EMBODIED SOUL "...aware of who we most are..." Jan 12, 2020 "... ancestors breathing. " "...Those who are dead are never gone..."

 THERE IS FINALLY FIRE AGAIN
 …A MISSION FOR THIS LIFE…
BUT IT IS TOTALLY CENTERED IN BEING THE TRUTH
THAT IS TRUE FOR THIS AKASHA TAO CORE
…ORIGINAL BEING…
 WITHOUT TRYING TO SHARE & PREACH/EXPLAIN TO OTHERS….
< 
BE STILL IN/OF/AS ORIGIN’S BREATH
ALLOWING THE PURE SILENCE
 OF THE EMBODIED SOUL’S ‘WHAT IS’
TO CREATE THE PATH AND EXPERIENCES…
…as AA Promises say:

“…we will know a new freedom…

…we will INTUITIVELY
know how to handle situations which used to baffle us…”*

​* By "embodiment" I mean the act of descent which the soul chooses again and again over the course of a lifetime and the process by which we, as spiritual beings, come to dwell more and more fully as our unique selves in our flesh, bones, and blood on planet earth.

It is becoming clear that spirit resides as much in these choices of embodiment as in those of transcendence,
and that, in fact,
the two are complementary aspects of the process of Soul-realization, taking the meaning of "realization" in both its senses -
becoming aware of who we most are
and making that soul real
through resonant and consistent attitudes
and behaviors
in the world.

Each one of us is called
to become that great song
that comes out of the silence,
and the more we let ourselves down
into that great silence
the more we become capable
​of singing that great song.

​Breath 
by Birago Diop - Senegalese poet

Listen to things more often than to beings.
Hear the voice of the fire, hear the voice of the water,
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush:
This is the ancestors breathing.

Those who are dead are never gone;…
The dead are not down in the earth:
They are in the trembling of the trees,
In the groaning of the woods,
In the water that runs,
​ in the water that sleeps,

They are in the hut, they are in the crowd…
Those who are dead are not ever gone;
They are in the woman’s breast,
they are in the wailing of a child,
They are in the burning log and in the moaning rock..
They are in the weeping grasses, in the forest and the home…

Listen to things more often than beings.
Hear the voice of fire, hear the voice of water.
Listen in the wind to the sighing of the bush.
This is the ancestors breathing.

When you are ripe,
you will let go of yourself
and the part of you that is fruit
will fall and be happy
and the part of you that is branch
will tremble in the wind.

AFTERNOON

This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,

Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labors to others,

Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
Have patience and indulgence toward the people,

Take off your hat to nothing known or unknown,
Or to any man or number of men,

Go freely with powerful uneducated persons,
And with the young and with the mothers of families,

Read these leaves in the open air,
Every season of every year of your life,

Re-examine all you have been told,
At school at church or in any book,

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
And your very flesh shall be a great poem,​

And have the richest fluency not only in its words,
But in the silent lines of its lips and face,

And between the lashes of your eyes,
And in every motion and joint of your body.

—Walt Whitman,
born 1819

There is something in personal love, caresses,
and the magnetic flood
of sympathy and friendship,
that does, in its way,
more good than all the medicine
in the world

Conclusion of Thomas Yeomans Keynote Address...
re:
THE EMBODIED SOUL

For eons we have projected the power of the soul onto God,
​or some such figure, and posited that our soul belonged with God and would return to God when we died.
In other words home was not here on earth, but in heaven,
or somewhere else.
Here I am saying that the soul's home is here on earth, that this is where heaven, or nirvana, is,
and that there is no other place to go but here.
Heaven is here/now,
or Hell,
as we choose,
individually and collectively.

In this orientation we are reowning, as individuals and as a species, the projection of our soul onto God and are finding the
presence of Spirit within our present existence as mature,
responsible, connected human beings.

It is the nature of our consciousness that makes the world
a heaven, or hell, and, as our consciousness expands and transforms, we experience increasingly the healing
of the split between heaven and earth and the union of all opposites without loss of any detail of existence.

Again, the central paradox of human spiritual maturity is that, as we become one with all creation, we also at the same time become completely and uniquely ourselves.

The challenge, then, is to embody our soul lives
as fully as possible here on earth.
As long as we live this projection of our soul,
which is a kind of ultimate premature transcendence,
we are disempowered spiritually,
for it allows us to maintain the split between heaven and earth,
and to stay immature in the face of
the challenges we encounter in living.

Conversely, as we reown this projection and realize the spiritual power is within us and within our daily lives,
then we realize that we are the ones
who are capable of making things better,
of realizing heaven on earth.

Again, this may all be familiar to you.
I hope so, as I feel strongly the need for this perspective on spirituality and am focusing my own work in these directions.
The planet has become small enough for us to realize that we need to learn to live here together as mature human beings,
and that we are, in fact, one great family
who share a common home.

There is no where else to go,
nothing else to do but be here now and learn to live
in ways that do not harm others, or the earth.

Clearly, we have not learned this yet,
though I am sure that we can,
and that our work can contribute to this.

We need to learn to be fully souls on earth,
to embody who we most are,
and, as we do this,
we will come to see the earth as
the sacred and most beautiful planet she is,
and has always been.

We will be at home at last, both in ourselves,
and in the wide, wide world.
