“There’s truths you have to grow into.”
― H.G. Wells
Breathe……
even thorns bloom…..
While addressing that which is going on within …..for that’s all that is truly going on….be mellow with that which you place focus on….be gentle dear traveler….when finding freedom from what could have been…
No words or movements needed or required……are ever hurried….
“Love is holy because it is like grace–the worthiness of its object is never really what matters.”
― Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
If I cried out, who would hear me up there, among the angelic orders? Rainer Maria Rilke
We reach for words to speak in a voice that is both intimate and majestic on the mysteries of human life and our attempt….. to translate the angels language…..
to use our self-consciousness to some advantage…. to transcend…. through our art and the imagination…. our self-deception and our fear.
There is no gentle here, but oh how it longs to be tender, and oh how it yearns to be soft.
“My library is an archive of longings.”
― Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh
“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
God fills our hearts and captures our minds with His Light..
Being conscious of the Self is a mind mending process….
The mind has a powerful way of attracting things that are in harmony with it…no matter at what elevation your mind wanders…
Remember..you are recovering from illusion…..
Fill the air with love and breathe deeply in….
Make a choice…change a future…..
“Seeking higher ground is not a destination, but an elevation. Wings up, eyes shut open.”
― T.F. Hodge, From Within I Rise
“None of us is promised an easy life. There is nothing we can do to keep ourselves immune to trials, and we cannot eradicate painful feelings in our lives.
But even the most difficult seasons are not absent of God’s love. And this love changes us. This is what I want to tell you: on the far side of pain we don’t prefer, we find transformation we wouldn’t trade.”
― Nicole Zasowski, From Lost to Found:
Seems we have always been next door to Heaven…..
Like a glimpse in the peripheral vision…..the feeling is ever so quick, yet runs so deep in the marrow… you feel the wind of its calling….its moment…and you touch that glimpse all day long and each time..the heart expands and the anticipation in the Spirit vibrates….
We watch as clouds shape shift and break out into beautiful colors of our imaginations…..
we squint to squeeze a bit more time into the sensation….
At that very moment…gateways are opening…bridges crossed, vanish…and the most splendid horrible relief comes over you….
Breathe deep dear travelers…we are stepping into a new life…and as that might sound so beautiful and full of anticipated happiness…
Realize……Remember…..
.…awakening was a horrible relief…and courage came….while we dared to bloom through it all….
All flowers, in time…bend toward the Sun…….
“It is said there are flowers that bloom only once in a hundred years. Why should there not be some that bloom once in a thousand, in ten thousand years? Perhaps we never know about them simply because this “once in a thousand years” has come today.”
― Zamyatin, We
“Let’s squeeze the cloud of thoughts and drink the water of wisdom to quench the thirst of enlightenment. Come, let’s meditate.”
― Sw. Chidananda Tirtha
One listens for echoes….while shedding skin …
the Light expands…
wings become luminous….
This unlearning…..creates a thirst..
What is forged into the memory…
tucks itself into the bone….
How much of ME…is my own…
“When there is thirst for hope, the light has no choice but to shine”
Angie Welland Crosby
“Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people’s opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions!”
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
Anger paralyzes the breath….it is a helpless energy…that reflects the absence of control
Breathe…deeply…..one breath at a time….see closely from a distance….
It is many timelines, many inheritances….we are able to shed…..as we observe that which comes to the surface of ourselves.
We begin perceiving the deeper nature of the Self…. as we stop identifying with the surface-level expressions of our emotions…
Emotions point you to the doorway of self-knowing… they are not a destination…but indeed….a current that takes us there…..
It is the Soul Doors, we are taken through…revealing the keys of the true nature and meaning…of this discovery…..of Self…..created…energy…..
“Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look at the stars. This practice should answer the question.”
― Lao Tzu
“When you reach the end of what you should know, you will be at the beginning of what you should sense.”
― Kahlil Gibrán, Sand and Foam
Knee deep in awakening to reality …..Spirit needs no path….for Spirit has all the directions needed for this journey
It is the human traveler…. that must accept the continued journey ….in the pathless way……
This is where our sense of direction…..is tested….our inner senses….
Spirit Senses…..
elevate….
In this space…..is a garden….
The End from the Beginning…is planted here….
The way you leave something …..is the way you enter what’s next….
“I’ve begun to realize that behind every story there is a gap that nourishes wisdom with great strength. And people misunderstand it as the end.”
― Efrat Cybulkiewicz
“I can’t explain it. It’s what turns you to powder, being ground between what you can’t do and what you must do. You just turn to dust.”
― James Salter, Light Years
A handful of dust…..from the line drawn in the sand….
is thrown into the grave…
we then…
walk away…
One need not stand on that line…..to know it was drawn..
It is felt into the eternal rhythm of Soul…
Beyond that line in the sand..is a passage..
As one comes into an ending..there is…many times…..
a great pause….a deep breath…..
where time feels empty….and turns to dust….as we let go of needing a new beginning…
we learn deeply here…the art in being restored….
“There is no easy way from the earth to the stars”
― Seneca
“Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.”
― Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts
Daily, a new door appears…like a domino effect….a new landscape enters the field of vision, and the doorway appears….
We are practicing the experience of the unknowing and by the days gloaming..we lay the day to rest….carry nothing into our slumber…
The dark night of the soul is that which is on display…
Pioneers of this ascension age….recognize the frequencies
Prayer keeps one steady…and elevates Conscious Christed Codes…..
This is for God to work out…
We are serving best…by remaining in our Highest signature…strengthening our Light
No attachment to judgements or fear..
Nothing will ever be the same…..
But we did not want “the same”
Did we not pray for the new way to be born?
It too…is a horrible relief..this transformation….. that we are accepting..as the World…turns…and we face the far side of the moon…..
“Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself
“Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.”
― David Foster Wallace
Insight …..locating that which we already are..what already is…
It is not an opinion…nor a belief…its part of the inner senses of Soul….
Recognizing such, ones focus shifts..to BEING…
No matter what is going on in an outer world stage…the insight will show you what you are willing to experience…
We master our stillness and silence…to strengthen ourselves to this insight….to be attuned to our energy output….to observe our creations….and BE that…until it no longer feeds the Soul….and in this practice….we locate our true nature….we become sensitive to the energy we emit….and attract…we witness the realm we have chosen to wander in….we recognize the sound of our desire….
Each one of us, are shaped by the truth of our natures…..
“As we walk down the steps to the unchartered rims of our life, we may become aware of unsuspected beacons we have ignored thus far, discover unsolved enigmas of our identity and so get insight into the undisclosed intricacies of our shared environment. ( “Only silence remained” )”
― Erik Pevernagie
