The Boxing day walk in Old Redding was a way for me to reconnect with the land and to acknowledge the ancient merging of :
the 'Albion-white mists of spirit' with matter, the 'black yin of receiving'
in order to form the land and us, and our connection with it.
The image of this Albion spirit, that I blogged about in the previous posts came to me in meditation a few years ago and I did blog about it then. So my sense of what 'Albion spirit' is, is entirely from inner sensory information that it is not recorded or validated anywhere. However I have come to trust my intuition and inner guidance, and know that this information is a step for me to navigate through in this my own personal journey to step into my divinity, or to some the Holy Grail.
(my old post from July 2014 :)
ALBION.......and SERENDIPITY. The following is a reference to a book that I was led to, upon seeking guidance after a meditation. This is part of a chain of serendipity that I will attempt to lay out in easy step chunks.
All the ancient civilisations have recorded this in some way and each land and each people tell it slightly differently, it is no matter, they all tell of each other.
'Albion spirit' is about this connection and is linked to the mythical story's of Merlin and King Arthur where the land became desolate during the years that its King Arthur was under a spell.
The king's connection to the land nourished it and all who lived off it. The land was abundant when all was going well but as Arthur declined in health and wisdom, and love, the land became lost in chaos and turmoil. It became a dark place with dark forbidding woods. Arthur went in search of the Holy Grail in order to bring the land and its people back to health and abundance.
The holy grail, is again a myth but all story's have a purpose, sometimes they are remembered long after the facts and truths from which they were created have been forgotten and stay wrapped in fog behind the veils that obscure us from knowledge of our true origins.
Arthur is of course, us, we are the King of our life, others can be the supporting players in roles that inform our individual actions, beliefs and emotions, they make us strong, they make us weak, they add to or detract from our sphere of self in this life. When we become lost in panic, desperation, anger, frustration, depression, the land around us becomes desolate. Our actions beliefs and emotions affect the arena we live in.
The Land responds to us like a mirror, it shows us when we have lost our way and our soul.
Historically and religiously, people have studied the myth of The holy Grail. I believe it is not a golden goblet that that was filled with Christs blood that was sought throughout lifetimes.
The holy Grail is us, it is each of us.
Each of us is a receptacle for our own divinity. Imagine each cell of the body, a small cup filling with the sense of truth and dignity, filling with divinity. Each cell then makes up an individual, when those cells are filled and the person has emptied out the last drop of pain and unworthiness, despair and being lost, then is filled with self knowledge that they are divine and one with the land and in connection with everything in this place, then they are again the true king of their land.
It is a story that each of us are following to each individual end. We are the holy grail that we seek. We are the land that we seek connection with, We are the king of that land.
Take a fresh look at these photos with eyes that can see how we are connected.
The next year of 2017 is another chance to move forward into our true connection with our true self and the land with which we are connected. It is about choosing Life and seeing anti-life for what it is. There is a choice about what you see and what you do about what you see, the land is the arena about you, that reflects back to you where you are dying.
Michaela.
