One has seen better days
Yet still smiling ‘cuz
Many more are to come
In hours of fallow haze,
Releasing what one was
As the work has just begun
Mingling among inner ways
As a loner often does
Seeking what he will become
Snapshots caught within a daze
Simply flicker, as it was,
For the days are not done
Hearts now lit ablaze
As is what Spirit does
For the All is in One
One will see better days
And continue smiling ‘cuz
All return to which he’s from
*Channeled Message: “While a warrior knows how to wield his weapon, he doesn’t wish to use it on his enemy for he knows his heart is the way to peace. This one thing breaks barriers, opens communication, and solves problems. It is not necessarily the asking of what one wants but the offering of what one has. Sharing and communication is communion. A peaceful warrior unites, for this is his gift. Not only his gift, but his motive. When people pull together the impossible comes to life. The biggest dream begins with one small act – the stroke of a pen, a word from the mouth, a handshake, a hug. Start today. The wait is over. Every day is the start of something new. Begin where you are. See what is possible. Dreams are always in the making. Good seeds produce a healthy harvest if the crop is tended. Joy in the experience is important. Approach with wonder for the work can be pleasurable if one focuses on the path rather than the destination. What one puts in something is felt in the result. Heart and soul equal wisdom. Do what you enjoy, no stress. Allow vulnerability in your work, for the authenticity is an invitation to commune. This act builds community. Building is creative work which doesn’t only require energy and sweat; it requires heart and soul.”
*Channeled Message “One need not separate from his or her tribe to be independant. One need only be his/her authentic self. For love respects our differences as well as our similaritities. Pour your essence into every relationship. You need not be who others want or expect you to be. Be who you are in the service of love. Be YOU. This IS your job, to claim that which speaks within you and express it through your body, through words, actions, movement, art-however it wishes to speak through you; from Spirit to matter. Fear not who you are as this is your Spirit grounding/merging with Earth. This is your purpose. It need not be your vocation, yet its individual style will work its way into your every day. For this is what is called the way. The ‘way’ is not a group activity. It is a personal quest, your way to Source. It is your Sacred connection. This is WHO you are! Your indiviuality, your authenticity…this is Your truth, Your power. For it is in the service of Higher Love we find our true selves. It is the very Sacredness of you that rises from deep within, grasping for the light. For it IS the Light, rising forth to merge and shine brightly!”
Channeled “The ways of the world are not the ways of the soul, for the heart directs the soul. When one drops his burdens his wings unfold. This begins his flight of purpose.”
This was a very short message I received but right on target. When one carries too much he cannot fly. I’ve found this to be true many times in various areas of my life. I had to learn to let go of what did not belong to me. It was only then I began to hear my soul speak, and my feet were place upon the path of my heart. How about you, have you ever had a few words have a profound effect on your life?
Channeled “One can think of a lineage as one side bing the backbone and the other as the heart; one may also view these as male and female energies. Each has much to contribute. These energies are merged to create beauty and sustenance. When not aligned trauma occurs and must be healed. Sometimes this takes many generations to restore to its original intent. When one studies the patterns of the past, his own or his family line, he finds much to learn. These lessons provide direction for the future. A lineage is a book of knowledge, of great wisdom, of explanation and possibility, lost dreams and unexpected fulfillment. There are many measures of a lifetime and calculated through family history creates a lineage. There is no judgment of this, simply a basseline of time creating a map of sorts. One always has a choice in crating his own lifeline. He may see patterns and follow them or he may decide to forge his own path, whether or not this is in regard to improving his or others imprint. Opinion does not alter the truth of the past, present, or future; for it is simply what it is. One can learn from it and appreciate it for the value it bestows upon his life and enable him to see what perhaps had been missed.
”All things come full circle. Pain that was caused/endured is healed in another incarnation. This is the way, the wisdom of experience. In physicality a person learns lessons in a lifetime, but these are also ancestral lessons as well – the essence may inflict, cause, or be affected by that of which his soul returns to heal, to close a cycle of a particular familiar trauma or hardship in order to advance/expand the experience/wisdom of a soul family. The many positions of a family unit gives perspective of that trauma/hardship. While it can be particularly difficult on a human level it is enlightening on a spiritual level of learning and on the advancement/expansion of humanity. The pain felt physically is not that on a spiritual level for it is merely a school of learning. Values of compassion, empathy, nonjudgment, connection, and stewardship, among others are learned. It is important to remember physicality is fleeting while spirituality is that in which one returns for it is only a portion of which is embodied. The human implications are not the same as the spiritual realm. The human mind is quite inquisitive, but the emotional body gives the experience a distinct viewpoint from another with like experience. It takes much reflection and inner work for a person to override emotion and view and experience from many angles to understand the motives of both motion and emotion. Humanity within society is complex. While there can be tremendous difficulty, there is also opportunity of great beauty in connection, shared moments of love, experience, and validation. One often learns the joy is found in the most simplistic of ways, those of which does not involve materialism, the acquisition of things, but in just being and sharing the experience of living.”
“When one stands at the base of a mountain , he sees the arduous climb ahead. When one stands at the top of the mountain, he enjoys the view below and takes pride in the work he has put forth to get there. When one is in the midst of the climb, he fluctuates between what he accomplished and what he has yet to do. One’s viewpoint in life is like that of a mountain climber; it depends upon where he is in life – the work he feels he has succeeded and the goals for which he is still reaching. He often places unnecessary pressure on himself as much of what he thinks is important isn’t in the big picture. If he were to focus on his heart he’d find the importance to be the little things he’s cast aside…human connection, communing with nature, allowing Spirit to work through him in all matters. When one remains open to Spirit, these little things come to the forefront. One begins to understand those things he placed judgment on in others or self weren’t that important. What is important is how one dealt with that judgment. Did one cause harm to another over it? Did one try to view it from a different perspective to understand? Did one shame another? Did one he accept another as he was? Did one place guilt or blame? Did one learn anything from the experience? Life is multifaceted. Even if not understood, it is to be accepted. Empathy and compassion go a long way in easing the difficulties of relationships. Being in the heart more than the head is the first step.
I haven’t posted lately, but I received a message from one of my guides and feel it worthy to share as it can apply to anyone. I hope you find it as uplifting as I do. Perhaps this is a nudge for me to share these messages and my own words more often.
“Do not be afraid of who you are. Embrace your power. Freedom is the acceptance of your gifts. You have unexplored gifts. Have the courage to tap into them. Many of which you’ve touched the surface but go much deeper. The discovery of a gift is NOT the gift. The blessing is its potential of goodness – how it may heal, expand, elevate not only self but others. It is the touch of sacred, the beauty and grace of its wisdom. It is the acceptance of “knowing” and allowing it to work in your life. Breath is a balance of passion, play, and pursuit – Live, explore, seek, and enjoy!”
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.
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?
