heed the plea to rise beyond, beyond perpetrated demise

A G A P E ...so claim, I


 

A G A P E... the love of love, of GOD, of Creation, of Life, of the Grace of BEING, of the Gift of Breath, of all that is Female, of all that is Male, the Whole of SELF ... so claim I. 


One Onto the Other...
A mother's hand in blessings shown
Londyn's grasp in nurturance known
The majesty of creation and birth devine
Supernal be the grace of breath and time
The reach of Londyn to her mother's hand
Be it of a blessed knowing command
A loving bond of BEING in God's grace
Beheld each be within heart's place.

Grandma Rose Marie Raccioppi

The new year 2024 ..."as above so below for the good of the ONE."

 



The new year 2024 is telling via its numerology... 2+0+2+4 = 8
8 implies infinity, and "as above so below for the good of the ONE."
Indeed, We are an integrative system. An interchange, from mind to heart, to gut, serving and supporting all body parts, functions, circulation, growth, development, and renewal, all in intelligent and responsive commune. Yes, from crown to root, and from root to crown.
We are to be newly appreciative of the sustaining intention of every cell, of every organ, of every organ system, of the principles of HOLISM... The sum may indeed be greater than the parts, yet it is the healthy interchange, respectful regard of parts that constitute a viable whole.

The Emerald Tablet of THOTH
Tablet 11
The Key to Above and Below
"List ye, now to my voice and become
greater than common man.
Lift thine eyes upward,
let Light fill thy being,
be thou ever Children of Light.
Only by effort shall ye grow upward to
the plane where Light is the All of the All.
Be ye the master of all that surrounds thee.
Never be mastered by the effects of thy life.
Create then ever more perfect causes
and in time shalt thou be a Sun of the Light
Free, let thine soul soar ever upward,
free from the bondage and fetters of night.
Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.
Look not ever into the blackness.
Lift up thine eyes to the space above.
Free let thine Light flame upward
and shalt thou be a Child of the Light."
In deep meditation the call to APOGEE was newly heard and so today's post and reference to Thoth and Hermes, .a reflection of my life's work, the symbolism, the metaphor, the application, the expression, the art of BEING. Our bodies, our consciousness, our health, vitality, and BEING calls to HOLISM, and the tenets of, "As Above, so Below."

The pulse of 2024 ~ may it be of power, peace, grace and love...

 



JOY AS ONE... 2024
Looking back to days now gone, now past
Looking to the future, days new, days vast
This NOW, what we perceive it to be
A choice ever held by a you, by a me
Many a decision, ours to reach, to make
From the domains of thought and vision we partake
A mind with purity of purpose, intent and direction
Is itself life's questing passion and perfection
Shaper we are of each yesterday, a tomorrow to come
We with the MAKER, our will as JOY as ONE.

In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus; "archway") was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. His most prominent remnant in modern culture is his namesake, the month of January, which begins the new year.


NEW TIDINGS 2024
This New Year to unfold
Its gifts in full yet to behold
For this moment in grace known
For the grandeur of nature ever shown
For the snows of Winter soon to blanket all
For the budding of life Spring to call
For the beauty Summer brings to you
For the splendor each Fall in brilliant hue
Signs, markings, the stars, the zodiac to chart
The NOW in Presence, each vision bears its start
The moment, day and passing year
In gratitude for life evermore dear
A knowing of an inner spirit of calm
Love and faith shielding all from harm
Cold be winter's winds now that blow
Upon my face sun's noon warming glow
In joyful reverence this day gifted new
Creation's love, praise and favor on to you
What be the Light that you in heart hold dear
Bring these supernal visions to this, A New Year.

The Emerald Tablet of THOTH Tablet 11 The Key to Above and Below

 



"That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below,to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing." BE this the constant of the interchange, of each element, of all life forms, of the call to unity, of the quest for purpose, of the PRESENCE of Beauty, of TRUTH, of BEING. Behold the sacredness of counsel, of light, of grace.

... yes, and I invite all to take counsel...

"...Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.,,"


...and so too, I proclaim...

Light Be Known
from shadows light be known
a rising day this moment shown
the quest of light ever present be
in this firmament, this celestial sea
hues and tones of moving grace
within a timeless moment I embrace
eternal majesty be the sky above
blessed I am with this the Creator's love
within this beauty a moment sublime
within this moment light's quest divine.

The 4th Day of Christmas



On the 4th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me


Four Calling birds
A calling ever ever heard
The voice of song so very sweet
Upon the wings of Spirit to greet
A call to peace, gratitude, faith and love
To this wondrous earth and heaven above
And to those in memory now cast
Love for days now past
To the hearts and souls of all that live
A calling to all for life's gift to give.
Blessings to All

Post Laureate

It has been put forth: :"Four calling birds symbolizes the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which spread the good news of Christ's life and teachings."

ANOINTED

 



At one time in history the poet was revered for the soul of his/her words.. a philosopher, a mystic, a counselor, a lover of truth and beauty, a visionary... ever in revelation...❤

Heard is the lament, offered are the words of A POET Counselor...
Shared in reverence, in revelation, in resolve...
                                                    ... be this the counsel of the soul...

ANOINTED
webs of thought, echoes of time sound
the din of shocked sensibilities
what was, now is once more
hush, hush be the cry, the plea
free what is trapped deep within me
shed these shackles of shadow and despair
heed the cry for resolve and Creation's care
listen, listen, and there shall be heard
the search, the want of the guiding WORD
let there be a command of self whole and true
let the bonds of torment give way to light ever new
live the embrace of GOD's majesty and supernal love
the blessings of grace, the sun, the moon. the stars, above
within your BEING the power, the volition to be
Anointed by the PRESENCE OF THEE.
