Gav,

I'm enjoying your posts.  (I am now watching the fifth season of McLeod's

Subject: [MD] cheryl and lisa - wise women part 2


as i was saying.........
whilst i was staying with susie i became friends with a woman called cheryl,
who worked part-time for her. cheryl was very different from susie. at first
i thought she was quite diffident but really this was just in relation to
susie. cheryl was the same age as suse but very gentle and unassuming. she
obviously cared deeply for susie but where susie was brusque cheryl was
accommodating. 

it took me a couple of weeks to begin to appreciate her wisdom. but
gradually it became apparent, and eventually i sought out her advice
directly.

cheryl had been devoted to a spiritual path since she was in her teens. when
her friends began boozing and partying she went to live in an ashram. at
first i prejudged her as a new age cliche...how wrong i was.
 
the first intimation i had was when i first talked to her at length. susie
was away and i was looking after the farm alone for a few days. cheryl came
in to do some work and we ended up talking for an hour or so. at first i
thought i was just being cordial...eventually my ego subsided enough for me
to enjoy her presence properly.

still it wasn't til i had a bit of the stir-craziness going on that i rang
cheryl and asked if i could visit (she lived only a mile away); she acceded
and i had a remarkable afternoon with her.

cheryl did my cards, at my prompting. the reading was profound and i
remember feeling tingles as she laid it on me.

without going into depth a lot of what susie helped reveal has already come
to pass... with unnerving precision. perhaps one day i will share with you
guys the specifics...suffice it to say it was the most terrifying experience
of my life.

because of the reading i have been able to integrate and understand the
experience....enough to retain my sanity. when cheryl talked to me the chat
was secondary (i realise now); all the time she was sending me love by
grasping my attention (at first i just thought she talked a lot).

and then there is lisa. 
after my terrifying ordeal in cairns i was fortunate enough to be rescued by
my friend ana and her mentor lisa. 

ana i have known for a few months. she is my age, a newly free woman after
her 3 kids have grown up and are now spending time with their father. lisa,
who is the woman who delivered ana's twin boys, lives on the land near
kuranda, 30 mins from cairns, in the mountains. she goes barefoot, is a
tireless help to many aboriginal women and their families, and is
instrumental in most things dealing with permaculture, sustainable
agriculture, seed saving in the tablelands area.

i spent two nights with ana and lisa and this time, by the campfire and at a
film night she organised, grounded me after i had been shown the dangerous
power of my own mind in cairns two nights before.

lisa is of indeterminate age...perhaps 50, perhaps 65. she exudes wisdom and
love. she has been camping on her land, cooking food on an open fire and
collecting water from the wild river her land borders for the last two
years. kuranda is a consiousness hot spot. the indigenous folk here are
obviously more respected and represented than elsewhere. it was here, over
the last two weeks, that i for the first time experienced the natural and
disarming generosity of spirit these embattled folk still retain.

lisa helped me realise/remember that suffering is relative and life is not
necessarily predicated on strife. life is always drama enough to evolve its
partcipants, whether we enable a golden age or no. the learning continues,
indeed it only becomes deeper when the superficial vicissitudes borne of
human ignorance cease to occupy the bulk of our attention. 

lisa was pure; that is the word. she had become a vessel. she is a clear
prism.

i cannot explain what a humbling experience it is to be with a person of
such heart. indeed it is daunting...the ego reacts negatively to such a
presence....it is a narcissistic affront. 

it is only through a sort of abasement that one is able to genuinely commune
with such people...and please do not take this as being some sort of
submission/subsubservience. rather it is a discipline. it requires continual
focus....so that any reactive self-reference is ignored.

we all talk about lofty and very important things...here especially. this
list *is* a great way of anchoring, and progressing higher levels of
consciousness in the world...but those that take the full responsibility
upon themselves....these folk that live the truth as well as describe
it....it is these folk that make you realise that heaven really is inside
us...it makes you realise that jesus (and many others like him) lived and
was a vehicle for the 'miraculous' (a miracle being some occurrence that we
are not sophisticated enough to explain).

it makes you realise that the future is written in mud, and that mud becomes
clay and then stone. in other words fate and free will coexist. there are
somethings we cannot avoid perhaps, but there is always more than one
future.

it is not a question of 'if' but 'when'. change will be effected by us or
effected upon us depending upon the conscious acts of us all. it is fucking
daunting....but it is also liberating. the collective consciousness (mythos)
manifests reality, consciously or unconsciously. there is no 'away' to run
to.

manifestation. we have known the score all along. the magician card - le
bateleur - says it all. this is ancient knowledge....this is the answer to
all conspiracy theories. it begins with thought...with the word.

how do we express it in moq terms? maybe this is the import and purport of
the intellect that we have ignored thus far. each new static level redifines
the lower ones. recreates reality? or is this just the privelege of the
intellectual level? 

the intellectual level effects what campbell calls 'creative mythology';
that is intellect enables us to directly, consciously, participate in our
own (spiritual) evolution. 

this is what 2012 is about. this is why the mayans gave no glyph, no totem
to this coming age...it is the end of time....the end of history as
ineluctable process and the beginning of conscious co-creation...
