THE JOURNEY BACK

All of the things, that happen TO us and AROUND us , are a call to come into balance …to keep coming into balance.
Everything that happens to us and around us, causes emotions and feelings within us , which give us clues and hints, as to what our divine source ‘s intention was, to start with.
This whole life’s purpose, is to come back into alignment with the divine source of creation from where we originated and deviated.
To see and feel the intention of creation from the same point of view as the creator.
Like an artist who shows his work…

The deep desire of an observer, to see and understand the creation ( painting ) would cause the observer to try and get into the head of the painter, in order to understand the intention and thought behind the painting.What was the thought behind the creation ?
The more we desire, as human beings, to understand the purpose of creation….the more we look at, not only what happens to us at the surface…but deeply within…to try and understand the intention behind…and with each little understanding , we come more and more into balance or alignment and move closer and closer to who we were meant to be.
All of this ( good and bad ) was created FOR us to do that. The day we get that , we stop classifying anything that occurs as good or bad , and simply view it as an opportunity to understand further, come into balance and come more into alignment with the creator or Divine source. The ultimate destination is achieving the complete unity from whence we originated. ALL of us, are on this path home. All of us will get there , sooner or later. It is a given.

BE UNIQUELY YOU !

You do not owe it to anybody to go in the general direction that everybody goes in …you were not created to do that. You do not owe it to anybody to tell the stories that are ‘ age appropriate’, ‘society approved ‘ , or in any way conventional.

Tell the stories that make you happy. Those that uplift you.
You ALSO, do not owe it to ANYBODY , to listen to their stories if they do not uplift or inspire you.


It is entirely their choice what they choose to focus on and give energy to, and the stories they want to tell.
And it is yours to walk away when they do ❤

JUST BE

There is a difference between doing and being (your divinity). Doing focusses so much on the action that the essence of it sometimes can be lost in the actions.
Being is effortless …it is merely being mindful of what you have learnt or remembered about who you really are and then proceeding with your day and night…in fact all of your moments. Little by little. Moment by moment.


Doing is more at the beginning when you feel the need for action in order to break old barriers and habits and belief systems. It still comes from a vague feeling of fear. Of validating or requiring validation. ‘Being’ sets you free. There is no validation needed at all and one is free to just be.

Contrary to the discipline of ‘doing’ and feeling the shortage of time, now one begins to feel free of the constraints of time. One moment merges into the next with ease and wonder and makes one rejoice in the freedom and perfection of it all. ‘Being’ is the way . ‘Doing’ is a temptation that comes from time to time and is not necessarily bad. Sometimes it is even necessary to tame ones runaway mind. But settling into the ‘being’ is a comfortable feeling.

Nothing to prove ,nothing to validate.

Just living, breathing and being ….the most powerful expression of your divinity and that is what makes the most difference vibrationally.

“Doing” has a different vibration and” being” a different one.”

Being” effortlessly translates into uplifting others as well through not only your own vibrations but also through inspiratiom and in evoking memories in other souls, as to their own true nature.

TRUE TEACHER

Dear Teacher,
In your great wisdom, you did not teach me all there is to know.

You knew I was not ready. You also knew that I would get there in my own time and in my own unique way.

That ‘your way ‘ , was not necessarily mine. You knew that I would be impatient and upset at times, that you would not make it easier for me by just telling me what I needed to know.

I expected at times , for you to hold my hand and gently lead the way so I could get there with your knowledge and experience. But you knew better , and merely pointed me in the general direction and let me stumble and fall and find how to pick myself up and walk again.
The road feels hard at times but mostly , oh so satisfying.

Because you allowed me to do it myself.

To find my own unique way to our common destination ❤

MEHR ( LOVE)

I was born to love. I was born to give that love unconditionally. I was also born to receive that love unconditionally.
I started out by giving and receiving it fully…but as I grew, I also started noticing, how sometimes, the love given to me came with certain ,very subtle conditions.
As an adult, I realise , that that was me confusing love with approval or acceptance. True love …in all of its forms , is unconditional. It does not diminish with time , is not affected by moods, and definitely has no conditions attached to it. I came to associate ‘ love ‘ with hurt , with let downs, with pain.
I put up guards around my heart and became very ,very careful with who I allowed in and more importantly, who I gave my love to ,without worrying about how they could use it to hurt me. That was( ironically) me, putting so many conditions to that very love that I was born to give and receive freely.

As I grew in awareness, I slowly and painfully understood the difference between my limited , fearful concept of love and the real magnificient , unbridled , huge and humbling power that is the real deal.

I often wondered ,why it was so much easier for me to express my love and appreciation for people I barely knew than for those that were closest to me. Perhaps the closer you are , the more the expectations …the more the conditions.

In my journey to my centre, to my authentic self…I have slowly shed my expectations and my conditions.
I started loving me ,without needing anything to be changed, to be improved upon.
I started wholeheartedly loving me.

And then the miracle happened.

I was free now, to love others and be who I was born to be.
That light of love, shining in someone elses dark hour…carrying them through and then quietly slipping away as they learnt to find their own light of love within them.
Knowing that their lights had shone upon me too , with no conditions attached. That inadvertently , I was receiving as much love as I was giving away so freely …that beautiful love with no conditions attached 💕

EVOLUTION

There is a separation happening …she feels it deep within , without wanting it, without even wanting to acknowledge it is. The separation of who she was, and the who, that is.
The one that was ….. that was dads little girl , lapping up all his wisdom with wide eyes , the one that was eager to please her family and friends, the one that cared what they felt ….much more than what she felt. The one who always wanted to do what was right by everyone and maybe not taking into account so much, as to what was right by her. The one that knew how to diffuse an explosive situation, and did so without any unnecessary delays. The one that wanted to be the right kind of daughter , sister, wife, mother, student and friend.
She is barely recognisable now. She is like a dream that was.
There is no longer that pressing need to please, to uphold people’s illusions…..much less her own.
The clarity with which she sees things , albeit unwittingly , is a clarity she no longer wishes away, even if that were a possibility. The detachment where there was too much attachment earlier , is uncomfortable but not something she is pushing away. There is , almost a lethargic acceptance ….a heaviness and lightness of her limbs…her heart.

She is there …and yet …..not quite.

INFINITE

Why put a finite number on the beings that you can shine your light of love upon ?

As if you , an unlimited child of an unlimited being…was meant to be finite in any possible way ? The perception of being limited kept you limited.

Now that you are no longer fooled by that misperception , why do you still confine yourself ??

EROSION

There is so much about the relationship, that she is afraid to talk about. What started so cohesive, with them on the same page…is now, no longer so.
She has picked up an entirely different book , after ages of deliberately trying to slow down and stay on the same page as him.
That call from within, is insistent, incessant and so difficult to ignore.

Its not just her.
She is realising slowly, that the effort she was making to slow down , was way more effort than he was making to keep up. He was not really interested in the book …just interested in keeping her by his side…turning the pages for him.

Her hold is slipping and its as if the strong breeze is just waiting to whip her away …far, far , far away……
