Christ-in-mas

A Christmas Poem
Some say He died
on the cross
Suffered for our
sins in Gethsemane
So that not one
soul would be lost
A shining beacon
for humanity
Some sell His
story for gain
And annihilate His
true followers
Forsake Him each
and every day
A planet of
shadow-wanderers
Some watch for His
return
And pray for Him
at Christmas
But don’t they
know the truth?
We are
Him—Christ-in-mas
Does anyone really understand how
powerful a “Christ-in-mass” message would be to the world? What if everyone was truly connected with
their Christ self—their God self—and acted in that power? Do you think we could transform the
world? ABSOLUTELY!! And that’s exactly what I’m asking you to do
RIGHT NOW!!
I want you to get really, really real with yourselves in
this very moment like I’m going to get
real with you here. No more
jokes. No more stories. You’re going to get the REAL DEAL straight
from the horse’s (or should I say J. Bird’s) mouth. NO MORE HOLDING BACK!! I’m not even going to give you my explanation
for why I held back before because it’s just an excuse (“ex-use” meaning not
useful anymore) and there are no more
excuses. There is just right here,
right now and these words in black and white.
I seriously don’t know how much time
we have before everything as we know it collapses, but having had 11 children,
I do know that Mother Earth is beginning her labor pains. And like any mother in labor, you’d better
get prepared for the transition just before the child is born, because when
hard labor comes—you’re not going to be thinking about anything else. But the child will surely arrive even though
during transition you think you’re going to die—and many of you will if they’re
not prepared.
If you’re still living “on the grid”
(what I call the “gridlock”) you might as well forget it. You better pray to “EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY
CAUSE TOMORROW YOU SHALL DIE”—AND HOPE THAT YOU DO!! ‘CAUSE IT AIN’T GOING TO BE A PRETTY SIGHT
WHEN YOU WAKE UP FROM THAT HANG-OVER THE NEXT DAY AFTER MOTHER EARTH SHIFTS!!
Okay, I promised I would no longer
be a doomsdayer as I lived more than 20 years of my life with someone who still
believes that the world’s going to come to an end any minute now and so you
better sit tight with your gun in your hand protecting your food storage ‘cause
they’re going to come and get it if you don’t. That ain’t no fun and it ain’t no way to live
your life—always worrying about when the end of the world is coming. That’s one of the reasons I came down off my
mountain in Montana ‘cause I just couldn’t deal with that negative type of
energy anymore. (That and the polygamy
shit sort of threw me for a loop.)
So here’s the beautiful or balanced
solution to that old story which I’m going to quote from J. Donald Waters in
his book Intentional Community:
In his last years on Earth, the
great teacher, Paramhansa Yogananda repeatedly and urgently spoke of a plan
that he said was destined to become a basic social pattern for the New Age: The
formation of "world brotherhood colonies" as he called them would be
formed. In almost every public lecture,
no matter what his announced subject, he would digress to urge people to act
upon his proposal.
"The day will come," he
predicted, "when this idea will spread throughout the world like
wildfire. Gather together, those of you
who share high ideals. Pool your resources. Buy land in the country. A simple life will bring you inner
freedom. Harmony with nature will give
you happiness known to few city dwellers.
In the company of other truth seekers it will be easier for you to
meditate and to think of God."
I’m not so sure where this whole
Maui adventure’s going to end up (it doesn’t look as delightful as it did in
the beginning) but I’ve got 15 acres I’m developing in Indianola and its
destiny is to become an Eco-village, which is an economically and ecologically
sustainable community. Brad and I are
inviting all of you out there who are listening to my rantings and ravings to
join us in whatever capacity you can to build an intentional community of
creative, loving, joyful, ecstatic and blissful people—not to escape the
apocalypse—but because this is what we genuinely want to create as a sole and
“soul” desire to bring peace to the planet.
I call it my “love in action” plan.
We can’t bring Peace on Earth Good Will toward Men to other people until
we can genuinely claim it for ourselves.
P.I.P. (Practice Inner Peace) I call it.
And so if you’d like to join with
Brad and me and anyone else who wants to join this Christ-in-mass celebration
of Peace on Earth—grab your favorite person, tell them you love them (or better
yet—make love to them) and pray for a better future for us, our children and
our children’s children. I KNOW GOD
HEARS OUR EVERY PRAYER AND THAT IS
THE FORCE THAT POWERS THE SACRED MATRIX.
AND THAT MATRIX IS REAL!! THE OTHER ARTIFICIAL MATRIX IS READY TO
COLLAPSE SO IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE THE VICTIMS OF 9-11, I’D SUGGEST YOU
GET OUT OF THE WAY!!
So get out your rakes, shovels,
backhoes, lumbar, saws and pocket change (yes, money is also welcome)—but
especially your spirit of community and join the cause of actually “building
intentional community” and dig in with us this spring (when I get back from
Maui again) to help build one of many Heartsong
Living Centers. In the meantime send
prayers and positive intentions for forward movement in transitioning the
planet from the darkness of the womb into the brightness of life. And send out lots of love and compassion to
one another and especially the politicians who may have gotten us into this
mess in the first place. There is power
in numbers and power in knowledge and so please forward this message to anyone
else you know.
But first and foremost—let’s make
life fun and creative and filled with lots of love and laughter always. And I promise you no more doomsday talk or
“White Buffalo Woman” talk (unless you truly want to hear about it) ‘cause I
really do believe in “you and me together livin’ in perfect harmony” like in my
song Crazy Lady.
Some called the lady crazy
Got
a dream caught in her eye
Some
say she's full of fantasy
And
they never could figure out why
And
some who didn't know her
Say,
"she's got the devil under her skin"
But
if they’d ever get close enough
Would
know the spirit that dwelt within
She
dreamed about a place somewhere
The
she could call her home
She
imagined a people
That
she could call her own
She
talked about a process
Of
livin' in harmony
Where
hate and envy disappear
And
love flows gentle and free
I
see flowers bloomin' in sunlight
Rainbow
dews from heaven above
Birds
and butterflies wingin' in midflight
And
the air is filled with love
I
see you and me together
Livin'
in perfect harmony
Let's
imagine it all together
It's
as simple as you and me
Perhaps
the lady's crazy
But
her dream is bound to come true
And
if it's just a fantasy
I
hope other folks have one too
And
if she's full of the devil
Then
he must be a pretty good guy
'Cause
I know that lady's heart is true…
I'm that lady
'til the day I die
I
see flowers bloomin' in sunlight
Rainbow
dews from heaven above
Birds
and butterflies wingin' in midflight
And
the air is filled with love
I
see you and me together
Livin'
in perfect harmony
Let's
imagine it all together
It's
as simple as you and me
You
and me—one, two, three
Wishing you all the blessings of a
Very Merry Christmas and prayers for a Very Happy and Prosperous New
Years. Peace, love and joy always—Janae
