So you've decided to tone things down? 😂I trust you've had a wonderful birthday with your daughters.

I had an interesting conversation with my youngest son yesterday, who has recently been finding himself pulled towards Jesus and being a christian. This now means 2 of 3 sons are exploring this - which is really fascinating given they were not raised in a religious home. We talked about all kinds of religions and spirituality when they were growing up, but I never parked that discussion anywhere - outside what it means as beings with a natural desire to know ourselves more deeply.

I asked him what it was he found most attractive about it, and he said the idea that someone could embody that level of love for others. Could he do that himself, without Jesus, I then asked. He thought about it and said, yes, but Jesus must have come to show that potential.

So it's not so much about Jesus I suggested, as it was about him wanting to become more loving and Jesus is his current, most obvious reflection. He agreed, but thought too, there must be something about that particular being. For me this is where the form (Jesus) collapses into the content (love).

And this collapsing can become an obstacle, but it also may be a needed stepping-stone before self-referencing when the external anythings get dropped. As morphic fields of resonance go, Jesus is powerful (I would argue this field is its own thing and so 'real' no matter where one lands on Jesus as an historical figure) as a stepping stone to claiming love as the defining thing about humans. (It's all love, in the end.)

We're shredding a whole reality structure and religions may be the toughest for many of us. So many of the intuitive 'goods' are tangled up in them. It likely feels self-annihilating to drop them, as the detangle gets subtle.

Thanks for being such a clear, bold version of You, Tereza. You claiming you and sharing that, is an act of love. Very best wishes for the best upcoming year yet. 💕

"Great re -Set "...nice. It reminds me of how ISIS is now associated with terrorism and violence, and GW Bush's "war on terror " pronounced like "terra".

Goddess awareness can help remind us that a conscious spirituality takes into account the feminine principle in both males and females.

And becoming aware--from the perspective of consensus duality--that we have all likely lived many, many lives as the opposite sex, just who is victim and who is perpetrator, historically speaking, can be quite a humbling experience.
