Beloveds It has been far to long since I have written. But only because so much is happening. At the same time I feel like I'm writing the same things over and over... I think that tonight I'll share a bit of my awareness so that the context of my work as an artist is clearer.

First of all it is my awareness that everything is about vibration: every thought, word, emotion, vision, sound. Everything in the known universe we are able to perceive or experience is because of the influence that its vibration has upon us.

We are a visually oriented society, greatly impacted by what images we see around us. We may easily believe lies when when juxtaposed with visuals we accept and appreciate. Without being able to discern the vibration of what is really true for us, we can be easily manipulated, easily led in a direction that may not serve our highest and greatest interest. But that which is in your highest and greatest interest is completely known to you at the cellular level. In fact there are signs within and all around you to help guide you on your way, knowable sacred tools, technologies and icons. Tapping in to that Sacred language that is communication all around you is what it's all about . But of course, it is not mainstream information because there is the fear that you would not buy anything else or behave predictably enough to project market shares, if you had the appropriate diet ( same root as the word diety) of food and knowledge to make wise choices for yourself, body, mind and spirit.

And so It is my intention to infuse the audio/visual machine with new (and in many cases ancient) images that are designed to shift our conscious awareness to a higher level of vibration. It's simply a matter of math.... vibration... TRUTH.

The evolution of consciousness is at hand. Let us be released from the lower vibrations that no longer serve us, and get on to the business of what we came here for!

Let shit go. Forgive (yourself and others). Released from the shackles of negativity, you are freer to create the world you would rather experience yourself in... soaring on the vibration of your destiny!

discipline and sacred geometry

Ok. So I have been out of communication for about a week. A lot has transpired in that time: Two major things on the planetary/mundane level… and very interesting reflections/revelations on the spiritual plane. The first, was me singing on stage (Bill Withers, benefit concert) with a band for the first time in almost ten years! The funny thing is, I didn’t even realize it had been that long until just before it was my turn to go up on stage and just after I, and the rest of the audience, had been completely blown away by a number of other stellar performances preceding mine. And though I will admit to being nervous for perhaps only the second time in my performance life, gratefully, I think I was able to pull it off. The interesting thing was the card I pulled just before leaving the house for the evening’s event. Holding the performance and all of its variables in my mind as I sifted through the cards, I turned over card number 30, presented upright: RECONCILIATION. How deep this is cannot be given justice in this small space. Nor would I bore anyone who might be reading this to go into the details here. But briefly, most of the guys on stage with me that night are guys I performed with back in the day… the day before the drama of children presented itself in my life… (did I say drama??). Anyway, reconciliation is appropriate because I got great feed back and have been invited to come back and sing in June for a 70’s funk, big band kind of thing. It’s even a paid gig! AWESOME! As my three year old would say.

Now the other thing that happened was deeper still. As I mentioned previously, I happen to have two sacred geometry decks: one for travel and one for home. On Saturday, for the first time, both were sitting next to each other on my extremely messy bureau. Wanting to seize them up before they toppled into one another, I grabbed them up simultaneously, one deck in my right hand, the other in my left. When I wrote about this before, I did not yet know the significance that the vibration of HARMONY vs. JUSTICE would hold sway over this period in my time and space. Again, briefly: this week my 10 year old son was caught lying to me, consciously and conveniently unconsciously not once, not twice but THREE TIMES! (I just want you to know this takes me to the outer limits y’all!) Suffice it to say that when it occurred this weekend we were in the harmony space with it: even designing a regimen that would assist him in becoming clear minded, more grounded and self controlled. However, when it showed up this evening for yet a third time….. well, let’s just say we had to serve up some justice on this evening; the likes of which will not soon be forgotten, I’m sure.

Pay Attention through these parts

Yesterday was Thursday February 11th. Besides the request from Light Worker friends that at 11:00 we be in prayer holding the light for the war torn area of Afghanistan, Thursdays are significant to me for several reasons. Many years ago my quest for answers brought me to the Yoruba village of Oyatunji in Beuaford South Carolina. Through divination I was given the name Ayorinde: Joy Walks In, and told that I was a child of Sango. And although it has taken me many years to truly embrace walking in Joy, it has always been clear that energy of the thunderbolt king was strongly represented in my vibration. Thursday is Sango’s day. It is my sacred day. The day I pray and light candles and pour water for the ancestors. A day to get things done for Ayorinde; music class, any business meetings, fencing class, all scheduled for Thursdays. Having this time to myself keeps me sane, truly. For the past couple years or so, I have been blessed to have my mother-in-law watch the children on Thursdays. (Thank you MamaSan. May each hair on your head be blessed a thousand fold. May the vibration of opulent beauty, love, joy and prosperity cradle you comfortingly for all of her days.)
However, due to life transition in the family, this Thursday, and in fact the past three Thursdays has been mommy-chauffeur-chef-housewife business-as-usual day. So it should have come as no surprise to me when I drew the icosahedron for my day: RECEPTIVENESS. Be still, be quiet, go inside, don’t try to make stuff happen and now that it’s Friday, I see how that vibration is showing up. I missed two appointments yesterday. The first one the person was supposed to call to get directions, but never did. The 2nd one called several times, but I was giving my middle little a bath and never heard the phone ring. I fell asleep with all my clothes on exhausted not even thinking about that meeting until I saw the message on my phone this morning. I see how I really was not in an out-flowing vibration so Spirit just worked it out for me. But the cards told me ahead of time and even though all day long I felt like I should be doing something in the midst of whatever I was doing, I really needed to shut down a bit and go inside to restore my energy.
This morning, as I went to clean up a bit in my room I picked up my two sacred geometry decks and found, by chance, the bottom card on both decks was the golden proportion, one positively aspected and the other negatively aspected. Now, there are 33 cards in each deck so the odds of both decks having that particular card facing me by chance are rare. Also it has been said that when the bottom card on the deck is showing that that card is a message to you from the Great Spirit. It is also significant that the card is the golden ratio. Whole books and secret societies have formed because of its significance in our universe. From seeds in a sunflower, the arc in the nautilus shell, the ratio from our head to our body and the earth to the surrounding planetary bodies and harmonic frequencies, the golden proportion represents mathematic divinity. So it would be real good for me to pay attention right through here. In the positive the card’s vibration about: HARMONY. In the negative: JUSTICE. When I pull a card and get the hit that I should look at both aspects being represented, it’s a call to bring about balance. In the positive, it’s telling me that the things I have set into motion are achieving a rare quality of inner harmony. It’s a card most auspiciously denoting success without limitation. Good news. However the message from Spirit is to pay attention to both aspects. In the negative, the card is telling me to pay attention to all the details rotating inn my life and that I’m at the fulcrum, how things roll out from here absolutely depends upon my ability to navigate deftly through these parts. So what’s on the line for me these days? I’m working on a multi-media production called Inner’tainment, which includes an internet TV type program, my music and writing, a voice over business called Inner Voice, Inner Wisdom workshops (which are classes designed to assist people in navigating through life’s mysteries) and, oh yeah I’m a wife and a mother of three young boys juggling dinner and laundry and one car to get us where we’re all going. (And I forgot to mention that I’m singing on Sunday Night in a tribute to Bill Withers at the evening Muse. So if you’re in town lookin’ for something cool to do on Valentine’s day, come check us out). So… I could definitely use a little divinely navigated balance through here. Keep me in the Light Y’all!

a gentle intro to Sacred Geometry

Thanks in part to a series of video clips of Will Smith and his strategies on life

(www.mixx.com/.../youtube_will_smith_wisdom_motivation_inspiration)

I've discovered, after years of resistance, that skill is created by discipline, not talent... (the latter of which, I've always had in abundance, yet couldn't see why I wasn't getting "anywhere"). And so writing this blog assists me in practicing the skill of discipline: noticing, being grateful for, creating and recording these sacred moments to model the process of manifesting spirit on earth. I am all about evolving... activating higher and deeper mind/body/spirit functionings. It's deep. It's what I incarnated onto the planet to be a part of. Not just for me, but for all of us here on the planet. I am in service to the evolutionary process showing up as me and within my community manifesting happily the highest of our destiny so mote it be. I breathe it in and give thanks. And so it is.

At the beginning of this year I pulled the square in my sacred geometry deck: Techniques for Geometric Transformation, by John Michael Greer. The square positively aspected represents the vibration of MANIFESTATION. All through out the month when I take a moment to pick a card, again and again the square turns up in my hands. It is because that’s the vibration that is walking with me now. It’s good to know. I’m excited to see how it is unfolding. Every day I have been lighting candles (in my dining area, instead of at an altar I usually use for such occasions). I notice it engenders the warm feeling of a hearth burning and seems to warm my heart a little more each time I notice them burning. (Perhaps it is that heartwarming feeling that inspired me to cut out a bunch of hearts for my three year olds preschool valentines day exchange)

I spent most of my day engaged in fruitless machinations; just runnin’ in a maze in the matrix. Near the day’s end though, I took a moment to pull some cards on what I was about to walk into. Ya see, I was takin’ off the mommy-chauffeur-chef-cleaning lady apron, and puttin’ on my leopard baseball cap, grabbin a drum, and a glass bottle of water (no plastic potentially chemical leaking bottle), and heading to band practice (Woo Hoo!) Thanks Derrick and Tony for inviting me to sing for the Bill Withers Tribute happening this Sunday Valentine’s Day at the Evening Muse at 7pm. Any way… I pulled these cards before leaving: In my right hand (masculine, doing) I pulled #4, the circle, negatively aspected, meaning moving away from the repetition of doing the same thing over and over again. This card represented something for me to know but not really the main thrust of the message seeking to come through. Both hands were in agreement (balance) as I pulled the main card#7 vessica pisces, positively aspected. This cards vibrational message to me was one of union; letting me know that the energies of success are on the table, especially in ventures involving others. It reminded me that I am not alone and that things will go well especially if I play well with others . “Openness, honesty and a readiness to give fully of what you have to offer ore strongly highlighted.”…. I’m down wid’ it! Let’s watch how this unfolds!

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Studies have been done that indicate that when people perceive that they are being watched, they behave differently. For example, when the lights are either dimmed or brightened in a workplace, productivity is recorded to increase. People respond with a degree of heightened alertness, perhaps anticipating that they may be held accountable for their behavior… someone may be watching. I thought about this blog today, as I did my laundry, realizing that thinking about being accountable to you, whoever you may be, makes me behave with more consciousness. What if God was the one watching from inside of you? How would that effect your choices?… That’s what I became aware of this morning as I lit my candles and said a little prayer, even while the baby was tugging on me, a bit needier than usual because he’s been up with a cough and stuffy nose for the past three... four...or has it actually been five nights now??? Any way, even with him tugging and calling “Maahhmeee” I lit three candles: One bringing light and love to the past, one calling forth unconditional love to the present , and really feeling it’s Presence, and one for the future - and knowing that every step is golden beneath me as I step in consciousness. I said a little prayer for the Brother Marco Rodin and the Wooten Brother who goes by the name of Futureman. DO check these guys out on youtube: It’s the real deal with regards to manifestation and how things come into form , no doubt. Both may seem a bit obscure but as the tools are revealed to and practiced by you, clarity comes to the fore.

Okay Today I noticed that after calling forth unconditional love, sending out a prayer for the aforementioned brothas and for friends and family, I let it go, to see how the day would flow. I found as I mentioned earlier that I was more attentive, following intuition, appreciating the energies of light and love each time I viewed the candles as I noticed them on the dining room table. I went to my e-mail and opened an entry from my Light Worker friends out of Massachusetts. I’ll be posting their info soon. But on the video Robert Young talks about how if we remain focused on where we’re going that things fall into place as we move towards or desired goal… move into the unknown, trusting intuition and Divine guidance, free from fear, filled with joy. That’s where I’m goin’. And as I move I feel the energy behind me, pushing me, giving me new ideas and putting people in place to assist in their fulfillment. That’s it for today. Tomorrow we’ll talk about sacred geometry.

Inner’tainment Uncovering the Mysteries….. Teaching the tools.

At my husband’s prompting and inspired by the movie Julia and Julie, I’ve decided to start writing a blog . But instead of writing about poultry and pastry, my blog is about pyramids and practice, sacred tools and technologies and how to use them to gain better insight and understanding in our everyday lives. And though anyone who has ever eaten at my house can attest, I truly love delicious and beautifully prepared food, this blog is about food for the soul.

If you have ever felt like there must be something more going on in life than what the eyes can see, this may be a blog for you. If it seems that there must be some clues to how to navigate in this world with better understanding, then you may want to stay tuned. I am about the business of evolving. For real “about it ’bout it” as they say. I am also the mother of three young boys - ages 10, 3 and 1. Until recently, I must admit to being a bit lazy, allowing myself to believe that I didn’t have enough time to really practice using the tools I have learned over the years. Truth be told, its more a matter of discipline than time. It’s funny though, whenever I would use the tools on behalf of others, for my art exhibits, or when in some sort of personal quandary or crisis, things would reveal themselves with such amazing clarity and level of manifestation, I could only just stand in amazed acknowledgement of the clear presence of Spirit.

The objective of this blog is to become more disciplined in using my sacred tools and technologies and share my discoveries in the process. It should be revealing and fun, for the next… maybe 396 days or so.

These are some of the tools and techniques for becoming more present… This first one is one that I’ve only recently discovered and without it all the others are relatively useless: and that is Commitment.

Being a hippy-peace-n-love-n-freedom kind of gal, the word commitment used to be a bad word to me. But ultimately, if I’m about the business of evolving, there’s no way around it, ya gotta practice. That’s what’s real. Even something simple like lighting a candle or two and taking a moment to hold the intention for unconditional love… little by little, making small but intentional choices, I intend to choose, notice and record the changes that occur in my life as a result. It’s an experiment. And I am the guinea pig and the alchemist. Doing my best, for the next year or so (I a year or so because I am in the process of discerning the appropriate number of days according to the new numerical information I have been exposed to : www.livevideo.com/media/tag/marco-rodin.aspx . Check it out. Deep stuff. No doubt.

Monday, February 8, 2010: Day 1

Today: I lit three candles while holding the intention of unconditional love and listened to the second of the 2 CD set of Michael Beckwith’s Life Visioning Process. That brother is the bomb. If you seeking to transform, upgrade or evolve in any area of your life I highly recommend any of his material but the Life Visioning process in particular if practiced, will truly set the ball rolling .

Okay that’s it for today. Everyday I will be sharing info using sacred tools and technologies and as the results manifest I’ll be sharing that too. So that you can know how simple it really is and what you can do to bring more innerstanding into our life.

Peace and Abundant Blessings Y’all
