I have a question

There are two key driven forces along human history: love and power. Adam and Eve, the Trojan war, Romeo and Julia, Ghandi, Luther King or millions of unknown life stories of migrants who moved to distant lands following their beloved would be just but a modest account of love driven actions. On the power side, wars, massacres, rapes, tortures, male domination would quickly summarise the contribution of power to move human history.

The scientific domain has approached these two forces with a completely different ways. Many professions and disciplines have contributed to enhance, sustain or countervail many forms of power and domination. Other disciplines have devoted their effort to deal with the consequences of power or to understand the logic and the mechanism that sustain and enhance power.

Instead, love has received a completely different treatment. Its creation or empowerment has been left out of the scientific domain. It belongs to what has been labelled as the spiritual one, in a short perspective the religious domain, or to the field of arts. Most spiritual approaches have love at the core of their essence. Hundreds of pages, and kilometres of canvas or films have been produced to show or express love in one way or another.

Curiously, science only deals with the consequences of the lack of love and only in rare exceptions love is the core discourse in a scientific document. Most health related sciences and some social sciences devote their efforts to deal with the consequences of unhealthy relationships and suffering.

If love is one of the engines moving the world –and most probably the most important one- then why it has been left out of the scientific domain, why the power of love is not at the core of scientific practices?

My actions

Each of my acts
is an act of love,
so by whom they brush
will feel in their touch
the whisper of God.

===============================

My beloved family,

Full of joy I write you these lines to share with you the amazing gifts life has given me in the lasts months. To be, experience, live and learn.

Since I arrived I have been discovering a very beautiful and deep part of this universe; our beloved mother; myself. Sometimes quite painful to see what is happening for anger, hate, selfishness and ignorance are manifesting in many ways, destructing life.

So it is I have come to meet death and destruction of our brothers and sisters from all the realms, animal, mineral, vegetal and human, ancient knowledge and tradition, all elements and life being poisoned and abused for selfish purposes, forests being poisoned bringing death to all of its inhabitants, war and hate, lies, hunger, sickness and life in all of its most pure forms such as children and nature ´s spirits in the middle of it all.

Of course my dear friends it is not my intention to fill you with sadness through my words, but this is ALSO happening, and a part of the REALITY which is being lived here.

There is also an other side…

All these events have encouraged light beings to unite in order to strengthen the light and love which is already present to bring a change, I have met beautiful souls who, even though they are in the middle of such an amazing confusion, harmonize their lives and are starting amazing projects in order to keep and strengthen this balance around them.

Various indigenous groups are organizing with their medicine on a spiritual level through ceremonies and also on a social and political level.

Grateful I am for I could assist to the first meeting of Andean cultures which took place in Pasto, Nariño, Colombia. Here, were present Taitas (shamans), Grandfathers and Grandmothers, healers, dancers and artists from native peoples from Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala, USA (Lakota) and from all over Colombia. These many brothers and sisters gathered with as purpose to share their traditional knowledge on many fields, such as agriculture, sustainable living, social organization, work through the different Sacred Medicines, healing through the elements and their elementals, expression, art, the medicine of our beloved and sacred grandmother Ayahuasca was shared through many native traditions, Inipi ceremonies and different cleansing, healing, harmonizing and offering ceremonies were held ALL aiming at finding once again the BALANCE with our Mother Earth and all the brothers and sisters we share this life with.

This, my dear brothers, sisters, is a great blessing. The knowledge which had been kept for so long is now being shared, given to all of those who have an open heart and want to listen. In the same way the medicines were shared, united, strengthened. Blessings!

I assisted to a Lowampi ceremony, the Dance of the Spirits ceremony from the Lakota tradition and the Governor also assisted with his family! Ayahuasca ceremonies were organized for them! The Governor asked all of the Elders for advice in how to govern! The fact all of this is taking place wakes a great joy and hope for the earth, these are great changes!

This land is the keeper of ancient secrets and its ancestors are very present, keeping the magic, the power, the knowledge. I have visited beautiful places which are still untouched by pollution and ignorance of the humans. Blessed be! From this place to all of you I have sent a string of light, we are all connected! I send you love, for what I live is now also part of you and this land awaits you with love and infinite light.

♥

From all of those meetings there is something which was shared and I find very important to spread around, so here it comes! (it’s about feminine power, but I really want to invite men to read it also and SPREAD IT AROUND!!!!)

It is a message which was given by the Elders of the Kogi tradition, which held a session in order to consult with the different Earth Spirits about these tides we are living in and why so many destructing changes are coming from the Earth:

Us, women, are the carriers of life, we are life givers and this is an amazing gift! It is the creative energy, the capacity of bringing new life to the Earth: we are gates or portals of life into this dimension!!! (of course not without you guys!)

Women flow on a lunar rhythm, and once this period has come to closure; our body cleanses itself through the flow of blood which takes all which was needed for the creation of new life in order to renew this energy.

The dear sisters who read this may well know why this Lunar period is considered to be Sacred: At this moment Women are on their highest moment of power, to the point that in many native (patriarchal) traditions women are put away from the community for the fear to great power they then posses! From one of the Shamans I even heard this sentence: “When a woman is in her Moon period, she might come to have more power than the Shaman!” so it is we are blessed with this task as carriers of life and this power is the one of the things which comes with it… but so does responsibility.

What came out of the divination from the Elders is that our Sacred Mother is sad, for we, givers of life, carriers of the Feminine medicine have forgotten to honor this sacred flow. This flow of life, of Blood, while being sacred is now polluting the earth through all the tampons, hygienic towels, lady paths and so on which are being used nowadays.

This is why I would like to invite you to do the following:

1. Use an organic alternative such as the Mooncup, Sea sponges, Organic paths, reusable paths, cotton… there are many alternatives!
2. During this period take time to be with yourself, honor it, and meditate on the fact you are a life giver, become aware of it! Feel the mother you are!
3. In order to once again honor this gift we carry as women and mothers it is important to offer this blood to the Earth. This was long ago a tradition and was for long lost. According to the Elders these offers will help to bring balance to the Earth once again.

How to do it? Each day of the Moon flow take a drop of the blood on a piece of cotton, then wrap it. Here they use Korn leafs to do it, but hey! Be creative, you can use a piece of cotton, paper, tissue, any other kind of leaf… (As long as it’s organic).

Once you have them, find a spot which seems appropriate to you to make the offer, the best would be to do it somewhere in nature, make a fix spot out of it to make the offers. If you are in the middle of the city you can do it in your garden or even in a plant pot! (And make a transfer from time to time to another place). The important thing is that it’s on the earth.

Then, it would be great if you know more women around who will do the same and go together to the Moon Offering Place and make the offers together, take flowers, gifts, you can make a small ritual if you like singing some nice melodies or sharing any other medicine. (It’s a great opportunity to make a small Moon Circle!!)

Well, in the essence the important of it all is to make a small prayer to the Mother Earth when giving the offer and being aware of the fact YOU ARE A LIFE GIVER, just like she is, we are all Mothers!!

And now, at last I want to share a beautiful prayer which was thought to me in order to honor the feminine we come from (so also for the guys!). You need to find out about your feminine ancestors, so you fill the name of the ancestor, starting with the eldest woman from your Mothers side whose name you know. It’s a bit tricky, so I made an example:

☼

I thank the Great Spirit (God, Allah…) for he created my Great Grandmother Maria

I thank my Great Grandmother Maria for from her blood was born my Grandmother Aurelia

I thank my Grandmother Aurelia for from her blood was born my Mother Luz Maria

I thank  my Mother Luz Maria for from her blood I was born.

(in case you have any children and are a woman)

I thank myself for from my blood was born Luna.

☼

That’s it! So you can find out about your Great Great Great Great Grandmother and start from there! And if you already have grandchildren, please include them in your prayer!

Just remember it’s always the woman on the Mother’s side.

And related to this, another beautiful thing to do is to thank you mother (grandmother, great grandmother) for from her/their (blood) you were born, maybe on your own birthday!?

I invite you to share this knowledge with ALL who have an open heart and want to listen!

From these amazing mountains I send you lots of love and light! I wish your projects may flower, your dreams may manifest in love and harmony for the good of all and many more blessings will come on your path!!!

♥ !!MAY YOU ALL BE VERY HAPPY!! ♥

In love and light,

* Sofia *

Trust your heart with no other expectation than the joy of living every second with shine.

Two parties

Nowadays is not common at all to find such a huge fire. To celebrate Easter, the inhabitants of Letter, Germany light an enormous fire. Since some weeks before everyone is invited to add wood to the pile; it grows and grows till incredible sizes. Around 7 pm. the local catholic priest and the local band perform a small ceremony. After a short speech the priest gives the signal and a group of men light the fire. All around families with kids, or groups of friends stand watching the magic. Gradually most people walk away attracted by the tent located some meters ahead: there is beer and music calling them. After 2 hours just few people stay around the fire while maybe 100 are chatting in the tent. This is perhaps the fifth or sixth time I come to this celebration. I love to be there, connecting with the fire, cleansing my soul, recharging it with fire energy. My party is around and with the fire; the other one feels so distant. Mine is a party with a rich content and quite simple in the outlook, but a party that refills my soul and bring light to my smile. For most people around the fire is just but an excuse for a nice party with beer and friends. They have lost the content part of the fire ceremony. How common it became in this society to stick to the rituals’ forms and forget their meaning, their purpose.

Welcome home

Like a soft wind breeze love crosses my path
Not anymore in the shape of a woman
Not anymore in the silhouette of a daughter, of a son
Like fresh air it goes inside
It becomes oxygen, invades my blood
Shines in my eyes, jumps into my song
Just like this, with no announcement
Love assaults me
And the only thing I dare to whisper is:
Why did I take so much time to invite you into my heart?

Love fountain

The exact location has never been revealed. Some believe it’s at the centre of the universe, other say it’s hid somewhere in the Amazon forest while there are some who say that the pyramids are the portal to access it in another dimension. If you have been there you probably know where it is. As you approach you perceive a party energy, everything is lively, full of colours, there are sounds and sings, aromas, trees, there is life in all its power. At the centre is there is a giant bubble, like an enormous diamond shining and alive. Even though it has permanently an egg shape, it’s evident that there is movement inside, intense movement.

From all the eight directions sinuous paths lead to this jewel of light. Through all of them beautiful couples walk in a dance. All colours and sizes, people from all corners and origins hand-to-hand walk towards the fountain of life. They have a very special glance, they irradiate an intense sense of inner peace and a brilliant light. There are no words but their walk is full of music and songs.

With joy they jump into the diamond and vanish. Inside they melt, they loose their shape and become one with the stream of energy. These dancers still have sense of being but at the same time they know they are no one, they are all and everything. Their energies play in a dance of life and joy; they float and move upwards. As they approach the peak they realise that this shining bubble is the back side of the eye of a baby ready to born, or the petals of a rose preparing to blossom in spring or a tear escaping from a sad face or a drop of water at the edge of a waterfall. Hundreds of couples feed these fountain; they dance and play and gradually move-up to be expelled through this volcano of life. They jump out as a newborn or a garden of roses or the Niagara Falls. They feel the world with their love and shine.

These couples are dancers making love in a sacred way, in a sublime act of creation and power. Their communion goes beyond bodies, souls and minds and merges in a perfect fusion with Love energy to return to Mother Earth in all forms and shapes. By doing so they bring nourishment to the fountain and they enhance their own energy. By doing so they bring light and love to all Beings and our sacred planet.

Lost astronaut?

The log on board was found many years later by another crew. Probably the long time elapsed and the weather conditions had contributed to erase some of the dates but presumably the events referred in the book happened just few years ago. Searching on the central database it was possible to track some references to an astronaut who left in an exploratory mission to a distant planet. The mission went as planned until he approached the mysterious planet. As he was approaching his messages became less clear and no report of his landing was received. The control centre assumed he had died in an accident when approaching its objective.
The information in the log was however contradictory. There is plenty of information describing his approach to what the astronaut called the “Magical Red Planet”. It seems that the beauty of the landscapes, the oceans and mountains astonished his eyes. He describes how, since his first step across those red lands his life was transformed.
The narration continues for some months but gradually it is evident that his mind was going through a deep transformation. The language he used became less and less technical and gave room to a poetic prose not usual in the space missions. There are several references to a portal connecting to distant galaxies and there are even some references to explorations he did “shoulder to shoulder with the Magical Red Planet”. These were strange references: how could he travel shoulder to shoulder with a planet! With no doubt his mind was going through a severe transformation, probable as consequence of the rare atmosphere or the thousands of flowers covering the planet (which, by the way, explained the mysterious red tone).
These rare descriptions started to incorporate recurrent references to “the matrix” as an invisible enemy controlling minds and bodies from most human beings.  He describes the means used by the matrix to create illusions and to keep humans far from ancient wisdom. His evident madness increased as the months passed, the matrix was more and more mentioned but at the same time his descriptions and reflections were full of love and magic; if he was mad, evidently he was really happy with his new life.
The last sentence in the log is a complete mystery. Despite the evidence showing that there was human activity for long time in that site, the last words were written just few months after his arrival. Using all the rainbow colours he stated: “today is the happiest day in my life, today I’ll leave the matrix, a jump ahead, shoulder to shoulder with the Magical Red Planet”. The spaceship was decorated with many art pieces and completely surrounded by flowers. There were no signs of battles or confrontations. Instead, the new expedition felt a very particular energy that started to whisper into their heads: “welcome to the magic of love, you are about to leave this dimension. When they sent the next report they noticed that the radio had some interference and was not working properly. Somehow this makes them happy.

Many ways

It is difficult to decide where to start this story. One way would just follow the chronological sequence, describing how one hill led to the next, how the hills became mountains that finally blew into a galaxy of light and energy. But it could be also told through the different turning points; for instance how his mind blew-out leaving him in a sea of peace, connected to the whole universe as only one being or how she went beyond that same place to become Mother Earth in such communion that Gaia started to whisper her wisdom through her passionate lips: “go and show to my sons, help them to remind that they were born for love, that they are love, tell them to take their shoes-off, to go bare naked and feel again my energy, remind them that sex is a communion to make love”. But I could also share it as a sequence of conversations or as one of silences. Conversations about life, about preferences and dreams, long chats exploring different dimensions of life and wisdom; but also silence was an eloquent companion. A simple hug or a dance of bodies and lips with no words, no need of them, their souls were dancing the same song. From a time perspective, with so many events you might think it was their whole life but no, these were just few hours. But if you are a traveller in journey to the light you will easily understand that in that brief instant they have jumped far ahead, beyond their own limits. Because time does not exist, it is the distance between God and us what matters; that is our journey.  Their communion made them ride in the wave of love, a wave that points to the heart of Great Spirit, to God: they were just surfing in the sea of love that God is, that we –sons of Gaia- are.

Sunset

I don’t have to be like the sun, crossing the sky to disappear and ride the horse of a starry night to be able to hug you at sunrise.
I don’t have to move, to spin around to bring the sunset of your eyes into my heart.
Your red planet is in my heart day and night, at dawn and dust
Your shining land brings sunsets and sunrises to my mind as glimpses to my eyes.
From a sun perspective, you, my red planet are always in the light.
