Return to Ecstasy ~ An Oracle's Prophecy

So long we lingered in the grasses and the sand...so long we languored in the waters with the fire within burning us to the very edges of our souls, and tips of fingers, and last hidden places of skin...no hidden places...we were open like fully blossomed flowers...always...

Once upon a time we didn't feel that bliss was a far reach, or a passing moment like catching the sun in our eyes...a fleeting glimpse of something so magnificent that just as quickly slipped away...no, once upon a time ecstasy was our very breath.  It was our bread and our water, our blood and our bones.  Even later, when many had forgotten, for the ancient Nymphs, Sibyls, and many Priestesses/Priests and Oracles, such as the Priestesses of Isis or the Bees or so many others, ecstasy was a way of life.  It was an answered prayer at every given living moment of the day.  It was every movement, every flicker of an eyelid, every song sung from every sweet pair of lips, or spreading tree, or bubbling spring.  As impossible as this may sometimes seem, this is what I see returning for all of us...and not just when we leave this body but here, on this earth.  I am an Oracle, of many lifetimes...and this is my prophecy...

I know...ecstasy is the last thing on many of our minds in this life, at this time.  In fact, it may bring up feelings of distress or anger just to think of ecstasy...that licking fire of life we may feel so very far from.  We think, "Ecstasy?... I would settle for contentment or just a little good old-fashioned happiness..."

But ecstasy is not a luxury.  It is not even only our birthright as souls.  It is a necessity to our very beings.  It is our fuel.  It is our truest oxygen.  However, most of us have been holding our breaths for so long, getting by on so little, even desperately wishing we knew how to do otherwise, that ecstasy seems energetically expensive or unobtainable. 

In fact, for many of us, it is all we can do not to be dragged into the mire of the pain of those around us and in other places in the world, and the fear of the big dark-seeming question mark the future seems to sometimes be marked by.  We don't know if we should be glad 2012 is coming or run for cover.  We don't know if we should take every precaution and expect the worst, or hide our heads in the sand with our fingers crossed that it won't be that bad. 

I am here to point out another option.  It has probably been whispering its soft petal-like words into your ear for a while actually, or maybe you are already with me, choosing this option and this message will only be a powerful affirmation.

It is the option to decide that what is coming next is good, in fact that the future is rich and healed and juicy and thriving for you and for the earth.  It is the option that allows you to still honor the bumps and pains it may take to get there, the not-so-great feelings that may also come up, and whatever your intuition tells you to do to take care of yourself, as always...but to not presume darkness or lay it over your future or the future for the world.

It is the option of the path of ecstasy, bliss, self-love and pleasure.  For as sure as I am that I once laid my body against the moss of the earth and felt her tremble beneath me as a magical creature before time as we know it began, I know this path is returning for all of us who will pass through this profound transition time on earth.  It will take more courage than running into a fire or standing up against a dark force, to see your own light, and let it guide you.  It will take more courage to say yes to yourself, and to find out where that blaze within you still resides, undiminished at its core and ready to be sparked again.  And it will take courage to sit, and rub the cold-feeling sticks of where you feel you have grown hard together until that spark comes.  As you do this and you feel the pain in your joints of so many lifetimes of having to hold back those flames of your being, remember that the spark that relights that inferno of bliss and beauty within you will be worth it all...this time you will never turn back the same way again.  You will be warmed by this inner fire for a lifetime, and beyond, and all that you experienced in the meantime will have enhanced you in ways you will only discover as you return to the blaze of ecstasy within.  The exquisiteness in these gifts from your journey will shock you, and rock you, and make you fall even more in love with yourself than you ever, ever have been before...

If you have made it this far with me you are either in complete agreement or are very brave to continue.  This is not a path for the faint of heart...it is a path for the lion-hearted.  It is a path for those who have known for the entirety of their lives, and perhaps before, that they have a special kind of heart.  Not because it is better than anyone else's, but because they clearly chose to infuse their hearts, long ago, with the full power of their souls while embodied...to allow their hearts to expand beyond the point most are willing to, and to explore the deeper regions, time and time again, of that most beautiful realm of creation.

If you have this heart you know it, though you may feel that it still doesn't mean you know how to take this path.  In fact, those of us who have chosen this realm of the heart in its entirety have usually been through the wringer more than others as well...though the darkest forests and the deepest underworlds.  We have brought back the treasures but we need to rest and nurture ourselves before we can enjoy them.  Because I have news for everyone, we didn't bring them back for "the world" or for anyone else.  We brought them back for ourselves.  And that is exactly why they will end up benefiting all who cross our paths, the world itself, and the universe at large.  Because we gave ourselves our own gifts of who we are, and the wholeness of ourselves after all the excavations and unveilings.  When we have reveled in this beauty we will become fully consumed by it...consumed by the beauty of who we are.  We will then be revelers, and revealers, and we will be like golden, sparkling fountains spilling out onto everything that surrounds us...

We will be lovers, like we were as Nymphs.  We will be lovers of the body sexually, as well as through the body in countless ways we might not have even thought of yet that cannot be classified but simply exist in the realm of ecstasy and pleasure.  We will be lovers of the heart and mind, and vessels of love, as we always are and were meant to be...but now we will be conscious of it, and the power of that love will expand and touch and change and heal the world.

It starts, and ends, in your own heart.  First, if you wish to take this path, you must take care of yourself, as you would an entirely adored and beloved child or lover.  You must choose yourself, put yourself first in every case where you can and still feel deeply right about it, and say yes to answering to your needs...all of them.  If some are needs that you cannot answer to yourself or in your current life circumstance, just acknowledge them and fulfill all the needs that you can.  It will shift the tide that will ultimately ensure that your needs will be consistently met.

Know that in the periods of your life, or moments or phases, when you feel that your needs, or a few of them, are not being met...trust ever more deeply that somehow these experiences are leading you to your highest good and the ultimate fulfillment of your heart's desires, or whatever would be even more suited to your heart than you can now tell.  I know it can be hard to keep faith through these experiences, but as you take the next step of nurturing yourself you will feel more supported, hopeful and trusting as you move toward the kind of life-thriving that leads to ecstasy, self-love, pleasure and bliss.

So as you are choosing yourself and meeting your needs or getting them met, the next thing that begins to happen is that you nurture yourself more profoundly.  You take such loving care of yourself that you begin to feel nourished and self-loving.  Once we just begin to feel nourished we can sometimes realize we have a huge thirst and hunger for so much more of it...and this is a good thing.  This is where we discover we can invite in even more nourishment...fun.  Whereas fun may have felt hard to reach before, once we are nurturing ourselves it just seems to happen on its own.  We find that we are playing more, naturally, which then leads to our feeling creative.  When we feel creative we feel directed from within and in touch with our purpose and joy.  Once we feel creative, we start to feel sexy...yes, perhaps in an expected way, and also in new ways we never knew we could.  For we are full of life force and juice again...next thing you know we are feeling guided by our hearts at all times, attracting love and abundance...and, well, everything is leaning toward the ecstatic.  (And dipping into it, and then suddenly you are lingering in that place, and then living in it...) Then, if and when painful or difficult material comes up, we feel nourished and supported through it, and more trusting of ourselves and that point in our paths and its perfection.

From this deep place of knowing and love, our true nature, we will lead and change the world, simply by being in our own ecstatic joy and bliss.

For we will return to that place we have known, not only out of body but very deeply and richly within it.  It is our heritage, and our future.  It is the arriving legacy of what I call "The Great Remembering" that is finally moving over the earth as we have so long known that it would and waited for it to.

You don't have to wait until everything is "perfect" because it is perfect now.  You don't have to wait until all the suffering in the world has stopped or you have ideal relationships or you have done every ounce of inner work you think you need to.  You don't have to wait until every threat of future dischord or calamity has clearly been averted.  This is a world within we are speaking of...this is where the new world begins.  Turn to it, and it will turn inside out and become the world you walk in, in time.

It isn't a big leap to ecstasy as a way of life...it is many, many small steps.  It is taking a half an hour before bed to yourself and reading your favorite book tonight.  It is having a really nice cup of tea while you do it and wearing your fuzziest slippers as you hunker down in the big sofa and dissolve into the yumminess of your own moment.  And then it is just doing it again, and again, and finding out what else feels that good and doing it too.  It is stealing moments of your own, and then hours, and then days, weeks, months, years...but it all starts with little moments.  It all starts with those tiny sparks.  And once the fire begins, there will be no going back...there will only be hearts lit on fire like stars strung all the way to heaven, on earth, once again...

Love,

Jennifer
