The Water Carrier

5th November, 2024.

The crystal-clear water feels icy as it flows gently over my feet, I watch the water rippling as it moves past.  I look up to see a beautiful white ethereal being floating in front of me, she is the spirit of these waters.  I bow my head in reverence to her.

You, Water Carrier, Water Maiden, come with me, I will show you the source of these waters, the spring, and you will drink from them.  These come from the ancient rivers deep underground, from the waters of creation.  They carry my wisdom, my gifts, my essence. 

We follow the river upstream until we arrive at the spring, where she directs me to drink. 

Can you feel the essence of me joining with your own inner waters, let them seep into your womb space, your own spring.  Fill yourself with the remembering of this wisdom. Carry and share this out into your world. Go forth.

I’ve been away this past week with my daughter looking for a place for her to move into.  Feeling the need to walk in the forest we drive to a place where we can do this within the city limits.  Not too far into our walk we find ourselves in a small animal reserve.

The unease we feel is instantaneous. The enclosures that the birds and animals are kept in are small and cramped. I wonder about the need for them to be locked up at all.  My eyes lock with a small wallaby, I begin to feel sad for him to be living in this bush so close to his natural habitat yet fenced in so he cannot roam freely.

In my mind I hear … I am just a reflection of you, ask yourself how different are you to me?

I begin to think how similar in fact as a society we are to these animals.  We are confined in our earthly prisons just like them.  So close to nature, but not free to be nature.  Our walls are built by the society that we are born into, by our parents, our education, our friends and kept in place by ourselves.  How do we break these down, how do we see beyond these walls, beyond the boundaries that surround us, that define us, so that not only can we be our nature selves once more, but we can open up to a newer and more expanded way of being so that we can weave a better world.

We think we are content in the comfortability of life just like these animals.  Not realising the incredible abundant gifts awaiting us just outside the confines of these walls we have built around us.  Our minds keep us within these walls – limited and restricted, sometimes not even knowing we are trapped, but at feel and sense there is something more out there for us, a better way to what we know and live yet we struggle to find it.

Just like my daughter, who is trying to break free from the family, societal and environmental walls that surround her. I watch her courage as she begins her journey out on her own, as she manoeuvres her emotions to break down these walls.  I know this will be not easy for her, and I will grieve this loss, as i already feel it upon me, but I am also excited to see where spirit will take her, what her soul will choose to consciously create in this world.

To master the mind, to open it to infinite potentialities is key.  We must impress upon the subconscious in a different way for our outer world to be changed.  By directing the mind into the consciousness you desire, feeling it and living it as if it were already happening – can ignite our subconscious into creating it for us.  This is how I see the union of the masculine conscious mind with the feminine sub-conscious.  Although I like to think the feminine sub-conscious is in fact our womb space rather than our mind.  The womb, this place where we co-create with the Divine, our Creator.  By planting the new seed of change from the masculine conscious mind into the subconscious, the feminine is able to grow and create this within us, manifesting it out into the world. 

The more I observe, the more convinced I am that this world is happening for us.  Seemingly insignificant and sometimes significant events are actually not random but in fact threads in the same weave of the same great web.  Our web, intertwined and woven with all those around us known and unknown.  If we observe the daily happenings we can consciously work with these in creating our own consciousness and that by choosing to do this, we can in fact create a new reality filled with all that we desire for a greater world.

As I lay here in that state between dreaming and waking, I sense another liminal space, it feels like I can connect my subconscious, the feminine with the conscious, the masculine.  Here they can unite and speak of being in a new way, living already beyond the old Earth.  I lay here in this space, dreaming.

The womb, the water spring, the well within us, the feminine, the subconscious, this is the place of the water carrier, connected to the creator spirit.  Carrying forward my waters with the waters of the Divine, creating my consciousness, consciously directed by my masculine, guided by the Great Mother Creator.

And so I imagine myself cutting through the wired fence until I make a big enough hole that the animals, the birds, and I can free ourselves.  And when I turn I see Lily cutting a hole in the fence that surrounds her, and as she steps through I know that she will always remain in my heart regardless of where she goes.  We are all free to walk the wilderness that is truly living.

Observe everything, how does the Earth speak to you, what is it saying.  This world is happening for us to discover who we are, what roads we will follow, which way we will go, what beauty we will create, what is it you are weaving into this New Earth that we are living now.  Will you set yourself free from the boundaries, the walls that surround you?
