The Endgame…
Is not the worship of the Christ…
But becoming IT…

The Antidotes…to Stress…Fear…and Anxiety…
Isis with Horus – African Prototype-Virgin Mary With Child – Altar/Photograph by Toni Roberts
I…as you…am a mere mortal working diligently to maintain balance and equilibrium in a world gone berserk…the only thing preventing me from flying apart into a million confused pieces is Time spent with the Ancestors…hours communing with my Spirit Guides…and seeking Divine Counsel from my Family which art on the Other Side of Life…
I have thus discovered the antidotes to STRESS…FEAR…and ANXIETY…The three causes of all that ails us…throwing our bodies…minds…and souls out of kilter…and into states of disease…imbalance…and despair…
STRESS…One may replace all traces of STRESS…with PEACE…
One may…indeed…achieve a “peace beyond understanding…”a lasting PEACE that remains with one throughout the day…by simply beginning each day in quiet prayer…journaling…and in Meditative Contemplation in one’s Sacred Space…
This daily time of SILENCE…surrounded by Living Spirit then becomes one’s anchor in this life…one’s “church…”one’s “religion…”
One’s antidote to STRESS…
FEAR…the “mind-killer…” cannot exist in the same space with LOVE and GRATITUDE…
And so…one must remain mindful each moment of each day of what one is feeling…
Mindful…of the Energy that one is projecting out into the world with every thought…word…and action…
Are you responding to the world with LOVE…? Or with ridicule and judgment…?
Do you give when and where you see a need that you can fulfill…?
Are you living each day mindful of the healing power of LOVE…?
Are you immersing yourself in loving Energy whenever…wherever…and with whomever you can…?
One finds that FEAR all but disappears in the abundance of LOVE…pouring naturally…Un-summoned…from one’s heart into the world…
LOVE is then proven to be an inherent…intrinsic…inborn antidote to FEAR…
ANXIETY…once you have accepted the Reality that you did not create yourself…it then follows that there must exist…in some Realm or Other…THAT WHICH CAUSED YOU INTO BEING…
Whatever It may be…
By Whatever Name called…
It then follows that this Creative Intelligence…that created you…knows why It has created you…
Therefore…
Your only job is to learn why you are here…
The Purpose in your being human on planet Earth…
It then becomes easy to relax into your life…whatever it may look like at any given moment…with the TRUST that your CREATOR will show you the reason for your BEING…
You can then put one trusting…faithful foot before the other as you step carefully through the most troubling and fearful times…
Knowing that THAT WHICH CAUSED YOU INTO BEING…also knows what It is doing with your life…
Right here…Right now…Step by step…Walk in faithful knowing…
Live your life with TRUST…
The antidote to ANXIETY…
Ase and Goddess bless us all.

Our Prayers…
Sky At Dusk – Photograph by Toni Roberts
for
WHOLENESS…
HEALING…
and
SELF-UNDERSTANDING
never
go
UNANSWERED…
(we cannot, however, have one without the others!)
in fact…
as a
bonus
from the
“REALMS OF THE DIVINE…”
we also learn…via answered prayer…that we are the only thing standing in our way…
blocking
the
BLESSINGS
that
are
our
natural
INHERITANCE…

“…As Little Children…” – Photograph by Toni Roberts
Am realizing the full impact of spiritual surrender…
of becoming once more as a child…
innocent…
forgiving…
leaping off
yet another of
life’s
cliffs…
trusting
that there is
indeed
SOMETHING
to catch me
before
I
smash
into
the
rocks
below…

The Invisible Substance Of Beingness
Creation – Penci Drawing/Photo by Toni Roberts
I strongly suspect
that all that I refer to as:
I
Me
Mine
is merely an
empty
mold
into which
THE INVISIBLE SUBSTANCE OF BEINGNESS
is
poured
What I Heard Today While Sitting…Breathing…Waiting…Listening…

the secret of health, wealth and longevity:
when
Life
brings an end to
a
job
a
relationship
a
dream
etc...
LET IT GO…
stop trying to resuscitate that which is
DEAD…
release the
PAST
and move on…

New Year Lesson # 1:
Portrait of the Artist
Release...
Total and complete release is required…
A cleansing…
A sweeping clean of the past…
All of it…
The “bad“
As well as the “good“
All of it…
Cling not to
Visions of former grandness…
Total and complete emptiness is required
That you may be
re-filled with Light…
newly-formed and re-crafted:
New self...
New life…
New way of Be-ing…
Made anew…

Incoming Thoughts On Becoming Whole…
river at twilight
right-doing flows from right-being…
sunset
let go…be still…surrender
and thus be made ready for Divine Service
at the appointed time
sacred space
illumination does not come while shopping or bar-b-que-ing
it steals upon one slowly
in the Silence
when one is alone in the dark stillness
of Being
sunset
what is most difficult in this process of becoming whole
is the necessity of surrender
of submitting one’s ego-directed will
to Something that can only be felt…or sensed…
never known in the three-dimensional modes of
touch…sight…hearing...taste or smell
one is, nonetheless, acutely aware of
It…
some indwelling Thing
that is more true…
more real…
than any thing in the
manifest world
Ode To The Great Mother On Her Day…
Sheila-na-gig
Let us make of ourselves
Holy Passageways
From Heaven to Earth
Let us get in harmony
With the flow of Feminine Energy
Mother Energy
Healing
Energy…
Let us be the salve that heals the
Wounds
of
Humanity
Let the Power of the
Great Mother of all there is
Bring peace and abundant blessings
To all of Her children
Let us honor Her
In all of Her Expressions:
The Oceans…
Rivers…
Mountains and Lakes…
The very Earth:
Gaia Herself
Upon whose Holy Body
We live and feed…
Let us be Her Representatives in the flesh…
Let us all…male and female…
All who profess to honor and love
Our flesh mothers…
Let us so honor the
Mother of Humanity…
The Ancient Mother-Goddess
Who birthed the
Universe Itself
And all of the
Gods
