THE HUMAN SPIRIT

© 2015 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore newsletter January 2015

by Drusant

The human spirit has fought eternally for the right to express itself openly and freely without fear of oppression or reprisal. I now fear again for our tomorrows, for our near future of regimented control and of this new and expanded science that can influence with programmed technology the direction of our thoughts and the formation of our beliefs.

The liberation of our soul is the life-long struggle of our being; it’s the natural instinct inherited from our source. It’s what every life form yearns for as it grows through dirt toward the sun, toward the light.

I believe light is the natural and all pervasive condition in the cosmos, whether the light is emitted from our own sun or from the great central sun. Darkness is only a veil that blocks the light. Darkness is the shadow of light whether expressed in metaphor in describing thought or in physical reality.

Mystics of the ancient past all speak of growing toward the light, of becoming less confused about what is—to see reality more clearly without bias or false belief. It is our inborn right and destiny to eventually seek more light, more clarity and more truth.

We evolve our individual spirit through many centuries of expression and experience. Wisdom seems to sprout slowly through these many eons of time but wisdom brings with it the respect and reverence for the life process.

As the depth of wisdom grows, so too do our perception of the greater shades of color grow. Wisdom shows the vast differences and similarities of one object compared to another. As our wisdom grows, so too do our fascination, imagination, ethics and integrity grow. These many qualities of the human soul are the natural by-product of wisdom, understanding and maturity.

As I look at the human experience today, I feel a foreboding as if this veil of darkness may be intentionally spread over the heads of our world population by unseen hands. I must first ask the question, “Is the author of this supposed veil still the product of a divine awareness such that as the veil becomes more heavy, more obvious, then will the human spirit fight back with greater vigor against darkness?”

Or, as seems more the case, is the human spirit being romanced into yet a deeper state of slumber? Sages of the past have left many carvings in stone so that the future may be reminded of this path toward the eternal quest of enlightenment and awakening from our slumber.

There are many reminders that life does have purpose and that it really does have value. We are not just tiny drops in this soup of creation. We are indeed capable of understanding creation and of being an active participant in that creation process rather than merely the insignificant and forgotten by-product of creation.

The natural objective and purpose of our life is to gain joy, to gain pleasure and caring for all life forms. We have the capacity to ask the questions: “Do those stars out there have awareness; do they know that I am asking these questions? Is there an unseen link between them and me? Where does this feeling inside me come from when I look out at them?” We may never know the answers to these multiple and varied questions but what is so magical is that we can at least ask the questions.

Our thrust of curiosity will always carry us to newer questions and newer horizons. May those many questions always burn inside our chests; may we forever look to the stones and trees and stars and ponder the magnificent mysteries; may we forever find the source of joy buried deep within our being and may the fountain of inspiration bubble from the beat of our pulse, from our heart. May we forever make those choices between sadness and happiness; may we forever be free to choose the path of our desire. May we forever ask the questions, “Can the stars hear my thoughts and do they smile when I tell them how beautiful they are?”

We are all explorers. We are all sailors of the sea riding on these waters of deep mystery. May the winds be forever at our backs and may we find peace from turbulence and may we sail through these confusing waters toward grater clarity and solid understanding. May we come to enjoy our differences with honor and respect and may we value the path that brought us to this point of appreciation.

SHARE THE VOICE

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore newsletter Dec 2014.

by Drusant

“This one was written after I had camped out for a few days in Moab. As I kayaked down the Green River in the deep canyons, a voice came out of me telling the stone canyon walls the entire history of earth with all her wars and sorrows. It was promised that the ancient voice would return to tell the earth we are now ready to move forward into awareness.” ~~Drusant 2009

Share the voice.
The voice has been spoken after these many thousands of years.
I am the stone pillar with a voice and I ask you now to spread the word
From one pillar to the next,
From one canyon to the next and into one country into the next.

Let it be known that today
The ancient voice has been spoken.

You have stood, sentinel, all these many years,
Waiting and longing, wondering if your purpose has been forgotten.

Walking people come and go
Taking your picture not knowing who you are.
They stand beside your megaliths with empty pride and empty minds.
And yet they want your memory for their treasure map.

Your silent voice now shouts to be heard
And I am here to say you have been heard…. and recognized.

For I am in you and you are in me.

We share the common bond of silence
And the longing of those magnificent years
When all wisdom, all knowledge was shared.

When the dark days came
And your treasures were locked up inside stone pictures,
Carved by tearful hands that knew someday these marks will be remembered,
We knew, you and I, that many winters, many seasons would pass
Before it was safe to reunite again.

You stood through countless days, alone, with no one to touch you.
You could sense your distant brothers and sisters that were also carved with tearful hands
On many continents and many cultures,
And on the many islands that came and went when some were lost forever.

I could feel your fear
That I would never return to embrace your courage,
But I am here…. now.

Share the voice for now it has been spoken.
Your instincts know the language
And your vision knows our cause.

THE HEART

Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore newsletter November 2014.

by Drusant

Where is my Heart?

What misdeeds did I enlist to justify so fallow a soul as mine?

My people, my tribe, have conquered and pillaged everything they see and touch. That is the empty legacy I have inherited. As I look at all the remaining indigenous peoples, they have nothing and yet I envy them for they still have the heart that I am so lacking.

My people, my tribe have everything, everything they can see and touch. My science is now verifying the realm of the unseen, the realm of thought and soul and we will not rest until we subvert that too.

What pernicious crimes did I enjoy to leave me so cruel? I conquer, I enslave, and I destroy all that I see, all that I touch.  I despise your happiness and I hate your innocence. I can’t let you run free for I must capture your joy. I must subdivide it, dissect it, dismember it, and bury it from the light. How did I become so ugly with the stench of decay on my breath? Am I cursed or did I merit my savage attack all by my own skill? How can I repay my sorrow, my blind rage to seize your soul? I hide my face behind the makeup of my lie. I hide my shame behind the shed of my guilt.

My people, my tribe, all pretend that we are nice and noble and we all agree to keep our falsehood hidden beneath the cloak of forbidden lust. How do I repent to you my callous usage of your life, my hunger to control your mind?

I am so pathetic, so dismal, so vile, and so corrupt. In 1,000 lifetimes I can’t say I’m sorry to outweigh the pain I caused. Can I suffer enough to balance the harm I built inside your heart?

I take my sword and raise it high above my head and with all my might, plunge it deep within my heart. May my blood flow freely upon the earth to atone for what I have done. It’s not for karma, or praise, or reward that I bow my head before your altar, but it is for my transgressions against myself that I acknowledge.

A TREASURE GREATER THAN YOUR COMPREHENSION

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter September 2014

by Drusant

YOUR OWN BODY

Intelligence operates on a different frequency than your biological body. You, the being, you the awareness of being aware, are not your body. You, the being, are distinct and separate from the body. You are differentiated from this physical realm. You are more like the grounds keeper of a large estate. You do the thinking and the planning. You walk around the estate and tell yourself what needs to be worked on and what is growing nicely.

Those of you who still believe you are the body, bear with me. Some of you are still not quite sure if you are the body or not. “When the body hurts then ‘I’ hurt too, so therefore it must be me that is hurting,” is a convincing argument. That can be a bit confusing at first.

You inhabit a body, or at least that is the objective. A little later on you may come to recognize that you’ve had trouble cramming all of your being into that tiny, little container. When you drive your car and you hit a pot hole in the street, you almost feel the pain of the car. This isn’t a very good analogy, but let’s start there.

You park the car and go into the grocery store. You come back to the car and notice that a tire is low or that the car needs washing. You may be critical of the car or your eyes may smile because you really enjoy your vehicle. You may enjoy the color, the feel of it when you drive, or how the seats almost hug and support you while you are driving.

Some people are depressed in their car and others may feel regal. Whichever the case, you are the driver and it is the vehicle for your transportation. You use your vehicle to explore your physical environment. Your body vehicle can take you to places of learning that are only found in this physical environment. It is an extraordinary opportunity for gaining greater awareness and greater understanding than can be found anywhere else. It’s a matter of how willing and able you are to maintain your vehicle, your biological body.

We use our body to see and touch this physical reality. It can then become confusing to distinguish the touching with the interpretation of the touch. You are the interpreter. A movie projector projects the image on the screen but you sit behind the projector and evaluate what you see. You are not the projector; you write the script. The projector is a thing; you are the thought—those are two entirely different substances. The thought can pass through the brain and the brain can tell the body to move, but science has yet to find “you” inside the brain.

It is no different than when a voice comes from a radio. If a person can hold onto that idea, that they originate the voice but they are not the mouth or the radio, then we can ask, “Where am I that creates the voice? Where am I located? If I am not the voice but I’m the originator of the voice, then what am I looking at when I look in the mirror? It sure looks and smells like me.”

TO REIGNITE THE SPARK OF CIVILIZATION

As we can all recognize and appreciate by now, when a genuine researcher makes a new discovery in science that can change the paradigm of society, there is almost always a violent and even savage attack on the researcher. The days of the Inquisition are an example, the days of Tesla and even current times are further evidence of how strongly we humans oppose change. Academia will reject the new discoveries that a scientist may make when it challenges accepted physics. Free energy and new healing devices have been discovered by many people throughout the planet.

When those in academia speak of a soul, they can be threatened with expulsion from their job. It is slowly getting better but many fine careers have been lost at the hands of mainstream single-mindedness. Where is the spirit to explore uncharted territories?

We live in a world that still believes day-to-day life must be drudgery, that life is something to be tolerated and suffered. Some believe life is to be endured until God can call us home. Many light workers hope this is their last lifetime. Just wait until they find out that this is also paradise.

This world can be seen as a prison planet while we are under the cloak of our amnesia—of not knowing who we are, of not knowing where we came from and of not knowing our birth right as a singular being and of our sovereignty. More especially, we lack knowing our capacity as a spiritual entity and what that can encompass and how limited we have allowed ourselves to become.

Like a stubborn mule, many times our body doesn’t want to do what we are asking it to do. When we treat the mule with patience and loving kindness, as we would a child, the mule or the child will be more eager to respond to our requests.

Many humans complain about the body. It doesn’t look right or it doesn’t run like a gazelle gliding through a meadow. We look to our body with the same level of expectation as we have for ourselves, the spiritual being. We want to run ten miles with grace and poise. There is almost a conflict of wills between our own consciousness and that of our body. When the body has the flu or a cold, we are frustrated and resentful for the condition because it is inconvenient timing for all the things we want to do instead of lying in bed.

If we didn’t fight against the body, if we didn’t polarize our feelings about the body and we regarded our body as a child with its childlike wishes, I would bet the body would respond with greater pleasure to serve its master. You are the master, you are the adult and you are the captain of your ship. Your body is the subject, it’s the receiver of your command and it’s the vessel for your expression while in this domain.

Here is another example. A vibrant, young sixteen year old girl has a horse that she adores. She feeds it, brushes it with loving hands, talks to it and hugs it with her heart. She wants to train it to run the obstacle course and in time, they win blue ribbons together. They move and shift as one complete unit. The horse is proud that it has become more than just a horse; the horse and the girl can coordinate their skills together to do more than they could do separately. Together, they are more grand, more alive and more capable. So too, with you and your own body, you can come to respect each other as being separate but equal in value. You can work together for a common cause and together you can accomplish much more. When you treat your body with respect and tender feelings, your body will become more willing to stay healthy, alive and to serve you—its trainer, its coach and its captain.

Try it; get the feel of sitting inside your body as if the body is very young and of a simple intelligence and get the idea that the body is coming to accept you for who you are. It’s almost like getting introduced to a lost sister or brother. See your body as being female in nature, as being receptive, as needing gentle words of encouragement, as needing to look nice. See yourself as male in nature, as the one giving reassurance, as in protecting and providing safety and comforting council. See yourself as a boy and girl making friends on the first day of grade school as you walk home together, hand in hand, wondering if you might marry the other person someday when you grow up. See the body relaxing with your gentle voice. See the body inviting you to slide inside to cohabit together in comfort, without conflict.

If you can get that feeling, that acceptance, it will be a sensation you have never been conscious of before. You felt it before when life was full of wonder, when life was full of magic and mystery. You felt the joy of being alive, of being whole. We’ve all had those moments and we can have them again on a more consistent and intentional basis. We can grow and mature into happiness. The gift of life is to be enjoyed, separately as an individual and together as a global people. It is the promise that was made to you a long, long time ago before you were born.

A NOTE TO THE FEMALE CYCLE

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter May 2014

by Drusant

My knowledge of the female chemistry is very limited but I do know she goes through a very large and intense chemical change every month. I am most distressed that my male world has yet to acknowledge her monthly cycle with more respect and a little more gentle understanding.

The female body goes through such a complex chemistry of internal change and pressure that I can’t even imagine what that must feel like. Does it feel as if your internal organs are being squeezed and twisted? Does it feel like you are being turned inside out sometimes? I don’t believe my male body could survive such anguish, and yet because all women endure this blessing of a monthly life and death cycle, we men look away and make distasteful jokes.

I would ask that we men give her natural cycle some serious thought, space and patience. I would also ask the women of the world to not hide this beautiful and tender time from us men. We need to know and understand what has been unspoken for too many years—this elegant, but perhaps confusing flow of nature. How can we men be supportive to you when we don’t accept or understand your discomfort?

From the beginning of recorded history women have been told to be ashamed or to be dismissed from social engagement or to apologize if she shows the least degree of emotional variation. Women and men have both used several degrading slurs to describe the period.  Let’s reverse and banish this image and use a little more sophistication. Women of the world, please let us men know when you are going through your fragile time, let us know how we can support and praise your experience. This may be the time when we cook your dinners and have you relax. Put your feet up and be pampered—no excuses. You deserve it and you need it. You need to be given the accepted honor for the complex cycle that provides life for all future generations.

It will take time for us men to recognize more clearly what happens inside your bodies and it will take time for women to see more clearly that we men wish to understand you better and love you more deeply. It will take a little more time before a man does more as a woman does less while she is accepting this rest to lighten her thoughts and her body. Let’s come out of the dark ages and celebrate together this gift of life. All of life has its cycles and all of life is to be shared.

THE NEW EARTH MOTHER

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter March 2014

by Drusant

Many people have said that as of 12.21.2013 Mother Earth is waking up to the new energy patterns. I would like to reaffirm my devotion to our Great Mother but I’m seeing her as a whole new Mother and she is ready to move into action.

The new Mother seems to me to be much more vibrant and clear thinking. The older one is to be greatly honored for her endurance, patience and acceptance and for all she has given us, but the new one seems less tolerant. She seems less forgiving and she seems to be more strict as to what she will allow. She doesn’t like being violated and she won’t permit more of the atrocities that have been displayed in the past.

I like her. The older one was more like your favorite grandmother who had suffered too much abuse in her past but still loves her grandchildren. I think she wishes to move on to her next higher level of being and is happy to see this new Mother. The new Earth Mother seems younger, exotic and has a different plan. She needs the support of those that know her and she very much asks for our awareness to fuel her purpose. It’s not an easy process to bring Divinity into this dimension but with our collective heart, she will do it. That is her promise and that is her accepted mission as I am seeing it.

This Great Mother vibrates at a much higher frequency. I suspect if we listen to the whispers of nature, we will see, feel and embrace her. She grows in strength as we observe this newer expression. She resolves her purpose as we align to her vision and she grows in stature as we envision her goal.

She loves her children; all living forms whether organic or inorganic. I think she has been well prepared for this day and that our love for her provides the minerals for her resolve. As we look to the stars and say thank you, as we look to the sea and witness our birth, as we look to the sky and see destiny, she can shelter, protect and love us forever. This is the time and this is the day for our unification of spirit and of our resurrection.

TOMORROW

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter March 2014

by Drusant

What unseen words still knock to be reopened,
Like the Hall of Records, beckoning to be heard?

Like the unseen flower who loves to be noticed,
What ancient deeds and thoughts still wait to bloom again?

What would they tell us with opened verse?
What secrets and delights would they marshal for inspection?

They would speak of love.
They would speak to hold the eye single.
They would explain why we forgot our birthright and our origin
And of the heavens when we crafted this moment.

They would tell of sacred cycles,
Of the depth of repeated effort and our birth to truth;
That eternal canopy that shelters our tomorrows,
Not unlike a mother’s wing.

They would explain the atom’s spin,
Of attraction and repulsion,
And why we’re here,
So much so, like a father’s consoling word.

What drives the archeologist to dig and scratch and search?
What pushes the highest climber to distant lands?
But to know all that is, to feel and see and do.

Why?

Because we are made that way.
It’s recorded, hidden in the ancient voice.
It’s our nature to embrace all that we see
And to do all that we think.

It’s a time capsule,
Buried in our genes
To be recovered by our command, by our voice;
Not by the ancients or from the sunken caverns of a distant land.

LOVE DEFINED

© 2014 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter February 2014

by Drusant

As I would attempt to define love, I would compare it to gravity. The aspect of love extends far out beyond our global gravitational fields but we can look at gravity as that which attracts particles toward a central core.

I would compare love to affection or more precisely, the affinity of particles in space. The very fact that we can witness the bonding of molecular solids would suggest a force field that holds these particles together. The force field wouldn’t be called gravity but gravity demonstrates the principle of attraction.  This basic attraction is the pervasive and first force in the universe.

Love draws all things together. The opposite of love would be then to push away. Our innate drive to gravitate toward our own central core is that quality of love that will return us to source.

All the things that I love, all those things that I am attracted to will also be as a clue on the roadmap that will tell me more of who I truly am. I am love and you are love. All that is, is love. Love is therefore the primary force in the creation of existence. It’s the principal force behind gravity.

That which brings us joy, happiness and kindness is the mixture within the formula of life that will point us in the direction of harmony of consciousness. Love is the force of not only the visible world but also the non-physical world; the realm of thoughts and awareness.

Love is the master guardian of all motion, activity, awareness and desire. Love is the glue that holds all of existence together. Once again, love is the affinity of particles in motion.

When one feels a sense of sadness or depression, physics would say you are experiencing a time of slower particles. It’s a slowing down of consciousness; of reevaluation of what direction you may be traveling. Feeling despondent is the measure of distance you might be from your core beauty and understanding. You are then feeling farther away from love, less gravity, less connection, less affinity to the outside world.

Our present energy technology is based on reversed logic; we use explosion to create our energy rather than implosion.  Explosion is to push away and that is not how nature would advise.  The simple logic of “As above, so below” would tell the investigative scientist that nature uses attraction toward the center for its energy, not outward. Love brings everything together; it is the fuel of the universe.

The purity of what we call love is the strongest force field that there is—for which we can be grateful. Love doesn’t apologize any more than gravity would. Love is the gravity that brings us all together; it’s the attraction toward which we gravitate. It’s what holds the molecules together. It’s what holds together the playing field of what we call reality.

Without love nothing would hold together; it would be total randomness, and from a higher point of view, nothing is random. All motion is a projected vector.

If we come together to play a game, we have a certain degree of bonding, of coming together. It’s not unlike electrons spinning around each other. We have a force field of affinity that bonds us together. The bond is as strong as we allow and accept the attraction of particles, which is us, within the agreement of the game.

Love has become a pedestrian word, not unlike the word God. Love and God both have been given many definitions and qualities, but I find love and God to be little more than joy when I feel close to all that is. Joy is when I feel connected to you, the trees and the stars. It’s the grand affinity as experienced in the life process.

I give great thanks that we can all participate in this design of being alive within our own awareness. With a larger understanding of love, we can then play a much more grand game in the process of life, living and pleasure.

The plants are happy when the rain falls towards the earth, not away from it.

SUNRISE, SUNSET

© 2013 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter November 2013

by Drusant

You are the marker of my progress, the measure of my joy. You are the orb of my awareness and the motion to my soul.

Where in the heavens do you reside? Are you there in spite of me, just for me or because of me? Why are you there?

Am I entitled to your warmth or did I earn it? Does my perception entitle me or enslave me to your passage? Do you feel stress or do you ever worry? Did I ever thank you for your constancy and dependability?

Do you need me? Does it help when I see the flowers grow in your garden? Can I offer myself in service to your cycle? Do you grow in spirit as we do?

Do you have good days and bad ones? Is my smile your reward? Why are we here, do you ever wonder? Do you ever smile? What is the difference between you and me? Can you hear my thoughts?

If you can hear me, thank you for being there, thank you for summer and winter, thank you for supporting my happiness and thank you for my tomorrows. You are my special mornings and my glorious evenings. You are the height of my bliss and the space between my pride.

You are the song to my soul and the heartbeat of my cheer. You are the footsteps of my voyage and the delight of my age. You are the light of my face and the quiet of my thoughts. You are the shadow of my growth and the volume of my heaven.

You are an inspiration by day and my charm at night. You are what drives me through happiness and sorrow; you are the greatness of my vision. You cover all in the expanse of your warmth through to the sunset of my life.

You are constant and unrewarded; you are dignified but unadorned. You are the wonder of my heart; you are the jewel of my journey.

SAILING THE STARS

© 2013 - Reprinted with permission from Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter November 2013

by Drusant

The sailors of old with their masted ships would look to the sea and ask what was out there beyond their vision. Those sailors did become greater than their containment and they were pushed along in their quest by their imaginations. The sailors became greater than their accepted limits of boundaries.

We look to the moon and the stars at night although we may feel restricted by our physical form. It is our imagination that will push us to sail beyond those seas. Our soul looks beyond the stars as if we wish to venture into a new territory. The stars encourage us to navigate the many dreams of possibility. We are truly greater than that which we see and we are truly greater than the limits of this material reality.

When we are capable of stretching into the borders of the cosmos by our thoughts, then by definition, we have the capacity to exceed the telescopes or the masted sails of spacecraft. In other words, we are truly greater than we can possibly imagine and we can exceed that which we perceive.

Put your soul’s eye into the center of the revolving galaxy and tell me what you see. Put your soul into understanding and tell me what you feel.
