Caitlin's Thoughts
On this page Caitlin will occasionally share some of what she is learning as a
Priestess of the Goddess.  

Topics on this page include:
Passion, Authority, The Future, Grief,  Conflict, and Bonding
with Others.

*********************
PASSION
Rituals are empty, meaningless, without the fire of passion.  
Passion is the movement of life, the means by which you come
into My presence.  Only that which is embraced with passion
has the power to move you into My presence.

When a man is young it is necessary to give expression to the
passion that heats the blood and sears the heart.  But beyond
the searing passion, at the very feet of the Goddess, lies a pool
whose depths can not be plumbed. When one lets go of the
physical passion and enters the pool that feed it, one discovers
the immense reservoir of love that encompasses all.
*********************
AUTHORITY
Temporal authority is only as strong as the commitment of
those it commands.
*********************
THE FUTURE
Do not allow visions of the future to prevent you from doing the
work of the present.  Is there any point in journeying through a
life if you know in advance the endpoint?  How your path
unfolds doesn't matter.  Following the will of the Goddess,
moment by moment, is all that matters.  If you know what is to
happen in the future, even an instant from now, you will be
filled with expectation, preventing you from allowing the spirit
to work through you each moment.
*********************
GRIEF:
"All who know grief may know Me.  Grief is a path into My
presence.  Through grief, those who have left the path may
now begin the journey back.  Grief is a warning to change
direction.  You can not help others move through grief unless
you are yourself grounded in its reality, nor can anyone let go of
grief until they have moved through it, and they must do this in
their own way at their own pace."
*********************
CONFLICT:
"The Goddess puts barriers in our paths to test our devotion
and persistence.  She desires to bring people together, to
bridge conflict, to dissolve differences. Some of us find conflict,
with its apparent oppositions, the most effective way to learn.  
Conflict is also a vivid and dramatic way to arouse passion.  
Those who are consumed with the anger and resentment that
conflict generates can rarely remain detached and complacent."
*********************
BONDING WITH OTHERS

New energy is coming in to the Earth plane.  Boundaries
between the worlds are becoming less defined.  It has always
been possible to move between the realms; it is getting easier.  
It is also a time for bonding and networking and coming
together with others of like purpose.  The isolation so prevalent
in today's world will have to change.  This is not a time for
isolation.  No one can survive alone.
