Happy Autumnal Equinox and hello to you all!  I hope your summer has been a good and joyful one.  And now we find ourselves at the equinox, bringing us fully into autumn, as some of the temperatures of late remind us.  Autumn is busy with harvest, gathering the fruits of labor over the summer.  It is also the gathering and harvest for the self-work we have been doing; the time for the realization of what we have created through our own inner planting, and how we nurtured it and fertilized it. 

Autumn also finds us busying ourselves preparing for the winter.  It is such a transitional season.  Like spring, transitioning into birth and growth, autumn is the transition into harvest, dying, and toward the silence of winter.  As is the cycle of nature, so is the cycle of all life on this beautiful and wonderful planet.  It has been a planet of the third dimension (though changing), bringing with it limited sight through the belief of duality, limited hearing, self-inflicted limitation of what we are capable of, and conditioning of the kind that makes us work to find the divinity that we are - that is truly our birthright.  But it is time to break out of that conditioning and realize the fullness of who we are, the energy of the All That Is within us, for how can we be anything else?  If you believe that there is a Divine Consciousness and Ultimate Source of All Things, are you not part of that?  You can’t be outside of All That Is.

Being who I am and the energy I carry, I love the autumn.  The mystery of things once alive, now going back to the earth to create a new spring after the long, seeming death of winter, is a reflection of who and what all beings are.  There is no end, there is no death, there is only a resting place in the seeming death of things that creates new life in the season following.  We are no different.  We are a part of the cycle on this planet, and when autumn comes and we slow down toward our “death” and then pass, we are spending time re-creating ourselves on the soul level, of which the only truth lies - to be reborn again with the strengths we brought into the dying season.  (And you do not have to die in a literal sense to do this).  All life is like this.  We are akin to the trees, the grass, the butterfly, the birds, the stars moving through the heavens.  It all cycles around again and again.  And so why should we be different?  We are not.

Moving forward here, this blog is not so much about truths and philosophy as it is about picking your brains.  I see myself doing workshops and talks in the near future, but there is so very much to talk about that I feel I am at a smorgasbord and don’t know what to choose from.  I need your help.  Some of the things I would love to work with are as follows (and not in order of preference so much as the order of thoughts coming out):

Transitions of life;

Transitions into death;

Bringing spirituality into hospice work and seeing the sacred in death;

Grief and bereavement: how to allow oneself to be with it, regardless of what others think

How to support (companion) someone going through grief;

How changing your story can change your life/Affirmations/What you feel, think and say, and how it affects your life;

Universal Laws: knowing, understanding, and living them for the benefit of your soul and your life;

The keys to the Universal Laws: All is energy, forgiveness, self-love, strength of will of the emotional and mental bodies;

The meaning of the soul’s purpose;

Three words to live by: Believe, Surrender, Trust;

The ability to receive (which most people think they do, but do not) as well as give;

Creating a circle of what you wish to allow in your life vs. what you do not;

Fabric of the soul – what it is and how it works;

So there you have some of the topics that can be discussed, or that can be turned into workshops, either for a morning, afternoon, or all day.  I am asking for feedback on this in what you would like to hear or learn more about, to delve into more deeply.  All are good topics, but where are you with regard to where you would like to be?  What would benefit you the most?  Some of the above topics would overlap a bit, but it will give me a much better idea of where to focus for bringing something to a talk or workshop.

As we prepare for the stillness of winter, let us celebrate the bounty of the harvest, not only in our gardens, but also in our lives.  I’m sure many of you have made great strides forward over the past few months.  I would love to hear about it.  Or hear about where you might be stuck.  Those are the things we need to have talks or workshops about!

Much love and many blessings to you all and thank you for your feedback on this.

In closing, Haniel came forward to say a few words.

"Greetings to you all on such wonderful paths toward the Light.  Each one, in your own time, your own way, for your own purpose, will eventually come to a crossroads in your search for your life’s purpose, truth, and love.  Your choices should honor who you are and for the highest good.  And know that everything comes in cycles, as that is the way of all life, whether on this beautiful planet, or elsewhere.  Energy is ever moving, ever changing, ever expanding.  Nothing is stagnant.  As is often said on this Earth, the only constant is change.  That is evidenced by the cycles of the moon.  Things move constantly forward, ever expanding, as thoughts add to the whole of the One that all things are.  Thoughts create new thoughts, things become manifest, and then new thoughts and desires are derived from that very manifestation. 

"Work with the cycles of the moon.  The new moon is a time when things are fresh, blossoming.  Think about what you would love to create for the highest good of self and others.  Talk to the moon of these dreams. At the full moon, let it go unto the Universe for collaboration, remaining unattached as to the hows and whens this manifestation might occur.  You’ve put it out there, so let it go, rather like a helium balloon that rises into the light of the sun.  See it as done through the fullness of the moon, the all-light in the darkness.  You might be surprised if you study the cycles of the moon and your own attitudes and energy as to where these cycles in your life fit in with regards to the moon cycles.  And for women of childbearing age, a woman’s cycle has been revered by so many native people to be magic to the point of allowing women to go to another place at that time, so that the power they are wielding will not affect the rest of the tribe until it is meditated upon.  It is a time of honor.  It is the same with the moon cycles.  Revere them for their power.  Learn to work with them, for it will bring your consciousness into focus for what you do want instead of what you do not want.  And allow the light in the darkness to shine also within your soul.  And know in speaking with the moon of your desires and standing in that light, you are talking to the energy of Divine Consciousness and will be heard.  You do not pray to the moon, as the moon is a part of the same energy you are, the Divine energy.  You talk with the moon asserting Self and acknowledging its unique power in the scheme of the One.  You work together.  Be positive in your statements and not plaintive.  Be strong and ask for your highest good, and for the highest good for all, for God’s will needs to be your will.  See it as accomplished.  Yeshua said that all those that ask, believing, will be answered.  Much love, encouragement, and support is here for you."
