A Short Testament – poem

A Short Testament  
by Anne Porter
 
Whatever harm I may have done
In all my life in all your wide creation
If I cannot repair it
I beg you to repair it, 

And then there are all the wounded
The poor the deaf the lonely and the old
Whom I have roughly dismissed
As if I were not one of them.
Where I have wronged them by it
And cannot make amends
I ask you
To comfort them to overflowing,

And where there are lives I may have withered around me,
Or lives of strangers far or near
That I've destroyed in blind complicity,
And if I cannot find them
Or have no way to serve them,

Remember them. I beg you to remember them

When winter is over
And all your unimaginable promises
Burst into song on death's bare branches.

Sacred geometry for Sigils

A recent visitor asked where the Sigils came from.   Here is the artist’s answer.  As you will see, Regina is deeply involved and passionate about her art.  Thought you would find this interesting.

~~~~~

     The ancients that began to use symbols for communication also were very aware of the planets because of their need to forage for food.  The moon was their calendar and that was how they came up with the 28 day calendar.  They used stones to keep track of the 28 days that helped them understand the months of the year because roots and food grew as a result of the seasons.  Eventually they used stones to break down those calendars to weeks and even days. Those calendars have been found all over the world, especially in the Norwegian countries.
     Those ancients lived according to the planets that were over them.  In time they created telescopes (using ruby stones and other crystals to transmit energy) to locate planets.  They believed in energy transmission, as they did not speak the way we do today.  They used sign language and ESP to communicate.  At that time the pineal gland was as large a quarter. Once the ancients, who were at the time hunters and gatherers, began to use utterance and eventually words, the pineal gland reduced in size until today it is the size of a pea.  If a person learns about the Chakras they can learn about energy transference.  Barbara Brennan’s books are great for that (Emerging Light is very informative.)
     At any rate, the ancients realized that there was more to life than the earth body. Because they had to live by their wits, and unspoken communication, and the planets, they knew that there was an energy that led them — helped them to survive.  Many of them had visits from without the physical realm and some began to get information that led them to understand the powers around them.  They named those powers after the planets they were observing.  Some of the tribal men began to meet and discuss in their own way what information they were getting.
     A set of books that can explain that is “The secrets of Ancient Geometry and its use”, by Tons Brunes.  It will give you the information you need to understand how using geometrical language was how the ancients were able to pin point and measure planets.  Barbara Brennan’s books, which can explain the energy that comes from those planets or the electrical grid that we live by today, are also guides to how energy works and how that energy was transferred into the knowledge of angelic beings that could energize themselves to appear at different locations at any given time.
     The ancients believed, as I do after 30 years of exploration, that those angelic energies are coming from different directions according to planetary locations.  I believe, as do millions of others, that God is energy and the Holy Spirit is the positive-power energy that is transmitted to Christ, a huge amount of angels above the archangels, and then the archangels.
     I also found through experience that people who receive that transmission through crystals, sigils (if they are pure in God’s energy field via the Holy Spirit), and the laying on of hands to heal (which I have experienced), can receive the God energy. There are thousands of other ways but these are a couple.
The Geometrical symbols that I make are used as transmitters to receive that energy. They are symbols that were used geometrically to name the archangels.  I saw one symbol of Raphael on the walls of the tombs in Egypt via a Drunvalo tape that I was watching.  The symbols are very old. 
     It took me two years to realize what the Archangel Gabriel was doing for me.  Even though I was making the sigils I really didn’t have the faith to see what was going on. Once I accepted what was happening as a result of wearing it, I began to know when they were working for me.
     This is a long answer and I hope it sheds some light on the subject.   I have read many, many books and practiced a huge amount of learning to realize what I know.  There really isn’t an easy answer.
Blessings,

On helping others

I had a conversation with someone who was picking out an affirmation label for her sister Joan.  She described a little of Joan’s life and her challenges and mistakes.  She wanted to get the I am willing to change affirmation because she perceived Joan as stuck.  We decided that it didn’t really matter what she thought Joan needed; what mattered was what Joan thought.  She eventually settled on I trust my intuition because Joan recently started to talk about feeling an inner push to a new direction.

As I reflected on that exchange, I realized that the best way to support someone else is to accept where and who they are right now.  Listen.  Encourage the positive changes.  Try to not judge.  If I have trouble with someone else’s situation, I need to change the way I think about it.  Our thoughts are the only thing we can control anyway.

“If you don’t like something, change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.”

A new beginning

What is the catalyst for a new beginning?  A life change can make you feel like you are jumping off a cliff, that you are forced into a new beginning.  A new beginning can also start with an affirmation.  Science is behind the claim that self-affirmations work.   Regular reinforcement of affirmations strengthens a chemical pathway in the brain, making the connection between neurons stronger, therefore more likely to conduct the same message again.

Every thought we think is creating our future.”
  ~ Louise Hay, author

“In neurology, this concept is summed up in the phrase, Neurons that fire together, wire together.  Neural synapses that are seldom or never used get efficiently eliminated by the brain’s cleaning crews…  Neurons that are routinely fired in a specific pattern will strengthen their bond, “wiring together” in a complex network that will be automatically set off whenever a trigger is presented in one’s everyday life.”  (from http://hubpages.com/hub/self-affirmations)

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”
~ William James, philosopher

Try it!  Pick a positive affirmation for yourself (using only positive statements), word it for the present moment (as though it has already happened), and make it short and to the point, such as I love vegetables.  Then remind yourself of it several times a day.  Even if you don’t believe it at first, be observant of how you feel about it over the next few weeks.  I’d love to hear about your results.
