You know those people who seem to talk all the time? Why do you think they do that?

It is really very simple… they are afraid of being unheard!

It works as a self fulfilling prophesy because you stop listening after the second or third time they say something. This way they get to be correct that they are unheard and ignored… or even, invisible…!

It’s true. There are some people who are afraid if they stop talking, they’ll disappear completely into the chaos of their minds.

There are some veterans around here in Hawaii, who seem to need to talk constantly… probably as an outcome of the mixture of agent orange and feeling abandoned by their country after Vietnam…

If you find yourself talking too much, make a point of asking yourself which one of these is it that you are afraid of experiencing… invisibility, inaudibility or being inconsequential to those around you? Then STOP…..!

Never be in judgment on those in this condition… or, before you know it, you will be judged for the same by others. Instead, speak the truth gently until they can hear it… because these people who talk all the time… are most often deaf to what others have to say! Carefully bring them to a recognition of what they are doing and why.

I often tell my friends… “if you ever hear me tell the same story twice tell me right away… I need to know so I won’t bore you or myself…”

I love words…  I consider myself a wordsmith. I use them sparingly, because I know with certainty… every word I speak is a spell.

A spell, I am casting upon myself and my world…
With consciousness, words can be a great tool of healing and personal empowerment… used UNconsciously, they live up to the old saying “loose lips sink ships”… glug, glug, glug,… there goes your credibility…

It is only your fear that expresses through all that noise… and the truth is, if we can be quiet and listen for the still small voice of The Divine, we would know we are loved and there is no need for all that fear…

Find the silence in your own heart and you will have a treasure beyond price.
Then what you say will mean something.

Let go of needing to describe the world constantly so it feels more manageable.
Rest in the arms of The Divine Mother…
Find a place inside yourself through your breath…
Rest your weary bones in the knowledge that you are heard,
You are loved and you are seen…

The energy has been swirling around lately…
I feel it in every pocket of my experience.  I have never felt so completely joyful before… yet everyday I am indeed confronted with the actual collapse of the world as I have known it.

In the midst of all the chaos there are pockets of Divine Mystery…

On Monday of this week the most beautiful couple came down to the end of the universe and were married on the White Owl Grid of The Mystery School.

They brought three generations of their family … made vows of love and devotion before the assembled energies both seen and unseen,  the light surrounding them was palpable…

I used the sacred blue chalice with the crystal stem covered with amethysts and lotus in the silver work to share sparkling organic raspberry wine filled with the energy of the event… and the wisdom wand of the Mystery School to  allow the couple to heal the past and recreate the future in a positive, powerful way, in service to the children and their friends and family of the greater world community.

As I called out the ‘invocation for perfection’ in Sanskrit, the wind carried the sound through the gullies down the hillside to the sea.  The Hawaiian Kahuna (masters) seemed to come out of the mists of time and were standing witness to this most sacred event.

Andre and Kiva from West Texas were bound together through love and clear intention… to share the challenges of what is to come…  As a partnership …. In love and in lightness…

It was my privilege and my pleasure to be of service to Andre and Kiva… and their whole family. They chose rings I designed and made in advance, they were gracious and caring of everyone in their group…. this beautiful celebration showed me once more the joy available in times of change and challenge.

The angels are with them every step of the way, providing the support they need to fulfill their personal missions within the context of profoundly moving romantic love…. And rambunctious family gatherings loaded with kids and chaos as part of the geography of a full and happy life.

The perfection mantra goes like this…

(English translation)
Everything in life is perfect… in time and space
Everything in life is perfect… when seen as God’s Grace
Everything is perfect whether sunshine or rain
Because…
When you take the perfect from the perfect…
Only the perfect remains…
Peace, peace, peace…

To chant these words in Sanskrit, is to open the portal for all possibilities
… this was my gift to them… the invocation of perfection!

I am really excited about my art project in Hawaii.
I’ll be back there soon. I’m cooking up a great new idea that will include artists from all over the world. The art is to be created out of recycled materials, mostly found in garbage dumps and waste disposal.

I am planning to create a magical environment that allows all kinds of art to be expressed and all kinds of artists to co-create art together. In the area of Hawaii where I am located it appears at first glance to be almost unpopulated, poor and eccentric. However over the last eight years, my opinion has changed.

It’s a very unusual community.

There are people with great wealth, those with medium means, and those with hardly any means at all. It’s a true desert environment with very little water. We experience the trade winds when they blowing from our perches on the dormant side of the volcano with panoramic views of the south pacific ocean.

Within this community all these different types of people are friends.

The cooperate and support each other. There is no local hospital, police station or school. So only the strongest with the clearest intention to remain in a balance survive.

You may ask, Why would I move to such a challenging place? To fulfill my destiny. Indeed the light is most needed in the darkest places. I hope and pray that I will be supported creating a powerful beacon of light through art and magic on the South West Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.

Hi, how are you?

I am really excited about the new book I am writing. It is about self satisfaction in the truest form. I have found life to be interesting and intriguing since my divorce but I have not met in all the years I have been separated from him, a single man who touched my fancy sufficiently to seek sexual satisfaction through coupling with him.

“I have on the other hand resurrected one of my more unusual skills from my youth and always been very sexually satisfied. Women are not naturally driven by the need for sex alone.”

Because women are relationship oriented, for a woman to truly enjoy sex she has to believe it is part of a relationship. It may not be a relationship leading to marriage but it must have a level of truth attached to it for intimacy to truly flourish.

Men on the other hand have the ability to completely compartmentalize experiences and have no trouble with sex outside relationship. (Maybe not all men, but certainly the ones with high levels of testosterone that are the most charismatic to women. These would be the Fire/Earth elements).

We are all going through a changed experience just now and the economy is making everyone nervous. I am writing this book to bring a level of peace into your life. No matter what…

“The right to self pleasure is yours.”

There is no reason to feel alone and unloved. There is no one who can abandon or abuse you but yourself. It is time for all people, men and women to act out all their sexual fantasies with the Divine Lover and feel whole and complete when they step out into the world.

There is no excuse for sexual frustration any more! Throughout history the church has tried to curb the sexual expression of everyone under their control.

Why?

There is no evidence to support the idea (as the church had people convinced) you will grow hair on the palms of your hands or go cross eyed because you take the time to please yourself.

Why would you take the time to please yourself? When you feel sexual satisfaction you hold a certain frequency that alerts others to your condition. Consequently you are protected from poor decisions you might make from neediness. …you not at the mercy of others.

To be your own source is the ultimate freedom.

This is a gift you can give yourself that will fill your spirit and release great power into the world. It is up to you to harness this power with your intent and send it to the places in your life that need it most.

This is an aspect of organic magic rarely discussed. I look forward to lifting the veil on this secret subject and sharing the gifts with you. One of the aspects of human life is that we are not all the same.

“We are each unique. Within our uniqueness there are groups or ‘elements’. Understanding the elements gives us the information we need to understand the world around us and why people act as they do.”

To know and understand the elements is to give up judgments on others. Once you understand your own nature and that of those around you though this ancient information life will become a lot more of an adventure and a lot less of a trial

During my workshop series “Rhythms of Life” I teach the basics of “ The Elements” and my students are always amazed how perfectly people follow the behavior and values of their element. Many mysteries unfold within my workshops, I hope you will come and join me soon….

Bali, Tonga with the Whales… Big Island of Hawaii… Life is full of adventure…

Surrender to the flow, allow yourself to live in joy, love the Divine Consort and celebrate who you are and what you are here to do!
