Are you a Mystic or Visionary? This is for you.

Welcome to The Church of Beloved Presence.

(Future me edit: I changed the name of this endeavour to “Beloved Presence” because “church” kept feeling weird)

My name is Lezley Davidson and I am the High Priestess of Holy Sh!t (lol)

What is this? Is this a Christian Church?

No. No… the word “church” originally meant the house of the lord. The Lord back in the day, was the Guardian of the Land - the Caretaker, the Steward of all the animals and plants and people on the land.

Well… okay. What’s Beloved Presence? What’s that all about? Is it god?

I don’t know. I don’t know what it is exactly.

It may be what we refer to as ‘god’ but not in a religious way. It’s something that I’ve felt since I was aware of myself in the world. It’s a feeling of never being truly alone - because there’s always a Beloved Presence with us.

Not in a creepy ghost stalking way… it’s the Beloved Presence of Being in all things.

The Beloved Presence is everything - all the trees, plants, animals, insects, water, wind, flowers, grain, birds, rain… everything that exists - maybe “god” is what we get when we understand that everything is united as one, that ‘thou art that’ is a real and actual fact?

I don’t know. Except that I do.

I feel it. I can feel it’s truth and so can you.

I am the High Priestess of Holy Sh!t - because all of this shit is holy, every fucking piece of it.

I am a mystic.

If you found me here, you’re probably a mystic too.

I had a powerful, life-changing mystical event happen when I was in my 20’s that has acted as a compass in my life ever since.

I’ll probably talk about it again - you can ask me questions if you want as well, it’s not a secret or private or anything.

The nugget of that experience was that I knew - knew in every atom in my existence that:

We are one - there is literally nothing outside - no one and no thing is exempt, nothing and no one is excluded - we are all one, connected.
There is nothing but love - we are all loved without any judgement at all - loved completely and utterly unconditionally for eternity.
That it’s all okay - everything is okay, everything that is or was or ever will be is okay.
We thrive in a community of like-minded people
I have spent the last 25 years of my life living from this truth… from this knowing - because I know that this is truth - I know it in every particle of my being.
I’ve lived my life from that source with varying degrees of success. I’ve lived my life from that source on my own and now I want to try living my life from that source with a group of like-minded people.
That’s what Beloved Presence is - a community of people who want to be supported in their lives from a place of mystical awareness and visionary guidance.
Your own direct connection to Wholiness guidance. Re-member the Source in yourself.
You may not call it “Beloved Presence” but you know what the fuck I’m talking about and it’s HARD to do this work all alone. There can be so much push back from other people about living your life in this way - family, friends, co-workers who don’t get it, don’t understand even the words that you’re using, don’t understand the choices you make because they often don’t make “logical” sense.
Living from Beloved Presence often isn’t “logical”. It’s intuitive and mystical and based upon a different criteria of importance and it’s necessary to have a like-minded community of supportive people to remind you that you are not, in fact, a crazy person.
We are not crazy people.

The face of sanity. Lol! Hello 40 year old me. Pretty purple hair.

Of Course You're Not a Crazy Person

But this society can make you think you are. This society may see you as crazy.

Living from Beloved Presence often results in being judged, scorned, dismissed and not taken seriously by people in our lives. Without support we judge, scorn and dismiss ourselves because it’s easier than fighting an uphill battle of explanations about why we choose to think and act like we do.

It must be way worse if you have to deal with the traditionally religious as well - the added stress of having to explain how no, you don’t exactly believe all of that anymore (or never did), but no, it doesn’t mean you don’t believe, it’s just… complicated.

The Church of Beloved Presence is where we go to be understood, supported and believed on our mystical, visionary path. We’re here to offer the respect and the cheerleading that’s necessary to keep on this path in the face of resistance.

We’re a safe place where “all vibes are welcome”. It’s not just good vibes, we are a place to vent and be angry and sad and upset. Living from Beloved Presence doesn’t mean everything FEELS okay all the time - being alive is hard!

Being alive is challenging and sometimes it hurts and it’s okay to say so.

Sometimes being alive sucks ass and feels like shit.

That’s okay too.

Beloved Presence honours all the feelings - Beloved Presence holds space for all the different ways of being alive until we’re ready to process the feeling and re-member the truth of who the Universe knows us to be.

We are a Divine Reminder

Being Beloved Presence acts as a mirror.

We are a divine reminder to each other. We mirror the truth of who we really are and why we’re here, regardless of what the media and society try and convince us is important. Things are changing… our human society is changing - because mystics and visionary people all over the world are brave enough to be who they truly are in their lives.

We are allowed to make mistakes and get it wrong - we’re allowed to stumble and fall. Beloved Presence is a reminder not to stay down. We can’t do this work alone. It’s too much to carry by ourselves.

Special is a lie.

Look, we’re all united, we’re all one - either everyone is special or no one is. There is no other truth of existence.

There is, in our society however the existence luck and privilege. Privilege is being lucky enough to have the money and the connections to fuel your dreams.

Most of us don’t.

It doesn’t mean that we don’t get our dreams - it means that we have to be more brave and dedicated to seeing them come to fruition. Because here’s the thing - your dreams aren’t pie in the sky fantasy.

Your dreams literally exist because they are a guide post for your desires and goals.

It’s not a pipe dream - it’s your stretch goal.

(I know that you grand have secret dreams.)

Maybe you’ve never shared them before or maybe you have, to a very few people who you think would understand. I’m wondering how many of you think that they’re not possible, or that you have to be “special” to do whatever your dreams are.

Make the spirit flesh. Make the dream manifest.

Beloved Presence is here for your mystical, visionary dreams.

We’re here to support your goals, to remind you that hard work, dedication and tenacity win over “talent” every day and keeping you accountable to your goals works step by step to realize them.

Being a mystic and a visionary doesn’t mean never realizing your dreams. It does mean bringing your dreams to Earth so that they can be grounded into a plan that you can actually do.

We don’t wish shit to life here. We don’t magical think it into reality.

Bring your spirit to matter.

Bring your vision to earth and make it happen.

It’s all a dream until you bring it to earth.

It’s not going to happen TO you - you will bring the dreams forth from yourself until it’s a dream no more. That’s what we’re here for - to support you along the way. To give strength to your will and cheer-lead you on your path.

"Nothing works out for me."

If nothing’s worked out for you yet, that’s okay.

You’re not dead.

It’s not over.

We don’t worry about the afterlife here at Beloved Presence. The afterlife will take care of itself. We care about living on Earth NOW - and living our lives as connected to Beloved Presence as possible.

What do you mean nothing works out for you?

I met the love of my life at age 37. Literally way past the point that I thought I was “supposed” to meet him, but I met him when it was finally right for both of us.

Up until meeting Keith, I thought I was a loser in love. No one stayed. I never had a relationship last more than 3 years and in all honesty I was done with most of them by year 2, the third year was just gearing up to break it off.

Or I wanted someone who didn’t really want me. It’s embarrassing. Humiliating really. But that’s me - leading with my heart, feeling the feels and putting it out there. I am who I am.

If I had known that Keith was coming, I never would have put up with all the relationship bullshit I did over the years. I always thought “this was the best I’m going to get”, but it wasn’t and it only took one person to stay, for me to stop being a loser in love.

It took one ‘perfect for me’ love of my life.

(12 years later, he still is.)

I always believed he was coming, I did.

I always believed that I would find a beautiful love of my life… I just didn’t know when and I didn’t know who so until he showed up it was very confusing.

Beloved Presence will remind you not to give up. Not on love, not on health, not on career, not on anything that you keep dreaming about. We’ll help get you there somehow.

Just don’t give up - or it’ll never work out.

"I don’t even know what I want to be doing."

Great.

A lot of people are like that.

No one teaches us how to create lives of meaning and fulfillment and satisfaction. Our society isn’t built that way - we’re trained to be obedient worker servants to the corporate class.

No one teaches us how to identify our strengths and skills or how to listen to our guidance and follow the path that Beloved Presence has laid out for us through this life.

This is what we work on at Beloved Presence.

This is the Holy Sh!t work that we choose to do as mystics and visionaries.

This is the Holy Sh!t work that we do around identity and purpose, sovereignty and joy. We are mystics and visionaries and we came to do this work of healing and growth and change. We are mystics and visionaries and we came to do this work of releasing everything that stands in the way of our truth.

We are mystics and visionaries and we came to do this Holy Sh!t.

We’ve all got a lot of responsibilities and draws on our time. Divine Reminders are here when you need Them.

Online 24/7 - you dip your toe in when you need a boost, when you need support, when you need a mirror for your spiritual truth, when you have a moment to spare.

I’m doing this Holy Sh!t too and it’s ongoing. I’m doing this work for myself - because it’s what I need to keep following my dreams and being true to Beloved Presence. I’m building what I believe in.

It’ll be here and you come when you’re thirsty. It’ll be here and you contribute when you feel guided to do so.

Thanks for supporting the mystics and visionaries.

Love,

Lezley xox
