalist, and educator, I’ve been placed in a unique position to share my knowledge, experiences, and passion with audiences the world over, and the core of my message has always remained the…

Pāli Word a Day for August 17, 2020

One who drinks deep the Dhamma
lives happily with a tranquil mind.

Spirituality | About Self-Love, with Matt Kahn

Self-love is the ability to be good to yourself, no matter who is or isn’t good to you. As your self-worth elevates by treating your heart to the friendship, support, honor, and validation you deserve, you become less resonant with those who say one thing and do another, make promises only to break them on a regular basis, or take their unprocessed pain out on you. When self-love is active, you are able to honor anyone’s potential, while not placing yourself in toxic partnerships from a standpoint of “what if”.

In self-love, you are able to have a point of view, establish healthy boundaries, and utilize the power of your voice — all from the graceful power of an open heart.

In self-love, you don’t need the agreement of others to set yourself free or anyone’s permission to be as you wish.

Instead, you just need time and space to align with your true essence– cheering, cherishing, and accepting your way into an unwavering depth of clarity, confidence, and inspired action that only your love can activate in you. In time, other members of your soul tribe will appear and what often calls them forward into your reality is how consistently you are willing to emotionally support yourself.

This is why it is essential to love yourself more, not less. Not just as a modality in response to emotional triggers, but as an embodied living practice that becomes as essential to your soul as your breath is for the body. And, when knowing how each “I love you” simultaneously sends blessings of light to every heart on a quantum level, you come to realize the most direct way to heal yourself and transform the planet occurs within the same heart-centered space.

La’au Lapa’au | Nutritional Impact on Immunity and COVID – 19 | DonnieYance.com

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Although statistics show that people over the age of 65 have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 and dying from complications due to underlying conditions, it appears that it has more to do with nutritional status than age alone. It’s true that the older we get, the more nutritional deficiencies we may have, primarily because of poor dietary choices throughout life.

Unfortunately, nutrition is often overlooked in favor of pharmaceuticals and other medical interventions. But diet plays a critical role in fortifying the immune system and in helping the body fight off and overcome infections such as COVID-19.

The Foundation of a Healthy Immune System

Often missing in public health discussions around immunity and infection are nutritional strategies to encourage the optimal function of the immune system. In spite of the long history and tradition of botanical medicine—supported by a large body of scientific data—herbs are rarely mentioned as useful…

Spirituality | Heartbreak and Spirit Healing

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Heartbreak And spirit healing  Aug. 16
VENUS square CHIRON
at 8 degrees CANCER/ ARIES
This is a deep heartache from old childhood family issues coming up to be healed. You will be feeling doubly sensitive and sentimental with the Moon in CANCER. If you need to cry yourself a river, do so it’s very healing.
Heartbreaks that need to be revisited and mended also need your attention now. If you take a too fiery Aries approach and don’t tend to these old wounds they will never completely heal and it will stand in the way of you finding true love.
Aries is a fiery spirit, like the burning bush or kundalini energies.
Chiron in Aries May feel like your passion has been cauterize and you are out of touch with what moves you to action. You must find the spark of your own desires buried under the pain and abuses.

Paradigm Shift | DEVELOPING A KEY TO THE WHOLE PICTURE

Presented to Humanity by the Sensei of the Soulfriends, January 23, 2017

The Philippine Islands | Not all of us shall reach Satori this lifetime, but all of us would like to have, right now, a picture of the whole pattern, from beginning to end. To guide us in navigating the treacherous vicissitudes of life. To acquire a worldview or philosophy. To have a spiritual framework that can enable us to make better decisions in Life. Or simply, because we want to know the whole Truth. Ok, I am obliging you.

Here is a key to the systems framework of the Whole Picture. It is meant to be a guide to the whole synthesis of Wisdom. I am affixing actual disciplines themselves as references (Dance of the Disciplines). Your assignment is to study and research the details so that you can fill in the gaps in your knowledge frameworks. Apply this systems paradigm in your life. Since this is Truth, may it give you Wisdom, and Compassion, and Altruism, and Peace.

Let us begin.

Let us begin to capture and radiate Wisdom, in verses of clarity and comprehension.

 

IN THE BEGINNING (THE REAL BEGINNING)

The Oneness has existed for all time. The Oneness shall exist for all time. The Oneness was, is and shall be. It is omnipresent, infinitely powerful, absolutely without weaknesses of any kind. It is immortal, and enjoys immortal bliss (Book of the Oneness, Nonlinear Mysticism Teachings, Summit of the Mountain Teachings). The Oneness Has existed for all time. But, from moment to moment (not sequential time), it may produce Fractals from its Efflorescence (Nonlinear Mysticism Teachings, Book of the Oneness, Quantum Physics, Quantum Cosmology).

These Fractal Systems will exist along three general Cosmic Curriculum States (Nonlinear Mysticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings, Fractal Physics). These are the following: Nonlinear Cosmic Curriculum, Sequential Cosmic Curriculum, and Planetary (or Matrix) Cosmic Curriculum. Elaborations on the significance of these systems abound in the Metaphysics of the Soulfriends (ANAM CARA facebook posts).

These Fractal Systems are free to explore the Cosmos in all its multipotential dimensions, and planes. The Cosmos, being a reflection of Perfection, may cause these Fractal Systems to reflect Holography to a very high degree (Quantum Physics, Sacred Mathematics, Sacred Geometry, Fractal Physics, Mandala Art). All Souls emanating from the Oneness (Nonlinear Mysticism, Quantum Physics, General Mysticism) are also free to explore the manifold dimensions of the Cosmos which is patterned in this current flavor into the system of ten plus one densities (10 plus 1 densities). This realization is prevalent in the thought of the greatest Mystics (Mysticism, Nonlinear Mysticism, Plotinus Thought, Taoism) but is currently being approached by the disciplines of Science, especially those of the highest accuracy and rigor (Quantum Physics, Quantum Cosmology, Superstring Theory, Fractal Mathematics).

This concept is obviously popularized as the “Sacred Marriage” of Mysticism and Science. But in the hearts, and souls and minds of the greatest Mystics (Plotinus Thought, Neoplatonism, Nonlinear Mysticism, Taoism) and their descendants and apprentices (Platonic Philosophy, Taosim, Jainism, Sacred Geometry), science and mysticism are One. They are reflections of the Oneness. Ultimate Reality is one. There is no difference between them. This realization is also the highest refutation of the occult and exobiological systems, which may mistakenly postulate variant perspectives of Ultimate Reality.

However, something strange has occurred in this sector of this Universe (Birth of Evil, Nonlinear Mysticism, Gnosticism). An Inceptor has gone astray (Gnosticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings). And this Inceptor has created a perverse system of thought (Dark Polarity), revolving around itself which is about to subsume (World History, Exobiology, Evolutionary Biology, Archetypal Psychology) all the paradigms of this Reality into its own twisted perspective. In many ways, this Inceptor has gone mad, to use a popular term (Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Guidance and Counseling, Analytical Psychology, Psychiatry). Many beings from various Orders of Being (Nonlinea Mysticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings) have tried to heal this Inceptor that has gone astray. The healing process is continuing to this day.

Meanwhile, some information energy essences have tried to be proactive and have recruited a being of a special kind. They have requested this being to help heal the Dark Inceptor. In ancient times, this new being that has entered the picture has been called by various names, Sophia, the Goddess Sophia, the Christ energy, the Logos, or even the Shekinah (Cosmology, Mythology, World History, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Nonlinear Mysticism). These synonymous terms all refer to a being, or rather, a group of beings from a higher dimension (correction, a higher density) who has been requested to enter this particular Reality pattern and try to heal the Dark Inceptor. The most accurate term would be the Sophia Collective, for it refers to a group of beings, and not a single entity.

On the Planet Earth at the present time, the Sophia Collective is composed of genuine Seekers, all of them displaying and radiating the Nonlinear Curriculum pattern. The Dark Inceptor has guided the development of instruments for the execution of its dark purpose (Evolutionary Biology, Exobiology, Ancient Astronaut Theories). It has manipulated the sequence, timing, flavor and direction of events in this fragment of the Universe (Galactic History, Evolutionary Biology, Archetypal Psychology, Nonlinear Mysticism) for its own dark ends and dark intentions (Oblivion Poem). It has coerced a species (Birth of Evil, unpublished) to further its agenda. It has manipulated this species for countless eons of time (Mythology). Warnings from both Epic Fantasy, Science Fiction and World Mythology abound about this fateful partnership of Dark Inceptor and Chosen Species. This species has become its absolute servant (Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Psychology). Now, the whole Milky Way Galaxy is about to be converted into Hell! A living hell!

In this solar system, the minions of the Dark Inceptor arrived thousands of years in the past (Exobiology Research, Nonlinear Mysticism, True World History). It has directed and influenced the birth and death of planets and similar systems (Sumerian History, African Cosmology, Exobiology). It has invaded this solar system and claims it as home (Mysteries of the Illuminati, Secrets Archives of the Vatican, Secret Archives of the Jesuits). This planet and all its systems are products of its manipulation, whether political, religious, financial, military, historical, spiritual, occult, criminal, and most other systems (Wikileaks). Even artistic worlds, like the Hollywood, do not escape its manipulation. It has directed the sequence and tempo and direction and outcome of most of the events in this Planet we call the Earth (True World History, Frontier Research of Exobiologists). No being in this Planet has not been influenced, directly or indirectly, by its tentacles of evil. From the poorest farmer in Africa to the weirdest nerd in Asia. From the most wayward harlot of Europe to the most fanatical member of an occult system in the Far East. All have tasted from this evil predator, which many thinkers consider the “greatest warrior.”

This theme has been repeatedly part of the warning of various enlightened systems of thought (Gnosticism, Tolkien Literature, Iliad and Odyssey, Epic Fantasy and Science Fiction, the Malazan Series, Archetypal Psychology, World History, World Literature). Awesome in its breadth and depth is the manipulation and deception created by the Dark Inceptor and its evil minions. And the minions are also in the thousands, if not the thousands of thousands (political, religious, military, financial, occult, criminal, spiritual, spiritualist, economic systems and the like). It is the Hydra of legend (Mythology, Archetypal Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, World History, World Literature). This is the Truth. This is a picture of the Whole Pattern, from a Systems Perspective.

We would like to thank the Oneness, and all our Higher Selves for making me into a vessel to receive, transcribe and share this information to everyone. And that is what it is all about.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

THIS IS ALSO THE STORY OF OUR ENEMY.

Within these insights may lie the story of our salvation, rebirth, awakening and Ascension.

Warmest regards,

Sensei of the Soulfriends

Esoterica | THE TAR PARADIGM, by Erwin Rimban

There is a dearth of evaluative paradigms to assess, test, judge and evaluate esoteric groups of all kinds. In many places of the world since time immemorial, esoteric, spiritual groups and the like have almost been free from the piercing analysis and objective assessments that are the hallmarks of the sciences. Even though these esoteric groups are conceptually different from the sciences, there is a need to develop objective paradigms that may convince us of the authenticity and integrity of their teachings.

vipāka — fruit, fruition, product, mostly it is used as ‘result, effect, consequence (of ones action)’, either as good & meritorious (kusala) or bad & detrimental (akusala)

Aññā hi lābhūpanisā,
aññā nibbānagāminī.
Evametaṃ abhiññāya,
bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako,
sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya,

One is the quest for worldly gain,
and quite another is the path to Nibbana.
Clearly understanding this,
let not the monk, the disciple of the Buddha,
be carried away by worldly acclaim,
but develop detachment instead.
