Re: What Woke You?
I've been thinking about how to reply to this thread for a couple of days while my sister has been staying - two days of not talking Avalon and a lot of sadness that I couldn't talk Avalon.
To the ones who came in awake - WOW!
It's been a gradual process for me from knowing things I 'shouldn't' have known from 8 onwards.
Rejecting the C of E of my childhood during my adolescence because the divine feminine wasn't present
Hearing an inner voice from 16 onwards (it began by telling me which horse was going to win the Derby and afterwards gave me directions at major turnings points. Some years i still get the Derby winner))
a series of very 'karmic' relationships (Libra is both my sun sign and 7th house)
waiting from 16 to 33 to discover that the Goddess tradition existed and has existed for a very long time. the divine is immanent as well as transcendent.
the vision I had in 1987 the night my father died of his life from an energetic perspective and the Christos Experiment - method of recalling a past klife and death - which convinced me that death is a transition not an end
1988 Breakthrough Centre, the foundation of the wonderful network of friends I feel hugely blessed by
1989 Findhorn Foundation Experience week - a MAJOR lesson in the interconnectedness of all beings delivered in part by my late father
the home birth/water birth of my son and watching an "old soul' remember how to be here. Gibran "Your children are not your children"
a psychic reading in 1993: this is the life when I bring the political (revolutionary) and the spiritual together. moving to Scotland.
9/11 driving through Lockerbie at the time the first tower was hit and first thought/intuition "This was done by people who do not know it is one world"
(NOT in the NWO sense, rather in the interconnected sense)
more recently going through 'ascension symptoms' then reading Karen Bishop, Celia Fenn and Aluna Joy and finding what I was experiencing was as much collective as personal. "I'm not crazy/losing it"
Thence to Divine Cosmos and Camelot and Avalon, where the political and the spiritual really do overlap.
as to what's next? FOLLOW MY HEART and combine compassion community and creativity.
thanks for the opportunity to write this and review my life so far. it's been a good antidote to the materialism of my sister and her evident worry that (by comparison) I have so little and have not yet learned to make a living out of what I'm good at and love doing (art writing and organising group art exhibitions)
love to all
