Living Our Sacred Story
|
|
|
by Dr. Gwen MacGregor |
|
|
“A living myth is in many ways a fantasy that has become a way of life. To me, the most vital aspect of mythology is not found in the stories of gods and goddesses of long ago, nor in the psychological truths those stories reflect, but rather in the contemporary framework of images and meaning that are found in our own lifestyles.”
Living Myth - Personal Meaning As A Way of Life by D. Stephenson Bond
Leaving behind the power of Spring’s planting, we open our eyes to the richness of the scenery opening up before us. With bright flowers, trees and bulbs to come, life on earth shows us the many potentials within us. As we approach Midsummer and the Summer Solstice on Wednesday, June 21st, our thoughts are guided by bright blue skies, potent sunshine mixed with images of growth, soaring heat and splashing water. All the elements of life are present here in this time of creation. How interesting that our time of vacation is also an intense time of personal manifestation? And what are you growing in your garden this year?
I recently commented in an earlier column, how the Solar Eclipse in Aries on March 29th was bringing the influence of the righteous warrior as protector of the child to the forefront of our consciousness.’ This influence in the heavens will be with us as an astral urge for about 4 years. When we think of the righteous warrior, we think of the good ruler, the good knight or a leader for good. How interesting that the “melting pots” of God, the United States, Britain, France, India, Germany, etc., are also looking for a few good men/women to lead them into the future? The response in our country to our faith in the current leadership is not only felt by the lower mind and consciousness. It is a wave of change from The Hierarchy itself. Remember, “As above, also below.” This wave of change denotes a new urge from the Father God. An urge for the Mother and Child to grandstand, be protected and follow a more fertile, loving, healthy path for humanity. Why else would the age-old symbol of Magdalene be brought forward at this time? Her watchwords are received through the warrior queen of God and dispensed with wisdom and mercy. Watch and see what unfolds after the May 19 th premier of The Da Vinci Code !
The Da Vinci Code by any other name is an aka for The Christ Power. Throughout time, this power is seen as an excellence in individuals that is brought forward through humans who have the right combination of imagination, vitality and yes, strength of ego. Leonardo was such a man. He carried a part of The Christ Power during a very pivotal time in human history. His counterparts, Raphael and Michelangelo were also carriers of a distinct plan for the future of humanity. They helped shape the next five hundred years or so with their sense of beauty, the astral planes and the wisdom carriers of God, the angels. Once again, Raphael, Michael and Gabriel bring forth a new plan or age to be governed by Raphael. Uriel carries the illumination of God, that in other times produced burning bushes and atomic bombs. It is important that Raphael plays the lead because it is time to reinstate a new Plan for humanity. This Plan comes through the healing modalities that Raphael represents. The balance of the Divine Male and Female within, the love of the Holy Spirit - the Christ Power in each of us - and its revelation on Earth through travel on the road of accomplishment. Raphael represents a new vitality.
As we become aware of the drama unfolding around and within us, we cannot fail to ask what our role in this great Plan will be. All the parts of a great puzzle become necessary for It’s unfoldment. There is no lesser part, only non-evolving souls who get stuck in the habits and weakness of the past. We know from history that it will repeat itself over and over if we do not evolve, lighten up or try a new pathway. In the United States, we are seeing the return to many failed or weak pathways. The surge of illumination and vitality at this time, demands that all the Knights of God go on their way to securing their own kingdom. We must leave the safety of numbers and forge new paths of glory. In 25 years, our esoteric literature will be filled with the magical stories of the lives of the walking saints of today. Do we need to die in horrible ways to attain the new sainthood? I certainly don’t wish to walk that path again!
Our new and glorious stories and myths must demand portions of change in our mental and physical ways of doing things on earth. In other words, do I still carry a sword and use it on the bad guys? Why can it not be a sword of light, truth or a beacon of hope? Is this the time when we draw the line in the sand and head up that trail of peace? No, not every knight creates the same path so, not every player at The Round Table will represent peace and tolerance. We still need our generals, our fighting men and weapons. But, we should see a pulling away of great forces clashing in the next 400 years. Technology, film, music, beauty and freedom may form a new bond to help us fulfill our passions with more peace, realistic accomplishment and less corruption of spirit. Am I saying corruption cannot come through these conduits? Absolutely not. Our greatest gifts are our greatest weaknesses.
Creating new stories for yourself is as easy as letting go of old barriers and fear. We do not need to carry the full pain, horror and disruption from the past. If it isn’t a lesson you actively lived, take a look at it, see what you need to learn from it and move on. What do I mean by that last sentence? When you were young and your parents divorced, you decided it was your fault, they were stupid and you hated the change. What part of the decisions made by two other people should directly influence your spiritual growth and true happiness? Did they leave you? Probably not. Do they love you less? No, in the best of circumstances (and we understand these things are messier than I am describing, but, flow with this idea for just a few seconds). Did you really cause them not to get along? I don’t think so. So, what do I glean from this process and how do I move along without carrying more garbage than is mine? First of all, the relationship between A and B is not C’s to carry. Start giving away those experiences of pain and illogic that came to you second and third hand. They are not yours to carry. Imagine how many times you have actively believed these were your burdens? Let them go.
Now, promote this to a global level. For example, Germany always beats up on France so, we will keep reminding ourselves over and over what bullies the German people are. Next, we will hate the Japanese because they made war on us - were you even alive then? - and we know they beat up on Russia, Japan and The Phillipines. When is it still our fight? God asks us to live in the present for it is truly the gift of wisdom to do so. Your aggravation, hatred, misunderstanding all comes second and third-hand to you. You did not create these stories therefore, you are not allowed to live by them. The world needs tolerance, forgiveness and a new respect for all its peoples. How can you become a good knight for our time and still be tilting at windmills? The old stories represent fact and fiction. They are not for us to make judgment upon. And make no mistake, you are judging a time, a place a people, your parents, or, it would not be so debilitating. Only negativity debilitates our spiritual ability to grow. What happens when the U.N. declares a day of peace and Israel and Palestine have the guts to show up? Without old garbage wrapped around them like the filth it is.
Let us create myths devoted to our championing of the innocent, inner peace and, less mixing of past history with present manifestation of God’s Glory on earth. No one country or people represent the pathway to God. We all have a direction that requires maintenance, regular clean-up and more re-connecting to God...whatever your higher path means to you. This is a time for storytelling about the champions of Earth, be they men, women or children. We need stories that empower, excite and rejuvenate the mind and body. Horror hopefully, will no longer captivate the new Knights of The Round Table. As I respect me and create stories from my own experience and my own virtue, I will respect others around me, more. It really is that simple. If we did not already know this to be wisdom of the Creator, Round Tables throughout history could never have formed. Our DNA does not carry defeat. It carries glory and good deeds and great tales of wonder.
Blessings at Midsummer,
