” Your peace and happiness comes from inside of you and then that is what is reflected on the outside, when you hold your own inner state of being and no longer allow it to be affected by anyone or anything outside of you.

Wanting others to be happy is you still thinking you have any control over what they are choosing.

You are only ever in control of your own inner environment.

The sooner you come into a state of acceptance of what others are choosing and do not allow whatever they are choosing to affect your choice of peace on the inside…the sooner you set yourself free.
You are already joy on the inside. Already fun🌻

All you need to do is remove the blocks to your joy.
This is not other people or circumstances of your life.
Its usually the way you ” think” about your life.

Your mind is the one that complicates what is simple.
Being joyful and having fun does not require a certain set of circumstances or people in place. It requires you to remove the internal blocks you have developed to being joy and fun. It requires you to CHOOSE JOY DAILY.

That is why, you will find that true fun , true joy are something you can find in sipping a cup of hot coffee or just merely sleeping in a comfortable bed, or seeing people around you.

Its not to do with ANYTHING or anyone outside of you.

It is a state within.”

You cannot fight what is hidden
Nor heal wounds you don’t acknowledge….

Nor transcend the pain which hurts your being
That comes in waves from places unseen ….

You can only love it all
and coax it into the light
The light that shines so brilliantly that nothing can ever hide

The light that heals parts of you….
you never knew were broken
The light that floods your very being
And fills you with peace unspoken.

You only need to stop and pray
And then….
The Light of Love illuminates the way …..

As I go through this journey called life, the “me” that I thought was “me” dies bit by bit every day.

In fact there is the glimmer of an understanding that this is what was meant to happen all along.
If the “me” that I thought was ” me ” had known this was inevitable, Im not sure that this ” me ” would have come in so willingly.

When I was younger, my mom would take me for movies without telling me that the main characters died in the end because she knew I would not go to see the movie if she told me.

My heart could not take the heartbreak of what was ‘ lost forever ‘

The beauty in ” my ” dying, bit by bit, is that, as the ” me” that I thought was” me” dies….it no longer feels as tragic.

There is a gradual acceptance and even mild curiosity at the prospect of allowing this death….to see what then remains or emerges.

There is something to be said for disillusionment.
It merely means, not buying into an illusion anymore.

Of perceiving something, as it really is, and not how your illusion caused you to see it.

Disillusionment is often associated with pain, hurt and disappointment.

However, this same disillusionment has the potential to bring you closer to clarity.

Clarity that is like a bright light shining on the path ahead of you.

Clarity that makes decisions so much easier. Clarity that helps you stay centred and grounded.

The way I perceive it, a hut built on solid ground is way better than a palace in a mirage.

I notice that when I look at things usually, I don’t really LOOK at them.

I almost assume they are there.

It is because, in my past experience, I have known them to be there.

My mind uses these things as hooks and triggers to generate stories which have very little to do with what I actually SEE in the moment. These stories have very little coherence and my mind jumps from one thing to another creating chaos and distractions.

My mind, when focussed on observing something (because it has been tasked to do so) has the ability to zone out everything else and therefore can be trained to focus and not be chaotic.

My mind creates the stories around people, places, things that I observe.
Most stories are created because of the past beliefs I have around these which in turn have either come from what I have experienced or have learnt from others experiences.
These beliefs act as hooks to past experiences or past” knowings”, which  then act as triggers and taint new and fresh experiences with old ideas and experiences, not allowing me to experience them as if Im doing so for the first time, which makes me (over time) lose my sense of wonder, enthusiasm and joy.

What if I started to look at people, places and things as if I was looking at them for the very first time.
Would that not enhance all of my senses ? Would that not make everything novel and exciting ?

My mind is what eventually makes me jaded, cynical or bitter.
My heart in turn is affected by my minds chatter. My mind taints the beauty of my soul if I allow it to and eventually shuts me down.
However if my heart remains in charge and becomes stronger in its influence over me than my mind, its beautiful acceptance, faith, joy, stillness and love eventually soothes the mind and I remain ALIVE AND ALIGHT.

Dissolve into life until there is no more a
” you” that is separate from it.
Until YOU become life itself….
Like sugar stirred into hot tea.
All you can taste is the sweetness…you cannot separate the sugar from the water or tea leaves.

All is One.

We stand out, looking in, trying to understand ourselves so that we can control our lives and can go in a ‘desired’ direction.

We can never truly understand life by being outside of it, being separate from it.

Dissolving, surrendering is the final step…that final death of the ego.

It usually happens when we leave our physical bodies and go back to spirit. However, it is possible for us even whilst we are still in our physical forms.

We can start by choosing to let go of that which we have carefully nurtured and fiercely protected – our individual identities.

We can choose this,little by little, in baby steps, by not being so strong in our likes and dislikes, and thereafter by training ourselves to become mere observers of the one that ” likes ” and “dislikes”.

After that, we can choose to disengage gently but firmly with the illusion of the ” desirable” and “undesirable”.

We surrender, we merge, we fuse with all that is.
With grace, with love, with joy.

Selflessness in its purest form.

Being nothing ….but becoming everything.

To be on the spiritual quest, merely means that you go towards seeing the Light….the truth more and more clearly.

The truth is, that you are wired to seek a feeling of well being and joy.
Your mind makes you believe that this joy and feeling of well being is based on external factors. You then seek to control, manipulate or influence these external factors.

But the truth is your mind will never ever reach a place of satisfaction or completion.

The truth is, that by listening to your mind and buying into its projections, you are on a journey that takes you nowhere.
Like a hamster on a wheel.

Sometimes happy and sometimes miserable but getting nowhere close to real permanent “well beingness”, because your well being is dependent on everything outside of you !

The truth is that you are not your mind but the consciousness observing the mind.

The truth is that EVERYTHING outside of you will ALWAYS be a variable that you have NO true control over.

The truth is that you have a choice.

The choice to center yourself in your consciousness and remain unperturbed by all that is external.

That is the truth.

That is finally seeing what has been true all along.

If you feel like your inner journey is so fascinating that your external environment irritates you, and you just want to be ‘ left alone’ to focus inwards….then its time to come back into balance.
The whole point of your inner work is to come to a state of balance and equanimity.

To be able to come to this state of complete peace and stillness inside of  you, which is then effortlessly reflected in your being.

.

Feeling a sense of urgency is a clear indication that your ego has taken over, because ……
Your spirit operates outside the confines of time and is therefore, never in a hurry.

From my spirit self

” You are so loved, so supported, so kindly looked upon, so cherished.

You continue to do what gives you joy and utmost satisfaction and enables you to be free.

Freedom is essential for your joy.

Feeling free is an important value for everyone.

Be considerate of your freedom and you will automatically be considerate of the freedom of others.

In baby indiscernible steps, withdraw control and energy from anything that does not align to freedom- yours and that of those in your life.

Me – ” Isn’t everyone responsible for their own paths ? “

SS- Yes they are but you play a role in their lives and karmic entanglements occur when your ‘ beingness’ intrudes upon their lives and influences their decisions.

Me – So am I supposed to be a non entity ?

Ss- No just be Love.
Love does not bind.
Love frees.
Love believes
Love holds but does not hold on.
Love breathes freely and allows breath in all.
The divine breath.
Breath connects us all.
Isn’t that enough?
The emerging and merging back into source and sharing the breath.

What you want should be extended out first.
That is how it works in your world.
If you want love, open your heart and give it first.
If you want meaningful connections, be authentic and be prepared for it to be meaningful and not just on the surface.

Glow with your own unique light and encourage others to glow in their unique Light. Whilst you are responsible for your light, you can celebrate and encourage the lights in others.

Use Reflection and introspection.

Set doubt aside.

If you feel happy, peaceful and do not need validation you are on the right path

Wear your ” God Spectacles ” and ” find” me everywhere. In everyone and in everything.
If there is only one thing you do, it is to look at everyone with ‘God Eyes”

There is a deep knowing of what feels right and what does not, however no sense of ” righteousness ” prevails, as we go along , learning and growing.
Just an understanding of what we shall or shall not want in our experience.
No desire to explain.
No way to explain.
And oh, the compassion !
The Love !
As Righteousness disappears, it makes space for Love
So much Love !
Not any of the kinds we felt before
A deep pervasive Love.
No agenda’s
No bias
Just there
Filling up the dark spaces
Healing
Lighting us up from within
