The Hero's Journey

Bill Moyers Interviewing Joseph Campbell.

Two legends having a conversation regarding 'The Hero's Journey'.

It all starts when you live from the heart.
Surrender to Destiny.

You will be self realised when you find your place in the story. That's all!
There is no need to save the world.

You become the hero, when you follow your bliss ...
... and when you start your journey you will know it, because you will be challenged like never before.

It's heroic, because it's not for the weak of heart.

The Hero's Journey Unfolding

I had a sudden flash, insight today. It came from nowhere, an overwhelming feeling to go to my tower on the hill, kneel on the altar and pray.

I entered and knelt on the massive stone (my altar?) looking east, straight out through the door of my tower. There I see before me, framed perfectly within the door way of my tower, the concrete dwelling of my nemesis.

This is no accident. This is no mistake. This is meant to be.

Something is playing out here that has humbled me to my core. I prayed for forgiveness, forgiveness for making judgements, forgiveness for my arrogance. I meditated and felt this truth. This is the hero's journey playing out.

Through the same man that I receive my nemesis, I also receive a special gift of love. Who is this man? Is he a shaman, or is he a trickster? Perhaps it depends on how his gifts are received.

I give thanks for insight and continually pray for guidance on this hero's path.

Give Back to Caesar

In my waking hour, as I peer into the silent cavities of my heart, I find desires that are not of my choosing. They are written on the walls of my heart. They echo through the chambers to me as my calling. Connected to something far greater than just personal desire. Something to do with destiny, the way, the high way.

If I follow this path and look deeper, I become a silent witness to the unfolding and aligning of the internal 'designs' and the world I see around me. My mind is blown. It cannot comprehend such 'magic'. A mystery. My life becomes full of wonder. I am humbled by this force/intelligence/love that guides my life. I put my hands together in gratitude for the gifts that are bestowed upon me. What great fortune. So grateful I am of this fortune that I have discovered.

Maybe this is the richness that everyone so desperately seeks nowadays but rather than following the golden path become corrupted by the false idea that money is the key to some kind of treasure in life. Perhaps it acts more like a lock that keeps us behind bars of captivity. Jesus said 'Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's'. He's saying follow your heart, because God speaks through the heart.

I'd like to say that my time with Caesar is done, but I may still have to pay him one more visit and take from him what he owes to God.

Prayer to the Moon

As the super moon arose over the mountains of the star last night,
I put my hands together in prayer.
I asked for light to shine on my vision, my purpose, my path.
As I walked in contemplation a fortuitous omen appeared.
Bio luminescent beings that shine their light from within. Fireflies.
A little message to me, showing me that the light is within.

Waking in my dream

Walking in my dream.
Waking in my dream.
A King I become.
Akin to the way.
Kin to all.
In Love.
I am.

Ride Natty Ride

Some people got everything
Some people got nothing
Some people got hopes and dreams
Some people got ways and means.

Wise words from a prophet of our times.

He spoke about surviving, through the injustice of inequality.

There is a tribe arising that I've seen, that seem to be focusing not on surviving, but on prospering, in unity and community, while caring for their mother, mother earth. It has been recognised. I have seen it. Others also are witnessing it and talking about it.

It has been prophecied by the North American Indians. They are called 'Warriors of the Rainbow'.

I have seen the Rainbow Warriors coming to the rise. To me, they've appeared in an area called the Rainbow Region of Australia (See also 'Northern Rivers NSW'). I have experienced the region. I did my PDC there in 2009 (more or less) and what I experienced recently when I went back to visit again has given me great inspiration [Google 'Bentley Blockade']. I spent 5 days there helping out in the Camp Liberty Kitchen. What I saw was awesome. I always knew that our social and political problems could be dealt with in new and creative ways, and now I've seen it, in action, and work! Activism is an evolving art. The Rainbow Warriors are full of gifts for the greedy and medicine for the weak hearts (No weak hearts shall prosper). I have seen the treasure of community, and now know that it is there. I'm connected to that! With this I walk, knowing that it's possible. It is not a pie in the sky, nor is it perfect, for there is no such thing. It is life, in it's full! Living with heart. Not being afraid to stand up, as one, and in unison, for what is known in the heart to be right. To express a truth that needs hearing. Rainbow Warrior tribes are appearing everywhere. I feel it happening around me. I'm witnessing it. No water can put out this fire.

Be open, no one knows the way.
Be here, lose yourself in the moment.
Be truthful. It takes courage sometimes, but it's good for the heart.

Love to all fellow beings who share the same dream. And Love also to all those who oppose it, for they test us to see how true we are to ourselves and to our special gift, given to us by Jah's Love.

How can we speak our truth in peace, and with heart, so that we can come to recognise a higher truth together, or sometimes just the plain truth? Non Violent Communication is a start. Have no expectations as to where it will end.

Speaking truth is an art, and highest love to the artists who wipe the canvas clean. In the Land of Light we have a revered sage called Mooji. A sage living in the land of light. How interesting. I would like to visit him, but only if I need advice on something, but then again what better advice can he give other than accepting and trusting? Besides that, I know that he will only lead me back to my Father's peace of land where I am.

How mystical is life.

Dear Father Forgive Me

Dear Father,

I ask for forgiveness.

I was not strong enough to bear the weight of your tears on my shoulders, when you suffered the loss of your love. Now that you've gone, I feel it so deeply and only wish you were here so that I could have your strong shoulders to cry on.

I didn’t know that I would miss you so much when gone.
I remember your warm and fatherly embrace.
Your advice and guidance. Your beautiful face.
I didn’t know that you would appear as a light in my darkest hour.

I ran from you, without knowing what significance you would have in my life.
You taught me how to walk. You helped me when I fell over. You showed me the way.
Through all my fallings and failings you showed me love and compassion.
You gave me everything I needed to walk my path, with heart.
Just sometimes I get lost and forget, like today.

I’m trying to be strong, like you asked of me, but I’ve fallen down.
I am trying to get up, but it’s hard. I know you know how hard life can be.
You are not here, but know that if you were, would take me in your arms and carry me.
I’m just sorry that I was not strong enough to carry you through your hard times papa.

I will forever be in debt to you,
I have not forgotten the dream.
I carry it in my heart.
And to that I shall remain true.

Your loving Son.
