Conscious Simplicity as a Sacred Act

So-where I am going few dare to tread!
I am going to share KNOWING that-but I hope there are some that resonate with this message!

This will take you far astray from what mainstream media wants from you and I  as...  slaves to the Power Overlords-ya know us - slaves...consumers...drones.

I dunno care.. seems to me when we left our health and wellfare to corporations we got well-Fucked... yeah I said it-Fucked..

NOW-I want to keep this positive-HOWEVER.. sometimes knowing what you DON'T want or WON'T tolerate anymore is a good incentive for change! Thus it is not negative-but a propelling force - you see!!
.
When we left our spiritual teachings to a bunch of men in a golden palace we forgot to hear the voice of the Angels and Spirits of Nature OURSELVES! We forgot we are each and every one divine beings having a human existence!

Created in the Image of Creator- REALLY think on that...Creator being neither male nor female-but being BOTH Mother and Father...and WE created in that image- a bit of that Divine Mind.. we have power and capacity FAR FAR much more than we even know!

It is totally NATURAL in the still and in the silence -to hear the Words of The ONE- God /Goddess/Father/Mother for ourselves!

This energy of all love having a thousand names and a thousand faces... representing to us in the way WE need ...
And so as an act of reclaiming my own right to Divine Sovereignty I embrace a life of Conscious Simplicity.
Having not incarnated with an over abundance of finances I KNOW to hear the still quiet voice of the angels -who  speak in whispers..  for this to happen FULLY-for me personally it means a letting go of a NEED for an over abundance of material possessions... I need to have in my life SIMPLICITY-Conscious Simplicity

Things that are sublimely beautiful and move me on a SOUL level...
OR
Multi tasking useful , preferably handcrafted

If I choose a chair-I want a comfortable old rocking chair built to nestle in the body -and I love the rythmic sway.I was nursed as a baby my mother sitting in a rocking chair.. so you see- Rocking Chairs for me -are a peace and love-work of useful art!..and I want that perfect over stuffed antique chair with ottoman to curl up with a book, a quilt,a cup of tea and a sleeping kitty- once again.. this RESONATES with my SOUL!

I want a gypsy caravan type,handcrafted built in bed that has book cases and a deep shelf with a window-to sit up in bed and drink my coffee- and to read.. flowers and herbs in the window...
I want a hand made wooded table and 4 chairs- and a roll top desk for writing- then a burcher block counter....rockers and a swing on the porch...

I will have NO plastics there
No cheap and disposable things in my Sacred Living Space!

I am consciously moving off grid
This you know
When I say off grid I mean- basically a solar charger for my smart phone for work.
Other than that and a battery operated transistor radio... no modern gadgets.
No running water, no central air or heat, no dishwasher,blow dryer,hot water heater... nada-oh well that is a lie- we WILL have a propane apt sized cook stove and a small propane powered fridge-sorry...

I will ALSO have a wood cook stove for -COOKING-heating the 1 room cabin ,heating water and to enjoy the fire...
I am heading out to follow the -To be happy -haul more wood-tote more water axiom!

Conscious Simplicity as a Sacred Act is what I am actually about-

I am choosing to honor my body- BY
Removing these things
Modern toothpaste- real salt and baking soda will do
Aluminum based Deodorant -I will use all natural hand made deodorants!
Store bought chemical laden soaps,shampoos and the like- at 1st I will use Bonner castille soaps and THEN to add more energy  and to be very thrifty - make my own  from all natural materials!
I will no more cut my hair,dye my hair or shave (alright I will pluck that occasional chin hair I must admit)
I will no more wear clothes that are made from petroleum based chemicals-I will wear only NATURAL clothe dyed w Natural dyes-
I will no more put on makeup- I am blessed with good skin-I may use kohl- and will always have on natural tinted lip balm I make myself!

I will eat and exercise in a way that allows my body healing- promotes wellness and really gives me a good cleanse.. SO much bad health-if not all- starts with the digestion and elimination...a body that smells BAD is in need of colon detox...we are meant to have our own natural sweet aroma.. that is part of sexual attraction between 2 people- the attractions many times is chemical...sadly we have forgotten these natural ways!  ..

And BABIES..does ANYTHING smell as sweet to us as our own babies smell... nothing nothing nothing...

I have thrown medicine bottles in the garbage- no more pharma for me!!

I reclaim and regain and increase in health by TURNING to nature...

I will turn to millet as a grain to eat that heals cancer producing cells
I will use vinegar and honey w garlick to keep my blood pressure and cholesterol and stomach acid all balanced...

I will used bladderwrack tincture to keep thyroid healthy...so on and so on..

I will use my walking time and my gathering of firewood and my drawing of water time as a living breathing prayer of gratitude  and meditation time.

I want to touch every drop of water that comes into my home and use it in a sacred manner-when I filter my water I wil, sing a song of thansk to the Waters.. and the Sacred Element of water-to nurture and to heal-not just me -but everyone and everything that same drop of water will touch when it goes on in recycling throughout all time... it is the lifeblood of Mother Earth- Water is a Sacred Element associated with the Divine Feminine.. IT IS LIFE... and modern living is rapeing this resource!

When I make my soup and I make my tea I will stir in love for anyone that comes into my Sacred Circle .

I cannot change the world you see... but I CAN change me!!

Be blessed and a Blessing!
