Goddess Inspiration and Affirmations

Bast – Goddess of Pleasure and Joy (Egyptian)

Message as channeled by Tora Moon 9/28/10

Greetings Dear Ones!  Come and listen to the message I have for you this day:

Painting of Bast

Mmmm…. Some may call me and my sacred cats hedonists for we seek pleasure and joy in all things, in all ways.  However we seek pleasure, we abide by the Law of Harm None in our seeking and expression of pleasure and joy.  Our pleasure is found in the simple things of life; good food, good company, refreshing drink, the warmth of the sun, or the cooling breeze.  All of these are pleasures to be found.  My gift of joy to you.

Many in today’s times believe they need to have money or spend money to find pleasure and to experience fun.  Dear Ones, this is not true.  Do you need money to run through the sprinklers to cool off?  Do you need money to sit on the beach, or mountain, or in a park, or even your front lawn to watch the sunset, or the moonrise, or the clouds pass by?  Do you need money to play with a beloved pet?  Or your child?

As you grow from childhood to adulthood, the responsibilities of being an adult can seem to weigh you down.  You forget to play, to have fun, because you feel you must be serious all the time.  On the other extreme are those who never seem to “grow up” and play all the time.  These people seem to continually seek the next new thrill so they can feel alive.  In between, is the balance of maintaining your sense of responsibility and your sense of fun.

Humans are meant to have fun, to experience pleasure.  It is why it is an innate quality within you to gravitate and seek those things which bring you pleasure.  Your life experience is meant to be one of pleasant, beautiful experiences with a little challenge and hardship thrown in for spice and growth. Life isn’t meant to be a drudgery and for you to continually suffer!  We, the Beings and Aspects of The Divine, want you to thrive; to be in Thrival.  Thrival is that state of Being or act of thriving.  It is our gift to you and your birthright to be in Thrival.

Dear Ones, take a step away from what you perceive as the stress of life.  Take a deep breath, and find something pleasant to do; something that pleases you and makes you smile and feel joyful doing.  It could be making a batch of cookies with your children or grandchildren.  Or taking a bubble bath.  Or going for a scenic drive.  Or listening, really listening to beautiful music.  Or dancing by yourself.  The options are endless.  Whatever it is, allow yourself to enjoy it, be pleasured by it, and feel the laughter bubble up inside of you until it bursts out in giggles.  (Yes, you too, my Beloved Sons – you are capable of giggles!)

My gift of pleasure is that of the innocent joys that all can experience.  And my pleasure is the adult joy of sharing and pleasuring another’s body in sex and sensuality – or your own body.  This too, is Blessed Pleasure and Joy and my gift to you. 

In ancient times, lovemaking was a sacred act of worship of me.  You, my Dear Ones, can bring this sense of sacredness and worship to your own lovemaking.  As you please and worship the woman before you, you worship The Goddess, the Feminine Divine in her.  As you please and worship the man before you, you worship The  God, the Masculine Divine in him.  My act of sacred lovemaking can be shared by any – it need not only be a heterosexual couple – for there is the Feminine and Masculine Divine in each person.  In truth, We – The Divine – are neither and both.  We are all encompassing and the tiniest particle.

It saddens me to see so many of my Children, especially my Beloved Daughters, thrust into positions where sex is no longer sacred, but a tool for control and pain, or a way of manipulation or to get what is wanted.  It saddens me to see young children abused and the joy of sex stripped away from them along with their innocence.  This is not what my gift of sex and pleasure from lovemaking is meant to be.  It is a mutual pleasure.

My message to you, Dear Ones, is to find and experience pleasure and joy in the simple things.  I invite you to find pleasure and joy – and even Thrival -  in your life experiences.  Dear Ones, I especially invite you to remember and rediscover the sacredness, pleasure, and joy from making love to a Beloved Partner.

Blessings to you, Dear Ones.  There is great love here for you.
