(((o))) drumweaver: drumtime - a remembering and a call to return to my self caring...

Whoa! ...talk about timing tonight!

And i guess, no accident either....

Every once in a while, one comes across a piece of writing, a song or some art or whatever that comes at exactly the time one needs it and this has happened for me tonight... from an email i received just a little while ago.... and i just have to share it because it has moved me to a place i have been yearning for of late...

The timing is perfect because the last little while has been particularly a trying time for me in some ways... in addition to life being waaay too busy and crazy with too many things to do and attempting to get done - you know that saying, "it never rains but it pours" kind of time?... and it's at these times when i know for myself, that i can get a little lost and disconnected from my source... and when that happens, well... let's just say... i've been feeling a tad alone in it all... and so... i've been asking for some help and guidance re all that...

and, bonk!... the teaching-time comes yet again (thanks Rafiki!)..............

I'm not sure what these beautiful words really have to do with drumming but what i do know is that when i drum, connecting with the drum's sacred voice is one of the ways... one of my ways (practice) - slipping me into the present moment of the now - connecting me to my god/ess self and within sacred sound source... the great spirit of all... and i quite love that feeling and space to reside in... feel like i totally belong there for sure... (((o)))

and so... tonight i wanted to share these words so beautifully written by Jafree Ozwald - so that this wonderful teaching and may also move and inspire you too...

Thank you great spirit for all that i am and all that i do because everything comes from you... ! -- weaver (((o)))

So... below is some very deep teaching to share with you all - enjoy!

...blessings with much light dear ones... weaver (((o)))

How to Start the Spiritual Adventure of your Life

Would you like to have a spiritual experience that is truly profound?

If you want to explore a state of real everlasting pleasure, deep reservoirs of bliss, and exquisite peaks of freedom, then open yourself to seeing everything in your life as a spiritual adventure. This means that you're always relating to every experience from the soul's perspective. You see the cosmic play happening in front of you on the great stage of the world. All relationships are your mirrors, reflecting back you what may be seen or unseen inside.

As you begin realizing that you and everyone else are infinite spiritual beings, who are eternal, infinite, timeless, who were never born and will never ever die you stop taking everything soooo darn seriously. When you deeply understand this spiritual truth in all that you do, within each moment of your interactions with others and the internal dialog within you, then your most typical day of your life becomes exotically filled with the succulent sweetness of your soul. Life instantly becomes an enlightening magical joy ride when you are using each precious moment of your day to relate to yourself (and others) as if this is a grand spiritual play.

The secret to tapping into this knowing is realizing that as an infinite soul you must already be intimately connected to an infinite source of intelligence, love and freedom. We'll call this unnamable source "The God Source" for lack of a better expression.

This divine God Source is an all-loving, all-powerful, infinite source of divine intelligent joy, peace and abundance that can always be found within you. It's good to know that all problems in your life start from feeling a lack of this connection.

You cannot have a problem, worry or fear when you know this all-powerful Source is always here now, instantly and easily available to assist you at any moment you are in need.

The magic comes in when you start knowing this Truth with every cell of your body.

I invite you to do a fun spiritual exercise with your soul this week. Practice imagining that you are constantly having a one-on-one personal conversation with the God Source. Visualize the communication doorway is always open and the exchange of divine information is forever flowing between you and pure Universal intelligence.

You don't have to know God personally to make your grand introduction, and often its better that you have no preconceived idea what God looks, feels or sounds like.

Be brave and step into the unknown!

This exercise is about going through your ordinary routine that you do every week, yet acting as if the all mighty wisest master of masters is having a dialog with you.

Be conscious, present and honor the communication that happens by offering your deepest con cerns, questions, and problems you're truly facing.

If you've tried to make this connection in the past and find you always hit a block, wall or some doubt that distracts you or completely stops you from feeling connected, take a deeply look and feel into what that really is. Bring this topic to the conversation table.

Often whenever we have a certain blocked energy inside us, it's a cry for healing and fuel for a profound transformation in life. Anytime you hit a block or wall in life is good. For it simply means your mind/body is calling to become lighter and move beyond this heaviness inside. It's often the first baby steps in this great spiritual adventure that become the most revolutionary. The smallest adjustment to ones perception of reality can create a monumental change in the entire direction your life takes you.&nb sp;

By opening the mind to a small shift in perception, your heart can instantly open up and feel reconnected with something that we can only call The Absolute Divine.

To tap into this divine relationship, you must be very humble, extremely quiet and deeply patient inside if you wish to make this connection real.

As you allow your ego/mind to take a back seat and practice being receptive to whatever information shows up, I believe you'll be very surprised at what happens. There is a very old Zen saying which goes like this..."the quieter you can become, the more you're able to hear."

By quieting the mind we automatically are falling deeper within ourselves and getting closer towards this divine source. You don't have to struggle inside or push far beyond the stars to create this connection. Establishing this divine relationship means you're willing to give up your "Lone Ranger" attitude in life, and accept the fact that you are never alone.

You must admit that God has always been here, and always willing to give you instant access to profound states of love, empowerment, feelings of abundance and joy that are more amazing than you could ever imagine.

Anytime you are alone is the most powerful time to practice turning your attention inside and allowing this divinely honest conversation to unfold within.

This highest conscious intelligence knows you better than you know yourself so you don't have to be embarrassed, guilty or shy about anything. It's already seen you before you were even naked.

The God Source has already been listening to your plight from the very beginning, and can only respond with the most gentle, benevolent, infinitely loving and forgiving kindness, so you have nothing to lose but your grip on the ego/mind. Whenever you feel separate, alone and isolated, it is the ego/mind that is creating this illusion and this intimate conversation is most powerful way to break free from it.

Science has already proven the quantum field of energy around us is an "intelligent soup" that we cannot be separate from. Every thought and feeling passing through you is a free ticket to realizing this. The God Source knows what thoughts you need to wake up, and is constantly redirecting the experiences to you which will bring you home to your highest self. Don't judge your experience no matter how horrifying it may seem.

There are no mistakes in this all-intelligent conscious soup; it always knows what's best for your soul's highest evolution. Your job is simply to be receptive, and allow yourself to receive the greatest wisdom and life direction you are needing.

In time you'll find this divine conversation will offer the best guidance you could ever ask for, and you'll soon realize that you were never ever alone.
