You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

The Artistry of Life

Posted on Jan 7th, 2007 by Erin : Simply Being Erin


 Love is existence. Drawn figures and dosey-do are only sketches. A drawing is not the reality. But love is the reality, and nothing else is. Objects of love are objects of love, but only love is the reality. ~ www.heavenletters.org


Drawn figures and dosey-do, what imagery! Love flows through us, all around us, like radio waves through the air. Our consciousness acts as the receptor for this wave of love. Because love is infinite and all encompassing our transmitter need not detect love, even our transmitter is made of love. What it must detect is our "frequency" of love. Our unique love identity. Our consciousness is a unique individuation of love (or love frequency)  that expresses itself into this world of matter through constantly projecting our love into the world. The pictures that we paint during this process create what see all around us every day. All of the events of our life portray our attempts at translating our love message into the world.

You may be wondering, if life is simply "filtered love" why does it so often look like hate? Ahhh, good question. In the process of dividing our consciousness from our Source (or generating our transmitter) we have forgotten that our consciousness is not separate from our Source. We have felt isolated in our Consciousness and have forgotten how to reconnect to our Unity. This feeling of isolation is terrifying. It is like being lost in a dark and scary forest and not even being able to remember what our house looked like. In fact, we can only remember glimpses of what our own Father looked like. Our amnesia is severe, and we react to it severely (ever notice the word severe comes form the same root word as sever, like to cut off or be sperate from. Apparently, we consider being separate to be just about the worst situation, or the most sever-e).

The events you see unfolding on the evening news every night are simply the Artists rendering of the Fear they feel from this isolation. They are striking out against others, hoping to externalize their inner agony. And perhaps, if they are bad enough, they will attract the attention of their Father who can guide them towards home. On some occassions this method seems to work . Often, we hear of dangerous criminals reforming while in prison. They often "Find God" after being arrested for their crimes. Others hit "rock bottom" and turn toward the Light for answers. Some see visions of Angels or the Holy Mother in their darkest hours.

For the rest of us, whose isolation does not cause such severe angst, our journey home is also frustrating. We paint the drama of our "hide and seek with God" as fights with our spouses, children and employers. We feel as though we were cast out of our home and this makes us frightened, bitter and resentful. The truth is that we came to Earth to have this experience of our own free will, even gratefully! We were not cast out, and we are still infinitely loved and supported by our folks back home. Part of our search for peace, must be embracing this certainty. We are never alone. We are never separate. That is impossible.

There have been some of us who remember our Unity, and they have painted beautiful pictures with their lives. Jesus Christ remembered that he was still at Home, even when he appeared to be Here. He used that knowledge to produce and direct what was possibly the greatest Human Play that has been witnessed on this Earth. He even appeared to be performing what we call miracles. In actuality he was doing no more than we are able to do. He said so himself! (John 14:12 - Truly, truly, I say to you, He who believes in me, the works that I do he shall do also; and he shall do greater works than these; because I go to my Father.) He simply understood our Unity, and the sameness of all things. He expanded his transmitter to be able to translate frequencies other than His own. He was able to translate and bring into form the frequencies for health in other people, for bringing wine into existence in the place of the water that had previously been manifested there, and so many other examples.

All of our great leaders have understood our Oneness and have possessed the ability to help us remember. (Get it....Re-Member ) They have used their ability to translate love into this world in a tangible way. They have made love visible, touchable, tasteable. They have made us believe that we are made of Love too! They have given us the initiative to search for Love. Let us now give ourselves the permission to FIND Love. It is not hard to do, it means only a change in perception. We need to fine tune our receivers so that we are able to transmit the pure love that is our Essence into this world of Art. Let us paint vibrant portraits of Love and Unity all across this sphere of reality.

Let's "tune in" to one another, and filter out anything not of Love.

Words have the power to both destroy and heal.
When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
--Buddha

Overwhelmed

Posted on Aug 2nd, 2006 by Erin : Simply Being Erin

Well, I have been a part of Zaadz for a few days now, and I am just overwhelmed by the positive energy I receive here. I am spending so much time browsing the site and reading discussion threads on the various (seemingly infinite) pods. My heart is exploding with gratitude in knowing that there are so many people across the country, and the world, who want a change. We must be reaching critical mass.

In my heart, I am aware of my ultimate "Beingness" and sometimes  I am lucky enough to identify with that part of myself. In those moments, everything makes sense. I understand that people are always perfect. Even in their acts of fear, they are perfect. I understand that I am the sole creator of my reality. I understand that there are no victims. I understand that there is no "us" and no "them." I can look on others, and myself with compassion and tenderness. It is the times between these moments of illumination that I struggle. I always "know" intellctually what the truth of the situation is, but I have trouble feeling it and living it.

I have recently made changes in the way I care for my body, hoping that looking on myself with constant love, compassion, and respect will help me to expand that vision outwardly with more consistency. I am just so glad to be here....I truly believe Zaadz is a big part of my journey home.
