Other Anamcara Definitions

Anam Cara, Irish for "soul friend," and as the great Irish poet and philosopher, John O'Donaghue wrote, "Anam Cara's understand where you are coming from and understanding is precious; where you are understood you are at home.

From speech by the then Taoiseach, Mr. Bertie Ahern, TD.

--------------------------

In Celtic Spirituality, the Anam Cara friendship awakens the fullness and mystery of you life. You are joined in an ancient and eternal union with humanity that cuts across all barriers of time, convention, philosophy, and definition

----------------------

To be a soul friend (Anam Cara) is to provide a place of sanctuary to another where, through our acceptance, love, and hospitality, he or she can grow in wisdom, and both of us in depth.

Edward Sellner

W. B. Yeats
– Soul Friend - Mo Anam Cara

Soul friends will appear at various stages of your life's journey. William Butler Yeats started calling me around the time this writer was ‘coming home’ – returning to Ireland after thirty years living away.

One can read the poetry of Yeats and be taken on a journey into the stages of the development of human consciousness. This is the true invitation from poetry. It is an invitation to remember who you are and why you are.

RADIANT STORY

Have you ever been treated unfairly. Have you ever wondered about those who seem to have it all but get it all by unfair means. This story is written to assure you that there is a price to pay for every unkind word you ever have spoken. This is not a punishment. It is a Universal Law.

Let this Irish storyteller and séanachie take you into a story that will give your heart hope that this world is a fair and just place.

Shadow Flower and The Gardner of Time

In the Garden of Time there lives a flower called Shadowflower. No one quite knows how she got her rather strange name.

All the bees are drawn to this flower for her sweetness and the way she sends out rhythms that dance on the wind. Birds sing more deeply and more beautifully when in the presence of this flower.

All the little flowers, especially one called “Bright Spirit,” sit at the feet of this seasoned old flower and loved to hear the story of how she got her name.

When all is quiet in the Garden of Time and the birds have ceased singing and the bees have stopped buzzing, the flower who loves her own shadow begins the story of how she got her name.

Fragments of Story

That's what the true story-teller should be: a great guide, a clear mind, who can walk a silver line in hell or madness. Dante chose Virgil. I would choose Christ, or the Buddha, or Lao Tzu, or Homer.

Aphorisms and Fragments from 'The Joy of storytelling.' by Ben Okri

Echo and Narcissus - Waterhouse

Keywords and Phrases - A way of Reflecting your Divine Purpose

These key words, and other related phrases, connected with the unfolding of Divine purpose are not terribly popular. There are those promoting the unfolding of divine purpose through service not to Self but self-service. Such invitation, if it can be graced such a name, is the serving up of an unleashed narcissism.

The Tuatha De Danann and the Law of Attraction

Idun and the Apples of Immortality

All mystics, all great souls, invite you to do one thing in order to be happy.

This is that you give your life away.

This is not an invitation to martyrdom but service.
One of the growing dynamics in this Western world is increase in depression. The writer Frank Mac Eowen says in The Celtic Way of Seeing that the answer to depression is devotion.

New Radiant Soul Friend

Another wonderful soul friend offering the beauty of spiritual companionship

Ralph Waldo Trine - Mo Anam cara – My Soul Friend

"There is a golden thread that runs through every religion in the world. There is a golden thread that runs through the lives and teachings to all the prophets, seers, sages and saviors in the world’s history, through the lives of all great men (and women) of truly great and lasting power. All they have ever done or attained to has been done in full accordance with law."

The Anam cara Experience gives you spiritual direcion for the spiritual journey using spiritual development articles, podcasts, video, art and practices.

Using old Irish stories, heartsongs and mystic poetry you are invited to learn the language that will take you into the beauty of your timeless nature. You will be the living Law of Attraction you have come here to express. In this expression of your deep hearts core is true fulfillment and happiness including the deep peace of the infinite peace.

This invitation to feel the radiant beauty of your true nature is given through our weekly podcast entitled "The Deep Hearts Core." This introduces you to a deeper connection to the language of the heart. We also promote this invitation to your radiant beauty through our weekly ezine called Ready to Radiate - this is available FREE and comes with a beautifully illustrated report called "7 Ways to a Wonderful Life." Simply sign up for this ezine in the top right hand corner of this webpage.
: In addition to all this FREE stuff which we love to share with you there are the courses available to teach you a combined approach to living the revelation you truly are at heart.

In the Anam cara Experience vision of life this deep hearts core language is called geancannach, meaning Love Talk. Everyone can speak it but they have been taught that such a language is dangerous. It is dangerous in the sense that it transforms the heart and the way one sees the world.

It is a language that bards, storytellers, wisdom teachers of all time and all traditions have spoken. It is a language that will take you on a magical journey beyond your wildest imagination. This is why it is called transformational. It transforms your experience into the magic of what it means to be truly alive

How To Live The Life You Are Live Meant To Live!

This language of this radiant source of wisdom has been given new words in the Anam Cara Experience – Ready to Radiate ezine and the Deep Hearts Core podcast. These are not words that simply give you a definition of Anam Cara. These are words inviting love talk. Love is the real meaning and essence of The Anamcara Experience. This is an experience that goes far beyond the sentimentality that we connect with in most modern love songs. The Anam cara Experience invites the direct experience of unconditional Love.

The direct connection to the “Source Of Unconditional Love” is the spiritual hunger of our time. It has been the spiritual hunger of all times. This hunger is not satisfied by more information but by more meaning.

The Anam Cara Experience ezine and the Deep Hearts Core podcast give you words, images, stories, practices, invitations, poems, metaphor, parables, riddles, wonder tales, folk songs, modern songs – that take you beyond more information into a way of seeing and loving friendship as the real currency of life. This is your purpose, your true passion and true prosperity.

The definition of Anam cara will give you more information. It will not, however, align you with the purpose, passion and prosperity of life. Without alignment with your unique purpose – the Anamcara Experience – you will miss your birthright. This is the invitation to a wellspring of joy and meaning.

The Anam Cara Experience invites into being "into the know" that is beyond simply knowing about. You are invited to awaken that which is longing to speak your unique heart sound that you alone have come here to resonate. It is the unique way that you can flow into a transformed life as one in love with life, as one who has accepted the invitation to the true meaning of soul friendship.

We are all called to be friends to ourselves, to our families, our community and ultimately, our world. As Marianne Williamson tells us in her famous quote “Our Greatest Fear”

“Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We are meant to shine, as children do. – From Return to Love.”

The radiant source of wisdom that is within you does not play small. It is continuously expansive. It is the call of your soul to engage with a love talk that then becomes Love in Action. Then you do not need to run around doing you life but being the time of your life.

Why not except the invitation and claim your birthright. Please explore the site and allow it to invite you into insight. You in this way become a seer. A seer is one who sees through the heart and beyond the separate sense of self. They see and experience the world as a radiance of Love expressing in form. This is the invitation at your deep hearts core and the invitation within the Anam cara Experience - meaning anam - soul and cara - friend.
