Touch, a touch.

Monica Bellucci, a study of gentleness to breasts, heart to soul, eye to details within. . .

This mystery I know: Some elements tells their own stories, some gentleness releases judgment from the marrow of the bones of indifference and some women's mere look into a matter changes the tone of grief, the mood from wanting to take, to needing to give. There is no easy way to describe what was meant to be felt. There are words, but words meant for creation cannot capture essence the way a look can create a force within... - Gregory E.

"Helen Mirren as a young woman! I would not have stood up and took notice to her then, the way her older years engraved beauty into womanhood continually startles me!' - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/15/18

"So that's what she looked like! I never was so struck by Helen Mirren until she became an older woman! It is the reversible, but maturity has a deepening!. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

in thought, in reflection, in deed.

Isabella, in thought, as a thought amongst those living introspective tones we feel, is part of flow we want to be a practice. A healing practice is to supersede the lust to see the woman's place in divine order. How a woman fits into divinity a man can grasp is in the concept of beauty within Creation coming from the words that express and create Life.

If Life is a series of agreements it is Word that is Life.

Painting what WE Know.

To trust ourselves is an art. We are unsure after so many breakups with our beliefs. To trust oneself is a difficult love affair. Religion, society, politics have broken our hearts. Burned by our beliefs, we are exhausted. But our knowing has never died. Ask yourself right now: "Whom do I trust?" "Do I trust myself?" "Do I know things that nobody can prove?" - Durga Holzhauser (Feb 22, 2017)

"Creativity is inherent in the fireball of this universe, it is for you too.

You were created by all elementary particles of the universe."

"Own your voice." The original intention of God was to have just that for us. Unaware of it, or afraid of it, or taught out of it one person after another lives part of their lives, then they die. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/18/17

Good taste is a premium in the art of photographing Black women. Forsaking the temptation, the inclination to debase them photographers like Brian Jude and Roland Dawson strive to remain joyous and serious in the their endeavor to portray their people's women in the light of who they are and address the 'why' of their existence creatively. I appreciate their art. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/18/17

IN a WORD

Daily Word January 15

I keep my vision positive

When world conditions seem to suggest chaos, we find peace by keeping the high watch with our mental vision focused on Spirit. Because we know Infinite Wisdom resides within, we regularly take time to examine our thinking and speaking. It is too easy to fall into habits that don't express the person we want to be.

So we take a moment to step back and focus our attention on the big picture. We ask ourselves: Is Spirit at work in this situation? Are we responding in faith by remaining focused on divine activity? The spirit of CREATOR within is the answer to every question of our hearts. Through divine wisdom, we keep our vision positive.

Glance: a look within.

"Deepest powers live where dwells the conflicts between life and death. When the possibility of resurrection enters this realm new birth is possible. The place between a woman's legs is not a place. It is space, divine kinship with elements away from the clutch of crude spirits if a woman has those powers, and between her head, her heart, her vagina is the womb Creation came from! Of course, a nigger wouldn't get this. A concubine would not understand her role if set in these times and the preacher would not understand what his Christian faith did not need him to grasp. . . Now, there's a riddle to existence!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Feb. 24, 2017

ELDER SPEAKS of many

Grandfather teaching: 

child development 

"Great truth that transcends Nature does not pass from one being to another by way of human speech. Truth chooses Silence to convey her meaning to loving souls." On another point in the spiritual science of introspection and observation and merging with the great mysteries of Life, the poet and mystic, Kahlil Gibran also noted, "There is something greater and purer than what the mouth utters. Silence illuminates our souls, whispers to our heart, and brings them together. Silence separates us from ourselves, makes us sail the firmament of spirit, and brings us closer to Heaven; it makes us feel that bodies are no more than prisons and that this world is only a place of exile."

So the obvious questions come from silent places to ask you, "Do you want to exist or soar?"

These are options. One soars in the spirit by choice, but how does that happen if you are an adult who either lost, or forgot their childhood's magic? What if it was stolen? Most people don't know there are children who never settle into their bodies. Those special souls need to be approached and taught differently. The spirit animals who followed them to Earth, our Mother are visible and present. If not, the sadness between the two is suffocating. Dragons, Owls, Thunderbirds, Bears and other animals accompany souls and maintain direct penetration into their psyche from birth to the grave. How people manage to be ignorant of these things baffles me and isolates the child in the adult. What is easiest to understand is the relationships between the worlds.

The Christians don't know by their storytelling how Eve and Adam made the transition from formlessness to form. Eve was the first. She was the facilitator for Adam, who struggled the most against his helplessness. That drama was the first for the Hebrew people's knowledge of self. For other groups upon this Earth plane they have their creation stories that inform them of the particular kind of struggles made to move from formlessness to form. There is no set standard. There is only magic, knowledge, chance and play within the imagination that makes our dream come true, and allows our dragons, and other spirit animals to stay alive in our lives committed to the Earth plane.

The largest struggle magical or spiritual people have is with the cultural tendencies to remove people from direct contact and intimate relationship with the Earth, our Mother. Are you one of those people? If so, magical creatures will continue to come your way to play and interact with you as an adult until you relax into the exchange and become yourself. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10.29.14

A Mythical Creature



Arazel, as a mythical creature

July 19, 2014 ·

 

"What a powerful and somehow incomprehensible show of concepts, myth, and creation stories intertwined within a subconscious world where myth, archetypes, and creation stories abide with the misconceptions modern life replaces magic with sin and lowered expectations from the fears that drive lifestyles, fashion, and making a living takes over as a child becomes an adult without initiations..." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Oct. 14, 2015)  

 

A Mystery Teaching Us

God's Power Is Greater Than Your Problem
Rev. Dr. Sinclair Grey III 

God can make anything that appears impossible a reality. In other words, what may not make sense to you or seem logical in your sight isn't a problem for Almighty God. I need to say that again. With God, all things are possible because nothing is bigger than God and nothing is too difficult for our God to handle. All you have to do is be obedient to His will and trust Him without doubting. 

The Bible tells us when Abraham and Sarah had surpassed their biological years of having a child that God stepped in and reversed what seemed impossible. How so? Because God promised them a child. As you and I know, when God promises, He delivers. Through God's omnipotence, "The Lord dealt with Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised. Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the time of which God had spoken to him." Please don't miss this. Never doubt God. Never question His love for you. And never think your situation is too difficult for Him.


KNOW THIS:


The lesson of Sarah and Abraham extends into the realms of sexual potency. It is a deep undertaking into the restorative powers of sex, and the resurrection principles sexual energies. It isn't the easiest thing for me to put into English, but being 100 years old Abraham's life force has a significance in its symbolism. I am outside of the lexicon of canon law teaching into the mysticism of thought, action and purpose attempting to explain it. .

First of all we are thinking and thought needs to know it has a beginning. Beyond that where this teaching comes from the archetype within this story is the unthinkable life-death, abstract principle of all that is and all that is not. This the where the beat and the pulse of life-death-resurrection is projected into temporal continuity. This is a battle, a struggle not forever going on, but constantly in motion within the life of the body. It lived in Sarah and Abraham as it does in us all.

Sarah and Abraham came together as promised and their sex was born again into a light and a source of everlasting power not because Sarah was an extraordinary lover, but she and her husband were recipients of particular power(s). Abraham in covenant relationship with his death, and Sarah deeply embroiled in the mysterious aspect of blood and water exalted the principle of life-death beyond the simple understanding of 'in the beginning' tied themselves together and every aspect of Creation acted through their projection against itself and became cosmically deathless.

They destroyed illusion. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.18.13

It is Comforting

The truth of a woman is how powerful her presence extends into lives, how far her goal, how luminous her vision, how firm her conviction, and grip upon integrity. Her beauty rests within these ideals and her ideals rest in the beauty of what she knows to be true. It is truth that is beautiful. It is comforting that truth appears despite its opposition. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.3.13

8 Forces = Creation

hair flung into the air by belly dancer

During the years time moved around and gave me age I've thought about the so-called struggle with the Devil, and I began to see the emphasis on him as a Magician's Trick; a clever way of throwing out of sync where the focus of spiritual work should be: within. Not only is the universe reflected within our being the shadows and the light of our souls is reflective of the elements that compose Creation. Creation is a dance of elements. It is math and law, as Old Man taught me over the same years that gave me age, and insights.

Morihei Ueshiba, who founded Aikido, observed and shared that "Eight forces sustain creation: movement and stillness, solidification and fluidity, extension and contraction, unification and division."  When the Sioux war chief, Sitting Bull was in a battle he said, "Today is a good day to die, for all the things of my life are here." Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the Light..."

These are long ways of men saying what women teach by their powers of Birth. Life-death-resurrection is the fundamental thread within the mystery teachings of Judaism, and from the ancient mysterious of the Egyptians, and many other indigenous traditions lives these sensible  observations felt in the way one lives with the Earth, our Mother.

War-like cultures have to have an enemy. Islam talks about the holy jihad as the inner battle, or struggle one undertakes within one's soul between light and dark, good and evil. These themes are fundamental to growth, and uncovering the mysteries we come from and are born into and are compelled to explore. If one needs a devil to focus on to become his/her best self; so be it. It is just that Old Man forbade me giving Satan any energy by acknowledging, or saying his name. Old Man said Christians say his name, and gave him more credit for things than they do Jesus!
