INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUALITY

“Once you feel what it means to live in a state of bliss, you will love it. You will know that heaven on earth is the truth - that heaven truly exists. This way of life is possible and is in your hands. Moses called it the Promised Land, Buddha called it Nirvana. Jesus called it heaven and the Toltecs called it a new dream. ”   Don Miguel Ruiz   The Four Agreements “Everyone who lives on Lady Gaia at this time has the opportunity to be an active part of the Rainbow of Light, which creates a bridge to a new and golden time for all of our relatives and us. At this point in human history we have the opportunity to literally bring heaven to earth. Our ability to imagine it and believe that it is possible for us to rise, to take up the profound work of our earthly ancestors and to transfer it responsibly into our own sphere of action and to fully embody the Spirit is what this ascent will enable. The exciting part is that we have the opportunity to complete something that Mother Earth and humanity have been working on for eons. ”   Brooke Medicine Eagle “For me, Turangawaewae describes heaven on earth. Turangawaewae is where the Tipuna have woven a stand for my sacred expression. Tipuna are the ancestor beings who have contributed to my presence on earth. You are the source of my growth. They include wai (water), hau (wind), maunga (mountain), whenua (land), rakau (tree). They are the elders of the tribe. Humans are the youngest in the evolutionary chain. The fabrics of the sacred expression of the tribal elders have created this beautiful planet as a Turangawaewae for all Mokopuna. When the younger remember the tribal elders with respect and gratitude, the younger experience Turangawaewae as heaven on earth.     Makuini Ruth Tai, Maori Aotearoa, / New Zealand
