A CELEBRATION OF KNOWING

 

🌟 In Celebration of My 88th Year

With gratitude for the journey, the learning, the revelations, and the ever‑present call of the heart, I joyfully mark the passage into my 88th year. This moment stands as a testament to the power of intention, the resilience of spirit, and the luminous unfolding of KNOWING that continues to guide my steps. I offer the following reflection as a tribute to Peace, Presence, and the infinite geometry of being.

✨ A CELEBRATION OF KNOWING

by Rose Marie Raccioppi APOGEE Paradigm™

As I approach the blessing of my 88th year, I stand in gratitude for the journey, the learning, the revelations, and the ever‑present call of the heart. Each day offers a renewed invitation to listen deeply, to honor the wisdom that rises from within, and to share the resonance of Peace as lived experience.

This moment, this turning of time, brings forth a KNOWING that continues to guide my steps and shape my offerings. It is a KNOWING that speaks through kindness, nurturance, wonder, presence, and grace. It is a KNOWING that affirms the sacred geometry of our being, the harmony of our connections, and the luminous potential within each of us.

In celebration of this passage, I offer the following reflection— a tribute to the dynamic, morphogenic, ever‑present Peace that lives within and among us.

⭐ A KNOWING THAT PREVAILS

A KNOWING rises within the heart of being. A KNOWING that calls to:

Kindness — the gentle touch that opens pathways Nurturance — the devoted tending that brings all life to flourish Omnipresence — the awareness that consciousness breathes through every form Wonder — the ever‑renewing awe that keeps the spirit luminous I AM — the sovereign affirmation of presence and purpose Nature — the eternal teacher, offering harmony in every pattern Grace — the effortless flow that aligns intention with creation

This KNOWING moves as Peace— dynamic, real, morphogenic, present. It lives as Passion expressed with clarity, Emotion honored as wisdom, Awakening welcomed as expansion, Creation embraced as sacred responsibility, Exchange celebrated as the rhythm of unity.

Peace becomes a living geometry— a star of five radiant points, a dodecahedron of consciousness, a field of coherence within and among us.

Heart speaks. Consciousness listens. Peace prevails.

✨ A CLOSING BLESSING

for all who walk the path of KNOWING

May the breath you take in this moment carry the clarity of your own becoming. May the light within you rise with assurance, revealing the wisdom that has always guided your steps.

May your heart feel the gentle strength of kindness, the nourishment of nurturance, the wonder that awakens new vision, the grace that moves through every choice and every creation.

May Peace live as your constant companion— a Peace that expands, evolves, and radiates through thought, word, gesture, and presence. A Peace that honors the geometry of your being and the harmony of your connections.

May you stand in the fullness of your I AM, rooted in Nature’s truth, uplifted by consciousness, embraced by the infinite field of KNOWING that surrounds and sustains all life.

And as this blessing reaches you, may it inspire your own blessing forward— a ripple of awareness, a gesture of compassion, a spark of awakening shared with all who cross your path.

Peace prevails. Heart leads. KNOWING endures.

**In the ever‑present field of KNOWING,

KNOW I...


Know I, beyond Fear there is FAITH, beyond Doubt there is DELIVERANCE, beyond Trepidation there is TRUST, beyond Dismay there is DIVINITY...

WE ~ Wondrous Eternal ~ an ever present ALCHEMY...

Ascension
    Love
        Creation
            Harmony
                Exchange
                    Manifestation
                        Yielding ... 
to Presence, to Self, 
    to the call of BEING.

Man in freedom so born is he
Yet shackled he sets himself to be
Oppression dark upon heart yet be lain
The echoes of emotion still held profane
The mind to silence daunting echoes of time past
And free the self from binding chains cast
Memory called to free mind, heart and soul
Alchemy to ring its welcomed toll.

Image: The Rebis (from the latin res bina, meaning double matter) is the end product of the alchemical "great work." After one has gone through putrefaction and purification, separating opposing qualities, those qualities are united once more in what is sometimes described as the divine hermaphrodite, a reconciliation of spirit and matter, a being of both male and female qualities as indicated by the two heads within a single body.

Ready for rooftops...




Prince Harry presenting 

I N V I C T U S
G A M E S

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS - MAY 09: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex visits Sportcampus Zuiderpark as part of a programme of events to mark the official launch of the Invictus Games The Hague 2020 on May 9, 2019 in The Hague, Netherlands.

As I viewed the presentation, listened to the words of Prince Harry,  conveyed and referenced to, "INVICTUS," brought into clear focus was the theme of the presentation, and the heart behind the program offerings . Touched for a myriad of reasons, I came to shed a tear of gratitude and an embracing joy. INVICTUS is a poem that for several decades has been an inspiration to me, and when shared with students of the APOGEE Paradigm™, has been equally impressive and inspiring. It is a poem penned by William Ernest Henley, 1849-1903, in response to his knowing spirit beyond pain and loss.

As you read Henley's words, as you view the presentation, feel the strength, the power, the spirit, the faith, that INVICTUS brings to BEING.
INVICTUS
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul. 
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed. 
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid. 
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul. 
Respectfully,

And so I implore...WHO...

W H O

Who heeds the words of this poet
Who listens to these echoes of heart
Who feels the yearnings and the fire
Who sees the vision held clear

Is it the wind that whispers its own song
Is it the sun that warms and nourishes
Is it the moon that sheds its light
Is it the star that guides our way
Is it the seeker that searches for meaning
Is it the stranger who extends a hand
Is it the child who gives a knowing smile
Is it the heart in its pulsing quest
Is it the soul in its moment of call
Is it God in all present grace

Who heeds the words of this poet
Who listens to these echoes of heart
Who feels the yearnings and the fire
Who sees the vision held clear.

The Word complete
A single letter it be
You claim it as your own
As, too, to others it be known
Followed by two letters, and all is told
'Tis You and the Creator, each to behold.

I and I AM...



BE it so...an early evening in reflection...
The Word complete
A single letter it be
You claim it as your own
As, too, to others it be known
Followed by two letters, and all is told
'Tis You and the Creator, each to behold.

Child Born of ARIES...


And so it is said of this child born of Aries, March birth... 
Sign of the RAM...
"Rose Marie, you have the soul of a mystic, 
philosopher and wisdom keeper."

"Your 7 Life Path reveals your secret inner gifts, strengths and talents. 7 is the number of introspection, intuition and truth. You are on a constant quest for knowledge and wisdom. Your gift is deeply understanding others and seeking the truth, no matter how challenging. This is your destiny."


Indeed so... TRUTH, as that which holds 
Treasure, Resolve, Union, Trust, Harmony... 
within the gift of BEING... within the SOUL of SELF...

DIVINE FRENZY



Wrapped in the rapture of consciousness unbridled... set aflame with an insatiable fire ... the knowing that calls to soul... this the exaltation of BEING...

"And when, after having divested yourself of your mortal body, you arrive at the most pure ether, you shall be a God." Pythagoras
compliance gives way to creative freedom
restriction gives way to expansive understanding
confinement gives way to total liberation
doubt gives way to boundless faith
judgment gives way to BEING
DIVINE FRENZY the breath of soul
spirit winds aflame
cloak of mortal clothing shed
flaring breath of soul as SELF known
alignment, resonance with earth, water, fire, air, either
sacred interplay of sound, light and spirit
ascension real, ascension real.
