The Space Between Time

“We are the stillpoint of eternity functioning in the world of time.”  Adyashanti.

The other day I was reflecting on helping someone heal from their trauma, and it was shown to me, rather unexpectedly, that there is a space between time.  We have our histories, our stories, our trauma, and there is a space in between time and the human struggle.  It’s almost like the space between tectonic plates or dimensions.

This space between time has no trauma.  It is just Source.  It is eternal.  It is always here.  It is who we are, all together.   No matter what happens in your human life, the space between time, which is without story, without pain, without death, is here too.   It is not a spiritual bypass.  It co-exists within you. It doesn’t need anything to change. It’s the truth of your timeless being, side by side with the karmic patterning.  You don’t have to wait for special circumstances to find it.  The space between time is here now.  See for yourself and enjoy.

The Goddess of Excrement

The Goddess of Excrement,   Tlazolteotl (pronounced tla-sol-TAY-otl), is from Aztec mythology, and is the most revered and important of all goddesses. She has black around her mouth as she eats all pain, trauma, grief, anger, shame, and sins.  She transforms these into fecundity for the field of life.  She represents both death and birth, filth and purification, all at the same time.  She is all-inclusive.

She is the regeneration of things untouchable and shameful into something fertile. She makes what is difficult into a life-giving force.  She is bold.  She is fearless.  Next time you encounter something difficult in yourself or another, call upon the Goddess of Excrement to help you.  Eat the pain and problems and transform them into a new birth.
