The Seventh Congregation of Ladder Day Vixens

When things don’t go their way…When sadness, disappointment and even desperation prompt some people to gaze heavenward and think, “Why God, why me?” Or “How could you let this happen?” the Ladderday Vixens know that Her Radiance is unlikely to answer.

Does his mean She is cold hearted, callous or bereft of compassion? Of course not. For She is Love. Pure and Divine Love. And she loves her self-aware animated creations so much that she did a very rare thing, and added an addendum after  creation, just for us! “Love one another!”Now Her Radiance did not feel the need to mention what is essentially a cosmic “oh, by the way…!” for any of Her other creations. The stars continue on since their creation, lighting the heavens, and She didn’t feel compelled to suggest anything else to them. The tiny particles, the quarks, protons, bosons or what have you, continue holding the universe together since their creation, and She did not see any reason to suggest minor changes to their behaviors. The molecules which formed from smaller mites of matter, and began to self replicate, Her Radiance was happy to let them be as they were created. All of the amazingly complex rules that govern the behaviors of the different parts of the Radiant Vixens most wonderful universe all carry on without the merest further mention for Her. Only us humans did She grace with Her little side note. “Love One Another!”And that was necessary because our particular little clumps of molecular proteins developed self awareness. And the Radiant Vixen is delighted with it. This is because all of the rest of her Creation is bound by immutable laws, which allow it to exist. But the self aware clumps of molecules (that’s us!) began to choose their own destinies. And to honor them, she decided to allow this. No other component of Her Radiances’ Grand Creation is granted that gift. The stars cannot just decide not to not follow  the laws of gravity, or, only follow the laws on Mondays and Thursdays. The protons and neutrons cannot just decide not to follow their various laws. It is a truly great gift. The greatest She could bestow upon us. However, with that gift come certain caveats. We are allowed our own choices, but that means we can make wrong choices. Or, rather, choices which will not bring us contentment. Unlike other human deities, Her Radiance does not dictate every facet of your life. She does not tell you what clothes to wear. She cares not. The convention of not wearing the color red on Fridays didn’t come from Her Radiance. That was a product of a disagreement among some of her human admirers. Her Radiance doesn’t  care what you choose to eat, or who you choose to have physical relations with. She doesn’t care if you steal, lie or cheat. She only knows that the way the laws of Her Creation are set up, that some of these actions will eventually bring you suffering and She doesn’t wish that on you. Therefore, the little side note. “You are free to direct your own destiny!..Oh by the way…!”

This is the paradox of Free Will. Use it wisely! Or suffer the consequences.

What if when you die, the contents of your soul explode in a cloud of spores, like one of those puffball mushrooms. Each spore composed of a little bit of what made you, you. Your love, your fears, your creativity, your passion, your hate, your paranoia, your greed, your strengths and weaknesses. These tiny spores land on a budding consciousness and help define it. Your souls fragments live on, in tiny parts, along with countless others.  

Purpose. What is your purpose? Do you have one? Is it assigned you by a god somewhere, who made you for a specific purpose? In the darkest night, or on the roughest road or in the deepest, stillest forest, do you ever stop and wonder about this? For many, a sense of purpose is very important for emotional balance. It can make you feel part of something larger than one’s self. What is the Radiant Vixens purpose for Her disciples? As surprising as it may seem, She has seen fit to let use choose our own purpose, with only the reminder that we act out of love in all things we do. Or even, to not choose any purpose at all! What purpose would you like to serve? Do you see a purpose that could benefit from your attention? Purposes can be grand, or they can be tiny. You can have a purpose that serves only you, or one that serves the whole world! It’s up to you. The funny thing about purposes though, is that even if you feel it only benefits you, it can still have far reaching effects. Suppose there is an overgrown thicket of dead trees and thorny brambles outside your window. You might feel that having a purpose to fix the area up a little and cut away the dead wood, trim the thorns, and sweep away moldy leaves might only serve yourself. After all, only you can see it. What a selfish endeavor! But later on, song birds move in because of the more appealing conditions. New green shoots sprout up where once splintered dead branches swayed lifeless. wild flower bloom where once was festering mulch. The view from your window is now quite lovely. The bird song pleases all who hear it. The trees become healthy and verdant again. Other animals who were shy of the brambles, traverse the area in comfort. The fact is, if done within our Radiant Vixens guidelines, any purpose, no matter how small or  seemingly inconsequential, will have a net positive effect on the world.

today, let us find our Purpose, weather large or small, and act with Love towards all things!

the universe swirling around her.

She is at peace. Her biggest strength is her Inner Serenity and Love. These keep Her centered, wherever She may go in this wide and glorious universe which She has created. This is why She is the Center no matter where She will roam.
Taking an example from our Radiant Vixen, we see that the same is true for beings on the lesser plains of existence as well. Ones Inner Serenity must be one’s strongest attribute in order to weather the turbulence of these plains, where atoms and molecules clump together to gallop, swim or laugh. If one is not at peace inside one’s heart, how can one find peace amidst this soup of matter and energy surging around us like waves surging around rocks? In order to navigate those waves, one needs a life preserver and that life preserver is one’s Inner Serenity. This is not something one can find on a store shelf, sadly. One must discover ones own Inner Serenity, and then once discovered, zealously guard it! For there are forces that would wrest it from your grasp. Those cast away without life preservers on a tumultuous sea, will try to grab yours! Those careening in uncontrolled orbits will try to cling to the nearest stable thing. Help them if you must, but never give up your Inner Serenity to do do. That is not Love! That is self destruction. Un-love.

So sayeth the Seventh Congregation of Ladder Day Vixens

Today let us safeguard our Inner Peace from drama, negative intentions, unwinnable situations and dark energy.

The only way is Love.

This is not a new idea but it is the only valid idea. Unless your religion or deity promotes this idea then it is a lie. Sorry but thats the way it is. Love is the only system that will work. All others have failed and will fail. It’s a Law of the universe. Like gravity. Any human social order that tries to flaunt this Law will fail. Hate and fear and greed are the only sins and reflect an Absence of Love. All humans problems can be traced to the Absence of Love. And this is not the sixties flower child, free love, sex drugs and rock and roll love, but the universal Love all human beings find themselves needing like a plant needs the sun. The Love of mother father, child, sister brother, son, daughter, and fellow human beings. And then of the very planet Earth itself.  

All human religions at some point have attempted to solve the social issues inherent in humanity. These religions cause as many problems as they solve because they do not make their central foundations on Love, but on fear, hatred and greed. The exact opposite of Love. Therefore they will fail. Soon, even the adherents of such religions fracture into warring groups heaping unLove upon each other. If your religion tells you to kill someone it’s unLove and therefore false. Sorry. If it tells you to exclude someone it is false. Sorry. If it tells you it’s OK to lie cheat or steal from someone else, it’s a lie. The whole thing. Every bit. Sorry. Because, the only way the Human paradigm functions is when fueled and regulated with Love. This is not in any way news, of course. It has been stated numerous times in the past. However the human sins of fear greed and hate are powerful deceivers that lead humans astray. They grow in strength the more successful they become. The more successful they become the stronger they are. It is a positive feedback loop.  This is the situation in which some groups of humans living on Earth today find themselves. The more fear, greed and hatred exists, the more there will be until THE HUMAN SYSTEM COLLAPSES. It has done so in the past however currently humans possess technology that practically guarantees that another collapse will be the last. Again, nothing really new here. And, the solution is still Love. Not technology. That can be misused. Not money. That can be misused. Not law for law can be misused. Only Love. One prominent human religion stated that a person should love their neighbors as they love themselves. Unfortunately that all-important message was added seemingly as an afterthought to a book full of hatred, fear, war, exclusion and punishment. The few words of truth sadly buried. The very words that are the only instructions needed for healthy human development and living. Some God somewhere wisely knew that the “Keep It Simple Stupid” principle was the best, so condensed into three easy to remember words the directive was thus: Love One Another. Weather this God was a fat human male with purple skin, a bearded old man in white robes who lives in the sky, or even a Vixen with beautiful red fur, it matters not. They wisely concluded that those three words were just enough, if followed faithfully. 

In ever religion humanity has produced, there is always the Great Deceiver. The image may differ but the intent is always the same. To lead human beings to unhappiness and destruction. To lead them astray, as it were. Astray from where? From a system that promotes wellbeing contentment  and stability. Hatred, fear and greed do this quite well.  And have done so in the past, quite well. Together they have brought destruction to even the greatest societies of human beings. They are persistent, enticing and insidious. Every bit comparable to some well known images of this negative force contained in many contemporary religious writings. Further, these three sins easily cloud and confuse the message of Love because they feed on human weakness. But it’s easy to see through them IF YOU CHOOSE TO. The question to ask yourself is, “Is this a Loving action?” If the answer is no, then you are being lead astray. “Am I acting with as much compassion as possible?” If the answer is no, you are being lead astray.

Killing someone is not Loving them. 

Stealing from someone is not Loving them. 

Making false statements about someone is not Loving them. 

The great deceivers of fear hatred and greed will often make strong arguments to why in some cases Love can be overlooked. That is incorrect. Be ready to scrutinize such arguments with the care of a well paid lawyer.  There are many today who would doubt this simple message. However it’s quite easy to see that it is the Truth. A world full of fear, greed and hated ceases to exist in all of the dramatic and unpleasant ways that would delight that certain stereotypical underworld dwelling character. This can easily be seen today in areas of the world where the presence of Love is currently at a nadir.  Conversely, A world full of Love does not cease to exist, but instead gives all humans the opportunity to thrive and grow to their full potential.

Today, let us celebrate Love in all the little ways we can!

While Her Serene Grace, the Radiant Vixen occupies Herself in many mysterious ways, we, in the more mundane plains of existence, go about our lives like ants carrying grains of sand. Now if one were to fall through the myriad of Plains (there are so many!) like one was falling through sheets of gossamer, and eventually landed among those ants, one would find out quite quickly how important those grains of sand were to the ants! On the ant plain, everything is in a big rush. Those grains have to get out of the ant hill on the double!! That bread crumb has to be brought in, and no slacking!! That twig must be moved!! It’s blocking the entrance!

human lives are much like ant ones. Busy busy busy. There is always someone who’s not carrying their share, who makes things difficult or is not competent. It can be frustrating when you aren’t getting the help you need, weather you are an ant moving a leaf, or a human trying to activate a new cellphone. There can be the temptation to be cross with the person on the other end of the phone call. That slacker! Why are they being so difficult? Are they doing it on purpose?? Are they always this slow? Maybe yelling at them would help? One might imagine the sting of cross words encouraging a speedier resolution to the issue at hand. But, what if that laggard was in fact, presently dealing with a daunting personal problem? What if they were worried about their upcoming chemotherapy, or facing the dentists drill? What if they had lost a pet, parent, sibling or close friend recently? What if they didn’t have enough money to pay the rent that month? Would cross words from a random person help them to work faster? Or more cheerfully? The answer is probably no. Really, we don’t know anything at all about what’s going on in another persons life. Their backs may be hurting from moving all those sand gains around. They may not be getting enough little bread crumbs to make ends meet. They may be facing challenges that would be daunting to the strongest of ants. It’s something to think about when you don’t get the happy smile you thought you were due from the person behind the service counter.

Today we appreciate the people who help us accomplish our goals, and try to leave them feeling better than before they encountered us.

With her sharp eyes, surveying all facets of the universe. She is inquisitive and serene, yet concerned for the well being of all who inhabit her Sphere. She notices everything, but judges not. For she is Love. And Love is not judgemental. Her Radiance knows something that she hopes all beings are aware of. Energy and Spirit must equalize. It is a law from which no one is able to escape. When energy or spirit is given, like energy or spirit fills the void, thereby ensuring a constant state. To give off a dark energy or spirit will see the void filled with like energy. To give off light energy or spirit will see the void filled by light. The Radiant Vixen wishes everyone to have the energy or spirit they desire! She could perhaps grant this with a swish of her luminous tail or a twinkle of her kind and gentle eye, but she would prefer to let those who deal in Energy or Spirit find out about these mysterious blessings for themselves. Some may prefer light. Some may prefer dark. It is OK with her Radiance either way. For she is pure Love, without condition or judgement.

So sayeth the Seventh Congregation of Ladder Day Vixens.

Today we cherish the Energy and Spirit we are blessed with. But, which type do you prefer best?

All thing come from the Center…

And all things must return to the Center. That center is the Heart. You, as we of the Seventh congregation of Ladder Day Vixens do, may choose think of the Heart as a Radiant Vixen with a bright luminous tail which encompasses the whole universe, but some may prefer the simpler image of a robed man, or even a creature composed of noodles and meatballs. It matters not and does not change anything except the image in your mind. 

The Heart is the source of energy, time, spirit and matter. And, any of these may be provided to one, at the graciousness of the Radiant Vixen. However it can’t be forgotten that these are only “on loan”. Sooner or later they all must be returned to their rightful owner, the owner of All Things, At the center of the universe, and of all time and all place, all spirit, and all matter. The Vixen. Her heart is Love. Her heart is Energy. It is Spirit. It is also the stuff that composes all that humans can see and interact with, from atoms to stars. Of all of the elements of the Heart, this is the weakest and most fragile. It crumbles at the slightest brush with any of any other elements. Though humans may build towering edifices seemingly solid and defiant from it, it is only an illusion to enjoy for a short while. For when you have borrowed something, eventually it must be returned, however saddening this may be. At some point even you will rejoin the Heart once again. The Heart of the Radiant Vixen where all things are returned to their one true form; Her Love.

So sayeth The Seventh Congregation of Ladder Day Vixens

Today, we wish Bravo and all who recently returned to the Heart much warmth and love! What will they borrow from the Heart next?
