As we wake up to a reality where we can embody deeper and richer states of our higher essence, we also will also experience the the field around our heart centre becoming more open and vulnerable to the external environment. As our awareness begins shifting and traveling between the mind and the heart, allowing our decisions to be made from a place of heartfelt guidance and release of creative energy, we will also become more sensitive to the suffering of our local and global ecologies. Learning how to transmute the pains of separation and growth without letting ourselves be overwhelmed by them, will come with experience - but a key to escaping the thundering waves lies in our relative ability to extend authentic compassion to our surroundings.

Compassion can be seen as a bridge between our own heart and the multifaceted heart enveloping our own. When we make the connection, we plug into the larger web of inter-being, communicating to our surroundings that we are not a threat to its stability and balance, but rather an enrichment to its wholeness. Like children, the awakened heart longs to give and to share.. This said, not everyone is willing - or able to receive, as one being’s experience of unconditional love may not resonate with another's - and the inner child will experience rejection, causing a natural contraction. Our challenge lies in keeping the heart open despite external pressure, and leaning even more determined into the fear that comes with unfolding our petals..

Engaged compassion is a path to softening the process.. Whether this means cleaning a beach, cooking nourishing food to share, holding space for a stranger in need, providing a child with the right conditions for growth, or giving a nourishing bath to a street-dog, compassion cultivates resilient valves for the heart’s own opening. Just like a camera’s aperture refers to the opening of a lens diaphragm through which light passes, the same can be said of our hearts - the wider the openness of our ethereal diaphragm, the more light we have to work with.. And the less tense you will feel in your chest and upper back..

Compassion - with passion. Passion for wholeness, but more scientifically, of latin: com- (“together”) + pati (“to suffer”); acknowledging the deep wound of suffering in another, and adding your own heart-stream to theirs in order to comfort, soothe and ease the welling up of pain and separation from Nature, from Self, from Mother, from Womb, from Source. Pass.. Pass.. Extend..

tumblr_pc5wnxbp7Z1t2p3goo1_1280.jpg

Jeg er født til å tjene. Det har tatt meg 31 somre å manifestere en væren hvor jeg kan gjøre dette aller best.. Jeg er her for å gjøre det jeg kan for å plante frø av lys og vekke dette lyset i mennesker som har glemt hvordan det var den gangen vi levde i fred, kjærlighet og harmoni. Da vår væren var en dans i hellig geometri. En tid da jordens livskraft fløt i elegante strømmer og de naturlige syklusene foldet seg uavbrutt ut ~ som kronbladene på vannliljen..

Jeg ble sendt hit for å selv å huske ~ og for så å minne dere på at dere også er trygge. Holdt av den moderlige urkraft.. At frykt og stagnasjon kun er midlertidige faser av jordens utviklingsprosess. Vi er kommet for å bli, vi er evige, for vi er ett. Vi er menneskebarna som husker. Vi er sjelsessens som eksisterer uavhengig av materien og tyngdekraftens akkumuleringer. Og når vi husker hvem vi er forvandles livet til en strålende strøm..

Jeg er her for å tjene naturen, og legge til rette for at hennes kraft får flyte fritt i mine omgivelser. Hennes behov er også mine behov. Jeg begynner med meg selv ~ renser sinnet, kroppen, hodet, språket.. Jeg blir en vandrende edens hage.. Og samtidig blir omgivelsene mine vakrere.. Vi resirkulerer og tar vare på økologien vi åndes i. Så ressurser, potensiale og energi igjen kan ledes tilbake i de naturlige syklusene.

Menneskets potensiale er stort, og vi er på vei inn i en tid hvor flere og flere vil oppleve en hel-lig oppvåkning. Å våkne opp til hva det vil si å leve i helhet. I union med naturkreftene. Når skyggene belyses, spirer de som frø og blomstrer i gledelig hyllest til solen, til lyset. Menneskets hjerte vil åpnes etterhvert som større grader av vår bevissthet trekkes mot dette magnetiske senteret i vårt vesen. Smeltes sammen i det hvite hullet av vår solar pleksus, vår nukleære kjernetilgang.. Som vil gi begrepet fornybar energi en ny betydning..

Jeg er her for å hjelpe mennesket gjennom denne overgangen. Det har tatt meg lang tid å finne ut hvordan. Jeg har latt mitt begrensede selv kanaliseres gjennom gamle strukturer og skyggeverdener. Først gjorde jeg det se sa var riktig. Så gjorde jeg det jeg følte i hjerteskjæret. Samfunnet ~ funnet sammen. Takk for at jeg nå husker så jeg kan våkne opp på nytt ~ hver dag ~ i klarhet.

Og hva skal jeg? Ett steg av gangen. Først rydde opp i alt som motvirker hverdagen å være nærvær-dagen. Individuelt, familiært, relasjonelt, ancestralt og astralt. Og så.. Dele min ro og inspirasjon, min aspirasjon og respirasjon med nærings-livet så vi kan finne oss selv og hverandre sammen..

Jeg tømmer meg selv så jeg kan romme mer. Mer ærlighet, mer kjærlighet, mer sårbarhet, mer her~likhet. Jeg er. Her. Nå. I nærvær. Og i dyp ære over å ha funnet veien hit sammen med alle dere. Vi er hverandres hellige fraktaler som kan møtes stykkevis og delt og igjen-speile en helhet vi vet har eksistert ~ og er. En følelse som vibrerer på hvert pust, i ånden, i celler og dna. Den legemgjorte sensasjonen av å høre til, i tjeneste ~ for jorden, som for himmelen.

//

I was born to serve. I has taken me 31 summers to manifest a reality from where I could do this best. I am here to plant seeds of light and ignite this light in people who have forgotten what it felt like to live in peace, love and harmony. When our existence was a dans of sacred geometry. A time when the life force of the earth flowed in elegant streams and the the natural cycles unfolded uninterrupted, like petals of a waterlily..

I was sent here to remember - and then to remind you too. That you are safe, held by the divine mother. That you are spirit, contained in temporary shells of matter. That fear and stagnation are temporary phases of the earth’s development process. You can let go of your fear of dying. We are here to stay, we are eternal, we are one. We are the humans that remember. We are soul-essence, existing independent of gravity’s accumulating principles.. And when we remember who we truly are, life is transformed to a radiant stream.

I am here to serve nature, and to facilitate for her power to flow freely through my surroundings. Her needs are my needs. I begin with myself - cleansing the soul, the mind, my body and language.. I become a wandering garden of eden.. And with this, my surroundings also become more beautiful.. We recycle, we recircle. So resources, potential and energy can be guided back into the natural cycles.

The human potential is vast, and we are rocketing into a time with accelerated awakening. An awakening of what it means to live in wholeness. In divine union with the natural forces. When light is cast on shadows, they sprout like the seeds they are, and flourish in a joyful tribute to the sun.. The human heart will open, as a greater degree of consciousness is slowly drawn to our magnetic centre.. Blended together in the white whole of our solar plexus, our nuclear source. Which will give the concept of renewable energy a whole new meaning..

I am here to guide humans through this transition. It has taken me a long time to figure out how. I have let my limited self be channeled through old structures and shadow valleys. First, I did what they said was right. Then, I did what I resonated with my own heart. Society - from socius, ‘companion’. We are all walking each other home, in friendly association. Thank you for helping me remember so that I can be reborn in clarity, each day.

And where am I going? One step at a time. To begin with, clear out everything that prevents me from living in pure presence. Clear out the blockages in my individual self and wider circles - family, relations, ancestry and astrally. And then.. Share of this inner peace and inspiration, my aspiration and respiration. So we can find ourselves and each other - in companion and comm-union.

The more I empty myself, the more I can contain. More authenticity, love, vulnerability.. I am. Here. Now. In presence. In a deep honour and awe of having found the way here with all of you. We are each others sacred fractals, seen but in a dim reflection as in a mirror, face to face.. Mirroring a wholly sensation vibration resting on each breath, in our cells and dna.. The embodied sensation of belonging, in service - for earth, as for heaven.

Winter brings slowness and purity.. Snowflake fractals and glimmering sunbeams touching the frosted ground.. The sun has turned, and the light of our inner sun is also growing - and glowing.. The light of our inner fire.. Be sure to nurture this fire with sacred fuel.. Fuel for mind, fuel for body.. You are allowed to rest, to slow down.. Tune into the stillness Mother Nature wraps around us in these months... Each moment is an opportunity for taking a deep breath, closing your eyes, listening to the ripples on your inner lake..

Meditation ~ the gracious art of tuning our brainwaves from beta to alpha and theta states so we can influence and reprogram the autonomic nervous system and create a deep-rooted heart-mind coherence.. Enhancing the energetic/pranic magnetic field of our individual and collective bodies and turn our beings into regenerative bio-ecologies, transforming the very foundations of our magically mystical human experience.

In meditation, we surrendering to the breath as our ultimate teacher, caressing the shadows and blockages we need to shed light on for my frequency to rise - and prolong this state into my continuous stream of movement.. In meditation, we let our breath flow unobstructed, allowing us to activate the pineal gland so we can move beyond the space-time continuum and into the time-space (quantum) reality ~ the eternal heart of the present moment.

Meditation can open us to a profound sensitivity to the elements and natural forces.. When our sensitivity deepens, a silence descends on our being, where we become increasingly at-tuned and at-one-d to the elements.. Understanding which vibrations weave us further into the fabric of existence, and which separate us from experiencing unity.. Tan~Tra.. Creating fluid boundaries around our inner snowflake-crystal-essence, keeping it clean and pristine.. Asking - how can I clean honour temple that is both me and my wider circles, and how can I be of service to the ultimate healing force? How can I make sure each cell in my organism feels nurtured, seen and of value to the larger whole…? Trusting that surrender will bring about the shift between breathing and 'being breathed' - towards greater wholeness and unity..

Meditation allows me to cultivate the feminine, water-like yin-aspects of my self - intuition, self-love, compassion, subtle sensations.. An-ever growing a(re)spiration to live in freedom, from the comfort and conditions of the outer world - freedom to live from my inner queendom - nurtured by light and love.. Ever enhancing and empowering my inner sustainability..

What is the state of your inner lake, your inner eye of water? Meditation is the most natural and innovative medicine we can apply to our lives to explore this source.. If you are new to meditation and want to learn, get in touch for a private session with mantra and sound.. I teach by donation.. Another pathway and challenge is to participate in a 11-day silent vipassana (insight) meditation course.. Find your closest centre here ~ https://www.dhamma.org/en/

11.11 ~ A Voyage to the Golden Age

tumblr_pkka5gLdpZ1v1kwnz_500.jpg

As my eyes closed, the lid of the sarcophagus was drawn across my field of vision, and a darkness descended.. A darkness of fullness, vitality and ancient memory. A darkness in which all questions were answered before they were asked, and where movement and rest were the keys to illuminate the hidden patterns in the deep, black fabric. Movement and rest - intention and intuition.

Creating the alchemical container with intention, expanding it with intuition and filling it with awareness.. Not a sound was heard in the stillness, and at the same time, it contained all possible vibrations and expressions. Opening my eyes in the dark, I found myself on the other side of the mirror of the very soul that contains me.. Drifting in this vessel, dissolved in the vastness of the expanding universe. Immersed in insights of the highest order, alchemical equations and sacred geometry aligning in and around my mind, dancing and turning, boiling and churning. Learning by direct experience of unfolding elemental processes. 

Asking - as always - to know my true Self. Who am I, and why have I been sent to this planet, at this time - in this way? And then - a powerful flash of light - erupting like a molten core of lava - golden visuals begin appearing around me. Whirling me backwards, as if unwinding a cassette, through my life, through the womb, across the bridge of antahkarana, into the realms of the soul, through hundreds of lifetimes, eras of darkness and destruction, eras of great technology and cooperation - back through ice, bronze and stone, dinosaurs and atlanteans, hyperboreans, oracles and sacred marriages - tens of thousands of years back - through bodies and layers - and into a pure monadic union - into the first exhale - where I see myself as One entity, making up all constellations and creative principles..

I AM the dance of the glowing zodiac.. Aquarius on my right, Gemini on my left.. The Sun in my centre. I AM THAT. A spark of creation, flying into the night skies and returning to the fire. Understanding the way of the yugas, the cycles and movements of the planets and earth around the sun and the suns of the suns of the suns.. From life of mind to life of matter, through kingdoms of matter to kingdoms of mind. Crying, because I know now that I belong.. I know now that I am both everything and nothing. That my deep wound of separation will be healed when I align with the divine flow of source. Crying because I remember.. How could I ever forget.. We come into this world as unique reservoirs of this energy, containing all answers and remedies.. And yet, we forget.. We are channeled into already existing systems of governance, which, due to Planet Earth’s current alignment, feel more constraining than liberating.. Most of us forget who we are, and are deprived of the space to re-a-light. 

I ask about this lifetime.. I ask to remember.. And I am told that the Earth is currently undergoing a unique transformation - a great putrefaction, a great purge, preparing again to blossom from darkness into light. Like the flower bursting through the surface of the soil, stretching towards the Sun, and being born anew into the world, the Earth is also going through a great birth - we can feel her deep contractions to the core. And with this, a new form of ‘human’ will open their eyes in the world.. 

The Children of Light are slowly waking up.. into our human consciousness and vessels.. Yawning at the bright lights of the dawning morning, they are souls who’s memories of Satya Yuga, the Golden Age, are still intact and glowing, imprinted under their skin.. The star seed children, whose translucent wings are visible to the few, sparkling with amethyst, ruby and flourite. They hold a deep wisdom of the interplay of the elements - Earth, Water, Air, Wind, Fire, and Ether - and their innate qualities and potential.. They have a deep respect for energy, for life force, for the breath of creation - and will do whatever it takes to lay down the pathways for her to travel with sanctity and grace. And they are not afraid of speaking up, showing the world compassion and love.

We know who were are, and we are here to stay. We are standing upon a great threshold - and it is of highest-most importance that we unite so that balance can again rain upon Her lands and waters. Everything is upside down. When the children remember, the grownups are safe. We will take care of you, and hold your hands as you let go of the temporal sensations of fear, shame and separation that are eating at your insides. You can let go now. We will guide you through the portal of death and keep you safe as you embrace your eternal self..

Our message is love - and it cannot be diluted, because we have been on this Earth before - and we know. Our message is peace - and we will create the space needed for salvation to flow through us - because we remember. We know who we are, we know how to take responsibility for our own waters, and how to weave a web where every string resonates with the white light of truth and justice.. We remember how to use the stars to navigate our common voyage through the inner and outer universe. We hold the heirloom seeds of cosmic memory. The keys to the dharmic library. And you can rest now, rest in natural peace, because we will teach your children what we know. 

Your only task is to trust us. Guide us the best you can. Take care of us so we can speak our truth. We have something to say. Let us say it.

Vi er det vi er. Vi ble sendt hit for å ære nærværet. 

Vi vet hvem vi er og vi er kommet for å bli

Fra en tid da alt var opprettholdt av hellig geometri 

Alt snur, polene skifter - og vi er på vei inn i en ny tidsalder. 

Frykt og stagnasjon eksisterer kun i midlertidige faser av jordens utviklingsprosess.

Alt er opp-ned. De voksne er trygge nå. 

Vi svever over emosjonenes hav så vi kan se klart og helt, ikke stykkevis og delt. 

Vi er ametystbarna fra solens rike. 

Vi er de voksne som husker.

~ Carving out the Closeness ~

One of these magically mystical moments - when time stops and wraps itself around you like a thick woollen Himalayan blanket.. Parked on the docks of Hirtshals, waiting for the ferry.. With the wind howling around me, peacefully resting in a moving home and temple.. A candle is all that is needed to delve deeper into the present moment.. Creating a wider space around my core - for contemplation and stillness - between the unfolding chapters of the Book of Life.. The white frost is dancing on my breath, but my body is warm - and my heart is burning.. Oh so satisfied with steaming tea on the thermos..

In Norwegian we have a word - ’nærheten’, meaning ‘the closeness’.. Here, now - I feel this closeness seeping into every curving edge of my field - a closeness to my own being, my own story. In the closeness I can feel the subtle waves of the magnetic heart. In the closeness, I can see clearly.. Softly whirling ever above and around the noise and friction that fills our modern world.. Under, through, in between the bonds of the weary mind’s chasing, climbing, running.. Into the expanded seconds of truth.

Humans are on the verge of a breakthrough.. As if the flood gates of our collective (un)consciousness are about to burst open.. To reveal what, you may ask.. Nothing less than true unity and oneness, the sage answers.. At-one-ment. Realized and revealed by the slippery art of remembering who we are and where we came from. Between the queendom of earth and the kingdom of heaven, there is a bridge.. Arriving at the gate requires nothing less than an inhale.. The key is carved by your intention.. Are you ready to turn it?

//

Ett av disse magiske øyeblikk på reisen - når tiden faller til ro og brer seg om deg som et varmt ullteppe fra Himalaya. Parkert på Hirtshals havn, og altfor tidlig ute til fergen. Med vinden ulende rundt bilen og mørket som faller på, hviler jeg i et bevegelig hjem og tempel.. Et lys er alt som trengs for å føle dypere på det hellige øyeblikkets tilstedeværelse. Å skape plass rundt min egen kjerne - til kontemplasjon og stillhet - en eksistens som kun finnes mellom linjene i Livets Bok.. Hvit frost danser på pusten min, men kroppen er varm og trygg nå - flammene i hjertet levende.. Og jeg har rykende te på termos.

Jeg føler på ‘nærheten’.. En tilstand som flyter inn i feltet mitt som gyllen dis, nærmere meg selv og min historie.. I nærheten kan jeg føle de subtile bølgende av det evig bankende, magnetiske hjertet. I nærheten kan jeg se klart. Mykt og rolig virvler jeg stadig lenger over og rundt støyen og friksjonen som fyller en moderne hverdag. Under, gjennom sinnets jagende, klatrende, løpende bånd.. Inn i sannhetens utvidede sekunder..

Menneskene er på randen av et gjennombrudd.. Som om demningen som utgjør vår kollektive (u)bevissthet er i ferd med å briste.. Og slippe gjennom hva, spør du kanskje.. Intet mindre enn en innlysende opplyst Enhet, svarer den seende. Åpenbart og manifestert av kunsten å huske hvem vi er og hvor vi kommer fra. Mellom jorden og himmelens rike hviler en bro.. Portalen kommer til syne i rommet mellom innpust og utpust.. Nøkkelen holder du selv, og formes av intensjonens kraft.. Er du klar for å vri den om i låsen?

Woman, Rise Rooted - A Transition to Inner Sustainability

562448_469893039745923_90974686_n.jpg

Sitting in Boudhanath, watching the sun shed says of rose gold light on the temple.. For some magical reason, I keep returning to this place.. Last year, this time, I made the decision to transition out of the job at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.. Which meant leaving Nepal one year early.. I am now heading back to Norway, and the road is open.. Led by a deep curiosity of what it truly means to be a human living in the heart, having the freedom and space to be immersed in Nature.. Softening the edges of my life, exploring wild femininity, align to the intuitive rhythm of my being, walking the ancient paths of my land..

I have spent seven years studying peacebuilding, conflict resolution, sustainable development and humanitarian emergencies, driven by a search for meaning and the chance to improve the health of the very systems that fuel the violence and suffering. For what is true peace? What is medicine? Is there a universal remedy? And who was my last ancestor living from a whole heart? Parallel to the traditional academic realms, the search brought me from ecopsychology, rewilding and systems design to eastern mysticism, tantra and medicine traditions. To the yogic scriptures and practices, ayurveda and meditation, the wisdom of direct experience. During my two years in Nepal, I have also been blessed with the time and solitude to truly embody the questions, to feel them carve out space and integrate with my own body and mind.

Joanna Macy writes - “The transition to biosphere consciousness has already begun. All over the world, a younger generation is beginning to realize that one’s daily consumption of energy and other resources ultimately affects the lives of every other human being and every other creature that inhabits the Earth.”  In the end, the only way I can justify my own existence is to fall so deeply in love with the Earth that I possibly can, and at the same time - falling in love with myself -  for there is no separation. When I breathe life into my being, Her being is also ignited. Could it be that very idea of ‘human’ is undergoing a profound upgrade, which will provide a newly charged fuel to our economy and co-existence?

Since I was a child, I have prayed to the Sacred Feminine for guidance, asking to be shown how I can use my energy to serve the whole. Slowly, she began pulling my layers back.. Whispering - …remember.. My sensitivity heightened, and my awareness began to expand and contract with greater force.. I began listening to the silence.. Which turned out to be louder than I could even have imagined..  She told me to shed what didn’t resonate with my spirit, what didn’t feel natural. And when I didn’t listen, She would raise her voice.. I was craving to be in water, in the ocean.. What would it feel like to slip out of the skin of conditioning and cover my body in Nature’s emerald robe?

Too curious to leave the question unanswered, I began letting go.. In meditation, I could see the fabric of my life more clearly, as well as the seemingly invisible hand of the weaver who was in charge of creating the patterns.. Taking shape with each breath and movement of my intentions.. There is a difference between ‘receiving an imprint from existence and imprinting your intent on the universe.’ Becoming conscious of your existence, your energy and nature requires great introspection. When we strip down all the notions of Self and identity we have constructed around our being, we are left in a naked state, where the only thing that matters is our relative position to our surroundings - our connection to nature, and our ability to navigate it.  Only when we are able to go inwards, we will be able to create intentions that resonate with our true nature.

The continuous answering to ‘what would nature do?’ finally led me home. To the northern seascapes, to wild honeysuckle, sand and pine.. Fresh water, roseroot and bare feet. To the garden where my mother's hands were tending to the roses on the day of my birth. To simplicity. To live responsibly within a community, nurturing and preserving its rich diversity, while not exceeding the limits of its self-renewing capacities. Seeing success as to what extent my life’s work will bring me closer to Nature. Preparing to become an elder of my tribe. Cultivating the arts - and changing nature of diplomacy, which I now perceive as a conversation across the fertile, thriving and flowing edges of existence itself.

In its broadest sense, any form of peacemaking begins with a deep respect for energy, the substance that fuels our progress. Resolving any tension in the flow of energy by bringing the conflicting currents to the surface, shedding light on the root causes of stagnant suffering, and engaging in practices such as creative problem-solving, nonviolent communication, and deep listening - so that the vital energy can fuel the optimal functioning of the system in which it flows. With a vision to help co-create ecosystems where there is a healthy balance between information and transformation, and all resources are equally vital to the cycle.

We come into this world as pure and unique reservoirs of energy, and are slowly channeled into the mainstream frameworks. Most of us forget who we are in the process. Through inner and outer sustainability practices, like meditation and spending time in nature, you begin recognising the protective layers you have constructed around your own soul-seed from the time of birth.

The next generation of environmental peacebuilders are not only here to protect the environment, we are here to create a world where the environment doesn't need protection. Coming from a biosphere consciousness mindset, understanding that it is our responsibility to untangle the energetic knots we have created in our global systems. Finding new ways to re-route the currents that allow for the deterioration of our ecologies, destruction of life – blocking life force. For this to happen, we have to become guardians in the places we live – rising from the roots - because ultimately - what we do to Nature, we do to ourselves.

This year, our planet reached its carrying capacity. My patience is also reached. I am answering a calling from the depths of my inner and outer waters. No fearing the past, no placing expectations on the future. Curious about what will unfold when a divine feminine rises from her roots. Carving out a paradise of her own. Resting in the present moment, infused with love, and open to receive.

Trust And You Shall Receive

36771299_10156972180095656_1258263145273622528_n.jpg

Life.. Magical, mysterious, beautiful river of life.. Again and again it will be repeated - trust and you shall receive.. Closing my eyes in meditation, I am immersed in crystalline lakes of subtle vibrations.. Safe, held, floating in soothing waves, visible to the naked eye of innocent surrender. Aligned to the presence, I open to my fullest potential, in continuous expansion from Source.  Choosing to live in, from, for ~ the chapel of the heart. When the chambers break open, the shackles in which we entwined and entangle our truest and highest self are released. The glass cages of separation bursts into thousand-fold fragments, dissolving as feathers in the open air.. Every inhale a prayer, every exhale a sacrament. Each step the first - and the last. Give me truth, mercy, love. When I commit to transform my guiding force from the head to the heart, this I become ‘we’. We are. We move. Breathe with us. Share with us, unfold with us, heal with us. Like sages of the past, remembering what it feels like to be whole ~ a sovereign expression of the creative feminine principle. Eyes open, a new dawn descends.. Deep, deep gratitude to the human experience.. Un-bound. De-tangled. Un-veiled. Re-membered. Up-lifted. Whole... 

//

Livet.. Magiske, mystiske, vakre livets elv.. Igjen skal det sies - ha tillit og det vil vise seg, åpne seg.. Lukker øynene i meditasjon og løses opp i krystallinnsjøenes subtile vibrasjoner.. Trygg, holdt, flytende - i bølger synlige til det nakne øyet av uskyldig hengivenhet.. Justert til øyeblikkets enhet, åpnes jeg til mitt fulleste potensiale, en evigvarende ekspansjon fra kilden selv.. Valget å leve it, fra, for - hjertets kapeller.. Når kamrene åpnes, brytes også båndene vi binder oss selv og hverandre med - og vårt høyeste selv slippes fri.. Separasjonens glassvegger brister, i tusenvis av fragmenter som sveves utover som fjær i sakte film.. Hvert innpust blir en bønn, hvert utpust en manifestasjon av uendelighet.. Hver skritt det første - og det siste. Når den indre ledestjernen igjen lyser opp i hjertet, blir jeg-et et vi. Vi er. Vi beveges. Vi ekspanderes. Vi elsker. Pust med oss. Gi oss sannhet. Nåde. Kjærlighet. Hel oss i brede omfavnelser. Som livets vandrere har gjort i årtusener, føler jeg igjen hva det vil si å  _hel_, et suverent uttrykk av det kreative feminine prinsipp.. Øynene åpnes, en ny dag gryr.. Igjen stråler en dyp takknemlighet til den menneskelige erfaring.. Oppløftet. Åpen. Takk..

~ The Rise of the Eco-Warriors ~

The next generation of environmental changemakers are not only here to protect the environment, we are here to create a world where the environment doesn't need protection. To re-route the currents that allow for the deterioration of our ecologies to occur. Here to change the minds and hearts of the people so that every single decision will be taken with the needs of Nature at the core.

Here to reconnect people to their inner and outer nature so that humanity again will embody the interconnectedness and sensation of Oneness. Inspire lifestyles that evolve in accordance with nature, moving from that which produces waste to that which creates thriving, living ecologies - with the values of community, love and nonviolence at the centre..

Understanding that it is our responsibility to untangle the energetic knots we have created in our global systems. Teaching generations above and below how humans can function as mediators and meditators, smoothers and amplifiers, for Her needs - because ultimately, what we do to Nature, we do to ourselves. That peace, this sacred equilibrium, is so much more than the absence of violence.

Knowing - that we have the potential to change these systems within our current lifetime - if we dare to look beyond our perceived horizons. That the solution lies in the simple choices we make every day - choosing the world we want to live in, choosing what we want to include in our economic household. Everything we need is already here, it is just a matter of channeling the abundance in an ever-progressive energy efficient manner.

Processing imagination. Embodying inspiration. And pausing - to breathe, to feel and improve on the design. We have something to say, let us say it. In this day and age, creating a more beautiful world should no longer be felt as a struggle and a fight, but an energetic dance of creation - letting your self be moved with Her currents, letting Her love conquer your mind.

Now, go out in the day, close your eyes, connect to the organic sources of growth and make some sustainable strokes on your samsaric canvas..
