I don't just call the realm of spirit and all the direct connections we have with it as "God" because there are definitely different personalities in there.
You wouldn't just want a Rainbow or a pallet of paints to have all of its nuances called "color" just because it is one.
When I do call something God, it's so that people who are unlikely to understand it any other way can conceive of the vastness of what I am discussing. One of the first things I learned about Shamanism in a book was that to help people as a shaman you have to meet them where they are. But lots of people are blinded by beliefs they are told in a book but never bother to check the reality of any other way. They'd rather repeat the beliefs over and over than ever delve into the sort of inspiration that writes the book in the first place.
One of the reasons I prefer to call myself a Shaman is because of all the Divide and Conquer elements around religions. They fight about anything. They make up reasons not to be together about things. Even people believing in the same messiahs don't like the same holy books about it and shun the ones who choose different. Even the people who like the same holy books, make their interpretation and use the book itself to hold separate meetings and then to shun the others.
Even the God of the Bible is described sparcely and not as just one kind of thing. The scriptures are cherry-picked and brought out of the various chapters written by various authors over various time periods. The lack of coherence there is probably for some special reason, but I don't subscribe to any one-book club of believing and definitely won't be putting one book over another in importance. I love the whole world and think some of the right things have made it into the hearts and minds of people from all around it. But plenty of them would be more than happy to kill someone who has my kind of love if they didn't get it out of their holy book.
Another reason to choose Shamanism for me was that I'm looking at things from beyond duality. Duality is a good place to go when you want things to be extra simple for stupid people, but I only go there energetically when I'm working things out. The Yin-Yang symbol is an elegance of showing us how the dance goes on between differences, a bit of each one in the other, an organized gathering of forces together and how futile separating them really is when they're inside each other and made to fit together.
My favorite reason to call what I do as shamanism is because tribal peoples from across time have been practicing some forms of it, bits of it have even made its way into religions, and being from America -- calling myself a shaman is the quickest way I know to return the importance of spiritual guidance by Native Peoples to their leaders and visionaries is a part of "The Plan" -- Whose plan? The Divine Plan. This is their land and woven over with their prayers to this day, and from my heart to their ancestors, I hope with all I have that we can have their kind of wisdom when we need it the most... like now, while our world is doing the dance of being very divided.
I also don't believe in a Heaven & Hell option after death. I believe in Reincarnation, Concurrent Lifetimes, and intermittent incarnation. The intermittent incarnation inclusion here is to share my understanding that we are not forced to come, that we choose to be here, that we sometimes take breaks as a spirit and don't have corporeal forms or need them. Our Higher Selves might even still be learning things, or they might be all-knowing and still need us to Understand for ourselves.
If people understood the reason they were here was to Learn Life Lessons, then why would they want to ask some other being like Jesus to forgive things they couldn't forgive? Why would they want him to pay some price for them to get to be wicked? Wouldn't they want to learn from their mistakes, the mistakes of others, and find out on their own that they were Born Forgiven because Love is all there is? Christianity uses the symbol of martyrdom to scare us away from saying we are connected with Source or make claims that we are the same voice as it has. Catholicism even shows us how it looks to get martyred with it and keeps him hung up there. There are some who call it a Death Cult, and have plenty of reasons why that makes sense.
Embrace your Death. It has already happened.
When I'm at the level of an architect or Archangel, I understand that we call them Archangels because they Edit the Story Archs and can look down into the Fractal Whorl of the universe and see the little threads going around and around. And some of these threads are brighter or darker or marked by purpose and they can see us that way, like a thread of light in a swirl of magic. It only looks like it's swirling because time had played there, and it only has a visual expression so that I can understand it like that. Without time and space, it's already been decided, finished, and is good.
It being a Simulation is part of this. All the potentials are all in there.
OK, except for some of those special times when I can tell that I'm doing something that might be on the schedule but is really like choosing my adventure as I go. Yeah, sometimes things are not written in stone and get to happen on the moment. Sometimes I get a lot of moments like this, so I treat small choices in my daily life like they might be one, and when there are watchers and spirits attending a thing around me I'm less nervous about making a mistake. I love my mistakes. Some things are fate.
If you intend to learn from your own deeds or be taught something on a divine schedule as a soul, you'll have whatever lesson it is in whatever kind of living you are doing at that phase. You'll have whatever you need to get the lesson, and if that includes a long stay in a place where you can understand suffering better than you understand pleasure or comfort. Then that's what you'll have for that.
I was asked by the angels what to do with Churches and I was mad and told them to turn all of them into field hospitals for a while, but then to remake religion to include an equality between the genders, Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine working together as Lord & Lady, Goddess & God, good examples of all the genders and lacks thereof, stories that make sense to the people like they must have in other ages when we were more in touch with our humanness as an element of the nature of nature. I want churches to be community meeting spaces again, but don't forget to bring your goodies up there and have your farmers markets on the lawn. Preach from the pulpit about the miracles of nature, Mother Nature, and share in classes about plants that show up in your area.
Earth Mother showed me that she would be creating new plants, fungus, and a new canopy of giant trees. It was a vision of another world that was going to be overgrowing to this one. I'm inclined to love the idea of it and hope she goes on to show us all what she was showing me.
But she is sad about how we humans just trample and destroy everything. We should learn to walk gently on this earth out of respect for the itty bitty things that are down there on the floor of her design. It's not "the ground" like a place we don't want to be special.
She wanted to know that if she is making special things that are new and never before seen, small wonders of life, things that we can't know until she inspires them -- She wanted to know that we would have a sacred understanding to these plant, animals, and bugs especially, that we would not go bumbling around like unaware ogres to smash them before they had ever been discovered. How could I possibly argue with that.
If we had been preaching in church a real love for Mother Earth, the planet, our environments, the miracles of life happening all around us, to love the bounty of what there is and concentrated less on how we could rule over or manage such things, then probably we wouldn't have all the pollution, destruction, and loss of life we have been seeing over the period of expansion.
And why does it matter that it's a Mother and not just a Father? Because mothers are given more license to be gentle and nurture and patient. Our misuse of men in the world had led lots of fathers to set the kind of example we've taken like a punishment and then used it to turn around and punish the planet. Not saying women can't be brutal, but when she is the energy in the thing and denied as a creator all around us, when she is suppressed as an idea, when she is left out of holy scripture, not shared or talked about, it's easier for us to deny that we are damaging her. Even if people thought they were hurting God and his kingdom for greedy reasons, they don't feel like they are because they're not doing it to him. They're doing it to Her.
One time I was having a long talk with my guides about Human Recipe after they had asked me to consider Human Design again, and I was thinking about all the recipes of humans out there. It's another reason I like dating apps and looking at the pictures and reading the bits people want to share or think might attract someone. It's a bunch of recipe of human traits.
They told me I'm "Her Recipe" and I could really feel that since I'd been talking in tongues, singing with a perfect voice, dancing the weave, having the other dimension more than this one, remembering a whole bunch of past lives, sensing how the energy rings. I'm Her Recipe.
I'm not going to make many comments over climate change. The Earth is doing something. Humans fucked it up, but now the Earth is a player on the board and has things to add to the equation. For a while last year, I was prophesying a Four Year Winter and telling people survival shit like, "Salt is more important than we think just because we're used to eating it on a French Fry" and "Pine will survive in the cold and there is vitamin C in pine needles for the scurvy." So, whether I was practicing to be a prophet of doom and dark times, or if these basics are really gonna be needed is yet to be seen. My journey has had a lot of training levels and some of those are "acting as if" and showing faith to my guides during a Fire Drill or Dress Rehearsal. But we could find out I was right anytime.
Did you know the reason the Earth is in its exact relation to the Sun is because they love all us wee beasties and bullshit flippty-floops? They are also in love. The Sun and Earth are in a "romantic" relationship and get very excited about getting to live so close together and to share such a cool crop of weirdies that they even make sure we have what we need to be here to play around. I felt like I was eavesdropping on them because the feeling of their romance and how they want to be just right, at the right distance, at the right temperature, at the right combination for life to thrive. It was incredibly beautiful, especially since I knew they knew I knew, and do.
What makes a spirit stay with its spot on the Earth and not fly off into outer space? What makes certain things gather in spots or bizarre become more attracted as if by irony? I call it Spiritual Gravity. I've been keeping my eye on Spiritual Gravity as a kind of Nature of Nature for a while. It might also be called Spiritual Magnetism, and sometimes Like Attracts Like makes sense. And sometimes nothing makes sense. I love it.
