Sun
Moon Dance @ Easter Time This will be the 15th Sun Moon Dance in Australia and I never tire of saying to those who asks lots of question, “When the Dance reaches into your mind as a regular occurrence then the Dance is calling you to fulfil the promise you made many eons ago. Just show up and Dance. Put your questions and ego behind you and let God take over.” To Dance is to break with crystallization. The mind ego is great at persuading you to do otherwise. How else can it have control over you if not by ego persuasion to sabotage your growth and potential possibilities? Spiritual Dance is not a walk in the park, it is confronting, physically demanding, and spiritually rewarding. When you commit to Dance you commit to do 4 Danes to honour all aspects of your being and brings them together as one. The best way to learn more about the Sun Moon Dance is to
volunteer your services from Good Friday to Easter Monday. There is lot’s
to do and we need many willing hands and hearts to keep the space in peace
and perfection for the dancers. Are you ready to spend Easter Time in
prayer? I know, being part of the Sun Moon Dance is a life changing
experience that propels you forward in your quest for connection with
spirit.

THE
TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN
It is believed the influx of light and change has been
gaining momentum since the full moon lunar eclipse December 21st 2010. A
heavenly event that had not happened more than a couple of times in 2000
years and we are blessed to be born to experience it and it is this influx
of light that has heralded the pivotal changes for our planet to evolve
even faster.
I have my own beliefs. I believe the change began many
years ago and the quickening started a couple of years ago gaining greater
momentum late winter till the big rains last September into
October/November 2010. We are moving through the 11th year of this
millennium. Right around the world unusual natural phenomena started to
manifest in our earthly plane. Since late last year the earth and all her
children have experienced a shake up to wake up. So many natural
disasters, that it is best not to delve into them in any detail, suffice
to say the after effects along with other upheavals will continue for a
few more years. This is not meant to cause you grief but to awaken you to
changes that need to be made as we move into the new age. The date of the
Age of Aquarius is contentious and I choose not to stick my finger in to
stir the pot. However, if we are to believe that numerous uncharacteristic
occurrences are heralding the change, then we must awaken to ourselves and
our environment.
Last days of October to early November fell during the
auspicious Diwali waning moon cycle which is significant to the Hindu
people. Diwali is celebrated at the dark of the moon by lighting little
oil filled earthen pots to light the way for beauty and knowledge to enter
all life. Darkness covers and hides that which we are ashamed off and
needs to be kept hidden. Light illuminates everything including our minds
and fills it with knowledge and understanding giving us sight.
Metaphorically speaking Light is knowledge and darkness is repression.
Hence the sayings, being kept in the dark; brought out in the light!!
Lighting the little oil lamps is to bring in light to reveal beauty and
potential possibilities in ourselves and the world that surrounds.
It was during October/November we had torrential rain
allowing numerous rivers to flow through the property but, nothing stopped
or dampened the spirits of the few people who sat in quiet meditation on
the property the last weekend in October. The fire burnt brightly, and as
the water flowed past, it transformed and rose as steam that carried the
prayers and thoughts of those who sat there feeding it. I see that time,
as the beginning, of the earth changes gaining momentum.
Moving thought this 11th year of the new millennium has
caused me to look closely and deeply at the number 11 because it is my
number. The spiritual meaning of number 11 is quite diverse. Its energy is
one of opposition, and the balance required to achieve synthesis.
The number 11 has two straight lines, or pillars that
stand side by side like two people with one value. Even though they are
one in value they maintain their individuality and oneness in
togetherness. This brought me to the realization that while we are one, we
are many, with opinions and involvement in the progression and ascension
of unified life, based upon the essence of love. It will only work if we
do not enslave ourselves to self- involvement. The number 11 is about
perfect balance like that of the day and night. Spiritually speaking the
number 11 is about being objective and subjective in life to be able to
walk between the pillars of choice that determines the outcome.
Metaphorically speaking, number 11 is a gateway that beckons the marriage
of duality of day and night; black and white; depression and happiness;
rest and play that is inherent in humanity.
May you walk the balance beam of life with grace and good
measure.
Jennie THE
MEANING OF NUMBERS
St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354–430) wrote
"Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans
as confirmation of the truth." Like Pythagoras, he too believed that
life was a relationship of numbers that needed investigation. Here
is a simple guide to the meaning of numbers 1 to 5. These meanings are generalities and need to be
viewed as such. There are numerous layers to numerology which I
leave you to explore at your own pace.
One: The beginning. Purity, strong will,
positivity and aloneness. When 1 drops in its time to exert individuality,
start a fresh, take action with eyes that see. Two: Two is dancing the tango. Partnership.
Polarity. Being in balance and harmony. The ability to move with ease.
When 2 comes calling it is asking you to think with the heart and feel
with the mind. Three: The three aspects of man – the past,
present and future. The holy trinity. Intuition, creativity and
co-operation. When 3 presents repeatedly, it is time to take a look at the
impact of the past, the quagmire of the present and the promise of the
future.
Four: Four is the division of all life and
nature to be able to look back and look forward to life and natures
seasons while being strongly rooted in the present. It is the four
elements, four primary colours, seasons and the four bodies. When 4
follows you around it is calling you to plant yourself in all aspects of
your being especially persistence and endurance, because you will need
them to take stock of yourself.
Five: Number 5 is the hand which comprises
of the thumb that represents one true spirit the four fingers each
represents the 4 elements. Number 5 is also the phases of life – seed,
root, tree, limbs and fruit. This is the Tree of Life. Alchemists know
them as Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether. |
