Lately, the Holy Spirit is in the air. Emotional energy is swirling out of the earth.I can feel it bubbling up, effervescing and evaporating around us, still barely percolating to the surface. Storms loom.
Plus, a bunch of weird coincidences keep happening to me.
For a long time, one of my sayings has been that intelligence is common, wisdom is rare.
"It has yet to be proved that intelligence has real survival value."
-Arthur C. Clarke
That's much better.
God, Christ. Magic. 42. Spirituality. You can hike mountains for it, catch a groove playing music, see it in an equation or in supplication to Y*weh. Spells of the moon and alignment of the planets - all of them call you softly at first. This energy, whatever YOU call it, has been growing.
The drumbeat to feel instead of think is getting louder. Submit to the flow. Submit to the obvious flow. Submit to your God, and feel the winds whipping outside, knowing that magic is returning.
I know it's not just me. I don't just see this happening. In fact, I don't see it at all.
I taste the change. I can feel it in my feet.You do too. You hear pumping in your blood. There's a rumbling deep within whatever you call God, and it's building. The lifting of a lid, beyond understanding; a wildness sparking everywhere. The terrifying sense of obligation, of calling, of reckoning, of being called to face the truth that is getting louder.
It's not that the veil is lifting. We aren't MORE clear about what to do. Or what is happening. On the contrary, the confidence and certitude of youth are slipping away as we enter the dark woods of our culture's first test of mortality. The first test of less. The first step to death. Here there be dragons.
First Reading
Sunday, November 12th
Wisdom 6:12‐16
The collective Me, the We, is a thing I am inextricably tied up in despite my petulant protests. And that We, that Us, is leaving it's teenage years behind and entering the cold world a very foolish and unprepared young man.
The witch knows, though the initiate does not, that she will get three times what she gave, so she does not strike hard.
