Genesis: another perspective

 Being raised in a Christian family, the story of the beginning of time that I grew up with was the story of creation, as told in the book of Genesis. I believe the church has a very narrow translation of this book of the bible and I would like to look at it a bit differently. So, to give it a different perspective, I am going to refer to God as Fred.

Fred built the heavens and earth... let's focus on the earth part. Then Fred saw he needed a caretaker and created Adam. This begs me to ask... created him from WHAT?

Okay, moving on, Adam was lonely, so he created Eve, but not the same way he created Adam... this time he took a part of Adam... a rib, looks kinda like a column, maybe a DNA column, that contains ALL information. He rearranged the substance, just a bit, to make a female version. This was “good”.

Fred didn't want his creations to be too smart, so he told them to stay away from those “trees” that would give eternal life and too much knowledge. Why did he put those in the garden of Eden anyway? That doesn't make any sense. 

The garden has gates, and things inside the garden operate differently than those outside, kinda like a biosphere. Eve and Adam are not to question anything... they are to serve, without question. This is what you expect from a slave, taking care of your biosphere.

Interestingly enough, other beings exist besides Fred. The story doesn't say he created any of the other beings, in fact, there are other gods in the vacinity... we will get to that in a minute.

Someone didn't like that Adam and Eve were kept as slaves, so they sneaked into the garden to give Adam and Eve “knowledge”. Fred is angry about this, now his slaves are questioning him and he kicks them out of the biosphere, opps, I mean the garden. He also curses the one who helped them. This sneaky one may been more of a friend to Adam and Eve then we realize. In fact, the way the sneaky one was vilified, makes me wonder if it was a woman. Freeing slaves sounds like something a woman would do. It might also explain why the bible seems to be so anti-woman.

Adam and Eve continued life and had kids. One of the eldest boys, Cain, kills his brother, Abel. Then Cain goes to the land of Nod, where there are already “lots” of other people. He marries a woman and builds a whole city. There is no mention as to how many other people were there, however, the story goes on to say how the daughters of men... these are the descendants of Adam and Eve's children, begin marrying the sons of gods.... yup, that's what it says. If you keep reading, you will see there are giants and other beings on earth too.

Okay, so if Adam was Fred's first creation of man, than maybe the other gods were responsible for the land of Nod and the giants that were already on earth. In fact, if a race of beings understood DNA, gene slicing, and a few other things just a little better than we do now, they would be seen as creators, as gods to all around them who did not know so much.

I wonder if the beginning of time actually refers to the beginning of the human as we know it... maybe humans were different before the biosphere experiment. Also, I wonder if, after kicking Adam and Eve out, Fred made new slaves to care for the garden, remember, it needs caretakers. Maybe Fred also removed those pesky trees.

I have been referencing only a small portion of Genesis; summarized and viewed from a different perspective.  I don't mean any disrespect to Fred, just using my questioning ability, some of my knowledge, which according to the Christian church is still not allowed if it questions Fred, opps, I mean God.

Just think, not too long ago in our history, we thought Kings had royal blood... “blue bloods”. This blood made them different from the common man. Who believes that now? We also thought that the earth was flat... and the sun revolved around the earth. To disagree with this or even question it, was heresy, witchcraft and it was a life sentence, often with a very cruel death.

I think those Christians owe those witchcraft people a really BIG apology. Throughout our history, we have claimed witchcraft when we get scared of the unknown. It turns out they were right about alot of things. If the people who are right are the only ones allowed to live, then the Christians should have all been killed and the "witchcraft" people should have lived. Wonder what kind of world we would live in now?

Or we could try living in harmony. I am grateful to live in a country, during a century, where I am "allowed" to believe what I choose without being burned at the stack.

Who is to say, that my version of Genisis is right or wrong... who was here? Who really knows? It is just an idea of another possibility. Who knows, maybe the Native American stories are correct and earth was born on the back of mother turtle. None of us “really” know, we only believe what we choose to believe.

Beyond Measure

THANK YOU!

Over the past few weeks, messages have been pouring in with many beautiful words of support and understanding regarding the shifting of my path and the hibernation of the GypsySun. Thank you.

I am blessed beyond measure with the many experiences and beautiful people who have visited the GypsySun and I have much love for this area. As new caretakers step into this role, please remember, the process of giving and receiving is how we ensure the places we love continue to exist. Through supporting the places you receive from, you enable their continuation.

May your mind be quiet so your heart can listen to the voice that speaks within, for this is where your joy resides. May we all live joyfully... many blessings!

The Heart's Calling

My heart calls for truth, the essence of who I am... to awaken.

I have touched joy and beauty that no words can properly describe, and yet, I have only touched it. Having found a path that allows me to stay in my divine truth, I am no longer willing to only visit this state of grace. I will follow this ascending path, listening to my heart, restoring my truth in every moment of every day. These are all inner changes and I will accept no other way.

The outer changes will cause some to be shocked, worried and angry, and yet, I see getting to the end of my life and realizing I missed my heart's calling is the only failure possible, for nothing prevents me, except for me.

This choice is different than what we normally see as it is beyond social expectations and the powers of governments. It is a divine path, beyond the mind's comprehension, that links with my heart. I wish all could understand and yet, I release this and accept all as it is.

As our paths cross on this journey we call life, may ever increasing joy and beauty be experienced by all. Many Blessings to you... for we are forever spirits. Namaste'

Acceptance

It has recently come to my attention that acknowledgement is seen as a form of acceptance to others and this same acknowledgement will draw more of what you are acknowledging into your reality. You may want to be aware of what you are acknowledging and in effect, you will be powerfully creating and choosing your life experiences.

Heaven on Earth

Boone, NC
I am savoring the morning as I watch the trees create clouds in the peaceful mountains of NC. The breath of Divinity whispers throughout this creation and I wonder why others have such a difficult time understanding that heaven is already on earth, they are missing it. Where is the key that will unlock the hearts and eyes of all to see the reality of our existence?

By the way, according to Real Facts at http://www.snapple.com/real-facts/.... In just one day, a full grown tree expels 7 tons of water through it's leaves.... see, trees really do make clouds.

Clear Intention

Just consider for a moment that
your focus right now is
creating your experience in life.

If this is the true, then is your intention clear?  Has all the confusion and clutter been eliminated so you can  clearly focus on your choices and desires in life?
     What will it take to get to this type of experience?

My dear friend, James, told me this morning, "The image you project onto the mirror will be brought to you by the universe." I believe he was trying to say that we don't have to run around trying to produce the results, we just need to be clear in our intention, in our focus about what we are asking.

In other words, present the image you prefer. Do it in joy, feel it, see it and then release it, allowing it to flow. If you hold on too tightly, you prevent the flow of movement, you prevent the growth. If you release it, knowing it will come to you, knowing the seed is growing, it will unfold, in time, when it is ready.

In this way, there is no stress, no worry. You can exist in a state of bliss. No more clutter, no more confusion. Instead, you can express and experience life in an ever-expanding state of joy.

Are you clear about what you are focusing upon? If not, go inward and become CLEAR.

Much love to you, for you are a Forever Spirit.

Layers in Understanding

Just when you realize you understand something, learn to understand that there is probably more to it than you realize. I am suggesting we understand things in layers. Part of the understanding comes and amazes us. We integrate it into our lives and then we feel we know it. We believe we are ready to move on. However, over time we learn and understand more and more and more.

This shifting goes on, endlessly. It has always happened. Every lifetime that has ever been lived has been about shifting. Sometimes it took a whole lifetime to get a major shift in awareness, but gradually, we, as humanity, have been shifting our awareness, becoming more enlightened.

Once we are able to clear our vision and see the truths, we are able to move to the next level. Then when we reach that level and our vision clears, we see more of the truth and we move to the next level, and so on and so on.

Recently I had a friend call me and with great excitement say... “I had a revelation yesterday. I finally understood what it means to live every moment in joy”......

After a long conversation on this topic, I asked him. “This is not a new concept to you. I am sure you have heard this over and over and over for YEARS. What happened yesterday that is different than all the days before? In fact, if you had to estimate how many times you have heard this phrase, what would that be?”

He answered, “I have heard it or said it at least 500 times and each time I thought I understood it, but yesterday, I really got it, I really felt it, I finally reached understanding with it.

This is a great example of the levels of awareness. Each moment is taking you into your next moment. It may have taken 500 moments of contemplating this concept for him to finally get it. In truth, I believe he got it each time and yet, each time brought a new level of awareness. He feels he finally understands it completely and I feel that perhaps even now there are more levels for him to grasp.

For being “in the moment” means you are joyful for the moment just as it is. Many times we can experience this moment, but how long can you stay in this space and how deeply does it affect you?

I am not suggesting we put on rose colored glasses and pretend all is okay (but, what if it is?). I am suggesting that we can really only focus on one thing completely, at a time. If you can choose your one thing out of the variety of options available to you, and you choose joy, then you can experience joy in almost situation.

This is the shift we are in right now, waking up to our neighbors around the world, honoring that each person has the Divine right to joy. Through having our basic survival needs met and our ability to enjoy freedom & health, we could all live in joy. Those of us who already know this are waking up to the joy in each moment.

It has taken all of the years before, all of the lifetimes before, all of the thoughts before to bring us to this place.  The shift I am seeing in so many people is this shifting to their own Divine connection to their inner joy. The shift is always happening. It will never stop. It will always continue.

As we continue to open up as a global society, we will continue to learn. As each person hears the concept of finding joy in each moment, it will take time for understanding to come... and this understanding will continue to expand.

The expansion and growth of our reality has a long way to go before we, as a society have a real understanding of who we are and why we are here. Some are on the brink of this discovery and yet, the more they go into it, the more they will understand that it is a never-ending discovery of joy.

This shifting of awareness will continue your whole life, into the next life, into the next. You will learn more and more and more. This process doesn't stop. It will not stop at 2012, it will not stop in 20 years, it will not stop. You created this process so you could experience the joy of creation; the joy of awakening. Once you understand this concept, feel it, know it and really “get” it.... you will see that the awareness keeps opening up to you.

If you accept that the Creator made all things, than you must accept that all is Divinely created. This implies there is not randomness, but all is in Divine Order. If all is in Divine Order than everything happening around us is suppose to be happening. It is Divinely inspired and ordered to bring us to the next level.

If you wish to experience more joy... it isn't about your job, your parents, your spouse, your job or your children. Nothing that surrounds you can provide you with true joy. 


The only true source of JOY is within you. 


Here's what you should look for...

• Watch for the one that is within you that lives in integrity even when no one is looking.
• Watch for the one that is within you that sees the light and joy in all situations, for it is always divinely there.
• Watch for the one that is within you that understands you are different and who loves that about you, but also knows you are one with All.
• Watch for the one that is within you that agrees to disagree, not having to be right, not having to make someone else wrong.
• Watch for the one that is within you that speaks truth to others, for this same part will be honest with yourself.
• Watch for the one that is within you that shares joy openly, for that is your true desire.
  
  
  Once you find this within you, apply your focus to it's growth and IN-JOY your life!

“The learning goes on as the joyful expansion of awareness continues. I reach out my awareness into each aspect and see Me. In each moment I hold a tenderness for the individual perspective of me, a great love and joy in the inner discovery. Why would I ever stop this beautiful expanding love affair with myself? In fact, eternity may not be long enough.”
