Time for Change

Many of you will have been reading these sporadic posts
during the 6(!) years I've been writing to
Christal Temple friends and others.
In some ways it only seems like yesterday

that Helen and I started
Christal Temple Laughing Church

in our basement apartment
in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia.

These years have been a time of exploration,

of celebrating sacred mysteries together,
of embodiment exercises and ruminations,
and finding ways of bringing back together
in shamanic-yet-physical reality
what we and a few others have felt
to be our human lie of separation.

The healing processes

have been awesome!



For me, John Overton,
the time has now come to own in me
what has often been an outside demonstration
of inner truths...
Now, at this time, for me on Planet Earth
it is imperative to be the process -
the process of ever-fuller embodiment 
of what I have passionately written about
and what we have celebrated together.

The strange thing is
I don't know how this will happen -
I don't really know what "this" is about!

But, rather than wait for some miracle
which might suddenly come from "above"
and make everything "clear"
I know I have to "own the process" -
and to own it in my living now.

And one very clear way to own the process

is to write my experiences as ME,
and not as Christal Temple
or as some of the other personalities
I've turned into blogs!
(There's nothing wrong with them,
but here I must own ME to be able
to share what is coming through me.)

So,
Christal Temple blog,
just for now,
THANK YOU
and 
au revoir.
(Bigger things are happening!)

You are all so very welcome to share me
on
 

.... and thank you
to all of you who have shared
the Christal Temple journey thus far
in any of the many ways!

Blessings and Love

Arriving in a new place on a special day.....

Those of you who know me well will know how little I enjoy that habit of monks and nuns in different spiritual traditions of getting up in the middle of the night to pray! Maybe PostaHouse will have other daily traditions which will be more "enjoyable".

Though a good shamanic journey through the night (your body may stay in one place and your spirit journey into many places) would be a different thing. A soul (or vision) quest perhaps - finding the voice within while sitting silently through the night on a mountainside.

I find it interesting that I shall be arriving in Posta on 22nd February, the day western Christendom "celebrates" Ash Wednesday - I write celebrate in inverted commas because, according to church rules, you're supposed to fast this day which is hardly a cause for celebration; not in my book, anyway! For some reason it's arranged so that I "manage to avoid" the carnival-days. No Italian Shrovetide fun for me this year, it seems!

But, I do feel that there is an interesting aspect to this timing. 

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, a time which commemorates when the prophet Yeshua (better known by his western "Jesus"-name) having just received water-initiation at the hands of his cousin John in the River Jordan, starts a 40-day vision quest in the desert region. To test his mettle, so to speak. "Do you really want to do this?" come the voices in the night!


Jésus assisté par les anges - James Tissot
So, how appropriate that I should be arriving on the day when we "celebrate" the beginning of that famous vision-quest ca 2000 years ago! Here in Posta, my very own vision-quest!

I invite you to imagine what visions you can have about what PostaHouse can do and will be. And, maybe, your own place in this vision.


Blessings
