Thoth & Mistress Peony: Expansion

November 24th, 2003

Expansion Transcript

—I call us into Sacred Space.  And I ask for the guardianship and the blessings of the Grandmothers and the Grandfathers of the Sacred Directions.  The presence of Mother Earth, and her movement through each one of us.  The presence of Father Sky bringing his blessings into each one of us.  And may the harmony between them sit in our hearts, 

I invite each of us to allow our energy fields, beginning with our core, to ring with their connection within us, Mother Earth and Father Sky.  We are conduits for their knowing, their wisdom, their kindness, their strength.  Let it radiate from us leaving us full. 

This evening, into our Sacred Circle, I invite the plant realm, creature of air, creature of fire and water, the rock and mineral realm, and our beloved Spirit guides.  Those who are known to us, connected to each one of us, and those who are as yet unknown.  We invite you to join your knowing with ours. 

I will attempt to speak as intermediary between those in Spirit, and those in flesh.  And may each of us serve this function to the full extent that we are interested in doing so, and are ready to do so. 

We come here to understand that which we don’t, in order that we may continue in our process of strengthening, that our lives be rich and full and meaningful.  And that we live with happiness and love as we continue to serve in ever greater capacity the good of all.— 

Good Evening.  I am Thoth, and I am happy to be with you again, this evening.  And there is a difference in the energy field between now and the time I was last with you.  There is more space now, and there is more space in your world. 

So, part of what you have experienced is as if your process has left you a certain size, and you continually try to stretch against the barriers within you.  You stretch against the limitations that you feel.  You wish to release the heavy energies that still hold you to much in the past. 

And, so, we are part of this process of expansion and alignment, where it is created from the heavens through the cellular existence, an expansion.  So, what you have felt, it is as if you are held together in your small being. 

And you know many people who are very small.  Think now of someone you know who is small.  They maintain their smallness.  They have their bitterness which they’ve nursed for many years.  It’s contained within their auric field, and they hold this steady state.  And for them the change is more frightening than the sourness that they experience in their lives. 

So, those of you who have said yes to expansion experience this, where suddenly there are spaces within you.  Space that was not there before.  And in that space many things come to fill it.  The potentiality for deeper thought.  The willingness to have more time alone.  The ability and willingness to have richer time alone.  The willingness to see what is truth.  And less of a fear for allowing the fears or the sorrows, the wounds, to come clearly and honestly before you.  To be felt, to be recognized, to be released. 

Space achieves potentially feelings of insecurity.  It is like being alone if you have never been alone.  You have more space for yourself, but there is an insecurity as to who you are that can fill this space. 

So, I invite you now to sit strongly in your body.  Sit within your body and draw in the energies that you have called into this Sacred Space.  Or open your chakra system to flow smoothly as it will do in a natural way.  Bringing a little consciousness will assist in this.  And ask to bring in all that is enhancing to you. 

Now, as you do this, you may become aware of fears which also fly freely in the space which you have.  Allow them to be present, and any of their manifestations.  Sit and observe.  Watch what you feel.  And, be willing to open yet again. 

This is an exercise in presence.  I invite you to change your energy body in this moment. 

So, in your consciousness, now see the vastness and the emptiness of the universe.  The emptiness which is fecund with life, the ultimate paradox.  And allow your consciousness to sit with this viewpoint. 

I’m inviting you to expand into your broader awareness, because this is the infinite domain which is part of your character.  And you are not trained to think it so, this vastness. 

You might find insecurities arising as before.  You just watch them.  You may not need to understand them as deeply as you think, in order to change them.  So, I’m inviting you to join me in this consciousness which is a significant aspect of reality. 

It is a dark night, and you continue to descend into the darkness of winter.  And I wish to give you the courage of descent into emptiness, into darkness, knowing that you are not alone.  And knowing that your own brightness, the star which is you, shines in this darkness.  This is a darkness where you have shed some of your ego, your self-concept. your self awareness, all of which are self limitations. 

This is a consciousness which you may not embrace immediately.  And yet, it may come to you at another time in your existence.  If people have never experienced it, and they come to their death, it can be frightening.  And for others it can be a welcoming home. 

Now, within this state, without conceptualizing, allow there to be a symbol of those people who are needing help.  Into our Sacred Space, I add the gathering of the stars, the celestial realm, to draw into transformation all that can be achieved for these beings in guidance by their Higher Selves.  We take no choice away from any soul.  And we only watch without control what transpires.  It is different for each one. 

Now, those who you love, who go through this life of change and challenges, let the energy of this Sacred gathering be at their disposal.  Certainly allow your own love to be magnified by the powers that you are connected with, greater powers.  So that your love can be a strong and rich, healing nectar for those whom you love.  Allow this.  It requires more allowing than effort-ing. 

And now, the state of the Earth and all her peoples.  Give with your full consciousness, your blessings for the resolution of struggle.  Words may take form, and this is good.  And it may only be energetically that you express this, and this is good.  Here, in the heart of compassion, we can pray even for the oppressors, even those who harm others. 

And now, your fears or that aspect of yourself which is still small, which is young, which is wounded.  Some symbol of yourself, your self-doubts, offer them for healing.  Simply be willing.  Do not apply thought. 

And now, I call together the forces that are gathered to align each one.  All those who have been thought of, to stand in harmony, a perfect pitch with one another, all united, all connected, every pain, every soul piece, every last lost object of person, of being.  Soul pieces in harmony with all that is Sacred throughout time, going to the past, the future, all is one and present with us. 

So may it be.  We know not the outcome.  We know only our presence and our willingness, and the Divine company in which we find ourselves. 

Take this into your body to the maximum degree that you are conscious of in this moment.  Invite it now to come to you in your sleep.  Invite it to deepen in your understanding as these nights of the winter become darker.  Embrace this energy of this descent into the darkness.  And then receive the gifts unknown, unplanned, uncontrolled as they come to you. 

Soften your edges, and let them be ever fluid, a gift of creature of water on this Earth plane.  Of course it is a manifestation of an element of the Divine, which has great teachings for all humans. 

Embrace the Sacred within you.  Embrace the Sacred all around you.  Embrace your own transformation.  It will bring you meaning.  It will bring you joy.  It will bring you skill in which to be of service. 

And when it is time to fully transform from this physical body, you will know who you really belong with, where you really belong.  And your passage will not be fearful.  It will be one of anticipation. 

Now, this has been a big night, a blessing, a night of ritual, alchemy.  It was not anticipated, but it was surrendered to.  Align yourself with the Sacred forces, and you cannot go wrong.  You cannot be lost.  You may feel your pain, but it will be transitory and to be honored.  To be honored, each experience. 

And so, I thank you for going on this adventure.  And I hold you with the power of my love.  Good evening. 

Good evening.  There is a lot of space here, a lot of expansiveness.  But I’m coming because I want to know if your questions have been answered, or if you have something which you need to still have attended to?  You may ask me if it is so. 

—Mistress Peony, I’ve been working with the fire element to help strengthen my body and my energy field.  And it does bring up a lot of intolerance.  And it’s really clashing with keeping my heart compassionate and open.  Can you give me some advice on how to work with that?— 

Of course.  Let the fire fill your bone marrow, and fill your first chakra.  And then follow the energy into your chakras, or into your body, or into your auric field.  But do not continue to require that it be fire.  It will of its own healthy accord transition itself within your structure. 

So, then if the energy comes to your heart chakra, it will be what it should be.  And it will be the vibration appropriate for your heart chakra.  And if you feel the energy running there, you will feel an expansiveness. 

And it is in the expansiveness of the heart where you will be able to feel compassion for those who struggle.  You will feel it for yourself as you struggle. 

You will feel your own emotional struggles first in your 2nd chakra, and you will realize it is you.  And you will see, with your integration of your 3rd chakra, why some of these qualities exist, and bring understanding to meet the emotion. 

So you may feel compassion for yourself.  And when you have succeeded to do this, the energy will flow naturally to your heart, and your compassion will be there for others. 

Well, I wish to pull a cover of love around you as if I were tucking you into your beds.  And please, invite this sensation back to you when you do get into your bed tonight.  It is a cover of love, for all you have done, for your willingness to try to help others as you heal yourself, for the very nature of your true soul. 

Each of you has bravery and sweetness combined.  So pull the blanket of our love around your shoulders.  You can pull it over your head if you wish.  Sleep in it.  Let it soothe you deeply. 

If all this goodness causes the release of some holding, simply let them release.  Don’t identify with them.  Don’t be disappointed.  Don’t attach.  Instead attach more deeply to the yes, to the yes to the Sacred, to the Sacred within you joining the Sacred without.  Good evening.
