Black

butterfly-darkness-atomic

Delicate, silky wings of unfathomable strength; transcendental pool of power, true depth of vibrance in the heart of all hearts, entwine

Causes brilliant thunder of justice to trace all returning deeds not to be undone, but to be played over again until the heart triumphs

And human love can be transformed forever by an exquisite release of shadows, and all malaise and tribulation burns in the presence of the divine.

A single candle to focus, a meeting of unity in the temple of the living, immaterial forces of the soul; nothing more wonderful and beautiful to behold

Silent soul of the Unknown black, mysterious Light only to those that do not know the spiritual warrior extolled.

I lay myself down

kow-yai-night-sky-refined

i lay myself down in the gentle Sun reflection off the moon

and while i contemplate, ponder and appraise the beauty of the night,

the moon imbues me with its soft, loving Light,

the stars invite me into their beautiful, infinite, tranquil  weave,

but the Earth pulls me closer, telling me  home is not to leave.

the remarkable unity connection causes a response in heart and mind,

a call for another unity that had been long lost, forgotten, left behind

this is the way out of the inverted condition with head over heart … with intuition 

leading the creation of reality, the turn, the upright amalgam of Heart-Unity-Mind:

simultaneous synchronicity, clarity allowing Love-Mind-Soul combined.

“In our Heart is the sacred chamber into which we can go and find there the strength and peace we need. The Heart is the Altar of the Most High. Only the Eternal can enter. We are the priests who officiate at the Altar of the Eternal, in the Altar of our own Heart.”

Light upon the path – Morning Glory

morning glory blue a 2016

Blue Beauty, star in the morning rising

Trumpeting Life’s fascinating formation song,

Imitating a despairing premature death by evening

Agreeably Light upon the path again after dawn.

As I was walking along the lake this little Lightbearer caught my eye. It shines so True and beautiful and I’m so happy that I was able to catch a shot of its nature and character. And, you may even spot an ant peeping out, having spread some pollen already! There are shadows of ants climbing along the back of the blossom too.

What’s amazing to me is the light from its center of attraction.  I’m attracted and hope you are too!

“The more we listen to our Higher Self, the more we are creators. Composers of music listen to their Higher Selves. Everything beautiful coming from humans comes from their Higher Selves. We should be guided by our Higher Self and produce more and more beautiful things.”

Mindful as the Open Sky

image

Looking towards the distant line of the horizon,
Becoming silent,
Found some peace there
by watching clouds

Above the heads of man,
Changing shapes at will,
Floating in their free
And impermanent way.

Like the sky
that is above us,
it is also right around us
and in us.
We are one
with the open sky,
just as we are one
with our soul.

 

Being mindful and looking up into the sky can help us look up within ourselves to find inspiration from within, from our Higher Self, our Superconsciousness. And inspiration can always be found when we are silent, grateful, ask and listen. We merge consciously with our authentic selves.

The photo is interesting in that when I use my imagination there seems to be a Being with mouth open, speaking, giving me guidance!  Nature is the Eternal manifested.

“Universal Brotherhood of all things is a Fundamental Fact of Eternal Existence. Only Perfect harmony prevails behind the myriad faulty manifestations which sprouts forth into human perceptions, because the Great Law governing the entire Universe is Harmony Itself.”

Lacey Summer Beauty!

Retained Love

Snowy white summer lace

 Speaks of the reflections of memories past;

Sweet embraces and a tender trace 

of exquisite boundless Love, unsurpassed.

This week I took a walk along the lake in the mountains and came across some beautiful wildflowers. Queen Anne’s Lace was growing along the edge with some hanging over the water. And, next to some catstail were some green ones, not having turned white as yet. Beautiful!

I hope you enjoy them as much I as do and feel the wonderful waves of summer for those of you in the northern hemisphere!

The Feminine Curve

Vortex3

Entering the feminine curve
Every nerve drawing me deeper toward
The heart of the vortex serve,
Knowing Source of earthly accord. 

Progressive energies
Cause molecules of emotions rising atop
Encouraging me, 
Though fear begging me to stop.

Memory of my mother
Taming my heart
Telling me I have to detach;
Lightning clap asunder, apart.

Her detachment declaration
Swills of light ascertain;
Done for both hearts’ liberation
Nonetheless acute piercing pain.

Thoughts of inadequacy
Sweat beginning to bead
Even as tears of gratitude,
Long trailing drops intercede.

Energies whirl, ripping from existence
Illusions self-composed,
Darkness, death, time,
Detrimental memories decompose.

Stripped and lifted to greater heights
Becoming fearless, assured by Feminine Love
Inner Masculine Power lights
Immortal boundless Spirit thereof.

Timeless Unconditional Love.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB


Sedona 2

There are several energy vortexes the Sedon, Arizona area. And, some say the entire area is an energy vortex. Of course, there are skeptics even though there is evidence that compass needles lose true north at vortex sites!

There is no denying the beauty of the place, the feminine earthly energy and the masculine strength. You can learn much about yourself and your connection to the earth and universe.

The red and white mountains look different during the day as the sun moves across the sky and the shadows play! No matter if it’s the beauty or the energy, Sedona is inspiring and invigorating!

“It is very interesting to analyze the effects of gratitude. That inner love in it makes it possible for us to expand. There are very few emotions as strong, deep and beautiful as gratitude. The more grateful we will be, the more receptive we will be, and the more good things will come into our lives.”

Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings in Science of Being, Volume II, page 177.

 

Make Love

Pink rose make love

“The greatest security is in Love , not in Mind. Love may be colored differently but can never be anything but Love. Happiness is the result of having found a little love. When people have found a little love, they feel a little security. It helps them and carries them through difficulties.”

Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings In science of Being, Volume 1, page 79.

Morning Greeting

arid forest path 3

As I awaken in the moment, the day coming fast,

Fragrant notes of the cypress, juniper, piñon pine

Greet me as I enter the arid forest path

Singing such a sweet melody of earthly design

In such abundant giving

Can only come living

With no regret and humble thankfulness express,

My heart purified and to infinite Spirit I do acquiesce.

∞∞∞∞

These paths in the arid forest of Sedona led to native dwellings thousands of years ago, built along the rock formation in the first photo. The landscape and energy in the area is so invigorating that it is easy to get a sense why anyone wants to live in the area. And, you can get a real appreciation for the people of the past living there, their courage and fortitude.

The earthy juniper and pine fragrance is so amazing in the early morning. With a few deep breathes it grounds you to the earth, to your body, and inspires you to look up within! While I was there getting up early was the best part of the day because I would go outside and just breathe, then look at the beautiful mountains.  

The best part at night is the opportunity to see the Milky Way since it is so dark and the city lights are kept low.

Looking into the Milky Way you can get a real sense of the vastness of the universe.  And, in turn it makes me wonder about what infinity truly means in my life and for all of us. 

I think about my own life, the hardships, the joys, the ups, the downs. Wasted time and hopes for days to come, with the help of the Great Law. And, how I have gained some insight into my own spiritual journey.

And, in that mindful moment I know that no moment has been wasted, especially viewing it with some perspective. There are infinite opportunities to come and with the Power of the Infinite behind me, supporting me and all of us, so much, much more joy, peace and purpose.

It’s humbling! And, gratitude fills me.

The saying, The pure in heart shall see Good is true. Only when we are pure or sincere can we behold Harmony, and when we behold It, the Light of Harmony flows into us.”

The Source of Beauty

 

Lilies are a source of enjoyment for me because of their stunning beauty. A big bonus is that they are perennials and don’t require much care, so I have several plants in my garden! Their beauty brings to the surface of my consciousness – Harmony. I hope they do for you too.

 Beautiful Lily

The source of beauty and all creation 

Harmony of Silent boundless fields

Lilies grow to lift their faces

Thankful for the sunlit spirit yields.

The source of beauty and all creation is Harmony. And, since we are part of creation we originated from Harmony.

We are like the twin that has forgotten our Beauty, Love and Harmony. Yet, we get a glimpse of ourselves in nature, through nature.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
