Full Moon for Walk and Work Truth; Grandmother Spider, Clan Mother Weaves the Web

A partial posting from Sara's public blog cowgirlzen.com :

We are inspired  this moon by "Weaves the Web", the prototypical mother of creative and destructive forces.  Spider medicine is strong in this season and moon cycle.

Weaves the Web and grandmother spider speak to me of manifesting the divine in my daily life.  Increasingly, my heart's desire is to simply be a daily, living expression of the Universal Love that I can sometimes touch in my meditations.  Today's lesson to me is about the importance of creating and then letting go of those creations.

Why, if I weave with the conscious intent of channeling the divine, should I not hold tightly, as sacred, to what I create?

Because I am human.

Because I am human, I am an imperfect lens through which the light of Creation shines.  My weavings are inevitably distortions of the indescribable beauty I feel inside.  To become enamored of them is to attach to the distortion.  To love without attachment is to honor the creative force embodied within them.  To let go is to acknowledge the abundance from which they sprang and from which sufficiently more will arise to take their place.

Self reflection:  How can I manifest 'divine intention' in my daily life?  Where could I practice letting go of 'my way' during the waning weeks of this moon cycle?

Listening for the Truth of Wisdom

In the Waning Moon to Hear Truth, what is it we are listening for?

We are listening for the voice of the Mother, Earth;

the voice of Source, Creator, Divine One.

We are listening for wisdom, guidance, knowing.

We are listening for the way in which our inner knowing (which seems to come from our heart) hears and meets the wisdom and knowing of the universe.

Once you have experienced this coming together of knowing you will recognize this kind of listening when it happens.  You begin to long for it, and the practicing becomes easier.

You feel, finally, as if you are home--because you are.

Self Reflection: How does my inner knowing hear and meet Wisdom?

The Audible Voice of Creator

I learn to love the stillness Stillness becomes a caress from Creator. I feel Creator's presence surrounding me in the stillness, Carressing all of me, body and soul. The voice of the Divine enters through my ears and heart. I hear Her speak in decibels not heard in the ordinary range. Creator's range of Truth is infinite. Far beyond what my human ears could ever comprehend. AND YET, this is the miracle: that still,small voice of Wisdom becomes audible when I listen.

Self Reflection: The still small voice is loud and clear!

Our Being is a Home for Divine Expression

We are a home being built to house Divine light.

We are expressions of Creations's design.

We must keep referring to the Architect's plans.

A home does not build itself of it's own accord.

All means of crafts persons are required.

All kind of skills are called upon.

Our lives do not come into being in a vacuum.
The supplies we need arrive at just the right time,
So, too do the instructions for what to do - next.

Self Reflection: All I need to build this home for my creation is provided for, if I can open my eyes to see and my heart to receive them.

As We View Our Selves and Our World, Is How We Co-Create Our Life

The April moon cycle energy is the energy for new-life and the gift and teaching of Seeing Truth.  The 4th moon reminds us that our thoughts and emotions are like lasers that focus the energy of our life and sharpen our point of view, resulting in how we see the world.  Our thoughts and emotions give life to what they are focused on.  In this way, we really do have the capacity to create our own reality.  This capacity comes first through our view of ourselves, and second by how we view the world around us.  What a difference it makes if our view of the world is fear or ego driven verses coming through Divine Guidance.  

Unfortunately, many people do not understand that in order to create the possibility of a desired reality, thoughts and emotions must be finely tuned and carefully focused, as this impacts our ability to see what is Truth-- even in the midst of distortion and chaos. For example,  if our thoughts and emotions are focused on feelings of guilt and non-deserving, our way of seeing in the world is through the lens of this point of view and creating a space for our deeper desires and longings is not possible.  We can only create more situations that reinforce guilt and non-deserving, and lack. However, when we invite Divine Guidance into our vision, we  co-create through our connection to Creator, and see with eyes of possibility and potential.  

Self Reflections: How do I choose to see myself, my world, what is possible?
