In thinking about the traditional Christmas with the Christmas tree
and decorations I thought how I might make an ornament for the
Christmas tree. It must be small and three-dimensional like a
ball yet economical and affordable. Combining the
commonly used mid-point weave with the end-point weave of the
traditional spider web, I created Dream-Catchers that could hand on
the Christmas tree and yet carry a meaning and be used throughout the
year..
Dream
Star Dream-Catchers tell a wisdom story about how the blazing power of the Dream Star
sends brilliant,
clear
light to illuminate every corner of your being. Seeing clearly Who
you Truly are, you can acknowledge your greatness and let go of the
foolish, unnecessary games you've played, the patterns that have kept
you from realizing your authentic natural right and heritage. Peace
can only come from within, and your dreams provide the insight and
courage to soar with the White Eagle. There is no path to this
spiritual awakening for you are already there, but you have hidden
your light in a veil of illusion. You only need to clear away the
systems of belief that limit your freedom to BE.

Earth Dream Theater
This is for those whose eyes now wish to see
for those whose ears now wish to hear
who faintly recall who they really are
and now would remember another world backstage.
You are more than you seem,
life is the Theater of Dream.
You wrote the part,
choreographed the dance,
selected the set and scene.
You were hung by your heels
and given a jolting swat.
You cried,
bewildered,
gasping at the air searing your lungs,
stunned by the bright lights,
shocked by the coolness of birth
water
evaporating from your skin.
You could not remember Who you had been.
You had agreed to not remember
the essence of Who you Are.
Stage sets gave you a sense of place
referencing here from far,
comparing near and there--
undeniably true, of course,
if that is the only Truth we share,
masked by the agreement to play
a part in the Earth-Reality Show,
scripted by the Inner Heart of You
before you walked onstage.
crafted scene by scene
to pretend of linear sequence
we call "time"
without which the universe
would seem unreal.
Yet there's no such place as far away,
no such time as then,
not a place called here or there
or such a time as never
for we live in the Always and the Now
of the Great, Great Silence of One,
the warmth of the Heart of All,
in the Peace of Grandfather Sun.

This is part of a
reply to a letter from “Jane:”
Dear Jane,
When you find a window open it is for looking through to get a picture
of where you can go next. But climbing through....that's an act of
impatience.....ego-mind. Pushing the river. Can't be done! Roll back
the tide? Impossible! What to do? Become the river flowing to the sea.
Watch the experience come to you and let it go on its way. The pain of
a lifetime is in the experiences grabbed and held. Then there is life
in the past, not joy in the present. Only the Now MOMENT is alive.
Expect NOTHING and be surprised at the JOY!
The obstacles you encounter are the result of expecting, thrashing
about, fighting the flow with will and wanting to go...there. You've
been a Buddha riding on his ox in search of the Buddha...been there,
done that, bought the T-shirt, it didn't fit, and now I'm here, where
I began, no path to follow, no books to read, no dogmas or doctrines
or mantras or sutras or prayers! Just being me – allen aslan heart –
authentic human being without baggage living in the freedom of my
natural heritage. Soaring. There are ALWAYS obstacles to the ultimate
OUT THERE. That's intentional. Out there is just the illusion and the
reality is within. Remember: “The kingdom of God is within you.” Could
Jesus be more clear?
Wishes and dreams. You want to make a difference in the world. OK.
Start with yourself and totally give up on changing the world. Only
when you are clear and discover the richness of the Jane hidden from
your knowing, then and only then can you do anything outside yourself.
All the rest is the madness of the ego-mind. Let go of the madness of
mind and discover the delight of your hidden inner world. When you
find yourself the world will automatically be changed immensely for
the better. And be a speaker? For what? For whom? More ego-mind
talking. Too many motivating speakers are already leading people,
persuading, convincing, assuaging, and massaging a message – without
finding their true essence and natural wisdom. Cut and paste blarney.
The very best teaching is by example, not in your doing but in your
very being. Find your natural voice, discover your original face, and
know yourself and all the rest will fall into place naturally.
Perhaps you are beginning to grasp that it is your ego-mind that has
you crawling back from the attempt at change. Ego-mind is retreating
to the comfort zone of complacency or normalcy. Congratulations on a
job well done helping the kids to be successful in
an ego-mind
society. Truly, you have done very well; you were successful, as you
understood success. Your children will be very successful, like
yourself, until once again they hit the wall or the obstacles as you
have and wonder why there are so many obstacles to their ultimate
objective. Why do they always seem to be living inside a box? So many
closed doors? Crawling through the windows! Please understand that I
am not faulting you for doing what I've done, what billions of other
people have done. Just see that it is all illusion after all. Find the
book Hope for the Flowers in a bookstore. It's yellow but it's
golden. Maybe give each of your kids a copy for Christmas. Like
The Littlest Acorn, it's
elegantly simple and
stunningly true.
You've been fighting
your way to the top of the heap where nothing of value is to be found,
whereas the alternative is elegantly simple and the experience is
stunningly beautiful. Let the dream star show you the games you play
so you can relax and experience life more freely and Soar with the
White Eagle.
