Spirituality on the home front.

While signing into zaadz is always a spiritual “check in “-
it is harder in real time on the home front!
Here,we have many pods with deep and profound posts
and we are blessed to share and be part of these insights.
But -“out here” -where we all have to live and gravitate around,
it can at first be a major battle to be real and then a bigger one
to help others with their transition.-especially as most transitions
are most reluctant initially!

Do other members find it hard too -or are you already blessed
enought to be in a spiritually enlighted environment?

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Left my job, left my house, left my credit cards, took my family with me and dropped out for nearly 12 months.

Came back into the real world, with no compromise.

Now use previously attained legal skills to assist people in our wonderful Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal…great environment for many reasons. Don't watch TV unless I know what is on. Spend most my spare time on the internet with likeminded people. Don't try to convert anyone; they nearly have to ask me a question before I'll offer an opinion. Wu wei everyday; always taking the easiest path.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Awesome experience -no wonder you were able
to come back so centered.
Although we can't all get away -it is important to
“take in the silence” sometimes.

For an ex-Country girl -the City can be hard to get away from,
sometimes.
I have my little place where I can find solace though and be
at one with Nature.

But for me -I am not blessed with a like-minded family
or many of my friends.
How can I not “fight” to bring them back to themselves?
How can I not try to say the words than one day may remind
them of the truth of our lives?

My ex-husband has tried with all his might to stop me-
in fear of losing me.
As one of his friends said -he has been the
“Devil's Advocate” -I am still not sure of the source
of his betrayal to all that is good and right -but
whoever it was -they have a lot of power over him.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I haven't posted on this thread for some time -
so am wondering just how much others have come
along in their development?
I have been fighting the usual battles on my home front -
BUT - have made a few little positive steps!
While there are still many around me that struggle with the
spiritual concept -they really are at last seeing it in me.
So if they are being more accepting of me -then at least they
have come along quite a few steps themsleves -
and it's a great relief not to be thought crazy for my beliefs !!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Today it all actually balanced !
Not just here with like-minded people - but
out in my world -my neighbourhood -
in my day - in my life -.
Balance  must equal justice and the squales felt even at last.
It was a beautiful feeling and at long last I thought -I like being me!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Sandy, that sounds great! You're right, and we've to keep trying to balance all areas of our life. When it comes together as it did for you, it can help us in other times as well when things threaten to unbalance!!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Yes - it was wonderful!
But it was so much more than just balance -
it was real and a great breakthrough for me to be
able to be myself at last openly and obviously spiritual.
Oh -and having a big day on the activist front was the greatest
achievement because for once my neighbourhood let me do it!
And that is a very long story!
To be honest , I am recognised now as an activist as apposed to an environmentalist
in my local area , at the least.
It's a big step up and rather strange to get used to , being a
naturally shy person!

Visit this link in view to a spiritual action during
Earth Hour -
see post for more information.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Earth Hour is drawing near and we have yet to decide
what form of spiritual unity action we can all take at that
time -a chance to connect on another level.
Already there are people meeting in person from Gaia-
can we meet in spirit -in the dream world even?

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Sandy, lovely idea. I 've written to you on the lounge, with an invitation.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Glad you like my idea Meenakshi -
and I will visit the lounge for my invitation-
though I would have liked to have “worked”
the idea from my own pod!!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Our spirits are rising up for the people of
Tibet on the home front.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

My patch is “fine tuning” in -at last !

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

ohmsmom   
i saw your beaded symbol peace sign in
my dream last
it cam to me so clearly i even woke with
delighted suprise

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

so -things are coming on pretty well,although there
was a huge “hiccup” last week!
And -there are still a few of evil spirit -but
hopefully they will lose their darkness and find the
light.
sooner rather than later ,as i they are getting very tedious
and you wonder if they even deserve a chance,anymore!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Actually -the problem is the spirits of the bottled kind!!
Gee whiz and buck fizz it sure drains the soul of a person
and is very draining on a pure soul!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Today we are sad as we grieve the loss of a dear friend of ours.
As he was journalist , i will post some of his writings here at
a later date and his words will live on forever.
Bye Edward John Light 
LightyJohn , may your light shine on.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Last night I was inspired to carry on our late friend (see previous post)'s
campaign for honest media -he was very worried about the deteriorating
standard of Australian Journalism and the standard of reporting.
He was incensed about it and after the poor media reporting on
our 25 thousand strong Labor Day rally yesterday.
So -his spirit lives on in Mitchelton!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Oh dear ,things here seem to rise and fall -like the tide.
One minute you have reached your'e peak and can feel other's
lifting their own spirits -then crash , bang and down they go again!
I can only keep them there when I am constantly with them -other
wise they seem to drop down the black hole again.
Attaining the perfect harmony was but fleeting -but oh the
“taste” of it -the joy to feel it the delight to be able to show oneself
was such an experience that I shall forever hope to achieve it again!
I have held myslef true ,and am what I am -why is that so hard for
other's to understand.
Their light can shine like mine and I never tyr to dim theirs-
but boy -there are some dimwits around!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

My spirituality appears to be on the self front …

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Mine sometimes seems to “affront” Silent Temple -
no doubt we will get there -just each in our own way.
It is the joining of all the spirit types that is the hardest -
you can touch someones spririt -and then they can lose
touch with themsleve again.
Guess they just have to keep climbing the ladder -over and
over again -until there they can stay!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

“Mine sometimes seems to “affront” Silent Temple”

What do you mean?

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

spirituality -to some -is strange -to show it even stranger ,
depending on the people that surround you.
It even frightens some -because although they read of it and
talk about it -they often cannot recognise it when seeing it first hand.
I guess they are the sort of people that “burnt witches” in the old
days-for want of a better similie!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Many other pods have discussion's about how hard it is to be
spiritual -or enlightened ,which ever word you prefer,
on the home front,amongst their peers.
I find that too -many times other's around me,have been on the same
wave length -only to become fearful of the goodness of it,and afraid
to be open about it.
Many,many times I have helped them lift their spirits again,and only
had the support of other's here at Gaia.
But to my knowledge,there are not as many spiritual/pychic pods here
anymore and cannot help but wonder if they left here when we changed
from zaadz?
That was one of our main interests and interests here have changed quite
a lot?
Many of my previous friends were in fact practising their trade and I was
told with my abilites,I too could make money from advising other's.
I have never chosen to do that,but now I question if that IS the only way
to be recognised as such-in every day life.
While many people I know have now realised and accepted there are
people that have gifted abilities -they are still unwilling to accept mine.
I wonder if anyone has any suggestions about how to overcome this?

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Although the fall was far -the “star” shining over us did not fall from
the sky!
Did it peak and glow it's brightest, and the wrong time -or was it the
“wrong star” I am perhaps wondering.

However -I have the spiritual warmth of the Indigenous amongst our
community -and that I truly can share -and give thanks for.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I have been reading many posts, all over Gaia, on
Spirituality and they have helped lift my heart again!

I am at my most happiest, when I can let my “light shine”,
for all to see, but for many months now, I have not been
able to shine on the outside.
I know the glow is deep inside me, within, and am still aware
of mineself, yet saddened that I cannot share that.

I am also aware, due to physical injury, how that can
“shadow” one, as much as emotional pain.
Therefore I understand how many people there must be
who are shadowed from their light and how their dimness
does affect those around them.

May the Spirits shine bright, at home and afar and may we,
one day all bask in the glow of awareness.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

blessings and the joy of wonder to you, Sandy.
Thanks for your work and our spirit,
CG

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Thankyou CG -though I wonder about me sometimes
too -LOL !

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Hi Sandy

A little poem for you:-

Hope you like faeries……

Faery kisses filled with love
Faery kisses from above

Faery laughter fills the air
Faery laughter lifts despair

We are here to fill the earth
With laughter joy and merry mirth


With love from your faery friends and me!
Taikunping

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Thanks Tai -
a beautiful poem.

I cannot say that I am much of a one for faeries,
but I appreciate their beauty and gossamar wings!

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

How many of you here are feeling, sensing, noticing how
we are becomming more spritiually attuned with each other?

As in life outside cyber-space, there are times of ebb and times of flow-
and now perhaps at long last, we are uniting on both levels!

We are definetly becomming more spiritually attuned with each other-
so do take note and be aware, as recognition is an important part
of the process!

S

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

I've been noticing a lot recently, in every day life and here on gaia, distance isn't a problem, we are all connected and becoming more and more unified

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

I am glad you are aware too, Tai :)
We ARE all connected and we ARE becomming more unified.
Once more of us are aware, the changes will begin to happen faster,
and people will not be afraid to stand together and demand change
for the better.
We were too money orientated and now we are free to be as we should be.

Fate and circumstance are aiding us and giving us the abilty to see.

peace and love ~

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

I'll second that :-

my haiku for the day

Goddess light
shining in sky's dome
brightens all

it's May Eve tonight, Beltane, just done a blog on it - celebrating the height of springtime here,  unity between the masculine and feminine.  We have a meditation meeting tonight, hopefully it will have cleared up by then - the rain has become heavier.  As I said earlier it does get me motivated to tackle the ironing when it's wet outside, which is all good…

I noticed this May flower at the edge of our lawn a few days ago…

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

I've been noticing a lot recently, in every day life and here on gaia, distance
isn't a problem, we are all connected and becoming more and more unified.

That reminds me of the video below.

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

Beautiful Siona -thankyou for the Song Around the World.

As we say in Australia “-we are one, but we are many” ~
and now we are ALL uniting as one.
The distance does not matter as we can connect where ever we are.

It is the way, our destiny and this time we must fufil it  !!

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

Great words Sandy - love it

“It is the way, our destiny and this time we must fulfil it !!”

Yey - this is all good (:0)

Re: Spirituality on Gaia

Thanks Tai -and yes, it IS all good -as long as we keep the ball of
recognition rolling!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I am responding to the opening post which threads through all the others. I took my spirituality to work this time and am transforming myself and those around me with that spirit. I watch over college kids and help them party safely. My bosses have seen, on their bottom line, how doing this job compassionately, decisively and openly has made a space for the residents to make chioces. They are choosing to party more respectfully, less intensely and are thankful for the options. They ask me about my meditation, about my smile, about why I did not call the cops.
I chose to bring myself to work, not just mail it in. I chose to take risks that were not risks-they were rewards. I hope you all can do that also in your workplaces now or in the future.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

It's so good to have folk that care in the community, thanks for sharing this iljung…
We're getting young people involved with the drum group slowly, by doing Community events - think drumming is good for building close relationships and it's great fun too…

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Wonderful to hear you are looking over these college kids and keeping
them safe,iljung and I hope we can all be like you.
In know Tai is -and so is our friend Jenny -I wish I could contribute more
myself, but do all I can to help others stay in touch with their spirituality
and stay true to themselves~

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

since spirituality is the subject, i thought i would share something that was
profound to me, this video.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

since we come together for a common purpose, i thought i would share this as well.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Thank you torchholder for the beautiful videos -

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Beautiful videos torchholder -and beautiful verse, Tai.

I would also like to share- this video was sent ot me by a lady in
Copenhagen…

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

thank your friend in copenhagen Sandy!

When our group was drumming last night we did a sort of freestyle jam session - we all did different beats but the whole thing came together into one harmony - this is experienced as a bliss moment, our drums are like mother earth's and our own heartbeats….these sort of times enhance our connection to our inner own rhythm and help us to blend that rhythm with others…there are so many ways to connect with one another, to lift our consciousness and experience “the moment” when we come together in unity and oneness.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I will -it was so nice of her to share :)

I envy you your drumming Tai. What a wonderful way to share -
I believe drumming is the most wonderful way to connect and
you are very lucky to be with such a group.
Blending your rhythms and touching your souls in harmony with the earth.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Yes Sandy, it is a beautiful way to share our energies with the earth and connect to our inner rhythm
You are such a beautiful soul, it is always a joy sharing with you…
Love Tai

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

As it is with you dear Tai-
it is lovely to think of YOUR beautiful presence on the other side of the world and
yet spiritually linked and connected~

Much love,
Sandy

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

It's good to connect with so many like-minded souls here on Gaia - would be good if we could have Gaia meet ups here in England.  Maybe one day we can! - would be great to meet people who I have shared so much with over the last 12 months.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I so agree with you -we meet with our minds here and make spiritual
connections -but would be lovely to meet face to face.
As I have been blessed to meet Jenny -I can honestly say it is a wonderfu;
experience and it has made us totally real to each other :-)
I hope you can organise one there one day Tai -and of course it would
be awesome if you are ever down under -to meet up here too!

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Maybe I could move down to Cornwall or North Wales and do Bed and Breakfast !   Would be great to meet up with friends from all over the world - I feel I have got to know some of the folk here really well, but we never know someone entirely until we have met them.
Love Tai

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Ah ha -a Bed and Breakfast sounds great -and you sure would get to meet
people from all over the world!
It is true though Tai -you never really get to know someone entirely until
you meet them -although I think we get to meet more of the inner person
and spirit here -on a deeper level.
Love,Sandy

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

I'm booking in to your B & B Tai. When does it open?
Heres some Miles Davis. Was just reading through this thread and M.D. came on and it just sounded right somehow so am sharing with you. He's a brilliant musician. Sorry it didnt have good imagery to go with it. You'll just have to dream it.

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Thanks for the music Jen - it's cool - enjoyed it
The B & B is something to consider, it's been a thought on and off for years!
Maybe it's manifesting slowly…
I'd agree Sandy, I feel so close on those levels too, would be good to have real hugs!
Love Tai

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Hey Tai, I'm giving you and Sandy a group hug. Can you feel it?

Re: Spirituality on the home front.

Everythings seems to be glowing brighter, thanks Jen!
hugs back to you and Sandy and anyone else who would like to join in today :)
