Thread 8 part 1

Mystery Visions Reasons of Love. The mystery is the void. The void is the place where all Life Matter awaits unification with all like matter.

Mystery is the colors of blue and red which form purple, mulberry and pink when unity occurs as complete.

Mystery is the more feminine encounter of wholeness and is considered to be the Womb of Life, where spirit and matter meet in co-creation.

Mystery is patient, waits, ponders, and realizes the visions of love's dream.

Mystery is receptive.

Mystery is like a bowl, seed and crevice

Story:Deep within the woods lives a tenderness. A, tenderness that is not easily reached by the scattered and obstructed thought.

To reach this place 'deep within the forest', one must be keen in sense and aware in thought.

Be careful in your desire to play within the woods, for the mystery of all life lives freely here.

Here, deep within the woods, All Life is honored as SACRED. The sacred is not just a fleeting thought,

Rather it is WAY of BEING.

All senses and aspects are complete within the Mystery of the Woods. Life is free and boundaries are set, honored and respected. Domestication is not of One sort, but rather is a common agreement of versatility of all peoples of the forest.

So it is that the Hawk flies by day while Owl sleeps in the hole of the tree. And it is that at night Owl flies while Hawk is guardian of the nest.

Geese are the guardians of the river as they play and scout in large numbers on the wave of the flowing river. And nested in the brush of willow the deer, doe and fawn are quietly hidden from plain sight. Aware of surrounding by the call of geese.

Granite rock, pristine mineral and crystallized forms bring nutrients and energy to the water and dirt while Father Sun rays down warmth. Unison is met and life flourishes in peaceful abundance as life seeded, tended and loved.

Great Mother Mystery uses every part of herself to replenish her children. She does this through the warming heart rays of Father Sun, husband, partner spouse. Together they are the warmth, shelter, comfort of the womb of existence, the Reason that Visions Love.

Thread 8 part 2

Aspects

Aspects in Imagination as Gratitude create Images of Love. Gratitude is the Image to Love.

Living life in Unity occurs here deep within the Eternal Aspects of Life. Partnership on every level creates and ego/soul unification. From this unification all life and creation are birthed in the wisdom's truth as powerful thoughts of co-creation. Deep within the soft caverns, spiritual earth and deep recesses of cosmic spirit; mental, emotional and physical existence gives way to a co-creation of new form and new life is co-created.

Work; Friends; Vehicle; Family; Home; Partnership are unified as the Ego/Soul in Unity. Unity is the union of ego/soul. A union in partnership continually and mysteriously provides in the ever eternal expansion of aspects from which to grow. From this wisdom daily learning about the common and uncommon love in great mystery just happens. And from this simple gratitude of living the sacred in the sacred, life happens as happiness.

Within the sacred the arrogant must be very careful in asking to cross, pass through the forest. For Mother Earth, Great Mystery, The Womb of Life takes great effort to protect that which has been named SACRED. It takes great effort to un-claim the sacred if not impossible because these forms are created from the very images of gratitude; unified thought, emotion into physical form.

The sacred is matter in form.

Matter in form sustains the memory of existence through Thought Forms of cherishment - Thought forms in Matter, maintained in the smallest part and particle which includes part and particle of thought.

Our thoughts of Empathetic Compassion are most valuable in the co-creation of New World Memories of Peaceful Ease.

Thoughts of empathetic compassion bring the heart to cherishment through the expressions of gratitude.

Intentions

The Genuine dream for love is the intention of great mystery. Authenticity, pure experience, deep resonance "IS" all characteristics which define the mystery's matter of existence. The realness that is so absolute and authentic.

This is the place from which the sacred birthed eternal devotion; it is the place where ALL emanates from. Following the path of the genuine self is a conversation with Great Mystery which moves us beyond courage and requires all our heart.

Thread 8 part 4

Quality

The heart of the Grateful is the quality of the Dreamer from Love. The open heart, the freedom of breath, the allowance of authenticity, the Being in completeness. The grateful, this is the dreamer from love. Finding one's own sense of rightness within; Being in step, in breath, in tune.

The blending of self and other without concession of self or other.

This requires a kind of consciousness that simply requires Humility, Moderation and Compassion. It requires hearing the sound of 'self' and Being glad to be alive. It requires, hearing the sound of the 'other' and Being glad to be alive.

The grateful heart is a heart that is complete in complexity and simplicity, and glad to be alive. The grateful heart is a heart of empathetic compassion which breaths happiness through the universe in a breath in of gratitude and a breath out of gratitude.

The grateful Heart honors Being as SACRED through the limitless, infinite, eternity in delightful devotion of peaceful ease.
