VÄINÄMÖINEN'S RETURN AND USHERING IN OF THE NEW SAMPO

Art by Tamara Yufa in 1965
First who is Väinämöinen, aside from us knowing him from Kalevala as a man who perform heroics and is born old and wise to begin with - he is in the esoteric circles known as Our Divine Will.
When you use The Kalevala as a holy book to discover your way to live a spiritual, good life and connect to your "Christ Consciousness" ( Higher Consciousness, also called Cosmic Consciousness, God-Consciousness and Christ Consciousness, are expressions used in various spiritual traditions to denote the consciousness of a human being who has reached a higher level of evolutionary development and who has come to know reality more accurately ).

Second what is Sampo?
From my earlier blog Kalevala Studies Part 1 Poem 50:


" What is this Sampo he comes to usher forward in us?
Let's investigate a little. A loose quotation from Kauno Mannonen's "Uuden Ajan Kalevala Avain" on pages 83-84: "Sampo can be interpreted as our Ethereal Body our Spirit Vessel that we forge life by life better and perfect. When it is our time rise up as we ascend (like jesus did) this Sampo will be our vessel. [...] Samboo in Sankrit mean Highest Awakening. Tibetian word Sangfu means secret source for all happiness, hungarian Sampog means Father God and Buddisht Samboodha means Highest Knowledge, Wisdom."

And here is where last night comes to play - you might recall my earlier blog called Earth Ascension Update.
Last night I cared not so much wither we got to keep our bodies or not, it did not matter one way or another ( Living in the Now ) BUT as I got to bed, warmed up under covers with a book in my hands I had an epiphany! ( I suppose you don't have to guess what book as we talk about The Kalevala here ;) )

" Up until now, the only option available when anyone wished to ascend from a planet was to raise the frequency of light of their subtle bodies, i.e. their mental, emotional and lower spiritual body. Their physical body would die.
When the Starseeds came to help the Earth, included in their many blueprints they were to create, was one for a new blueprint to allow people who were ascending to also raise the frequency of their physical body to the level of light required to enter the 5th dimension. The benefits of this blueprint would mean no physical death need occur when one ascended. It also meant that after raising one’s physical body to a higher frequency of light (and therefore still actually having it, in some form) if that person ever wished to visit a 3rd dimensional planet in the future, they could simply lower the density of the physical body and use that as their body.

Originally, it was thought that this blueprint may not be created in time for the current situation of Earth’s ascension, but would be in place for other planet’s ascensions in the future. However, after the Starseeds arrived on Earth, the Earth Mother requested extra assistance from other universe’s in order to hurry the blueprint along so that it could apply to humanity for her own ascension. This occurred. Since their arrival here, the Starseeds and many Lightworkers have continued to create this blueprint daily. It will be completed in time for Earth’s ascension."

I got so excited I had to interrupt my husband watching a Miami-Virginia Collage Football game and tell him what ideas now ran rampant in my head! He was very calm about it, muted TV and let me go at it.

And why were these things put together an epiphany?
Well-- because of Runo 50 / Poem 50 where at the very end Väinämöinen our Divine Will inside us says he will return, when certain things come to pass...

479 Väinämöinen, shamed and angry,
Walked away down to the seashore.
There he sang his last enchantment:
Conjured up a copper boat,
Closed-in vessel decked with copper.
487 There he sat, steering seaward
Out upon the clear sea surface.
As he sailed he went on speaking,
And he said as he was leaving: 440
"Let the rope of time run out-
One day go, another come-
And again I will be needed.
They'll be waiting, yearning for me
To usher in another Sampo,
To sing another song,
Set a new moon in the sky,
Free a new sun in the heavens
When there is no moon, no sun
And express no gladness on the earth." 450

I had to tweak this english translation a little ( in italics to set the words and their meaning right, see Väinämöinen won't make a new Sampo like many translators take liberations, no, he brings forth, ushers in a new Sampo - see he never made a Sampo to begin with, Ilmarinen did ).
As I talked in the Kalevala Studies entry the Moon in esoteric studies means Death (Kuolema or Kuu'olema/Death' to be/Moon' to be) to die in Finnish is Kuolla/Kuu' olla/To be Moon.
Finnish Language is tricky for a reason, it has inside it a whole myriad of meanings, hidden and in plain sight, esoteric and spiritual right inside the common language.

If you aren't a natural speaker of Finnish you cannot understand for example what you are truly talking about when you speak of the moon. Finnish, it is like a double edged sword, in one end you speak of the physical full moon and its beauty, in the same words you speak in esoteric about the Beauty of Full Death ( as the true nature od dying can escape a man/woman, this might sound morbid, but trust me death is not morbid ). Or when we say whole ( kokonainen ) we also speak of the fully balanced human that has the divine feminine and masculine attributes and divine wisdom together in full spiritual package, Koko'nainen/Fully'woman -- I could go on on about this but there is the Sampo to consider. Perhaps another blog entry of this will have to be made.

Väinämöinen returns when we have forgotten our knowledge of Death ( Kuu'olema ) and forgotten our Knowledge of Spiritual Wisdom our Spiritual Light, The Sun and Ei Ilmaista Iloa/Express no gladness on the Earth. In Finnish language it literally says no free or to express, the word Ilmaista means them both. ( it also means 'ilma' and 'maista', 'air' and 'earthly or taste' but I won't confuse you more ;) )
So what if it means that there is no longer Free Joy, Free Gladness in this earth - money has taken over and rules happiness. ( gee - when might his be)
You will not happy unless you buy this car or this house or these shoes or this wedding package or this or this or this...
Or perhaps it means both there is no free happiness and people do not know how to express happiness anymore? We might try to express our gladness with what then, well think of people today going out to dinners or buy gifts to celebrate... This is quite sad that our happiness is no longer free but has to be bought with gifts and trinkets to express it.
Look at this from a spiritual point of view - not knowing how to express happiness...

I add this up for it to be clear - Väinämöinen returns when we have forgotten our knowledge of Death and forgotten our Knowledge of Spiritual Wisdom our Spiritual Light. And when there is no free joy and happiness and we do not know how to express our gladness.

Art by A. Andrew Gonzalez
And he ushers in a New Sampo - perhaps this is it, right now, past two hundred years and the future hundred to come, perhaps our new Sampo - not the one that in the past we have forged and forged to be our Spirit Vessel for our Ascension - is the perfect one our Ascension Body. Taking into consideration that we can ascend in these bodies with Earth now seems to match perfectly in this thinking.

It is never easy to put ideas and epiphanies to words.
And the best talent is to read between lines with our intuition.
So I hope that even with my rambling you can read between the lines as well.

To me, as my personal truth, this hits home. All that I have learned in my 28 years support this theory.
From Cultures Reincarnating, to historical document, to Akashic Records, to the Kalevala meaning of my maiden name... I cannot wait to learn more about The Kalevala, to see what Finland and our Deeva has to offer to the world.

Love, Light and Joy!
Niina

MONEY (CHANNELING)

Plashdar Answers A Question About Money 

We hear a lot about the law of attraction. What is the best way to manifest prosperity and abundance (meaning money) so that we can have a joyful life experience?  Thank you.  David.

"I am Plashdar. Thank you for your question. There are many factors to attracting abundance and prosperity and any material thing. There are many factors to not attracting it.

Money is a humongous thought form. Everybody is constantly, constantly, constantly thinking about it, and it is growing. It is always gaining power, gaining life and energy. This system will not go away.

We have looked into the future. We do not see it collapsing as many Starseeds wish to think it will. They do not understand what they are dealing with. This is a thought form, which is a program that all Earthlings have created and all Earthlings sustain. Even primitive cultures who did not use coins traded. The only way to cause the thought form to work for you instead of against you is to stop empowering it.

There are many people affected by this, so there are multiple ways to answer this question. I’m going to try to address as many people as possible with my answer.

There are many Starseeds who hate money and want the money system to go away. They spend their time hating and hating and hating money. What they really want is to have money, but they have convinced themselves that they don’t want it, and that it’s a terrible thing to have, that the money system should not exist, but they disprove their point, because they have not learned from the money system yet, and so it has not fulfilled its purpose. It is a teacher, like all things. It teaches us. It teaches us.

By hating money, you hurt yourself financially, and not only that, but your energy is sent out and someone else picks up on your thoughts about hating money, especially if you are a Starseed, because your thoughts are meant to be picked up on. Starseeds must be especially careful what they are thinking about at any given time. They are here to bless the Earth, and they are here to send out thoughts and emotions that other people will pick up on. It is in their programming. What I mean is, it is in their DNA. Starseeds are here to affect people’s minds, to give them new ideas.

The money system will never go away when the money system is hated. What you repel away from you is always what you will attract more of. What you repel away from you will always exist. What you fight will become bigger and stronger. Even if you defeat it, it will show up in another form. Money is not to be hated. It is a program created to learn.

You are learning from it. God is learning from it. We are all learning, and you are learning through the system of money. It will not go away because you are wishing it would. That will cause it to grow more. Instead, you must focus on people living abundantly. Stop focusing on the people in power having all the money and control. Think about what you are thinking about.

Now, let’s move on. All planets have a system. You can read my other article, “We Are People,” and you will see that we have a credit system. But no one is in control, and anyone can move up in the system, and everyone is appreciated, and everyone is given credit for what they have put out, for the amount of energy they have put out. Time is energy put out. When you give of your time, you give of your energy.

Money is energy.

Money is energy.

Money is energy.

Money is just energy, and that is all it really is. You cannot blame the energy for the form it has taken. Don’t let the thought form despise itself. If it pities itself, it will grow in a very negative way. It should love itself. It is just doing what you all have told it to do. It is just a program. You must stop feeding the program negative thoughts, and begin to love it instead. It is an energy, a mass of energy.

What you hate isn’t money. It is what is done with the money. You hate lack. You hate that some people are abundant when other people are not, and you focus on being not. People in general focus on being not -- not abundant, not prosperous, not, not, not."

MORE @  http://crystalchildmessages.typepad.com/crystal-child-messages/2010/08/plashdar-answers-a-question-about-money.html

What I am concerned at the end half of this article is the attachment, the more you have things the more things belong to you and control you. If you can have anything then how will you feel when it is taken from you?
The first part makes perfect sense, hating money does not work... Wanting happy money, emmm... not sure that will work either. Letting go of attachment to money seems a good way to go, you don't need to fly where ever you want to or have material things in abundance when you know these are borrowed things to begin with.

I have recently grown from hating money and the lack of money to believing I am supported by life, I have always, what I need to live. I do not need excess because it will easily cause attachment.

I am the Housekeeper of my wealth, none of it is mine.

YOU EXIST ON ALL LEVELS YOU ASCEND TO (CHANNELING)

Elohim about our Paths
Channeler:  Luxonia

---
Seen from another angle, everything is connected and there is only one path with variations. The individual paths, as well as the individual experience, are part of the illusion. In essence, you are One, inseparable.
Let us take you on a journey.

You are God. You create. You live and love, you suffer, you gain and you lose. What is the purpose. Think. Feel it.

You are on a spiral that is going up, to your higher self. You exist at all levels you ascend to. You integrate ever higher and larger parts of yourself until you reach who you always were, One.

During this journey you will meet One in various life forms, also seemingly lifeless forms. You will interact, exchange energies, becoming closer to Oneness at each encounter that you share in Love. Anything and everything you feel with Love will be with you, always. Love expands you. Love brings you closer to Oneness. You can never lose anything that you have once Loved.

Each of you is unique as a human. Each of you will have your own experiences, to bring as crystals to Oneness; the crystals of knowledge, the crystals of wisdom. These crystals will be used when creating new worlds - you will be using them to create new worlds. You, all of you, exist as God, now.

Just believe that everything has a meaning, everything happens for a purpose, and believe that you are loved beyond measure. You are us. Inseparable.

RESONATE = KNOWING WHAT IS TRUE INNATELY

I have come across two Archangel Michael channelings today.

First by Meredith Murphy I came across involved money which peaked my curiousty.
But what happened was when I clicked it open was that my eyes absolutely refused to read it, my vision jumped at first sentance off the text - I could not focus on it, I could not read it.
So-- I left the page open returned to it, same thing happened even though I tried harder. Left the page open again.
The third time as I absolutely failed to focus on the text ( well-- I got two sentences down and felt a hyperness that does not come from angels ) I decided to check this Miss Murphy's home page, could not focus on her text there either - by this point I'm thinking what is she selling?
Well this I found out, over 800$ for Life Path Program, 275$ for Life-jumping session of 50 minutes, 275$ for New Earth Mind Set Coaching of 50 minute session and more...

From her channeling: "To claim the financial abundance which is yours, you have to let go of  issues/contrary ideas you have with wealth.  With wealthy people.  With money.  With charging money.  With asking for money for your work.  (OH MY!!  Yes, I really said that!)  You see?  So many of you don’t really like yourselves that much.  You don’t realize that first of all money, is just a form of energy."

At this point I go oh-I-see! This is the astral being hyperness she is channeling - no wonder I could not for the life of me read her "Archangel Michael" channeling.

The Second was by Michelle Coutant for November 2010. It was complite opposite!
I felt the Peace first word on, I heard his voice inside my head, a Harmonious, Peaceful tone and presence.

Your body tells you - if you listen - what is true, and what is not.

But remember even the sourest apple can have a sweet spot.
Just like any channeling can have a dripple of truth.

You won't learn to recognise what you resonate with unless you learn to listen to your body, your intuition.
If something does not add up, listen.

CHANNELING LIGHTWORKER LIFETIMES



I have been thinking of my life as Lightworker lately, and this morning I came across a channelling I posted here as well.
"Many Lightworkers will also be going home (also via the banquet!). However, there are a considerable number of Lightworkers who intend to stay on the Earth in the 5th dimension to assist people to adapt to their new circumstances. Working on a completely harmonious planet in the flow of divine order, without pain or suffering, is quite different than experiencing life on the 3D Earth."
This quote had me immediately - I knew this Earth is my "life long" project, and that this is not my only time as Lightworker on Earth. I wanted to have solid proof, I wanted to remember, relive why and how many times I have been on Earth. (I'd also like to know your experiences if you are a Lightworkers who has had more reincarnations on Earth)
Do not take this as spacey-alien thing... I am not an alien, or state that I am. What I am is what you are, not all times a human, not a body, not an angel or ascended master - I am the Energy, the Light of the Continuum of Existence.
It is just those born to Human Cycle spend a whole lot of live on Earth, I as I learned have only been here few times - for a specific reason.
As my home and culture now is in Finland it is no coincident, I imagine, that my maiden name is so tightly wound into Finland's Spiritual Mythology. Kokko the Steady-Winger White Eagle in Kalevala is the messenger of Divine Knowledge, it is the Holy Spirit in other mythologies, Kokko brings the divine Wisdom and Knowledge to the people.

As you read my channeling, my Conversation with my Higher Self, it is good that you know what it felt, feels like. It is like a connection to my Infinite Self, the part of me that is not dependent of time it recalls at all times the past and future of everything. My attention spans to include all, but to stay sane in this three dimension body it comes in a form of a Higher Self, and entity that I am within that I can have a conversation with.
I did this conversation with automatic writing as I wanted to record it all as it was said.

How many lives have I had with humanity? 
You have had four, each in pivotal important points of human existence. Like you have recalled your first life on Earth was in Atlantis – you were there to help lift the vibration of Atlantis back to light, it is due to you and others with your purpose and mission in Atlantis that the souls were reborn else where and took their knowledge and wisdom with them. You recall the physicality of this time but not your true purpose and origin yet, this you can remember as you work with me on it.
Your second life was in Egypt a grounding life, a force of earth and force of true balancing of the ground, the turmoil of that time in Egypt was bringing earth too close to lower vibrations, you worked with the earth with your hands, sang to it, you recall the physical of this again, the pain of loss, but you shall remember more if you wish to of your original purpose there to ground the vibration to keep them from lowering further.
Your third life you have not recalled yet, it was in a time of budding science, you were there to keep the vibration high for the important step, the right steps to be taken, victorian era suited your manifestation, you and others with your vibration raising abilities worked closely with these scientist you were parts of their families and continued families, friends and lovers. This was where spiritual science gained its foothold.
Your fourth incarnation to earth is this, now in age of information and last steps to ascension. It is the same job, so to speak only your tools and surrounding will change. This has always been your job, you have always enjoyed it, information, raising vibration, building about your last reincarnations, what was started then will come to its perfection now.

Thank you.
You are welcome.
As I open my eyes, I feel part of the perfection still lingering. Just like before my mind showed me, like a movie but a memory these lives and glimpses of their true meaning - it is good to know your past, but in someway it matters not, as it is the past. But I personally hold these memories precious, it tells much about me and what is my purpose on Earth. 

The Light Bearer.  

A Lightworker.

EARTH'S ASCENSION UPDATE (CHANNELLING)

Earth’s Ascension Update
October 2010
From:  http://lightworkers.org/channeling/117392/earth-s-ascension-update-october-2010

As we know, the Earth is proceeding with her Ascension as part of her own evolution process in this universe and the Starseeds and Lightworkers on Earth are assisting that to occur. During the process of Ascension, all those of humanity who can align their vibration to that of the Earth’s ever increasing light frequency will ascend with the Earth. The other Kingdoms; animals, elementals, minerals, plants; will automatically ascend with the Earth.

Up until now, the only option available when anyone wished to ascend from a planet was to raise the frequency of light of their subtle bodies, i.e. their mental, emotional and lower spiritual body. Their physical body would die.

When the Starseeds came to help the Earth, included in their many blueprints they were to create, was one for a new blueprint to allow people who were ascending to also raise the frequency of their physical body to the level of light required to enter the 5th dimension. The benefits of this blueprint would mean no physical death need occur when one ascended. It also meant that after raising one’s physical body to a higher frequency of light (and therefore still actually having it, in some form) if that person ever wished to visit a 3rd dimensional planet in the future, they could simply lower the density of the physical body and use that as their body.
Originally, it was thought that this blueprint may not be created in time for the current situation of Earth’s ascension, but would be in place for other planet’s ascensions in the future. However, after the Starseeds arrived on Earth, the Earth Mother requested extra assistance from other universe’s in order to hurry the blueprint along so that it could apply to humanity for her own ascension. This occurred. Since their arrival here, the Starseeds and many Lightworkers have continued to create this blueprint daily. It will be completed in time for Earth’s ascension.

Therefore, what is occurring now is that each person who chooses to align themselves to a higher frequency of light by moving further into love (i.e. being heart based) and not following fears, ego, mind or other third dimensional patterns, is absorbing this blueprint. As they, and the Earth, continue on the ascension path, they are literally adopting the blueprint as it is being created.

This means that all the people who are now choosing to ascend can ascend without ‘dying’. Of course, just choosing to ascend is not enough. One’s vibration also has to be increased for that to occur. So, discipline is required by an individual to ensure they are following the optimum path.

So what we have on Earth now are two sections of humanity:

1. People who are choosing not to move out of fear based third dimension patterns of ego and mind. Those people will consequently be unable to clear the dense energies in their subtle bodies (as described earlier). This will prevent their light increasing sufficiently enough to ascend. These people will eventually attract situations that will cause the death of their physical body, permitting them to reincarnate on another 3rd dimensional planet. As to when such an individual would ‘die,’ it would occur at a point when the light frequency of Earth reached a level that was no longer comfortable for that individual to live with. Many people have already gone, more will go. This will occur both individually and en masse.

2. The second group are people who are choosing to live from their heart; meaning they are living in a loving and helpful way, without judgement or criticism. This behaviour cleanses the dense energies in their subtle bodies and allows ascension to take place. These people are automatically adopting the new blueprint that will allow their physical body to be raised in light frequency, as well as their subtle bodies. Once the blueprint is in place within an individual, providing that person continue to increase their own light by staying in the divine flow/heart base, the remaining sections of the blueprint will be absorbed by that individual as they are created. So, by the time the Earth ascends, that individual will have the entire blueprint in place needed to make a smooth transition along with the Earth to her new state of being in the 5th dimension. Living in the 5th dimension is different. Everything looks lighter and finer because it is of a much lighter frequency. The biggest change will be the visible harmony that exists there and the instant manifestation that arises from thought. There is no linear time in the 5th dimension. It operates in the now, often called the eternal moment. Therefore there is no time between the time you think a thought and its creation. This takes a bit of getting used to! The people, who have stepped into the loving flow of divine order and are choosing ascension, will be getting life lessons now to show them the fast manifestation of their thoughts. This helps teach responsible action of our thoughts, in order to have this area under control by the time we ascend.

This is wonderful news for everyone. The people choosing ascension now have the opportunity to ascend without dying. The people who are choosing to stay with 3rd dimensional learning (which will occur for them on another planet), will be able to ascend without dying, when they are ready.
As we know, there were 144,000 Starseeds and millions of Lightworkers who came to Earth to help her ascend. It is understood that upon the Earth’s ascension completion, Starseeds are generally returning home (most via the 'after mission' banquet!!). In fact, most Starseeds will depart before or just prior to Earth completing her ascension.

Many Lightworkers will also be going home (also via the banquet!). However, there are a considerable number of Lightworkers who intend to stay on the Earth in the 5th dimension to assist people to adapt to their new circumstances. Working on a completely harmonious planet in the flow of divine order, without pain or suffering, is quite different than experiencing life on the 3D Earth.

The option for people to ascend with the physical body in this planet’s ascension is an addition to the original plan for Earth. It occurred because the Earth longed for humanity to be given the opportunity to take their physical body with them, rather than having to experience body death. She succeeded in her wishes.

Earth’s current position

The Earth is proceeding swiftly with her goal of becoming a 5th dimensional planet. The codes required and the balancing needed is almost completed. She is already partially in the 5th dimension now and some people are already there with her, preparing for the transition of humanity. It is unknown when the final transition will occur, as the timing of this will be the choice of the Earth Mother in accordance with divine order.

Codes were released recently on Earth that were incorporated into the Earth’s Ascension blueprint that brought about the final stabilization of the Earth’s axis. This means that although there will be some minor cleansing undertaken by the planet to cleanse specific areas of pressure and dense energies, which will result in some flooding, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, wherever possible this will proceed with a minimal or non existent loss of life. The 2010 volcano eruption in Iceland, flash flooding in Srinagar and the earthquakes in New Zealand had no loss of life. Disasters where loss of life does occur can attract and be of assistance to individuals who are choosing to leave Earth at this time.

The original request by the Earth when she first called for help was for beings to come here and act as light beacons. The intention was for them to incarnate and permeate the Earth with light, thus allowing Earth’s dense energies to be cleansed through the use of light. In this way, there would be no need for major disasters and chaos bringing pain and suffering, not only to humanity but to her other life forms as well. Golden etheric rods have been placed over the entire Earth’s surface, bedded deep into the structure. At this moment in time, only a few are still to be placed. This completely stabilises the Earth, preventing the possibility of any type of axis tilt to occur.

Just a reminder that anytime we choose to agree with disaster theories that speak of massive chaos or an axis tilt occurring, we are adding the energy and power of our thoughts to that scenario. We may also have our own fixed beliefs about this. If this is the case, then any channelling you receive will confirm those beliefs, even from highest realms of light. They have no choice, as this is a requirement of universal law. It applies to all beliefs. Beliefs can colour all channelling received. Unless you are able to completely detach from your own beliefs and you are able to ask or receive precise truth from the higher realms without still hanging on to the idea of wanting to be right – then channelling will definitely be coloured by, and appear to confirm, your own beliefs. Releasing our beliefs permits a new higher truth to enter the space. Many disaster type communications we hear are channelled from lower dimensions (regardless of where they say they are from) and are unable to see the current higher picture. They are holding on to older created scenarios that have been dramatically changed with the advent of the immense work done by the Light Force on Earth.

We are creators, so think wisely. Remember that in the 5th dimension our thought are instantly manifested.
Perhaps it is a good idea for us to start treating our thoughts with that same respect right now.
All will proceed now for the highest good.

Sandy Stevenson


I see myself in this category - I AM a Lightworker and I truly am waiting for this ascension - wether I get to take my body with me or not that does not currently matter - but I know with the work I am involved now that I will help people adjust to 5the dimension.

SAY NO TO TEMPTING FEAR AND YES TO LOVE

How important it is that we know when not to Fear!

When we know we are all one Earth, connected to the same field as our brothers and sisters, a part of Earth's Heart Beat, then sharing gets a whole new meaning. Not quite sure what I am talking about? Then example will be good:
Say you stand opposite of your friend, she is fully dressed like she always is, her make-up is perfect like it always is, but you know something is wrong, you ask she says nothing, you ask again sure that something is wrong, and she tells you.
Or you are walking alone at night on a dark street something tells you to go into a store, you feel you are not safe, it is so strong of a feeling you do it.
It is not just your intuition it is much more, You can read people, You can pick up on their energy field around them, You can feel their emotions - Can you? If you answered "yes" then read along.

You can feel others fear, you can feel it as this static noise, disturbing electric buzz OR a sticky goo like feeling weighing you down - depending on you preference and skills it is one of those or perhaps you have a better description to share.

Do you like this feeling? Do you like it within you or coming from others?
Do you enjoy its influence on your heart and body, and your Light?
No?
I do not either.

Now I would like you to imagine a natural disaster.
Go ahead go wild, draw from memory or make up something absolutely horrendous!

I will use a flood, horrible flood crushing little houses and huts, leaving in its tracks crying families stripped from absolutely all of their possessions, they are hurt, cold, grieving for lost family members.

Now what do you think will make them feel better... giving them solace, give them a hope, a shining light of grace and hope for a future where their house is rebuilt, there is food on their table, hand in hand with love and family, a place where they can remember the love of their passed family members and honor their goodness, remember their joyous moments together?

Perhaps Unconditional Love, being bathed it Light and Grace, their bodies being cradled with pure love in the arms of us, beating with their hearts in harmony in complete security that life will provide for them what they need as this lesson came to pass. Us giving them from our endless resources of Love and Happiness.

Or Fear? Do you think we should watch news, be horrified for weeks, Fear for thei lives and nutrition, read magazines and add add add to their situation more despair?

No - we know better!

We are better - what I recommend next time you see or hear of a horrid event, close you eyes and ears, silence you inner turmoil that rises and calm yourself down...

Now as you are calm and quiet, your mind at ease imagine your light rising, swelling from the center of your chest, your heart. Let it grow in steady flow or in a rapid burst to cover a whole earth.  
Feel your Unconditional Love that is tied to no being, no emotion, no body, no person, spread to those who you witnessed to be in need. Cradle their bodies in your Light in your arms covered in your Peace - Love - Harmony - Truth. Wipe their tears and replace them with The Truth that you love them and you will provide them with what they need the most - Love and Light, Happiness and Joy.

Know that you have done you part.

This is what we are being trained to do so that we can change Earth, change the course of events stop the cycle of Fear and Sadness.

If you believe that Love replaces Fear and Pity every time - then imagine us... US as a United Front of Love and Truth!

Who wants fear when they can have what we offer?

So next time you lose your temper, Laugh!
Next time you raise you voice in anger, Stop, quiet and Love!
Next time you beat yourself down, stop, quiet and Feel my Love for You.
Say it, Feel it, Enjoy it - I Love!

KALEVALA STUDIES PART 1 - POEM 50

At Merimiehenkatu 31 every other Thursday ( you can join any thursday you wish ) a two hour Kalevala study is held "The New Age Key to Kalevala" is the title. Yesterday was the first time, first session...

Kalevala begins and ends with immaculate birth, just like many, many, holy books before and after it. This is what we focused on in the first Kalevala study session.
Kalevala should be seen as a guide to inner enlightenment in a form of legends, heroics, actions and mythology.
All these poems should be taken inwards, as inner experience towards bettering our nature deeply.

The teacher Kauno Mannonen talks about how Väinämöinen present our Divine Will, Ilmarinen our Higher Emotions and Joukahainen our Reasoning inside us and Aino our Emotional Side, and Marjatta the extreme of our emotional nature.With these in mind when their lives are stated we see a whole New Kalevala open between the lines before our eyes.

When you read it is important what insights and ahaa-moment you get from reading it - those are your personal truths, what you need to learn right now from the Kalevala.

And we begin at the end...

We sit in the grand room with egyptian pillars going to the ceiling that holds the map of constallation, we sit in the middleof the room in a circle of chairs with one candle burning at the center on child tall candle holder. The walls around us have old white and blue Kalevala motifs and paintings which set the mood well.

Runo / Poem 50
MARJATTA
 
1 Marjatta, the beautiful,
For a long time grew at home
In her high-born father's house,
In her loving mother's chambers.
Five fine key chains she wore out,
And she wore out six good key rings
Of her father's many keys
Shining, jingling from her girdle.
9 And she wore out half the doorsill
With her brightly colored skirt hem, 10
Half the lintel overhead
With her smooth and silken ribbons,
Half the door jambs with her sleeve ends,
And the floorboards with the heels
Of her shoes with fancy uppers.
17 Marjatta, the beautiful,
She the little, dainty maiden,
Kept her virgin state untarnished
And her beauty all unblemished.
Always ate the nicest fish 20
And the softest pine bark bread;
Would not even taste of hen's eggs,
Hens that chanticleer had mounted;
Would not eat the flesh of ewes,
Any ewe a ram had mounted.
27 Even though her mother asked her,
She refused to do the milking,
And she said so in these words:
"No girl such as I would do it,
Touch the teats of any cow, 30
Any cow a bull had mounted -
It can't be unless the calves
Or the heifers trickle milk."
35 When her father ordered her
To hitch the stallion to the sleigh,
She would not hitch up the stallion.
When her brother brought a mare,
She said: "I won't hitch a horse,
Any mare a stud has mounted-
It can't be unless the foals 40
Or the month-olds do the pulling."
43 Marjatta, the beautiful,
Always living as a virgin,
As a slender bashful maiden
Lovely with her braided hair,
Had become a shepherdess
With a flock of sheep around her.
49 On the hill the sheep were grazing,
On the ridge the lambs were playing,
While she, roaming in the clearings, 50
Brushing lightly through the alders,
Heard a golden cuckoo calling,
Silver cuckoo sweetly singing.
55 Listening, she gazed about her,
Sat down in a berry patch,
Resting on the sunny hillside.
There she calls back to the singer:
"Sing, O sing, you golden cuckoo,
Call out loudly, silver cuckoo,
Let your clear-voiced notes ring out. 60
Saxon strawberry, tell me, tell me:
Shall I long go woolly-headed,
Long time as a shepherdess
On these wide and open clearings,
In these vast and leafy woodlands;
Summers two, or five, six summers,
Maybe even for ten summers,
Or perhaps it will be sooner?"
73 Marjatta, the beautiful,
Stayed a shepherdess too long. 70
It is hard to be a shepherdess,
Overmuch for any girl-child.
Snakes are slithering in the grasses,
Lizards wriggling here and there.

This is where we breaked to consider what was just read. As this is a myth and legend form it goes to show the excessiveness of the point that Marjatta is a virgin and how pure she has to be to bare a Christ Consciouness / Christ Self.

79 There's no slithering snake, no lizard,
But a berry calling from the hillside,
Lingonberry from the heath:
"Come, good maiden, come and pluck me,
Rosy-cheeked one, come and reap me,
Clear-voiced maiden, come to pick me, so
You, the copper-belted, choose me,
Now before a slug devours me,
Ere the black worm comes to eat me.
A hundred come to look me over,
A thousand just to sit beside me,
A hundred girls, a thousand women,
And the children without number -
None would touch me, no one pick me."
95 She went up to see the berry,
Pick the reddish lingonberry, 90
Pluck it with her dainty fingers,
With her slender hands so lovely.
101 She found the berry on the hill,
Red lingonberry on the heath.
It's a berry in appearance,
Lingonberry by the shape,
On a tree too high for picking
Yet too low to climb up after.
107 From the heath she snatched a stick,
With it knocked the berry down. 100
Then the berry started climbing
Up onto her lovely shoe top,
From her shoe top to her knee,
From her white knee to her apron.
115 Then it moved up to her waistband,
From the waistband to her bosom,
From her bosom to her chin,
From her chin up to her lips.
Then it slid into her mouth,
Tumbled quickly to her tongue, 110
From her tongue into her throat,
From her throat into her stomach.
123 After that she was contented,
And she felt herself fulfilled.
Then she put on weight, grew stouter.
127 So she let her waistband out,
Lounged about without a belt;
Went in secret to the sauna,
Doing hidden things in darkness.
131 And her mother pondered, wondered: 120
"What is wrong with our Marjatta,
With our good, home-loving chicken,
Since she let her waistband out,
Started dressing without a belt;
Going in secret to the sauna,
Doing hidden things in darkness?"
139 Here a child began to speak,
A little infant to explain:
"This is wrong with Marjatta
This indeed the matter with her - 130
She roamed as a shepherdess too long,
Lived too long among the cattle."
145 She bore her hard womb, her full belly,
Carried it for seven, eight months,
Bore it altogether nine months,
And, according to the old wives,
Halfway through into the tenth month.
151 So upon the tenth month then,
The virgin's birth pangs came upon her;
The contractions of her womb 140
Wrack her in an aching anguish.
155 She asked her mother for a sauna:
"O my mother, my beloved!
Make a warm place ready for me,
Warm room for a maiden's refuge,
Room for a woman's safe confinement."
161 But instead her mother burst out:
"Woe to you, you whore of Hiisi!
Tell me whose bed partner are you,
Married man or unmarried?" 150
167 Patiently the maiden answered:
"Neither married man nor unmarried.
I went berrying on the hill,
Went to pick a lingonberry.
Eagerly I took the berry;
Next I put it on my tongue
And it slid into my throat
And slipped down into my stomach.
That contented and fulfilled me,
And from that my womb was full." 160
179 She asked her father for a sauna:
"O my father, my beloved!
Make a warm place ready for me,
Small room for a weak one's refuge,
Where a girl may bear her birth pangs."
185 But her father answered curelly:
"Go away, you whore, you hussy,
Shameless hussy fit for hellfire
To the rocky caves of bruin,
Stony chambers of the bear; 170
There, you whore, to do your birthing,
Yean your young, you hell's own hussy."

We break again to talk about this, the immaculate conception. Of course in reality a man is needed to have a baby BUT what does it mean to be so pure to give birth unaided? See sauna was where birth was given for a long time Finland, and other nordic countries as well.

On the other hand we talked how Jesus as well said, if you follow me your family will be the first to condem you. Here happens the same, Marjatta's family doesn't approve of her spiritual endeavors and calls her names and don't want her around anymore - I'm sure many can relate how their family took their new state of spirituality.

193 She replied, thus prophesying:
"I'm no whore fit for hellfire,
I'm the bearer of the Great One,
Deliverer of the Sacred Birth,
Man-child who will rule the rulers,
Even rule old Vainamoinen."
201 Now the girl was in dilemma,
Where to go, where find refuge, 180
Whom to askabout a sauna?
Then she said to her small handmaid:
"Piltti, smallest of my maids,
Best of all my hired helpers,
Go and find a sauna for me;
Ask the villagers of Sedgebrook
Where a weak one may find comfort
And a girl may bear her suffering.
Go on quickly, hurry, hurry,
For the utmost speed is needed." 190
213 Said the little serving maid:
"But of whom shall I inquire,
Beg to give you this good comfort?"
217 Said Marjatta: "Ask of Ruotus
Living on the edge of Sedgebrook."
221 Piltti-ready to obey,
Willing without any urging,
Nimble with no need of orders -
Went out like a whiff of mist,
Like a puff of smoke outdoors; 200
Picked her hem up in her hand,
Held her clothing in her fist
As she ran and hurried on
Toward the home of ugly Ruotus.
Hills were ringing as she went,
Mountains quaking as she climbed them,
Pine cones bouncing on the moorland,
Gravel flying on the marshes.
She arrived at Ruotus' house,
Went into his log-built cabin. 210
237 Ugly Ruotus sat at table,
Eating, drinking like the great ones,
Dressed up in a linen shirt,
In a shirt of purest linen.
241 Ruotus grunted from his feeding,
Snarled .out from behind his dish:
"What are you saying, you mean creature,
Running round here for, you wretch?"
245 And the little Piltti answered:
"I am asking for a sauna, 220
Sauna from the Sedgebrook village
Where a poor girl might find comfort,
And the help is badly needed."
251 The ugly wife of ugly Ruotus
Comes in with her arms akimbo,
Flounced about where the floorboards meet
In the center of the floor
As she questioned little Piltti:
"Who's the one you want the bath for,
Who is it you're sniveling for?" 230
259 And the little Piltti answered:
"I am asking for our Marjatta."
261 Said the ugly wife of Ruotus:
"There's no sauna here for strangers
At the mouth of sedgy brook.
There's a bath on Burntover Hill
In a horse barn in the firwood
Where the whore of Hell may lie-in,
Bad one go to bear her child.
When the horse blows out its breath, 240
Let her take her sauna there."
271 Little Piltti ran back home
And repeated what was told her:
"There's no bathhouse in the village,
No sauna there at sedgy brook.
Ruotus' mistress said these words:
'There's no sauna here for strangers,
At the mouth of sedgy brook.
There's a bath on Burntover Hill
In a horse barn in the firwood 250
Where the whore of Hell may lie-in,
Bad one go to bear her child.
When the horse blows out its breath,
Let her take her sauna there.'
So it is, that's what she said,
Ifs all the answer I received."

Who is this Ugly Ruotus?
The neighbours, their ugly condeming of Marjatta in her new state of existence, while she is to enlighten with this new light, with "Christ Consciouness". Ugliness comes in many forms, unaiding, words, thoughts, shying away from the new light.
There is much to think here of what and who condemns you on your path to enlightenment?
Why this is not an easy path to walk but a hard one?

289 Marjatta now broke down weeping:
"I must go now as a hireling,
As a boughten slave of yore
Yonder to Burntover Hill, 260
To the clearing in the firwood."
297 Then she gathered up her skirt,
Holding up her hem for running;
Took a slapper for some shade,
Lovely spray of leaves for shelter.
On she ran despite her pains
To the horse barn in the firwood,
To the barn on Tapio's hill.
305 She says these words, these sentences:
"Come, Creator, be my refuge, 270
Be my help, thou Merciful,
In these toils, these times of sorrow.
Come relieve me from my labor,
Free a woman from her womb-ache
Lest she sink beneath her burden,
Perish in her painful labors."
315 When she got there to the horse barn,
She besought the good horse meekly:
"Let your breath blow over me,
Puffing vapor on my belly; 280
Breathe out sauna heat to warm me
That this weak one may be strengthened,
For my need is very urgent."
323 Then the good horse breathed on her,
Draft colt breathes out in deep puffs,
Puffed out sauna vapor on her,
On the belly of the sick one.
Where the good horse huffed out heavily,
Vapor rose, as wlien thrown water
Hits the hot stones in a sauna. 290
329 Marjatta, the lowly maiden,
She, the holy little maiden,
Took that sauna bath with pleasure
As the vapor soothed her belly.
She brought forth a little infant,
Bore a sturdy little man-child
On the soft hay of the manger,
In the manger of the long-mane.
337 Then she washed and swaddled him,
Took the man-child on her knees, 300
Held her son upon her lap.
341 But she hid him from the people,
Cared for him, her lovely one,
Golden apple, staff-of silver.
At her breast she suckled him,
In caressing hands she held him.
347 Set the babe upon her knees,
Held the infant on her lap.
She began to stroke his head
And to smooth his infant hair. 310

Born in a stable - sound familiar? It is in many immaculate birth myths - why? Why is this picture painted everywhere? Why among docile farm animals is our Christ Consciouness birthed? Do reply to this. :)
Is it because we are the last, highest step of animals before the next realm of spirit and angels? Is it that we are still in a physical body even though we are enlightened - among docile creatures that still lack a skill to be aware of themselves like the awakened do?

351 From her knee he disappeared,
From her lap the child had vanished.
353 Marjatta, in agony,
Rushes out to search for him,
Her little boy, her precious one,
Golden apple, staff of silver,
Searching under milling millstone,
Even under running runner,
Underneath the sifting sieve,
Underneath the carrying bucket. 320
She went searching everywhere,
Shaking trees and spreading hay,
Picking through the slender haystalks.
365 Long and everywhere she sought him,
Sought her little son, her dear one;
Searched on hills and through the pine groves,
Under stumps and through the heather,
Over every heathery moorland,
Brushing through the undergrowth,
Digging under junipers, 330
Even straightening out tree branches.
373 She is pondering as she goes,
As she wanders here and there.
On her way Star comes upon her;
Bowing down to Star she says:
"Oh Star, God's creation!
Do you know my little boy,
Where he is, my golden apple?"
381 Star responded to her meanly:
"If I knew I would not tell you. 340
It is he himself who made me
For these trying times of evil,
To shine out in the cold up here
And to twinkle through the darkness."
387 She is pondering as she goes,
As she wanders here and there.
On her way Moon comes upon her;
Bowing down to Moon she says:
"Oh Moon, God's creation!
Do you know my little boy, 350
Where he is, my golden apple?"
395 Moon knew how to answer her:
"If I knew I would not tell you.
It is he himself who made me
For these trying times of evil,
Put me here to keep night vigil
And to sleep away the daytime."
401 She is pondering as she goes,
As she wanders here and there.
On her way Sun comes upon her; 360
Bowing down to Sun she says:
"Oh Sun, God's creation!
Do you know my little boy,
Where he is, my golden apple?"
409 sun responded to her kindly:
"Certainly I know your son.
It is he himself who made me,
Created me for these good times,
Put me here to jingle golden,
Shed my showers of tinkling silver. 370
415 "Certainly, unhappy mother,
Well I know your little man-child.
But your son, your golden apple,
Has, alas, encountered evil:
Sunken waist-deep in the swamp,
To his armpits on the heath."

It vanishes, our Christ Consciouness  - why is this?
So we go we see the stars and the moon and we ask them, have you seen him? They say yes, but do not reveal it - why? But reveal he created them. Now comes the sun, the day, our spiritual wisdom and light and it reveals, yes I saw him and this is where he is. He is it the swamp, drowned to his armpits.
Now what is the swamp - it is water and earth mixed together.
What is water, is it purification, annoinment, clean enought to babtice with? What is this earth, our material or soil, fertile ground of growth?
So stuck is our Christ Consciouness armpit deep in a world of two things, divine and physical?

421 Marjatta, the lowly maiden,
Searches for him in the swamp;
There she found him in the fen
And from there she brought him home. 380
425 He was growing up so handsome,
Beautiful son of Marjatta.
No one knew what name to give him,
Knew the proper name to call him.
Mother would call him Little Flower,
Others call him Good-for-nothing.
431 So they hunted for a christener,
Looked for someone to baptize him.
An old man came forth to do it,
Virokannas to baptize him. 390
435 But the old man then objected:
"I won't christen one possessed,
Will not baptize this poor wretch,
Not until he's well-examined
And a judgement has been given."
441 Who should be the one to judge him,
To examine and to judge him?
Old reliable Väinämöinen,
Eternal knower, he was chosen
To examine and to judge him. 400
447 Väinämöinen gave his judgement:
"Since the boy came from a fen,
Sired by a berry of the earth,
Let him be put in the earth
There beside the berry patch,
Or then taken to the swamp,
Hit on the head there with a club."
455 But the boy, the half-month old one,
Fortnight infant, cried out boldly:
"O you miserable old man, 410
Miserable old man, you stupid,
What a muddle you have made
Of both judgement and the law:
Not for greater crimes committed
Nor the stupidest wrongdoing
Were you taken to a fen,
Hit on the head there with a club
When you yourself as a younger man
Pledged the daughter of your mother"
As a ransom for your own head 420
Just to save yourself from danger.
469 "And again you were not punished,
Were not taken to a fen
When you as a younger man
Drove those gentle girls distracted
To their deaths beneath the waves
On the black ooze of the bottom."
475 So the old man baptized him,
Gladly christened this good child,
King and lord of all Karelia, 430
As the guardian over all.

Väinämöinen, the hero of our stories, our Divine Will/Spirit, he judges the child to be returned but to death - why? Why would our Divine Will behave this way?
Let me ask it this way, have you ever shouted at the skies, give me sign, or I am done, through!
If this child truly is to be Väinämöinen successor why does he judge the infant this way?
And the two week old baby speaks. Proves it is the successor, Our Divine Will or Our Spirit is followed by our Christ Consciouness our Enlightenment. It speaks up, defends itself, proves it is what evryone else say it is.

479 Vainamoinen, shamed and angry,
Walked away down to the seashore.
There he sang his last enchantment:
Conjured up a copper boat,
Closed-in vessel decked with copper.
487 There he sat, steering seaward
Out upon the clear sea surface.
As he sailed he went on speaking,
And he said as he was leaving: 440
"Let the rope of time run out-
One day go, another come-
And again I will be needed.
They'll be waiting, yearning for me
To bring back another Sampo,
To invent another harp,
Set a new moon in the sky,
Free a new sun in the heavens
When there is no moon, no sun
And no gladness on the earth." 450
501 So old Vainamoinen sailed,
Sailed out in his copper vessel,
In his winged copper boat,
To the upper worldly regions,
To the lowest levels of the heavens.
507 There he halted with his vessel,
Rested weary in his boat.
But he left his harp behind,
Graceful instrument to Finland,
Joy eternal to the nation 460
And the great songs to its children.

It's still a mystery to me why Väinämöinen would be angry or shamed - our Dvine Will, our Spirit would not feel this, so is this for show, for the people, to emphasise his return? Perhaps he does feel shame at the airing of his dirty laundry this way?
But he leaves, promising to come back when there is no moon, no sun and no gladness on earth.
This is where finnish language comes to play, "kuu" meaning moon has similarities to the word death "kuol". So perhaps it can be interpeted that there will be time when our Divine Will will return in strenght is when death has been forgotten, when people no longer know what it is, don't know what happens at death at the "Night" of our existence. Return when also our sun no longer shines, our spiritual Light our spiritual fire no longer burns, and when gladness, joy is missing.
Sound familiar?

What is this Sampo he comes to usher forward in us?
Let's investigate a little. From: Kauno Mannonen's "Uuden Ajan Kalevala Avain." On pages 83-84.
Sampo can be interped as our Ethereal Body our spirit vessel that we forge life by life better and perfect. When it is our time rise up as we ascend (like jesus did) this Sampo will be our vessel.
Samboo in Sankrit mean Highest Awakening. Tibetian word Sangfu means secret source for all happiness, hungarian Sampog means Father God and Buddisht Samboodha means Highest Knowledge, Wisdom.

And this is where we ended the studies, looking at the epilogue as this was given as inner knowledge, not learned from someone, but gathered as inner wisdom not a physical heroics but is wisdom from our inner knowledge.

Epilogue
513 Now I ought to shut my mouth
And tie my tongue up tightly,
Stop the singing of the song
And the echoing of my voice.
Even a horse will lose its breath,
Winded by too long a journey,
And a scythe will lose its sharpness
After cutting hay all summer;
Water wearies of long running 470
Through the windings of the river,
And an ember will die out
After burning all night long.
So why should a poem not weary,
Fragile verses tire of tinkling
Through the long delights of evening,
From the songs at set of day?
529 So I've heard it as a saying,
But there is a different version:
'Not even the swiftest rapids 480
Ever runs out all its water,
Nor does any expert singer
Ever pour out all his wisdom.
To hold back a song is better
Than to cut it short halfway.'
537 So I'll cease and stop and end it,
In a ball I'll wind my verses,
Twist them in a tangled skein;
Put them in the storehouse loft,
Bolted there in bony locks 490
That they cannot be released,
Never, never be untangled
Till the bones themselves are loosened,
Teeth pulled out and jaws pried open
And the tongue be freed once more.
549 What of it then if I warble,
Babble out a string of verses,
If I sing in every valley,
Wail about in every firwood?
My mother's dead, my own one sleeping, 500
So my dear one is not listening ,
Nor my loved one here to teach me.
Only fir trees listen to me,
Only pine boughs left to teach me;
Tenderness I get from birch leaves
And caresses from the rowan.
561 I have been without a mother-
As a little boy I lost her -
Like a lark on stone abandoned,
Like a small thrush on a cairn; 510
Left to sing there as a lark bird,
To complain there like a thrush
In the cold care of a stranger,
Mercy of a mean stepmother:
Put me out, a helpless orphan,
On the wind side of the house,
Coldest corner of the cabin
For cold Ahava to take me,
For the wind to blow away.
575 Like a lark I strayed afar, 520
Like a wayward bird I wandered,
Hovered about here and yonder,
Felt the bite of every wind,
Learned to know each raging gale,
Shivering, crying in the cold.
583 Now indeed there's many a one,
Many a one who scolds at me,
Speaks to me in angry accents,
Sharply in a voice unfriendly.
Someone finds fault with my voicing, 530
Someone curses out my accent;
Someone says I'm out of rhythm
And my singing's out of tune,
That I sang too much and badly,
That my verse is badly turned.
593 Do not think it odd, good people,
That a child should sing too much,
Such a little one pipe badly.
I have never been instructed
Nor have learned in wizard lands, 540
Borrowed charm-words from outsiders
Nor my spells from far-off places.
601 All the others learned from teachers,
But I could not leave my home;
As my mother's only helper,
Could not leave her there all lonely.
So at home I learned my lessons
Under the rafters of our workroom,
There between my mother's distaff
And my brother's pile of whittlings, 550
Even that when I was little,
Small boy in a ragged shirt.
611 But however that may be,
I have skied a trail for singers,
Skied the trail, snapped the brush tips,
Broke the branches, showed the way.
That way now will run the future,
On the new course, cleared and ready
For new poets of greater power,
Singing songs of mightier magic 560
For the rising younger people,
For the new and growing nation.
