Tea with the Muse

We are cosmic pilgrimsYou are an ancient identityI see you, do you see me,seeing you? You are inhabiting a luminous garment of stardust framed upon crystal bones traveling on a forested spaceship at over 100,000 Kilometers per hourspiraling through our Milky Way galaxy on a mysterious voyage without a map or destination woven within a pattern of starskeeping time with the moonDarling, isn't it wonderous to have our own moon?That travels with us always?You, We, UsAre powered by an incandescent star Our glorious sun, we worship you stillYou light up our vessels of stars and waterwith the sacred geometry of your luminous nature Am I so different than this blooming tree?This hummingbird, could very well be meWe are encoded with a tenderand temperamental psycheliving within a story we won’t be able to controlEach of uscarrying unique hidden information that longs to be expressed in the shape of a living myth our hidden gifts looking forways to reveal themselvesthrough usYou are dreamed and designed by gracious Infinite Intelligence to have an Illuminated heart capable of ever-expanding poetry in a seemingly impossible situation Darling you are a cathedral of light!I worship at the foot of your altarsFlowers bloom where you have dancedI fall breathless into your potentialsFinding place, pace and grace in your moon-kissed faceWe don't know how we got hereWe don't really know where we are going nowBut we know thisLove is at the center Love is at the center Love is at the centerof the Universe We are cosmic pilgrimsYou are an ancient identityat the crossroads of an uncertain futureWill you cross the threshold with me?Shiloh Sophia Revisioned Poem today adapted from the original in 2021Oh my friends, my friends! I would love nothing more than to take a long walk with you, holding hands and talking. I want to hear from you - not just what you post when your mad, or glad, but instead the early morning joys and fears. The things you don't say at the luncheon with colleagues or the dinner table with family. I want to know about the words on the shingle you don't put out about the gifts you really have for these wild times. You could describe me as a painter, a poet, a relucant priestess. But those aren't my real titles. The gifts I have don't work on a business card, can't be put into an algorithm, can't be seen with a machine mind looking deeply into my online history. Who I really am is who I am when I am when I am with you. Whether that is over a cuppa virtual or in person tea with the Muse. Or most especially when I am leading ceremony and I can feel you through the black hole of the camera. My real gifts are feelings. Feeling deeply. I don't care if you know that, or if the machine knows that. You can't use it against me and I know you wouldn't even try. I am a Lover. The universe is my Lover. Like Michael Jackson says, I'm a lover, not a fighter. The kinds of gifts we carry cannot be taken from us by wit or force or password or pressure. Your truest gifts are natural and innate - they are all innately tucked into who you are. You don't have to grow them, earn them or be certified in these gifts. You are the gifts being given through you. The pace of life, and the never-ending intensity can keep us from living them. But that doesn't mean they aren't within you. We are worried about a lot of things right now. I know. I feel it. I see it. I am tracking the many narratives on all sides of the shadow dance of now. There is a grand confluence occuring and it hurts. By grand I don't mean great, I mean BIG. Most days it feels like an unnatural disaster that could have been avoided. But the way we are, the harm we allow and promote, has been going on for so long. No way out but through, you know?But now that I have offerd a poem and a reflection if you have made it THIS far - I want to ask you the MOST SIGNIFICANT question or our life time. Your lifetime. Any recent timeline.But first...the reality is we have been in various stages of oppressive culture for close to 8,000 years - archeologically speaking. So that means we spend A LOT, get that? A LOT of precious life force working on resistance and insistence. Resisting power structures, resisting false narratives, insisting on justice, insisting on human rights. The energy it takes to resist and insist can keep us caught in the worrisome battle of a disgruntled activists. Present company included. Just for now...for right this minute in the naked now, I want to ask you a question. Don't skip ahead please. Pause and breathe. There.....close your eyes....open them...read the question and without thinking....answer without editing....If you weren't in the resistanceHow would you lead your life? Really - if you didn't have to confront reality - how would you use your precious days?Liberate your thoughts through falling in love with your gifts, when they are in service to beauty as WELL as in service to the modern revolutionary conundrums. I have been living my answer to that q

Beautiful beings! I hope you will take the time to listen to this brief message I exploring:* A choice in becoming conscious* Chemistry and mood shifts * Who is really in charge?* What’s the first step you can take?* A simple process you can do right now* Exercising your choice to become conscious and become a curator of your consciousnessthinking of youShiloh SophiaThe painting above is called an ancient future soul from 2023.

Today’s episode offers a teaching on * Access to your consciousness, do you have it?* Accessing who you are ‘in here’, aka your Self* Discovering a new awareness about what ‘getting out there’ means* Defining ‘out there’ for yourself and activating the Observer * Exploring the ‘missing there’ called “around here” that takes place in the field* Invitation to become as conscious as you can become…nowDear Ones,There is a lot of influence happening ‘out there’ on who you experience yourself as ‘in here’. Let’s have a breakthrough TODAY in arriving as yourself. Becoming as conscious as you can be. I think sometimes I am here in your life just to keep encouraging you to arrive. When we ARRIVE you can become a conscious Co-Creator. To really be a conscious Creator we have to be willing to explore the “field” Until then we are often wreckless with how we create. Because if you aren’t inhabiting who you are - then you aren’t able to REALLY create from a space of a coherent self. Here’s to arriving!Shiloh Sophia Here's the thing, Beloveds. Your capacity to create the life of your design is really about access to your consciousness. Without that clear access to consciousness, we do not make what we could make and we often make things that are inconsistent with what we actually want and who we actually are, because we're not living "in here". "In here", meaning in this identity. And when we're not "in here", we embark on a life where we are constantly seeking to change ourselves. Because the life we're living "out there" in the world, doesn't reflect who we are "in here" (in the Self) And when we're not who we are "in here", everything "out there" occurs for us as somehow true to us. Not going well. Uncomfortable. Not in alignment. Now I want to make a clear point - that we are not spiritually bypassing here. The reality is there are lots of influences that shape who we are "in here" in ourselves because of what's happening "out there" in the world. But the power we have is the perception of how "out there" and "in here are" in a co-creative relationship with each other... or not. But the thing is, they're always in a co-creative relationship with each other. You just might not be aware that they are and how to work it. You can't influence every single thing "out there" unless you can shift your orientation to "in here". But there's more. Before we go on, let's start with what I mean by "in here". "In here" refers to the body, temple, cooling sack of stars that you are, and the Soul that you are that inhabits the space where you experience yourself as I or me. The Self space that you are occurs for you as inside, "in here". This often includes the sense of the body, but not often enough, the sense of the field and consciousness, which keeps us from being conscious Co-creators. And what do I mean by "out there"? Well, until we've done more rigorous work within ourselves to observe ourselves, "out there" is everything you do not experience as you. And "out there" often refers to what we think of as the world, yet through the framework of our worldview. "Out There" a big old space that we are continually interacting with largely in an unconscious way, because we've never really defined what "out there" means. The invitation for the work right now is to arrive, to come into yourself, to become as fully yourself as you can possibly be. And yes, in the twinkling of an eye. Quickly. It's a quickening because it's available to you now, but you have to choose it. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever said to yourself: "I just got to get myself out there" ? Entrepreneurs say it, but other people say it too. It's this idea that there's a place you need to get to. So where is that "out there" for you? Have you defined it? We say it largely in an unconscious way. We don't know what we mean. The idea of "out there" can create fear because it indicates that there's a place to get to and you're not already there. (Wherever there is) This idea of 'getting out there" indicates that you're somehow going to magically get seen for who you are so you can validate your worth in the eyes of others out there so that you can feel good in here. But listen, to even attempt an authentic version of what happens out there, we have to get in here, in this sack of stars inhabited by identity. Otherwise, we're not responsibly co-creating with creation and creator and other creative beings. In our community, We get "in here" by practicing Intentional Creativity because it's a way to get to know who lives in here. Our art matriarch who walked into her future in 2014, Sue Hoya Sellers, who was also the woman who mothered me with my own mother, Caron, had a quintessential question that she answered with her whole life. called "who lives in here?". Her art, her philosophy, her spiritual path were all directed by the inquiry of: Who lives in here. The discovery of that self who lives in here often happens through observing ourselves and amplifies as we ob

In this Bouncing Love Bubble Meditation we include* Initiating a state change* Attempting to collaborate with our chemistry for a lift* Increase heart brain coherence* Feelings of Gratitude* The awareness of your body field* Amplify biophotons of love light in the body* Release your current version of reality (for the moment)* Travel to imaginal utopian lands - what will you imagine?* Erupt in LOVE because you can - proclaim to the universe - I AM LOVE!!!* Choose one small thing to change in your lifeBeautiful Beings - I can ALMOST guarantee that if you do this meditation you will feel a bit better. We are capable of moderating our mood to the best of our abillity and sometimes we need a burst of JOY to make that possible. A state change, a lift. You will hear me laughing, almost crying and even my stomach gurgle (LOL) as I guide you on this spontaneous adventure into the imaginal world to experience gratitude, love, a utopian landscape of your subconsious and choose to make one small change in your life. Basically, feel better.Today’s meditation is inspired by Holly, Lavender and Michelle, three women in my community with teenagers or youth. When I first came up with this meditation I imagined them being able to listen to it and get a lift, but then it went too long and it might not work for the attention span. BUT you could try it. Soft blankets on a big couch and a cuppa tea and this…you could try. I will attempt some other ones for youth soon, I am sparked to do something I can to help with our nervous systems by choice. We can’t explain the bizarre time we are in to them, deep inside they know we have failed them in this society. So now it seems like it is time to offer them as many tools as possible - and for me this begins with claiming their imagination. Really it is more like rescuuing it from the reality they have been sold and told. Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

Oh my goodness you all. I’m not sure exactly what to say right now that matters, other than that this is the time to express ourselves. I was moved tonight to let you know that I am here and paying attention and going through some of the same things you are. And I’m also as ready as I can be to support us during this time. I’m pacing the floor tonight. These are my thoughts. I want to recommend that you record your own thoughts, even if you don’t share them. Or write them out. Or dance them out in pink sparkle uggs! I replaced the audio from last night…it felt too vulnerable upon waking. I tried another one that is better I hope. I am not speaking for the community that I serve.

Happy new year beautiful beings,I’m so grateful to be sharing tea with the muse with you in 2025. For every single project that I work on, I’ve asked myself, do I still want to do this and am I called to this? Is this still benefiting people? What do I really have to say that really matters right now? I’m happy to say that tea with the muse is going to continue. I love connecting with you. I have another episode of my memoir coming, but I’m going move it to a different channel so I’ll let you know about that. I realize that my memoir has been hanging me up from the regular tea with the muse style posts that I love to make.I hope you enjoy this teaching, which is one of my core teachings about thoughts and feelings, waves and particles, and how to prepare the mind to create transformation!New year blessings to every single one of you! I am truly honored every time you listen, read, comment and appreciate the workings of the muse! Shiloh Sophia Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

Dear Ones, I’m in Mexico for the holidays teaching art and I was thinking of you and our struggles to become.

Hello everyone! Please forgive me for a little foray into political discourse this past week. I am doing my best to show up for my community instead of going quiet. Because it directly relates to women and people of color and safety, and even the way that we self express, it actually comes into my lane. I will likely be complete with my commentary soon. But for now this is how I’m showing up. Take it or leave it. In a way I am modeling, intentional creativity through sharing my process in community.

Hi community! I know there’s so much going on, but please take a listen on a walk or while you’re painting if you are interested at all in why I am taking a stand in the middle, which is not a neutral stand. This arises out of my concerns for the golden age rhetoric that I’m seeing and also how we are being so divided and just saying, actually that doesn’t need to happen.Onward with love 💗 Shiloh Sophia Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

These are rough and curious times. Today I have been particularly challenged and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I know sometimes my life can seem shiny and amazing, and it is. But I also go through all the really hard things just like so many of you. I have lots of tools and so my resilience may be different in my capacity to respond, but I too am being challenged. This is a time for ecstatic discipline. I could not be more grateful for intentional creativity, and for this community. this is not about misery loves company, but it is about not feeling singled out in anything hard that you’re experiencing. ❤️ Shiloh Sophia Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

Painting in Process - Animystica - Cura Archetype Good Morning Muses!I woke up smelling the change in the air and the seeing the light shifting towards this coming Equinox, officially on the 22nd at 5:43 am pst. For those in the Northern Hemisphere we turn towards Autumn. For those in the Southern Hemisphere we turn towards Spring. On September 18 we have a partial Lunar Eclipse visible from Mexico, Canada and the United States. The moon is 97percent full as of this moment and will be full in one day and 11 hours and 38 minutes. There are things we can count on, at least for now. We can count on the moons relationship to the sun….let us honor that relationship.I would love to be someone in your life you can count on to bring you insight and inspiration…I would love for our community at MUSEA and the Cura Council (our ceremonial branch) to provide a place of continuity and compassion. I would love for Intentional Creativity to provide a consistent go-to practice for you to be nourished by. Our community is going to be here for you, this is our sacred assignment.

Greetings everyone! In order to achieve attunement when you are creating your world with your word to yourself, there needs to be reciprocity. There is an often missed piece about the energy exchange of gathering and giving. For manifestation to be attuned and good for you and for all - the energy of giving and receiving in a sacred exchange is actually essential or there is mis-alignment. How do we condition our bodies to create in the fullness of our being-ness?To get into the optimal condition, we need to work with a collaborative idea - Nervous System Reciprocity* In today’s episode, I’m going to relate giving and receiving to the nervous system function* The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system aren’t a division but a collaboration * You can consciously choose a different trauma response if you knew there was one available, there is * Invitation to understand how these systems are influencing your capacity to create what you wantI hope you find it useful, I am no expert but am stretching to understand how to make things come to life in my life and support you in yours.Warmly,Shiloh Sophia Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe

AND setting yourself free from the shame and blame game. I will also share my observations about how the deck is stacked against us. And the power we have to do something about it!Here are a few ways to more fully engage with the teachings.

Dear Ones,The reason we create our world with our words is because we create our world with our thoughts. By world I don’t mean just the world around you, but how you experience the world around you, inner and outer. By word I don’t just mean the words you speak out loud but the words you speak to yourself in your inner world. Intentional Creativity has a solution and we want to show it to you, share it with you and have you share it with others. If you can’t hear your own voice, the voices of others will control your thoughts, and your actions. Let’s move towards liberation.Shiloh SophiaHere are the options right now for participatingComplimentary 2 Hour Class https://musea.org/creating-your-world/ABRACADABRA Yearlong Course https://musea.org/manifest/ Get full access to Tea with the Muse at teawiththemuse.substack.com/subscribe
