Rising Above Dogma—Poetic Reflection: A Divine Heretic Book

By Janine Palmer

Religion has caused much strife in the world due to misinterpretations and mistranslations. Many don’t take the time to learn about the other belief systems they decide to judge. People like to think their way is right and others’ are wrong, which is ego. So many people treat others horribly in the name of religion. After much study of religions, Gnosticism, early Christianity, philosophy, biblical scholars, and spiritual teachers, Janine Palmer (Silver Moon) shares profound messages of different perspective to assist with ascension and rising above falsehood and illusion and back toward love.

Janine Palmer (Spirit Silver Moon) grew up in Northern California and resides in Southern California today. After devastating county-wide wild fires and global economic collapse, Janine and her family endured physical, economical and emotional losses, along with the loss of friendships. Judgmental treatment by so-called religious people (family/friends) caused her to question religions due to poor treatment by others in religious ideology. These initiations tested her inner strength and caused her to investigate more deeply for truth, what brings true happiness, forward movement, the evolvement of the soul and ultimately she discovered her calling. She was one of the phoenix’s who rose from her own ashes with a powerful story to share of truth, strength, wisdom, compassion, love and taking one’s power back. We must remember our magnificence to in order to rise above so much illusion. Looking for answers, Janine Palmer (Silver Moon) extensively studied and continues to study multiple healing modalities for emotional and spiritual healing. Janine has studied World Religions, Spirituality, Early Christianity, Gnosticism, Philosophy, Critical Thinking, Biblical Scholars, and Spiritual teachers. Janine is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Shamanic Practitioner.

These modalities are helpful for releasing stress, old pain, resentment, anger, doubt, grief, unforgiveness or anything which blocks forward movement. Through her healing sessions, whether held in person, via phone or skype, she has helped others heal, grow, overcome obstacles and move forward lighter after releasing what no longer serves. This knowledge and wisdom is contained within her writings of uplifting messages for healing. She shares tools we can use to assist ourselves and others on their path. Janine is the author of multiple books containing many genres and messages from various teachings and modalities. The four main genres are story poems, romance, rising above dogma and emotional and spiritual healing.

Foreword

When we read and study, we learn, if we are open to it and if it resonates. Sometimes, things we are ‘learning’ are things we already know and we are really remembering. The process of studying, opens us to facts and curiosities, we didn’t know, and adds to our knowledge base. It also opens us to go within to determine what that information means to us and how we apply it or not. It might bring deeper meaning and understanding to why people behave the way they do. How they are stuck or blinded by beliefs which influence them or keep them stuck in collective egoic thinking.

So we then can gain a better understanding of where we stand on our journey and perhaps how we do or do not want to behave. It’s about what energy we are putting out there and also how we allow other’s energy to affect us, or not. To remain open to learning is key. Reading, studying and learning open us and guide us within, where all the answers lie anyway.

Writing about something I learn or am learning is helpful me and can be helpful to others. Knowledge and wisdom gained from something I encounter or learn, even from listening to someone who is a teacher or someone I respect and admire, is part of growth and expression. But that is only one perspective. Some people become offended by what you do no matter what it is. Some people look for faults and are only too happy to point them out.

Learn what you can from every person and situation. Be yourself with love for yourself. Be willing to listen and to look at things and yourself from a different perspective. Learn from it but don’t carry burdens. Don’t hold anything against yourself. It’s a trap and it is counter-productive to growth, evolvement and forward movement.

Relationships with people always change. Try to hold onto and honor the love, even if you don’t understand the behavior. If someone’s behavior toward you is hurtful, step away and set boundaries. Enduring what feels like unfair or negative treatment from anyone is not honoring yourself. If you speak your truth and someone will not listen, you might need to detach and it is an act of love for yourself to do so.

Forgiveness is the most important thing you can do for yourself and for your well-being. To forgive yourself and others is a cosmic key to freedom. We can’t forgive others unless and until we can forgive ourselves. Acceptance as well is more important than can ever be expressed in words. What we resist persists. Resistance keeps us stuck. Holding onto negative thoughts keeps us stuck and those thought loops feed nasty programs which we shouldn’t even be running or carrying.

The poetry written here is largely written for and from my own healing and the knowledge and wisdom gained upon my path from experiences and my calling. Nothing is ever meant to offend or to be offensive. It is for the purpose of expression and awareness and from love and compassion. When we break free of programming and conditioning, ideologies and rigid mindsets, we are open to learn so many amazing things. When/if we hold things against others, we hold them against ourselves and block ourselves and our forward movement.

When we let go of resentment towards anything or anyone we let go of negative debris in our energy field and open ourselves to receive. Sometimes we think people do things to us when they do not. Misperceptions cause unnecessary wars. So does ego. When do we defend ourselves and when do we detach and just walk away? Our truth does not need to be defended. If/when someone hurts us and we find we have to step away, we still need to forgive. If you cannot forgive you will not be free.

Best regards,

Illusions & the Veil

1.JPG

Banner of Light

If a banner were I to fly for you,

Will I tell you what it would say?

What message would it deliver?

You’re part of the truth, the light and the way.

It would remind you and others of your mission,

That we are all here to do God’s work,

That we are reflections of our Creator,

We’re of the Thought and the Breath and the Word.

When we begin to recognize one another,

As brothers and sisters and part of the One,

Our internal magnificence blazes,

As collective and individual suns.

From our heart and soul comes the call,

The spark of remembrance Divine,

Recognizing from whence we came,

We’re all connected to the same vine.

That we are messengers, healers and teachers,

That man and beast and the earth,

Are as Holy and Divine as the Heavens,

Which are inside us, ready to be birthed.

To be released from the prison of illusions,

From our egos and masked lower selves,

To be seekers and systems busters,

All answers within if we delve.

The kingdom, my brothers, is within us,

It is nowhere else to be found,

Heaven or hell you will find there,

By choice and free will, it’s profound.

To free yourself from illusion,

From lies, deception and fears,

That’s the purpose of your journey,

From these experiences you learn while you’re here.

Let go of the pain the shame and the guilt,

And find the love within,

When a step is taken in this direction,

Your true life will begin.

When we rise above the veil,

Of ourselves in this lower dimension,

We’ll create from our thoughts and deeds,

Love and beauty by our higher intention.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Inner Truth

How do we learn to let go of, what spoke to our heart so dear,

When do we begin to realize, when we detach we lose the fear,

Fear is a debilitating monster, that robs us of the now,

We let it bully us and control us and most of us don’t know how.

Fear of loss can create, the very thing we fear,

When we don’t realize it’s an illusion, nothing will be clear,

Step back from any situation, be the observer of what’s going on,

Will you give up your power in weakness or will you continue to be strong?

Inner strength is passed down from ancestors, incarnations and our soul,

And from our inner resources, we can tap into what we know,

There is knowledge, there is truth, there is wisdom ancient and true,

And how you find it and how you use it, is entirely up to you.

Empower yourself, take charge of your path, you are your very own guide,

Disconnect those outdated programs you run, rip them from the places they hide,

Release what no longer serves you, embrace your own divine spark,

And as you stand in your own light, you will lead others out of the dark.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Capstone

That mystical deep connection between souls,

When their hearts sing to one another,

The way they will risk their mortal life,

To save their beloved sister or brother.

These are the qualities of the higher self,

The flickering of the capstone,

Flickering as it does in and out of sight,

Sometimes as flesh and bone.

Our pyramid of light, our temple,

Which is hidden safely within,

At times the capstone seems to be missing,

Then it might appear bearing a grin.

We have to be open to observe it,

We can’t see it from ego’s level,

That lower level of veils and illusions,

The shadow side also known as the devil.

Even though it might not always be visible,

And somehow not in plain sight,

Our capstone is in our presence and always with us,

Even through the soul’s dark night.

Many are not fully aware,

They have everything they need,

It’s just on the other side of fear,

Judgment, doubt and greed.

You pyramid is mighty,

A fortress strong and true,

It’s the visible and the invisible,

The complex mixture that is you.

Open to the mystery,

Trust your intuitive gifts,

Buckle up baby,

As you flow through this amazing shift.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

The Church

I came across a wise man sitting upon a fence,

I asked him several questions and his answers made good sense;

I asked him which of the world’s churches was closest to the truth,

He said you won’t find the answers in there my son, mankind has been cleverly fooled.

He spoke of mistranslations and about how mankind does not understand,

That the kingdom of God is not outside of yourself, you are your very own clan;

You are the product of divine genealogy, not just the physical but the spirit,

But mankind is so distracted by outside noises, most of them cannot hear it.

He said, I don’t follow what the Church says, since I found out it was wrong,

It’s an outdated broken record, singing an erroneous song,

Instead I prefer to listen, to God speak now through my soul,

That God resides in my Sacred Heart, is all I need to know.

The church has killed me before, for not buying into its lies,

Because it’s ruled by darkness, clothed in an angel’s disguise;

The High God of unspeakable energy, the God we cannot describe,

Does not need to keep man in guilt and fear, imbalance does not serve the Light.

God does not dwell in negativity, God is the Creator of Light,

So who is the source who uses religions as tools, to keep man trapped in night?

Who is this wolf in sheep’s clothing, who has pulled the wool over man’s eyes?

It’s also known as the veil and to shred it would be very wise.

Do you know you’re a co-creator, along with the Spirit of God our Creator?

You create with your thoughts and actions; are you a lover or you a hater?

Are you guided by a higher power or are you ruled by a controlling church?

Are you mired in guilt-riddled stagnation? Are you ready for re-birth?

Baptism by water or fire, realizing the Christ within,

Awaken to the Collective Consciousness and rejecting the notion of sin;

Am I a misguided heretic, working for God undercover?

Or am I a pawn of the Church’s darkness? That is for you to discover.

No one can tell you what is right or wrong, only you will know,

When you stop looking for answers outside of yourself and ask for them from your soul;

God placed a gift within your soul, the glorious kingdom within,

And when you discover that treasure inside of yourself, your true life can begin.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Second Sight

Through familiar grooves and patterns, we know not what we create,

It becomes ever more difficult to find, the keyhole to the light, the gate;

We identify too much with things, which are external to ourselves,

When it’s into the mystery within us, which we should ever endeavor to delve.

There are so many questions marks set upon life’s mysterious page,

Dark bundles to sort through daily, of confusion, sadness, fear and rage;

Lo, an invitation for the curious, to take a step within,

To find that pinhole of eternal light, sheltered from external din.

A choice to remain stubborn and shuttered, bound in incomprehension,

Or to embrace the Oneness within, apart as it is from deception,

The cause and perpetrator are part of the dream,

And brilliant lights, ciphers, of the conscious stream.

The cause and the perpetrator and the victim as well,

Caught up in the illusion of their own private little hell,

Can you countenance this erroneous, demanding need?

Or will you disengage, and from the light stream feed?

Illusions and misinterpretations of facts, eroding minds and families in lack,

Or pulling off the cloak of lies and getting your connection to your creator back,

No more identifying with the dark and dull, your heart is free and light,

A surge of your very own energy returns, and you regain your second sight.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Bless

He said bless the things that matter,

Be in gratitude every day,

And you will carve out along your path,

A demonstration of the light and the way.

Be a wisdom keeper,

Shed the burden of lies,

Greet your inner knowing,

Step out of your disguise.

Peel off that mask you wear,

It’s outdated, a cumbersome dead weight,

It’s a falsehood you used to hide behind,

Before you found the gate.

Before your heart was opened,

You were led around by your mind,

Which is limited and it was programmed,

To keep you stuck in fear and spiritually blind.

There is more to your reality,

Than the things you have been taught,

There is more to your reality,

Than the falsehoods you have bought.

Some of us are modern prophets,

I am a preacher for the light,

To remind you of your beauty,

And it’s not about wrong or right.

You are worthy of the highest love,

Because it is your home,

You’re not a slave to the veil,

When you lift the veil, you atone.

Janine Palmer (Silver Moon)

Masks

So many masks and shields, so many walls and illusions,

Are our thoughts our idols, are we lost in confusion?

Are our thoughts right and others’ thoughts wrong,

Just because we each sing a different song?

Explore the exquisite beauty of your higher self,

You have infinite gifts in you, belonging to no one else;

Do you ever feel the victim, of a game you cannot win?

And do you find you buy into, the dogmatic illusion of sin?

Some things we follow, which we think are true,

Purposefully or unintentionally, mislead me and you;

What if we all stepped out of the box?

Or took a mighty sword and shattered the locks…

Shatter the locks and tear open the veil,

Remove our worn-out masks, in order to prevail;

We prevail by remembering, the truth of our Divine Source,

We take our power
