Ancient Truths From The Past , Creating Our Future !




Ideal # 40
"I Achieve With Integrity" 

Our achievements, as we move up the ladder of success need to be accomplished by not undermining others. In our technological dog eat dog world the bigger business is now undermining the smaller operations so that achievements are hard to come by when trying to go into any business.  We all need to find ways to achieve in order to have shelter and food and the basics of life. If we would work together without feeling rivalry and jealousy a lot more could be accomplished. Some people steal ideas from others an copy those who are achieving success , which is certainly a lack of integrity.. Competition is a good thing but not if it is done by stealing ideas of others or using others in a way that is out of integrity. We must have goals and hopefully will be able to achieve them in an honorable way that will not hurt others. Each of us has a purpose in life and may we fulfill it with complete integrity.

Mana's Musings 
Integrity 
A place of contentment 

Living with the Goddess is not something that you show up once a week for . Being a priestess of Isis , is being recognized or seen as one who loves and lives every moment of their life with the idea that they are a part of something greater then themselves.  

The Priest or Priestess of Isis knows deeply that their source comes from within their own inner shrine. The place where the Great Mother eternally radiates her love, beauty and truth in all of us. 

When we align with this trinity of eternal light we have no other place from which to exist from.  When one knows where one is from , then one can begin to understand who one is. 

We as Isians declare ourselves clear and open channels of the Great Mother Isis and all Her Love , Beauty and Truth to pour forth from.

This radiance is what connects each and every living being. 

Some souls are sleeping deeply, unaware of their birthright as a divine sentient being. Others are waking up gently to the lullaby of Auset  either by listening to the priesthood recite Her divine praises or in dreams or approaching their images cast in paper paint and stone.
To realize and touch Her love, brings one to a place where they  never want to be anywhere else. To wake up and find yourself wrapped in divinity's kind embrace, does happen and there is nothing else like it. It is not a fairytale or a notion of some idealism. It is truth . Simple , Beautiful Truth. 

When one decides to live with this , it is constant.
 All things become it, because you realize all things are Isis and ...


 Isis is in all things 



This good fortune of returning home to Love is enough to perhaps keep us in check well,  most of the time.

I believe if one can fill their day realistically with activities that enhance ones spiritual life, such as reading and reciting prayers, writing , dancing , creating artwork , helping others including the animal kingdom and journaling ones gratitude daily in their journal,  they are doing a good job trying to keep their connection. 

I also believe that when one finds they are supported by the good grace of the Goddess, they want to hang on to it because everything else seems stale. This is what it is to declare yourself a vehicle for the Divine. 


You are a chalice of sweet love. 

To appreciate the love one is capable of giving, means you accept that there is an endless supply coming out of you all day long. This notion will eventually move into everything one does.  They call it Bhakti Yoga. 


It is not idealistic to want to dedicate your life to Isis / Divinity.
 It is your true reality. 



Integrity comes from a place of contentment.

To be content , to be happy and appreciate the love and the grace you carry inside is life well lived. 

When one trys to take something from another, or slander another, or look down upon another, they have broken away from this connection of Isis, they have forgotten themselves. 

When a Priest or Priestess sees this happening , the very best thing they to do is pray for the light of divine love to heal that darkness which has somehow developed in this person , not to mention yourself for placing judgement. 



All we simply need to remember is ...
We are complete with the Love Of Isis.  
All we need is the opportunity to exhibit loving kindness to Her entire creation.
It is simple and it is beautiful .


So why do we slip ? 
Why do we find ourselves casting judgment , growing angry or tired of another ?

Well one reason , to begin with,  
might be 
that we are not taking care of ourselves .



Patience comes from faith in Love . 
It is never a waste of time contemplating why you've lost your temper, or why something is bothering you so much. 
This is usually a trigger for you to stop, pause and listen to the inner voice of Isis . 

The Voice of Divine Reason . It is a yoga. 

We can get streched out on the wrack of egotism.
When I stop and ask myself questions like 
Where I am right at the moment ?
Where is my own consciousness taking me ?
Is this part of my plan to bring myself closer to spirit or am I unconsciously pushing myself further way.


Time to reboot. Time to rest and Time to remember LOVE .






At times we do need to speak up for an obvious injustice which may occur. However, we can also take comfort in knowing that there are proper channels in our organization that handles these situations. 

If you feel that something is not being done properly, it is best not to cast judgement. It is best to ask those who are in charge of these regulative guidelines and ask them to please take care of the situation. 

These propers individuals are not policemen or even peace keepers. Our senior chosen Pillars of Foundation are spiritual elders looking out for the wellbeing of Everyone.  


 Our fellowship is a garden which needs careful tending. 
Too many gardeners in the grove can make a mess of things.



Trusting that Isis moves in her own divine way and that our senior pillars of our Isian Family were chosen by Lady Olivia herself , is enough for me. Those individuals know the best course of action and were appointed by her to care for and nurture the future of our Isian Community for lifetimes to come. 

It is not like anyone is putting their head in the sand. Actually these pillars of senior advisors are pulling the other pour souls head out of the sand .  Saying " Hey, Remember the Magic Mirror of Isis ? Here take a look. She is telling you something... Listen. 

I personally believe that this is what we must focus ourselves upon. 
Our seeds for the future. 
Not who is doing what to whom, 
What was done to so and so.
Who is planning the next big revolution. 
Organizations have a big scale of purity to balance out. Lots of people lots of egos lots of time to sort it out. 

If you are reading the manifesto weekly or monthly , as Lady Olivia has asked us to do, and you see that the integrity of our organization is being threatened, write to the Office. 

Do not publicly announce that this is being done by whom and openly humiliate someone who is perhaps simply not in balance with the Manifesto.

There are many reasons why people act out and most of these reason are not due to intentional deceit. They are mostly due to an imbalance on that persons part to care for themselves properly.

Therefore, I request, that we pray deeply and rely upon our faith to see these issues in our organization are clearly being taken care of by Isis, through those appointed to hold safe  our Isian family.

I leave you with the quotes below taken from the Fellowship of Isis Central site. 


“The Queen’s regulations are handrails, not handcuffs.” 
- General Sir Lawrence Parsons, 
grandfather of Lawrence Durdin-Robertson and Olivia Robertson. 
He burnt mounds of red tape in his day!

Ethics within the Fellowship



"In ISIS we rely not on rules and regulations,


But on the Divine Power of Her Winnowing Wings of Protection.


In Her we trust.”


There is an duty of integrity and responsibility upon every individual member to uphold and adhere to the principles and ideals of the Fellowship, as set out in this Manifesto, including prevention of abuse and exploitation of humans, animals, and our environment.

Any member has the right, at any time, to seek assistance from outside authorities.


Oracle of Isis


“I am She Who Was and Is and Is to Be. No mortal man hath lifted my veil.”

Isis lifts her veil to those with loving hearts,
Who seek the truth.

The balance between Love and Truth, divine feminine and sacred masculine, Isis and Osiris, brings forth harmony.



Remember This As Well Dear Ones,

Excerpt from 
Isis Is For All 
by Lady Olivia Roberston

Introduction to the Book Isis is For All
Aims and Ideals of The Fellowship of Isis 
By Olivia Robertson // Printed by Isis House Publishing.

" All that we call real in this transient world is a hologram, deliberately created to teach us to become our true selves. Our souls are born of Deity , and we have within us an individual Divine Being. Each being whether star or atom is original, unique .  The reason we come to planetary schools is that we wish to share with others our own special gifts. There is no automation or cloning in Divine Reality.  This life is only a hologram as in a computer game.
All that we are comes fem Above , the Divine Realm of Perfection. This spiritual realm is in harmony with that which is Below, Which is an evolutionary cycle. The growth of crystals of plants of families show forth the desires of Cosmic Deity to show forth joyful perfection in each unique birth. Divine Union comes from the Love of Goddess and God Woman and man, throughout the cosmos. We from below can teach the God what it is to suffer and struggle and gain victory over failure. But we need help from above for inspiration , vision and creativity. "

Lady Olivia goes on to conclude this introduction with this last quote ...

" We honor the Real in all true faiths and paths. May a ray of inspiration reach you and each reader in a way attune to each one of you ! 
Blessings Of Isis Who is For all !

Olivia Robertson / August 2011 

Conclusion

I want to thank Isis House Publishing for this great book Isis is For All. 
The members of the editing team and the Isians who practice these teachings in their everyday life. 

One of my vedic teachers told me that if you are ever in doubt of what to do, pick up a sacred text and start reading. I am beyond grateful for all the liturgy we have been left with . Keys or guidelines of beloved inspiration which we can base our direction while we live this cherish and gifted life with Isis .

May you always find your way home under the Wings of the Great Mother

Ideal # 39 I AM Humble Humility and The H1N1 Virus


 # 39 I AM Humble 
From The Book The 42 Ideals Of Ma'at
 by Rt Rev, Loreon Vigne'

" Do not let your ego over power who you really are. Admit your mistakes and take responsibility for them, as no one is perfect .  Do not lord it over others who are perhaps less fortunate then you.  Know that all humans are made of the same stuff.  All of us are connected  no matter that some of us have more possessions and money than others less fortunate.  Never think you low it all, as there is always more to learn and more wisdom to gain.. Humility is the quality of being modest and respectful of others  We need to recognize and appreciate others abilities. Being prideful and arrogant is the reverse of humbleness. Even though you excel in your abilities do not look upon those that may not have your talent as they may have other abilities that you may not be able to accomplish .  Those that act in a superiors manner need to step down from their imaginary pedestal and become humble ! "

Written by Rt. Rev. Lady Loreon Vigne'  The Temple Of Isis California 


Mana's Musing 




"We as humans have only tipped the edge of the iceberg in our own identity of who we truly are.
When we find the miracle in this return to self, there would perhaps be no other relationship other then true humility and true humility perhaps would be nothing more or less then Love itself ."

 M Youngbear 

H1N1 and Humility 

Recently this week I was taken down with the H1N1 . I had had this illness two years ago and was not expecting a return. Surprise. I got a full free rite of passage into the bardo this week and I am not sure I am out of it as of yet.  Aside from the fear of my poor partner waking up to find my corpse on the bathroom floor, all I could do was pray to Isis to help me get through this and remain un afraid and allow her to help me.  

Dangerously high fevers, extreme pain , massive elimination in both ends of my body , dehydration and coughing with loss of breath. and now extreme pain in my major organs have me honestly believing in Humility again . Oh so this is the other side of the body.. Got it . 

When I was a young girl I lived and practiced spirituality with the Hare Krsna's. They taught me so much about the truth concerning what Spirit Soul truly is , among other things . One thing that we would repeat to each other is that the body is a grows lump of ignorance , containing blood puss and stool.  When your feeling sick it sure seems like that. 

 We all know that the body is more then that.  It is our vehicle.  It is our temple. It is our basket and chalice for Isis or divinity .. what ever you want to call the divine nature of things.. to rest itself upon and wait for us to ask to take the reigns, just like Krsna driving the chariot in the Bhagavad Gita. 



We as sentient beings may ask , please , divinity take the reigns and guide our path.
There really are rare times in our lives when we do have to let go and let Divinity take the reigns


  How does that saying go again?

Let go and let Goddess 

PS If anyone know the name of this artist above please let me know so I can edit the painting and give proper credit. Unfortunately Google does not always provide proper credit sadly many artists are not honored. I will edit this if you can give me the artist's name. Thank you 


  I was more the humbled by the power of my body and the ability connect to spirit. Even in fear.. the sound came through and filled me with a sense that its all being handled. Just try to go with it .. stay open and stay smart. Keep love close and fear will find no room .

I am indeed humbled by the pain and the fact that fear can be very powerful if we give it the energy to do so.  You all are free to think as you wish . I choose to ge grateful never to forget the force of Love itself. This Spirit is always stronger then any other force. In the end. Let love choose.   Call on all your helpers and they will manifest before you. Remember you are of pure Goodness and nothing else can stand between you and that.  It is very helpful . 
For me personally I believe that the miracle of life is so amazing.  When we wake up and realize where we are all from there is no better or worse there is only joy.  Jason Lotterhand talks about the power of Nature often in his talks from the Thursday Night Tarot and the Spoken Cabala edited by Arisa Victor one of my dear friend and teachers.  I love you Arisa .
You can find all his talks at  http://taroteveryday.com They have changed my life . Thank you Jason.

More from Me 

I find Humility has everything to do with Ego.  The word itself forces us to define our relationship to ourselves as less then something.  I would rather like to say that someone has such appreciation for life, they see the greatness in all things and respects all creation first before I would speak to ego. Perhaps with that understanding then Humility might fit in. 
Before a person can begin to be humble they might first need to learn their relationship to spirit . 
To believe one is better then another is illusion . 
To point fingers and jump up and down is illusion .
To give up hope is illusion .

One must work for happiness. It is there. Take it .

To roll up ones sleeves and offer service and to be open the the council of others ,yet heed to the higher voice of reason in ones own heart is wisdom. 
We have free will .
We can take the loving advice of others and make it part of our own to cultivate the love we hold within . 
Isis is within our being . 
She moves through us. 
We are the beings which are fortunate enough to experience her work in our own lives.
Dedicating our selves as clear and open channels to her work and her love daily is strong medicine to soften an unruly ego. Just this is enough . Just keep pouring your love .. She is drinking it and so is the rest of creation.

Ego is not all bad

It drives desire and desire is what takes us from one action to another 
Without desire we would move nowhere.
Another note is that Isis is with us always , but we must first ask for her to help us before she will.
She waits for us to offer her all we have. 
Our fears and triumphs. All are Hers. For she is our mother, lover , sister and dearest teacher and friend. 


Humility is in my heart a fine thing if we implement gratitude and remember where we have come from and where we all will return.
Be it on the celestial songs of Godhead
The divine crystalline light of the Heavens 
Or the loving faith in our divine inheritance as children of Our Mother of 10,000 Names.


"Dear One,You are radiant spirit. This is your essence, your connection to the God Source. This is the part of you that never dies, that lives in oneness with All that is, Was and Ever shall be. When you recognize your pure essence, and remember this truth about yourself, your daily life can take on a lighter quality. You will be able to look at each situation from a more expanded perspective. "




This is the 39th Ideal of the first edition of the 42 Ideals of Ma'at by Rt. Rev. Loreon Vigne'  I took a vow to offer a vow a week to the Facebook page of the Temple Of Isis each week and have stayed on course to the best of my ability.  I have found that since this time the booklet itself has been re written by several elders of our TOI community as well as Lady Loreon herself. I look forward to obtaining this copy after I finish with this edition.  Perhaps to review it and start all over again with new writings of the 42 Ideals and what they mean to Lady Loreon Vigne' as well as those members who were present to rewrite these ideas last summer 2013. 

May you find Humility like a robe of divinity always forgiving and forever embracing your heart gently and with love. 

May the Blessings Be ,

A Note on the New Edition of the 42 Ideals Of Ma'at . 2014

I was told by not just other members of the TOI but even my own higher self that rewriting the 42 Laws of Ma'at is not advisable.
I feel that studying these laws and synthesizing them into our daily lives is just what we are to do in the way of Ma'at.  These ideals are only ideals .. Ideas and concepts revelations and realizations brought forth by our Elder and founder of the Isis Oasis Sanctuary Rev. Lady Loreon Vigne' .
I have copied these down word for word for those to see her personal idea of life its relationship to these laws.

The largest thing I had hoped for in blogging these 42 Ideals was a spontaneous conversation amongst our members concerning their relationship to these quotations and ideals and how they live their lives with Ma'at.  Imhotep is a gift we give ourselves. It is my understanding , that it comes about when we can balance the two scales of our lives and live in the consciousness of spirit through the bodily form we can find Imhotep. This comes from humility and gratitude. It comes from spiritual practice and reverence. One must apply the laws of balance with meditation and service and joy in order to successfully find Imhotep .  These have been my teachings .

From the 42 Ideals of Ma'at #35 and # 36 Written By Lady Loreon Vigne' A visit from Lama Loda Rimpoche at The Temple of The Muse




From the 42 Ideals of Ma'at 
Rev. Lady Loreon Vigne'

# 35  I Give Blessings
I sign all letters with the word Blessings . I notice that many others are doing this too.  It is a nice difference from the word Sincerely that was usual in the past.. This is an example of how our consciousness is becoming more enlightened.  Giving a blessings is a way of offering something of a spiritual nature to another.  It is a way of helping those who you know receive something special through your blessings.  It is as though you are offering a gift to those to whom you give a blessing.  I also use the word blessings on my telephone message as I feel it is somehow important to do .. It is somehow a high magical word and actually offers something extra powerful to those who are given a blessings.  So bless your friends, your family and others with whom you come in contact and know that you are offering good will to all.



# 36 I Keep the Waters Pure

A wise old Egyptian shaman once told me that the symbol of the Ankh meant fresh water.  Water is a sacred element that we would not be alive without.. Today we consider that symbol to mean eternal life, and in reality both meanings are the same.. We must be aware of this scared fluid and utilize it with the utmost care and restraint.. Never use more water then you need and always consider ways t prevent waste.  Just one simple suggest to save water is this.. When you brush your teeth shut off the water while you are brushing when it is not needed and a lot of water will be saved. If we humans keep expanding as we are, we will run out of water in the future.. Let us consider this situation with the knowledge that we must not over populate the world with our species . Water is alive and like Dr, Emoto proved , can be sensitive to how we treat it.  Let us bow to keep the waters pure ! 



Mana’s Musings 



It is interesting that we have all been praying, chanting, asking and envisioning rain in all the most earnest ways possible. Today we had rain in our community off and on all day.  I immediately went outside and stood in the rain , washed my face in the rain and thanked the rain for coming to visit me and my community . I took in the rain as a part of my body. As I took a breath in , I envisioned myself as a container and the rain being collected in me. This rain is the most precious rain I have ever felt in my 53 years of life. It was like a baptism . My actions now are a reflection of that rain. 





Water sustains us. We are made mostly of water. For us to pray to keep the waters pure is very important . It is equally important for us to identify with keeping our own bodies of water within us treasured in just the same way. 
When our inner wells of water are not clear we grow ill. Just as our planet outside us has the same dilemma.  For us to appreciate water with in us as well as without us is a balance of the element that sustains all of creation. 


Drinking good water and often through out the day, eating healthy foods and taking peaceful walks of gratitude in nature are all essential to the vow .. I keep the waters Pure. 
We all are sacred vessels and the water within us is no different then that with out. 
If you find yourself in a conversation that is not serving you , walk away from it. If someone asks you something that you find you can not answer in a positive way. Don't answer at all.  We are magicians of goodness .  We can cleanse our selves and those around us by the words and actions of our deep wells. The waters of divine expression . 



Let us all share these waters that run deep in ourselves by the actions we demonstrate in our daily lives.  Let us all try to make offering blessing of joy and gratitude. Recognizing the beauty and truth in others and seeing that we are all reflections of one great beautiful stream of divine consciousness.  A gentle river of light and sound that creates beauty and peace through out creation.  

Giving blessings as Lady Loreon mentions in her Ideal # 35 is very good. I believe it is equally as important to see that we are those blessings themselves. To see the importance of sharing our truth and our joy with each other . Our gratitude for having association of like minded kind hearted people. To understand that it is love that is the origin of all blessings .



In the ancient texts of India called The Upanishads, there is a passages that describes soul’s decent to earth.  Great Soul’s are sent to earth to take birth in grain to be eaten by Man and manifested in their bodies so that this soul can then take a human form. Every time you see a rain drop know that a soul is potentially manifesting itself in that rain drop. 

The message for This Week comes from the Book of Doors Divination Deck by Athon Veggi and Alison Davidson. 



Shen Ur 
Family Pet ( The family of Heaven ) 
Circuit of Heaven, Cosmos Page 63 

There is a reference to this from page 65 in the Veggi and Davidsons Book of Doors .

The divination Meaning for this week from the Shen Ur reads 

The establishment of order . Harmony restored . Integration and wholeness .




New News From the Muse. 




This weekend the Lama Loda Rimpoche was visiting from the Bay Area.
His talks have been wonderful and the largest thing I gleaned from his visit so far is that soul is naturally in a joyful state. 
Work hard to spread joy and live in joy . 
Share your joy with others. Be happy and strive to do your best.
This blessing he gave to all of us today was very tender and I truly relish this simplicity .

Please to not forget that harmony is a birthright . We should not need to work for harmony . 
We might consider that we return to Harmony for it is our natural state. bliss , beauty, Joy and wisdom breed truth , all birthed from Eternal Love.

Perhaps we may even consider that all our actions, all our offerings , our prescribed spiritual duties are not the actually spiritual essence of our nature. They are to remind re - mind. Our Selves of who we truly are.. That is to know Thyself as Love itself.  We are creations of Divine Love . We are a result of the Primal Will To Good. We are Goodness.  

Accepting the baptism I experienced this morning in the First Rain of 2014, I do feel harmony
I do acknowledge the blessings of keeping the waters of the world Pure. Gratitude for this joy and beauty. This is my life I am grateful for. Gratitude and Beauty.  

May all those who are suffering find peace 
May all who are wrongfully imprisoned be released
May all who are sick be healed
May all who are in fear find courage 
May all who are lost find Love. 


May you find all good things in your life.
Divine Blessings ,
Mana
