Our beautiful, Tibetan Spaniel, Ruby, had to be “put to sleep,” on Monday. I am heartbroken. We loved her from the moment we set eyes on her when she was four months old, and we grew to love her more and more during the fifteen years that we were blessed with her presence and devotion. We will always love her. Now, there is an emptiness that is Ruby-shaped that moves through the house and the garden. Now, there is a Ruby-shaped hole in my heart.
God Bless you, Ruby. Thank-you, thank-you, for being the most wonderful pet anyone could ever wish for. I have charged the angels with the task of loving you until we may be together again.
Beloved Ruby. 1993 - 2008
The latest wave of New Energy has reminded me that over the last year there has been a second wave of Starseeds waking up, as well as a fresh wave of emerging Light-workers. Since it can take a while for a Starseed to fully awaken and realize who and what they are, I’ve been guided to devote more space on my blog to writing about my spiritual journey and experiences, which may be of service in some way. Sometimes, I have found that people can have important spiritual experiences or events happen to them and yet not be completely aware of their full significance, or even that something significant has occurred!
I was reminded of this the other day when I was having lunch with L- a friend of mine who was a longtime member of my spiritual workshops, which I closed down in February 2007. I was aware that L- was undergoing an important spiritual awakening in which the ruler-ship and control of the ego over her lower three “bodies” ( the physical body, emotional aura or “body, “and the lower mental aura, or “body”) was coming to an end, and her Spirit-Self (Higher-Self), which resides on the fifth, causal plane, would assume control. This means that Spirit can guide us, help us and intervene in our life much more easily. It also means we become a more perfect instrument for Spirit to work through, so obviously, it’s a very important stage in our spiritual journey.
Throwing off the Control of the Ego.
At some stage in our journey to enlightenment, before we can receive enlightenment* we usually need to undergo a major initiation in which our lower-self personality, passes from being under the control of our ego (the mind-made identity we believe ourselves to be ) and willingly comes under the guidance and leadership of Spirit. This initiation is composed of a series of difficult and painful events which are best described by using the metaphor of Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection. It is, quite simply, a test of our spiritual Mastery, and it only presents itself when we are ready.
When we have emerged from this cycle of events our lower-self personality has been purified of the lower instincts, impulses, desires and emotions, which until this point in our life, have ruled and driven our actions and behaviour. Once we are free of the misleading influence of our mind-created ego, we are transformed, re-born, as it were, into a freer, more conscious, joyful, creative and powerful version of our former self. We understand our part in the Divine Plan and are in full possession of the skills, abilities and strengths we need to carry it out successfully.
So, the series of events that make up our personal Crucifixion, Death and Resurrection, are challenges, trials and tests which provide our personality with perfect opportunities to become free of our baser, lower aspects and weaknesses. At the same time, these events also enable us to conquer and master our insistence on asserting our individual will. Instead of following our own personal will, we learn the wisdom of choosing to submit consciously to the Higher, Divine Will and so allowing ourselves to come under the leadership and guidance of Spirit, rather than the dominance and control of the ego.
