The First Flame
What if there was a different creation story other than the one you inherited?
Welcome to The First Flame (This is a landing page as we grow and build an official site.)
We are a spiritual organization devoted to upholding Sacred Law. Sacred Laws are the foundation of universal wisdom that support unity consciousness, right relationship with all beings, sovereignty, sacred abundance, reciprocity and regeneration that fosters Life inclusivity.
The First Flame is the inviolable Love that burns forever bright within each soul. The temple is a space to reconnect to that which can never die within us. This is a place to reclaim the Holy, the Sacred, the Great Mystery, the many faces of God, Mother Goddess, Great Spirit, Love, the Church, Christ, prayer and gospel from under hierarchies that indoctrinate separatism, exclusivism and monotheism.
We provide a malleable blueprint for awakening individual cosmology, belonging, personal lineage, indigeneity, animism, personal prayer and individual soul expression. The services and wisdoms offered here help develop the conscious awareness and importance of spirituality in everyday life. Individual expression is fostered as an integral part of a harmonious collective web.
Each soul has a right to thrive according to God’s Divine Will. The Divine Will upholds Sacred Law- meaning your divine will guides you towards a way of life that upholds the divine will of all others. When we surrender to divine will our lives and life around us restores to balance.
The voice of God hails within our flesh and blood, the beat of our hearts, the longing in our soul. We are born with an innate wisdom that lives within our intuitive bodies. Each sacred impulse, feral sense and pang of hunger was created for us to seek out the exact thing needed to satisfy our human needs, enliven our souls and most important, keep us humbly intimate with belonging. We are part of a great family network of Universal wisdom that is woven into our bodies, the Earth body and all of Her children.
When we remember this, follow the wisdom in our bodies and live by these laws, we have no option but to fall to our knees in weeping gratitude for the Love we feel that made it all so. Our mouths gape open in song again for the mysterious Awesomeness that could take our breath away as swiftly as it was gifted. We begin to live in praise. We become the temple.
The church was first a temple. The temple was first the space between Heaven and Earth. The Earth was first a Heavenly Goddess veiled in Stars. So She named herself Gaia and brought you through Her Womb for Love to gaze upon itself.
