As an Interfaith Minister, Ecstatic Embodied Leader & overall Transformational Catalyst, there is a deep synchronicity for me in being asked to deliver a eulogy for the Arise & Awaken Global Ceremony Gathering this past weekend when so much is dying in my own personal life as well as for the collective.
My relationship of 10 years, the city I’ve lived in for 20, the structure of my sacred work for the last 7 years, even my trusty laptop computer of 6 years died this week for good. I even saw a dead Robin at the park the other day for the first time ever. Rebirth has been my theme for over a year, and now it’s the collective theme as well. So I am deeply honored and humbled to be here to hold space and show up fully for Spirit’s call in this time. I am leaning in deeply and finding comfort and savage grace in the ancient wisdom of the cycles of Life, death and rebirth...knowing there is a radiant technicolor whirling rainbow on the other side of the storm and we will emerge resilient & deeply resourced as brilliant butterflies of planetary transformation.
It needs not be said that we are alive at a pivotal moment across the globe when systems are crumbling, the levels of suffering and loss are becoming nearly insurmountable, and we are deeply submerged in an age of separation and scarcity. Whether it’s a loss of a job, a family member or friend, a way of being, or even the ability to go outside - we are feeling the waves of individual and collective grief. Tears are flowing. Sobs are rolling through the body and we are shedding en mass. Yet simultaneously, we’re also in a profound moment of possibility and transmutation to the light.
In the dreamtime last night this phrase came to me, “May the crying woman help us access our wise woman.” For what once was shall never be again. The world is changing now.
This sacred transmission came through a couple of weeks ago as the pandemic took full hold of the globe. I wanted to enter our eulogy here…
The patriarchal paradigm is a virulent virus
Burning up & desecrating Her sacred lungs
Polluting and toxifying Her sacred blood
Penetrating and robbing Her sacred body
Cutting down and destroying Her sacred root
Inhumanely quarantining & abusing Her sacred kin
Compromising and poisoning Her sacred breath
The Amazon Her lungs
The waters Her blood
The terra Her body
The trees Her root
The animals Her kin
The wind Her breath
When One suffers, we all suffer
Our Great Mother is crying out
She is answering our prayers
As within, so without
As without, so within
How we treat ourselves, others and the earth
Is a mirror staring back
Remember the interconnected web now
Awaken to the wisdom that we belong to each other
Imbibe the medicine of sacred reconnection
It is the only remedy that will save us now.
It’s time to combat the virus
The true virus of separation and greed that lead us Here
To this now moment
With sacred (r)evolution
As warriors of the heart
Creating a new bottom line of LOVE and reverence.
We are on the precipice of a mass awakening catalyzed by a minuscule microbe, a great silent spiritual teacher here to shake us awake and out of our sleepwalking. To electrify us with energy and inspiration where we have been numb. To inspire us to stand up and show our souls in service to the greater good. To have us address the grief held in our lungs and in the lungs of the earth. To cause us to pause and reevaluate our lives and all that is most important to us and what we hold most dear. To remind us of the heart of what matters most and to cause us to turn urgently towards the light.
This tiny microbe originated from a bat, as has been shared. I had my initiation with bats last fall in Isis’s Temple in Egypt and I was struck by the potent medicine they carry. They led me into Osiris’s Shrine room where I received a life changing transmission on life, death and rebirth and understood my deep connection to the underworld. For the shamanic meaning of bats is all about just this, REBIRTH, as well as initiation and shamanic dismemberment (which you could say the old paradigm is currently facing now). However, they also pollinate new ideas and can help us usher in the New Earth while seeing in and through the darkness of these times.
There is no doubt that this is a powerful time of death and rebirth, of alchemy and transmutation. This is a collective initiation at the level we have never seen in our lifetimes, and one that is stretching us to our deepest capacities. Our world is rapidly shifting and chaos is starting to seem like the new norm. I like to think of these times as an initiation into our full radiance for the journey of whole systems transformation before us now. It will help us to live our true creative calling and sacred activism in the world if we rise to the occasion. It’s time that we tap into that urge and inner power to deliver our gifts, so we can Sparkle SHAMELESSLY and help flood the house of humanity with light. I deeply believe WE WERE MADE FOR THESE TIMES!
This is why we gather, to remember who we are at our essence, to come home to our truth and to superpower our #SOULSPARKLE and capacities in the world. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for! Together, in diverse sacred circles, ephemeral temples, councils, and communities we are being invited to rise to the occasion of a world in crisis. We are being challenged to burn away what is no longer serving us with our inner fierce feminine flame so that we may midwife the new paradigm into being and usher in the New Earth together.
It’s time to unhook from 3D mass consciousness now, to unplug from the Matrix and to charge up on the collective grid of light workers connecting in around the globe to usher in the New Earth.
We are in the collective fire now, being transmuted and alchemized by the flames in a great unveiling. The true meaning of the word apocalypse. The true end to NORMAL. Knowing that normal gets you nowhere anyways.
This is the ultimate rebirth into the more beautiful world our hearts knows is possible. We are being forged through the fires into a new species. Homo luminous.
As one of my Beloved mentors, Andrew Harvey shared, “The great good news is that this death could be the birth canal of an unprecedented birth. The birth of an embodied divine humanity that lives in humble harmony with the Creation.”
And hence we are gathered here today in this collective field of transformation. This potent resonant field of love and light and visions for the new Earth. May we fearlessly put our feet into the fire and remain willing to dance, engaging and maintaining full presence even as we burn, baby, burn in the white hot flames of transmutation. For we must collectively release the old and anchor in the light now into our multi-dimensional reality and the visions of the future. Now is the time. It is an all hands on deck moment.
For there is an old paradigm that’s dying now that I am here to speak of. What was once considered normal or the status quo. One that has been accepted and followed without much thought or consciousness as to its consequences. One that has been overtly and covertly oppressing our core power for centuries. Our magical power, sexual power, intuitive power, blood power,….One that has left us in a tidal wave of shame and unworthiness, being thrown about in the rough waters of “I’m not good enough”. Or “I’m too much.” One where a vast majority of us have forgotten the sacredness of life. One where we’ve forgotten how to love and are consumed by fear instead. One where we’ve lost respect for each other and our Great Mother Earth and Life has been disregarded in favor of profit, greed, and personal agendas. One that has been based on the lie of separation.
We have lost touch with the ancient earth-honoring systems going all the way back to goddess worship and indigenous shamanism — the original spirituality — and instead have bought into the modern-day patriarchal systems that have suppressed these sacred ways for thousands of years.
One serves Life, while the other serves greed.
One serves the bottom line of love while the other serves the bottom line of money.
One operates in the unseen realm, the other in the seen, middle world reality.
One is sacred, the other profane.
One is connected to the seemingly extraordinary, the other the ordinary.
One is based on abundance and surplus while the other is based on scarcity.
One serves humanity, the other serves the individual.
One involves the metaphysical and magical, the other strictly physical and material.
One is based on the interconnection and interdependence of all Life, the other on the delusion of separateness.
The old “normal” way would have us be disembodied machines of doing and producing with well manicured facades that are appealing to the eye. The old normal way has us deeply suppressed and disconnected from our bodies that are a core portal to our power. For the lie of separation & disease of disconnection are closely related to our alienation from nature, our own bodies and the Sacred Feminine. They have severed us from our own souls and our souls’ physical address in this lifetime, our holy body temples.
On top of that we are collectively starving for depth, meaning, and purpose largely because we don’t value the inner life in our culture. Our current systems that are in collapse don’t foster our wholeness or encourage our innate brilliance and Spirit to flourish. In most cases they crush us and drain the life and light out of our eyes. They keep us small, tamed, and in line. At their worst, they perpetrate violence that limits our potential and ability to become who we’re meant to be in this lifetime. This is why they are dying now to be reborn.
Our innate divinity, radiance and soul essence have been suffocated by this old way of being that no longer serves. We have been Suffocating the lungs of the earth with fires in the Amazon and now we are suffocating from a virus to the lungs of humanity.
Take a deep breath here with me Beloveds. Let that land ……...
The Latin word for 'breath' is 'spiritus,' which over time became our English words spirit, inspire, and aspiration. We’ve forgotten how to let the breath animate our being. We’ve forgotten how to let spirit literally move through us and inspire us as Protectors of the cosmic order, serving life. We have Forgotten how to be instruments of peace and emissaries of light leading from LOVE.
But this most potent time in human history has sparked a renaissance of remembering, remembering who we are, why we’ve come and who we’re meant to be together now.
And for this, I want to stop and take a moment here to say THANK YOU to this pandemic and the old paradigm. Thank you for reminding us that we need to be mindful of our breath and the presence of Spirit moving through us. Thank you for helping us to slow down, turn within and focus on the heart of what matters most. Thank you for reminding us that we belong to each other. And thank you even to the old paradigm for the forgetting. Thank you for leading us astray so that we had the opportunity to know what it feels like to come back to our center, thank you for allowing us to see the disastrous consequences of this path, so that we can choose a new way forward in the future. Thank you for ushering in the dark night of the globe so that we may truly awaken into our full spiritual maturity and capacity for light and transformation. May this time become a spacious womb for the new life that is emergent, instead of a constricting tomb filled with attachment to all that’s dying away.
Thank you for reminding us of who we truly are and what we’re made of!
Now is the time to ARISE & awaken from our collective amnesia, answering the call of the Goddess and Mother Gaia whispering her ancient prayers deep into our wombs and hearts and 3rd eyes, Beloved. This is the time of remembering, coming home, awakening, and returning to who we are and who we’ve always been. Let us become the Fire Phoenix that rises from the ashes in our full feminine fire power. Our technicolor brilliance and full soul essence is emerging now. And it MUST. We have urgent soul appointments to help usher in the New Earth. That’s why you’re here. This is why we have come.
Sacred reconnection is the medicine being reborn out of these ashes.
And I believe that this sacred reconnection will bring an end to the violence against ourselves and each other in a great return to love and reverence for self, each other, the planet, and the Web of All Life at this time, what I’m calling the Sacred (R)evolution® with Spirit’s insistent guidance!!
This is the time of the He(art) Warriors now, coming from the heart with our deep gifts and unique medicine and sharing that on behalf of the good of the whole body of humanity and the next seven generations. We are leading the Sacred (R)evolution® together. We are expanding into the next level of love and service we want to show up for in the world. We are being mindful of where we are out of alignment and integrity. We are seizing the courage to birth our love into action in the world. We have a moral responsibility to show up fully now. This is why we’re gathering the priestesses and light workers and healers and intuitives and holy rebels and revolutionaries for The Resilient Rainbow He(art) Warrior Training.
The two main symbols that I’ve received from Spirit for the heart warriors is the sword and the rose. It’s time to embrace and wield them for personal and planetary transformation. It’s the energy of Joan of Arc and Sekhmet meets Quan Yin. It’s time to access our sacred rage and our truth as we as our inner compassion, so we can put our fierce love into circulation.
I deeply believe that each and every one of us matters. We have a responsibility to live into our (r)evolutionary potential for the good of all. We must each add our unique stroke to the collective masterpiece, or else it will be forever lost. Like cells in the body, we each have a divine assignment to serve the greater functioning of the whole: the ecosystem and body of humanity. We are the vision carriers of this new world that we want to see in which basic human rights and dignity are universally respected and upheld. We have the opportunity now to be ecstatic embodied leaders helping to heal the world with purity of heart and intention, staying true to our authentic essence.
We are walking stardust — every single living being — regardless of race, class, nationality, religion, or species. It is our true nature to shine. Shining together, there is an interconnected constellation of us just like the stars shining brilliantly in the night sky: flooding the house of humanity with light, each a cosmic and radiant node in our interconnected Web of All Life. That’s why My life’s work is to help us all do just this: SPARKLE SHAMELESSLY®. It’s allowing our spiritual magnificence to come forth, our soul essence, the reality and raw truth of who we are. It’s our unique #SOULSPARKLE and medicine that only we can bring to the world. To Sparkle Shamelessly is to be LIT up, TURNED on, BLAZING true. It’s feeling our full life force energy and being filled with aliveness. It is being wholly merged with the holiness of our true essence. It’s the full embodiment of our authentic radiance. It’s remembering who we truly are and claiming our worth. It’s standing in our highest power and artistry, serving Life. It’s knowing we are enough just as we are, and that we are whole and sovereign. It’s having a wealth of inner resources to be grounded, anchored, and centered in the midst of our chaotic world. Most of all, it is taking a stand for deep nourishment and flourishing for all in the New Earth.
We're already seeing that happen now with social distancing and people shutting down businesses even when it's extremely inconvenient and unprofitable to protect our fellow humans and those who are most vulnerable amongst us. Also Congress passing a $2 Trillion stimulus bill with relief checks to just about everyone, including the poor. We're seeing glimpses of a new possibility here, the "paradise" that could emerge from "hell" in Rebecca Solnit's words.
And as Charles Eisenstein shared in his thought provoking article, The Coronation, “How do we protect those susceptible to Covid?” invites us into “How do we care for vulnerable people in general?”
That is the impulse that stirs in us, regardless of the superficialities of our opinions about Covid’s severity, origin, or best policy to address it. It is saying, let’s get serious about taking care of each other. Let’s remember how precious we all are and how precious life is. Let’s take inventory of our civilization, strip it down to its studs, and see if we can build one more beautiful.As Covid stirs our compassion, more and more of us realize that we don’t want to go back to a normal so sorely lacking it. We have the opportunity now to forge a new, more compassionate normal…
The crisis could usher in totalitarianism or solidarity; medical martial law or a holistic renaissance; greater fear of the microbial world, or greater resiliency in participation in it; permanent norms of social distancing, or a renewed desire to come together.”
I believe it is the later, especially since the ancient is emergent in this new future. The old ways. We are tapping into our indigenous roots to build the rainbow bridge into the future. Being born into our full technicolor diamond radiance after the storm, standing in our full Sovereignty and power for the Good of All.
A corona is a crown. It’s time that we sit firmly in the sovereign throne of our life and usher in this new earth together “for all” (the meaning of the word pandemic).
In the visions of the new Earth I’ve received, we have moved from the old story of separation into deep ecstasy, unity and unconditional love. We are deeply tapped into our inner wisdom and our soul essence. We lead from intuition and instinct: we walk as embodied love in the world. We are intimately interwoven as a tapestry of light across the globe, aware of the brilliance and fragility of our interdependence on each other and our multi-dimensionality.
The new earth is vibrant green lush and alive, and the Earth has fully healed and re-generated as have all her children.
The leaders of the ancient future are radiant ecstatic Beings in their full presence and power, their passion and potential. Lit up and blazing true. Connected to their bodies and the earth and each other in shared leadership, collaboration and Beloved community. They have re-membered and anchored in their latent gifts and abilities from ancient, present, and future selves in service to the greater good.
In the new earth the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies exist in harmony and balance, we have dissolved the binary, and we’re ALL able to stand in our full power, delivering our revolutionary potential for the good of all. Together We serve life and a new bottom line of love.
The New Earth is a world free of shame, violence and oppression. Where our humanity and sacredness are upheld regardless of gender, class, privilege, skin tone, etc. A world where we’re all living into our authentic soul expression for the greater good of all. Where we’re acting from our authentic star power and delivering our unique soul sparkle. We are no longer on an ego fest of false power destroying our world. we’re sparkling shamelessly and sustainably lit up and fully alive, filled with joy and true fulfillment. We’re following our Northstar to what matters most. We’re harnessing the true power of our oneness and the innate interconnectedness of all life. We’re being fully present and showing up. We’re staying close to what is most sacred with deep reverence for all Life.
The new earth is _____________(insert your own vision and add them to the comments below!!
It is my prayer that we show up authentic to our core and unapologetic for this consciousness-raising journey and collective initiation. That we bring resilience and determination to our vision. That we show up to do the right thing with diligence and daily work. That we dismantle and alchemize who we thought we were in order to become who we’re meant to be, both individually and as a collective. Most of all I pray that we come home to the body, to the earth, to all sentient beings and the he(art) of what matters most — including this one wild and precious life we’ve been given.
We have the opportunity to be living, breathing chalices of love in the world, overflowing with the unconditional, radiant, never-ending divine nectar of love from our he(art). That is my deepest prayer for you, Beloved.
Let us collectively move from ME TO WE.
Let us chase DEEP MEANING instead of MONEY.
Let us SERVE and PROTECT LIFE in all our endeavors.
Let us PUT OUR LOVE INTO ACTION to halt the dark night of the globe starting TODAY.
Let us be WARRIORS OF THE HE(ART) delivering our deepest gifts to the world.
Let us move toward our SACRED (R)EVOLUTIONARY POTENTIAL for the good of all.
And most of all let us SPARKLE SHAMELESSLY® and flood the house of humanity with light!
And so it is
Aho
Amen
See you at The Resilient Rainbow He(art) Warrior Training Beloved, or on the Replay if you can’t make it LIVE on May 17th.
