Messages from Spirit - LISTEN

by Dagmar Magdalena Ceki

 

Every day we receive about hundreds to thousands of messages by Spirit ,
but we often do not listen. We are busy with our "real" life andt our
mind is so occupied with thoughts that these messages don't get heard.

We need to calm our thoughts , open up and listen.

These messages come in thousand different ways : a special breeze , an animal approaching,birds flying over you, trees whispering, dreams, visions, voices and much more .
Listen, notice and "interpretate" them from your heart.
When you have a question towards your life right now, a decision to make:
take time to be silent and LISTEN and you will receive answers...and you will understand.

Just some days ago, I fall prey to a storm in my head not knowing what direction to take and my head was full of thoughts and concepts. I asked for a sign , a clear affirmation .
The next morning, while we drove to my acupuncture session , I suddenly stared in the eyes of a wolf at the street. ... a wolf with the same face as my wolf sister Calli with whom I danced around the fire and sat in the sweatlodge last year.
We stopped the car, and the wolf slowly crossed the street from the left to the right side.
There it was - the confirmation I asked for :wolf aff

The medicine of the wolf is the Inner Teacher...
I understood - I need to listen more deeply to my Inner Teacher -

and I need to go from my left, conceptual mind
back to the right brain, give space to intuition and the female way again...

Relax, listen and en-joy your messages.

Light from my Heart,

Leaving the Onion's Way of Tears

by Dagmar Magdalena Ceki

blue star woman

For eons - at least it feels like eons - we are used to do spiritual work in that way :
we work through our issues , we become aware of more issues, then we try to work them and what happens, we are so irritated about : have i worked this issue properly , am I "right" now, is there a hidden issue behind the issue behind the issue .....this leeds to a state of mind where we need people who confirm who we are , how "far" we have come. This again opens the way for having a need for lineages, traditions , religions - in short: people that have the authority to give you confirmation so that you feel better .
I guess many of you have been on this path for quiet a while...
it leaves you in the awareness of your faults, of not being perfect and never will be unless you are
enlightened. do you feel good on this path ? does it empower your True Self ? how long have you been on that path , still not feeling whole ?

Guess what : you never will while on that path.... it is male ways, it is about working from the outside in, like peeling an onion ... and the result is similar : the more you get to the core the sharper you feel the onion juice in your eyes , the more tears run down and you no longer see the world truely.
I promise : doing the issues way is multiplying issues until the end of this earthwalk.
In the end you might say : oh, gush, this was my karma - but actually it was your decision to walk the onion path of tears.

Female way is to nurture .To come from the inside out. We are Life . We are perfect and beautiful and we are creating this world.
So, not peeling through your issues is the answer , but LOVE . Start loving yourself , do not focus on your issues. Focus on your beauty. On the beauty of the soul you are . On your talents , your creativity. What will be the outcome ,what do you feel .... ?
What we nurture grows and strives and becomes whole bcause it always was.
Issues are just an expression of lack of self-love and connection , they all will disappear evantually while loving ourselves.
AND : this is not the way of "Love and Light", it is not imposing harmony while things go wrong,not ignoring shadows that are still there in the 3rd dimensional world.
It is coming back to be-live in yourself , to re-member who you really are and to re-connect to the source. And then stand strong and BE love.

First it might be a challenge to go new ways , as we tend to develope feelings of lonlyness.
But : yes, we are AllOne and holding the hand of the mother. this is the earthways, how wonderful !

Why not decide for Love, for the mother's way right now . Why not gifting you in this new year with the re- live of seeing your beauty right away and nurture this.

I love you all.
In Lakech
I am You,

What Actually Is the Female - Male Way ?

by Dagmar Magdalena Ceki

calli

 

In short : female is coming from vision, dreaming and insight plus connection with the mother and THEN manifest, it is what they call Quantum Physics today..
male is manifestation . the divine male for exampel is the divine order of the universe . The male needs to be enlightened through the female .

So going the female way is mainly to first go into connection, love and vision before manifesting anything in the 3rd dimensional world.
The male must be enlightened by the female to be whole . So as everyone has both energies (though it is not the same for men and women) , we have to balance them in ourselves first , do the sacred dance in ourselves first .
enlighten our own male, manifesting side through our female side first.
Re-wire our brains(left and right hemisphere) to make them work as a whole again.
So every woman and every man has to do this rewiring , but then still in these times it is the women who carry all knowledge of life, of constant change and especially of how to surrender. So women are enlightening the men ...as taught in the old temples before they were destroyed.

as this is still tough stuff for most men to swallow , the resistance is high and the male ways/ The Wounded Father's ways find really tricky ways to still stay in controll. They know that all this energies have only power beyond the new paradigm, actually they do not even exist any longer in the new paradigm.
In these days both worlds exist at the same time until it is done.
so today we see a lot of chaos out there , one we directly realize as chaos , like wars, breakdown of economy ,and much more...but as well the more subtle and tricky ways in which the male/the Wounded Father still tries to keep controll over the female and advertises male ways as female.
Tricky because in such a long patriarchal time the programming in all of us has become really strong, and we have to re-experience what truely is the female way. so often we get trapped.
e.g. women leaders are no guarantee for female way .
Grandmothers initiated by grandfathers, asking even their permission.
The women's right movement is not the female way either , it is male ways , too
and so on and so forth....

So today there is a deep need for everybody to re-connect to the Mother, to find back to the wonderful true human being s/he always was and trust that the Mother shows the way and leads to the True Father - wil say the divine manifestation.
because of the deep programming it requires spiritual work to be done in ourselves first, so that we are able to hear, feel and see from a holy:holistic point; and each and everyone needs different tools for this, so it is not time any longer for one way, tradition , religion , lineage , tribe whatever....
it is time for do it in skilfull means - means what helps one does not necessarily help others, what helps today might not serve tomorrow.
The Divine Femine does not distroy the old ways but consumates them.

 

 


The Temple of The Divine Feminine Is Being Re-build

by Dagmar Magdalena Ceki blue star

I am back home again from Arkansas/USA and very inspired. We had great ceremony /sweatlodges and to see the Temple of the Feminine rebuild eons after its destruction has empowered and enlightend me.
Now it is the time to rebuild this temple in oureselves again.

The old knowledge is available again and we only need to step right in.
Programming of the old system and patriarchy is strong so there is a lot of inner work to do in ourselves to re-member our own old wisdom and activate our original DNA... But this is the time.
We do not need initiations and recognition through old male ways any longer - the only initiation is by the Great Mother and through our Hearts.

The programming shows up in different ways , one is all the "godesses and new age things" coming up since years as well as feminine/women ways that are backed up by men/grandfathers allowing/recognizing the "feminine way" ( this happens a lot in religion and traditional ways) ....
though they claim to be feminine ways they are just the old wounded male ways in disguise and it is a huge challenge for us to see this despite our own programming.
The Ways of The Divine Feminine and of The Great Mother are very different from that and we have to re-learn them --- YES re - learn only The Temple of the Divine Feminine , because they still exist deeply in us, on our DNA and in old memories.
But we have to work to be able to recognize them .
In our ceremonies we were called to go deeper into thee ways , open the ways for others again and make more aware that they exist and are a REAL alternative. so I will follow this call and work even more out of the feminine ways than before .....
I love you all , may you be well and happy - as happiness is the way of the great mother , and love is the true medicine.

Actualization  Ah-Kine  Enlightenment


by Dagmar Magdalena Ceki
yellow

I was asked to write an article about enlightenment and I thought –„gush,  how can I do that ?„
So much is said about it already – many people have written about it .
Is there anything new I can write ?
Maybe by sharing part of my EarthWalk I can give an idea of what Enlightenment might be ....
 
My consequently walking a spiritual path started   in 1998 when both my parents died in a very short period of time.
My mother was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive type of cancer which progressed very quickly .
It was a gift for me that we still had enough time to heal our lifelong issues with each other and that we
were able to experience a special kind of closeness that often only dying makes possible .
It rids us of all conventional behaviours and attitudes and thoughts , we come to the very essence of our being.
During this process , my father- as an alcohol addict - , could not cope with the situation . He went in and out psychiatry , but always started drinking again. So after my mother passed it took not long until he died one night  in the street , because he lost his key and couldn’t enter his house again.
It was cold and he already was ill , so they found him dead on the next morning.
Death is one of the greatest teachers and brought me into a deep commitment to find out more about life and spirituality.

First I met Roshi Joan Halifax at a Buddhist Women Congress in Cologne / Germany. As she held workshops about death and dying , I went to see her . Listening to her talks and participating in a workshop , made me wanting to continue studying  with her.
For several years I practiced Zen and  had the blessings of deep and  profound buddhist teachings.
Enlightenment in buddhist practice is a topic that seems very central to the teachings.
Enlightenment is like the fuel that runs the practice ...but what is this „Enlightenment“ we are striving for ?
There are many different approaches already in Zen practice , even more when we take all buddhist traditions in account.
On my way, to be honest , I lost interest in this question. I felt  being here NOW is a task already big enough.
 
While in retreat with Joan Halifax,  I came in touch with women who practiced shamanism and were students of a Native American teacher. After an invite to a Sweat Lodge  I felt a deep longing of going deeper into it.
But it took me a while to find my own teacher.
2003 I started a traditional apprenticeship with Maria Yraceburu, a Quero Apache HolyOne of the Tlish Diyan ( Snake Clan).

In a traditional apprenticeship there are several circles and spirals in personal growth and spiritual re-connection that we have to go through. First we have to free ourselves from the Ego, this part we usually mis-identify with the I or Me, the part that has a lot of „Likes and Dislikes“ and very personal intention in all it does and decides .
We go through all our issues and, like an onion, get rid of one layer after the other as long as it takes to be freed from at least the biggest Ego parts and have kind of a sense of connection to our True Self, to our authenticity and to the spiritual source that we might call God/ess – Spirit – Emptiness or whatever.
This is followed by a period of time in which we need to learn  how to go with the flow, integrate our knowledge into daily life and get more insights about our purpose here on Earth.

Enlightenment in the Tlish Diyan Tradition is called Ah – Kine and means Actualization.
People who come to that actualization are called the same , as there is no longer a gap between Enlightenment and the Enlightened person.
Ah- Kine means to be aware of our Oneness and Diversity in a profound way. Not  in the meaning of a short and spontaneous moment ( like e.g. Sartori in Rinzai Zen ) but in the moment to moment living our  evolutionary role.
Of course I know there are moments of Enlightenment ever now and then , spontaneous experiences of Being One .
But where does it lead to ... ?
In our times of Narcism and Egoism as valued attitudes and ways of living ,  in our times where „being One „ is often misunderstood  as „I am okay , you are okay“- no matter how I behave- ,  and the fact that we are all already enlightened on our deepest mindground leads to the thought of „ we do not have to work any more on it“ – we need more to the concept of Enlightenment.
I had dozens of opportunities to observe so called Enlightened Masters or students having these Sartori moments, and I was puzzled by the way they lived ...about the amount of sexual, financial abuse and addictional behaviour to be found..
Explanations as „don’t expect teachers to be perfect „ wouldn’t work for me. I felt that if somebody is enlightened this should go hand in hand with a authentic, ethical behaviour towards all sentient beings.
Meanwhile I understand that Enlightenment might happen in a moment , but if it it not intristically connected to a profound spiritual and personal growth in this person it means nothing but an EgoTrip . It does not serve the community , not the world and not the Universe.
Enlightenment unfolds, and only if we join into with ALL efforts to grow personally , become more authentic , live ethically it becomes Enlightenment that serves  humanity and All That Is.

Only Enlightenment that is more then just a nice moment of personal feeling and insight can be called Actualization – Ah- Kine ....   Walk your Talk ...
