Comments on: A Balancing Act http://dreaminghades.com/balancing-act Thoughts along The Path Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:52:43 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Mer-Amun http://dreaminghades.com/balancing-act/comment-page-1#comment-9688 Mer-Amun Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:23:56 +0000 http://dreaminghades.com/?p=1089#comment-9688 Hi Colleen. Yes, I'm here, barely. Demands in both my professional, family, and spiritual life ebb and flow as time goes by, and at the moment are at a high point. While I haven't published anything here for some time now, I am still working on the next installment in the series of posts about "The Habit of Behaving Like Who We Really Are." I'm searching for, and praying for the right words to introduce and express the manner in which everything one sees, and everything one is aware of, is actually a reflection of oneself. But by "oneself" I do not mean a human being, I mean a Star Point of Awareness radiating experience, experience of Itself. I'm gathering ideas to explain how, all of these projections of Pure Consciousness are perfect reflections in that they are all equally aware and responsive, have just as much feelings, habits, hopes and dreams of their own just exactly as you do. As Creator of the Universe, your Consciousness is constantly creating living, feeling, hoping beings in all shapes and forms, from the highest gods, to the lowliest and simplest elemental. What I want to do is explain exactly how this happens, how it works, to reveal the meanings, purpose, design and mechanics behind all rituals, spells, prayers, and conscious acts of every kind. So, yes, I'm here, just in a phase where I'm not quite as obviously active on this site as other phases in the cycle. You can definitely expect more, when I finally use what I described above to explain here what's happening in the Pentagram Ritual when the Archangels, Winds, and Protectors are called to Mind, and how they all remind us in our direct personal experience just how alive and real our so-called "imaginations" really are. This, demonstrating and reminding us of the extent of our true nature, and our place in everything we experience.

I've just been very busy lately, and it's taken me a while to do so. Sorry for any anxiety this might have caused. Mer-Amun Hi Colleen. Yes, I’m here, barely.

I'm not sure what the statement means, "Your comment is awaiting moderation". Is there more that I need to do? Is this just an automatic response? Since you haven't written anything in a while, I'm concerned. Please be there, Mer-Amun. You are a spiritual light for me and others. Colleen Hello Mer-Amun,

Are you there? I’m not sure what the statement means, “Your comment is awaiting moderation”. Is there more that I need to do? Is this just an automatic response?

Since you haven’t written anything in a while, I’m concerned. Please be there, Mer-Amun. You are a spiritual light for me and others.

Thank you for conveying these realities of things I have been thinking about. of giving clarity to contradictory experiences, both on this blog and throughout the website. Having been an initiate in the Isis-Maut for some 7 years, and away from traditional Wicca for about 13 years, the Craft has continued to inform my spiritual search. "Non-Dual" tradition has been my focus for the last 4 years or so - apparently at odds with ritual and magick. And yet, having found your website this winter, and having had deeper experiences of unconditioned mind, I can't stop thinking about the profound truths in the traditional training I received. So shocked am I to see the depths of the teaching in Wicca that were taught and apparently absorbed. And here, your honesty and skill at explanation is so helpful and moving. Thank you, thank you. Blessed Be. (Please don’t publish this comment) Dear Mer-Amun,

If I can remember always to regard others from the viewpoint of compassion (not sentiment or pity), then I can recall their possible suffering and prevent heartlessness. If I apply discipline to myself and remember my own sorrow is but an illusion, I keep from sinking into depression and despair. My thoughts to share amongst you all - bright blessings!
