Bridge to Being

Today’s episode is going to be a little unconventional, kind of like our Lobsterbird. We are going to be getting a bit quantum in this episode with her mother, Sumi, who is also a known food psychic. Modern Magic has brought Sophia back to her childhood home on Long Beach Island, where Sumi shakes a ham at her and answers deep questions about banchan (Korean tiny side dishes), fortune, and how our quality of life might be tied to the quality of tradition and culinary provision from the land. Your Creative Sparks: KOREAN FOOD is very tied to the LAND and to the SEASONS.  GOOD FOOD is...

The Looking Glass of Your Love Frequency with Julie Pierce in Ireland show art The Looking Glass of Your Love Frequency with Julie Pierce in Ireland

Bridge to Being

Lobsterbird returns to us from the rolling land, a myriad of greens and wildflowers, so many fields that just ARE. They aren't getting mowed, and they are perfectly perfect anyway. The animals are keeping them. Grasses are growing where they need to grow. The flowers are reaching up. With Julie Pierce, we reflect on our truth and being-ness - one can only behold that which is within. When we look through this mirror with radical acceptance and love, we enter a portal that beams with our radiant heart. Your Creative Sparks: The origin of the YOUME TREE. I see you, and therefore I can see me....

Bridge to Being

Today we are transmitting from the beautiful, sensual land of Bali in Indonesia, introducing *Yoni Dancer* fresh from the Bali Pilgrimage. Lyoni experienced the “arc of healing” which represented lifetime of healing in only ten days. The crucible of pilgrimage allowed her to discover she could be her authentic self, in all her unique glory, and still be accepted, embraced and loved. She also discovered a new language of energy, one that is felt in the body and personified in the dance.

Bridge to Being

This hero’s global journey leads her Home. But where is Home? Home is a place where we build our world with our breath, letting the walls be an air of spaciousness and freedom for all beings, including animal beings, plant beings and human beings. We can be at home amid the symphony of crickets, cicada and geckos, under the pitter patter of rain on a thatched roof. “I can find Home where I am - Where the Heart is. I now finish this story to release it and let it go, because there is a new story to be to

As Part Two of this story unfolds, we discover the fantastical how this Lobsterbird landed on her spiritual path. On the heels of completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, and having read “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki, Sophia returned to a life that was fundamentally and dramatically changed. She was seriously considering moving into a monastery and becoming a nun. “A Wrinkle in Time” lands her instead in Maine, risking life and limb to release trapped lobsters back into the wild...

Bridge to Being

The more we tell our stories, the further they move from the truth. Thankfully, this story was recorded close to the truth in a blog written back in 2015, after Lobsterbird returned from her first pilgrimage in Shikoku, Japan. Her entire reality was shattered and shifted. She returned home completely rudderless, left out in the spaciousness to rediscover what the world really is - and what our path is, and how to find it. This episode was recorded Live in Bali as part of a deep investigation of HOME.

Your Creative Sparks:

  • TIME and SPACE are not as they seem. In fact, they are not even REAL.
  • There is a BELL CURVE to HEALING, where CRISIS often precedes FREEDOM.
  • When you HEAL, you have to bring up SHADOW. You have to understand the PAIN.
  • We can’t SPIRITUALIZE our way out of FEELING what needs to be CLEARED.

Your Travelogue

  • My hope is that what I'm about to share with you helps us look at traumatic things in a whole new way. [2:17]
  • Thank you Dragonfly! I have been liberated from a set of shackles or chains that I *maybe* sensed were around me, but I didn't think they were, you know, that big a deal. [9:24]
  • “It’s a tricky weave we web here.” Do we cut through the illusion, or do we avoid it? Hashtag paradox alert! [11:11]
  • Okay, so it’s September. I am integrating and trying to do nothing. Except...  [17:51]
  • Be careful when you make deals with Spirit. They will make a deal back, and they will up the ante. [22:14]
  • Tibetan yoga and lucid dreaming - my obsession and frustration and another synchronicity leads me further down the rabbit hole. [28:12]
  • I'm feeling even more connected to the quantum field with every step I take, knowing that the ground is not real and neither are my feet. Then this unreal ground gets pulled out from under me. [31:52]
  • I go outside and I'm walking around to the pumpkin patch and I'm like, Whoa, wait a second. My truck... [38:39]
  • Someone has been in the house. Nothing obvious and valuable has been stolen, but precious, personal mementos are missing… as is my orange bikini. [43:22]
  • If you want to debate how your thoughts create your reality, go right ahead, but I know that when I was little, I had this recurring nightmare where I was in this very house that I'm looking at right now from the sacred portal spot. [49:06]
  • Let's just say there was something that was rising up in me. [53:57]
  • It wasn't like I was like, Ooh, I'm just going to spiritualize this. And like, everything's energy and it's all fine. All of this stuff was coming up, and I was feeling it deeply, and then it moved through me, and I just kept clearing it. [1:00:24]
  • I was like Frodo with the ring in the fires of Mordor. I was a hunter to my own fear. [1:03:23]
  • I feel better than ever. I feel more confident than ever, especially that I can handle whatever comes my way. Like my new pilgrimage to India! You can join me, If you want to, you know, be able to face whatever circumstances come to you and allow them to be things that help you awaken and self actualize and heal. [1:10:41]

UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES

The Co-Creation Project is our brand new jam! and we are inviting a small group of like-spirited beings to join.

what the world needs right now are Light Warriors who are willing to go deep—to co-create from the quantum field of all potential and fully embody that energy here on earth. it’s not enough to say we’re spiritual, to spout off wisdom and/or meditate in a void. this world needs us to bring all this energy into a state of complete beingness, compassion, and interconnectedness with life, and see what new earth emerges from that kind of collaboration.

we gotta walk our talk. it takes community willing to do the work together to learn to be together in new ways. we must become attuned to the earth and larger ecosystem—physically, intuitively, emotionally, and analytically—to train and develop this kind of intelligence. 

this is full-on integration and birthing new ways of being. in The Co-Creation Project, we'll come together as a community, to unleash our creative power and tap into a new realm of collective inspired action. the result will be a social action art project that will add fire to all your other endeavors and ignite possibilities for your life that you’ve dreamt of.

this next journey is going to be wild. it will be deeply healing and transformative. it will be the most rewarding work we can do.

want to Co-Create together? we can do it from anywhere on the planet and all you need is an open heart. if you feel those spirit tingles, inquire: [email protected]

we’ll see what it really means to BE together. from there, a new earth will arise.

+++/or: want Lobsterbird to be your personal healer in 2020? what can't we heal together? (hint: nothing.) there’s one 1:1 spot open and it includes a personalized pilgrimage. woot! email for deetz:
