Such a glorious remembering, even the forgetting I can forgive as part of the dance!

I sometimes forget that
I was created for joy
My mind is too busy
My heart is too heavy
Heavy for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the sacred dance for life
I was created to smile
to love
to be lifted up
and lift others up
O sacred one
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares
Free my soul
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.
~ Hafiz

I love the remembering ❤
I love the freedom and the contagiousness of joy and dancing!

You must give birth to your images.
They are the future waiting to be born.
Fear not the strangeness you feel.
The future must enter you long before it happens.
Just wait for the birth,
for the hour of the new clarity.
~ Rainier Maria Rilke

Sweet dreams you beautiful people!

"Your sacred place is where you find yourself again and again.” Joseph Campbell

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~ John Lennon
Thank you! I love this reminder whenever I can get it !

I love this woman! I needed this!

Vandana Shiva: (in response to interviewer asking her how she has so much energy, “what keeps you so alive?”

“Well, it’s always a mystery because you don’t know why you get depleted or recharged, but this much I know. I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against, if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that in itself creates new potential.

I’ve learned from the Bhagavad Gita and other teachings of our culture to detach myself from the results of what I do, because these are not in my hands. The context is not in your control, but your commitment is yours to make. And you can make the deepest commitment with a total detachment about where it will take you. You want it to lead to a better world, and you shape your actions and take full responsibility for them, but then you have detachment. And that combination of deep passion and deep detachment allows me always to take on the next challenge b/c I don’t cripple myself. I don’t tie myself in knots. I function like a free being. I think getting that freedom is a social duty. And I think we owe it to each other not to burden each other with prescriptions and demands. I think what we owe each other is a celebration of life and to replace fear and hopelessness with fearlessness and joy.”

~ Shiva

“The word ‘crisis’ is of Greek origin, meaning a point of culmination and separation, an instant when change one way or another is impending.” He compares the crisis in an individual life to that of a society in disaster: “Life becomes like molten metal. It enters a state of flux from which it must reset upon a principle, a creed, or purpose. It is shaken perhaps violently out of rut and routine. Old customs crumble, and instability rules.” That is, disasters open up societies to change, accelerate change that was under way, or break the hold of whatever was preventing change.”
― Rebecca Solnit, A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster

I've started listening to this incredible book again because it's timely, even 10 years after it was published.

"Enlightenment is a group activity." ~ Charles Eisenstein, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible

"We must enlarge our approach to encompass the formation taking place before our eyes…of a particular biological entity such as has never existed on earth – the growth, outside and above the biosphere, of an added planetary layer, an envelope of thinking substance, to which, for the sake of convenience and symmetry, I have given the name of Noosphere.

The historic process is changing dramatically before our eyes…Mankind taken as a whole is becoming a powerful geological force. Humanity’s mind and work face the problem of reconstructing the biosphere in the interests of freely thinking mankind as a single entity. This new state of the world we are approaching without noticing it is the “Noosphere.”

~ Teilhard de Chardin, The Future of Man

"Just as the biosphere is the unified field of life and its support systems – the region for the transformation of cosmic energy on Earth – so the noosphere is the unified field of the mind, the psychic reflection of the biosphere. Because we as a species, the aggregate of consciousness-bearing cells of the evolving Earth, are not yet awake to our role as a planetary organism, so too the noosphere is not yet fully conscious. When humanity becomes conscious of itself as a single organism and unites to activate the noosphere, we will find the collective resolve and will to reconstruct the biosphere and divert the energy of the human race from a path of destruction based on a mechanized abstraction from nature to a new harmonic order of super-organic reality based on an entirely different state of consciousness than has yet existed on Earth."
~ Jose Arguelles, Manifesto for the Noosphere

“Like the most refined or alchemical distillate, or some primary source code, the architecture of true human connection somehow includes yet transcends the personal; interdependence is at once deeply intimate and utterly universal. Pure, moments of relating reach us at the root, touching, who we truly are, while simultaneously elevating what is possible for us to become. The sacred geometry of active interrelation is both a portal to everything we have ever been, individually, and ancestrally, and a gateway to the greater future potential of our species. To Colocate this future experientially is a sacred act of communion and a natural rite of ‘symbiotic unity’.

These things should not be taken as Pollyanna –-ish ideals. To arrive even at the furthest glimmer of the distant edge of our becoming, we have crossed and historic dark night. We have come face-to-face with the abyss, and in it, we must now reckon with the possibility of our own extinction. To survive, much less to flourish, we must make Conscious our essential interdependence and awaken into new forms of vibrant, sustained relation.

I have taken on a vocation around spiritual practice, dedicating my life and work to what I call the inner science of consciousness. The territory of consciousness can be explored and understood through practices, like meditation, study, prayer, movement, stillness, and through contemplation of self and nature – – as well as in contemplation of the relational dynamics that exist between ourselves and others, in the ordinary course of modern life.

~ Thomas Hubl, Attuned: practicing interdependence to heal our trauma – and the world

Humanity is now too clever to survive without wisdom

What kind of presence are you beaming out into the world? Do you have enough humility to know when you don't know and you don't have this kind of 'authority'? It's good to be humble when it's the truth, and to speak your truth when it can serve
