Is God Only Love? Pt. 2

Part 2

So when someone says “God is love or God is not love or God is something else,” the very word “God”  or “Goddess” or “Spirit” is encumbered by not knowing — and by the profound need for connection — that there is a great deal of projection, like the child who has never been loved or nurtured grasps for that needed unknown and imagined parent.  

What you call God, we prefer to call Creation (we include in this all that is beyond physical form, beyond time and space.)  We use this word because it differentiates from personality, from the idea that there is a human face of God; the human face of God is in the face of every single human being who has ever been born.  Where you find the worm face of God is in every worm that ever lived.  And where you find the star-light face of God is in every star that has ever been born or burned out.  Everything is the face of God.  And every non-thing is the face of God.  

And so, we use “Creation,” because as we have said, in using words (which are so unclear) the ultimate quality of what you think of as God is that of being creative.  In order to be creative you have to love, because there is nothing, there is no creative impulse, without a much deeper impulse that you would call love.  

We don’t use the word God, because it is such a projection-filled word for human beings.  It carries so much pain, disappointment, so much illusion, so much imagining, so much need.  Instead we say that what you call God is the infinitely, ultimately creative, because this is true of God in action.  Creativity is love in action, and love is an action; it is not a feeling; it is a movement; it is a life-force; it is an expression.  

Love is a living, moving Truth beyond any human ability to fully explain, understand or grasp in words. And so we use “creativity” and “Creation” to speak of God, because we feel it more accurately reflects, with language, a truer understanding, a truer connection; it allows you a more open conduit to experience what is true.

My Sweet Shaman Dog: A True Shaman

My Sweet Shaman Dog: A True Shaman

A Very Happy New Year to all of you…from my Shaman and Me!

Here is a beautiful update from my friend Leslie Lightfall, who does truly awesome work with the earth.  Her original music and videos are unique and breathtaking.  I hope you enjoy!  Love, Stephanie

I promise more of my own posts very soon!

Greetings from Christchurch, New Zealand!

I am very pleased to be able to share with you the new Earth Shift Meditation video series that I’ve just uploaded to YouTube.  Feedback so far, suggests that these videos transduce catalytic vibrational frequencies that can help us all to connect our hearts more deeply to the Earth and spiritual energies, so I invite you view them in quiet surroundings, at a time when you can enter easily into a deeper, meditative space.

They tell the story of what I’ve been learning from the Earth experientially this past 9 months while living in my van on the South Island of New Zealand.   The videos are quite short. It only takes about a half an hour to view the whole series of 6.  Last year’s Earth’s Gifts video series , is now available on YouTube as well.

These are magical times for owning and expressing our creative abilities and claiming our power in all areas of our lives.  What an extraordinary opportunity we now have to join with Gaia to help co-create the New Earth!  With that in mind I have set up a blog site, EarthSong Network Share, and I would so love to have each one of you visit the site and share at least one of the magical moments you, yourself have had communing with the Earth.

I’ve been very blessed the past couple of years to have been able to spend lots of time in very pristine locations here in New Zealand, doing my EarthSong earth energy work and creating these videos.   I am tremendously grateful to all of the many physical and non-physical beings, energies and entities that have contributed to the creation of this series, so generously supporting my work in a multitude of ways.  This has truly been a multi-dimensional project!

I hope you’ll take time to enjoy the results and pass these links on to your friends.

May 2013 be outrageously wonderful, magical, delightful and heart-felt for each one of you!

Namaste,

Leslie

PS  All five of my CD albums at CDBaby.com will be available in hard copies until Jan. 20, 2013.  After that they will still be available but only as digital downloads.  The instrumental music used in the Earth Shift Meditation video series is from the album “Deep Spring“, and “Energy Is Moving” is from the “Twilight Magic” CD.  The DVDs are no longer available at Filmbaby, but should be available as digital downloads from MoPIX sometime soon.

PPS  I’m deeply grateful for the incredible help and support of all kinds that has continually come my way enabling me to do this work and share it freely with so many people.

I’m currently raising money to finance a trip to Chile and Peru in March, 2013 to do EarthSong energy work with the volcanoes there.  If you would like to be part of that adventure by donating $8, $88 or $888 to the cause you can email me or simply use the PayPal button at the bottom of the EarthSong Network News Blog.

Thank you for your generous support!

Please share this post with friends…

Hello Friends,
This season is replete with the energies of transformation. Potentials are very alive for us now.  May we each take this time to drop the seeds that need to nestle in our inner earth, to ripen and mature for their spring emergence in our hearts and lives.  May we give this gift to ourselves and to life.  May we bring ourselves to these moments, the opportunities and gateways open in front of us.  May we feel our shared community with one another with the entire Earth.   And may all the work we do bring forth blessing for this beautiful world we share.
With love, gratitude and blessing for you in my heart,
Stephanie

Pathway of Transformation

First bring yourself, with whatever tension you have, to this very moment.  Breathe it, feel it, accept it, have loving kindness and compassion for yourself in your nervousness, in your tension, in your holding.  Simply love yourself and breathe: naturally, fully, and deeply.  Feel what is there, ask if it can let go a little.  Let yourself be with you in integrity, in honesty, in love, in kindness and gentle accepting presence.  Hold yourself.  This is the path of learning, Being and doing.  It is for you to hold.

Next, leave off the small things, the petty things, leave off your past, leave off your friends, go to the core and stay only with the core that is you with you.

These are the important things: releasing the past, the familial linkages, the lineages, the bindings, the agreements.  You let go.

You can only do this work for yourself.  You cannot do it for others.  Only they can find this place of release for themselves.  They are much more likely to seek it and find it when they see, feel, and experience it in you.  So, your letting go is wholly healing.

Now, open your gates.  Open your inner sanctum of self.  You are asking to step forward into the fullness of your own soul embodied.  You are asking to be en-souled, in voice, in thought, in feeling, in body.  You are asking, in this life, to be fully present in your highest essence, in this body, in each moment.  You are asking to walk in this life fully awakened, aware, in each step finding and creating the true path of your unique essence.  You both offer yourself and invite your Self.

Prepared now, you call upon G-d, G-oddess, life force, essence, Being.  You call upon what is the IS; you call upon your G-d, ultimate essence. You invite, you ask, you call with your whole open heart for the Light of G-d to reside with you, in you, through you, to teach you, to guide you, to protect you, to hold you, to nourish you, to nurture you, to provide for you, to clear the path before you and make your steps strong and firms, to guide your thoughts, your feelings, your voice.  You invite all of this into your body, into your heart, into your life, and you surrender yourself to that Divine flow that all will become true and strong.  You ask G-d into your life fully, completely, embodied in every cell, thought, feeling, moment, and breath.

You hold loving space for yourself.

Stephanie’s gifts are many.

Receiving a session with Stephanie is a deep practice of remembrance, remembering my true self and feeling deeply at home, connected to the creative life force that is within and all around me, deeply enfolded in the Divine web of human and nonhuman Being.   Stephanie is a conduit and bridge for this experience that is a deeply embodied way of encountering Divinity.  I return to moments in the session almost daily and through this find access to an inner barometer that knows well being and interconnection.
