<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKWHNgA3qoo0i3E7m9iP9hS9HXFlOVKIrknMidEyJ7Ez1IEt0326HQdeyjRy5aFV7JMLliGnjcUHFOmRNGuVFjS917NBg7nEF4sfT8mbZYbc998wOKx5DICCgBUiR4ambwbeXAGvD1ash/s1600/womengoddesscircle-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuKWHNgA3qoo0i3E7m9iP9hS9HXFlOVKIrknMidEyJ7Ez1IEt0326HQdeyjRy5aFV7JMLliGnjcUHFOmRNGuVFjS917NBg7nEF4sfT8mbZYbc998wOKx5DICCgBUiR4ambwbeXAGvD1ash/s1600/womengoddesscircle-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">One of the things
that has been brought up over the years is the question as tp the value of
women's gatherings where there seems to be a lot of talking and little focus on
“actions” to be taken. In my experience with the organization of <a href="http://www.gatherthewomen.org/" target="_blank">Gather theWomen Global Matrix</a>, the Conveners have always held the line at gathering,
experiencing Circle Principles, staying in that commitment. They have indicated
that Gather the Women is not to become an activist organization. It wasn’t until
I gathered and attended my own circle with sisters in Seattle, WA that I came to
understand the value of what I had heard from so many GTW Conveners over the
years.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Here is what I have
learned. I hope it will be helpful to others who are called to be in the
gathering of women. I will not share the concepts in any particular order, just
that they emerged and came together for me.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">First, I have
learned the value of emergence. As I let myself say “yes” to an invitation to
be with other women just because I felt an inner “yes”, I realized that the
gift could not be described by a flyer or conversation. The gift was unformed
until I showed up, mingled with the others who showed up and stayed in the
heart of connecting. The stated “purpose” of the gathering was not the
“purpose” or gift that emerged for me.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I saw this modeled
impeccably at the Women of Spirit and Faith’s Alchemy gathering in 2013. The
conveners were in constant communication as they observed what ideas, concerns,
and gifting presentations emerged throughout each day. These emerging pieces
were woven into the gathering as if they had been in the original plan. They
certainly had outlined the week-end and yet were committed to let the workshop
unfold moment by moment. So Emergence happens when women get together, share
and listen.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Second, I learned
to understand Paradoxes more deeply. Paradox:</span><span style="color: #0c343d;"><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="background: white; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt;">something (such as a situation) that is made up
of two opposite things </span><span style="font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14pt;"> <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">that
seem impossible or contradictory but actually both have value and are true or
possible.</span> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The paradox that
shows us in circles is male/left brain leadership and female/right brain
leadership. These terms are very general however, the discussion needs a way to
distinguish these two styles of leading.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The male model is
top-down. The leader gives the directives and those in positions under him have
their jobs in order to meet the goal that has been set. We are very familiar
with this style and it has value.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The female model is
collaborative. The space is open for discussion, conversations, all being seen
and treated equally. One idea may lead to another idea. One possibility will
trigger another possibility. Often, although there is value, this model has
been discredited as a waste of time.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">When building with
paradoxes, one must realize that you cannot build the strongest system with
just one of the two legs. Too much top-down and the workers feel disenchanted,
unheard and a divide is created. Too much collaborative conversation and one
can become bored and lost in a sea of words with no forward moving.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The answer is to
work with inclusion of both in appropriate measure.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This brings me to
the Circle Principles of Gather the Women.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Women have been
raised in a society that has discriminated in favor of men. We have not been
taught to know, experience and understand HOW we naturally assess, design and
lead. The model we have been given is top down, claw your way to the top, as we
have seen men do. What we get to experience in Circles is the space of safety
to share, respectful listening of what our voices speak from heart. All of
these require time, space and are the foundation of collaboration. And
Collaboration is fundamental to women. It allows space for evaluation of her
world, creative field of ideas for her re-design and a unified supportive model
for her roles leadership.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Knowing when to
move from female/collaborative space into male/top-down leadership is what will
make the difference as women participate in changing the world.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I have come to see
Circle work as the space to re-awaken women’s voices and re-acquaint them to
themselves as leaders.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The other concept
that I found intriguing after years with my circle is the <a href="http://youtu.be/M1Q-EbX6dso" target="_blank">murmuration</a> principle.
You may know this word as it is applied to the family of birds called
starlings. There are many youtube videos showing the <a href="http://youtu.be/M1Q-EbX6dso" target="_blank">murmuration</a> flight of
starlings. To understand how this applies, check out a <a href="http://youtu.be/M1Q-EbX6dso" target="_blank">murmuration</a> video and
then search for a geese in flight video. You will see two very different ways
of flying from here to there. They are excellent examples of top-down
leadership and collaborative leadership.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The geese fly in a
<a href="http://youtu.be/1W98moZHoiY" target="_blank">V formation</a>. As the point goose gets tired, another goose from the V flies up
to take the lead point. All of the others stay in a pretty tight formation
behind the leader.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The starlings, however, dance from on
location to another. They are certainly in a committed “field”. Yet, they
freely take “side” trips along the way, maybe a new air current, an desire to
try a new turn skill, or whatever might intrigue a starling to dance as the
greater “field” moves along. That is what women do. A circle is a committed
community of caring women. Yet, within that circle, an idea for action might
come up. In <a href="http://youtu.be/M1Q-EbX6dso" target="_blank">mumuration</a>, it is not expected that the entire “field” follow the
bird with the idea for action, not is there any movement to stop the action. So
one, two or twenty birds will dance with the new idea, take action in that
direction while never losing sight or contact with the “field”. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">In a top-down
model, that would be considered breaking up or fracturing the formation of the
group.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I have come to understand that it is women's
circles using the principles of respectful listening, confidence with each
other's words, voicing what is in the heart and being present with what emerges
that women are re-learning their way of contribution and of leading. The world
will shift when women step into their place of designing a world that is Good for All and commands that all distracts, diminishes or destroys that Good be removed.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p>What will the world look like when the culture from which all manifests is the based on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAnCm1CEb98" target="_blank">Values that Women Hold for Those They Love?</a> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Much love to all of you! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgosYeAWS4UdTIX8Vt9VKtu9CVPdRPEn6DHgMwy-D6z3bDe0Y3OKE7pnBazcpYl85rq1E6wtRxwC0cdB67f2Ohb3ppbYwm_0e0ZFdlXKCHmFtC1-dsDxrPbUQemWm65PP8OesArZoS-zdlq/s1600/women+in+tribes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgosYeAWS4UdTIX8Vt9VKtu9CVPdRPEn6DHgMwy-D6z3bDe0Y3OKE7pnBazcpYl85rq1E6wtRxwC0cdB67f2Ohb3ppbYwm_0e0ZFdlXKCHmFtC1-dsDxrPbUQemWm65PP8OesArZoS-zdlq/s1600/women+in+tribes.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What we “lost” at the Eve juncture
was not really “lost”. When occupying forces swept through the
inhabited areas of Earth, the Wisdom Culture that had experienced the
power of the female's intuitive visioning and declarations for the
Good of all life, saw the handwriting on the wall, so to speak. In
some situations, there were great battles with the destruction,
terror, and death that always accompanies war. In other situations,
the cultural wisdom keepers were hidden for as long as possible,
hoping to wait out the dominator’s presence. In other situations,
the women themselves made sacred contracts within their circle to
secret their knowledge and pretend obedience in order to keep the
village, their families and themselves alive to “fight” another
day. Perhaps the Eve figure represents that last choice.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The time of the oppressing parasitic
cultures has lasted longer than any would have supposed. The impact
of torture, rape, burning at the stake, drowning, has taken its tool
on women and on the world. Through the burning times, women learned
many things. They began to stay small, hide their gifts, diminish
visions, fight one another for the approval of the male oppressors,
be nice, hide anger, disconnect from other women, make themselves
less “female”, point out the flaws of other women and obey the
male voice as the ultimate authority. While suppression and
assimilation is what so many women in the world today fight against,
those whose ancestral lines come through the earth areas of the
burning times, many in the West, have no awareness that this long ago
suppression and assimilation has left them in a context of
enslavement. They do not know they are puppets of the colonizers.
These sisters, and I am one, are just beginning to wake up to their
Divine Magnificence as visionaries and leaders beyond being such
nurturers.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The good news is that what was not
destroyed were the deep, mighty, interwoven roots held in Mother
Earth. The trees were toppled, the new sprouts were trimmed into
smallness but the roots of those long ago cultures and indigenous
villages remain. In this time of awakening, women are emerging from a
deep inner impulse. The impulse is coming from their tribal mothers,
from the roots which have grown strong. These emerging “trees”
will not be trimmed, crippled, diminished into smallness.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
What might we expect, what patterns are
appearing that can quickly lead us back to our magnificence?There are
three that I see.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One, a growing passion awaking and
calling women into something greater. They will not know what the
“greater” is and may have various ways of describing this inner
urge. It is an urge that will not be denied as in the past.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPc7sDoVs2PXz4_HG06OnpJ0pI_dGHc9qcskM6hakl07WgfWHG2EkRbln2YPnOgj1vOgMZvd0x33oHR0W2r-ytIyPrQfB4pcfzkxbsewxxmEKPqnIce2bxk6Kr_EJN4O3UMYd1nrgyL90w/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPc7sDoVs2PXz4_HG06OnpJ0pI_dGHc9qcskM6hakl07WgfWHG2EkRbln2YPnOgj1vOgMZvd0x33oHR0W2r-ytIyPrQfB4pcfzkxbsewxxmEKPqnIce2bxk6Kr_EJN4O3UMYd1nrgyL90w/s320/photo+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Second, there is a drawing together.
Women following their personal impulse are finding others who are
also “following impulse”. A forming is occurring. The forming is
numberless. Two, or ten or hundreds or thousands are showing up and
finding themselves together with “sisters” they did not know they
had. The “together” might be a friend's party, a national event,
a political rally, a sewing class, a discussion group, a women's
circle, an internet social page or a soccer field.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Third, being together occasionally is
not enough and so commitments are being made to gather in some
regular fashion. What is important to consider is that we are finding
our “lost” villages, our communities from the energy of our
indigenous roots. These are not frivolous, happenstance situations.
These are reunions and the attention we pay to them, the time and
commitment we give to them and awareness we glean from them will
become the life blood of the new world of Good for all life.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Those are the three I have been seeing,
especially in the past four months. There is another emerging pattern
that could become the number four. However, it is so valuable that I
want it to be a stand alone concept until we fully embrace it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The next pattern is very ancient. This
is a pattern that assimilated women have lost. I was really made
aware of it in 2008 at the gathering, Constellations of Hope. There
were several women from the First Nations in attendance. I was struck
by their introduction message. They spoke of receiving the invitation
to come and of being in conversation with their tribal elders
relating to that possibility. With the decision made for them to
attend, they were sent with a message from their elders to those of
us at Constellations. They were also very clear that they were not
here for themselves. They would be taking what of value they learned
here back to their community as the gift from our gathering. I sat
there as a single woman who had been taught to work hard, do it
yourself, be perfect, don't ask for help – all the result of
assimilation, by the way – and thought where is my tribe? Who cares
if I am here? Who is waiting to hear the value that I might gain?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
And so the fourth pattern that is
emerging is not really forming yet. It is a model for holding hands
that could arise after our coming together into communities. One
concept of the old survival, assimilated lifestyle that would hinder
this is the idea of “us vs. them”. This concept shows up as “my
thoughts/ideas are the only right ones”, my religious teachings are
the only “right ones”, my healing modality is the “most
powerful one”, my political candidate or social issues is the most
“critical one”, because if that is not true, I have no value.
Diversity, which is an integral aspect of life on this planet, is a
reason for separation and divisiveness in a fear based system.
Diversity, in a love based culture, is the basis of expansion,
abundance, thriving and greater understanding.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The fourth pattern is one that we can
consciously bring into form by using a model such as the First
Nations. You are not an individual walking this journey. As a member
of one diverse community, you go out into the world with a
intentional message beyond your own to be given. With your presence,
your community is gifted within the gatherings. Then, you are present
with intention to truly listen to the other “community delegates”
in order that the value they add is taken back to enhance your
community.

If you have wondered how the craziness
in the world could ever shift, consider that the Next Step is to
build coalitions. Then truly Weave the World. We hold hands, march in
each other's parades, be in each other's events as delegates, listen
to each other with respect, pause to hear the values of our sharings,
and then with this greater collective womb, we breath the earth into
our Weave. The birth/evolution into an expanded, abundant, generous,
loving, peaceful and joyful world will come naturally from the
collective womb of women who declare it to be so!</div>

<h4>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">Control
and disenfranchisement exist beyond ethnicity and color. We are all
enslaved in some way. Most of us do no know that we are. I speak of
women, their husbands and children in the “privilege</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;">” of the
West. Slavery, discrimination, discounting, disenfranchisement are
alive and well here.</span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="color: #333333; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lillian
Tubman in speaking of her work with the Underground Railroad
said,”Yes, I saved thousands. I could have saved so many more IF
they would have known they were slaves.”</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #333333;">When
we wake up to see that enslavement includes millions yet to identify
their "chains", our eyes will truly be open to the truth
that can allow us to “be free”. Then, we will rise in the numbers
needed to end the domination, occupation, entitlement agenda and call
forth a new culture for the good of all in the web of life.</span></span></span></h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><b>How
did we get here?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stories
mold the consciousness and the dreams. Goals and actions emerge from
this deep, unseen field created by stories. As you look around the
world today, realize that what we are experiencing both in our
personal lives and within countries is the end result of stories. It
is very important that we look for beginnings. There are many
cultures, countries, families and even individuals all creating and
living stories. Could there be one story that is the foundation for
all that we see in the world?</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Of
course not. However, there is a compilation of Judeo-Christian
stories that have had a powerful influence in creating a context that
touches millions upon millions within our world. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">President
Jimmy Carter, as a spokesperson for the Elders, a group of
distinguished world leaders said, “We have spend the last two years
trying to understand what has lead to the violence that women are
experiencing. We have concluded that it is a result of religions
where women are denied equal right to serve god, treated as inferior,
have lost their feminine deity and are made to be subservient. This
sets the example for domineering men to persecute, abuse and deprive
women. It is a thread that has not been publicly discussed before.”
</span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">Many
women are identifying a system that they feel has diminished them,
the patriarchy. What is the story that gives the patriarchy rights to
dominate? What is the story that women carry that makes subjugation
possible?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Why
would we even want to examine our stories, the foundations of our
culture, our traditions? Well, maybe because the world is in the
state it is in? Because what we have isn't working so well. Because
those who have been fighting to change the system, those who have
been mending those damaged by the system, those who have tried to
pretend that all is well are very tired. Because we are on the verge
of greater tragedy.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There
is a story of a village that was situated on the bank of a
magnificent river. The river was the flow of all that was needed for
life. One day one of the villagers noticed a basket flooding down the
river. Upon investigation, she discovered a swaddled baby tucked into
the basket. With great love, she took the baby in. As the day passed
more and more baskets with babies came around the bend in the river.
So many baskets came that the village was overwhelmed. No one thought
to go upstream to discover why so many mothers felt the need to put
their babies into the river. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Today,
we have so many baskets flooding down our river that even the river
itself is tainted. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
suggest that upstream to the beginning is where change must happen. I
will tell you a story that may be very different from the one that
you were told. Your initial reaction might be one of confusion or
even anger.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But,
what is the first story many of us have heard about our earth? The
garden. The myth of the garden from Judeo-Christian sources.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What
do you know about the Garden? It was lush. It sustained life. It was
abundant. Everything that human beings needed was found there. It
came into existence effortlessly. It was beautiful. The male and
female worked harmoniously to cause it to come into being.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That
is a lot from just a few words in the myth account. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What
do you know about Lilith? Not much I would guess. She is purported to
be the first female in partnership with Adam. We can conclude that
they worked together to create the Garden. Love, respect, honoring of
each other, peaceful and in alignment about life on Earth and being
together. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">Those
possibilities are not really mentioned in the handed down story
although it is recorded elsewhere.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At
some point, Lilith becomes the “bad” one. What did she do or not
do? It can be assumed by the symbol of the serpents that she carries,
the serpent, the ancient symbol for Wise Teacher that will give us a
clue. For that part of the story we can switch to what we have been
told about the next female partner, Eve. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When
the serpent came to the female, first Lilith and then Eve, it was to
invite her to a unique experience, tasting the fruit of the tree so
that she could know good and evil. Undoubtedly, Lilith was invited
first and like Eve, said yes. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lilith
had the experience. She discovered that all was not well on the planet.
She experienced for herself the impact of energy seeds that are based
on control, usury, deceit and found it's “taste” was clearly identifiable It's taste indicated that it would take away the life of
the human family and was labeled “evil”. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then,
these other accounts continue, Lilith was told that she would have to
become subservient to the male, Adam. Her voice would not be heard or valued.
Lilith sensed the “evil” of constriction that came with being
subservient. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">This was not his request. It came from some “god”. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">She refused. She would not let go of the experience
given her by the serpent, the wise teacher. Her hold on the wisdom
brought by the serpent was solid. Her commitment to her own sense of
knowing was fierce. Her love of the greater family and what would
bring them the greatest good was unshakable. Lilith has been
demonized because she would not turn her wisdom, voice, discernment
over to the male who was under the control of this "god".</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lilith
was removed from her place and then we have the story that was spun
with Eve. Eve who tasted the tree, knew that good and evil existed
and then chose to go into a more subservient role with Adam.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In addition, The Outsiders re-engineered the body suit, the vehicle for the Soul, which left only two power centers intact: Base to survive and Creative morphed to highly sexualizing the Male body suit.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>What
did women lose by accepting Eve story?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">The
right to intuit and declare what would cause health and abundance for
our families</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">Our
innate Good which was labeled as sinful -</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">A
culture that created effortlessly and abundantly.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">A
culture that lived abundantly, equitable, contributing and thriving
by doing we loved</span></li>
</ol>
<b style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: large;">What
did women gain by accepting the Eve story?</b><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">A
hierarchical system with women on the bottom, ruled over by men who are ruled over by “god”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">A work ethic that requires human to sweat and be satisfied with “bread”</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">A
state of denial as to what is good for ourselves and those we love and what is not</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">This
story has given way to individuals, groups, governments that target
females because they have the ability and right to discern and to call out what is
destructive. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">Eons of destructive behavior; rape, torture, discounting,
dismissal, and murder stemmed from the dark commitment to
destroy women's will to intuit, stand in clarity and speak the truth. This targeted destruction has informed female decisions to stay small, be nice, be quiet, etc. over the generations. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">This concept, lost in present thought, exists very powerfully in the knowingness of those who hold the agenda of control and usury. They know the power of women to take away their positions.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Time
to put the Garden lie onto the table of awareness. Time to reconnect to the
Garden; the time of women's equality and valuing. Time for women to
stand together from roots deeper, stronger, older than any man made
structure.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Our Lilith
is alive and well and we will never let go of our Wisdom, our Vision,
our Voice and our Love.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: medium;">Then the
world responds and turns from lead into gold. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Critical
thinking begins with a concept. There is nothing that requires that the basic
premise be accurate. Critical thinking is simply a model in which a concept,
any concept, can be taken to its logical conclusion. Therefore, if the concept
is incorrect or jaded, the conclusion will be incorrect or jaded. </span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For example,
many have observed that when some women, who we assume hold a female value
system of wisdom, relationship building, and good for all of life, gets into
corporate or political positions of leadership, she acts like the males
supporting profit over people and we wonder why. Women who have power to set
policy will make decisions and bring better good for all is our concept. Right.
One plus one equals two of course. And so when that does not happen, we wonder
is something amiss with this woman?</span></span></div>

</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What is not
factored into this idea of women in leadership is thatwe exist in a context
created by systems built from agendas. A system that has been weighted over
generations and generations of “male” principles, and I use that term
lightly, is a system rigid in profit, win-lose, you are with us or are the
enemy, domination, obedience to authority, and the diminishing of women. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Traditionally,
the values of women have been seen as: transparency, actions that prioritize
relationships, enhancement of all in the web of life, and encouraging
collaboration. These are a very different agenda, system and would result in a
vastly different situations. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When a woman
goes into the system of control with the expectation that her presence will
cause a change, finds that one plus one does not equal two. It equals one. The
entrenched system of domination comes out on top as the ”one”.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A discussion
table where the others view women as a “token” will diminish, devalue, ignore
and soon her option is to get on board the old boy network or be locked out.
Human beings are smart. They have learned to survive.Any group that has been
discriminated against has learned to side with the controlling group, defend
their actions, mimic their ideas and deny their discrimination. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Women, often
denying the fact, have lived generations in a system that diminishes them.
Women are a group of ‘isms” without knowing it.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It had been
thought that 33% females in leadership positions could bring new ideas for
discussion and even make changes in policy. Recent studies suggest that any
less than 67% females at most leadership tables will be discounted, ignored,
held in contempt or treated with condensation. And if women don’t recognize that
they are victims of a form of ism we will call womanism, they stay small
wondering what is wrong with them when one plus one doesn’t add up to two.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As a woman wakes up<span style="font-size: small;">, see a new vision, the clarity that she will need lots of others holding he<span style="font-size: small;">r hands, having her back as we transition ou<span style="font-size: small;">t of our glorified enslavement... white wom<span style="font-size: small;">an <span style="font-size: small;">"<span style="font-size: small;">privilege<span style="font-size: small;">"<span style="font-size: small;"> that has been our entrapment. Women h<span style="font-size: small;">olding hands with on another puts <span style="font-size: small;">them on the freedom train to the new culture where one plus one will equal two. A culture that values and includes its women<span style="font-size: small;">, that is the two we all want.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Choices Are Made for Birth and for Death</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With deep integrity, Beings of Spirit, no matter how much they want to assist to end suffering, will not step in and direct our show. They will wait for the command/degree from those in physical bodies. We ask, they assist in the doing. We ask, and they assist in whispering the steps. We ask from a soul shift and our command moves the mountains in our lives.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That flies in the face of many personal growth, metaphysical, new age concepts that give the impression that the highest consciousness is to have Universe, Source, Greater Power tell you what is best. We have limited view, you see. Not! The power of choice, command, decree rests with those in physical body suits... you and I!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also very fortunate in that I have had 30 years of experience in asking questions directly to an amazing team of Spiritual teachers in the unseen. I have asked in other's behalf such questions as, "Is this situation manifesting because of inherited concepts, contracts, personal choice, mistaken ideas, etc.?" I was able to ask them, "Does my original plan contain my death this year?" I am finding that there are those who assume why a situation is manifesting. They read another's ideas or experience and take that as their answers. For example, I have two friends both with life threatening cancer diagnosis. As I asked their Higher Selves the reason for the disease, the answer for my first friend was that she had not planned to die at this time and yet she had made a powerful choice to "leave this #!@ planet" because of the deep pain during a relationship breakup. That choice had begun a disease to manifest this wish. When I tried to tell her with the suggestion that she could release the command and do the work to stop the disease, she discounted the information. She was sure that it was only a message from the Universe that she needed to slow down and rest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My second friend asked for my help also. When I checked with her Higher Self, I was told that she had planned that her life would end soon. Cancer was the manifestation of that original plan. And, like me, she was not ready. She listened, understood, made a new choice and is doing the integrated work to re-frame her life. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I was so glad that I clearly understood the law, "Ask and ye shall receive" and had the experience to know what and how to ask.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> Otherwise, when my daughter gave me the information contained in my original plan, I would have bowed to death as the will of Source, who knows best for my life. I would have gotten my affairs in order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have great respect for the intelligence, creativity, vision and generosity of each of my Soul family members. As the spiritual aspect of this physical expression of me, my Soul- like yours- is magnificent beyond our ability to comprehend. I am getting a taste of how carefully we lay plans before we step into a physical body suit. I also know the immense changes that have come about during the last 13 years. Deep shifts that have made what had been impossible, possible. Although my Soul thought I would be ready to leave this year, my conscious self says, "No". That choice is the final say. Fortunately, my physical body had not been impacted by the pending disease to the point where the body could not turn around.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So here I am. A new grandma compressing herself in many ways, including packing boxes for storage in order to be ready for a new home in the fall. Compressing, resting and then choosing that the "explosion" of my own new birth will contain all of the magnificence of our Divine nature.</span><br />

<br />
As I am walking with the awareness of my plan to die in November 2013, various situations in my life take on new significance. Like my friend Wren.<br />
<br />
Wren has lived in Shasta, CA for several years. The past January she decided that she was ready to move to Tuscon, AZ. As she made her plans for the move, she told me that she wanted to come for a visit me on her "way". Let's see. Wren is in Shasta, CA. I live in the Seattle, WA area. Her final destination is Tuscon, AZ. She wants to visit me on her "way" to Tuscon? Do you see my puzzlement?<br />
<br />
Well, I knew that I would certainly enjoy spending time with her anytime and so I was glad to say yes!<br />
<br />
It was during our time on Whidbey Island, time we had to talk, to contemplate, to cook together and to rest that I saw her visit from the "death" plan. In the "death scenario, if she had gone directly to Tuscon, she and I would not have had a "last time" together. In that possibility, this visit would have been a perfect "ending" to our friendship.<br />
<br />
I am amazed at the consideration that went into my life plan, and I am sure into yours. We are not here by chance, by accident, without purpose until we make it up. Because of that, I am staying very vigilant with my inner feelings, spiritual signals and power of my "in the now" command.<br />
<br />
I have gone through the alert stage, the first ultrasound that discovered abnormalities in the thyroid, the medical visits, more extensive ultrasounds, and biopsies. The results of which are in.... no cancer within a 10% or less margin of error in the thyroid and nothing in the lymph.<br />
<br />
Jumping ahead, my doctor who is very thorough, wanted a CT scan on the entire head and neck area. That has been done and all is well!<br />
<br />
So, the projectory toward a death in November has changed dramatically.<br />
<br />
The stage I am in now is working with my spiritual teams, designing a life beyond what was the end. I am sensing the "void", the "slow-down", the "completion" feelings that were part of the first plan as well of the growing excitement for the new.<br />
<br />
Am I thrilled for the previous 30 years of working with spiritual healers and guides who have shown me how to see below the surface, into the shadows, past the minimal answers to discover the true "cause" of situations? I could have taken the standard line that the warning was just about me getting on a more "true" path. NOT! <br />
<br />
We are so much more powerful and central to our lives than we have remembered!<br />

<br />
I cannot believe that it is already May 13! Once a few unexpected medical visits are added to one's calendar, other things, like keeping up with this blog, are crowded out.<br />
<br />
The last time I wrote, I was on my way to have a full ultrasound on my thyroid and surrounding lymph glands. Thankfully, all of the processes so far were rather painless. Never the less, my daughters are now mothering me through this journey. They are taking turns sitting with me, either in the medical office or in the waiting room. <br />
<br />
Just so you know, much of what I am now writing is a catch-up, like telling the story after the fact. Oh well... <br />
<br />
The thyroid ultrasound showed some problematic nodes on the thyroid and in the lymph system. "Next step, " said my medical doctor, "is to have biopsies done on both thyroid and lymph." I agreed. This journey is not about preventing the use of Western medicine. This journey is about not ending my life in November. If more tests are needed to determine the steps the Western medical training would recommend, more tests it is.<br />
<br />
I was told to come prepared to be there for two hours. "Will I need someone to drive me home?" I asked. That would not be necessary I was assured.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, with my daughter, Michelle, by my side, I went for my biopsy. She went into the waiting room and I went into the "lay-down and let us carefully poke your neck" room.<br />

<br />
Two hours later we were on our way home to wait for the results to be sent to my lymph doctor. By now in addition to my regular medical doctor I have two specialist: Endocrine doctor whom I have not met and Ear, Nose, Throat (lymph) doctor who is directing the show.<br />
<br />
As I move forward with the Western pieces, I continue to use my zeolite product, my brown seaweed product, an anti-biotic for a mild sinus infection, Benoite clay packs on the right neck area, Vitamin C and lots of good water. I am in regular communication with my Spiritual team who are fully on board with my new choice to live without an end date. With this new choice, they can notify me with any thing that unbalances my systems, triggers old death energies and keep a vigil on those unseen fields that are the foundations for what becomes physical. I am feeling really quite good.<br />
<br />
My friend Wren is coming to visit me in Seattle on her "way" to a new home in Tuscon, AZ. Does that sound strange? Well, it will not seem so after I share the next installment of my saga along with the results of the biopsies.<br />

<br />
<br />
There are some bits of information that are not helpful for a medical doctor. Telling him that you just found out that you had included the time for your death in your pre-life plans and that date was six months away, is probably something that will cause his eyes to glaze over.<br />
<br />
So, in my appointment with my regular medical physician, I simply brought him the findings from my carotid artery ultrasound with the comment that something irregular was going on in my thyroid. I figured that he would take it from there.<br />
<br />
First, he was puzzled.<br />
<br />
"Why did you have an ultrasound for the caroitid?"<br />
<br />
"Because my Chinese doctor suggested we check out that part of the circulatory system." What I did not way was that Dr. Wang believes in prevention in anyway that will do no harm, <br />
<br />
He asked if I had any thyroid symptom.<br />
<br />
"Well," I replied, "just the strange throat and upper bronchial sensations that we had concluded were allergy related."<br />
<br />
He filled a cup with water and had me drink as he felt the thyroid. Nothing "wrong" that he could detect and yet clearly the ultrasound showed nodules that ought not to be there.<br />
<br />
Next, blood tests to see if there were any indications of thyroid abnormalities from that test. No. Nothing showed up.<br />
<br />
"Well, the next step," he said, "is to go to some specialists; one for the thyroid and one for the lymph which may be involved."<br />
<br />
Oh, did I mention. One member of my family died from thyroid cancer and another had to have her thyroid removed because of cancer.<br />
<br />
With the two appointments set, I went home to resume my regime of zeolite, brown seaweed and clay packs. And, of course, conversations with my spiritual, healing team. My goal is not to prevent testing or surgery. My goal is to prevent my death in November 2013. Whatever it takes.<br />
<br />
Because I respected cancer and death as forms responding to my own plan, I began to have conversations with them. What was the message that cancer had for me? What was the job that I had given death? What in my energy fields will prevent their release? What in any of my bodies (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) needs more attention in order to let go of my original plan?<br />

As I shared with a few friends who do healing work, the suggestion was made that I gather all of my strength and resources to "fight" cancer.<br />
<br />
That did not fit my model of this world. My approach was that I had always been in charge. Death had been my choice at some point and was therefore not my "enemy". In conversations with cancer and death I valued their insight, awareness and contribution. We were on the same side. The side of causing my soul growth and accomplishing my soul's plan. They became valuable members of my team.<br />
<br />
The first specialist, the lymph doctor- Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat, rushed me into an appointment for a full ultrasound on my thyroid and lymph.<br />
<br />
Let's see what shows up with this full on look.<br />

<br />
As you might guess, when I told my children about the possibility of my death, my new choice and the ultra-sound discovery of problems in the thyroid, they were worried.<br />
<br />
No, it was not okay with them for me to do my own work and then recheck the thyroid in one month.<br />
Because I value, needless to say, my relationships with my children, I agreed to make an appointment with my medical doctor. Then, a new turn of events.<br />
<br />
I woke up one morning at 3:20 am. Not super unusual, regular sleep break. Then, for the next 2 hours I lay, relaxed, lay, relaxed, lay, quieted my mind, lay... you get the picture.<br />
<br />
Just as I was ready to nod off... my alarm went off! This is the same alarm that I had reset the night before because I didn't have an early morning call. Yet, here it was, going off. I touched my iPhone screen, turned over and took a deep breath, still time for a bit of sleep. But, no. I had touched the "snooze" link of the alarm and so it buzzed to alert me again.<br />
<br />
For the next hour, I had alarms going off that I didn't see were set when I checked last nite. In all, 7 alarms between 3:50 am and the "real" one at 7:55 am.<br />
<br />
What is with that?<br />
<br />
Fortunately I have had years to notice energy at the various dimensions of our world. I will not ignore this mornings "alarms" or pass them off as "mistakes" or be angry at the disruptions. Energy, in whatever vibrational form it comes, carries information. With my current journey to stop my own "death" plan, it would be very foolhardy to not recoginize the energy forms of "alarms" and take time to get the message.<br />
<br />
First, off to my morning job I said to those sending the alarms, "I got the message that I need to listen. I will take the time right after work and so you can relax, no more alarms." I find that this type of acknowledgement and conversation is important. Working with Spiritual beings is a two way conversations, no assumptions on my part that they are reading my mind.<br />

<br />
<br />
Later that day, I sent to the sacred space I have used for years. Quieted my body, stilled my mind and made myself available to the information that comes beyond the "hearing" of my ears.<br />
<br />
My first question, "Who knows the reason for the alarms?"<br />
<br />
"I do," came the inner answer.<br />
<br />
"What is your message for me?"<br />
<br />
"There are more movements in the unseen energy fields that were there to support your plan to end your time in the physical body. Since you have changed that choice, you will need to address the complex energy forms that in process."<br />
<br />
"How many patterns," I ask.<br />
<br />
"There."<br />
<br />
And so I turned my attention to ones would could give voice to those patterns which, I discovered, came from past experiences. Using processes from my energy healing toolbox, I discovered the patterns came from experience from the times when women were tortured, burned, and killed by those who feared their power to change structures of domination.The concepts were that life on Earth is not safe, being females is not safe, death is the outcome when a woman speaks out.<br />
<br />
I used my Spiritual healing team to embrace and transform those patterns, release the aspects of myself that had been killed, and dissipated the death vibrations.<br />
<br />
Messages send, received and applied.<br />
<br />
My choice to remain on the planet is in tact...<br />
<br />
Now, off to my medical doctor for the Western medical piece.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I had paid attention to the information from my daughter. I had checked out the validity of the information with my own Spiritual team and found it accurate. I had made the choice to change the death that I had evidently planned for myself. Now what?<br />
<br />
<br />
Now... I went on with my activities with the underlying command, "I am living a long, healthy, meaningful life in this body suit on this planet." Yes, a command. I have moved very far along the choice line from , "God gives me life situations and my responsibility is to do the best I can with them" to "I pray and hopefully god is out there to listen" to "God who?" to "I can change my life by changing my thoughts.... sometimes" to "I can have input into my life" to "I am the commander of my life within the greater web of energy response that holds all of us." That may make sense to some and no sense at all to others. For me, it is a very powerful stand in which no one and no thing is a more impact in my life than me. And, it is not about control of all things.<br />
<br />
But I digress...<br />
<br />
As I have said, I made an appoint to see Dr. Wang. By then, I had decided to ask about the heaviness I sometimes felt in my bronchial area and my shortness of breath when I did a bit of strenuous walking such as going up stairs. I had told my medical doctor over the past 3-4 years and he could find nothing wrong. Even the clinic training naturopaths offered no solutions. He took all of the pulses, listened to my, heart, lungs and bronchial area. He asked about family history, checked more and said with a rather heavy Chinese accent, "Heart good, lungs clear". Then he used a words I had never heard in my medical experience, "prevention" and "do no harm." I almost laughed.<br />
<br />
He suggested that I could get an ultrasound of the carotid arteries that run on either side of the neck to take blood to the brain. There was no indication of problem, just as a baseline of that part of my circulatory system. Sounded good to me.<br />
<br />
So the next day I am laying on a table having the ultra sound. The technician asks about my thyroid. Did I have hypo or hyper activity? "No," I replied. "Why?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPekFqSDSVd9Gwftjv6IqbAyqCGnEN5gMNjiUy8xtk8HkvS35vIO1sbDCVZ0hrnhBzT2xPEOswxY__3xfgfOAVqxtwSR7WgP744k8izQokn-nxTORPuDoGfDx-8LXYXCbrxjLKTduhjqBs/s1600/thyroid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPekFqSDSVd9Gwftjv6IqbAyqCGnEN5gMNjiUy8xtk8HkvS35vIO1sbDCVZ0hrnhBzT2xPEOswxY__3xfgfOAVqxtwSR7WgP744k8izQokn-nxTORPuDoGfDx-8LXYXCbrxjLKTduhjqBs/s200/thyroid.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
"Well," there are some abnormalities there, especially in the right thyroid. Because the carotids are next to the thyroid, we often catch problems that would otherwise go undetected. She even let the "c" word slip out. "I grew up in the downwind area of the nuclear testing.... one type of radiation is stored in the thyroid," I said as she knowingly nodded her head. "I will make a note of this on the report to your doctor," she said.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I left the building, I asked my Spiritual team, "So, was this the way I would have had my life end?" "Yes," they replied. "And you could not have warned me because it was an expression of my plan to die?" "That is correct. Until you changed your plan, we had to honor your original word that you would be leaving this body this year. The way your end came would not have been a mistake, the result of negative thinking, because an external "god" wanted you home, or because you were finished with what you wanted to do. Some lives do end earlier than they had originally planned. That is not the case with you. Your death this year would have been the result of the plan you had made before coming into the body suit."<br />
<br />
"Once you had made a new choice, worked to change the underlying energy fields, and commanded a different outcome, we had permission, indeed requirement, to show you the components that were building to end your life. The "brain glitches" were message givers. We trusted that you would ask us about them and then we could get you to Dr. Wang who would get you to the ultrasound. Even the technician played her part. How many technician tell you anything about what they are seeing? Her friend had been saved from thyroid cancer because of a similar chance ultrasound. The words just slipped out."<br />
<br />
"Well, now I know what to do," I said.<br />
<br />
I went home and began taking a cleansing level of <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/032265_zeolites_radiation.html" target="_blank">zeolite</a> and a healing amount of <a href="http://www.lumena.info/" target="_blank">brown seaweed</a>. Both used to remove radiation and to prevent cancer. And I created quiet space to begin conversations with the thyroid energy and a body design team in spirit. I totally know that the woo-woo work of the unseen lays and changes the foundations from which the physical manifests. I had more work to do.... and my children to tell.<br />

Some might wonder about getting the information about pending "death" from some Spiritual Guides. I will tell you. Someone who knows that we are multi-dimensional beings. Someone who knows that we all exist in unseen fields of energy. Someone who understands that the "web of life" is not a word picture but words for what is truth. Someone who understands that the unseen fields of energy become/influence that tactile fields of energy of touch, taste, feel, see, hear that most call the "real" world.<br />

Like Einstein suggested and has been proven, when you take matter/physical and speed up the components/atoms/quanta, it becomes energy/unseen or spiritual.<br />
<br />
Because those of us who work within the energy fields/dimensions beyond the 1, 2 and 3 of what our physical sensing system can discern, dis-ease or other problems can be identified and therefore "healed" or changed.<br />
<br />
Our innate abilities to work within all of the various fields of our live, Spiritual, Emotional, Mental and Physical has been "hidden in the shadows". The shadows of fear, of torture, of dis-counting, of domination, of over 300 years of witch hunts and burning times was enough to force us into obedience to outside voices.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for me, I was called and trained as a radical mystic and so for over 30 years have been taught to re-member. With all of those years and experience under my belt, the first place to go with the news of my planned "death" was to my proven Spiritual team.<br />
<br />
My ability is ask questions within sacred, protected space and to get accurate answers. So, this was the time ask.... Death? Why? When? What does that mean? Do I have any choice in this end result?<br />
<br />
And so I took the time to be in quiet, sacred space to ask and listen. This is what I discovered about what was held in the energy fields beyond physical. I am sharing how this fits within my own personal belief structure of how life is designed.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>In the plan that I made for my life with the advisers who worked with me as a "soul" before I was birthed into this body suit and this lifetime, I had placed the exit time for this year... my 72nd year.</li>
<li>The date was to be late November of 2013. </li>
<li>Yes, I did have the right, authority and power to override that exit date. (which is what I had done even before I spent time to understand this more clearly.)</li>
</ol>
<br />
Within 2 weeks of having set a new staff in the ground to say, "No! I am not going to leave this body, this life, this family, these friends, these projects, this adventure", I had two brain glitches. The happened a day apart from each other.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I was teaching a class. I went to say and word and my mouth would not make the shape for the word to happen. It took about three tries until the shape of my mouth was correct. Troubling.</li>
<li>The next day I was talking to another business on the phone. They asked for my address. My mind could not sort out is the number sequence was 345 or 543... I had to read the address off of an envelope. More troubling...</li>
</ol>
<br />
I immediately went to my Spiritual team and asked, "Is there some neurological problem that I need to be aware of?"<br />
<br />
"No," they answered. "And make an appointment to see Dr. Wang."<br />
<br />
Dr Wang is a Chinese medical doctor who was trained in China using long acupuncture needles for the brain. He worked with individuals who had suffered a stroke and had worked on my daughter Carolyn after her car accident. I thought that perhaps he would be able to "trigger on" whatever my brain may have been stuck with.<br />

<br />
How wrong I was! I learned, again, that we usually do not know ahead of time the "whys" of life. <br />

<br />
Late February, 2013<br />
A daughter has informed me that through her own personal spiritual guidance that my life would be ending soon and that she and the family needed to get prepared.<br />
<br />
I am shocked. I have spent the past three weeks evaluating the condition of my body, my mind, my memory, my energy level and they have all passed with flying colors. I have been telling everyone that in every way, my physical body and mind are better at 71 and 1/2 years old than 10 years ago.<br />
<br />
So... off I go to my Spiritual team. "Is this information true?" I ask.<br />
<br />
"Oh yes," comes back the answer.<br />
<br />
"Well," I reply, "death is not going to happen! My life, my body, my choice!"<br />
This woman took a strong stand for herself!<br />
<br />
You see, I was raised in a religious culture that used god to answer all of the difficult questions.<br />
"Why did my dad die?"<br />
"God needed his help."<br />
"Why is my brother so sick?"<br />
"God is testing him."<br />
"Why does Grandpa act so mean?"<br />
"Because God is waiting for him to learn obedience." And on and on and on...<br />
<br />
Well, I am no longer a child. I no longer buy the "god" thing. Over the years, I have developed my own credo, my own value system. It is based on personal experience by working with the concepts, the laws that say,<br />
<ul>
<li>"Ask and you shall receive."</li>
<li>"As a man thinketh, so is he."</li>
<li>"In the beginning was the Word.... my word."</li>
</ul>
<br />
I was ready to say NO to Death in a very big way.<br />
<br />
For three days I applied all of the spiritual guidance, information, healing, transformation, and healing processes that I knew. Along the way I would ask, "Is the death plan gone?"<br />
<br />
I continued the work until the answer from my Spiritual team came back, "yes".<br />
<br />
That was the first phase of this journey that I didn't know would open up to me now.<br />
<br />
What will happen next? Learning I am sure.<br />
<br />
I'll share and take you with me on this walk from Death. Doors will have to be opened as I choose the possibility of a greater expression of Life in this physical body suit.<br />
<br />
Blessings,<br />

She came to me in Spring 1997 as I sat on Orcas Island to rejuvenate from a very intense care giving time for my daughter, Carolyn.<br />

<br />
How far back can we go? Not far enough to reconnect with the original reason for gender.<br />
<br />
Sexuality and procreation you say?<br />
<br />
You would be wrong?<br />
<br />
How dare I postulate?<br />
<br />
Well, a radical mystic, which is what I am, does not rely on traditional "history", written "experts", or assumptions made from archeological digs. As fun as they are to read and consider, they do not contain truths about our beginning and history.<br />
<br />
How do I know?<br />
<br />
Well, in 1971, I was curious about connecting with "god"to get advise about raising my growing family. My husband and I had four daughters and had set the goal of twelve, as crazy as that seems in today's world. My "tradition" said that it was my role as a woman to birth children, lots of them, arrows for "god".<br />
<br />
Over the next four years I could ask any question and there a presence appeared with advise and answers. I found the information accurate and in some cases, life changing.<br />
<br />
In 1975, my life took a major turn. My husband was killed in a car accident and was buried the day before our 8th child was born. After that, I turned to those in the unseen more often with questions in my new role as mother and father. The stories of that part of my journey are for another time, except to say that for the next fourteen years those spiritual teachers proved invaluable.<br />
<br />
In 1989 I was faced with the options to learn about crystals, chakras and hands-on energy work. During that process, I discovered that going ay the present pace of healing was too slow for the gifts that my clients had. So, I asked my spiritual team to lead me to a teacher who taught a deeper process of "going to the cause of humanity's pain, limits and self-sabotage."<br />
<br />
I was told that it (going to the "cause") was not being done on the planet and if I wanted to offer deeper work, I would have to learn the hidden history from them. My spiritual teachers of over 18 years offered to become my guides on this new adventure.<br />
<br />
Sounded good to me and so we began.<br />
<br />
I learned that each individual on the plane is here as a part of a galactic, divine mission. Each has also chosen a specific purpose for this lifetime. I worked with that information and it lead to the question, "Is there an assigned or divine mission for women and for men. Is there a "bigger" reason a soul chooses to incarnate into a female body rather than a male body for a current life?"<br />
<br />
Doubting that a gender mission was the case, I was surprised to learn that "Yes, there is a divine mission for each gender. For female is it using power and for male it is unconditional love." Women lead and men nurture? We have that backwards on the planet, I thought.<br />
<br />
And so began my deeper quest as to why, what, how and when. <br />
<br />
Put very simply, there are two parts to the Original Female Mission.<br />
<ul>
<li>1st part... To come into the body suit designed as female. Then walk this new planet, for it was a new planet/experience for our greater family, connect with the energies of the earth/Mother. With this connection in place females were to design and manaifest a plan for the support and thriving of those who were coming on this mission to the planet. The female was to work with Mother earth and design the "garden". Wandering, growing, gathering, planting, perhaps wandering to a new spot to design, plant, grow, and gather again. It was her job to make sure there would be <b>sustenance for the coming family</b>. This was not a "birthing of children" stage. During this time, the male's assignment was to nurture, encourage, affirm unlimited possibility and bring love to her endeavors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>2nd part... Once the female knew the growing/manifesting process, recognized her part in it, tasted and knew the outcome of her design, she was ready for the next phase. This phase required preparation and so the keeper of this female mission of wisdom, the activator of the solar plexus chakra, came into the lush garden and invited the female to come and be taught. "I will teach you to know the manifestations, <b>to taste the difference of good as opposed to the manifestations that will come from energies of "evil"</b>. One will cause your mission family to thrive and the other will cause them to constrict and live in limits." The women's job, and I would add my opinion - the most critical job, was to discern which energy and forms would enliven the family and which energy and forms would constrict the family. Along with this r<b>esponsibility of discernment, only the female had the authority to command the constriction/poisons from her garden and off the planet</b>. Clearing of all energy and forms of entrapment, constrictions, toxins, etc from the planet was intended to be done before any children were birthed.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUXgnJDO6EzTWG37vuSke0u6AUBAlbM_apPcA0tT3k6hCADBSoKXxUHleLh6e0WC0kFhHBmAxZwwk_LOVtfN0HS0KS7F0qKMHLSJ3A628svlfXPUM45FsRm7a86qEeRQuMCiMUNzSu7Ot/s1600/lawn+to+garden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCUXgnJDO6EzTWG37vuSke0u6AUBAlbM_apPcA0tT3k6hCADBSoKXxUHleLh6e0WC0kFhHBmAxZwwk_LOVtfN0HS0KS7F0qKMHLSJ3A628svlfXPUM45FsRm7a86qEeRQuMCiMUNzSu7Ot/s1600/lawn+to+garden.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<br />
And so, the missing Sacred Female Mission is not about being present, acknowledged, heard and in balance with our soul family members in Male body suits. It is not even about being the visionaries. It is about females being present in a specific way, with a specific purpose. <b>It was the female presence and voice that was to design systems for thriving, to dictate policy that benefited all in the web of life AND it was the female who had the authority to discern what was toxic to the web, and to be heard. It was female who was to be obeyed as she commanded the elimination and removal of all forms of entrapment, occupation, toxic creations, deceitful information, abusive behaviors, greed based agendas, etc.</b><br />
<br />
Adding females living their original divine assignment as the leadership for this planet with men who bring all of their heart/love strength and vision to female design and discernment work will cause the shift we have been missing since the beginning of our planet's history. <br />
<br />
Female mission is not about procreation. What is lacking is not male/female balance. Those are traditionally accepted concepts that will keep our world trapped.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318539219742224060.post-10526276309731844962013-03-01T09:36:00.000-08:002013-03-13T20:43:12.052-07:00March, 2013 and Women are Marching<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">

<br />
The year is 2012. The focus in the United States is on Occupy, on the elections and on terrorism. And, women are on the move.<br />
<br />
What does women on the move mean?<br />
<br />
More women in the Olympics<br />
Women in more corporate positions<br />
Women speaking out about domestic abuse and violence<br />
Women traveling around the world<br />
Women saying "no" to war in their village<br />
Women breaking the silence about the impact of partriarichial systems<br />
Women encouraging women to run for political office<br />
Women speaking of the Goddess in religious circles <br />
Young girls standing up to power to say No to altered body images...<br />
<br />
and more....<br />
<br />
Some will say this movement is good. Others will say it is bad. What determines?<br />
<br />
Like everything in our lives, our view is the result of our inner world of beliefs. If I hold the concept that women belong in the home; cooking, cleaning, raising children, and keeping life smooth for their "man", then I might judge the increased numbers of women in the workplace as "bad".<br />
<br />
If I view life as an opportunity for each individual to explore and discover what brings them joy then I might judge the increased options for women outside of the home as "good".<br />
<br />
Women on the move is creating a new culture in which we will see our own dogma and inner concepts about being female show up in our thoughts, emotions or actions. Realizing that all that we believe is only one way of seeing the world, is a made up concept and that we can mature beyond our limited thinking is the gift for humanity.<br />
<br />
Will we open the box of our minds and let in the new gifts of seeing male/female differently? <br />
