Tears for Empowerment
We are
standing in a portal time. We are between two
eclipses, and between two realities. Do you feel
the depth of connection to spirit that is possible,
as well as the disconnection that is manifesting in
the outer world? As we
approach the second eclipse, (a total eclipse of
the sun) on December 4th, the power of our own
masculine shadow side will be revealed to us. In
this next week or so that which is not of true
spiritual power will be brought up, so that we may
'choose again'. In particular watch for habits in
the form of beliefs about vicitimhood, or about
having to do things because no one else will. These
are up for major change! Below is an
excerpt of a letter I wrote to Marianne Williamson,
regarding women, tears, and empowerment. "Lazarus
was ill. Martha and Mary put forth a call
for Jesus to come and heal him. Upon
arriving Jesus found that rather than step
into their own power and connect with the
Holy Spirit to bring about healing for
Lazarus, Martha and Mary had spent their
energy to find Jesus and ask him to do it
for them. The tears that Jesus shed were
not for Lazarus, for Jesus knew he was not
lost, but rather because his closest
disciples, Martha and Mary, had not
learned the most basic of lessons; that
the Holy Spirit is available to
everyone. "In
that moment, Jesus realized that they were
not owning their own power to connect with
God, through the Holy Sprit. This was the
single most important aspect of his
ministry &endash; that EVERYONE,
regardless of gender, of social cast or
race, has an innate connection with
spiritual energies. "In
that one single moment, Jesus realized
that Martha and Mary, had they taken upon
themselves their rightful cloak of
spiritual power, could have stood between
heaven and earth, between God and man,
allowing the power of the Holy Spirit to
infill them and so draw through the body
of Lazarus his rightful health. In doing
this, the two women would have become
symbols of the power and potential of God.
What reality would have been created if
these two women had stood with Jesus in
such a manner?" The winter
solstice will draw through each of us our own
sacred male energies. When this happens (it will be
an ongoing process through mid-Feb) whatever
beliefs we have will shape how we access and
utilize these energies. So, beliefs about not being
good enough (or not having enough) will cause
sacred masculine energies to turn at odd angles and
create anger, even rage. This
emotional turmoil is actually our sacred energy
attempting to find a clearer path through our
bodies. Rage is an amazing bolt of energy that can
clear out years and years of stored and blocked
energies. By letting ourselves feel this power, in
the form of emotion, we open our hearts to the
infilling power of spirit. By going all
the way through an emotion, by "crying all the
tears" as Marianne puts it, we allow the deep
learning from spirit to enter and move through our
hearts. As we stand
with an open heart, spirit moves fully through us.
In the moment of witnessing any event with this
openness of heart, we allow spirit/God to be
present with that event. As we face anything,
spirit moves through our hearts into the situation.
God is always present, because we are present. As
Hildegard wrote, "What great compassion allows
divine presence in earthly mire, so that those
angels ministering with God, might see God in the
faces of humanity." As we each
open our hearts more fully we become those angels
ministering with God, to the God in each
other. My love,
empowerment and blessings to each one. Norma Gentile

Dear
Friends,
With the coming winter solstice (December 21) we
choose again. Do you wait for another to manifest
spirit into your life? Or do you step into the fire
of the Holy Spirit, of God becoming You, and
express that aspect of God which is your uniqueness
to reveal as the face of God upon the
earth?
