Honoring the Sacred Self

/ Susan / Leave a comment

We live in a world of variety. Each person is gifted with an individual expression comprised of his/her own values of truth, love, and freedom. This authenticity of one’s soul/spirit guides one along the path of it’s Divine Purpose. This essence is creative in nature whether one is making art or living life. I have found the things I enjoy currently in my life are the things which brought me joy as a child: nature, sewing, collecting rocks, making things from found objects, and writing. Throughout the years this list has greatly enlarged. I feel a connection with Spirit when I engage in creative activities. It is important to nourish oneself; heart mind, body, and soul/spirit. When one honors the Sacred Self, one honors the Divine in all. I find that whether I am sitting in meditation, journaling, taking photos, painting a picture,  or communing with nature I am connecting with the Sacred. What activities in your life feel Sacred? Do you view creativity as a Sacred Act? Do consider gratitude and kindness as nourishing to your Soul? How do you honor your Sacred Self?

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.

The Way of the Heart

“When a door closes, there is always another one to open. Be willing to step inside and see the possibilities before you. There will be doors within doors and the choice will be yours to open, close, or embark upon what is offered. There are no rights or wrongs, only opportunities of exploration, experience, expansion. Your heart will know your way. Let go of fear, of doubt. Bask in the wonder the Universe offers. There seems to be a darkness with endings but yet it is simply a germination of new beginnings. The cycle continue whether or not one is aware or understands. As the seeds flower be patient for the bearing of fruit, for it occurs in many ways and not necessarily in the way one expects. Divine Purpose runs deep, and as it rises to the surface it may be more complex or even quite simplistic than one’s sensations led him to believe. You only need to believe, to know with your entire being, every cell of your physical body, that your Spirit knows, guides, and delivers you to your destiny. Whatever path it leads you is the right one, whether or not it is what you imagined. Even though one connects with the Sacred as he brings Spirit into his physicality it is still somewhat conditioned by the perception of its physical nature. Though Spirit is not confined it still works within the limitations of its vessel. Remain open to what you receive as much beauty and love are currently within you and await you, for you to receive and share. See the beauty of love in that which has passed, what is now, and what will come to be. To feel and share the love in every moment; this is existence, this love, This is beauty. This is truth. This is where true power can be felt-what you take from your heart and find your special way to place it in the world around you. Know others are hurting though they may express it differently. Allow them that space. But know their pain, their expression, is not yours to bear. Speak your truth. Stand your ground. But do so with love in your heart. That does not mean to allow yourself to be trampled upon. The freedom to walk away is yours, but do it in love for yourself not in contempt of another. Allow them their truth as you have yours, even if they do not honor yours. Remain in your heart, true to yourself. The dust will settle, but do not settle for anything less than your own truth which is your love, your way. When you honor the Divine as it shines through you, you honor all others-this is living your truth, your Divine existence.”

Treasure Chest of Truth

/ Susan / Leave a comment

“The deeper one digs the more lost one might feel yet the closer he gets to finding what has been lost. Much is buried beneath many layers-truth and treasure. Your truth is your treasure. It is the route to both freedom and abundance. Self exploration leads to connections; to the past, to others, but more importantly to Spirit and self. Your truth within manifests into abundance around you. A time of fallow precedes a time of fruit. Each period is of importance. It is good to remember what one does for self he does for others. That reverberation reaches and extends and continues. The echo from the mountain is heard across the valley and so on. Lift your voice to sing and your foot to dance. It will always reach another of the same beat/resonance. Together healing occurs. No one does it all or alone. The saying ‘takes a village to raise a child’ goes the same for saving humanity/the world. Every being plays a part that fits into others until all hands are joined. Each is a link in the chain/circle. We are here to connect, to commune, to recognize the tribe who helps us find our way, what makes us feel complete. This can be strictly in relationship or can be work, creative endeavors, joy, or adventure inspired, whatever makes one ‘tick’. It is in the ‘coming alive’ where one finds self-connection to Spirit-a sense of purpose. To live with purpose is to live with intention. That essence is known to small children but is often lost through outside influence. When one regains this essence and lives from this center this authenticity, this truth, leads him with his purpose, his desire of experience. This places his mark on the world, whatever it is and in whatever form it takes-for that is his purpose-to find it and use it. For it will lead him home. And that is the beauty of the quest. 

Perception of Truth

/ Susan / Leave a comment

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.

The Gem Within

/ Susan / Leave a comment

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.
