  • Spiritual Awakening

    Twelve Signs of Your Awakening Divinity

    By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias

    “Shaumbra” means Family and Deep Inner Friendship
    The Shaumbra Symptoms

    1. Body aches and pains, especially inthe neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level as the “Christ seed” awakens within. This too shall pass.

    2. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.

    3. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It’s good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.

    4. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” job or career right now. This too shall pass. You’re in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.

    5. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energy without the karmic attachments.

    6. Unusual sleep patterns. It’s likely that you’ll awaken many nights between 2:00 and 4:00 AM. There’s a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a “breather.” Not to worry. If you can’t go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.

    7. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogiemen. This too shall pass.

    8. Physical disorientation. At times you’ll feel very ungrounded. You’ll be “spatially challenged” with the feeling like you can’t put two feet on the ground, or that you’re walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.

    9. Increased “self talk.” You’ll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You’ll suddenly realize you’ve been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you’re experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You’re not going crazy, you’re just Shaumbra moving into the new energy.

    10.Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to “flee” groups and crowds. As Shaumbra, you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own Christ consciousness.

    11. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That’s OK, and it’s just part of the process. Take this time to “do no-thing.” Don’t fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It’s similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.

    12. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a “suicidal” feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don’t want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrance of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you’ve come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you’re walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.

  • Love Isn’t What The Words Say

    Steve Toth

    We circle the sky like two birds
    who fell out of their nests together
    & now are lighter than air
    Watch what you long for burn you
    I thought I was well done
    but next to you
    I’m just a raw soul
    You satisfy my longing
    as nothing else can do
    If work is a form of worship
    we work together well

    When I was lost & broke
    you found me & made me whole
    When I was shut closed
    you unlocked me & opened my passageways
    I close my eyes with a deep breath
    to concentrate on feeling everything you touch
    but they only fly open
    to lie on you a spell
    I smell you all over me
    My one desire is to breathe with you
    until the day I die

    Words are bubbles
    breaking on the surface
    of silence
    Words are the tools of ignorance
    Remember the love songs we sang
    long before we knew any words for language?
    Take every bit of my love my love
    I’m just happy to see you making it a paradise
    Love isn’t what the words say
    What of it?
    Go on singing

  • I Wish I knew How it Would Feel to be Free

    Song Lyrics on Allspirit

    As sung by Nina Simone

    I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
    I wish I could break all the chains holding me
    I wish I could say all the things that I should say
    say ’em loud, say ’em clear
    for the whole round world to hear.

    I wish I could share all the love that’s in my heart
    remove all the bars that keep us apart
    I wish you could know what it means to be me
    Then you’d see and agree
    that every man should be free.

    I wish I could give all I’m longing to give
    I wish I could live like I’m longing to live
    I wish that I could do all the things that I can do
    though I’m way overdue I’d be starting anew.

    Well I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
    how sweet it would be if I found I could fly
    Oh I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea
    and I’d sing cos I’d know that
    and I’d sing cos I’d know that
    and I’d sing cos I’d know that
    I’d know how it feels to be free
    I’d know how it feels to be free
    I’d know how it feels to be free

  • Slow and Reluctant Was the Long Descent

    By George Santayana

    SLOW and reluctant was the long descent,
    With many farewell pious looks behind,
    And dumb misgivings where the path might wind,
    And questionings of nature, as I went.
    The greener branches that above me bent,
    The broadening valleys, quieted by mind,
    To the fair reasons of the Spring inclined
    And to the Summer’s tender argument.
    But sometimes, as revolving night descended,
    And in my childish heart the new song ended,
    I lay down, full of longing, on the steep;
    And, haunting still the lonely way I wended, childish,
    Into my dreams the ancient sorrow blended,
    And with these holy echoes charmed my sleep.

  • You Who Never Arrived

    By Rainer Maria Rilke

    You who never arrived
    in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
    from the start,
    I don’t even know what songs
    would please you. I have given up trying
    to recognize you in the surging wave of
    the next moment. All the immense
    images in me — the far-off, deeply-felt landscape,
    cities, towers, and bridges, and un-
    suspected turns in the path,
    and those powerful lands that were once
    pulsing with the life of the gods–
    all rise within me to mean
    you, who forever elude me.

    You, Beloved, who are all
    the gardens I have ever gazed at,
    longing. An open window
    in a country house– , and you almost
    stepped out, pensive, to meet me. Streets that I chanced
    upon,–
    you had just walked down them and vanished.
    And sometimes, in a shop, the mirrors
    were still dizzy with your presence and, startled, gave back
    my too-sudden image. Who knows? Perhaps the same
    bird echoed through both of us
    yesterday, separate, in the evening…

  • The Day is Done

    By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

    THE DAY is done, and the darkness
    Falls from the wings of Night,
    As a feather is wafted downward
    From an eagle in his flight.

    I see the lights of the village
    Gleam through the rain and the mist,
    And a feeling of sadness comes o’er me
    That my soul cannot resist:

    A feeling of sadness and longing,
    That is not akin to pain,
    And resembles sorrow only
    As the mist resembles the rain.

    Come, read to me some poem,
    Some simple and heartfelt lay,
    That shall soothe this restless feeling,
    And banish the thoughts of day.

    Not from the grand old masters,
    Not from the bards sublime,
    Whose distant footsteps echo
    Through the corridors of Time.

    For, like strains of martial music,
    Their mighty thoughts suggest
    Life’s endless toil and endeavor;
    And to-night I long for rest.

    Read from some humbler poet,
    Whose songs gushed from his heart,
    As showers from the clouds of summer,
    Or tears from the eyelids start;

    Who, through long days of labor,
    And nights devoid of ease,
    Still heard in his soul the music
    Of wonderful melodies.

    Such songs have power to quiet
    The restless pulse of care,
    And come like the benediction
    That follows after prayer.

    Then read from the treasured volume
    The poem of thy choice,
    And lend to the rhyme of the poet
    The beauty of thy voice.

    And the night shall be filled with music,
    And the cares, that infest the day,
    Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs,
    And as silently steal away.
