Heart centered, Love connected,Passion powered

The photo above taken at the last equinox ritual,
 after I had made sacrifice, making the appeal for a sign, before searching for the omen.

Thankfully  technology captured this image of the natural circulation- communication-center.

The Vital element in Spiritual conductive inter-dimensional distribution of blessing,
  the focus of cosmic anatomy,
 and our own.

More than fleshy organ, or container of life blood,the center is a place of returning.
A moving  reconciliation of opposites ,
An energetic pressure pathway pumping,
Feeling beyond time and space,
so deep,
so personal,
so sincere,
SO STRONG!
power that keeps things going, hidden from sight.
Love
Love between things
the eternal externalization, the continued current , cycling of the whole.
Love Language
The heart felt expression / impression is the key feature of authentic sharing.
specially chosen care and attention on sacred occasions in recognition of the spirits that see into you.
directed desire dramas develop  if a gift is not freely given, the ritual is not understood.
True Love - Real Deal -No Joke
Basic sense of caring appreciation radiating genuinely within most everything,most everywhere.
Naturally occurring bonding stimulation behaviors.
Favorites - Friends - Family- Function - Force

The combination of  forms and spirits we feel for,
we feel love.
we give love.

impression of expression of long- a -go

The intended audience is rarely the only audience.
The wren may vocalize to another wren, but I can hear and recognize the song,guess at the activity.

The chipmunk may direct its cry of alarm and aggravation at Me specifically, but I am not obliged to give it My personal attention.

Communication and community are not concepts to be limited by a language of chosen identity.

We are swimming in a spiritual sea of influencing expressions - responding and reacting unknowingly.
Our destination,
Our interpretation of a message,
 piece of art,
or religious activity / belief is not necessarily identical in intent with its creators / practitioners at the time.
Our observations and opinion is not what make a subject valid or real.
judgement - appreciation - value - recognition

Pagan is the word for pre-existing spiritual folk beliefs of uncultured peoples,described as rustic and unsophisticated by an elite Social and religious order of Professionals.
Pagan was vulgar, common, wild, raw,unenlightened, old fashioned,illogical,irrational ,crude,unsafe, illegitimate to the clerics who originally used and wrote and read the word,
The term applied to others, not the name a people chose for themselves, about themselves.
not the intended audience;
or so they believed.
The word passed on from the minds and hearts to others souls unknown.
like me!
Is it crazy to believe that a natural common relationship of participation exists outside of individual awareness? and group belief ?
Free Spirited contributors in a drama beyond this dimension are WE.
no need to seek admission.
no special rules or treatment.
nothing to buy or sell.
nothing to prove.
just a sense of awe.

give -given - giving
Great

System sustainability in supportive relationship between the holding capacity of a Space= IT's ability to support Life upon it.

provide for people,    provide for chipmunks,        provide for wrens  ,  all oblivious to most but the most basic sense of personal comfort or discomfort, hunger and thirst.
The power and energy expressed through life activity.
Spirit Food distributed between bodies, between places, between times.
a natural awareness of competition for resources among inhabitants of this world.
a finite and limited mortal existence requiring cyclic transition and transformation of relationship to territory, range,habitat and home

The Spiritual practice that I promote and share involves a simple and honest perception and awareness broadening.
My expression, a combination of recognizable words and imagery as illustrated and published as editorial and prayer a long time ago, with the help of others.
An appeal to concise common sense communication over manipulative consumer product desire.
A few hundred people owned the contents of this creative contribution containing clever choices .
My Sacrificial Altar and offering!
Did they get it?
received? accepted?

The word Horse represents the domesticated animal that was not to be itself consumed.
 Horse is the Living breathing, eating  Work ....  the vocation vehicle of association and relationship....Spirit Transport.... caring partnership trust necessity

medium of delivery,   getting things out and about farther and faster than we could on our own.
It is not a machine designed for purpose, but a living force of its own.
It is not a way to make your living.
You have to look after it,care for it, house it,protect and keep it safe and well.
You have to sense happy from hurting.
You have to keep clean.
Avoiding  the spreading of common unpleasant and undesirable misconceptions, attitudes and beliefs.

Especially the tendency to think that person or group that make something up,
  become possessors  of an exclusive truth of superior relationship.
 Idea management- thought control-psychic industry
Infotainment platform click bait success recipe for feeling good by staying hyper engaged .
Attracting more readers by creating what they desire is not communication.
It is not Human expression.
It is not Chipmunk expression.
It is not Wren or Horse.
My impression
It is an expression of industry.
 It is a manufactured waste of personal attention,extracting the natural vitality of the creative contents of community. not my turf, the mechanism is inherently exploitative, unappreciative,energy suck.
professional pagan properties
The Idea
balance
More or Less

The presentation pose and posturing for the public pretensions striped bare.
Thought and form, idea shared beyond time and typeface through technology.

Authentic  audience awareness advanced.

hard to put in place

 

The build up to the Harvest Moon has a reflective pull on My observations  .
 Summer,with its emphasis  on sweat ,sunny or showery long Daylight , energetic extension of time
.
The Action - The Work- The Achievement - The Accomplishment- The Attitude- The Associations

What We Do is part of the difference We Make In This World.
What We See of the World is shaped by how we See Our Self.

Cosmic community  conversations  coinciding with anniversary s personal and public.
Special Events  of a specific limited place and time that carried a message out and beyond to others.
The Moon Landing, and later The Woodstock Festival on the anniversary of' the publication of,
 Rip Van Winkle.
Medias inspirational portal and group belief.
An uncommonly Peaceful but challenging  Journey within distance  magic- sound - sight - Self and Space.
lost time
Unnatural events
A uniquely contemporary artificial communication creation expanding the concept contained in a controlled craft of claimed ownership.
Competing corporate constructs capabilities of selling a sense of  discovery,
 having shared a sense of being there, on a fantastic journey to another place,
 a combination of amusement and amazement , psychic stimulants,promise of personal possession.

  A different vantage point, arrived at with a distributed map of privileged experience, a guided story, mythic journey,dream memory employing recording and editing technology to empower  popular products for people.............the specially  informed.
the recordings repeated remembered referenced  ritualized realized

Iconic worship of momentous moments mentioned = inspirational spirit summoned.
World Views Shared
popular memory magnified multiplied public opinion
heard it before?

Perhaps this is the place,
 to push the parameters of a perceptive priestly peering  practice participation perspective platform .

I don't know how I appear to others who gather for Holiday Ritual.
I am not always together,prepared or appreciative of group gathering,
I find it challenging to play with directing and assisting the excited spirits of others.
My obvious sense of mission is in performing a Ritual of Sacrifice.
 To Thank The Thirsty Spirits Season.
hoping to please ....     kind
wanting to help ....     caring
sharing to keep  ....    giving
by acknowledging the invisible Audience watching us, or Me anyway,
or so it seems, perhaps my own reflection, or the reflections of others .
Energy of Attention ,confluence of feeling and thought,
Seasonal lure that attracts Me to look into the deep inner workings contained in exhibits and presentations.
Prone to take the bait.
 Reverence of respecting relationships between what has been and what has yet to be.
It is wrong to put words in others mouths.
Wrong to misrepresent.
Wrong to spread lies.
Wrong to take by force, or force to accept.

SPIRITS are FREE  ~  TRUTH  is  Knowledge
 Awareness of the appetite of  Spirits that see and savor the sweat and effort made in honest  gifts freely given.
simple breath and action, thought and gesture, life ritual of sustenance- chosen effort.
My  service to sacrifice and season, the regular refreshing educational event reminder.
My Art is to get out of the way....... of the message, and the medium.
My place, pointing to portal.

The formula of ritual mostly the same ,the application method differing from expectations of precise formality or of spontaneous madness.  no need to fill roles, or play parts.creative directive pressure is taken off the task and strain of coordinating complex on the spot, awkward or uncomfortable circumstance in an effort to engage and be inclusive socially .
 Allowing people to observe at a comfortable distance is more important than promising a sacred opportunity at group event.
 Offering hope of a  turn for people to try out for, to take part in ritual occasions is a possibility,
 but not a  necessity, or standard .
It can easily distort the window-bust down the gate-blow out the seams.
group beliefs, popular feeding behaviors. forgetting what an occasion is really about.
I present it this way, to interpret- accept - reject - ignore.

The success of  ritual is not judged by performances of people,
 the collected work and bundled special talents of the gathered group,
 or the groups perceived experience of how things felt,
or what brings them back,
 but that of acceptance of spirit allies on the other end of the fire and well.

Pareidolia

Deep within, there is a desire for recognition within the perceptive field,an inbuilt mechanism to attempt to anticipate the future actions of a being, by the expressions revealed, at the point where the senses and the awareness intersect with the body and soul.

The reflex to identify and individuate the- character- will-mood-spirit-intent- is a precognitive, communicative mind reading wish that is part of the ancient habits of  flesh and form.

Face to face intimacy, authenticity is a function of life process continuation, trust, understanding,
 of empathy and telepathy are part of natural survival,
 a shared  force of life, a common trick of the trade.
Fertility in familiarity.
Ancient echoes the need for instantaneous responses to questions unasked,

safe or dangerous?

to see what is -  a  - head !

looking for the head, the controlling ,deciding agent, the intelligence, the mind behind the face.
is it aware it is being observed? is it aware of its observers?
seem interested in interacting?
is it responsive in expression?


approval or disapproval ?

happy                        sad ?

How we look when we see.....How we see when  looking....
what kind of look was that? in the eyes of another.

The eye of the beholder is less aware of their own (facial) appearance in relation to their active  engagement with a subject, physical or imaginary.
The more expanded the dialogue becomes,
The more the discourse increases in volume,
The more exaggerated the spiritual mask ,
The more manipulated the exchange,
see  the   difference............... how animated
symbolically representing, the many true faces, with real expressions of life, individual style, opinions, tastes ,special ways of being, that change from day to day,
 the more distance is made between the genuine essence of the personal passions,
 qualities  of  vital uniqueness of breaths, of thirsts,of thoughts.

Social Spirits are similar simple story showing a predisposition for moving with masks and memory .
A container of context and continuity in changing creative culture community clairvoyance.
Group acceptance,audience behavior,participatory dynamics,mood of the moment, tide of the time.
Passing acquaintances, maybe?
Face familiar, possibly?
Crossed paths, common friends, shared interests,favorite collections, preferred memories
desired outcomes are not all achieved in the same way, at the same time.
to see eye to eye- look them in the eye
Magic  Drama is not playing pretend.
The unintended outcomes of efforts and the accidental discoveries may not be all loving and kind ones.
awareness of the feelings of others, what made them happy, the look on their face.
see it in their eyes.
Being engaged in the direct experience of presence and persona,
 is what real life and real living are about.

The real story. recognizing real person hood.

Faces as wished for, Beings and behaviors picked up through books, and other medias are mechanized reproductions fixed by convention,
 popular puppets of expectation,trapped in a role not of their making.
They lack the character of will- spirit- autonomy that I have come to see in the company of other faces,
face to face.

                                  Love, you are the gift of giving.
