Rich and Tigger!

Your clever ditties are so cool! They add a much welcomed lightness and burst of joyful creativity to the sombre discussion and help me to disentangle from identifying with the suffering. You both come through as being very much the insouciant observers, allowing the disharmony to flow through you without attaching to it. Thank you!

I woke up today and felt inspired to do Open's "Healing the Wounded Dragon" meditation as part of my continuing efforts to take responsibility for co-creating the freakish, effed-up corporotocracy we are witnessing so much these days. As I'm becoming more conscious and awake, I'm gradually aligning all facets of my life more fully with the flow of divine rightness. I am much more conscious of what I buy and consume and do the research to ensure the products are cruelty-free, vegan, gluten-free, and eco-friendly. And I'm evolving bit by bit to a way of being that consumes only what is given, as Open says. At present, I'm realigning what I eat and drink and am in month two of a Candida diet to bring my body into balance. Since I'm not drinking alcohol or consuming comfort foods, I'm much more sensitive to how I'm feeling. That in itself is very challenging but ultimately liberating since it's taking me through the pain I have suppressed and out the other side to a higher way of being. During Open's meditation, I was surprised to feel into and observe my intense emotions -- anger, judgment, and frustration included -- around wanting and needing to change myself, others around me, and the world in general. Or course, that's what got us into this matrix-y shit storm way back when: not trusting in the flow of Divine Benevolence. With the connection to Mother Earth's realigning heat and the cooling containment of Divine Benevolence during the meditation, It felt so healing to burn away some of my attachments.

Am I a fully aligned warrior: powerful, passionate, committed, and creative, who serves all life without the need to control and manipulate? No. Can I and will I heal my distortions?

YES YES, I CAN CAN. YES YES, I WILL WILL.
