YET TO Discover

"The spirit still has something for us to discover: an herb, a sprig, a flower-a very small flower; maybe you can spend a long time in its contemplation, thinking about it." ~Lame Deer, LAKOTA

RESURRECTION: Preparation to LIVE???

If one goes deeply down into the depths of the oceans, there are powerful currents and a rich absence of turbulence - a profound presence of silence, power, and potential adventure, encased in a soothing smoothness of texture and sound. If you withdraw from your ordinary world and dive deeply within, it is similar. There you will find a profound presence of power, potential adventure, and a deep, calming release. ♥! www.SacredLoveOmetry.com

the Art Form of Sacred Geometry

There is a lot to be said about power, men and men of power. If you know the stories or know the men or teach the men, are one of the men the stories held need to be told, and told by any means necessary. So, I ask:

How does a son prepare himself for his mother's death? How does a man prepare to be without his mother's life in the temporal state of being Mommy? How do sons become the patriarchs of their families in the physical absence of their parents? What form does the eldest take during the transition of his Mother's life to the next? What alters and what grows in the wake of change this profound?

The relationships, all the relationships abounding in life are watching this drama. Integrity has a say. Righteousness has a say. Experience has a contribution, and prophecy and maturity are conscious as the veils between this life and the next thin daily for Mommy and I. Mothers become mothers to sons in ways daughters are not privy to, and daughters become daughters to mothers and fathers in ways a boy, a man, and a father can gaze at attentively, but not know in fullness. I think of how broken and distraught my own sister is in her life as Mommy dies not to her self but to the conscious reality she lived so well here with us. There is one broken thing my Mother cannot fix, and it lives in the denials and gross contradictions of my sister, and the relationship between the two of them: my sister's inability to forgive, her two attendant energies anger and fear and her inability to admit to ever being wrong.

This is rather personal. This request, this plea, these questions are not made for gossips. It is for healers to perceive and probe with their Medicines into this my personal story. AHO! These are my words. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.27.13

a dream BEYOND dreams is seen within the transitions from this life to the next. It is seen, it seems, in a form dependent upon the life one led in their days breath held them together upon the Earth when Earth is our Mother. How do we prepare to live beyond the dream of our terrestrial life? Is it the same or similar to the adjustment made when we came into this world as a baby? Or do we enter the next life as the adult we are in this life? I've long wondered, but is it important the pondering of those thoughts and ideas while alive? What is more important than being in the present and becoming and giving birth to your Self?

LEGACY OF PENN

the LENAPE

William Penn died in 1718. His heirs, John and Thomas Penn, and their agents were running the colony, and had abandoned many of the elder Penn's practices. Trying to raise money, they contemplated ways to sell Lenape land to colonial settlers. The resulting scheme culminated in the so-called Walking Purchase. In the mid-1730s, colonial administrators produced a draft of a land deed dating to the 1680s. William Penn had approached several leaders of Lenape polities in the lower Delaware to discuss land sales further north. Since the land in question did not belong to their polities, the talks came to nothing. But colonial administrators had prepared the draft that resurfaced in the 1730s. The Penns and their supporters tried to present this draft as a legitimate deed. Lenape leaders in the lower Delaware refused to accept it.

What followed was a "convoluted sequence of deception, fraud, and extortion orchestrated by the Pennsylvania government that is commonly known as the Walking Purchase."

In the end, all Lenape who still lived on the Delaware were driven off the remnants of their homeland under threats of violence. Some Lenape polities eventually retaliated by attacking Pennsylvania settlements. When they fought British colonial expansion to a standstill at the height of the Seven Years' War, the British government investigated the causes of Lenape resentment. The British asked William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, to lead the investigation. Johnson had become wealthy as a trader and acquired thousands of acres of land in the Mohawk River Valley from the Iroquois Mohawk of New York.

Beginning in the 18th century, the Moravian Church established missions among the Lenape. The Moravians required the Christian converts to share their pacifism, as well as to live in a structured and European-style mission village. Moravian pacifism and unwillingness to take loyalty oaths caused conflicts with British authorities, who were seeking aid against the French and their Native American allies during the French and Indian War (Seven Years War). The Moravians' insistence on Christian Lenapes' abandoning traditional warfare practices alienated mission populations from other Lenape and Native American groups, who revered warriors. The Moravians accompanied Lenape relocations to Ohio and Canada, continuing their missionary work. The Moravian Lenape who settled permanently in Ontario after the American Revolutionary War were sometimes referred to as "Christian Munsee", as they mostly spoke the Munsee branch of the Delaware language.

During the French and Indian War, the Lenape initially sided with the French, as they hoped to prevent further British colonial encroachment in their territory. But, such leaders as Teedyuscung in the east and Tamaqua in the vicinity of modern Pittsburgh shifted to building alliances with the English. After the end of the war, however, Anglo-American settlers continued to kill Lenape, often to such an extent that the historian Amy Schutt writes the dead since the wars outnumbered those killed during the war.

The Treaty of Easton, signed in 1758 between the Lenape and the Anglo-American colonists, required the Lenape to move westward, out of present-day New York and New Jersey and into Pennsylvania, then Ohio and beyond. Sporadically they continued to raid European-American settlers from far outside the area.

In 1763 Bill Hickman, Lenape, warned English colonists in the Juniata River region of an impending attack. Many Lenape joined in Pontiac's War, and were numerous among those Native Americans who besieged Pittsburgh. In April 1763 Teedyuscung was killed when his home was burned. His son Captain Bull responded by attacking settlers from New England who had migrated to the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania. The settlers had been sponsored by the Susquehanna Company.

The Lenape were the first Indian tribe to enter into a treaty with the new United States government, with the Treaty of Fort Pitt signed in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. By then living mostly in the Ohio Country, the Lenape supplied the Continental Army with warriors and scouts in exchange for food supplies and security. READ MORE

A PRACTICE OF FAITH

“What is the purpose of proving there is a God? Is it important to proof to someone which God is more important to believe in, or is there a need to assert dominance in the spirit of being right, or possessive of an ideological stance? Being an African Creek Indian presented challenges to the claims of my Sunday School teachers because the language of a conqueror sounds one way to a conquered people and another way to the conqueror, and his descendants  The Gospel has the same sounds in its languages as it is given, has been given to Africans, and Native Americans. Those ancestor's memories swirl from the Earth where they lay, and the weird queries, and bewildered expressions expressed while fingering their bloody wounds linger in the air, the land Christians insist on not seeing as sacred.

It takes a lot of thought to be a Christian with your ancestors asking you the questions they asked themselves.” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.19.13

"I am not much on gossips, or relationships based upon conflict or simple minded reality shows, but I am attracted to people with dreams and drive. It is encouraging to see people with strong dreams propelling them forward arise out of curious situations that they purpose to elevate themselves from.  I encourage them, and their progress from afar. There is enough negative and mean energy going their way, and on television it is overblown. To create a contrast I have to ignore the contradictions of her approach, and character. Those are things a lifetime of living will work out as she evolves. The spiritual responsibility I hold is one of prayer, encouraging prayer for anyone who dreams a dream of themselves in service, creating, giving, and empowering others. That gift to the world needs support traveling its direction through the Air. It counterbalances the normal flows of energies that fear growth, resent change, and hold in contempt the warmth of family, and cannot understand the birthing process of the Womb in the business culture.

These are my words." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.6.12

An exquisite moment: stillness

Water.  Is water the state we come from and return upon dying?

My mother took a turn for the worse today. No longer eating she seems to be taking in less air. She is silent. Eyes closed. Here, but not here, amongst us, but far enough away to peer into where she's going, and not close enough for us to hear her and feel the essence we've lived with the whole of our lives.  Our relationships with Mommy has changed and changed we all are by the new way she is balancing the the spheres of existence with the scope of her Death.

There is an exquisite moment stillness brings to us in the final moments during and after a decision is made that must intensify near death for Mommy. I remember how violent the end of my life was before I came into this lifetime. So, I am comparing. But, as I think about that death I remember there was a stillness the moment the shotgun barrels barked fire, and I released my grip on my life. I sunk into a soothing darkness, and an awareness that went somewhere, or merged with something beyond my telling ability.

Mommy is a woman, a mother of five, a wife, and a grandmother, and I, with my special privilege have watched, and been a part of , in some way, with her transitions from the Maiden to the Mother, and into the Old Wise Woman. Now the Beyond beckons, and teaches her sons, and husband, in her dying, to live the teachings in a new way, a different way.

Today, Mommy is alive, but where is her spirit, and what does it see, and perceive? How does she feel? Inside of her body what does she feel? Is she learning to disassociate,  merge, rekindle? I don't know. I just have feelings, and intuition, and past life knowledge, and my love for Mommy, and the love she's given me the whole of my lifetime.  So many questions that I will not ask of her in her presence, even in silence. She asked me once a few weeks ago if there was anything we needed to discuss. I answered, "No, ma'am. I am just enjoying the present..."

With that Mommy and I lapsed into a comfortable silence from then until now. We only communicate, and I listen.

CLASSICAL BEAUTY

The Pietà by Michelangelo

The Pietà by Michelangelo (1498–1499) is housed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The statue was commissioned for the French cardinal Jean de Billheres, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century.

Pietà detail: It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed. This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unique to that time. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism. The statue is one of the most highly finished works by Michelangelo... Art is the Soul's Food

Pietà detail
"... But as beautiful and deep a rendition of Hebrew history Michelangelo created I am too deeply embedded in truth; historical truth, and it is impossible to get over the fact she looks nothing like an African woman from any part of the continent who would be able to hide in Egypt when her son was born!" - Gregory E.

A union of illuminated women could save the whole planet." Who first said these words I don't know, but I know them. I know from whence they've come. I learned them through my mother's life.

These words deeply said deeply felt shall return deeply implanted within the soul, the body and the mind of whomever lives these truths, and embodies this knowing beyond mere belief." - Gregory E. Woods 3.27.13

a STORY of MONEY

actress Kim Basinger

THE STORY

Kim Basinger bought a small town for $20 million and declared bankruptcy four years later. The rapper, and one of the best dancers of the 20th century, MC Hammer, earned $33 million at the height in his career and found himself bankrupt before the 1990's were done. He has since rebound, and Kim Basinger, I think has rebound. 

I don't know how to think about bankruptcy properly, as well as money or wealth. I am not alone. Most anyone who graduated from an American school graduated financially illiterate. By the time a person has plunged into marriage, the raising of a family and spent their first earned check they've been thrust into a rapid moving game bent on taking from you everything you earn, could earn, and any dream you have within you! That is how the world of money, credit and ownership presented itself to me as a young man. 

There was no time for the detail and the depth of study of finance. My pastor at the time, Bishop Ralph E. Green, was the first visionary I met on the subject of money. His ministry was a deliverance healing one. Finance was not his primary goal. He recognized a major problem in his church, studied it, and addressed it in the form of a 'wish list'. What I mean is a lot more than a simple-minded sermon about tithing to balance a budget. Bishop invited a small group of young men to his office one day to discuss business. In that meeting he discussed a multi-level marketing company, Shakley, and its income producing possibilities. He and his wife were making money from the product, and using it! The health benefits were noticeable, and the financial rewards and knowledge he wanted to pass on to us for our families financial security. He wanted to build a common sense legacy within each and everyone of his members. 

Bishop had a large church at the time. This meeting led to an announcement. He wanted 100 business owners and 100 ministers to arise from the ranks of his congregation, and that happened. He continued along the party lines of the movement of economic development espoused by Malcom X, Booker T. Washington, and later Jim Brown and other Black athletes in the late 1960's and back to the others who promoted economic independence within the Black American community. 

It was the drive of the vision from the man that first empowered me that eventually led me to a mentor. That is not to say I've become a wealthy man with a lot of money and property. No. It ain't so. My understanding has increased, but what I discovered was my relationship with money!

Where does the GODDESS live?

The Goddess form of a woman unfolds in the most intimate of moments, and not on a scheduled prompting. There are moments a woman, similar to cats,  gives in and relaxes into safe, and sacred space. In those precious moments she is making clear the Goddess within her. So often it has had to be hidden. In today's climate it can be in the open and not perceived.   The Goddess is, comes from and is like Kabbalah over the centuries appearing, and disappearing according to the clarity, or the blindness of people, their sharpness,  or the murkiness of their knowledge of light,  their study of  Creator's works, and the discipline of spirit in the work of becoming a deeper soul.©  Gregory E.

PETRA G.

One day I walked up and upon an Indian woman from behind unwrapping her sari. She didn't hear me so I froze where I was and beheld something I probably shouldn't have seen, but transfixed before the movements she made I couldn't feel myself turning away, or retracing my steps.

She was in her  safe place dreaming about what is important to her. Humming to herself the sari flowed with the melancholy of the refrain she hummed. The graceful nature of her hands combing her hair made the scene around her slow down. The small spring near by seemed excited about the prospect of her bathing. In a rural setting outside of Bombay where I lived the villages were ancient with time honored traditions unfamiliar to me. One I knew had to be in place was the danger I was in should she turn, scream and accuse me of something I'd not done, but may have thought about. It was frightening when I thought about it, but I couldn't think about it because there was something here I'd never known, and needed to know about.

It came from my dreams. It lingered around every Indian woman I'd seen in my lifetime, and now it was unwrapping before me not more than a few feet away from where I stood. "What should I do?" I asked myself.  With no answer coming forth I stood still, and became void of thought to become the land we stood upon, and I listened to the sound of my voice talking to the water spirits. Her voice talking to the water spirits did not recognize mine and looked up to see me there. The water spirits beckoned her. Nodding in my direction she followed their gaze, turned and saw me.

She didn't say a word, or appear afraid. She just stood as calmly as I matching her breath with the rhythm of my own breath I could barely hear myself. How did she, or how could she comprehend the cadence of my body from there?  I didn't know, but I did know she was looking at me very closely. Her breasts must have been as soft as they were round and full. I wondered. She looked up at me which meant she was looking at my body parts too.

"American man."

I nodded.

"Why are you here?"

I wanted to say, "For you." but that might lead to an uncomfortable conversation that would arouse suspicions. I didn't know what to say except the truth.

"I was just walking through the village. I apologize for intruding your privacy."

"What is your name?" she asked.

I couldn't contain the excitement I felt listening to her voice. Her voice seemed to belong to her, and it seemed to come from everything around her. Even the water spirits understood her, but I was a suspect in their presence, and they wanted to understand how I came to stand on the land.

"Why are you standing there?" she asked me. I had to answer, but how?

PART 42

"Mommy is a point where she does not speak English, and her voice is barely audible. It is small and the sounds are garbled. She communicates. In her silences she communicates, but you cannot understand her meanings. Sometimes the meanings are pressing against an unseen bulge of air we cannot feel, or see. The words, and the need and the intensity are pushing against any of us straining to hear her words.

Yesterday, I listened and then stopped listening until I heard, or saw what she was saying. It was so brief and clear, but because the art of stillness, for me, and the art of merging into Mommy’s awareness, and the ability to be present suspended my logic I could not retain the sentence long enough to write it down. I could have broke away from the moment, but it was primary to be in tune with Mommy, and not unwrap my arms from around her. I had to return to the present moment, and be with her silent, and listening to the winds of her Being playing the chimes hanging their in the thresholds of the worlds she is navigating, visiting and peering into..." - Gregory E.

PHOTOGRAPHER EXPOSES THE NYC EXPERIENCE, HERSELF

By Marina Galperina | March 23, 2011 - 11:40AM

Begging for change on Houston Street nude, browsing books at the NYU Library nude, buying a street hot dog nude – photographer Erica Simone created this series of self-portraits exposing herself all over New York City doing typical New York City things. Twenty photographs from Nue York are presented at Damon Dash’s gallery as evidence. See some below (NSFW) and… UPDATE: Erica Simone herself tells ANIMAL how she didn’t get arrested doing this.

Her philosophy? “Just being.” Her technique? Well, that’s kind of obvious. Her shockingly nonchalant approach and the ability to take self-portraits (with a timer?) while riding nude on a motorcycle through Tribeca? Impressive...

old GOING bad

small tits...

After 17 years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger woman. The downtown luxury apartment was in his name and he wanted to 
remain there with his new love so he asked the wife to move out, and then he would buy her another place. The wife agreed to this, but asked that she be given 3 days on her own there, to pack up her things. 

While he was gone, the first day she lovingly put her personal 
belongings into boxes and crates and suitcases. 

On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. 

On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their 
candlelit Dining table, soft music playing in the background, and 
feasted on a pound of shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay. 

When she had finished, she went into each room and deposited a few 
of the resulting shrimp shells into the hollow of the curtain 
rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. 

The husband came back, with his new girl, and all was bliss for 
the first few days. Then it started slowly, but surely. Clueless, 
the man could not explain why the place smelled so bad. 

They tried everything; cleaned & mopped and aired the place out. 
Vents were checked for dead rodents, carpets were steam cleaned, 
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought 
in, the carpets were replaced, and on it went. 

Finally, they could take it no more and decided to move. The 
Moving company arrived and did a very professional packing job, 
taking everything to their new home...

...including the curtain rods.

Question This?

a thought

A Brian Matthew Amaral said something provocative about this little observation. He said and I quote, "At least Hitler was a real person." Another man, John Landt took offense saying, "Hitler was a real depraved asshole, but sounds like he had more sense than you."

Me? I think Brian was trying to make sense of something that does not make sense to him. It is worthy of consideration, not ridicule. But I admit it is a subject, a discussion not for the timid.

EDUCATION of the Mind & Spirit

Angels All Around Us

An interesting thing about atheists I've found is their actions. They house a lot of anger against many a Christian's retreat from intellectual curiosity, spiritual responsibility, and pride in not knowing, or understanding in depth their religion, practice and consequences of belief and action. Proud, or ignorant of their contradictions many Christians have found a way to appear oblivious to the rippling effect of the choice to not know, or care, or understand what I've just said.

It is puzzling the fear surrounding belief, but understandable. Atheists are fascinating to me for several reasons. One is their commitment to righting wrongs, as they perceive them. Another is the fact of the number of atheists with Baptist and other denominations in their backgrounds. Their dissatisfaction with, and disassociation from Christianity comes from places many Christians are afraid to venture into, but I learned from that fear to accept the challenge to my beliefs. Why? I needed to know the circle of the stories I held dear. If I couldn't bear the scrutiny of intelligent minds how could I stand before the Creator and speak of my life and mind? - Gregory E.

a Portuguese poem

LAMPEJOS DO AMOR

Amar é delibar o condimento picante de uma afeição,
É provar do gosto apimentado que aquece a ilusão,
E poder desfrutar do néctar nutritivo do coração,
Sustentado pelo regozijo movedor do fogo da paixão!

Amar é entregar-se aos deleites, cobrir-se de alegria,
É dar-se ao prazer, revestir-se de sonhos e fantasia,
É pode renovar a alma e viver um mundo de utopia,
É burlar a tristeza versar a vida em aventura e euforia,

Amar é demudar o destino, esquivando-se da realidade,
É lutar pelos sonhos, inquirindo um ideal de liberdade,
É Intentar extrair da vida a frutescência da alacridade!

Amar é adocicar o paladar ardente alegado pela dor,
É refutar a solidão, fazer a vida reluzir todo seu fulgor,
É desfrutar da doçura do mel, temperado pelo amor!
