The power, presence, mystery and wisdom of the Shaman has maintained, protected and healed us in our journey through time.
They are more than what we see, know and can imagine, these messengers of God and the gods.

"All things prepare you for something else."
~ Monday, December 29, 2008 . 5:29 am

Gabbing on:

"Every thought leads you to something else.
Every action leads you to something else.
Every pain leads you to something else.
Every joy leads you to something else.
Every dream leads you to something else.
Every friend leads you to something else.
Every enemy leads you to something else.
Every kind word leads you to something else.
Every injustice leads you to something else.
Every failure leads you to something else.
Every hope leads you to something else.

Essentially everything about us is connected to something else and so are we connected to all things and one with everything, whether we are aware of it or not.

Celebrate your value and meaning to all things.

There is so much more to each of us beyond
the 'face' we wear.
Revealed her are some of the elements beyond
the face of personality and ego:

mystery, anger, pain, presence, power, strength,
fear, dignity?

What do you see???
What do we generally hide behind our daily masks???

"In my essence you will find things unseen
Things I have always been
Since time has come about
I have defined mystery, men and life
In my various personnas
You have loved me, worshiped me and died for me."

- excerpt from the poem "Queen.Warrior.Goddess"

Your goal in this lifetime?

Let them know you 'as you are'
Not as they wish you to be
Not as they expect you to be
Not as they hope you to be
Not as they imagine you to be

But as you authentically are.

In between the world of man’s thoughts, desires and divinity is a dimension where you will find an unheralded group of angels that are accountable for management of the repressed deeds of man.

They assist him in dealing with that which he is not yet capable of acknowledging and attempts to inadvertently destroy in the hopes of obtaining a divine and enlightened humanity.

These angels’ appear in their scarred and distorted forms which has been shaped by their sacred dimensional work with the unconscious primal energies generated by man.

Sheridon

What are our true colours?

They are never what we think they are and
They are certainly never what we hope them to be.
