Dear You,

Toni Morrison talked about how the most unoriginal idea out there is violence. It seems strange to me that there are still people on this earth who think that violence Is a solution. But we still don't fully know what life would be like if all of us were living from our heart-spaces. We still recreate trauma because it's familiar (all Democrats who didn't vote for Kamala, and all GOP who create laws that will hurt humans), and we still bow down to bullies ( the GOP to Trump) because we don’t know how to tap into our own power. Also it’s just easier to let someone else do it.

Loving yourself means speaking kindly to yourself. Which is admittedly very hard if you had parents who didn’t.🤍

Fuck them. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle to yourself. Your inner child is waiting for you to love them. 🤍

Your inner child needs YOU to love them in the ways you wish other people would.🤍

"Be the Candle or the Mirror": A Masonic-Christian Reflection

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” —Edith Wharton This quote has lingered in my mind for days. It’s simple on the surface—but the more I sit with it, the deeper it seems. And as a Christian and a Master Mason, it strikes me how perfectly it weaves through both traditions I hold dear. We live in a world with a lot of shadows. We see it in…

Day 440 Art Meditation, Deep Self, True Self, Highest Selves, Little Self

November 20, 2024, “Yellow Blue Brown Blended Tree Ring Art” 

Dear You,

I’m so grateful that so many of us are learning about, and tapping into what it means to be our higher selves - our highest selves. Michael Meade and his stories about living myths, uses the words ‘Deep Self’ and ‘True Self’ vs. our ‘Little Self’. G refers to our Little self as our “critical mind”, and it is our job in our relationship to protect the other FROM each of our ‘critical minds’ in our relationship. I like to call the states of being, ‘ego-space’ or ‘heart-space. It’s such a tiny example, but even within this tiny household of two, I can tell when G is in his heart-space … there is a grounded, calm arena of new lovely ideas. I always strive to stay in my heart-space longer throughout the day … By the end of the day I crumble, but I know it’s a practice.

This is what needs to happen more to counter all the toxic masculinity out there. The more we all talk about our experiences of heart the more one day someone will suddenly get it. That’s how it happened for me. For years I listened to Eckhart Tolle and then one day I just understood what he was saying about ego in a way I had never understood before. It was amazing.

The challenge is that the ego does not like to be identified. All the more reason to keep growing our heart spaces, speak about soul, and truth, and Deep Self and True Selves. 

But the good news is, you ban books all you want, try to control life all you want, when an opening like this happens it can happen any time, anywhere, and to anyone.

◎❤️

This week I made my first ever Vision Board! I am grateful to D for her recent exercise to create one. It’s incredibly empowering. It makes sense to me that I love it so much, I’m a visual learner. I really recommend this for all the other visual learners out there. It’s so powerful.

It’s hard to describe, but I feel a deeper love for all my Blue people out there. Everyone who stood up and voted for things that I cherish. Love, Empowering Humans, Protecting Mother Earth, Ending racism, Truth, Justice and Joy. I’m grateful for all the ways life is beautiful, and I hope that all the people who don’t understand this will heal soon. 

Adding 3 different bags to my store - “Yellow Blue Brown Blended, Tree Ring Art”.

A Utility crossbody bag, a Large organic tote bag and an Eco tote bag.

Sending lots of love & a few pics of baby me and my twin brother … With heaps of gratitude for all of life,

Anne

Awaken the Sage Within: Vasistha’s Call to Empowerment

In the Rig Veda, Vasistha is not just a rishi. He is a mirror. His hymns don’t echo dogma; they ripple with an urgent whisper: You are not waiting for the sage. You are the sage you’ve been waiting for.

Most people search for wisdom like a map. Vasistha flips the paradigm. He doesn’t show you the way—he reminds you that you are the path. His verses are charged not with commandments, but with invocations—summoning your dormant divinity to rise, reclaim, and radiate.

In one of his most electrifying metaphors, Vasistha compares the awakened human to a lightning rod planted in silence—not attracting destruction, but channeling divine voltage into grounded clarity. To him, a true sage is not one who renounces the world, but one who reinvents it from the inside out. Empowerment isn’t loud. It’s luminous.

🔥 The Sage Is Not a Title—It’s a Frequency

Vasistha’s hymns often dissolve the line between seer and seeker. He doesn’t place himself above the listener. He dives with you, shoulder to shoulder, into the unlit corridors of consciousness, saying: Let’s spark this together.

His empowerment isn't external—it’s elemental. He doesn’t gift you fire. He reminds you that you are already burning, and that your flames have forgotten how to dance.

When Vasistha says “awaken,” he doesn’t mean ‘meditate more’. He means stop outsourcing your clarity. You were not born to follow light. You were born to become it.

🌱 Empowerment through Alignment

To Vasistha, true empowerment is not about power over others—but power with the cosmos. It’s inner congruence. When your thoughts, words, actions, and essence line up like notes in a raga, the universe cannot help but respond with resonance.

This is not a motivational slogan—it’s a spiritual law.

🧰 Practical Toolkit: The Sage Within Practice (Daily Routine)

1. Morning Mirror Mantra (2 min) Look into your eyes in the mirror and say aloud: “I am the seer. I am the seen. I align. I arise.” Feel your own words reprogram your narrative.

2. Empowerment Breathwork (5 min) Inhale deeply through the nose. Hold the breath with this affirmation: “The sage in me is awake.” Exhale with a slow hum. Repeat 7 times.

3. No-Deference Day One day a week, reject passive agreement. Say “no” with grace. Speak your own view in a meeting. Wear something that’s you. Be the sage—not the echo.

4. Candle Vigil (Evening Ritual) Light a small diya or candle each night and sit with it in silence for 3 minutes. Visualize your inner sage lighting a thousand inner lamps across time and space.

5. “What Would My Sage Do?” Card Write this on a card and keep it in your wallet or phone lock screen. Use it during stress, doubt, or conflict. The answer will usually be: pause, breathe, speak with presence.

Vasistha's message was never about creating followers. It was about activating flame-bearers. The Rig Veda doesn’t call you to worship sages—it dares you to become one. And that begins the moment you stop shrinking into silence, and start rising into stillness.

You don’t need a new guru. You need to remember your own roar.
