Becoming by Design

The seed was always going to be a sunflower. It was planted. Watered. Fertilized. Received sunlight. The sunflower was patient. It allowed time and the elements to do their parts. It focused on being because it knew in order to Become it simply needed to be. Transitions are much like this. We only need be. Much is occurring within and in time the outer catches up. The blueprint was always there, but construction takes a lifetime. We’re all being built one step/layer at a time. Looking back to my early childhood I find my sensitivities, creative impulses, play, habits, interactions, and desires were all indications of my path. How about you? What activities did you enjoy? Where was your heart centered? How did you interact with others? When did you feel most true to yourself? Why (your motives) did you act/react in the ways you did? Where did you feel needed? How did you have fun? What gave you comfort?

I had many dreams when I was young, some came to fruition, others not. I’ve traveled many paths and learned valuable lessons. I am MUCH older now, and looking back I see the cycles and the seasons between that has had me exploring the themes of childhood over various ways. Of course, these versions have matured and even somewhat mastered in areas, yet those same callings are within me. The voice became louder until it became heard, and then it settled in to a soft knowing. One must learn when to work, when to rest, and when to play. And the soul is here to teach you how to do all these things.

Breaking Barriers

*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.”

In the Service of Higher Love

*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!”

The Wisdom of Lineage

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.

Perception of Truth

The chaos and not knowing, though frustrating, is a normal function as the human mind is limited and only has perceptions of the spiritual mysteries – this is where one’s “truth” is established. It is simply that person’s point of view or understanding, what they need to know at the time to benefit their current stage of unfolding or awareness. There are no wrongs or rights in what one perceives as it is the lesson of that soul’s spiritual development. It is not to be judged, downplayed, or praised – only to be accepted with neutrality. One may resonate with another’s truth; perhaps they accept it as their own or take bits of it until another layer is added or shed in their expansion. Again, no right or wrong, simply different as it is dependent upon the individual.

Sharing A Message

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!”

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?

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.

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.
