It feels like there is an ancient knowledge, an ancient language, an understanding of the world that is seeking to be expressed through me. And I wonder given all that I think I am (or not), why me. I used to ignore it, and ignore it, and ignore the whispers. But it wouldn't go away, and now the energy is building, building, building...and it wants me to shout out loud, scream for joy, laugh til my sides hurt, and let love pour out of me in a torrent. For it knows that we have sleep-walked into giving away all our power and into believing that our power lies outside of ourselves. There is now a dominant faction of our world that supplies everything we consume, from the food we eat, to the things we put on our bodies, in our bodies, the technology we inject ourselves with, the knowledge we teach our children, our entertainment and our news. It dictates how we interact with each other, what zones we can travel in, how much we pay for goods, what services we have access to, and what type of energy we use to fuel our homes and our cars.
And in our slumber we have forgotten that we are all sparks of the Divine, that we all have that spark, that seed, and that all there is to life is to see that, to honour that, and to allow it to grow. It will express itself how it needs to, but it's what connects us all to each other, to the Earth, and to everything else in this Universe. It is the source of our joy, our love, our light, and our power. And that is what we should be using to guide us through life. That spark of the Divine loves us no matter what, because despite all our past experiences and our apparent flaws, at our core we are still whole and part of something greater than ourselves.
So I share with you the Invocation of the Flame, the flame of knowledge and understanding that binds us all together through all time and space.
Invocation of the Keepers of the Flame
I AM a Keeper of the Flame.
I carry it forth
Into every part of this world.
I AM a Keeper of the Flame.
I carry it forth
Into every part of my being.
I hold the Flame of God high
So that all may see the shining Light
Of the Divine Plan.
I AM a Keeper of the Flame
And I carry it forth into many worlds,
So that all may know the Light
And carry it onward.
