Flower Essences and Flower Archetypes

February 16, 2011
Flowers. I am fashioning a plan to grow special flowers. Special because they have a special purpose. The unique energetic pattern of each flower is to be transferred into a flower essence. This is sacred work.

Today all I have in physical reality is a small cardboard box containing seeds in envelopes with the name of the flower written upon it. I also have some supplies: raised beds, fertilizer, gardening tools, drip line. On my computer and in books I have information on each flower – its botanical name, what kind of sun or shade it likes, whether it’s an annual or perennial, and when to plant it. So far so good. On the energetic level, I have supplies of another kind. Land that the elementals love where they can live and express themselves in freedom. My genesa crystal that pulls in energy from within a mile radius, cleans it, and spins it back out: a continuous energy filtration device. And most importantly, I have my team of elementals and White Brotherhood members who are constantly available to me, helping me with every detail. They will let me know which seed to plant where and when. What fertilizer each plant needs. How much and when to water. And in the crucial moment, when to pick the blossoms and the exact procedure to transmute the essence from the petals to the water. And finally the exact procedure to bond the essence more strongly to the water and to preserve it for purity over time.

Everything I do, every decision we make together must be recorded and the results evaluated in order to inform our future decisions. Because this will be ground-breaking work. The procedures we develop will not be exactly those that are in use today. As we traverse this untrodden path, we will be creating a new map in our consciousness of what flower essences are and how they are to be used. We will also be including the flowers of new plants that will be coalescing onto our planet once we are able to welcome them with the right conditions for them to flourish. The archetypes of these flowers already exist. They may actually be already growing on other planets that are experiencing a higher dimension of consciousness and embodiment than our own. Once our planet shifts to a higher frequency, these archetypes may find that they can actualize here.

This is actually the way evolution happens, not through random changes in the DNA of existing plants as is sometimes thought. Instead, these seemingly random changes in DNA may in fact be a deliberate change initiated by an archetype in order to manifest a new plant. Everything in physical form must have an existence in consciousness first, or it would not be here. The archetype or deva, is the blueprint in consciousness for that particular form. The nature spirit for that form works with the archetype to ground that form into physical reality onto our planet.

In the case of plants, the seeds carry the DNA and are the transmission device used by Nature for the germination of new plants. But the seeds alone cannot create new life. Only through the action of the archetype and the nature spirits can new life form and grow. This is why GMO crops are barely alive and cannot carry much life force to feed our bodies. We are trying to supplant Nature’s archetype with one of our own. The nature spirit for that plant can’t properly align with the true archetype of the plant. So the amount of vital force that can be held by the plant is extremely limited. This is the opposite of what is occurring on my land where the current vibrant green cover crop is radiant with vital force energy. It is this vital force energy that will be infused into the flowers I will grow and that will allow the creation of potent and powerful flower essences.

A Surfer on the Crest

February 2, 2011

Excitement and stillness. The flames of the spirit and the well of the spirit. Today you feel the flame so intensely it’s difficult to even track the calm well of stillness within. How to steady the flame without quenching it? Yes, you know your soul is eternal and that eternal stillness abides within you. But this certainty of knowing is not enough. You still feel like a gerbil running in its race, turning, turning, hurry, hurry, hurry. You affirm a plentitude of time, but your affirmation is not enough. You see the giddy happiness in the faces of Egyptians on TV, and you identify with the release and excitement they are feeling. They are not relaxed, not serene. They are as excited and joyous as you are. And with good cause. A new realm of possibility is before the Egyptians and before you. So naturally your heart beats faster and you struggle to regain calm.

The women in your group are urging you to slow down, don’t put so much on your plate. But you find that you can’t say no to the opportunities that are arising. Your clarity about your priorities is helping you now. Simplify. Use money to save time. Find someone to teach you WordPress and Ning or someone to do these tasks for you. Find someone to bring the right bee hives onto your land. You have stored energy in the form of money that needs to be released in order for you to accomplish your tasks. People in your larger environment are waiting to help you, waiting to collaborate with you. You can create shopping lists for the people you want. Write down the skills you need these people to have and the higher qualities you need them to possess in order to work with you. Honesty, integrity, genuineness and an understanding of fair energy exchange. Read your lists daily and see these people in your life. You know all this. It’s just Basic Manifestation 101. You’ve used these laws before, you know they work. It’s just that you haven’t completely taken in the fact that you need colleagues in your endeavors and this is the straight-forward way to get them.

It’s fortunate that you’re such an experienced facilitator, because at least you already know how to coordinate work in a group. The groups you assemble will be more fluid now than the groups you coordinated in the past, where you hired people for long-term positions. This will be more like contracted piece work, but the principles of coordinating a team to achieve goals will be the same. As before, your vision will be key. Relax into the knowledge that you know how to do the vision thing and that you will be successful again.

Keep exercising. Breathe. Breathe some more. Don’t try to stop the energy or diminish its intensity. Ride the energy like a surfer on the crest of the wave. And remember that you are loved always and forever.

Uniquely Shaped

January 26, 2011
Vibrant green. Andrew says he’s never seen a cover crop so vibrantly green as the crop in my front yard’s raised beds. Daffodils spring up alongside our driveway. The chickens are brooding. It’s as if we’re having Spring in January. People are more vibrant as well. There’s an extra sparkle in my husband’s eyes. “Uniquely shaped” as John O’Donohue says. Each person’s unique shape is clearer and more precious. Sometimes I think I can hardly stand so much beauty.

I remember the 1950’s and how black-and-white the world seemed then. As in the movie The Wizard of Oz, the black-and-white of the 50’s changed into the kodachrome of the late 60’s. I remember the excitement and newly found freedom of those days. We pushed back boundaries and explored the realm of self. We brought in so many new ideas in such a short amount of time. And then the push-back. Reaganomics. The corporate world regaining control. Endless war. We were doing the hard work of grounding the principles of equality and justice into our laws, our workplaces, and our most intimate relationships. This work is still on-going, but look at the diversity of leaders we have today – all races and both sexes represented. There is even a transgendered person working at the White House – and her message to us is “be your unique self and if at first you are not accepted, stay true to yourself and things will get better. In time, you will find yourself among those who believe in you and you will make a difference in the world.” The past 40 years has been a hard slog of working to bring the possibilities unveiled in the late 60’s into the fruition of today.

Today the times have again shifted. Now we awaken each day into a new era of excitement and immense possibility. Our current era is a time of such intense inflowing of energy that it makes the 60’s look staid by comparison. The 60’s were the dress rehearsal. This is the performance itself. Everyone is caught up in the increasing waves of energy that are engulfing our planet. Making the greens greener, people’s eyes more sparkling, and the chickens broodier. People who are riding the energy waves are flowing, their unique soul shapes more perceptible to all. Our president is one of them, his words last night brimming with optimism and his optimism demonstrating his knowledge and mastery of the laws of abundance.

Other people are not riding the energy waves. They are trying to stop the energy, stop the changes. They are living in profound fear and struggle. Instead of the vibrant colors, they see darkness and the blood red of anger. They are missing the beauty, the joy, and the excitement. They are missing the opportunity to define and refine the shape of who they are in their unique souls. This is a choice they are free to make, as universal law gives free will to all souls. I salute them all and wish them well on their journey. My wish for each of you who hear or read my words is that you enjoy every drop of the sweet heady nectar of these glorious times.

The Beginning of Joy

Jan 19, 2011
The tide has shifted. The time of learning and absorbing has reached its high water mark and now you will find yourself engaged in the giving out and dissemination of the words that flow from who you are and what you have learned. This shift is causing a small misalignment, a bit of flickering of the light within you due to self-doubt and self consciousness. You know that you’re prepared but it’s still a bit daunting. You are aware of old patterns of introversion and you know how to push them out of your field. You have chosen to place yourself among those whose light, energy and determination match your own. Your challenge is to see that they do match your own, and that you are in fact among your peers.

You are remembering your experience at 17, traveling to Wise University, a place populated by valedictorians. And you felt less than some of those others who seemed so much more brilliant than yourself. As you progressed through the four years of your studies there, you found that yes, this was an exciting and challenging environment, and also that yes, these were your peers and you truly belonged among them.It is good for you now to remember this youthful experience and to know that the self-doubt you feel today will evaporate as is did before all those decades ago.

So you have chosen another exciting and challenging environment to play in. How to calm the flickering jitters inside you? Take time every day to center. Call on us, your colleagues, to be present with you for some small amount of time each day. Test and take you flower essences and perhaps the homeopathic remedies Silica and Gelsemium. They are your old friends, well-known and loved by you. Walk and breathe. Be determined to stay calm. And also accept that this shift within you will inevitably cause some heightened feelings of excitement and that is OK.

Beyond these small therapies there is a greater one. You know and believe that all souls are one, all created as droplets spun out from the ocean of the Great Creator. Each soul infinitely beautiful and precious. This is reality. No better, no worse, no higher, no lower. Just all of us creating our universe and our world from our soul-consciousness. Can you take your stand in that field of reality and hold firm? Refuse to budge from it no matter what your veiled mind may tell you? Each soul infinitely beautiful and precious. Can you see each person you meet as that? Can you see self as that? Can you smile at each person from your soul, pushing aside the veil for a moment, so you both can see the transcendent reality behind it? In this is the end of self-doubt and the beginning of joy.

The Yummy-ness Challenge

December 14, 2010

We ride with the Sun into our future. If “future” be what you name it. In reality, it’s like a thread pulled and separated out of a woven cloth. Except that the thread never really separates from the cloth. We ride with the Sun into a section of space where the ever-spiraling waves of energy are more intense. The increasing intensity of these waves is what is causing the changes we are now experiencing. As inevitable a change as night changing into day. Each of us requested the opportunity to be here for the show, and each of us was one of the ones chosen. Each of us chose a role to play and we each recognize that choice in ourselves and each other. That’s why the connections between us feel so nourishing, so right. Because we recognize that place in self and other where we made a choice and where we remember that we made a choice. Thank goodness that this remembering is solid and can be relied on. It abides within us as other things pass away.

And what of those who can’t remember and don’t want to remember? Those who are hankering for a less intense time and who refuse to be pulled kicking and screaming into the future of our planet? They just say no. Thank goodness for them that they don’t have to go. Our wonderful rules of soul development say that they can take all the time they please. Or the rules would say that if “time” was real. Instead of “time”, let’s say “yummy-ness”. They can use all the lovely yummy-ness they need. They can extravagantly drape themselves in gossamer silks of yummy-ness and wear sparkling yummy-ness jewels and eat banquets of yummy-ness foods until they’re as stuffed and sated with it as they want to be. There’s no hurry, no worry.

Except for you, there’s a bit of a challenge. Which you totally signed up for, so that’s OK too. And that is that many people, maybe 40% of the people here now will be leaving your dimension of existence and you won’t be physically seeing them while they’re physically gone from the planet as you experience it. Which is perfectly OK, they are still their incredible divine selves and you are still connected with them through the oneness of all. It’s just a bit disconcerting and will at times jangle you, and at times sadden you and at times even rock you so that you feel the earth under you may not be as solid as you wish. Stay in your center and allow all these things to pass so that you may offer sound and sensible counsel to those that need it.

Lunar Eclipse

December 8, 2010

Lunar eclipse on the night of the 20th and the early hours of the 21st. Magic in the moonlight. The solstice drawing us closer to that which is coming. I feel it drawing me like a tide. I want to be swept away in its beguiling waters and flung out on the shore of our destiny, my hair in tangles and my heart bewitched by the pulse of the universe flowing through me.

And so it will be.

I Can't Find Him

December 8, 2010

I can’t find him in my dreaming. Last night I looked, and I may have glimpsed him. He was there like a shadow behind his brother Dickon. Only because I saw Dickon did I realize that the other one there – the shadow – was probably Thor. Right now Dickon is the one who links us – we can only see each other darkly through him.

I’m not sure why this matters or why the current separation brings me sadness. I’m sure that there is a future time where we are together in light. So that is sufficient. It’s not necessary to untangle the current situation or to understand why this separation is present. It’s just story anyway and doesn’t have any more relevance than the news does to what is really happening. Worry and sadness and longing are ineffective use of resources, and I know this so I vigilantly detach myself from them and turn my attention to more productive and happier thoughts. Clear out my chakras, bring in light, and go on with my day. Often working with others who ask for connection, putting aside in my mind the one I love who does not ask.

You know, I’ve done this before. Almost everyone has. There’s the end of a love affair when the other wants to leave before you are ready. It’s not your choice, but you must accept, know it’s over and move on. There’s suffering, you try to move it out of your field and focus on other things, knowing that it will get better and your life will fill up with love again. With the love affair, you can cut your ties to the other completely. Or you can just loosen them and put lots of space between both of you for a year or two. Then sometimes, if you’re lucky and the other person wants it, you can find each other again in a life-long friendship. This is what happened between me and my close friend who I know, love and trust down to the ground of my being. As he does me.

With your child, the option of cutting ties completely doesn’t exist. Or at least it doesn’t exist as an option for me, and I don’t believe it exists for him either. So there is another resolution in store for us. Maybe I’ll try the plan that worked so well for my friend and me those decades ago. Put lots of space and light between us for a year or two and see what happens.
