Where am I?

Can you guess which state this photo was taken in? Let me give you a couple of clues:


Was once known for having the largest dam in the world.


Is billed as being the “Entertainment Capital of the World.


Has one of the premier skiing destinations in the world.

Did you guess Nevada? This photo was taken near River Ranch, Nevada in the northern area of the state, along the California Trail Highway. I had never traveled through this area before and found it to be surprisingly beautiful compared to the more rough and rugged regions in the southern part of the state.

It brought to mind the ‘ol saying of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” When we make assumptions about people and places, without taking the time to educate ourselves, we usually discover, to our dismay, that we are incorrect. Most people will associate the state of Nevada as the the city of Las Vegas. However, there is a lot more to Nevada then the bright lights of “Sin City.”

So, on that note, the quote of the day is

“When we take what other people say as fact without examining all the details, our perceptions become limited to their point of view.” tc

Divine Feminine

I have been introducing the Divine Feminine in the last few postings. I find it so interesting that our worldly culture over the past 4000 years or so has managed to suppress the representation of the feminine in many religious structures, ethnic groups, educational positions , family balance and basically in every avenue of life, unless the feminine is placed in a subservient position to the dominant male figure-head.

Kwan Yin, Diana and Mary Magdalene are just a few of the powerful feminine forces in recent history that have taken a back-seat to Male Dominion. Is it any wonder why the world is in such chaos? After all, the foundation of balance and harmony at the core of creation between male and female is completely out of whack with what the creator had intended.

Thinking for just a moment about the creator, I have found it thought provoking to take a Male God, Male Son and Male Spirit as the representation of the creative forces of the universe. Common sense tells all of us that it is the FEMININE energies that Create life. Ask any mother who created, nurtured, cared for and bore a child. How can Male dominion, male figure-heads and male energy create anything natural? Simply……it cannot.

The creative energies and forces in the entire universe are feminine! God is actually Goddess.  This is not to take away from the male force in any way. In fact, the rebalancing of the male/female energies is exactly what our world, both physical and spiritual is working towards. Patriarchal dominion and the excessive male force in our world has brought us to this readjustment period. Instead of perceiving the transition as a loss to the 'male ego,' the rebalancing of the feminine should be celebrated as love and light for ALL.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“May the communal, feminine love of the Divine embrace you with the all-knowing nurturing of the truth about creation.” tc
