At this moment I feel my own sacredness. I feel the sacredness of the soul that is housed in the temple of this body. I feel the sacredness of the divine that is within me and within all of us. I hold the sacredness of all life close to my heart. I watch the divine spirit bloom within me and within all that exists in the universe.

all is sacred to me... and im expanding to hold it all in my heart...
passion? i dunno, sometimes it feels more like kicking and screaming to me, more like im being sucked along by some cosmic magnet than following a passion... but, i am trusting the flow and going where i am being led... stepping into bigger and bigger roles, shoping up and doing what it feels like is mine to do, regardless of my fears or doubts...
yup, i guess thats folling the passion... have to stay the hell out of my own way, but im moving right along...
what a trip... thanks for askin : )

"what do you feel is sacred to you at this moment? "

Sex. Self development. Exploration. Some of my working tools. A few places in the world. Some time I have scheduled. Certain tasks I do.

I also flip back and forth between a world view in which everything is sacred and a world view in which nothing is sacred. So which way I'm thinking and which things qualify changes fairly frequently.

"what do you hold close to your heart?"

some people, some abilities, my body, etc.

"are you following that passion?"

Largely, yes, as much as I am able. Some of the things I value aren't things that I can really create unilaterally - like relationships.

what do you feel is sacred to you at this moment?

i feel that living life full of love is sacred to me at this moment. to realize that no matter what, if i am feeling love, i am reflecting love and everything reflected back to me from the universe is sacred and full of love. every experience, every smile, every release of tears, everything.

what do you hold close to your heart?

my family, community, lessons learned, crystals, earth, water, air, fire, spirit.

are you following that passion?

yes! i am combining all these things that i hold close to my heart to assist others in their voyage of healing and self discovery. i am working toward my goal of opening an alternative crystal healing spa to help my community heal using crystals and the powers of the elements.

i have found that figuring out what i am passionate about, doing what i love, has alligned me with my spirits highest path.

love!

my family both biological and expanded. Sadly some of us (conscoiusly) areshifting, others are fighting it or are regressing into the mud.
My guides have told me that some will be left behind

To live divinely, dance purely, and forgive everything. My experiences have made this woman who just needs to close her eyes to see into her soul. Learning to forgive has been my focus, since my epiphany of the victim role I was becoming a star in. I am learning to forgive by first learning to understand my opportunity for growth in every situation. Forgiveness is sacred.

Connect with the universe and it will provide you with everything you need.

all that surrounds me is sacred... as is the one within and so is the suit that surrounds this body....even the events and people i do not agree with, since they are fullfilling their purpose in this planet....may the mother/father/spirit guide me and help to know that I am one and all are from the the one...Breath the the provider of life without it life as we know it stops.....

After reading all these threads," at this moment," such truth, openness sharing and love within all your words for each other and self, is the most sacred thing.
What do you hold close to your heart? that this will be the way we treat each other and all beings.
Are you following that passion? Following? no, for we are the passion.
Blessings and thank you all. xxxxxxx

"what do you feel is sacred to you at this moment?"

1) An integrity of humans that want to be "in it" for the same reason... LIKE MINDS... knowing that we're not all perfect, but we're all here to not only help ourselves in some degree, to be THERE FOR OTHERS (while trying not to think of just ourselves). Giving, sharing, and community bonding. ( "Sacred Unity Among Human Kind" / ~One Tribe~ )

2) When I'm in my studio on any given day (preferably Sundays) and I've had my morning prayer, drummed to have me reach that meditative state of consciousness and have experienced that outer-body transformation, and when I light up to smoke my ganja to come to terms with my own weaknesses, self-pity, guilt, frustration, what I long for and/or hope for, what I've succeeded at, how protective I am with those who are my friends and family that I love, and when I ask for forgiveness to help me be a better person.

3) When I dance in my studio to PsyTrance and Goa music as well as Psybient and Downtempo... stretching- doing yoga and pilate movements and feeling healthier.

4) Making love to my woman (which I have not done yet... but, know the special part of me that has in the past with other women)... THAT would a very sacred bonding between us. The more I love, the better I am at it... so, giving my body freely is not something I try to do anymore (now that I'm involved) and that has been a challenge in itself (with my own issues and addictions).

"what do you hold close to your heart?"

The Bible says “the heart is wicked” and that means… ALL hearts are wicked. Some say that people have a “good heart” or that they “love from the bottom of their heart”. You can’t do that and shouldn’t do that. One must love with a greater love from a power that is not even in their realm… from above and below them and around them. So, when people first realize that “all hearts are wicked”… the trick to get around that and keep it the truth while one is thinking that they (or someone else) has a good heart would be to say: “All hearts are wicked, but there are some of us that have less wicked hearts than others.” That keeps the statement true, and yet makes others know that you’re not as bad as some and that you mean well. I hold God (and my sweetie Renata) VERY CLOSE to my soul... and also feel that U2 are my brothers... even though the 5 of us have never actually met.

"are you following that passion?"

I'm not and I should be. I have many passions... and one passion is something I shouldn't follow... but, to only use it when I'm in love.

As far as singing... I'm supposed to get in a studio and sing a few tracks for a band and they'll play some tracks I want to sing to also (we might do a trade).

As far as drumming... I have yet to find the same kind of musicians that would like to be a multi-ethnic, cultural, spiritual type of tribal trance rhythms. Most drummers and didge players I know are on a different plateau and they're all into the "drum circle thing"... but, yet they're contradictive of their own actions and beliefs and they don't know they're doing it. They understand that drum rhythms can be repetitive.... and people can be on a pattern, and as long as people add to that pattern, and stay on beat, everyone can come out with a beautiful sound. Then, when it comes to myself for instance, and how many events that I went to where there was electronic music... (drummers in the drum circle scene usually don't like what they call "fake drums")... I LOVE to add the trance rhythms and sounds that I've heard through trance music and Psybient, Goa, PsyTrance, Progressive Tribal House, and perhaps even some Ambient Drum-N-Bass... and yet... they DON'T get it. That's the contradiction. Others who do go to electronic music events that do love drum circles DO get it. That's part of the frustration I'm having with starting OATH (Organic Alliance of Tribal Healers)... is that there are a lot of people that don't see the overview... the big picture.

Also, starting ~One Tribe~... many just want to go to an event to have fun, or else they're caught up in college or other activities, or one has to be a DJ or promoter or have connections to make things work, etc. I think that's a bunch of crap. There are others that do have marketing experience, have been musically involved before the younger DJs and promoters were even pooping in their diapers. A respect for elders is also what I see a lack of.

As far as coming out with an auto-biography that would include many of my poems... so I can not only help myself, but possibly help others... that's also on hold. I had my life story taken from me before (as I still remember and is plain as day) and many of my assets taken from me that have hurt me. Letting go is hard, but eventually- I strive for that everyday... but, people don't know the circumstances.

Just a head's up... it is suggestive that everyone "seek to understand first".

Hope this helps someone (including myself).

Peace and many blessings......
