Warrior Women





























































I will keep this short...











Everyday women fight. They fight themselves in trying to love what they see in their mirror. Trying to embrace the plump young breasts or the memory of, as they begin to perhaps sag in some places. Dimples that replace once firm thighs and buttocks.











They fight their fellow women as they have to keep up with some appearances in hopes to be socially accepted. They forever look for the comfort and company of their fellow sistern, looking for some bond that is ageless and seems more of a myth although their intuition tells them otherwise.











They fight their their male counterparts in a world where they are looked on as emotionaly unstable, dramatic, under par, less than... It has been said a man could never handle being a woman for a week let a lone a lifetime. Men couldnt handle the emotional capacity to bare a child and bond with it for 9months having it be OF them.











Women are Strength in the guise of the softest bodies. The external nothing but a husk that hides an undercurrent of resillience, a well of deep intuition and timeless beauty.











Women are warriors all in themselves. Look at the many mothers with single children, look at the women who have to work everyday to make a a quarter to every mans dollar, look at the women who recieve men and women in love in the purest sensual moments, and yet have to be judged by the world.











Women look forward and up, never behind or down. Be regal, accept your queendom.

The Second Coming




Is it possible that maybe the 2nd coming of Jesus is Symbolic and not so literal. Is it possible that perhaps, just PERHAPS we can look into the symbolism of the 2nd coming and see that it is all about ones consciousness. I ask you to open up your mind and allow me to paint a picture based on these passages.






For one God is in us. He made us in his image and there fore we have some godliness in us that we can tap into at any time. He is not so much this great invisible external force but yet this resonating energy inside of us that connects to the very universe and its inhabitants.






The Devil is not some horned, goat cloven hoofed menace, but instead the very essence of our potential humanity gone a rye. He is Impatience, haughtiness, arrogance, envy/jealousy, hatred, fear, anger all unchecked and manifested to the third degree. We are all capable of these things to some degree. His existence is not some coincidence but a polar opposite (as the universe has in many aspects) of what God is. You cant have good without bad, left with out right, dark with out light. There must be a balance to every force.






Trumpets are sounded through out the heavens....



Trumpets have always been used not just as instruments for the melody of beautiful music but to also raise consciousness, awareness and to more importantly warn or draw attention too. It has served as an alarm for waking up troops back in the day as well as to alarm them that war is coming or draw their attention to an approaching army.



So maybe the Heavens is symbolic of this plane of existence/enlightenment/spirituality.... and we all tend to look up to the heavens for meditation or guidance. Whether or not we are atheist or religious, we can see the vastness of the sky, the endless possibilities. Hence the term Sky is the limit.



So the Trumpet sounding is bringing our attention to things about to happen or things that are unfolding before us. In this case in regards to enlightenment/ spirituality.






The few far and in between spoken of as who will rise into heaven.... Even in Revelations which states 'the road leading to everlasting life is short and narrow, but the road leading to destruction is broad and spacious.'



So FEW will attain this level of enlightenment and consciousness. Few will rise above their fellow man and really get the purpose of it all.



There is talk of Nations Rising against nations, people against people, hatred for those who do get admitted into the Kingdom (place of consciousness). People who think outside the man made box. Jesus words of 'The world will hate you for being no part of them, just as I am no part of them.' Or when he said 'to Follow me is to shoulder your own cross/stake' and carry your own burden to persecution. People will not accept through their ears what they cannot accept through their heart.






Don't we see this today people hating others for allowing themselves to be happy? People hating and envying those that have or attain what they themselves do not?






Which brings me to Jesus.... Forget for a moment the Jesus you hear about, or think you know. Forget Jesus the God and or Jesus the man.... Lets instead look at his actions throughout his ministry. Jesus was about LOVE, INCLUSION, and ACCEPTANCE. He dined and ministered to those shunned by almost all of the world or with in the community. Everyone from tax collectors, whores, lepers, Pharisees/sagucees, poor, fisherman, different races considered taboo by his own religion and or cultural laws (Samaritans), and even women and children.



He accepted we are all Gods Creation, he admitted through many of his prayers how God loves his creation even before it is made or comes into existence. He exemplified sacrifice, moderation, humility, love, patience and more importantly humanity. He was tested with hunger, fatigue, and the very devil himself even tried to tempt the very "son of God". He went through everything we ever have to go to and maybe more, and yet still prayed for those who wished him harm or whose intentions were ill.



What if Jesus was about realizing our connectivity? Realizing we are all Gods Creatures, all created by the big supreme universal source? No one above the other, our actions effecting one another? So respect and love is key in recognizing you may not understand the next person or the thing you coincide with, but you have to love each other for the simple fact that you came from the same creator/source?



What if the second coming of Jesus is this recognition? This very line of thinking that dictates how we live life and how we treat everyone and everything around us? When we realize "WOW we are connected, I can't litter the very earth I live on and not take into account that an animal, a person, a plant that shares this very planet with me isn't effected by that."



What if we accept our brothers and sisters who practice other faiths and who adhere to the beliefs of their culture and although our lack of insight into their ways, or ignorance of their practices and traditions we still can love them? We still can be ok with what they do no matter how foreign to us? What if we extended our hand to them in an embrace or even just to help them when they stumble? What if we acted like Jesus?



Wasn't Jesus words "The GREATEST COMMANDMENT is to love thy neighbor as thyself?" What if we actually did that? Wouldn't that allow the God, the Jesus to rise up in us? To in essence come through us?



This is more easier for me to see than an actual Huge airplane sized trumpet appearing out of nowhere and people floating to this place above the clouds, where they leave behind all of the others who didn't believe as them....



My God believes in variety hence why no one flower even of the same kind is the same color or sometimes even the same shape. Why people are of different hews, and birds of different colors who like different food sources. No one is supposed to be the SAME!






So I guess I encourage those who believe in Jesus to allow his actions and ways to work through you. Love the man and woman you walk by or share this world with, no matter if you understand them or not. Embrace them offer them help, love, prayers with out reservation, judgement, or hesitation. Follow in the footsteps left ahead of you.

World versus Spirit

SO today I will point to the Holy Bible. Although written and rewritten so long ago by imperfect human beings who didn't even understand Jesus when he talked to them in the flesh let alone the spirit.... The book still holds some relevance and has some importance in our day to day.

Matthew 24:4 & 5 "LOOK out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying "I am the Christ," and will mislead many.

Matthew 24: 23&24 "Then if anyone says to you, "Look! Here is the Christ," or "There!" do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible even the chosen ones.

Matthew 7: 21- 23 "Not everyone saying to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter into the Kingdoms of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father whom is in the heavens will. Many will say to me "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?" And I will confess to them: I never knew you! get away you workers of Lawlessness.

John 17: 14- 26 (too much to type) But Jesus Stresses that his followers who truly got the message of his work,of Gods work were to be no part of this world, just as he was no part of the world. He Said he as they were are IN this world but have to be no part of it. He stressed that God loves those before they are even created. He stresses the need for his children to be ONE in union with him and his father. he stresses we have all been given the Glory, the Knowledge, the love to do be in union with another.

I think people need to look into why they go to Church. Being no part of the world to me is more of a state of consciousness. We have to transcend our earthly/worldly way of looking at thing, and judging things and simply let spirit, instinct, intuition, God guide us. The Worldly versus the Spirit was always stressed throughout this book with sayings like 'Pay Cesar's things to Cesar and Gods things to God' and "Stop storing up the treasure upon the earth where moth and rust consume, and thieves break in and steal. Rather store up yourselves the treasures in heaven." Its about knowing your wealth in the spirit knowing that you are supplied for, watched out for. You have but to reach inside to find God and these treasures, God is not some huge all consuming External force but rather in us. IN our very being. Reach inside and let God out, let him manifest in your lives. See God the way you need to, not the way someone else wants you to.

I believe the biggest part of Jesus ministry was love. Yet you see people claiming only the love of Jesus, they forgot their fellow man. How can you LOVE Jesus and forget you own brothers and sisters? It goes against Gods will and greatest commandment. The very unity Jesus described above, is what doesn't happen. Its just people getting together under one roof and praising amongst excluding the very people that helped build there church up.

Beware the people who point at you and tell you what God wants for you, what JESUS/God has said as if they know the spoken word more than you do. Your interpretation of THE WORD is just as valid as theirs, we are all one in the spirit. Remember some of the very ones you look up to, who do many beautiful works, and are anointed are the very ones to turn you away from the will and love of God, as Jesus warns in the book of Matthew. Let No One do this, in fact Jesus Says "LOOK... you will know the tree for the fruit it bears." You will see what and who people really are if you look and listen. In Peter they say "the Devil is walking around like a Roaring Lion seeking to divide and destroy. So keep your senses..." That's right all senses. Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch, Hearing. When a Lion roars it roars to scare a herd of prey to scatter them and find the weakest one to go after. Its meant to confuse and disorient its prey. Lets not fall prey.
The Devil is not some sentient being, he is that part of human consciousness we all have that does ugly things. Its in us all, its the bad choices we make although we know we should do the opposite. he is our lack of judgement, our impatience, our judgmental attitude, our discouragement, our ego and arrogance, our hate and fear of things we don't understand. Lets rise above that.

I charge anyone who is or considers them self a "christian" to please take it upon yourself to ask questions, to research and read outside the bible and see that there is more to this book, this way of thinking this life. Get to know you and your culture and see where you place is in the world, find your voice and your spirit. Let it shine and exemplify the beauty of Gods creation. Love yourself no more shame, no more guilt, be you, be encouraged, be loved.
