YONI SPEAK

I felt inspired today to share more about what it means to live as your Christ Self. What does this actually mean? For centuries, the word Christ has been associated primarily with the man Jesus. Then, during the first wave of the New Age movement, it began to be understood in a broader context as one's Higher Self rather than referring exclusively to Jesus. Very early in my own spiritual journey, I learned that Christ refers to a state of consciousness, not to a specific person.  The non-denominational mystical metaphysical organization I studied with was called The Teachings of the Inner Christ , and it was there that I began to understand the deeper meaning of this sacred concept. The Inner Christ, often called the Higher Self, is the highest expression of who you truly are. Not only does this Christ Consciousness live within you, but it is also part of your greater I AM Presence,  the luminous spiritual aspect of your being that surrounds and interpenetrates your physica...

  For eons, the world has been defined by patriarchal values. This was no accident, but rather something that was carefully planned and then orchestrated. You may not believe everything I say here, but it is fact nonetheless. The division between men and women, and the way in which women's roles were diminished thousands of years ago, occurred as men took power and became the rulers of the world. You see, the power of the feminine is the power of life itself. The feminine gives life, creates life, and she can also destroy life, as represented by Kali, the Indian goddess of destruction. Because the Goddess and all that she represented as the giver of life was so powerful, so beloved, and so deeply revered by the people of the time in much of the world, the religious patriarchs of the day knew that her influence and power had to be stopped at any cost if they were to control the general populace. The first step was to dismantle her temples by placing priests within them who would gra...

  The journey of awakening is different for every person. It depends on each soul’s unique path, life lessons, choices, and experiences. Most people come into this world without remembering who they truly are on a spiritual level. We are born into what is often called the ego, or separate identity, a kind of false self created through human experience. Our True Self, what many now call the Higher Self or the I AM Presence, often remains hidden or disconnected for much of our lives. Because of this, as children, we really do not know who we are beyond what we are taught. We only know what society, culture, and the world around us tell us about ourselves. From a very young age, we begin forming our identity through our parents, family, schools, religion, relationships, and even media and pop culture. All of these influences shape the egoic self and create the story we come to believe is “who we are.” The ego is made up of many layers of conditioning and programming gathered throughou...

  Did you know that you are already a being of Christ consciousness and part of the Quantum field or the Unified Field of Divine Intelligence? Most people on this planet do not have direct contact with their higher self or what I have come to know as our Stream of Consciousness, which actually is composed of many different aspects of Divine consciousness.  This stream of consciousness is a composite of  one or more aspects or avatar selves that your soul is actually made of.  This stream of consciousness is also called your expression of your I Am Self.  Most people on a spiritual path know of the I AM on a Cosmic and Universal level. But few know that each person has an I Am Self that expresses through their personal stream of consciousness. This personal expression of your I AM Self is something you can consciously connect with. And when you do, you begin to experience a direct relationship with Source, a living connection to your Higher Self that most peopl...

  There are moments in history when what has been hidden begins to surface.  We are living in one of those moments. As more information is disclosed about corruption, abuse of power, and systems of exploitation, including ongoing revelations connected to figures such as Jeffrey Epstein , many people are feeling shock, anger, grief, and even betrayal. You may even feel some of these things, as I know when I first allowed myself to take in some of these truths many years ago.  This is understandable. When we witness evidence of harm carried out by powerful individuals or institutions, it can feel destabilizing. It can shake our sense of trust in the structures that were meant to protect society and in our very foundation of what we thought was real, and in our beliefs and perceptions of the world. But I want to offer a wider lens.   Shadow Rising to the Surface In personal growth work, we understand something fundamental: What remains hidden in the shadow cannot ...

In the midst of everything we are witnessing in our world right now, I recently felt called to re-read a book that profoundly changed my understanding of how we got here. That book is The Chalice and the Blade by Riane Eisler . I first read it in the late 80s when it was newly released. I was one of those women just beginning to consciously rediscover the Goddess. That book opened a doorway in me that has never closed. Eisler built on the groundbreaking archaeological work of Marija Gimbutas , one of the first female archaeologists to present compelling evidence that Goddess-centered cultures once flourished across large parts of Old Europe—long before they were overtaken by what Eisler calls the Kurgan invaders. Re-reading it now, in today’s climate, feels less like nostalgia and more like remembering something essential. Partnership Societies: A Different Beginning Eisler describes what she calls partnership societies —cultures where women and men lived in relative harmony, ...
