August 16, 2008, Full Moon in Aquarius
At ease and simple
A way to live more fully
Present and aware
It has been a wild ride this summer, forcing
us all to get simple and stay present with the moment. The Full Moon in
Aquarius is reminding us of the sacred journey we are making to unity
consciousness and that there is a purpose to the chaos in the world. The
transcendent point is when we are mindful of the connection of everyone
and everything in the sacred circle of life and that what happens to one
happens to all. The eclipse, as well, calls us to see the larger vision
of oneness and rise above the throws of labor present now that are birthing
us into this new state of awareness.
Focus on doing your part to clear away the remnants of the old, creating space for the new way of being in unity consciousness to be born in you. That is our main purpose at this amazing time that we are in.
Eclipsing old stuff
On the inside and outside
Make way for the new

Pathway to the Stars: Entering the Circle of the Soul
Mystery School takes us on a journey to higher consciousness and the embodiment of the divine energy that we are. A prerequisite to using the laws of the universe, such as the Law of Attraction, in a conscious and deliberate way, is to be in alignment with your Higher Self or Soul. Manifestation from a lower level of consciousness usually brings us more lessons on mastering ourselves rather than the result that we desire. This course helps you to master each level of consciousness so that you may become a more conscious creator in your life.
This Mystery School course consists of five lessons. Each lesson includes written material with illustrations for study, a lecture, meditation exercises, homework that is emailed to Heron, and discussions questions for the discussion board.
Everyone taking the course has access to the Discussion Group so opportunity is available to connect with others who are studying the same Material. You may work through the lessons at your own pace.
Lesson 1 - Circles of Consciousness
Lesson 2 - Mastering the Circle of the Mind
Lesson 3 - Mastering the Circle of the Heart
Lesson 4 - Mastering the Circle of the Soul
Lesson 5 - Living from Awareness
Stalking awareness
Is like looking for water
While swimming in it
Reminders of Oneness - Look around you and find what it is that
reminds you of the amazing web that connects us all. What do you find?
Perhaps there are stories, inspirational readings, a tree outside your
window, your garden, your dog or cat, the fawn beside the road? Begin
a oneness altar or book on this Full Moon that you can continue to add
to. Look at it each morning and evening. The morning look will be to remind
you of the power you have to change the world. The evening look will be
to assess your choices that day to see if they are consistent with how
you wish the word to be for all of us. It is time to walk our talk and
live what we wish to see in the world.
Walking your
talking
Creates harmony within
And beauty outside
The One Heart - Get into a comfortable
position and take a few deep breaths to relax. Breathe a root down deep
within the Earth and then branches and leaves up through the top of your
head into the Sky and Stars. Allow yourself to drop into your Heart, feeling
its beating and rhythm. In this space within you, in this continuous beating,
the pulse of the Universe resides. There is no time or space here as all
time and space are one. The frequency that arises is the sound of a billion
hearts beating, of butterfly wings and flowers growing, of the trees swaying
in the wind and the raindrops falling on a pond. It is all there, all
time, all space and all experience. The inner-net of the soul connects
you through this heart to all that is, was, and will ever be. No separation,
only connection and love reside here. Remain in this space and explore
your oneness with all things for as long as you like and when you are
ready, you can return to your body, to the present that is still the whole.
Live in the One
Heart
That is deep within us all

We, the People...
Acting locally and thinking globally takes on a new meaning when we view
it from the level of unity consciousnesses. Global becomes the awareness
that our connections with each other around the world and with the Earth
and all her inhabitants operate whether we are conscious of them or not.
The evidence that we have of this comes from all levels of our lives.
We cannot exploit, blow up, or dump our waste in other areas around the
world without having it affect our own air, water, economy, and karma.
The local part comes from the awareness that our individual choices in
each moment affect the whole. We no longer have the luxury of taking care
of our own and letting the others waste away, of blessing our own armed
forces and letting the others be maimed and killed.
The greater awareness now
by consumers and businesses alike about the need for green technology
and sustainable solutions shows me that we are on the verge of an amazing
r-evolution. Yes, there are still those that don't get it on the spiritual
level, but even they are seeing the financial wisdom of green and sustainable.
The rising gas prices have led many to take a good look at the way in
which we are living and question why we are so hooked into the materialism
that keeps us working long hours and being stressed over finances to have
more and bigger things. Many that I talk to really just want to be able
to have the time to enjoy what they have, to spend time with friends,
and to get out in nature. The impact on awareness and motivation to change
is well worth the individual hardship that high gas prices may cause.
So we need to be aware of our connections to all things and beings and, at the same time, make choices that honor that awareness as we move through our own lives. Power to change the world resides within each of us in the ability to make choices with awareness in this moment. Create whatever reminders you need to hold that awareness as you go throughout the day. Perhaps we need to write a Declaration of Interdependence that might go something like this:
We, the People of Earth, acknowledge our interdependence
and oneness with all things - all people, animals, plants, minerals, water,
air, fire, earth and stars. We choose to live our lives in a conscious
way that honors all of life and make choices in each moment that support
the whole. We will use only what we need and share what we have, for we
know that what happens to others that live on this planet with us will
happen to us. In fact, we know in our hearts that there is no "other"
- we are One People, One Earth, and One Heart.
One Heart beats
within
Your heart and mine are the same
Only minds differ
