The W1ndhorse

from Sogyal Rinpoche's The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and about the same time, from Chogyam Trungpa. Native Americans use the term probably in the same vein.

Tibetans interpret windhorse as "basic Goodness." I do too. I live my life according to those precepts...along with the influence of Irena, Goddess of Peace all my life...My Mother told me about Irene, the Greek Goddess of Peace and I knew that I'd acquired the name to live it and bring it to life.

WHAT IS A WINDHORSE ANYWAY? WELL, IT'S NOT ACTUALLY A BEING ~ IT'S A STATE OF BEING...A STATE OF COURAGE TO FACE REALITY AND CREATE CHANGE IN THE ONLY PLACE IT'S POSSIBLE; TO EFFECT TRUE CHANGE: IN ONESELF. BY THE GRACE OF THE TIBETAN SHAMBHALLA WARRIOR TRAINING TRADITIONS, WE HAVE ANOTHER EXPRESSION OF PRACTICES TO DEVELOP THE INNER LIFE WHERE TRANSFORMATION OF OUR WEAKNESSES IS POSSIBLE, WHERE CLARITY AND CALM CAN BECOME WHAT WE ARE, NOT WHAT WE THINK WE ARE, or worse, that we think others are but we cannot be. THE TIBETAN TRANSLATION OF WINDHORSE MEANS "BASIC GOODNESS."

WIND IS THE POWER TO MOVE, TO CHANGE, TO PICK UP STAGNATION AND DISPERSE IT. WIND CLEARS SPACE FOR NEW AND ALL POSSIBILITY. THIS IS WHAT I WORK AT DOING FOR MYSELF AND FOR YOU. STAGNATION IS DISTRUCTIVE; WHILE BEING FORCIBLY PICKED UP BY THE WINDS OF CHANGE IS SO GREATLY FEARED...YET IT IS OFTEN THE ONLY 'SALVATION,' SINCE HUMANS ARE SO GOOD AT SEEKING COMFORT. IT IS NEVER MY WISH OR PRACTICE TO FORCIBLY SET MY WIND UNDER ANYONE'S WINGS...YET I WILL HOLD TO PRINCIPLE AND REMIND YOU OF IT, AS OTHERS HAVE DONE FOR ME. HERE IS AN IMPORTANT QUALITY OF WINDHORSE.

ECLECTICISM IS ANOTHER FACUND REALM OF DEFINITION~A "PURIST" OR "FUNDAMENTALIST" POINT OF VIEW NARROWS ONE'S SIGHT TO ONE CULTURE OR ONE PHILOSOPHY...HERE GREAT DEVELOPMENT DOES TAKE PLACE; AND THEN, THOSE WHO ARE PRIVILEGED TO VIEW, HEAR AND STUDY THOSE MYRIAD CULTURAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL CREATIONS ~ THOSE TRADITIONS THAT HAVE SURVIVED MILENNIA AND STILL MAKE SENSE TO THE DISCERNING, ALLOW THE PRIVILEGE TO CHOOSE THE BEST OF THOSE TRADITIONS; TO COMPARE THEM, TEST THEM FOR TRUTH QUOTIENT . ~ THOSE BECOME ECLECTICS, TAKING FROM ALL TRADITIONS TO FIND ONE OR AS IN INTERFAITH, COMPONENTS TRUE TO ONESELF. THIS WINDHORSE HAS DONE JUST THAT; LEARNED FROM ALL TRADITIONS, ALL ART FORMS, ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE, THE EARTH, HER PLANTS, WATERS, MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, ANIMALS.....AND THE HIGHEST AND LOWEST ASPIRATIONS OF THE COMMON HUMAN-LIKE BEING...IN THEIR ATTITUDES OF LIFE ~ AND BUSINESS-PRACTICES, AND HOW THEIR ATTITUDES MANIFEST.

OH, AND, YES ~ FROM THE KEY INDIVIDUAL IN MY LIFE: ME!! HOW I ASPIRE, FAIL TO COMPLETE THE ASPIRED CYCLE, AND WHERE AND HOW I SUCCEED.

It ain't easy being a human bean...being! We are gifted with so much; so much that animals in their glory must be walking around saying, "Do those humans know how lucky they are that they can communicate among themselves?? It's such a rare human that can assimilate a meaning of our Animal conversation. She doesn't speak much about it, but Astara Urael is conversant with Animals. Many have bonded more deeply and found closure and new beginnings because of her ability to convey messages from animals.

COME JOURNEY WITH ME, AND CONSIDER WHETHER I CAN ASSIST YOU TO CATALYZE ULTIMATE BALANCE, PRODUCTIVITY AND CONTENTMENT ON YOUR PATH.

Are you ready to set aside the paradigm you were conditioned to, and view yourself from a neutral position where you can see the hunger and desire in yourself and you can also see where you veer from your path toward connecting with that for your ultimate joy, health and usefulness upon this Earth and among the Ethers? Now is the time. Now is the New Millenium; new awareness, connection and opportunity for Earth and for Humans and All Lifeforms. Now is the time to choose. Now is the time to be supported and to be supportive. Now is a Blessing time. A REblessing time. Feminine Spirit is called forth once more. I guess this is why I am called to Minister. In my upcoming, women were not awaited and welcomed as Leaders.

Women are supported and asked to become the beacons of spirit and the strength and maintainence of HOME...of FAMILY...of World Family.

People pray every day for the strengthening of the Presence and Nobility of Women. I have been doing it for a little over a year now...connecting my calling as Woman, Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Wife to my calling to Ordainment and a responsibility to assist others to guide themselves. Every day people are meditating, praying and walking in the name of Spirit, Balance and Compassion. Thousands of people are "FLying" every day to change the Vibratory nature of our environment, so that it may accept those energies helpful to it rather than languishing in chaostic swirls of doubtfulness. There is our first and foremost approach to helping life.

TRANSFORM, PERFECT, RESPECT

TRANSMUTE, REFUTE, INVOLUTE

TRIANGULATE
