Keeping each other Alive

Yes, keeping each other alive. Allowing our friends to thrive, because they are the only ones we have in this world to help heal the wounds of others who would rather we died. Luckily we can see through their lies, and in the end there only lies the truth, still...barely alive.

Rekindle and awaken each other's fire, if we have trouble igniting our own. We may not have the motivation or energy to do it for ourselves, but no matter how awesome another person in the crowd seems to be, they still need our loving support. A friend who will take their hand and stand by their side...in the front line.

Expanding and/or breaking boundaries, even though it seems sometimes we are doing little, is exhausting. We've given up everything to be here, including years worth of support that held us up for a long time. But now, as we envision a new world order coming into being, it seems we are spread out, doing independent projects, handling everything on our own, because we've realized the people in our lives before do not fit in them now. No matter how much old friends or blood family loves us, for many in this group, they cannot feed us what we really need: fresh inspiration, the right books, ceremonies, encouragement to stay with the meditation groups, the sound healing sessions, everything that a vibrational being needs to stay centered and healthy.

It is true, we do create large ripples that extend far out into the world, changing people's lives that we are not even aware of. That is a lot of energy and it is no wonder that my friend and I, although we haven't changed our routine much, are simply EXHAUSTED! But I am glad that she is there so that I can hash things out, have someone to talk to about everything that is going on....and someone in my old world couldn't handle or comprehend the emotions that are unraveling themselves.

This group is SO powerful, and one thing that I have noticed is that we perhaps sort of stubbornly, a little bit, KIND of.....don't get together nearly as much as we should. It's like the preacher in a badass Baptist church I went to said in Oakland (who was totally channeling and got the congregation pumped up....something that I saw in every black Baptist church I attended): "the problem is that we are under-nourished, spiritually. If you eat a steak on monday, and then wait until the next Monday to eat, man you gonna be starving!!" True dat...when I'm around "my people" everything comes together...I feel better about myself, I feel the consciousness sizzling in the room, I talk about aliens, God, food, books, Reality Sandwich articles, everything! And it is good to know there are the others...because when we step back onto the sidewalk and into the city, with a multitude of distractions and people who don't give a shit, it's hard. But when we are around each other, strengthening and encouraging each other, we really feel like we can do anything.

So let us keep each other alive by feeding each other what we truly need....support, encouragement, prayer, laughter, potlucks....The broom I got from my friend Terra meant a shitload to me...and it was nice coming from a person living in this world, not the old one.
