Embracing the Divine Feminine

This topic came to me last night, but I was far too exhausted from dancing to write it then.  I hope I can do it justice today!  The Divine Feminine is the counterpart to the Divine Masculine. They are the Yin and Yang.  The two comprise the eternal and perfect soul.  Think of the Garden of Eden.

Inside every person, be they man or woman, dwells both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine.  One gender is dominant, but both exist.  In the world however...the world at large, there is a lack of the Divine Feminine's Power.  This is changing now.  This is changing in 2012.  Some of you are feeling it change.  Others will see the change.

Many women are awakening to their DF and are seeking ways to express themselves.  They are breaking free of old patterns like outdated ideas of Love and Relationships.  They are embarking on risky and frightening journeys.  But they are succeeding and empowering others to follow in their footsteps.  The dawning of this new explosion of powerful energy is there for the taking by both men and women.

On my journey, it has been an awakening.  I have heard the call...the battle cry or the trumpet's blare.  It started more then a year ago.  If you are someone who believes people come into your life for a reason, then PLEASE take a moment to look around at who has come into your life!  Are you forging new relationships all the time?  Are you listening to your heart as it urges you in the direction of the ones you ought to deepen? If not, you really should.  I started taking Fusion BellyDance class with my friend Holly.  At first, Holly was not my friend, but rather my step-daughter's friend.  For years, I believed that I needed to always bear in mind the boundaries between my people and her people and your people and yes we could be acquainted but in society there are rules you follow.  I am glad I do not think that way anymore!  You see these are "manmade" boundaries...developed by the pre-existing social standards.  This is Dogma (other people's belief systems).  And these things no longer apply.

Now last night, Holly was teaching us this move.  It was fairly simple (looking).  But in order to do this move correctly, you must engage the proper muscle group.  There is an action and a specific way to perform the action.  Sounds familiar, right?  Like all things in life, you get the best results when things are made carefully and with the most pure and natural ingredients.  I found myself being always "in the moment" and always feeling happy and motivated to keep working at it.  The class was ENERGIZING beyond anything I can describe.  Sometimes you just need to do something in order to really experience it.  In fact...scratch that!  You ALWAYS need to do it in order to truly get what it is or what it takes to accomplish!

Now...the feminine.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

What is it to be feminine?  It would have to do with female attributes.  Women are known for being the softer sex.  As I have said previously, the counterpoint to the male.  Male and Female are drawn together for sexual compatability.  But beyond even that, they function as opposites who offer an opposite viewpoint and an opposite energy.  Opposites attract.  The idea of being Feminine sounds like it is (by design) created to attract the Masculine.  This could very well be true!  As my Flower Sister and I participated in the class, we were given many opportunities to use our feminine energy through our eyes, head position, shoulder movements, hand-arm and finger movements, our stomachs, thighs, hips and feet!  We also worked with veils....another amazing tool for expression.

So often in my own life I feel at a total loss to express myself!  Do any of you ever struggle with that too?  If you do and you are a woman, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BellyDance.  I found myself overwhelmed with options for how to express myself...so many, and all requiring that I learn the technique..it made me realize how dull I had become.  I had let life drain the artistry from my soul and leave me dull.  Furthermore, where had my feminine spirit gone?  We women work so hard...in this world...this MAN'S WORLD...and we try to maintain that flirtatious inner feminine child (or tigress)...but balance is easily lost by the demands of the perceived realm of reality. 

Here is the best news...it is possible...to maintain that supreme Feminine Diety within and function for the people around you as well.  Sometimes it is all one, while other times it takes a balancing act to make it work.  The most important thing is that we stop living in the current perceived reality.  It is Dogma, remember?  We are living the reality that we were taught.  In my reality women can express themselves the way they did in the room last night...freely...without judgement...purely...doing it for themselves but also for the sisterhood...using their bodies, minds, energies.  And guess what they never even needed to use, not even once?     WORDS.  Hmmmm.  Interesting.

I hope I have given you a lot to think about today about the feminine and her divinity and how she dwells everywhere and in everyone.  The DF is gentle, like a breeze....fierce like a Tiger.

Be Blessed and Love Everyone,

AngelMarie

Ruminations

Hi everyone!  Welcome to The True-Love Blog written by AngelMarie...Lilac Avonlea.

Today I am ruminating.  I am also wondering if the word ruminate has roots in the name of an ancient Turkish poet named Rumi.  I mistakenly called him Remi in one of my video blogs a few weeks ago.  But since my faux pax, I have done the proper research and discovered the beautiful poetry that made him so famous.  He was a poet-philosopher (my favorite kind) and someone I believe I am a kindred spirit with.

So let us start with a definition, shall we?  I like to refer to definitions of words...sometimes the roots of words really show us a deeper meaning.  I am a word-person.  So:

Ruminate:

ru·mi·nate/ˈro͞oməˌnāt/

Verb:

Think deeply about something: "we sat ruminating on the nature of existence". (of a ruminant) Chew the cud.

Aha!  So Ruminating is thinking.  The idea of chewing cud would also suggest that we are thinking over and over about something with the intention of getting deeper understanding.  A cow will chew it's cud in an effort to assist digestion by further breaking down otherwise indigestible things.

Some of what life throws into our path can be just that- indigestible!  But we have to so-called "swallow it" anyway, right?  Have you ever had an experience like that?  Have you ever had a situation that was undesirable appear in your life and you had to just accept it?  You wanted to allow your feelings to run wild...anger, frustration, fear....but for the sake of others or your own pride, you just needed to swallow it.  This happens to every single person.  We cannot always have our way 100% of the time.

But let's go back to ruminating about ole' Rumi.  He was a philosopher-Love expert-poet.  I would love to have the courage to write about Love in the ways he has done.  I find his views beautiful and inspiring.  Rumi often refers to the love of two hearts as one...I believe he understood the Twin Flame ideal.  I think he believed in it.  I love love.  I wish more people felt the desire to embrace love.  In order to truly allow love to work in your life and in your heart, you MUST get to a place where you are able to love everyone in the way they need to be loved.

I wish to give you a very specific example.  Suppose you are in an unhappy love relationship...a marriage for example.  You will certainly find it difficult to show or feel love for the spouse who is causing you unhappy feelings.  So from there, you will have a severe blockage in your journey to loving yourself completely or to loving others.  In my way of seeing things, this further adds to problems in your life by blocking opportunities for you.  It also causes a blockage of vision that comes from real love.  Once again, this is my opinion.  But I believe strongly that with this kind of blockage, you will not have clear vision and you will make many mistakes.  Later, when that vision is clear, you will see things much easier.

See beyond phenomena and these difficult questions,
will dissolve into love within love.~Rumi♥

The mirror of the HEART has no limits.
~Rumi

Speak a new language so that the world will be a new world.
~Rumi

Never lose HOPE, my HEART, miracles dwell in the invisible. If the whole world turns against you keep your eyes on the Friend.
~Rumi

Elimination of blockages like this requires effort and hard work from the heart.  It is not enough to live a life that looks like it is complete from the outsiders eye.  For years, I have remained in a relationship (a marriage) that looked like everything was fine...from the outside.  To the outside eye, we look like the caring and balanced family.  We travel together and our children are happy and developing well.  But underneath we are not unified by love.  We love each other...enough...to get by...but that is not Real Love.  I have a deeper Love for some of my friends then I do for the man I have been married to all these years.  I know that I can love him better than this.  But I cannot love him better by staying here and growing angry at him for being the blockage in my life.  I need to let go and trust that the relationship will heal itself.

When we are in the wrong job or the wrong relationship or the wrong influence in general, there is a nagging feeling in the gut that will not cease.  The problem is that most of us interpret that as indigestion.  We go to the doctor and we get a pill.  What we ought to be doing is getting spiritual guidance and help with the soul.  The first step is to listen closely to what your Inner Self really wants...this is your True Desire.  It is perfectly normal to be afraid to pursue it.  But speaking as a person who has ignored this prompting several times now and who has created an opening by which I could change but then backed out at the last minute on more than one occassion...I KNOW what I am talking about.  Fear keeps us in the cycle and keeps us blocked from our destiny.

My friends, we are all on this journey together.  I will see you on the road...you are my brothers and my sisters.  I love you all.

Love Everyone you meet today...and Be Blessed,

AngelMarie

Love and Fear

Fear is the absence of Love.  Here is a little re-post from something I found and read this morning about love and fear.

http://timelessmiracles.com/LightGuide/love.htm

Love and fear are the only emotions we as human entities are able to express. All the others are just sub-categorical emotions. For example, on love's side there is joy, peacefulness, happiness, forgiveness, and a host of others. On the other hand, fear reflects: hate, depression, guilt, inadequacy, discontentment, prejudice, anger, attack, and so on.

Love and fear can not coexist. Where one is, the other can't be also. The one will leave immediately, should the other enter its presence. If you find yourself in a situation where you are experiencing great joy, and are suddenly overtaken by fear, the joy is gone! But it works the other way too: If you are terrorized, frightened, or otherwise threatened in any way, all you need to do is turn to the love within, and the fear disappears.


In my life, I feel fearful...it still happens.  It happened today.  This morning...while doing a routine task, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of separation from someone I love.  This upset was due to a realization that this person's choices are definitely taking them in a different direction from the one I am going in.  It seems inevitable that we will be separated.

In order to come to grips with this, I must seek my own Inner Light.  In doing this, I can restore balance to the Love and the Light I shine.  Shining, Loving and Lighting the Right path for others is my calling and so I must go about my duties...in love.

Be Blessed and Love Everyone today,

AngelMarie

Twin Flames explained by a Professional

 

Hi everyone.

 

Todays Blog is a repost of a wonderful article that came in my Inbox this afternoon.  Angeline Heart is one of the sources from which I learned about the Twin Flames and SoulMates.  I have recently been experiencing some things related to the TF and this article ...

(coincidence? I don't think so!)... simply APPEARED in today's mail.  So without further adieu...

 

Be Yourself, and Love Everyone!

TWIN FLAME PLATEAUS

Every single heart has been genetically encoded to remember at-one-ment
--- at-one-ment with God and with its Twin Flame. If you're
reading these words, it's because your soul's seal of separation
consciousness has been cracked open and the genetically encoded
message of at-one-ment has been activated. Perhaps it came as an
inner knowing, or perhaps you've made contact on some level with your
Twin Flame. Perhaps just the longing for union has brought you here.
But, for certain, you know in your heart that something is different and
nothing will ever be the same.

Once that seal is cracked, there is no turning back. Even when you

consciously and deliberately turn your attention away, you will be

inexorably drawn back toward the real.

Your longing for union may have brought interface with your Twin Flame
on some level -- maybe in the dream or etheric state, or maybe you've
even experienced a glimpse of some gradation of the union in the
physical. Now you've begun a new journey the likes of which you've never

experienced before. The initial encounter may have been

overwhelmingly passionate and ecstatic as you came in contact with

loving God in your complementary form. Yet, many describe a sense of

desperation as their initial experience wanes...sometimes to

nothingness.

"Where is my Twin? What have I done wrong? Why can't I access them
anymore?" "I know I saw my Twin in my lover's eyes, and then
suddenly the relationship was over and I feel as if my heart has been
torn violently from my chest!" "I can't even find my Twin in the dream
state any more!" "Is this relationship real, or am I just deluding myself?"
"Has my loneliness driven me to hope for a higher love to such an
extent that I just made up my experience?" "Why can't I sustain a
consistent connection with my Twin?" These types of statements and
questions have risen for each of us in one form or another. They can
jade even the most tender and true of hearts.

And so goes the growing pains, dear ones, especially when you can no
longer find refuge even in your dreams - be they nighttime or day
dreams. This paradigm shift to unity consciousness is of enormous
proportion and ego is terrified. The initial encounter with your Twin
acted as a catalyst to turn your attention back to what is real, and even
though it may have initially been perceived through the lens of ego, as
you shift to heart perception there is a re-defining of relationship. Now
you come face to face with loving YOU; the fullness of what you are; an
individual hologram of God that exists with Two streams of
consciousness, The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.

You're accustomed to ego's definition of love and its old ways of
bonding and connecting. If you feel you've lost connection with your
Twin, you may wake daily with deep sorrow and an inconsolable sense
of emptiness. It takes great effort to move your energy out of that space
because you know on some level you must investigate what keeps you
in separation consciousness. That's when all the doubts start pouring in
---"Was that real?" "Was my experience valid?" and so on.

When you hit this "plateau" (and you most likely will), know you're
being catapulted to a new space. You are simply in the neutral zone, a
place of assimilation and digestion. It is a space of integration. You
have been saturated with a new energy, and as the energy stabilizes,
you become disappointed and disillusioned that things didn't "work out".

Dear ones, this is only the projection of ego as it held an attachment to
a specific form and as it defined what this new relationship should look
like. There will be a natural ebb, flow, and flux in the evolution of this reunion.
Nothing you have experienced tribally prepares you for sovereignty.
Twin Flames are sovereign; nothing missing, a balance of the Divine
Feminine and Divine Masculine charges in their creative abilities within: a

pure connection to their true and unlimited identity as a hologram of the

Mother/Father God. These are not beings that require another to

complete them, but rather, sovereign beings who allow the reflection of

their perfection in the symbol of another. It's a totally different paradigm

of bonding. It is time to live conscious love instead of dependence.

Investigate the ego's conceptualization of bonding. Get chummy with
your demons, for they'll teach you well. If your Twin Flame
relationship (on any dimension) feels as if it has flat-lined, it's easy to
engage in fear-based thinking. But this is the time to really look at your
old paradigms and quantum leap into the real. You're moving to a
higher love and the only way you can be attracted fully to your Twin is
when you are ready to unify with God; loving the whole of God, and
loving yourself as the holographic replication of God and the symbols in
which that appears outside of yourself. The Great BOTH/AND. It takes

courage to walk into the arms of love and you must remember how much

support the universe provides once you emphatically declare your great

"YES" to love.

Even if you have the opportunity to glimpse the Twin Flame relationship
in the reflection of another incarnate, if you're not ready for this union,
you'll literally bounce to opposite poles back in the paradigm of duality
and separation consciousness. It's the great cosmic safety net that
ensures no atomic union with an unstable nuclei. This allows you "time"
(although one moment is every moment), to live out this higher form of
love with beings with whom you have a charge (soul mates). Every
single relationship is a navigational tool, for they will unfailingly reflect
yourself back to you.

Go to the knowing and let the knowing inform you. It's time to release
the context of what you thought your Twin Flame relationship should
look and feel like. Your ego's definition is far too confining. It would be
infinitely more valuable to sit with yourself in limitless potential in
consciousness. Ego has a charge on the idea that the Twin Flame
relationship with a "special" someone is the ultimate love that will
"complete" them.

Nothing could be further from the truth. We are love. We are complete.

Love simply is! It is a matter of realization. The Twin Flame relationship

is the ultimate generator of love on an atomic level.

It is not greater or lesser than the love you express to others. The very
purpose of the union is to create more love in its highest possible
frequency to express to All That Is! Placing the idea of this union on
ego's pedestal of what it's supposed to look feel like only impedes
your soul's evolution. You create the Twin Flame union from WHAT
YOU ARE.

Yes - it contains the elements of passion; the full passionate expression
of love in the ongoing ecstasy of giving, of ex-pressing, or delivering this
love. If you're not resonating with giving love, you will not experience
the passion. It doesn't look like ego's definition of passion.

With your Twin, you're merely running into yourself in wholeness --
exploring that union with yourself consciously. Through that wholeness,
your love-making increases and attunes the vibration of light (love) in
the world exponentially as an ongoing fountain of love through
emanation. It is a very conscious relationship that must exist as God
Wholeness and a Balance within so that the Two who are One can live
together in the heart womb for purposes of creating more love.

It is very non-tribal and completely non-predatory. Ego's predatory nature

is both endless and pointless, and consumes everything within its path.

Your true nature is self-generating, self-fulfilling, self-sustaining, and self-

regenerating in nature, and as the fullness of love incarnate --- you will
always be in a state of giving the fullness of the peace and love that
you ARE to All That Is. And, since all energy moves in a circle, bonding
with like energy, love returns to you amplified. You are the giver,
the gift, and the receiver. You are the lover, the love, and the beloved.

It is the 11th hour, and this is not the time to lose heart. You, who are
on the leading edge of this paradigm shift, incarnated for the very
purpose of returning this world to love through your Twin Flame heart
womb. It matters not whether your Twin is embodied or if you join in
another dimension. Some aspect of you had to be physically here in
order to anchor what is real in this dimension. This is the time to reach
for that which is real, even when your senses deny its existence. This is
the time to trust your Twin Flame heart perception and see past duality.
This is the time to surrender to the will of Love with all your might, mind,
heart and strength!

Only Love is Real!
