Geneology

Father was a painter,
Mother was a painter.
They rhymed together
And were of like minds.
Father came from the north,
Mother lived on the Rhine.
There the son of a blacksmith
Courted the patrician’s daughter.
She was no fool
And made the right choice.
Her cheerful father
Was general of the cavalry
And son of a Rhinish art collector.
His family had been saving their coins
For over five hundred years now.
Now, father’s father
Was an anchor-smith.
He sounded his hammer song
In Wismar on the Baltic.
And received his old forge
From his father before him
He was really vexed
When his own son never
Became a smith.
That is my family tree
On both father’s and mother’s side
Here hangs the youngest apple
And isn’t he clever?

It begins, timeless
The charade of life
Goddess astride a silver stallion
Romping and singing
In the playground of my mind
Light hearted and sensuous
Behold, the sight of her
Enslaves my heart

The musical comedy goes on
Beneath the silver birch
We walk together,
Hand in hand
She hesitates
Will love conquer
The fear of a Goddess?

Merchant Souls
 
Oh how they love! How temperate they remain!
Only love does not make them richer!
How scrupulously they barter
And add little emotions to little emotions.
 
And here stands one, who with a thousand hands,
Wants to cast himself, like seed, into the universe
To complete his existence a thousand fold,
To renew his existence a thousand fold.
 
No, no, I pass on your ambition,
I cannot safely barter my heart!
Better to live with whores and gamble,
As heartily as you do making deals!

By a Mountain Streamlet

Stop, lusty runaway,
Give me your answer, short and fast,
Tell me, dearest streamlet,
Do you ever think of anything serious?
I would gladly exchange my wisdom,
For your light heartedness.
 
Look, how the little Wight laughs at that,
Sprays water drops into my face,
Then springs forth into the sunshine,
Is that your answer?

Mia Holm 1900

I don’t know, if you
Will ever, ever
Reach love with me.
I only know, that when
I think of it, my cheeks Pale,
 
That I, with cold nerves,
Could become so hot,
Laugh in the glow
Of your love,
And break your heart.

Orchids

When the Devil
was a woman
She was Lilith
Her black hair coiled
In heavy knots
Surrounding her head
Like a Botticelli ruff
When she smiled tiredly
At the gold bands
And colored stones
On all of her narrow fingers
When she read Villiers
And loved Huysmans
When she understood
Maeterlinks silence
And her soul bathed
In the colors
Of Gabriel d’Annunzlo
She once laughed
And when the Princess
Laughed a little serpent
Sprang out of her mouth
This most beautiful Devil
Stroked the serpent
This queen stroked the serpent
With her be-ringed fingers
So that it turned, hissed,
Hissed, hissed
And sprayed venom
Lilith collected the drops
And sprinkled them
Over her heavy copper vase
Of moist earth,
Black, moist earth
Her vast hands moved lightly
All around the
Heavy copper vase
Caressing it
Softly her pale lips sang
Her old spell
Her spell rang
Like a child’s rhyme
Soft and languid,
Languid like the kisses
From her mouth
The moist earth drank
And life arose in the vase
Enticed by her languid kisses
Enticed by her soft sounds
And slowly out
Of the black earth crept
Orchids-
In front of the favorite
Mirroring her
Pale features
Surrounded with
Botticelli vipers
Creeping sideways
Out of the copper vase
Orchids-
Devil’s flowers
Those of the old earth
That through Lilith’s spell
And specially prepared
Serpent’s venom
Had been brought
Into the light,
Orchids-
Devil’s flowers

Almost

The beautiful blonde maiden
Dances before the bridge
Her sensuous naked figure
Trembles and sways
In the silver moonlight
Her soft musical voice
Lures me, under her spell
I can not think
Only follow as she
Leads me beneath the
Dark stone bridge
She is mine
But even as I touch her
She oozes through my fingers
And quietly, swiftly slips away
Forever

I feel guided to share my own thoughts and observations about Gaia’s ascension because I haven’t found any good information out there! Steve Rother is perhaps the best but I’m not really onboard with what he channels, at least not completely.

So where to start. I continue to be amazed that the timeline I have following for over twenty five years is virtually unchanged. The visions I received back then are still as true as they were then. So I must have tapped into the real thing back then. All these other timelines have folded or transformed to support the single timeline I originally was shown and all is according to a higher plan that has not once deviated. I think this is important to share.

So here is something from twenty five years ago. Earth’s magnetic poles will shift about 20 degrees. I experienced that shift in the higher astral realms and have followed it down to the lowest levels. So earth’s poles are going to shift, but not end for end. It looks like that is what Steve Rother is picking up on and it will probably happen in my lifetime. A shift of 20 degrees is still formidable in terms of what it can do weather wise. I’m betting this will happen a lot sooner than fifty years because we are speeding all this up considerably.

Next comment, Gaia portal recently posted, “Enter the dragons.” That is a reference to some of us old timers that are just now starting to get into the mix. My attempts to post four posts a day from now until the winter solstice is an example of something a dragon might do to combat the insanity that currently runs rampant across the globe. Nothing succeeds like excess and few would have the stamina or information to post that much for so long. Its a little larger than life but that’s what dragons do.

Lastly here’s some info about the Event or what ascension really is. I have a visual but its not nice. It does help though! Gaia’s ascension is like a snake shedding its old skin after it out grows it. We ascending are part of that old skin! This is difficult to express in words.

Earth is like a pebble or rock without any organic life. Gaia is the life force that exists within and around earth itself. Gaia exists in the astral planes, the entire astral planes from the highest to the lowest and she’s in the process of leaving earth behind! She is like the snake skin that is being sloughed off. The astral planes and all its contents are leaving the rock or pebble that is earth and beginning a non-physical existence in other dimensions.

Once Gaia has been sloughed off a new “skin” will begin to form surrounding the rock or pebble that is earth. But this new “skin” will be “under quarantine” and none of us that have ascended can influence it in any way. We had our turn and we have just graduated. Now it is someone else’s turn and off limits to us. This is just the same as how our space brothers and sisters were not allowed to directly interfere in our ascension. Now it is our turn to sit this one out and watch.

I’m saying all this from an earth viewpoint. From the earth viewpoint we will become ghosts of what Gaia once was. Isn’t that what a snake skin becomes once its shed? But time is circular and to those playing the new game on earth we will appear to them as the future, not the past. It’s all a game and its all circular.

From the ascended viewpoint we continue to live in non-physical bodies and non-physical worlds. Those of us alive today will probably live in our already activated and working etheric bodies in worlds much like this one, but etheric will become our new physical. Others may live at higher even less physical planes of existence.

The timing of these things is like the shedding of a snake’s skin as well. I would say we are now over halfway cast off! There is nothing that can keep us here any longer than necessary! The sense that I have is that I will be released after this writing project… sometime this winter perhaps. The dragons make such a mess of things!

The Social Enforcer

In my last post we have seen how the rational atheist ultimately self-destructed as the mind began to identify more closely with spirit than with physical reality. This was known as the birth of the true self or human ego or in psychological terms the creation of the Observer self or watcher. Over the last 2000 years a similar thing has happened to those spiritually oriented souls which I call social enforcers.

In the beginning social enforcers were simply trying to prove the existence of nonphysical awareness, the immortal soul. They denied the world, denied the pleasures of the body, and gave their lives in martyrdom for their belief of continued existence after the death of the physical body. Again this process happened in stages with the mind forging ahead and the heart lagging behind. Long before the Reformation people argued about how many angels could fit on the end of a pin and other imponderables. This was the beginning of people living in their heads.

But things really began to get serious during the Reformation of the church and the rise of Protestantism. Faith and doctrine took precedence over the wisdom of the heart and the heart became empty and incapable of emotional or earthly love. It became possible to kill and persecute other humans in the name of God to save their souls from eternal damnation! What kind of love is that? It is a spiritual love that exists only in the spirit and only in the head! The heart is completely empty!

In today’s modern society this hardening of the heart has reached such an extreme that video games and television shows have become more real to us then warmhearted and kind human social exchanges! We are forced to admit that spirit has led us astray because it has made our lives and our souls empty! Freedom of the spirit and the soul has become escape from life! And the only thing that remains is seductive retreat into fantasy.

But spirit is not capable of destroying the physical world even though it would like to. It knows and recognizes nothing except the spiritual, the nonphysical and has a perpetual longing to spiritualize the world, to convert the world into spirit. So the social enforcer continues on with their plans for the redemption and salvation of the world.
