Pinnacle of the Path

From the sacred space of the mountain top one becomes a scout. He can see enemy territory and detect if perceived threats are illusions created by the fog surrounding his own heart or if the dangers is real. He can see clearly over mountain and valley. He knows where the streams run, forest thrives, and glades of potential rest exist. He sees rocky paths, mountain passes, and clear trails. He determines the best routes to supply his needs. He knows his inner terrain as no other. These are the sacred grounds of his soul. He knows the destination and the route he need to take. He need not depend upon an outside scout to lead him. His heart is connected to the earth; to the trees, the ground, the rocks, the streams. The sun guides by day and the moon by night. He and Earth are one, and they walk together. He has complete faith in this process. From where he stands he sees where he is, the way he is to travel, and his destination point. He trusts Spirit to provide his needs along his journey. His body tells him when to walk and when to rest. He obeys the needs of his physical self and those of his spiritual self. They, too, walk in unison.

The Sun Within

When man turns back to himself-to his own star system within and focuses on his sun, restoration occurs within himself. When the multitudes do this, restoration occurs externally on a larger scale. When one walks along the shoreline and watches the sun set or rise, he reaches out. Though he cannot physically touch it, he takes that sensation, the beauty and energy, into himself. Those who may not be engaged in that inner process will be affected by those who are and be led to his sun. There will be some unaffected or who choose not to engage within. They are not to be judged. For this occurrence to them will come in their own timing. One is only accountable to himself. He has no responsibility to the response of others. He need only know his own light and allow it to shine where it may. As he lights his own path through the darkness, it’s as if man creates the day. Things not before obvious become visible as shadows are removed and things are seen for what they are. Many will begin to awaken upon their own internal quest. When we say you are here to help your brother see the truth, we mean by finding your own in turn helps him find his. For when we are truth seekers, we become light bearers. We are ignited by the flame within. We begin to see clearly and those among divergent paths also catch glimpses of this light, sparks to ignite their own flame. The path does not end when one ignites his flames…for when he begins to see, the path opens to many more. All lead home, but the path one chooses, if he chooses with his heart, is the most rewarding. As there are thorns along the stem to reach the rose, such is this path. These pricks are pivotal stopping points of great growth/learning in which one often realizes only in retrospect. If one regards each of these points as a bud, when he reaches that rose he will realize he has an entire field of lovely, fragrant wildflowers as well. As a flower is beautiful to the eye and fragrant to the nose and enjoyed in many ways by the senses, as is such as the journey of light which is the internal version of the external journey of life.

Lighting the Way

There are many ways in which one can be or is a beacon. Often it is simply the light they exude/the energy they carry which lights the way for others. Circumstances and events build to a crisis where needs are overshadowed or overlooked, resulting in an imbalance of systems. It leaves some with a sense of hopelessness in correcting a vast shift of energies. Their pleas reverberate through the universe. Many hear. Some react. Others ignore. Many feel they don’t have a voice, their needs remain unheard. Do you know what it feels like to be ignored, to lose your voice yet the desire for harmony continues to stir within? Harmony is a united front as one energetic system feeds into another. While the left hand may not know what the right hand is doing, there is a center point which does. This is the heart, the still point. It is love which creates change, builds better worlds. This is not only the call of who are referred to as the indigenous people but of the mother herself. We are Earth and she is us in her myriad of physical forms. Many activists pick subjects or elements of this unbalance-a focus on the people of various cultures, the needs and care of animals, water or air pollution, trees, rainforests, what some refer to as global warming etc. They pick a topic without addressing the issue which is imbalance. While yes, there exists an imbalance in each of these areas. What is the root of each? One could say man. So, if it started with man, how can man restore nature? Of course, one wants to save rainforests, create nature reserves etc. All this is well and good in its own way however it isn’t a long term solution of restoring balance. The restoration of balance begins in the heart of each human. Until each human lets go of ego and learns to live through his heart center, imbalance will remain. Within and without, one must create harmony within his own being to co-create a better world. The answer to the problems of nature rests within the nature of each man. Who is willing to clear his inner landscape and plant seeds to feed the future?

Exploring the Heart

Every day is a new beginning, an opportunity to make a dream come true. Whether it is the first step, the final piece, or somewhere in between, the gift of breath provides a bridge form one place to the next. It’s easy to be complacent. It takes courage to walk the path unknown. Whether the adventure is internal or external, exploration awaits. One will never know the outcome if one refuses the start. The greatest gifts are on the path between start and finish. If one lets go of expectations of the current and steps into the flow he will find his pace. Perhaps he will swim. Perhaps he will float. The pace is up to him. One can reach the same point both ways. True, one doesn’t sink or drown if he refuses to enter the water. But if he doesn’t enter, he doesn’t experience the joy of adventure offered nor does he benefits the rewards along the way or at its completion. Without courage, one will never become what he could have been. A cloudy day can be just what is needed, but when the sun chooses to be seen all seems to take in a renewed energy. One has the power to take wandering and wondering to new levels. One only needs to wander into the wonder by initiating the first step of a goal.

The Circle

In the beginning there was love. The act of creation was an act of love, so this very essence of love was expressed in every creation as was its foundation. The same applies now for all that is created from the heart. That which is created from ego is not of lasting value and will eventually crumble, wither away. The breath of life is a creation of love, thus why it is eternal. Man argues it is mortal. They fail to acknowledge the circle of life which is such as physical incarnations. Those of awareness know this and connect the breath as that of Source, knowing it to be eternal in the heavens and sent to earth in various expressions to experience knowledge in many ways and forms. The connection of man in his physical embodiment to that of his spiritual nature is his sole purpose. Though he plays many roles and has many jobs and talents throughout his incarnations, his purpose remains the same. It is through the accumulation of these experiences he gains the wisdom of his true essence. Genius. Mastery. Attunement. Awareness. Ascension. Transformation. Completion. The word which is used for that of a human uniting with his spirit is of no matter. Remember who you are. Use your gifts. Be the shining sun you are. The path is lit before you. Your own heart is shining the way. Use your light to ignite the flame in others. Help them find the way out of the darkness as you have. They will use their flame as you did to search within. May your love and peace spill upon others and encourage their pursuit.

The Gem Within

It is easy to get caught up in human dogma. One such is the meaning of words/terms. The translation or interpretation can entirely change the meaning of an idea. Words carry power as humans attach intention behind the selection. If one listens to this usage through his heart center, it is seen without emotion. One may analyze the content in his head but must weigh it in his heart for clarity. Humans often misconstrue meanings because they allow their emotions to lead the way. When one analyzes why he feels a certain way, he allows himself to see past emotion and to its intent or purpose. Therefore, he gets to the root of the situation. By exploring emotions, one enables himself to remove old patterns, belief systems, and things no longer needed. He frees himself to move on. Inner exploration is crucial to inner growth/maturity/wisdom. Outside sources might encourage inner exploration, but these sources, in and of their own, will not do the work. One must do this work on his own. Within is where one’s treasure is buried. For the jewel hidden within is his Divine Essence. This is the treasure one must seek. This is truth. This is love. This is you.

We are Love

We – you – are people of Earth. We feel her pain. We feel her joy. We are her heartbeat. We are the wind, her breath. She lives through each of us, and each of us through her. We are the flow of the river, above and beneath the ground; the eternal spring of living water. We are the roots of the trees which ground us in place and wings of the birds which grant us freedom. We are the beauty of every bloom. See, we are the blood, the breath, and the beauty. We are the physical forces of nature in its rawest power. We are her. She is us. We are one. Remember this. Feel her heart beat in your chest. Feel her blood flow through your veins. Feel her roots pull you. Feel her wings give you flight. Feel her. Remember her. Remember who you are. You contain the force of a storm and the gentleness of a pond. You know how and when to use each one. The choice is yours. While there is a time for all things, all these things must spring from love. For love is the beginning, the now, and the future. For the mother (Earth) is love. She nurtures from such as well as disciplines. She is love in its original state. She is the basis of this world. Humans distorted her purpose. Remember her love. Remember her purpose. For her love and her purpose is yours. For you are her, and you are us…we are one. We are love.

The Dance of Energy

As one delves into the dance, he must keep his step. The secret is the body must listen to the music and respond accordingly. He must sync his energy with his partner. If the particular dance is a waltz, it will be smooth and fluid. It’s ok for one to study the steps, so to speak, but he must continue to hear the music to stay in tune. Every relationship involves entaglement. Every action and reaction is entanglement. The dance is entanglement. Entangelment is energy. And energy is life. The soul and essence are interwoven like purpose and mission. Your essence is your purpose or being. The soul is your mission, the vehicle to carry out these means. Whoever/whatever touches your life is part of this entanglement. What type of dance does your life resemble? Are you in step with the tune?

A Few Words about Art

Art is a necessary expression of both life and love. It is the exploration of one or many mediums on a personal level which affects multitudes of layers – a unique expression of the whole. And yet, that expression/essence is ever evolving. Change is inevitable, a necessity for growth. Simply put, art is the process of which one takes what is within and projects it to the outside world. Art, in whatever form, is a release for human emotion, a creative journal of sorts. Art can be a means for a voice otherwise hidden. It is a healing endeavor for the creator of such works, be it a poem, painting, book, photograph, sculpture, musical piece, and so on. It is Spirit/energy traveling from heart to hands. Creativity is the right of the human. We are each a creator, envisioning our world.  Art is a sacred surrender to the creative urges of one’s soul.

The Beauty of You

Stay true to your path; acknowledge the needs of your soul. Spirit will lead you where you need to be. Jump in the river, so to speak – you have the strength to swim the current. No need to fight against it. It will guide you to the exact place you need to be. The river is within you. It is not an outside force. It is a single stream which runs through your soul. This is your true knowing within. This river is home; all your spirit needs is sourced from this bed of living water. Drink. Bathe. Know you are one with it. Trust, this is your true essence. No outside influence can equip you to better know yourself. No matter what they think they know, they know not YOUR bigger picture. This image is a tiny seed within. You are unfurling one petal at a time, and will fully bloom in your own timing. This way is specifically designed for you, not dictated by others. There is no need to explain your path to anyone. Keep swimming; it’s more difficult to tread water than swim with the current. You are not only the swimmer; you are the river. The current is your power. Both the water lily and the lotus move with the water. The lily leaves lie flat with the surface while the lotus rises above the level. Both bloom. Their leaves and flowers distinctly differ, yet they symbolize all that is true. They are nurtured by the water and nurture the water in return. Know you are worthy. Know you are loved beyond measure. Stay true to your essence.
