divine union of the sacred masculine and feminine: making love to god

November 23, 2010 by rachel

I’m going to offer up once again my unpublished manuscript, “Making Love to God,” for those who may now be especially drawn to this material. The eight-part work has its own Category in the Archives link in the right-hand sidebar, if you wish to jump ahead. You […]

October 15, 2010 by rachel

  According to sound healer/teacher Deborah Van Dkye, who is heard here on her CD, Traveling the Sacred Sound Current, this ancient chant of exaltation “embodies the highest of frequencies which extend the grace and holy protection to the chanter…(and) sets up a resonance with Divine Love energies in whose presence lesser forces cannot remain.” summerrain7373 added the image and posted the video on youtube.

July 31, 2010 by rachel

This video by 4SeasonsProductions.com juxtaposes the poetry of Rumi (spoken by Coleman Barks) with Debussy’s Clair de Lune. against the backdrop of vintage film of early Market Street in San Francisco… …and leaves me with a calm yet still sense of longing.

And, I have written of my personal experience with ecstatic Divine Union in my unpublished manuscript, Making Love to God, which begins here.  Subsequent sections can be found in the “Browse […]
