Cynthia Isis A.

In a dream long ago I was told that I am a mystic dreamer in a coat of many colors and that this is to be my path through the world in this life...living in many worlds at once is my reality..... Shamanic wisdom I find most helpful. So with the ancient Jackal and the Opener of the Ways I walk in life and in dreams. The old religion of Egypt, of Isis and Osiris, and the way of the native americans speak to me most profoundly...but all true paths lead to the Source and to that place of the first time...

Here is an invocation of the First Time in Old Egyptian


kheper-i kheper kheperu kheper-kuy m kheperu n Khepri kheper m sep tepy...

"[when] I became, the becoming became, I have become the becoming [the form] of Khepri who came into being on the First Time...

...when I became, the transformations became, all the metamorphoses coming to pass after I had become."

translated Lucy Lamy, Egyptian Mysteries

I have been listening to an old song... images of a haunted and wild west that did and does still really exist on its own special part of the astral plane... Lots of very haunted Ghost Towns out here in the west with real live ghosts.... and these cowboys were not friendly in life and they are not in their earth bound state now either!

The Song is nice though! Ghost Riders in the Sky

Listening to Joni Mitchell's Ladies of the Canyon

and I am listening to Twelve Thirty by the Mamas and Papas... Young girls are coming to the Canyon and in the mornings I can see them walking.. I can no longer keep my blinds drawn... and I can't keep myself from talking...

Some of my favorite lines from the Rubaiyat


AWAKE! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.

Dreaming when Dawn's Left Hand was in the Sky
I heard a voice within the Tavern cry,
"Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup
Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry."

Ah, my Beloved, fill the Cup that clears
TO-DAY of past Regrets and future Fears---
To-morrow?---Why, To-morrow I may be
Myself with Yesterday's Sev'n Thousand Years.

Iram indeed is gone with all its Rose,
And Jamshyd's sev'n-ring'd cup where no one knows;
But still the Vine her ancient Ruby yields,
and still a Garden by the water blows.

-From the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

"He who knows does not speak.
He who speaks does not know.
Close the mouth.
Shut the door of desire.
Blunt the sharpness.
Untie the tangles.
Soften the light.
Become one with the dusty world."
( Lao Tzu, in the sixth century B.C.

"Now there are some things we all know, but we don't take'm out and look at'm very often. We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars .... everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for 5000 years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being.-
From "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder
