CHARISMATIC SPIRITUAL ATTRACTIONS

(C) 2010 Howard McQueen

Charisma, attraction, desire ...

Being drawn toward someone
and their words, beliefs, and
lets be frank: personality and showmanship.

Breathe deeply.
Take a sip from your own well.

We all benefit from the vision and pointers from others.
Lets remember that we always have to:

- breathe for ourselves
- feel for ourselves
- discern and do our own work of transformation

Allowing someone else to carry or transport us
with their charismatic "magic carpet ride"
always leaves us stranded and dry
in the desert of desolation,
outside of the radius of our own heartfelt experience.

Bring in all external experience
and re-forge these appealing energetic signatures.
Some may end up being forgeries,
impurities that burn away in the inner smelting process.
Those that reveal precious ore,
are the raw materials for a new
Oasis that your imagination will resolve.

What an additional treat it is
to meet another someone
in this newly envisioned,
now shared Oasis space!


In this Oasis space, we can both sip the fine tea and smell the exotic fragrances
and admire the fine weaving and fabric of these one-of-a-kind, loomed by our hands - carpets, feeling into these with our trembling, set free, naked feet.

We rest in the swell of infinite possibilities. We acknowledge we are not in any hurry here to stoke the embers of desire, as so many of the old desires we have chased after are born of passion and so very fleeting. Perhaps we should begin by anointing our naked feet with a fine oil, over by the warming fire. Then perhaps we can recite the poetry of Rumi, then pick up our own pens and write our ongoing story of two incarnating spirits invoking the beauty radiating from a deeper, beyond the personal Love, that is awakening, and consciously being born through honor and integrity.

I welcome you to this space, I first dreamed in 2009. The name that finally resolved into a label is HEART CENTERED OASIS. Lets find a time to share and enjoy our company, in this sacred space, or a space of your own choosing, in 2010!
