I saw the wind within her - I knew it blew for me — But she must buy my shelter - I asked Humility ~Emily Dickinson.
The silver side of the maple leaves shouted their secrets into the winds – an invisible omnipotent tempest of Spirit, animating the creaking branches, in a Pentecostal cacophony.
Today is the Full Flower Moon of May, a cat’s cradle culmination, with nary a cloud in the bright still sky.
But for 3 days after WhitSunday, Ruach resounded as Word of command, here in the Windy City, inspiring vivacity. Stirring the Shekhinah. Endowing the ethers with exuberance. Bestowing gifts. Impelling prophets.
Acts 2:1-5 The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
In the Torah we hear from the prophet Isaiah that the Spirit arrives “… like a rushing tide driven by the breath of god”.
Broadcasting seeds. Enthralling the flowers to dance. Engaging lungs. Catching breath.
With our first breath, Spirit dies to life. With our last breath life dies to Spirit-birth.
Ruach Elohim, awaken us to you, who form the air of mind.
Ruach HaKodesh, seat of mind, organ of Soul, quicken us.
Pneuma breathe us - rouse & preserve us.
Look, see, the Breath of Life – waving in the May Breeze. Opening the way for the Comforter, who goes before us.
And we can remember that even the villains who misuse the Ruach can be shifted:
Saul’s Conversion Acts 9 - Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples.
Then after seeing a vision of Christ on the road to Damascus, Saul is struck blind. The Prophet Ananias, who is given a vision by God, lays hands on him, & the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, heals Saul, so that the scales fall from his eyes, his sight is restored & he becomes the disciple, Paul.
And when we practice ‘Spirit Recalling’ we receive the primal vision of the Holy Spirit:
Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And at the “Turning Point of Time” this Spirit was the midwife delivering the Cosmic Christ into incarnation:
Luke 3:22 And the Spirit of God descended upon him in the form of a dove. And a voice sounded out of the heavenly heights: “You are My beloved Son, in you will I reveal myself.
When we gathered in Texas for the Eclipse Convergence, the MA did various workings, converting Master Chekhov Teacher Lisa Dalton’s garage into what Brother Michael christened our “Gar-Lodge”.
In the garden outside, doves built a nest & were roosting. Every morning, I would go out at dawn to meditate & sing to them.
Lisa let us know that at Ascension the eggs hatched, & on Pentecost after our Pilgrimage offering, she saw them venturing out from the nest. A perfect capper to our 2024 Easter-Tide journey. A sublime sign & affirmation that the Sophia, the Divine Spirit of Wisdom, confirms her blessing.
Yes, we can experience how The Holy Spirit serves as a healing unifying force, weaving a spiritual tapestry that connects individuals in the creation of a conscious community where the Peace Dove can roost.
Yes, the answer, my friend is blowing in the wind
Keep breathing
