A note..

                A Loving Heart is the beginning of all knowledge - Thomas Carlyle

The Path of Earth Service

Means remembering that we are the earth ~ To care for the earth as we should care for oursleves and each other. The Earth is the Mother.. continously supporting and giving of her fruit... teaching her Love and Being the harmony we so need to consciously merge into..

On Meeting Jesus for the First Time

It was in the month of June when I saw Him for the first time. He was walking in the wheat field when I passed by with my handmaidens, and He was alone.

The rhythm of His steps was different from other men’s, and the movement of His body was like naught I had seen before.

Men do not pace the earth in that manner. And even now I do not know whether He walked fast or slow.

My handmaidens pointed their fingers at Him and spoke in shy whispers to one another. And I stayed my steps for a moment, and raised my hand to hail Him. But He did not turn His face, and He did not look at me. And I hated Him. I was swept back into myself, and I was as cold as if I had been in a snow-drift. And I shivered.

That night I beheld Him in my dreaming; and they told me afterward that I screamed in my sleep and was restless upon my bed.

It was in the month of August that I saw Him again, through my window. He was sitting in the shadow of the cypress tree across my garden, and He was still as if He had been carved out of stone, like the statues in Antioch and other cities of the North Country.

And my slave, the Egyptian, came to me and said, “That man is here again. He is sitting there across your garden.”

And I gazed at Him, and my soul quivered within me, for He was beautiful.

His body was single and each part seemed to love every other part.

Then I clothed myself with raiment of Damascus, and I left my house and walked towards Him.

Was it my aloneness, or was it His fragrance, that drew me to Him? Was it a hunger in my eyes that desired comeliness, or was it His beauty that sought the light of my eyes?

Even now I do not know.

I walked to Him with my scented garments and my golden sandals, the sandals the Roman captain had given me, even these sandals. And when I reached Him, I said, “Good-morrow to you.”

And He said, “Good-morrow to you, Miriam.”

And He looked at me, and His night-eyes saw me as no man had seen me. And suddenly I was as if naked, and I was shy.

Yet He had only said, “Good-morrow to you.”

And then I said to Him, “Will you not come to my house?”

And He said, “Am I not already in your house?”

I did not know what He meant then, but I know now.

And I said, “Will you not have wine and bread with me?”

And He said, “Yes, Miriam, but not now.”

Not now, not now, He said. And the voice of the sea was in those two words, and the voice of the wind and the trees. And when He said them unto me, life spoke to death.

For mind you, my friend, I was dead. I was a woman who had divorced her soul. I was living apart from this self which you now see. I belonged to all men, and to none. They called me harlot, and a woman possessed of seven devils. I was cursed, and I was envied.

But when His dawn-eyes looked into my eyes all the stars of my night faded away, and I became Miriam, only Miriam, a woman lost to the earth she had known, and finding herself in new places.

And now again I said to Him, “Come into my house and share bread and wine with me.”

And He said, “Why do you bid me to be your guest?”

And I said, “I beg you to come into my house.” And it was all that was sod in me, and all that was sky in me calling unto Him.

Then He looked at me, and the noontide of His eyes was upon me, and He said, “You have many lovers, and yet I alone love you. Other men love themselves in your nearness. I love you in your self. Other men see a beauty in you that shall fade away sooner than their own years. But I see in you a beauty that shall not fade away, and in the autumn of your days that beauty shall not be afraid to gaze at itself in the mirror, and it shall not be offended.

“I alone love the unseen in you.”

Then He said in a low voice, “Go away now. If this cypress tree is yours and you would not have me sit in its shadow, I will walk my way.”

And I cried to Him and I said, “Master, come to my house. I have incense to burn for you, and a silver basin for your feet. You are a stranger and yet not a stranger. I entreat you, come to my house.”

Then He stood up and looked at me even as the seasons might look down upon the field, and He smiled. And He said again: “All men love you for themselves. I love you for yourself.”

And then He walked away.

But no other man ever walked the way He walked. Was it a breath born in my garden that moved to the east? Or was it a storm that would shake all things to their foundations?

I knew not, but on that day the sunset of His eyes slew the dragon in me, and I became a woman, I became Miriam, Miriam of Mijdel.

Celebrating Life

Celebrating life means living the moment in joy ..

It means being grateful and understanding of that which we have to experience in this human experience~

Knowing and Being

Knowing a bunch of spiritual truths and information means nothing unless we act upon these truths. We can be wise in our knowing but true wisdom comes in reflecting that which we KNOW and ARE from within.

De ja vu and the eternal moment

De ja vu is a glimpse into the eternal moment of being. It is when we 'feel' as though we have done something already.. but sometimes we are sure we haven't. It is the state of the now.. when we experience past , present, and future all at once..

every second during de ja vu is like feeling as though we have done whatever it is that we are doing/thinking before while it being the present .. and as we are in it time is passing..

it is a rare moment of eternal time.. and we are not use to this eternal state while in this dimension .. so in that moment we feel.. ' i've done this before.' Nope.. you are just getting a glimpse of eternal moment..


' a glitch in the matrix'? lol  or a glimpse into eternal moment.. NO TIME.

the planting of seeds..

Everyday we plant seeds..

Our every thought and every action is a seed. When we are around people.. we easily plant seeds. When we smile at another, glance at another (energy exchange), and talk to another .. we plant seeds.

When we talk to someone for instance.. the energy behind the words and our message plants seeds into others. Words are vibrations and when we speak .. the energy ripples outward. It is important to use words wisely.. as plants and children absorb energy rather quickly.

When we THINK a THOUGHT.. this is a seed we plant in reality... It manifests in our outward reality...

When we act on something this too is a seed we plant .. in those who witness our action. And the energy behind our action which begins with a thought ripples out into the world.

When we think of another person with negative or positive intention.. we too plant seeds within the person and ALSO within ourselves.

We each have an inner garden and it is important to visit it daily through meditation.. to see what we are planting and what we are allowing others to plant in our garden. Because our plants give much fruit..

We must watch our thoughts, our speech, and our actions daily.. to see that they reflect the HEART of our WHOLE selves.. to see that they REFLECT higher consciousness.. and awareness in the true SPIRITUAL nature that ALL is.

We must understand that we are powerful beyond measure.. and in this understanding we must take responsibility once and for all for what we plant daily.

Let's plant seeds of Love.. seeds of compassion and seeds of TRUTH in everyone and everything we come across to the best of our ability.
