untethered parts of my life and faith, which I had been trying to pull into a bow, are, in their own way, coming together as one thread
namely, how do I place my christian past in my modern day mystical out-of-the-box spirituality
how do I merge intimate sexual sensitivity and the purity of chasted faith
why has this separation been created, and it exists still in many far-reaching places of spirituality, where sexuality is exploited as a power-source and the sacredness of it missunderstood?
some ramblings as I emerge freshly from a special revisit to temple practices of sacred touch and genuine body alchemy
That is a wordy long sentence! words are like gushing waters from a spring for me often… it is as if writing some kind of transmission that is coming through me, combined with my own quirky interpretations and imagination!
(and isn’t it interesting how i-magi-nation comes from ‘magi’ which is etymology connected with magic & making, the Magi being biblically referenced as the star-gazers and sacred peoples who foretold the birth of Jesus. So, we imagine: we are seeing something beyond the veil)
The plain and core essence of what I want to write here is this:
merging of Christ & Christed’ness within and among us
not in the institutional sense of what religion has made us feel
it is like the two springs of Glastonbury coming together,
the Yang, the Light, the purity of this radiance
and… the Yin, the dark, the depths…. the embodied nature of Her
both Goddess Isis, Ishtar, Astarte, the Magdalene, Ma…
Father of Heavens, Christed anointed, Jesus, Osiris, Demuzi…
an ecstatic coming together – a wild and wonderful, erotic and incandescently pure Nature!
True true Essence… felt, touched, known.
For years I had felt unsure how to bridge my Christ-ian, devoted, evangelical, fiery, prophetic, born-again past…
with my now deeply Feminine, Nature & Earth centred, Goddess orientated, bodily fascinated, penetrating the darkness of substance experience…
and it is happening!
like two threads, streams, coming together and forming something else…
Mystery.
side additional musing on magic / making~
when we are making something, it is actual magic in action.
and this is how our lives are, every single day.
we are a process of creation and creating.
it is literaly incredible and extremely special to be given this gift – which we all have.
so that is exactly where we find ourselves, if we choose to engage in the being created.
and when we become involved in this active process, we learn how to create too.
to practice everyday magic, beginning in our imagination.
which is where all of this experience originated for me, with consequential visceral experiences in my body, and various manifestations in the material.
i and we are being woven by Divine hands.
