Walking with Johanna... A Spiritual Journey Home

Right relationship between the human and animal kingdoms involves respect for the sacredness of life that exists both within individual animals and within the species from which they originate. This respect acknowledges within each, aspects of consciousness that make them sensate creatures, even though their sensitivities are not of the same order as those of the human being. All animals, in one way or another, share in this capacity for feeling. In addition, the very nature of animals is meant to reflect a particular facet of Divine and expressive life upon the planet, revealing, in each case, a unique feature in relation to every other plant or animal of the same or different species.

Within the last year, Elijah and I have taken in a very special animal named Duffy to foster/co-parent and love. Duffy has been adopted and let go of many times due to outbreaks of extreme behavioural problems.

During his time here, Duffy has watched, listened, and perceived us, when we sit and meditate on Wednesdays for the OWM. There have been a handful of times I have felt called let him in to sit with us. The first couple of times the energy and invite caused Duffy to become too excited and unable to be still, so he went back to watching us on the other side of the baby gate.

Then when once he understood what was going on, he settled down with us and began to whimper. When it first happened I thought he was trying to gain our attention and put him back on the other side of the gate to watch. Tonight when it happened, I came to perceive that Duffy was actually going through a release related to light and Purification.

What??? Animals Can Purify?

It is time now, for man to recognize that animals, as well as humans, have an individualized evolutionary pattern which allows them to become increasingly conscious over time, with greater awareness of self and others. This pattern of evolving awareness has been misunderstood or ignored, for the most part, by humanity, even though in individual cases, beloved pets and certain other animals have been acknowledged for their human-like qualities. Nevertheless, as a whole, mankind has treated the animal kingdom as in-sensate beings, that is, beings incapable of feeling, and therefore has treated them unkindly and disrespectfully.

Duffy_ Sacred life of animals _JohannaRaphael.jpg [ 114.11 KiB | Viewed 3706 times ]

Tonight, not only had I invited Duffy in for the meditation with us, I also invited him to come sit with me, which is a first. He sat next to me with my hand resting on him, and began to cry, as I moved my hand away from direct contact with his body the whimpering lessened in intensity. Eventually Duffy moved away from me, rolling over every now and then to make contact and then pulling away, each time gently whimpering with his breath. I heard a rustle of movement and opened my eyes briefly to see Duffy facing the flickering candle light of the altar, gently whimpering on his own.

Something inside of me instructed me to not put him out this time. As I continued to meditate I began to perceive that Duffy’s whimpering had nothing to do with his seeking our attention, Duffy was releasing. As I felt into his energy field, I could perceive this little dog releasing pain from his body.

As, Elijah and I went deeper into our meditations, the whimpering ceased and I could feel Duffy perceiving not only the energies in the room, I could perceive him perceiving our energies as we were meditating and then I felt him sync energetically with us. After that, the meditation was deep and the room very still and energetically quiet.

As the light of inner being becomes illuminated today by the expansion of greater light upon the earth, it will become more possible to see the inner divinity of all of God's creatures, and it will become more possible to celebrate and to rejoice in this, even though it means that animals will be less available for human purposes. Out of this arising knowledge of our oneness with the earth and with all of her inhabitants, will come a greater harmony with the realms of nature, and this sacred emergence will forever change our capacity to treat the earth indifferently or with cruelty.
http://lightomega.org/Ind/Pure/Mans-Sac ... ngdom.html

After the meditation Elijah read the Earth Star Prayer, and as I watched Duffy I could see that his eyes were closed and still as his body except for one ear, which listened and ever so slightly twitched as Elijah recited the prayer.

I do not know why I am surprised at this revelation. Perhaps it is not astonishment. Perhaps what I am experiencing is joy in the coming to know that animals can purify experiences of pain and abuse on their way to holding more light.

What an awesome experience and gift of revelation.
With love,
Johanna

As fellow creatures on an evolutionary path, utmost respect will be given to animals – to their habits, sensitivities, life cycles, and to the needs of different species in relation to partnering, breeding, maintaining a family life, and moving over the earth in ways that are indigenous to particular species. This patterning happens as part of the natural life cycle of individual animals and animal groups, and it will come to be seen by an awakened humanity that it can no longer be taken lightly.

Fifth Dimensional Experiences of Walking With Our Ancestors

Today whilst deep in meditation whilst tending to spring planting and feeding, I was walking down our stone steps, feeling the ongoing physical pain associated with the incoming energies of the last few days, and in a moment as I looked down at my feet and felt the pain in my body, I also felt my Mother’s Mother, my Grandmother’s presence. In the same moment, I also felt a dimensional shift where I felt I was her and she was in me, at a similar point in her life where she was feeling weary from life, and as soon as I recognized this reality, I also felt her strength rally as mine did, and I perceived a deep connection to my Ancestors through her and the experience.

Timelessness Within Time

Living in timelessness involves a profound redefinition of identity - one that includes trust that what is happening now is all there is and all that needs to be. This moment, this 'now', has immense significance because its source is in God. We and it are woven together in a dance called 'life', and the dance is ongoing forever. Knowing this, we have the possibility of letting go of everything else and living in the moment, trusting that the moment will take us to the next moment in whatever way it is meant to - in whatever way the manifestation of pure Divine intention creates.

Now we are only this moment. In the next moment, we will be only that moment, and so on and so on, indefinitely. The degree of our rootedness in God makes possible this experience of timelessness, for it is God who is unfolding Him/Herself within a myriad of forms and moments, all of them expressions of Divine being.

TIME AND TIMELESSNESS
http://lightomega.org/Time_and_Timelessness.html

This is not the first time I have had a similar experience. When I was in service and living in New Orleans, I would go to a reggae dance and as I was dancing, I could feel the Ancestors dancing through me. The deeper the spirituality of the chanting of the roots reggae song, the more I was aware of their presence in me, I would tell Elijah when it was happening, “the Ancestors are dancing with me.” I felt their presence and their joy as I danced. Sometimes I could see them in my minds eye. I felt the Ancestors moving through my body ‘with’ me, some very, very old Ancestors, and I felt their joy and my honour to be chosen.

I Am the One who has no name,
for any name would limit me and I am limitless.
I Am the air, the sea, the spirals of energy that
rise up to bring forth a new day.
I Am all that is created and all that is uncreated.
If you wish to speak of Me,
I Am One.

The BOOK OF UNITY

http://lightomega.org/BOU/Book-of-Unity-Signup.html

The last time before today I had this wonderful experience of the boundaries of time and dimensional space shifting was when I was walking in the wood in an area where I felt the Ancestors who walked here as the first Nations Peoples. I felt their presence in the wood; I could perceive the places where they camped. From the corner of my eye, I saw a figure dash from one tree to another and I saw the lower back and legs of a man, perhaps warrior or a scout, and I felt their presence, and then the moment ended. Yet it stays with me as fresh in my minds eye as it was in the moments it was occurring.

Life in the moment can be an awesome spiritual experience where the normal laws in which our bodies seem to be bound in are suspended and the boundaries of time, like a veil part, as our Oneness to all that has been and will ever be manifests itself to the open heart.

With love,
Johanna

The fifth dimension or layer of Creation is not spatial nor is it temporal. Rather, it is a dimension that brings space-time into relationship with the timeless and eternal. Fifth-dimensional 'space' and the awareness that accompanies it creates a movement of consciousness rather than a movement on the physical plane. This movement allows us to begin to perceive the unity of life and matter because we are moving within a higher plane. And just as we would if we physically ascended a mountain, as we move into higher dimensions, we have access to a broader view of what reality really is. Within this broader view, things are not as separate as they are within three-dimensional reality. The one who is 'me' and the one who is 'you' are not so far apart, in fact, they may not be apart at all.

To understand movement within a 'plane of consciousness', think of dreaming. In dreams, we can do things that are not normally possible in physical life. We can see the same thing from different perspectives. We can be two places at the same time. We can move in ways that are not possible in three-dimensional space, and time itself often has an altogether different quality. Dreaming gives us an illustration of what a 'movement in consciousness' might be like.

Multi-dimensional space, like dreaming, is a 'consciousness-space' - one which we, for the most part, are not accustomed to, unless we have had non-ordinary experiences which have taken us into these other realms.

Blessed is this moment of sacred time in which we join together with the hosts of light to pray for the well being of all inhabitants of the Earth and for the Earth itself.

We gather together in union with the divine Heart of God that holds all within itself, and open ourselves to become anchors and transmitters of light and love to the entire planet.

May all souls be held in the embrace of divine Love, and may the light that we share among us and with the Realms of Light expand outward infinitely to bless all, uplift all, and bring about a new day for the entire planet.

Your Prayers for the Suffering are Needed.

The Peoples of Iraq

UPDATED: July 16, 2015

As Iraqi forces prepare to try to recapture the city of Falluja, tens of thousands of civilians find themselves trapped between Islamic State militants ready to use them as human shields and a government suspicious of their loyalties.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/ ... 6U20150716

This is an ongoing pattern of inflicting the greatest sufferings on the largest amount of innocent peoples and children. The peoples are prevented from leaving with bombs placed around all exits to the city, and snipers shooting at women and children alike in massacres as people seek to flee the fighting. The actions of the black clad jihadis of death and misery - ISIL, are meant to inflict the greatest amount of horror, terror, human misery and suffering upon all those who are unfortunate to live near them on this planet.

Blessings to all who are suffering.

May 20, 2015

Right now, as these moments unfold, as we go about our business and lives, there are at least 20,000 Iraqi families who fled Ramadi after ISIL's brutal attacks and slaughter who are now caught, homeless and defenseless, between ISIL (Ramadi) and Baghdad. Baghdadi officials fearful of ISIL members stealing in with the frightened families, will only allow those families or individual who can be 'vouched' for by the people who live in Baghdad, to enter Baghdad.

Thousands of men, women, and children already traumatized by the recent shear savagery of the jihadis of death, now wait without tents, supplies or protection, as ISIL members aligned with the energies of blood lust, attack town after town on their way to Baghdad.

Years and years of ongoing sufferations and tribulations for the Iraqi peoples whose only 'crime' from the beginning has been living on oil rich land.

The Iraqi peoples have lived through President Bush's first war of high tech and chemical weaponry used against them, President Clinton's 'sanctions' which resulted in bombings in 'no fly zones', mass starvation, and the deprivation of supplies, which killed at least a half a million of innocent Iraqi children.

The sufferations of the Iraqi peoples did not end with the election of President George W. Bush.

Even though there was not one Iraqi citizen involved in the planning or aboard the planes which flew into the twin towers of New York, President Bush declared war on the Iraqi peoples aptly named O.I.L. (Operation Iraqi Liberation), which then began years of heightened sufferings and miseries for the Iraqi peoples. Cities and livelihoods were destroyed. The killing and maiming claimed the lives of millions of innocent Iraqis, millions others were displaced.

Many of us will never be able to imagine the horrors ordinary Iraqis experienced as both soldier and private contractor invaded their houses in the middle of the night, tied up the men and boys, separated the women and daughters from their husbands and brothers. Those who were arrested as terrorists, men, women, and teenage girls, were forced to serve time in prisons where rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and perversions of torture were rampant and photographed by American soldiers. These horrors when they could not be suppressed and covered up, were cleverly propagandized to the American peoples in the media as happening to the Iraqi peoples in the name of their 'freedom' and 'democracy' by a few bad apples.

Peace came at a price for the Iraqi peoples with a corrupt puppet government put into place, which favored one sect of the Faith over another and years of sectarian revenge killings. Peace also came with drone strikes. Yes Dear Readers, even to this day; Iraqi's continue to endure ongoing collateral killings associated with drone strikes. As we sit tonight, the Iraqi peoples face the savagery of ISIL a group of men and women whose hearts and humanity have been so lost to the forces of darkness that it is difficult to not feel great pity for their souls once they leave this earthly embodiment.

I can understand the peoples of Baghdad are afraid of ISIL entering their city, with just cause. AND I can only openly weep for the innocents who have no money, no means, no protection, nowhere to go as they wait knowing ISIL is near and will kill them. The innocents, who much like before as the ravages of war raged around them, encountered 'green zones' of protection and safety for the few whilst the rest of the peoples, men, women, and children alike, were left exposed to death, disease, starvation, and torture.

Even if we cannot through our hands, protect the fleeing peoples of Ramadi and hundreds of towns in Iraq and Syria who have experienced or will experience the horrors of the jihadis of death, we can through our intentional thoughts and actions (prayer and meditation), hold them in our hearts. See them, witness their plight with empathy, cry with the Mothers and Fathers, Sons and Daughters, Elderly and Children who are suffering so deeply and desperately in body, mind, and spirit. We can be 'with' them as much as our hearts can bear.

What ISIS Really Wants
"The Islamic State awaits the army of “Rome,” whose defeat at Dabiq, Syria, will initiate the countdown to the apocalypse."

"...Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks. Muslim “apostates” are the most common victims. Exempted from automatic execution, it appears, are Christians who do not resist their new government. Baghdadi permits them to live, as long as they pay a special tax, known as the jizya, and acknowledge their subjugation. The Koranic authority for this practice is not in dispute."
http://www.theatlantic.com/features/arc ... ts/384980/

“…One month before the strike, the White House said new rules in places like Yemen and Pakistan requiring the military to have "near certainty" it was not going to kill civilians would not apply to strikes in Iraq and Syria.”

Dear Beloved One,

Because of the expansion of light on the Earth today, it is a time in which many are experiencing great need, some with the external circumstances of life, some with the feelings that are welling up within them. At this time of global purification, it is important to remain anchored in light and in the larger spiritual perspective of your soul.

Higher Purpose: Fields of Resonance
THE CALENDAR OF LIGHT
http://lightomega.org/CL/Cal-Light-Signup.html

Do not seek to know where you are going.
Only seek to know the steps that need to be taken.
These steps will take you there.

When a person chooses to shape their life around a higher purpose by asking to be shown what their true path of service is, then events and circumstances begin to order themselves to reveal this purpose to the self, and other people begin to enter life who resonate with it. As this happens, life begins more and more to assume the quality of unity.

______________________

The fabric of a life can be seamless, infused with an overriding intention and devotion that permeates every activity and leads all that we do to point in the same direction. Such an infusion of light and of meaning takes place because of a sincere asking on our part that our higher purpose be revealed to us so that we might live by it. This higher purpose is simultaneously our path of service. With this asking on our part, a 'field of resonance'1 begins to be created because a call has gone out to the universe. As a result, every activity and every person we meet after sending forth the call in some way contributes to the discovery of who we are and how we can best serve God. Increasingly, all events and situations that come our way begin to resonate with what we need to learn and where we need to be, bringing into the complexity of events, all that is needed in order for us to discover and fulfill our true reason for being here.

We may have a particular work to do that gives outer form to our purpose. Or, our path may be formless, relating less to the specific work we do and more to the many small events and encounters that happen within a given day. These small events bring to us those whom we need to be with, those whom we need to learn from, and those whom we need to serve.

A life dedicated to higher purpose brings us into closer contact with our soul and with the souls of others with whom we resonate. We also begin to have more frequent experiences of 'synchronicity'2 - a phenomenon which allows people and events to interact with our movements through time and space in ways that appear uncannily precise and in which great meaning appears to be present. Synchronicity shows us that life is not happening randomly or without direction. It reveals a momentum or force operating behind what might otherwise appear to be a random configuration of events, letting us know that life is moving us in particular ways.

The creation of a 'field of resonance' often brings joy with it, but it can also bring uncertainty and require of us that we live in a very fluid way. For it can happen, over long periods of time, that we do not know where we are being moved, or why, only that we need to be someplace or with someone. Fluidity allows us to set aside previous plans when it becomes clear that something unexpected and powerful seems to be going on that requires our full presence. When people whom we have known in the past show up again suddenly; when we find a name, a place, or a book that suddenly evokes deep feelings within us; when we go somewhere with one idea in mind about why we are going, only to find that God has another idea in mind that develops once we are there - all these events invite us to greet them with full presence as we increasingly perceive their meaning that speaks to our soul.

In fact, it is the deepening feeling of being meant to be somewhere or of being meant to meet someone that is communicated by a life that is shaping itself around purpose. This feeling may create ambiguity due to not knowing exactly what is happening when we are stirred in profound ways, yet it often brings with it great happiness as well, since we feel that we are being guided and watched over by an invisible hand that is orchestrating the flow of events in our life.

As the feeling grows that we are being led by this hand to where we are meant to be, we can continue to ask that our path of service be revealed to us. As a result of continued asking, more and more of life will bring to us opportunities that are part of Divine intention and of our soul's calling, and the certainty will grow that we are serving life to the maximum we are able to as we follow the road laid out before us.

List of terms:

1. field of resonance: A field which vibrates in unison with a central intention or energy; the response of surrounding life to our intention to serve God; literally, the harmonizing of outer events with our inner commitment to service so that they vibrate in unison with that commitment.

2. synchonicity: The confluence of two streams of energy which appear to meet or merge by chance, but which, in reality, are part of a higher gestalt or energy pattern that has brought them together. Synchronicity can relate to meeting people we are meant to meet at a precise time; to being somewhere that we are needed when an important but unexpected event happens; or of having something unforeseen happen that brings us somewhere unexpected, allowing us to experience something important that would not have happened had we not shown up.

The need for healing as the earth moves into a higher vibration of light applies not only to individuals, but to nations, and not only to nations, but to the symbols of nations that represent their essence. Thus, the flag of America is in need of healing as is her consciousness, and that which enables the consciousness of America to reawaken to its true proportions and purpose, will also heal the flag and restore its full measure of light.

“The human heart exists in beauty and in limitation. Its beauty lies in the fact that it is capable of great love, great tenderness, and great vulnerability. It's limitation lies in the same fact. Yet, the limitation of today is the expansion of tomorrow, as the heart begins to feel a greater Love moving within itself, and as it awakens more fully to its own power of expression…”

“…. With a more awakened heart, it is possible to be deeply in love with life. It is possible to deeply love one's own being. It is possible to become identified with love to such a degree that one wants to extend it everywhere. These possibilities exist but must be awakened within the human heart. They exist, but they must be perceived as real. “

MOVEMENTS OF THE HEART
http://lightomega.org/Earth/ANC/Movemen ... Heart.html

Hello Dear Readers,

Recently I was blessed with a loving interaction with, at least in this lifetime, a complete stranger.

I tell you of this beautiful interaction not because I seek any recognition for my actions, as my heart has already been rewarded richly. I tell you this story rather, to encourage others when the moment calls them to be in their hearts, to heed the call.

I have been using my walking stick lately. The energies have been so intense that walking has been challenging at the best of times and near impossible at the worst. Thank you Elijah for all your help!

I had been approaching the front door of the store I wished to enter when an elderly woman to my left came up alongside me. At first she looked at me as most people, especially the elderly often do, bemused and confused by my locks. Then she looked at my walking stick.

She stopped me and asked me where I had gotten the stick and I told her. “Yes,” she said, “I saw them there a few years ago, do they still carry them?”

“No.” I told her, I no longer see them at the store. (They were lovely hand carved sticks about 4-5 feet in height with a leather cord.)

I then asked her, “Why didn’t you pick one up when they had them?”

“I didn’t need one then,” she told me.

I unwrapped the leather cord looped around my wrist and placed the walking stick in her hand, putting the cord over her hand as she clasped the stick and protested,

“Please take my walking stick.”

“How much do you want for it?” She asks.

“A kiss on my cheek please.”

“What?” She says startled.

“A kiss on my cheek is all I ask.”

She gives me a kiss on the cheek.

Then suddenly she pulls back and says, “No I can’t accept this. I must give you money”.

‘You have already paid me in full with your kiss, I say to her. Please keep the walking stick.”

“A dollar” she says, “let me give you at least a dollar for the stick.”

Again I say to her, “no you have already paid for the stick in full.”

“A penny,” she insists. “I have to give you something for this.” “No,” I insist, you have given me something, a kiss on the cheek and it has left me feeling full of joy.”

Suddenly this very reserved woman takes my hand and asks me, “What is your name?”

“Johanna."

"I'm Betty,” she replies.

Betty lets go of my hand and looks me in the eye and says to me, “I am 90 years old and I have given to people all my life, never has anyone just given me something like this… so spontaneously.”

Kiddingly I say to her, “and now you keep refusing when the love comes back to you?” In the following moment a tear wells up in my eye and I say to her, “Oh Betty I am sorry you had to wait so long.”

Now if I may Dear Readers, this is the part of this lovely interaction I would like to highlight as worthy of spiritual focus. That it had taken 90 years, its Betty’s 90th in August, for someone to enter her life and bless her with the type of kindness and love she felt she had always given to others; a spontaneous love and kindness, which she allowed to touch her heart from a seemingly complete and total stranger.

After spending a few minutes talking about walking sticks her son had brought but were mot suitable on a walking track but good for mountain climbing, Betty said the following to me.

“Johanna there is a Yiddish word for what has happened today. Bashert .” “Meeting you today was serendipitous.” ” Bashert.” Betty says again.

After parting ways, I felt so blessed to meet with the soul who is Betty and gave thanks to the One whom I call God, for the opportunity to share of my heart and the gift of my heart being received. Love received AND the blessing of experiencing that initial impulse of love growing and expanding in return. What a great day!

When I was getting ready to post this I went and researched the word Bashert and found two meanings which most resembled what Betty said to my about what the word meant to her.

May we all set our hearts intentions to be open to many more Bashert moments with each other.

With love,
Johanna

P.S. I found a beautiful tree limb in the woodpile and have sanded it smooth ready to stain as my new walking stick.

Beloved Ones, the obstacles to oneness are
being removed now as the Earth en-lightens.
All that separates one from another and
you from your divine Being
is being brought to light.
Praise this movement forward.
Be grateful.
For the time of uncovering is here, and with it
shall come the birth of a holy planet.

Bashert, (Yiddish: באַשערט, also transliterated besherte, beshert or besherter) is a Yiddish word that means "destiny"....
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080919020959AAjyccm

Beshert is a Yiddish word whose etymology is not entirely clear. The most likely source is the German "beschert," which means "given." "Beschert" is often used to mean Christmas and New Year presents, which according to folklore are divine gifts, hence the connection to beshert.

conforms to the truth of the interconnectedness of all.

Light from the higher planes of our being flows down to us at all times, but more potently when a pathway for this flow is created through prayer and invitation. Prayer opens pathways of light by which the soul's purpose can more effectively come into being both within us and within the flow of life. The intertwining of thought and energy are what is involved here, for the intention to place our life in service to God according to the purposes of our soul is a thought that energizes a reality. It links the lower vibration of our human self with the higher vibration that our soul carries, and creates a conduit by which the higher can flow into the lower.

This phenomenon also relates to the shaping of external reality - even to the shaping of a complex reality that involves many others. Here, the same principle is involved, namely, that light from the higher planes descends to the plane of the physical, infusing both the consciousness of individual souls and the network of light of which they are a part.

All souls participate in a vast and complex network of light. Therefore, when we invoke light and invite it to descend into the physical, it affects all others who are connected with us, even those who are remotely connected. Enhancing light within this network means that all events around the point at which light descends - the point that corresponds to our purposeful invitation - will be influenced by light's presence in much the same way that the dark is illuminated by a flashlight whose beam is concentrated at the center, but whose light spreads outward in diminishing circles of intensity from the point of focus.

Metaphysics of Light: Defines the reciprocal interaction between light of different dimensions and different vibrational frequencies
as well as the spiritual process by which light-energy transfers from one dimension or plane to another.

Hello Dear Readers,

For the last few weeks the energies my body has been containing have been rather intense. Recently there has been no more grounding on Mother Earth for me! The energies have been manifesting as extreme pain and limited mobility in my sacral area. Walking is easier when the frequencies are more diminished, less possible when amplified. Even so, in the presence of the pain I have been experiencing, I have also been experiencing the energies of upliftment, a sense of inner peace, well beingness, trust, faith, and mental strength.

Along with the energies which are affecting my ability to physically move, I have been finding myself crying. This is not emotional crying. Nor is the crying I am experiencing related to the limitations and pain I am experiencing. The crying which is moving through my body is the crying of the millions suffering right now, especially, but not limited to, those who are living in areas on the planet which taken over by zealots of any religious or political origin.

I think we in the West most especially, if our sons and daughters are not serving/served in the armed forces, take the presence of so much violence and war on the planet right now for granted. Sometimes I feel that the level of disconnect I witness to the very real suffering and tribulations of the millions of souls in war zones seems to register more as a movie or t.v. drama that many entertain themselves with in their down times.

Yet those of us who choose to open our hearts to our planetary brothers and sisters can feel and hear their cries, whilst others who serve and share Light are deeply empathetic to the sufferings which are happening everyday in real time for millions.

I believe the spontaneous crying which I have been experiencing is connected to the planetary crying I have been taking into my body in service to the Light.

I can't say more than what I have just written Dear Readers about what I am experiencing, as there are aspects to my service work that even I am not aware of.

What I can do is share Teachings with you that speak to the energies which are currently moving through me.

My heart and prayers to all who are suffering whether it be from war, natural disaster, weather, poverty, rape, abuse, isolation, and fear.

with love,
Johanna

"...This great cry from the earth gets louder. There is crying everywhere as the force of uncontrolled violence gets stronger, as the justification for the assertion of power gets deeper - anywhere, everywhere. The cries of those who stood in their front yards watching the movements in the street, afraid to leave their front yards. They were not safe even there, for the bullet came to them, the bullet that killed them. They didn't have to go anywhere.

The earth cries out in pain at this violence unleashed within its body, within its soul. It is the cry of a mother mourning her children. It is the cry of a helpless child, wounded, without knowing why. It is the cry of a shepherd, whose sheep have run away. It is the cry of the dirt itself, covering the bodies of the little ones who have died.

The earth cries out and says: "Where is your brother? What have you done to him?" And hears in response: "Am I my brother's keeper?" The old tale, the old betrayal of one brother by another. The very stones and sand of the dusty, sun-drenched streets are asking this question, but no-one listens. They say over and over again: "Where is your brother? What have you done to him?" The voice of the stones echoes in the deserted streets and from the rooftops: "What have you done... done... done?" There is no answer.

The pain of the earth is the pain of betrayal, a betrayal of that which was given out of love, of that which was hoped for in the beginning. It is the betrayal of the gift-offering of the rivers and mountains, the oceans and the pure air that used to be. It is the betrayal of the hope for harmony among living things that nature craves and is moving toward. It is a betrayal of the living body of the earth that is not only stones, and dirt, and water, but also blood, and breath, and consciousness - the consciousness of hope.

We have betrayed the earth through our greed and violence, our need for power and greatness. Not each one of us, individually, in our hearts and minds. But 'we' as the arms and legs, the fingers and toes of a larger body - the body of mankind. We have betrayed our brothers as it was written in the beginning, and the blood of the earth is upon our hands - upon some hands more than others, for some are betrayers and some are innocents. Some are all too ready to use whatever opportunity arises to seek their own ends, and some will relinquish power in favor of peace.

Oh, precious earth, I hear you crying…"
