We are all on a journey to connect and unify with Source, All That Is/ the Divine. What we discover as we progress, however,  is that there is no real separation between our self and the Divine. We realize that our experience in this plane of existence as a separate individual has been an illusion, a dream.  We come to understand and know that we are All That Is, but are simultaneously  experiencing a collective dream with other divine fragments  in which we  are also separate ”selves.”  What provides us with opportunities to awaken from this collective dream so that we may experience  and express our Divine Self, are trials and difficulties.  These periods of difficulty can initiate us into a higher level of wisdom, strength, joy, freedom and power if we see them for the amazing opportunities they are and make the  changes we need to in order to reach this level. 

 One of our most challenging initiations is when we find we are suddenly being pushed to let go of our birth family or major support group. This happens when we find our self at odds with the accepted ideas, beliefs, ways of thinking, acting and behaving in our main support group. When this happens, don’t waste your energy trying to make the other people in your group change, concentrate on the fact that you have changed and are now ready to experience your life and relationships at a higher vibrational frequency, meaning, you want to experience a greater level of  honesty, joy, freedom, independence, peace, love, fun, harmony,  and/or equality,   Read the rest of this entry »

Let the Journey be the Destination. By Guy Finley.

A Great Truth about Setting Yourself Free - It is in our wanting “more” than the moment gives us to be that we not only sow the seeds of our own discontent but, for this same self-inflicted darkness, find ourselves blinded to a great truth that can help set us free: everything we need to succeed at being all that the Divine would have us be is already a presence in our soul.

Letting Go into the Flow of Real Life - Occasionally, for all of us, we accidentally enter into the Now. We could be skiing, skating, doing yoga, playing golf, and suddenly we are in something that our activity aligns us with… we are in the flow of that moment. We can even be in the flow of a conversation, and in that moment we are aware of something sustaining us. Physically we enter into the Now because that flow is part of the Now. Emotionally we can enter accidentally into the Now when we look out and see the sun breaking through the clouds or we catch the evening light as it shades trees differently. Intellectually, from time to time, we enter into the Now when we have an insight and an epiphany comes. We’re walking along, and suddenly we have the feeling of understanding that came to us because at that moment everything integrated. Read the rest of this entry »

” We are dragged along by fate to that which we refuse to walk toward upright.”  Carl G. Jung.

I love this quote because I have found it to be so accurate: Spirit does indeed set up various situations and dramas  which challenge and stretch us  to become more than we believe ourselves to be.  In  other words, situations which force us, or require us, to expand beyond the limits of who we believe ourselves to be.   Before we are “dragged” into these situations  by fate, ( or Spirit, or our Soul)  however, we usually receive an invitation, a call, if you like, to step willingly outside of our comfort zone, into the new arena/environment. This call heralds the fact that Spirit  intends to provide us with the opportunity to bring about a further  psychological transformation,  or expansion of identity, within us.

 The Rule of the Ego.

When we attempt to control anyone or anything it’s because we ourselves are under the control of our ego, which is very dominating and controlling. Our ego is that part of our conscious mind ( that voice that’s always chattering in our head ) that’s always comparing, judging, and commenting on everything, as well as always telling us what we should and need to be doing if we want to  survive, be safe, successful,  admired, happy, loved, secure etc. etc. etc.

Basically, our ego controls and dominates our lower self, which is comprised of our physical body, our emotional body, or aura, and our lower,  mental body, or aura.  Spirit, that aspect of our being that is still connected to the Divine, or All-That-Is,  resides on the causal, or fifth astral plane. Spirit  has control over our higher, mental aura, which exists on the fourth astral plane. Our lower, mental “body,”  or aura,  exists on the third astral plane,  while our emotional”body” exists on the second plane. Naturally, of course, our physical body exists on the physical, material,  plane.

At  a certain stage in our journey to enlightenment,  or on our journey to live as our true, authentic self, we need to free ourselves from the rulership of our tyrannical ego. When we achieve this, all parts and aspects of ourselves, both physical and non-physical, are then  able to come under the leadership of spirit and we begin to manifest and live as our soul, our  higher self.
