Live Your Christed Self Hazel - Coll and Grapevine-Muin Moon Mother Vibrations and More... New Moon - Aug 25 2014 7:12:44 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time Full Moon - Frequency Change Sept 8 2014 6:38:09 pm PDT Return, Faith and Wisdom Abundance, Completion and Gratitude Every year we make a lunar/solar adjustment with our Moon Cycles. Often it is seen during the Elder/Birch time. However, guided by the Divine Feminine, many years ago, She asked that I note, during the lunar year, where a Tree of Life change occurs quite naturally to accommodate the lunar adjustment time so our solar calendars and lunar wave fields can be honored. This year it is this new lunar cycle that begins on August 25th and shifts at Full Moon on September 8th (from Hazel to Grapevine). This means that during the first 15 degrees of the Sun crossing the pathway of Virgo, it will be reflecting light to the Moon and the vibrational responses will be that of Hazel. The day before the full moon, the 2nd 15 degrees of Virgo will begin as the Sun travels through the next phase of consciousness. During this phase the Sun will be reflecting light to the Moon and will stir the power and wisdom of Grapevine. We will feel those adjustments and we will experience a slight difference in our activities based on these subtle shifts. 1
Why is it that the lunar attention is even given? A sacred truth is noted in this answer. For more than 7,000 years humanity lived in the masculine paradigm that gave the power of Source to a masculine frequency (God) that revealed the Light of the Single Reality of Source. During this time a shift from Lunar expressions to Solar Expressions began. As wonderful as that is, our religions all but annihilated the feminine quality of Source (Goddess) in their tenants and dogma. Truly, most religions relegated the Divine Feminine to a 2 nd position such as the Virgin Mary or Mother Mary, Mother of Jesus and indicated they were second to the masculine God. In Hebrew traditions the glory of the feminine is honored and called Shekinah (Divine Feminine). In the dark ages (the years of only speaking of the Divine as a Masculine essence using the pronoun of he, ) humanity lost the awareness of the truth that God is Both Masculine and Feminine, and yet, neither (a paradox). We were lost in th darkness of separation and waiting for hundreds of years to be called back into Feminine Awareness. Thus, women s movements (1970's) began to ask for more while at the same time, the Divine (God and Goddess) was urging our inner consciousness to gain balance, come back to the Divine Feminine and realize She and He are One. Then a dramatic shift occurred in 1994, calling everyone into the true Feminine Awareness and the more intense call to Oneness was initiated. Knowing the Masculine and the Feminine. Knowing the Sun and the Moon qualities of life became important. Knowing the Inner and the Outer realities of Oneness became a path of awareness to follow. Since separation occurred and the Divine Masculine was ingrained in the subconscious and consciousness of our awareness, the Feminine Paradigm brought forth a new guidance of ancient knowledge. Oneness occurs when the Feminine and Masculine are united. As we of the human society grows in this Weaving of Oneness, each person must follow the path to Oneness by honoring the Divine Feminine until a true Union occurs. A balance of the sacred feminine power within all needs to be brought to the abiding, automatic consciousness (subconscious) through the conscious levels of our being. For only then can the Masculine and Feminine come into the holographic oneness. How to do that? Of course, there are many ways to enlightenment and awareness of the Divine Feminine. Following the flow of the Lunar waves is a powerful way to uncover this Glory Within Us. SPICA - Way of Light provides the tenants to follow in order to aid in the discovery of the Glory Within through the Pathway of the Feminine. This pathway is the area of the Divine Feminine through lunar vibrations that leads to the understanding of the mysteries of the universal Oneness. The lunar awareness guides us to the feminine qualities of: Our inner self - Subconscious Healing capacities of our Inner Being Emotional Balance Compassion through Unconditional Love Intuitive qualities known and used Soul voice heard Release of Talents Ability to share with another through egalitarian means Healing others by recognizing their wholeness Ultimately leads us to our Higher Self - Source Self 2
When I was called by the Divine Feminine to learn of Her essence, I began with the lunar vibration of the Grapevine-Muin Moon cycle. I completed the lunar year with the vibration of the lunar cycle of Hazel-Coll. A tremendous inner journey began when I entered the waves of Grapevine. Deeper transformation/transmutation occurred as I immersed myself into each lunar month. Seeking Source was brought to new levels that I realized was not only for me, but for Humanity. The explosion of wisdom went far and beyond the teaching I had been privy to for more than the previous 30 years of mystical studies. Still, today, the magick of the wisdom surfaces and reflects in dynamics that at times I cannot explain. Often I laugh as I realize Her Magick was released during this lunar training and it is the colloquialism that is now used by almost all Seekers of wisdom today. Though still New Language and Ancient Wisdom, it is flourishing in the New Paradigm of Living. Today it is all becoming common-place language that helps everyone move more toward the power of compassion, sacred attitudes, gratitude towards the Divine and others in one s life, and opening the doors of unconditional love at new levels. Yes, still the call is outstanding: Follow the Feminine Paradigm for the balance to occur that Truly creates human beings living in Oneness rather than the hope of oneness. Still we see the remnants of disrespect, fear, and doubt. But they are remnants. May they not continue to be woven in the texture of the New World so we may truly see the holographic reality that we are: Masculine, Feminine, yet, Neither in Oneness. May the textures of the Divine Feminine be woven in through the Masculine wisdom so that the True Marriage of God/Goddess occurs in the hearts and minds of humanity. I believe that when that union occurs we absolutely will live in peace, love and harmony. We indeed will Harm None, Hold All Life Sacred and live in the ebb and flow of life through the grace of wisdom and balance. As we merge into the Lunar Cycles of Hazel and Grapevine together, this union calls us to live in this Oneness Awareness in new ways and with great honor of what our life journey into Oneness is all about. The key words: Return, Faith and Wisdom * Abundance, Completion and Gratitude are like keys to open the door to a greater knowledge. They teach us of frequencies, being released by the Moon vibrations, that are revealing the Divine Feminine and the Union with the Masculine for a true Marriage of Oneness to occur. New Moon to Full Moon - Hazel - Return, Faith and Wisdom These key words are quite important for our Oneness reality. Return requires us to return to many states of awareness so we may uncover our Union with Source. If we are a beginner on the pathway of Self Awareness, we return to the memories of our childhood to decipher how we think, feel and react in life. As we uncover the mysteries of our own fears, lack of self esteem, and judgement of our talents we come to a point of reasoning that teaches us that we are capable of directing the unconscious. We learn, through psycho-spiritual counseling, and other forms of assistance, that we can change our minds by living the truth of the moment, fulfilling the desires of living healthy and happy lives, and that we can create a reality different than the shadow of lack, abandonment, betrayal, and unworthiness. 3
We begin the path of Self Actualization once we are aware of the shadowy currents of our subconscious. Our return then is no longer the degenerative process of finding the limitations of our subconscious memories. We no longer have to find fault in our childhood and adulthood relationships with parents, siblings, teachers, churches, bosses, friends and lovers. We become the seekers desiring to Return to our wholeness. We review the journey of life with the wisdom to realize what each positive experience and challenging experience has taught us. We use the teaching to reach the positive expression of our inner being. As we live more in the harmony of our inner being, we seek another level of the expression, Return. We begin to initiate Enlightenment and our wisdom teaching, our wisdom living calls us to return to our Higher Self, Christed Self, Source Self. We learn the power of wholeness and the blessing of Faith. We are no longer living in the ranges of doubt or curiosity of a Power of Higher Self within us. We are know longer simply trusting. We know. Our knowing is the Power of Faith. That power provides us the strength and wisdom to continue our Earthly journey without fear, lack and limitations. Our Faith abides in Knowing everything has a purpose, as Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 reports: To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the sun; A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to morn and a time to dance. (HOLY BIBLE FROM THE ANCIENT EASTERN TEXT, Lamsa, 1961 reprint, Harper & Row Publishers.) Within this knowing, we are the Living Power of the Highest Degree Source. The higher wisdom is a powerful learning from the lunar cycles of Hazel. Returning each year, we find that the teaching of Faith as Knowing is no longer a thought, or no longer an inspiration. It is Wholeness of Being Faith and living it through every season of our day, month or year. We know we will survive physical, emotional or mental disturbances. We know we are human s reflecting the Light of Source in our daily living. We know that being human is a sacred expression of All Life. We know that we are creative and abundant. We know that we can create the fulfillment of our talents, the expression of our wellness, the love that we know from our inner being. We know our self and we live our SELF. In so doing, we merge well with others and release fears and concerns that would tell us other-wise when we are dancing the dance of discord. We use discord to learn and sacred wisdom to return to the wholeness of our self. For in so doing, we are the act of faith, the power of wisdom and the return to our harmony. Full Moon - to - Balsamic Moon: Grapevine - Abundance, Completion and Gratitude: The gracious wisdom of Hazel flows into the essence of Grapevine. Of course, when we have learned the power of return, the awareness of faith and the wisdom of our life journey, we allow abundance to flow. 4
Grapevine reveals the power of Reaping what we have Sown. As Proverbs 17:22 states, A merry heart makes the body healthy; but a broken spirit dries up the bones. (Ibid). This lunar cycle has us look into the abundance that we are experiencing by realizing what is manifested in our life. For our abundant reveal is the completion we see in everything we say, do and actualize. If we have taken the higher wisdom of Hazel, we will see the power of harmonious, loving and nurturing realities. We live in prosperity. We are healthy, we are in loving and nurturing relationships, we are giving to our society, we are alive in Spirit and allowing the Divine Presence to be our self. We realize our thoughts, emotions and actions have been congruently aligned with our Highest Nature (Source-Self). Our hearts are merry and our bones are filled with the bone marrow of life-giving substances producing our red blood cells. Of course, the opposite of the prosperity of light, joy and positive outcomes is part of our reaping as well. We may keep a focus on the apprentice attitudes and falter in our wisdom. We may continue to live as victims and continue to have victim realities surface. Our relationships continue to manifest lack, anger, and harmful disturbances. Our health falters. Our creative ideas are held as some day I may be lucky enough to fulfill them. Our power to complete projects, processes, unions and dissolutions are held in the some day messages as well. So, we reap the lack, the injustices, and every level of impoverishment we have created by our false beliefs weaving a reality of discouragements. The Grapevine wisdom reminds us that the wholeness of creation, the joy of being, and the greatness of sharing belongs to us. We simply need to see how we are reaping through our thoughts, emotions, beliefs and actions. We need to be aware of the journey we are creating. Direct the journey toward the true abundance of life as health, creative powers, joy in relating, love in all experiences, and we will create completions that are the joyfully fulfilling of our soul intentions. Grapevine energy of the Universe teaches us a very important message: Gratitude. From the simple to the sublime, gratitude is the carrier of peace, the expression of love, and the experience of wholeness. Be grateful to everyone who has joined your path of life. Give honor to the challengers, the defenders, and those who inspirer you. If you have not given honor to those of the past, do so. This will help you be in the present. Give honor to those in the present so the past is not the constant journey and the present is the moments of joyful living, loving, and being. This Lunar Cycle the Celtic Festival of the Autumnal Equinox occurs the day before the next New Moon, thus can be celebrated during Grapevine time or Ivy s time. Autumnal Equinox is known to the Druids as Alban Elfed (pronounced elved and means the Light of Autumn). It is also known as the Harvest Celebration. You will find a ceremony to use for this Celtic Festival on: http://facesofwomanspirit.brownrice.com/pdf/autumnequinox.pdf I will speak of the Cosmic Alignment occurring during her New Moon Phase on the News page of www.facesofwomanspirit.com. 5
Hazel and Grapevine and Companions of Consciousness The State of Consciousness that Hazel brings is noted in the flow of the Sub Consciousness Field, as you can see in the Trestle Board Configuration. This Field represents our personal subconsciousness and the doorway to our soul awareness. Of course, our Subconscious can be seen in two qualities: our inner most shadow of challenges as well as the doorway to the Light of our Being and the talents we are yet to express. Corresponding energies that work with Hazel include Mercrianna (ruling planet who works from the realm of the Cognitive Consciousness), Crone of the Past and the Lower World; both a part of the Subconscious are also utilized. Interestingly, Grapevine works through the realm of Supernal Consciousness, the power of Source, and the Foundation Set to allow each soul to follow the plan of a given Earth-life experience. Source and WomanSpirit/Divine Feminine (One and the Same) grace this field with abundance, purpose, gratitude and the grace to complete the journey intended. Grapevine carries rulership by two fields, Mercrianna and Venus (more said below). Allow yourself to continue to create the foot-prints of your year with the Grace to work within these fields of awareness so you may weave into your personal conscious the vibrations that support your highest potentials. Field of: Supernal Conscious Cognitive Conscious Sub Conscious (aka unconscious) Higher Consciousness Trestle Board- Revealer of Soul Journey 1 The Trestle Board reveals a mystical code for living the Transpersonal Life: S.E.M.P.E.S. Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, Physical, Ego and Soul, as One. It is an imprint of consciousness our Soul uses to travel in the Realm of the Unknown (Earth). It is the code that keeps us in holistic harmony, allowing the right use of cognitive awareness, unconscious responses to life, and higher 1 Anyone who would like to work with their personal Trestle Board through Counseling, please let me know: katlynann@aol.com 6
conscious wisdom encoded within all of us. Using this as a foundation of knowledge throughout this year will help guide the wisdom and energy of each Lunar Month. We continue weaving th right vibrations for use in 2014! On the Trestle Board Mercrianna is in the row of symbols flowing through the Cognitive Consciousness. Reminding us to remain alert in our quest of life. Being clear in our mind helps us be clear in our heart. Its Intelligence is called Transparent Intelligence (also know the Intelligence of Light). It is the image of magnificence Source. This intelligence we all carry within. We Know the image of source in three way: Source the Magnificence that appears to be a quality of intelligence well beyond our means of understanding. In this power, we maintain a reverence and devotion, to The Higher Mind of Allness. In the Intelligence of the Higher Mind, we use the power of awareness to seek this knowledge through our life journeys to open to the Divine Thoughts and expression that guide us. Finally, Mercrianna expresses the Intelligence within ourselves. From the intelligence within our selves we are called to the power of faith. Maintaining faith through conscious diligence, we can recognize All in the great capacity of Everything or within the singular moments of awareness that we need to maintain our daily balance. We realize, cognitively, that we are and can utilize Divine Intelligence to guide our experiences at all times. As the Law of Mercrianna/Mercury is the Law of Expression, we are all called to allow the Expression of Source to be the guidance of our mind and words that are used to create our reality. On the Trestle Board we see Venus in the row of symbols flowing through the Cognitive Consciousness as well. Venus is guided by the Law of Creative Imagination. The Universal Intelligence is Luminous Intelligence. It reveals that each soul is encompassed in Light, passes through darkness and into the Light of awareness, holiness, and completeness. It enables us to find our way as we cultivate the living experience of our Soul while we journey through Earth. Of course we have the joining of two different worlds and two different time patterns as we enter the realm of Hazel and Grapevine. Hazel continues the walk of the Wisdom of the Crone of the Past and the Lower World. During this lunar cycle we are leaving Summer and entering more of our awareness of Fall. We continue to connect to the Harvesting time. Again, a time to reap what we have learned, reap what we have sown along the way, and gather the wisdom through manifest realities. We are rewarded, if we have the mind to recognize it and the emotions to be grateful. The Lower World s enticing field is becoming stronger. The gift of entering our inner domain is an urging that helps us review our life events, gather what we have learned, release and prepare to enter a new stage of our existence once again. Of course, we 7
can see that we are called to be aware of our subconscious mind...for we cannot take dominion of our self unless we are aware of what is automatically moving us mentally and emotionally; as well as the guidance of our soul and higher wisdom. The Lower World is the world of our psyche and the hidden realities of our talents. It aligns with the frequency of the Law of Revealing: Within the Universe this Law calls to attention that All can be revealed. What it asks of each individual is the desire to ask and the willingness to allow the revelations to occur. What appears to be secrets truly are not! Mysteries of the Universe are revealed by the seeker. The seeker must be willing to open their mind and heart to seek, feel and know the multi-dimensions of the Universal Reality. Crone of the Past is the gift of our Soul Timing; the wisdom within our self that is the Navigational Guide for our lifetime. Crone of the Past carries the frequency of the Law of Awareness: One must maintain the power of knowledge through the essence of awareness. Living provides the empowerment of cognizance. The range of what can be known or understood depends on the individual willingness to learn, understand the scope of experiences of life, and understand the power of perception. This is most certainly a time to recognize the power of Mercrianna and Venus as well as Hazel and Grapevine state of consciousness. We must be willing to drop into our inner world to capture the molten energy of creation that our soul-cauldron is constantly stirring. We may pass through darkness, challenges and the false beliefs that keep us living the agenda of lack and reaping what we don t want. Or, we can pass from the darkness into the Light of Truth, empowerment and the confidence to live the alchemy of our Highest Natures. It takes our own self to make the decision to cultivate and reveal the refined quality of our true self. Grapevine brings in another arena of awareness that helps us move through the undercurrents of the Lower World. Grapevine is aligned with the World of Cuegant (Source). She (as well as Hazel) express through the Law of Wholeness. This law reveals the constant truth that every soul is contained in the existence of All that Is; All that Is, is contained in every soul. Every person, animal, plant, mineral and galactic essence is complete in and of itself, and therefore Whole. Of course, this then provides us with the wisdom that: - Existence of holism is within us and within our manifest world - There is nothing we cannot manifest, for it already IS - The Universe, in its holism, moves in and out, spirals and evolves and nothing is ever lost or gained as It is simply exploring Itself - We are that exploration - The exploration offers constant manifestation of ideas and desires 8
In the realm of the Supernal Consciousness we connect with Oneness. We understand the wisdom of the Holy Spirit as S/He expresses the Selflessness of Being. Her/His Vibration is in Loving Wholeness and yet in the Paradox of Duality. Feminine/Masculine, Passive/Active, Dark/Light, and so on. In this Oneness State is the preparation for the expression of duality to be presented with Wholeness, Love, and the power to Complete. He/She reveals the power to move from the ethereal state to the realm of matter and to return again. As we prepare to go into the darkness of the year, to research our inner being once again, to become partially inactive so we may receive higher guidance, this incredible realm is like a cradle in a bough of the Universal Tree. It calls us to be held in the Light of Source, directed by the Radiant Rays of Loving Influence, and to remain in sacred attitudes of gratitude and willingness to cycle again and again through our experiences. Our Use of these Powerful Energies What then is the energy we are using as we enter and utilize the wave frequencies of the New Moon of Hazel and the Full Moon of Grapevine? Explore these words from within you and note what they mean to you. Return Faith and Wisdom Abundance Completion Gratitude Blessings to you all. May I give you honor as well. I am grateful that you are in my life. I am grateful for your laughter, your joy in learning, and your wisdom to walk the walk for which Spirit has called you to honor. Thank you for being a Grand Part of My Life. Warm blessings of love, Katherine Rev. Katherine Bell, Ph.D., D.D.
