I have put into words some creative approaches to dealing with issues of faith that seem hard to reconcile but might be easier than we have been thinking. If the wording works for you or you want to change some, feel free to use it in any way you want as long as you are coming from a place of genuine respect for the faiths that you include in this prayer or magical working or whatever you choose to call it. Some will inevitably find fault with what I am doing here, and with what I say. I understand that. I am open to dialogue about it as long as the discussion is (what I would call)productive.
Prayer for Integrating Spiritual Paths-
Great Spirit, Angels and Guides, I turn over to you all my fears about the inability to walk a path
of integrated spirituality.
I ask that the integration of my beliefs with the acknowledgement of Christ/Yeshua and what it means to accept Him be a smooth transition, from where I have been to where I am going. I give thanks that this addition to my already rich tapestry does not mean I must change my identity, religious or otherwise, but simply deepen what I already know about who and why I am.
I walk in the knowledge that I can personally shape my path with God, my Angels and Guides, my Benevolent Ancestors and the Great Goddess all in one lifetime. I ask that you remove from me any doubts that I can worship, pray and believe as I choose even while maintaining agreements with and connections to faiths that have been perceived to have always been at odds with each other.
I have devoted myself to the removal of that which does not serve my highest good and I know my Guides will walk with me and move me in my dreams and in waking hours to tell me which direction is best, when I need guidance.
Thank you for the dreams that have symbols which have me asking deeper questions and inquiring into any part of any relevant faith in my seeking and searching for truth above all else, clarity at all times, cleansing and purification when it is time to do so.
I give thanks for my life and for the chance to seek within the natural world and within humankind, all the Art, writing, conversations, Music and more that may serve to illuminate my path.
I give thanks for my gifts, and for the good sense to pray and ask when I am unsure how to apply myself, or unsure in any realm I find myself in. I give thanks for the Love in my life, from people, animals, plants and from Spirit, unseen but never unfelt. I know there is more than a lifetime's worth
of wisdom, knowledge, beauty, peace, truth, and happiness that awaits me.

Update: Why can't we be friends?
Open letter to Women:
Yes, I know, we meant to sort through the debris of what sexism and internalized oppression has done to our sacred spaces, our public forums and media outlets.
We meant to do that, we may have thought we could put aside some time for that which has ripped our trust to shreds. There was a trust, if only hovering in a dimension right above our interactions, a dimension we could pull down and into us, to give light, power and weight to the desires flowing between us.
These desires might dwell in us as what we call jealousy but upon further inspection reveal themselves to be latent admiration and adoration and all kinds of being impressed with the incredible nature of our talents and bright shining beauty as women.
There are so many kinds of beauty, yes and so little room or time to name it, to fall into it, to skip what you were supposed to do just to be with her. Skip that thing to just be in her space, listening to how she talks, what she thinks about. We do not worship this way, but we can learn to love this way. We can learn to love.
Sometime, somewhere in between laundry and dinner and perhaps the debris is akin to all those clothes taking up room. You will never wear them. Similarly, it is too painful and complicated to examine what has stolen our will to bond with each other, to deeply and exactly love each other.
What about getting hurt? What about those who acted out of jealousy or spite or fear or betrayal and abandonment? I have been hurt and betrayed by women many times, in very cold hearted and sad ways. I have that song playing in my head, and I refuse to give up on friendship with women.
I will sacrifice the safety that calls me and says I can just avoid it all, never get close again, keep all the cards against your chest. My heart won't allow me to stop, I must keep looking, getting right up close, testing the waters and constructing trust within empty spaces. Where are the empty spaces? We will find them again, to fill them, shape the stunning colors and edges and depths with our breath, our brand newborn trust energy and more and more and more.
What about those who gaslighted or ghosted you? How do you reconcile this and prepare yourself to meet women who would never do that to you or to anyone? You stay open in the present moment, breathing deeply through any moment that arises, remind yourself that emptiness is form and form is emptiness and that the dance may lead you far from what you've known but you got this. Why can't we be friends? How could we not be friends? Eventually, we will see this, know it, drink it down and live in it.

now what?
Where do I begin if I were to update right now? Hurricanes, Fires, A Klansman is president, Nobody in line after him for President is any less horrifying, and yet, and still, I am hopeful beyond all reason or measure. Sometimes we think we have seen the darkest dark before the Light and the Universe laughs at us maniacally and shows us even darker, even more horrifying.
Yet and still, you know the collective shadow of humanity had to rear its ugly head or heads at some point. I say that with confidence, we cannot think we are free from the reckoning, the deepest reflections of our imbalances, our sicknesses, our negativity, our perversions, our unwillingness to give honor and name the sacred, and so on and so forth. This is not some accident. These atrocities are not accidents.
They are called forth by parts of ourselves that wish badly to see themselves reflected in our dimensions of the world, in our human dimensions of consciousness, not out of pettiness but out of necessity. On a microcosmic level, if bad behavior and violence and perversions of many kinds show up in human children, they must be seen, treated, dealt with, understood. That can be painful. Now just imagine for a moment if you have massive parts of the population that never got seen, helped, treated and never integrated themselves within the systems of Gaia.
They never admit they are part of Earth, her eco-systems, her fundamental power to shrug us off anytime she feels like it, sort of like a shawl she is wearing, and she feels too warm now, so she needs to shed a layer. That layer is US, it is the whole human race and maybe other species that live here too.
In order to co-exist successfully on Gaia, the pain cannot be suppressed. This clearly makes her furious. Whether the deity who wants her children healed is Jesus, Mary, God, a different God, many Gods, Mother Earth, we do not have a definitive way to come to agreement and consensus among us. So we turn to what feels true to each of us, we pray about it in the way that feels true and these actions are felt between, within and through the veils of consciousness. So do just that and we can swing ourselves and this world back into balance. I will keep reminding all of us.

Reality Time
Part 1
Writer Coach Connection is a real volunteer organization I worked for, and I had a badge and everything. I went back to my old high school, which has been remodeled, and sat down with students to help them with writing. I had no other job and was counting on a testimonial for my resume.
My badge said my name, and that I was a "Contractor" This sounds better than "Volunteer".
By the time I was about to move on, I asked the Director, let's call her Eileen Mickson, for a few helpful words on my resume or testimonial.
She refused to give me a referral or a good word and refused to tell me why, only to allude at it being some thing I did wrong with students.
She never stopped me while I was working with students, so she exploited my time and services, and then let me go without telling me why or the equivalent of severance pay, which would be a few good words about my work.
She has no reason to deny me the acknowledgement for my good work, I still have handwritten notes from 9th graders who really liked working with me. Eileen will have a chance now to right her wrong. Obviously, she has been wrong all these years. She must want redemption.
I ran into her today and it triggered me. I wanted to let her have it, but instead I gave her my business card, which I feel was the Great Spirit intervening and guiding me.

Waking up and the Ascension Process
In my early 20s -- I am now 38-- I got into the idea of Ascension, the Fifth Dimension and all kinds of things that, at the time, the early to mid 2000s, were still considered fringe new age crap that only naïve suckers who live in fantasy would ever give any attention to.
I went underground, in a sense, when it came to my deep fascination with these topics, mostly due to the scorn and ridicule that they received in certain circles. I kept it quiet, but I never lost interest and I never stopped secretly studying ascension in myself and the energy of others, their relationship to the dream they were dreaming about reality and the stories they told that made up reality.
I was comfortable with the fact that I was dreaming too, and that I could make my stories malleable and my life and disposition playful, and this felt quite freeing. Freedom within the mind can be a precious and coveted internal story. Many have a lot of lessons to learn before they have this within themselves. Consciousness has interplay and interactions with many parts of ourselves before we are made ready to have higher levels of consciousness inhabit us. Bless it be.
Well, over a decade later, I find myself back at the place once so scoffed at, but now, the search on the internet brings up find after find of folks who take this seriously. Hopefully they do not take themselves seriously as that is one of the main points of ascension in my opinion, but, on we go, from wherever we were!
Waking up, and the ascension process sound like the same thing to most of us. However, for those who are talking ascension, this is an interconnected process of deeper and more constant realization that we are linked to all that is on and within this planet in a higher or spiritual way and acting from this place of realization is a kind of waking up. Waking up has multiple definitions but it is usually distinguished by the person waking in a more personal, individual experience.
Ascension can be linked to the Ascended Masters, Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammed, Mary Magdalene, and many others. The Ascension of a human is also an otherworldly process and experience but is one that happens while in a human body, the Light Body becomes evident and many times people experience astral travel, or the kind of time travel that is possible for a living being. It is not the same for each and every person who takes part in the process.
One way I can describe what I see so far is that, when one realizes that we are literally writing our own scripts and stories and that what we give our attention to internally and externally, gets bigger, stronger and closer to us, in terms of the power it has to play in our story.
This could be an addiction, or it could be a musical gift. It could be a person or group, or another fascination and so on. When we truly see that we are manifesting without realizing it, and we manifest through lower to higher frequencies we start to see what lines up with us naturally, what we are calling to ourselves.
As our awareness of our thoughts becomes heightened and if we clear out our mental space so there is less mental and emotional clutter to get in the way of our reach to higher frequencies, we get better more quickly at manifestation. When I was at the beginning of this search, I thought this part of the journey was ridiculous. I did not believe it would happen for me. When it did, I started to get more impressed and fascinated by this part of the human story.
Do we need the whole of humanity to start an ascension process for the planet to ascend to higher frequencies? I would answer, no, not really. I say this due to the fact that it is very unlikely that all people will embrace this idea or way of moving through the world. One guess I have is that ascension is a kind of democratic, or majority rule system.
I will go out on a limb here and assert that if the majority of people begin waking up to their internal guidance and the energies they can tap within to change themselves and their environment, that will be the part of the population that leads the way within evolution and within other, not yet formed systems of operation for Earth, for Gaia.
Some folks believe we are near the end, that we do not have time, but the part of us that is Spirit and our Angels and Guides, know that we are eternal and we have the power to change ourselves, our lives and our world, because it is mundane and it is magic. It truly is a magical reality.
Of course that gets into what we think magic is, what physics can tell us, what particles and waves and frequencies are. We must share the knowledge we have. It makes no sense to live in a realm where some folks can see and feel within the scope of many colors and many dimensions, while others feel like paper cut out dolls in black and white.

New Type of Session Offerings from Imaya's Modalities
Mother Wound, Father Wound, Relative Wound. Entity Extraction.
1.What are Mother/Father and Relative Wounds and how are they addressed by this work?
Keeping in mind that I work with energy, on the eternal level, I can address the past, present and future in regard to any painful or dysfunctional wounding left from the client's mother, father or anyone who played any kind of relative role for the client. In doing this work, I am able to hold clear the vision of a reality where all the residual pain or problems from the mother wound are totally gone, cleared away, healed, and this leaves the client free from the patterns holding them. Often there have been long periods of times in a clients life that have led them to wonder, can I ever release the hold this pain, pattern, fear, wound or negative energy has had on me?
The answer is yes, you absolutely can release it. If I am the one best suited to work with you about this, you will know, you will feel it and you will be guided to find me and I will be able to offer you the time and space to do this work. It is highly rewarding, incredibly helpful, sacred, holistic and when the client is ready, we can introduce a sense of humor about the process. If using humor feels useful and appropriate, we can take that route. If not, we will stay with what feels right for each session. It can take one session, or depending how deep we decide to go, it can take more sessions, to feel that the work has come to a conclusion. The story can always be revisited if needed, later on.
2. What is an Entity Extraction and how does this work address it?
I have found, by working with people from all walks of life, that there are reasons some of us hear certain kinds of negative and self defeating thoughts. They might literally or figuratively beat themselves up when they could just as well have been kind and loving toward themselves. This can be the result of spiritual entities that get attached to the person, causing the person to believe the source of the lower vibrational thinking and feeling is from inside them, when in fact it is a result of an entity that is attached to them. This attachment can cause anywhere from mild to very severe harm, depending upon the type of entity and the level of harmful energy it brings.
As a practitioner of healing arts, I am equipped to employ a number of tactics to remove the entity. The first step is always to get permission from the host or person suffering, and then I am ready to operate on many multi-dimensional levels as I remove it once and for all. These kinds of entities that attach themselves on people are no match for the magical tools at my disposal and I am able to obliterate the contract made between person and attachment. In most cases, there was a point when the person suffering was feeling so badly, they made a verbal, psychic or energy contract with the attachment. I can destroy those in such a way they can never resurface.
Overall, if it feels right to work with me on this or other issues, go ahead and contact me on this website, and I will respond quickly.
Many blessings and blissed out wonderment to you and to all!

dreams are made
We did not start out this way. Detours along the way made the river crooked. There was never one particular path for us.
I know that so many will want you, I know many will want me but that does not matter, that is ridiculous, isn't it? I watch your face, the way your lips move when you speak and I am enthralled to the point of incredulity.
I do thank your ancestors, more than you know. you might think it is lip service, you might think that temptation would rock my world. I have no way to profoundly show you it would be rendered meaningless in the face of my devotion. So, this is not lip service, so to speak and I watch your lips move, and I hear your voice, your thoughts and I must, I cannot help but praise the ancestral spirits that are yours alone, that lent you their DNA so that you may have a body, vocal cords, multi-dimensional training here on earth, for whatever happens when we no longer inhabit our bodies, I love them.
I love that you were set up to be given the breath of life, that you may now take breaths of air, filling your lungs, bringing oxygen to your blood, in turn to your organs and your systems exist in the same physical realm as my own. We exist at the same time on earth and this is no small miracle. The fact that we found each other, it is the stuff dreams are made of. This dream that is made of both the actions and cellular structures of ancestors, is a good one. It is a holy one. It is real, it is now, it is majestic. I work to do it justice. I seek to clarify all the gifts and benefits of us joining together, despite the parts of the outside worldly agendas, the chaotic confusion that led us to the illusion of separateness.
