Stephen Cipes: The Wine of Spirit
Dirk Terpstra: Stephen Cipes is living the life from such a large perspective. Stephen is not just a person, and we are not just persons, we are part of a much grander universe and a much grander God and much grander love. You already mentioned the Oneness, which makes us feel so connected. What is it, what is the message that you want to bring across Stephen?
Stephen Cipes: My message is clear and simple Dirk, we humans ARE God, our Knowingness IS holy. We can take back our glory and divinity now while respecting and supporting all the religions and all the laws we have created. As we well know, we evolve the law with our rising consciousness. This All One Era is our subtle, gentle yet all-powerful way for humanity to take back our power on all levels. It is our way to become Conduits of Spirit and turn around the present speeding greedy ruinous path we are on to certain destruction. The good news is… it’s as simple as “going within” where our alignment with the L U C (Loving Universal Consciousness) Guides us. How can we retrieve our essence like all of the rest of nature does? The method is to relearn how to listen to that inner loving Guidance and act with it.
The message is also about manifesting. This is our plane of demonstration. This is why we created it. We now are in bodies and we have this magnificent plane of demonstration, our playground, where we can make our own music and art. My dad used to say: “Music and art are the highest aspirations of mankind”. I loved him for that.
Two of the most beautiful truths in the world are Forgiveness and Patience. My dad used to always say “Patience and Fortitude.” Patience is one of the most beautiful words. I have two capital P words, one is Patience and one is Presence… two very important words. I have a lot of words I have capitalized in my book. The A word, Appreciation. Oh my God, Appreciation.
Dirk Terpstra: So, what is your take on this and the entire Okanagan Organic initiative? I would like to know more about this.
Stephen Cipes: The Okanagan Organic 2020 Vision (okanaganorganic.com) is a chance to establish a world model of harmony with nature by the whole valley becoming 100% organic by the year 2020. Here in the northernmost fruit-growing region in the world, we have the least number of pests and it is easy to grow without pesticides and herbicides. We built the Summerhill Pyramid Winery to be a model of man and nature but now almost 300 wineries followed and sadly, 99% are using chemicals. The time is ideal to demonstrate that abundance economically and ecologically is possible here using organic farming methods to maintain our pristine mountain, lake growing region for all time. We have thousands of signatures including the mayors and chiefs and a host of celebrities! I think, everyone is excited that we CAN co-create A DIAMOND ON OUR EMERALD PLANET!!!!!
When we inhibit our bodies with chemicals, by the way, cell phones and all wireless transmissions are perhaps one of the most serious forms of pollution, we are severely limiting our natural oneness and full connection with the silver cord.
These things add up to an unfortunate situation where there are few of us who are able to be in the ‘Vibration of Oneness’. It doesn’t mean that all of us can’t be there, but it does mean that we need to do our homework. My book is an ascension plan, a blueprint for rejuvenating our “Silver Cord” with Spirit. I’m now drafting a program of specific practices, which may help the millions of us who appreciate a step-by-step daily regime.
We want to grow our own gardens, we want to be more self-sufficient, we want to get away from dependence and from giving away our power, and we want to drink lots of fresh clean water. We surely want to return to an organic environment.
Speaking of water, we are thrilled to have just discovered 7 springs of the purest water coming up from the earth here on the Nature Reserve portion of the Summerhill eighty acres and we are hoping to get approval to bottle it soon and put it through the pyramid for clarification and vibrational enhancement. We are shooting the water through a vortex process, spinning it like the famous Hunza Water, which is attributed to hosting the longest living people on Earth.
Things like this and growing your own food are very important and also to eliminate as much as possible all animal proteins in our diet. The agony an animal goes through when they are slaughtered in front of their kindred children and how the adrenaline that they secrete goes through us and makes us uptight. Why would we do such a thing? And the poor chickens, the way that they are grown and everybody eats chickens like nothing…and fish that are grown in conditions from farms or from the ocean’s now with toxic rates of pollution. I could go on and on.
Dirk Terpstra: So now you have the beautiful winery, you have this spiritual place with the pyramid. Do you have larger dreams than what you have now?
Stephen Cipes: My aspirations are simple. I have the blessed experience of having a delightful 6-year-old daughter who helps keep me in my little boy-self, I fully appreciating her little girl self so it’s like being a child with her. It opens our creativity. We’re always in the moment and have that happy exuberance and love of life.
We have amongst us now in this pivotal era, the New Children or the Indigo Children. As many accomplishments as I have achieved in this lifetime, I feel I have neglected one of the most urgent, which is to be with children and to be a teacher of some sort with children. Even if I would just teach them singing or drawing, drumming or playing the piano or skipping rope. I don’t know. I don’t care what the subject is, just to be more with children is something I would love to do with my life right now.
Dirk Terpstra: Thank you so much and you have used the word Love several times. What does love mean to you, Stephen?
Stephen Cipes: Love means so much to me. Love is such a beautiful word. To me it is synonymous with God and with all there is. It is the essence of who we are. It is the vibration that we are. When we shed a tear, you feel the love…emotion brings us love. Emotion ties us into our souls and our souls are forever. And it is love that brings the emotion. It is love that we can take with us. That is how we are forever beings. We never die, our souls don’t die. Our bodies come and go, yes they do, but we are alive through love and through our forever souls. It is such a blessed thing to be alive in a body. We cherish every day in our body because it is the greatest privilege to have our bodies on this heavenly plane where we nourish and unfold our ever-evolving souls.
Dirk Terpstra: If there is anything we didn’t touch on that you would like to share before we close this conversation?
Stephen Cipes: Let’s appreciate the mothers and father very deeply. At the end of the Old Testament, in the last paragraph of the Old Testament, is the Prophet Malachi’s famous quote “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.” There is no separation. We are All One. We are all fathers; we are all mothers and we are all children. Let us come together now. Let us be that beautiful love that surrounds us always. I call it the L U C, Loving Universal Consciousness. Indeed, so be it.
