The Buddha taught :

My teaching is not a philosophy. It is the result of direct experience...


My teaching is a means of practice, not something to hold onto or worship.


My teaching is like a raft used to cross the river.

Only a fool would carry the raft around after he had already reached the other shore of liberation

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

Truth is by nature self-evident, as soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.

Our friends are those who know their own faults well enough to forgive us ours.

The Age of Aquarius

Feb 5

Written by: Jodi Williams
2/5/2009 6:47 AM

I remember listening to the radio and wondering what the lyrics meant.  Well now I know and I want to share this.  The Age of Aquarius begins on Valentine's Day:

At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation.

Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius, brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:

When the Moon is in the seventh house

and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Then peace will guide the planets

and love will steer the stars

At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment.

Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.

The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real -ationships.

Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.

And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.

At 7.25am on 14th February - and for the 18 minutes of the alignment, I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own intention for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for you, you may choose to align with7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local time energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.   

Please feel free to circulate this information,  the Aquarian chart and its cosmic invitation to birth the Age of Aquarius.

Hello!   Thanks for stopping by! 

Welcome to icMe.Be!  I'm Jodi!

I like to live my life as far out of the box as I can manage.  Have you ever tried to fit into one of those boxes?  Way too confining for me! Besides, life outside the box is far more interesting. The things I value (like peace of mind, social equity and environmental health) don't seem to be part of the status-quo. To me what matters is making your own way through life without compromising yourself too much.

I strive to look outside the box, past the writing on the walls toward the authentic Self.  I seek self-awareness and enlightenment in the hope of finding that which lies beyond expectation...

This site is part of my search, thanks for letting me share it with you!

Feel free to email me: rev.jodi.williams@gmail.com should you have any comments.

A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.

Albert Einstein

 What Is Mindfulness? Minimize

So what is Mindfulness anyway?

Mindfulness is the study of consciousness (or reality if you prefer) and there are as many ways to practice as there are practitioners. What i mean by this is that there are many methods used in consciousness studies: relaxation, controlled breathing, yoga, meditation, reiki, chanting, and vibrational healing are just a few of them.

This discipline that challenges each person to find the deepest understanding the Self possible. The lifestyle acknowledges the uniqueness of the individual while recognizing the role the individual plays in the indivisible Oneness of the Universe. It is a quest to experience that which lies beyond expectation. That's why I've chosen the slogan beyond expectation...

A mindful existence allows the practitioner to become aware of what lies beyond physical survival. We learn to find meaning within ourselves and we no longer have the need to be validated by the external (friends, family, belongings etc.). We free ourselves from being that which we think is expected and are able to define success in a way which is unique unto us. This personal freedom comes from the profound perspective shift that occurs when we allow ourselves to experience the Oneness.

Through the practice of mindfulness methods, we are able to silence the mind and in this state of Unity, we learn what it means to transcend the ego. In this transitory state we find our true Self and we are then free to BE beyond expectation...
