Searching for God in the Strangest Places

Part one 

Searching for god in all the strangest places:
Hearing my radio blowing out telling me I need to get a new one so i can hear my tunes from my current status of Shreationhood...
Hmmmm... :)
Sounds fancy, dark red,  and shiny.
The rattly glass-covered porch table and my old CD player from like 8th grade sitting on it,
covered in CD materials from times before my existence.
Yeah.

I'm listening to old music that I never heard before and totally resonates with a part of my soul.
Man. The shit they went through in the 70s and 80s was rough. As. Fuck.
Do yall remember? It was only like 30-40 years ago
Wait, think about that for a moment.
30 years ago, in the 80s, Ronald Reagan was president and Nancy Reagan signed on for the War on Drugs. This was the 80s, man. Rock n' roll.
But they used a very clever device: fear, shame and disgust. They exploited the worst out of man (or woman) herself.
They got the American man and woman to sign onto their idea that drugs were bad and to be avoided. They practically demolished everything that had been achieved in the 50s and 60s. (On the outside.) Remember the revolution, anyone?
We all remember the Grateful Dead, right? Jerry Garcia?
Mr. Garcia himself was used in a way too effective plan to distract people from the really important stuff.
The idea was the drugs, sex and rock n' roll should be put down, should be avoided, and eventually, people took it so underground that even talking about this stuff became shameful no nos.

The hippies didn't go away, though. Mr. and Mrs. Reagan used the American people make it way, way harder for them. It continues to this day. Look at the occupy movement. Look at Bernie Sanders. Now we are just making fools out of us.
If drugs were legal in the United States, things wouldn't be that different. At first.
And then slowly, slowly, markets would start to slow down, because the demand would suffer since people would just get the drugs for free from the pharmaceutical companies, which no doubt would be selling the drugs once they had license to distribute them (since they are companies). Which is what is already happening. It's funny how they basically bypass all of the laws that non-legally-sanctioned markets are being subjected to. Seems kinda biased.
In fact, it's keeping us from having a free market. You wanna talk about capitalism? This current model of healthcare is the most un-free market of any of its kind. I would LOVE to see a truly free market. We've never really seen it, because markets in the United States, since the days of the British, have ALWAYS been regulated, except perhaps for a brief period of honeymoon at the beginning of the independant state of America.But we cannot even call it a free market, for there were men and woman and children who were slaves and who were serving our whole country their entire lives.
think about that. And now our population is wondering why it has all the problems it has. Look at the history.
If we look at history we will see all the things which have happened, and may have happened, and definitely didn't happen, and we can see what we need to do moving forward. But if we don't know, if we aren't educated, how can we ever know moving forward, and what keeps us from making the same mistakes we made before?

This place has merged and integrated so many ideas, so many fantastic and brilliant energies together into one emerging whole, a new land, a new earth, a new tribe.
some have talked of the rainbow tribe, warriors of the rainbow, but this is a different tribe, a larger one, more all-encompassing. it is a diamond tribe, the people of earth united as one. it is the ultimate outcome. perhaps it the outcome of the warriors of the rainbow's actions, combined with the actions of all those around them. The ripple affect that leads outward into a glorious and humanized society. A world of real super humans who are all super simply human. The emerging self.

Part 2

There is something powerful about our land.
It speaks. If you listen. You have to get real quiet, and sit back and let the voice of Nature speak.
We need to be able to listen to hear the voice of Nature and allow the earth's messages to enter our lives. Or listen to God if that is your faith. Listen for God in everything you do, in everyone you speak to. Listen for God in the waitress at the cafe, listen for God and surrender to the guidance you are receiving.
God can communicate anywhere. God is in everything, is everywhere. God is in the deepest depths of the sea and the highest pockets of the sky. God is in every molecule, every living thing on earth. God is in each of these particles because God made each of these particles. And continues to.
God is making the world as we speak. And we are being invited on a divine quest to make our world in concert with God. As a whole, total dream of reality.
The earth communicates through devas of nature, spirits of the land which live in our homes and surrounding land. Devas can be water fairies, fire sprites, wind pixies, earth nymphs...the list goes on. it's endless. Devas are so, so location-specific. The more you find a power place and you can tap into its power, the more power that place will lend to you. it really all depends on what you want from a place. what energy do you desire more of in your life.
Fire spirits really like fiery, delicious things. They basically eat them. I have a theory that this is why moths fly into the fire. They truly desire to be consumed by the flame.
Have you ever seen the way they just glide down, down, through the fire and never once flinch, flee, or try to recoil from the flame?
They DIVE. They swoop. They dance with passion into the flames.
Speaking for the fire, Moths must be delicious. I sure do think they're beautiful.
