Old Crone.. Heard good things.

Wow, You are a popular person from what I've read. I think it's great that what is being written is making so many people think. Even the ones that completely don't agree, somewhere in their heart, I think they are seeing some truth.

I was actually told to come to this website and ask you if you could tell me something about my spirit guides and spirit animals. I only want you to do it if it makes you happy. If not, I will find them in my own time I guess. I am really working on my spirituallity. Lots of books and meditation. Already I feel better about life and the day to days.

I think it's great that people can look to you for guidance. It makes me feel good that there are so many others out there looking within themselves as well.

Thank you for being you!! God Bless!

 

Hi Spiritually Growing

I apologies. Due to the lateness of the hour I need to stop, and wanted you to know I have not forgotten you. I will answer you but please bare with me for a little longer.

 

often clearer without the eyes.

Hi Spiritually Growing

Thank you for your patience. Some books I enjoyed for more than the words written are;

1. Turning Toward the Mystery by Stephen Levine

2.Strange Attractions by Rebecca Goldstein

3. The Marriage of the Sun and Moon by Andrew Weil

4. Toltec Teachings by Theun Mares (Cry of the Eagle is one)

5. Apprentice to Power by Timothy Roderick

6. Alchemy by Jay Ramsay

There are many more. Just started reading The Budda Within.

Books about spiritual growth are often awakening an awareness as much with what is written as what is not. The seeker in us all must read both sides.

Animal guides for you at the moment seem to be the Snail and the Woodpecker

The Snail because you often leave a trail of your awakening and searching as you go. The hope within you is as much about not holding on to as the hope within becomes your own embrace.

The Snail ask you to go slow with persistence because this is your journey, no one else’s and in this each one is solitary as much as they are connected. Old Wolf has a personal forum titled Waysharing and has a post titled Being True to Self. This is a reflection of the journey we all take in learning what it means to love from a place of wholeness and not just needs. This is also a reflection of the embrace with the spiritual sides of our searching. Each writes from the heart what their truth is. Each must come from a place of inner recognition of the I Am and what it means to be our own creations. We are our choices. I think you will like this post even though its long.

The Snail also ask that you see things not from a place of judgments and rights and wrongs but from a place sacredness to the greater whole within the higher Being. As you take in, you become your own transformation. Without truth there is shallow realities that offer a place of pretending we are climbing the tree when in fact all we are doing is sawing off the branches so we can see beyond ourselves. This is one of those lines that holds truth unwritten. Let me explain. “””Without truth there is””” no connection that will stand the test of times in all forms. There is only excuses that blind the nakedness of vulnerability. “””Pretending we are climbing the tree when in fact we are only sawing off the branches so we can see””” is about letting go of all distractions, excuses, and doubts knowing we are the view from which we look from within this moment of understanding. Until we can embrace the climb with out fears, and face the whole of who we are the greater visions are lost. We are as we see, and as we believe so shall our truth reflect just where we went on a path that became the journey of this life time.

The Wood Pecker is asking you to search out what it means to fly. To be one with your nature. To knock until the window of opportunity opens wide enough for you to feed the Spirit within the soul. The Wood Pecker ask you to trust you and move beyond where that trust takes you. Never ending ripples of growth and learning which tree of life is good for the pecking awareness that makes you more within the one landing. The Wood Pecker embraces contradictions. He searches out vulnerability and strength. He keeps a balance of natures without needing to surrender to the hardness that so often becomes walls of our own making.

Spirit guides at the moment are

Russell - a swimmer who takes on the marathon not to prove he can win but to understand the drive intakes to not get lost or drown within the battles that surround you. He will show you courage and what it means to walk on waters of your own faith an inner awakenings to the elements of living in and beyond your comfort.

Matthew is a monk who walks miles to minister to the surrounding villages by offer to do the labors needed for no more than a chance to talk and share from the heart. He seeks his own salvation through the lives and hearts of all who take him in. In this He recognizes we are all one. Just parts expressing different paths and experiences to take back home. We all are travelers in a vine yard ready for harvest. No more or less than those who walk beside us for a time. Matthew will show you what the journey and walk can offer you moment by moment and season to season.

Dawn will show you the elements of natures and truths that are as simple as they are complex. She is a pagan witch who seeks not one faith but the brewing pot of reflections and what loving from a place of inner power really means. Its not the power but what we do with the power that gives us the wisdom we seek. The doing becomes the act of awareness that often takes the elements to shine what perfections we do not always see within us. Dawn will take you places inside yourself that are still and quiet and ask you to honor the chaos within the balances you look for.

We just touched the tip of the iceberg here so your thoughts will honor me as well. What do you see?
