Tea with the Muse

I can’t follow directions. I only have a high school education. I am challenged to know my left from my right, but I can build a website.

I have just returned from my father’s memorial and I haven’t found words to talk about it yet, but this is what came out.

This episode is an exploration into my limitations and my gifts.

What is consciousness? Does it have anything to do with time? Space and place? what do you think it is? Do you know how to operate it? Do you know how to get a little bit more of it when you want to?

Today’s riff invites us into conscious chosen awareness.

* Become just a little bit more conscious than you were a few minutes ago

* Explore juicy inquiries regarding time and it’s relationship to consciousness

* Be in the lived practice of becoming conscious of becoming conscious

* Explore how awareness of life force may be one of the missing gems in the jewel of consciousness

I just finished teaching a seven day long retreat with my dear friends, Amber and Mary called Legend. This is one of the layers of my painting.

Mother’s Day blessings to each one of you. Whenever I speak of consciousness, I always think of my mothers.

Listen in for an invitation to become who you are. You don’t have to invent a new self and a new story. It’s already all within you. If you’ve been looking for your tribe, listen to this.

Good morning, beautiful beings, today’s spontaneous spoken word is here for those of us who want a new beginning yet need to honor the past. There’s an invitation here to slow down instead of rushing forward, to pay attention to the chemistry of transition and the sacred tension between where you were and where you’re headed. So many teachers talk about the significance of being in presence and in the now - because there is something here not to be missed.

You get to curate the future. If you do not choose to do that, it will just become without your consent. Be a designer. Chart your course. Change your story.

You won’t want to miss today’s episode on a fundamental shift in consciousness regarding scarcity and abundance and our relationship to creation. There really is enough to go around, we just aren’t living that potential out, because scarcity is enforced.

* You are enough and there is enough, here’s why

* Making a big change in our view of what abundance is without bypassing

* How I overcame scarcity yesterday on a drive up the mountain

* Activating chemistry which supports seeing things in your life in new ways.

TRANSCRIPT

Hello beloved ones. Welcome to this episode of Tea with the Muse. This is Shiloh Sophia with an invitation and a poem. The poem I'm going to be reading is from 2019. And it is a poem that came out of a painting process. And the painting process is called Insight.

Join us for this complimentary four-hour class with the Muse to open your heart and your mind to hidden insight. Experience a deeper level of intuition and guidance. And ignite your imagination through right and left brain. You can go to musea.org backslash insight and sign up. complimentary four-hour class just for you.

And here's the poem that came from it. It's called

Meet Me Off the Map

The keys you have been looking for

are in the hands of your hidden self.

The riddle is you have to know

where to find that self and how to request the keys.

If it was that easy,

you would have already found your way in.

The locked doors and boarded up windows

and cages without hinges that can hold you tight

may litter the landscape of your everyday experience,

may clutter up the clarity of your truest voice and vision.

That's why seeking the keys of the hidden self

is essential soul work.

That is why you keep looking.

You just know there's something more, to you.

After all, you are mostly stardust, you know.

Surely that means you are meant to shine.

The adventure to discovering your hidden self

can be quite dangerous to your default settings,

and your comfort levels,

because the critic may stand and say:

Hey you, there's no way in,

and there are no keys to find,

and you, my dear, are wasting your time and your mind.

The voice of your muse may seem oddly silent

in the cacophony of mixed messages.

You may find yourself saying,

Now where did that dream run off to,

and how did I end up here again?

Is this what I came here for? What's missing?

Ah, that is a good question.

Most of us trudge on, seeking but not finding,

asking but not really knowing the way,

lost in a seemingly endless to-do list.

Making the time to have tea with the great mystery

is likely the last thing on your calendar,

unless you, like me and us,

have tea with the muse.

Will you dare to join us?

Oh, good. All right. Go right at the old oak tree.

Just pass the sparkly fairy cottages.

And don't stop there, though,

even if they promise you yummy cake.

Make a left at the corner where it says:

there be dragons.

That's right, just off the map.

At first, you might feel like you're following.

And then you might feel like you're falling.

Following and failing and falling

are all part of the journey off the map.

I will meet you there, just off the map,

and catch you up here in this space between worlds.

Many adventures to be found.

Hear the story of Café from when I was 24 years old, as well as some suggestions for how to dress for café!

"I was born with an open wound, and colors pouring from it. Don't call me brave or a martyr; I'm just a woman who learned to love even in the midst of pain. I am a brush, I am a scream, I am broken flesh and a burning spirit. I paint myself because I am the only thing I know with fury, with tenderness. And if anyone doesn't like it, don't look at me, because I didn't come to fit in, I came to be."

Frida Kahlo

Today I want to share my story with you about my struggle to become a painter. I was so blessed to have two moms who were painters. But I wasn’t able to do what they did. It was hard. Eventually, something miraculous happened. We call it Legend. These are the origins of how the 13 steps that we teach came to be!

I have had the honor of visiting Frida’s house on two different occasions. Each experience was transcendental.

Shiloh Sophia

Dear Community,Today I am sharing my very personal story of change you with you. It is about changes in the structure of our business, and our future, and and…. by sharing it with you I am making a declaration of change. I know so many of us are in deep change. I honor where you are even though I don’t know where that is. Now you know where I am. I am Living My Legend and this is how I create it, through image, language and connection with all of you.

Love

Shiloh Sophia
