Followers of the Way
For years now I have been curious, curious about how deeply connected I have felt to verses from the Bible, specifically the teachings of Jesus. I did not grow up with religion, my father was spiritual, connected to Nature, Indigenous ways of living, and Astrology. As most of us have been told growing up, none of this goes together, you are Indigenous, Religious, or an Astrologer, you are not All of it. Except that is not true, we are All, Followers of the Way, What is the Way? Etymology for Way; Middle English wei, "established road," from Old English weg (Mercian wæg) "track or path by which some place may be reached, line or course of travel, distance to be travelled." WOW it is so simple when we pause and get curious, I just looked up the word Way for the first time as I am writing this.
I was reminded of Followers of the Way from James Talarico i shared a clip in a video i created on Leo energy and what i am seeing that is an expanding movement. We are in scary and uncertain times and we are making our way through it, as we are meant to. Prophetic and written, end times, and I am witnessing us getting through it. Now it is time for us to create outside of the chaos. Let the destruction continue while we become more liberated, and build a New Earth, really not new at all, just better and with Spirit as our foundational set point, it was always going to be. Many are still too overwhelmed to look at the evil that has been ruling over us, i was one of those you can say, evil deniers, until 9 months ago, when the act of evil was going over my house in the form of a manipulated hurricane, it was not Mother Nature it was man trying to control us, keep us in fear, I felt it, and I couldn’t deny it anymore. None of the ‘Biblical’ weather events, nor fires are natural. How do I know? There is a ton of evidence out there, patents, companies, military, and more, telling us what they have been doing. Plus my deep connection to the non physical, God told me when I woke up to a storm that wasn’t supposed to be, God told me, this is happening, what your and your community do with it is what matters. Does God speak to me? Yes, God speaks to All of us… if we are listening. God does not speak in words, God speaks in thought form, which sounds like words, as it comes through in our voice. Let me be super clear, God does not share Fear, evil shares fear. Fear would have spoken to me in panic, frantic, examples; we are being punished, Mother Earth is mad at us… When God speaks, it is logical, like yup this is happening, what will you do to get through it? That is what comes to me with Followers of the Way. We are held by God yes, and we must hold ourselves to the same standard that we want God to hold us in. Faith and Trust were a must for me, as it has been, to the breaking point, stay on course and do not falter, do not fold. Wooooweeeee, i have wanted to fold so many times in my life and the further on the path we go, the more challenged we will be, to stay in Faith. That is what is holding us… Our Faith . There is where our Peace lies, with God. That is our salvation… never give up never surrender, Galaxy Quest!!
When I hear Followers of the Way, it resonates deeply within me, not man made rules to follow, our Faith to follow, we always know what is true we just have a difficult time following that truth, until we realize, there is no other way. How many times are we lied to and deceived before we get to the wait a minute…I do know what is true and I choose to follow that through and through. To find each other and to hold each other in the truth as well, that means we do not stand in lies with ourselves nor our brothers and sisters anymore. Did i just write brothers and sisters??? hahah, I did and it felt sincere for the first time, I probably will not use it often but who knows maybe I will. Jesus teaches us to love our neighbors…
Matthew 22:36-40
King James Version
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
We must know what Love is first and we must know God. Without that we are the blind leading the blind, To me this is where man will lead us astray, God will not, comes in. I will lead you astray if I try and get you to do something that I think is right… why I teach Astrology now, in a way that teaches you to know the Word of God yourself. i am one, in the forgive them for they know not what they do, not separate from this, I am aware of this. No, I am not one of those, I am a no good sinner… i am a woman… i am a … i do not always see my blind spots, my trauma, my projections, my fears, my insecurities. yes i use capital I and lower case i on purpose… and I probably have spelling errors in my wording, please forgive me ;)
Christians were known as Followers of the Way. Then they became Christians, then there came rules, and being told what to do by man, not God… I can be a Follower of the Way, that makes sense to me, I can connect to anyone this way, without are you a good chrsitian? what are your beliefs? what sect are you from? what group are you a part of? Take all that and more away, and we are All the Way.
What about you? What comes to you when you read this blog? I always love to hear from you…
