ORGANIC BODY AND MIND + FINNISH CHRONICLE FROM 1620'S

I would like to talk about recent changes in my attitudes, thoughts and actions towards the moral and soul consciouness of Nature and our home Planet. And little about a recent find of books. :)

I was walking back from meeting my mom after work thinking I really wanted organic shampoo and conditioner. I have been using Loréal and Herbina before, and wanted to change because I wanted organic clean products plus I wanted to stop using Loréal because of their evil agenda in using animals in testing their products.
So I walk into Grass Roots Ecological Market/Ruohonjuuri Ekomarket in Itäkeskus, end up buying finnish organic honey, organic potatoes and seed n' grain veggies patty materials, as well as Cranberry-Rooibos-Ginger Shampoo and Aloe Vera and Xylitol Conditioner. Best thing about the hair products is that you can go and re-fill the bottles instead of cause more plastic trash. :) Plus they smell heavenly! And I feel I am doing my part for the environment and keeping my body chemical free. Also I'm using the Lumene Natural Code for make-up these days. :)

It feels great to give in to my soul and eat and use products that are the current best for the earth and for the body. :)

Earlier that day I went to get a drink with mom, now that bar terrace season is on full power, but as I was there early I decided to visit the Minä Olen Store right next to the Restaurant, I was happy to find they had a book sale! I found the first finnish chronicle written in 1620's by a priest who was doing time in Kajaani fortress, "Finnish Chronicle" by Johannes Messenius, and it was only 1€ ( check these entries to know why I was so excited to find the chronicle ) . Then I found "Starlight Elixirs & Cosmic Vibrational Healing" by Smulkis & Rubenfield for 5€.
As I was about to pay I saw Maria Zavou walk in to do a angel course upstrais I saw her lecture in Minä Olen-Fair in beginning 2011, I recall leaving the lecture quite early.

Anyway I met my mother on the terrace next, as you know by my intro I don't drink alcohol, so I had some Cranberry & Ginger Ale. The funny thing about this hour was that while we were talking about Reiki, Past lives and Channeling the neighbouring tables were afwul quiet and listening, sometimes you can tell when people listen, and they had their ears wiggling our way.

That was my day yesterday, today on the other hand has been all about my 6th ( Iron ) Wedding Anniversary with my husband. :) Might post a picture entry of it after I finish watching Juno.

FINLAND'S DEVA & MY PAST LIFE IN 900'S FINLAND

I am reading a Finnish book online at the moment, it was written in 1913 by Pekka Ervast, a Rosicrucian and Theosophian who wrote wonders about the Finnish nation, our History and Culture in spiritual light.

This Book is called Newly Born Finland ( Uudesti Syntyvä Suomi ) it discusses the Deva, the Protective Spirit, the National Spirit of Finland.

I've reached Chapter 3. Where he writes that old Finnish souls from our Golden Age begun to reincarnate back to Finland around 1900. Before this they had traveled the world, being born in India, China, Italy, France and Germany learning from other Cultures. And Being born back to Finland at the time when Finland ( though writing this he didn't know just how right he was ) was raising its head from being oppressed for quite many years, generations. He writes how Finnish people had to hold on to their nature, Finnish nature during this oppressive time and that took a lot of energy, hence the quiet era where not a lot of Finnish Culture was known in Europe and beyond. But as 1900 begun and old Finnish souls from the golden age returned we begun to see such people as Sibelius where he in 1900-1902 breaks through to International Stage.

Why I find this interesting is that have intuitive knowledge of having other lives in Finland, knowledge that I come back from time to time check up on Finland. This is interesting as I just recently had Clearing done on my Akashic Record, two lives to be exact, and one of them was in 900th Finland, the woman who did this Clearing told me I lived in the Oulu area in 900's and I was the Shaman of the tribe.


I channeled my Higher Self this morning ( I'm going to use the term "her" as I am a woman in this life time, but in Finnish him and her are represented by one word "hän" which means both genders ) considering my earlier life in Finland. I asked her if I had an earlier life in Finland, she answered yes. I asked if I had been a Shaman, she answered yes. I asked if I had lived in 900's, she answered yes. I asked if I had lived in Oulu area, she answered yes. I asked if I had been a man or a woman, she answered man. I asked her to show me an image of myself from that time, and saw immediately a man sitting on a rock seat fire in front of him and early night, he had longer hair that had natural dreads mixed in his hair from time to time, he had a short beard, and he was thin, I got the mental image he didn't, I didn't eat a lot. But I saw muscles in his legs so he wasn't sickly thin. I asked her what happened in that life time that had lingered with me before the Akashic record was cleared, she told me the earth changed, I tried to see but she told me it wasn't a catastrophe, but subtle change in the earth, crops didn't grow as they use to. I had tried my best with the knowledge that I had to make the ground fertile, she told me I did what I could but something’s are meant to happen.
I then asked her is there something she'd like me to know, she showed me kissing the forehead of a young girl, platonic kiss and she told me I passed on my knowledge to the girl, what I knew of incantations and medicines.

This self-exploration was brought on by the Ervast book, and I am thinking there are many more to read on the matter of Finns and our Golden Age, The Kalevala and Finnish Spirituality. But these are my thoughts for now.

Love, Light and Joy!

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!

BEING FINNISH - WHY ARE YOU BORN WHERE YOU ARE NOW?

Aino by Akseli Gallen-Kallela
To begin I start with reincarnation - I believe we are born again and again to learn a predetermined lessons to figure out Who Am I. Where you are isn't the thing to focus on per say, except if you feel drawn to your countries spiritual history - because then there are things to consider:
  • You have been involved from the beginning of your human cycle in evolving this culture, especially spiritually.
  • You are drawn to the spiritual practice because there is something there that is very important for you to remember and learn.
  • It is one of your purposes to bring out the tradition, or information of the practices that can be beneficial to humanity now.
  • And myriad other reasons that you can understand deeply within yourself...
Little about why I feel drawn to my country's spiritual history:
When I was 18 my mother and my mother's twin sister took me to a lecture with them, the title of it was Being Kalevala (Kalevalalaisuus), if I recall right it was held by Matti Kuusi or Juha Pentikäinen - here is where my memory slightly fails on me. ;)
But what I do recall clearly is being thoroughly impressed how much old Finnish mythology intertwined with my spiritual view (even thought my spiritual view was only 5 years old) it was the truth to me, I knew it immediately.
From the Kalevala
After the loss of his first wife to Kullervo's curse, the disheartened Ilmarinen attempts to craft a new one from gold and silver, but finds the golden wife hard and cold. Dismayed, he attempts to wed her to his brother Väinämöinen instead, but the old sage rejects her, saying that the golden wife ought to be cast back into the furnace and tells Ilmarinen to "forge from her a thousand trinkets". Speaking to all of his people, he further adds:

    "Every child of Northland, listen,
    Whether poor, or fortune-favored:
    Never bow before an image
    Born of molten gold and silver:
    Never while the sunlight brightens,
    Never while the moonlight glimmers,
    Choose a maiden of the metals,
    Choose a bride from gold created
    Cold the lips of golden maiden,
    Silver breathes the breath of sorrow."
http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/kveng/kvrune37.htm - Golden Bride in full text
The tale of the Golden Wife can be seen as a cautionary tale based on the theme where money cannot buy happiness and marrige and choosing your partner wisely. Having someone who looks good and is valueable but is cold and hard makes for a bad match. All the tales in Kaleva are to be throught through for their meaning to adapt to your life.
As impressed by it as I was... Life happened. Things got pushed to the back burner, they simmered there waiting.

Väinämöinen and The Maiden of The North by R.W Ekman
Being wiccan in a point of my development made Kalevala Mythology completely natural to me - it was after all very nature based, with god of the forest Tapio and goddess of the waters Wellamo, and so on...
But it wasn't till few years ago when I remembered Kalevala and felt frawn to it, I wrote a book, read Kaari Utrio, listened to Suo, studied finnish spiritual practises, god and goddess mythology.
The Fall and Winter have turned out to be the perfect times for studying Finnish Mythology, in the growing darkness the spirit of Finland rises from the ground with the mesmerizing mist and fog of the early morning. It dances over grass and water and calls you to remember. It is Fall again.

Yesterday - I read for the first time that there is a view of Finland in certain circles where they talk of Finno-Ugric language being the original language and early Finns having a grander history than what school teaches us. Naturally, I was intrigued!
"We came from the East and at the peninsula of Denmark we parted ways. The other group headed for South to Germany and middle europe, the other moved to North, aproximately 5000 years ago. [...] There are many studies that finnish language (old finnish) was the original language. These result have been made by Gustaf Kossina. Germans have gotten their culture from a higher culture called Urfinns, the original Finnish people. Reserched has showed connections to Russhian Monasteries and Great Britan's Royal Chronicals. Mannonen sees that Finns have never been a vast amount of people, but a spiritually magnificent one. 'Finns have brought their culture to where they have traveled. We have been a great nation, who has never buckled under depression.' 'We have had a more noble view of the world as Kalevala testifes. We were not a warring nation like the barbaric tribes. Instead we were the people who spread civilisation and culture... [...] Original finns and remained a clean bloodline, this has been studied by scientifically through our genes." ~Kauno Mannonen's interview in Minä Olen - Magazine 4/2010 (translation to english from finnish by yours truly)
This article, interview, above was several pages long, and has inspired me to seek more information about my countries spiritual history. Why? Because like I stated at the very beginning and in my own introduction to my history with Kalevala - It is meant to be. For one reason or another I have to learn as much as I can.
This almost makes me laugh, that I have to!
I do feel I have had many lives as a Finn, and as I feel most connected to Wellamo I feel there is history there as well. Luckily I have up to 90 years to figure this out. ;)

I will stop here as I have nothing yet to continue this on, but feel free to check out my entry of Kings of Finland.
Also people to research who were mentioned in the magazine article are:
Kauko Manninen
Pekka Ervast
Tapio Kaitaharju
Juha Pentikäinen  - books.google.fi Kalevala Mythology (especially page 225, 'Language & Cultural Identity')
Matti Kuusi

And these following mostly-neutral sites on Finno-Ugric history, if this topic has peaked your interest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_languages
http://www.helsinki.fi/~jolaakso/fufaq.html - Frequently Asked Questions about Finno-Ugrian Languages

click for a bigger picture and easier read

But with this said, we cannot get too focused on one country, and one group of people. We have to remember that we are One, body, mind and soul, and though this school teaches us many things through many channels we have to remember to not take vain pride in just one thing (be it "my" country, "my" culture or "my" history). But recall that what is important and share.

Love, Light, Joy & Unity!

KINGS OF FINLAND

If you haven't heard this before, I do not wonder, it's been kept silent, and only lately The Chronicals of Erik have been believed to be fictive. So History of Finland gets a whole new long forgotten twist on it.
