I Think Speech

I often feel called during the All Souls-Tide to render a potent tale depicting an ancient journey - The Myth comes from the land of Sumer, a place that today we call Iraq, just a smidge northwest of Kuwait, where the Tigris & Euphrates meet. This ancient allegory is a precursor to the 3-day Harrowing of Hell at Easter-Tide - & It is a reality that echoes the Cosmic journey that every human soul takes thru the 7 planetary spheres in the life between death & rebirth.Late last night around the bonfire, after our ‘Soul to Soul Festival’, the Story of Inanna came up - a full affirmation to share it today.In this saga, Inanna, the Sumerian Goddess of Love & Light, hears the groans of her sister Ereshkigal, Goddess of the Underworld – So, Inanna, Queen of Heaven & Earth follows her destiny & willing takes the journey into the Dark, to be reunited with the undiscovered & rejected parts of herself symbolized by her sister Ereshkigal.She fortifies herself with the royal power inherent in each of her chakras - but, the 7 gates to the Underworld are narrow & she must leave behind her vestiges of power in order to enter.In this vulnerable state, she faces her sister, token of the collective unconsciousness, & her shadow-self. Out of this alchemical process empathy is born. This compassionate part of Inanna takes to heart the travails of her sister’s painful labor - She hears her pain - & names it back to her. This is the action of Love in Wisdom - which faciliates the rebirth of Inanna thru her sister - Returning the rainbow gifts of her 7 chakras transformed & renewed.Thru her relinquishment, sacrificial death, & resurrection, She becomes more than the Goddess of Heaven & Earth - She has conquered the Underworld - & has now become, Whole…Hear now : The Descent of InannaTranslated by Wolkstein-Kramer, adapted by ~hag

“For once, therefore, a man woke up and saw that what mattered was not to proclaim democracy but to see the full reality, not to follow slogans, but to see things as they are. This would be particularly important today, for people would then realize that the events which reign with such blood and terror over the whole of humanity are guided and directed from just a few centers. People will never realize this if they persist in the delusion that nation is fighting nation, and allow the European and American Press to lull them to sleep over the kinds of relations that are said to exist between nations.” ~Rudolf Steiner, Fall of the Spirits of Darkness, : Lecture 14: Into the Future, Dornach, 28 October 1917 https://reverseritual.com/world-turning-9-11/
