Dear Ones,
THE FUTURE ROLE OF MEN
I see it can be very hard for men in these days of the great change. In aeons past, they have been the great Protectors, the Wise Shepherds of this World.
In future, what shall their role be?

MEN AND SEXUALITY
I had an interesting experience the night before last. My EMF (electromagnetic field) was huge, gigantic really. Joined to me in an etheric act of sex was a man.
Though he felt he was the only man, I sensed many men there too, each with a different woman.
Though each man felt he was the man performing this act, and each woman felt she was the woman performing this act, yet I sensed each was my own Soul, performing this act with my own physical body.
In one sense, we cause the act of sexual delight, each with another partner.
In another sense, we are the Cause, and we are the Partner.
In another sense, there is no Cause and no Partner, and yet, there is that Experience of Supreme Joy.

ALICE’S VISION DURING A LONG MEDITATION: MEN AS CHILDREN OF GOD
Image: Baby Krishna carried over the Yamuna River by his father Vasudeva. And so Lord Krishna is fondly called Vasudevaya, ‘the son of Vasudeva’, https://iamofthestars.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/3838d-ta-118.jpg ..
I had a vision once, in the early 2000’s. I was meditating in an Indian-style temple. It was during a long evening meditations, interspersed with some beautiful kirtan.
There was a courtyard outside. Both day and night it sparkled with blue white light, not just down near the ground, where people walked, but high up into the sky.
In my vision, Lord Krishna sat in the courtyard. His etheric essence filled the courtyard, shimmering out into the temple and the parking lot, and higher still. He held his hand out in front of him, at heart level, cupped.
In his hand sat a person playing kirtan, completely immersed in Divine love. The picture above reminds me a little of my vision.
MEN AND DESIRE
Image: “Lord Krishna Swallows the Uncontrollable Forest Fire,” http://david.deltaflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Krishna-swallows-fire.jpg … story here: http://david.deltaflow.com/?p=2429 ..
The fire of desire may seem uncontrollable. But Divine Masculine is its master!
The Shift occurs on realizing that the object of desire lies not outside us, but within us.
Desire begins to be felt, not by our body toward another person, but by our Soul toward our Human Form.
So Desire becomes manifestation of the Divine in this physical form. Fulfilled ceaselessly, in Highest Joy, as an act of creation, in the Now. (2)
NONDUALITY

I AM THAT ETERNAL FLAME
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
27 January 2015
I am that Eternal Flame.
I am the Light and the Life.
I am the Way and the One who has found it.
I am the Dark that shapes this Light.
I am the All.
I am that within the All,
nurtured and nurturing.
Always the flame.
Ever changing.

FOOTNOTES
(1) I feel it is a mistake to imagine these are two separate people.
Rather, to me it seems this is a picture of the One God, at one with His Creation.
So then, as a man identifying with Godness, how can he look down on woman, who is one with him?
Is it not true that a woman bore us?
Who then is higher? Who lower?
If we are That, is She not the Source of That?
Guru Nanak wrote a beautiful prayer about this. See Citation: “Raag Aasaa Mehala 1” by Guru Nanak, Page 473; http://www.srigurugranth.org/0473.html .., Search the term: From woman … and then read the following text.
