Thoughts on returning home…

Posted on by

It is nice to travel, but then there is something to be said for living within the context of your own society.

Travel does enhance your experiences within your own society. It gives you a basis for comparison. It gives you an appreciation for what you have, how others contribute, and what you yourself offer.

Traveling lets you experience firsthand the preoccupations of other societies and how they handle their difficulties. How does this compare to your way? Your society’s? When you do eventually return to your own society, you will not view your problems and your preoccupations in the same way. It would be impossible to. Your world view is such expanded now and you no longer belong solely to your society. You are global now. You are universal. You are greatly expanded. You have an entirely different perspective that you could not possibly have had before.

You have dealt with problems you never before would have dealt with. You found reserves within yourself that you would never have to look for otherwise. Finding these reserves busted open blocks that otherwise would have remained closed. These will forever remain open now. The light contained within will now forever shine outward. This is strength. This is wholeness. You now possess it. It is yours to tap into for all the rest of time.Be grateful for this opportunity, and be pleased with yourself for providing it to yourself. This is wisdom and strength to share.

But there is likewise much to be said for returning home. There is much to be accomplished by flourishing within the context of where you come from and the people you call your own. There is strength in setting down roots. Let the soil for these roots be rich with love and appreciation for those around you and for you from them. Mix it into this soil now, the life experiences attained in your travels. The strength found in hardships endured.

Does travel not equate to Hermit Experiences? Do you not, in the face of extreme differences to yourself and your society in the world around you, go inner to find solutions and answers and even simple refuge from the world of differences around you? Wisdom and strength is found in this Inner World we retreat to, so treat it like The Divine and spiritual fortress that it is.

There is much to be found there, so explore. Appreciate. Show gratitude for its comforts. What is within is truly home, and as it has been said before, “There’s no place like home.”

 

The Masters of Silence

Anybody can attract attention to their self. It’s the absolutely most easiest thing to do. Just start talking without any regard to what you are saying or to the interest level of those around who have to listen. Anybody can draw attention to their self. It’s the easiest thing to do. Simply be without compassion for those around you. Give no thought to their needs for personal space or for quiet. Simply act like you and you alone are present in the room. Act as if what random, what each and every random thought that enters your mind is significant to the advancement of the species, and then make sure we all hear it. Give no thought to those who must listen, interested or not, in your constant and pointless vocalizations. How many though, have truly mastered the art of only speaking when they have something of value to say? Something that truly benefits those around them and not simply a mechanism to drain their energy? These are the Masters of Silence.

A tarot view of Purgatory and how to get out of it

Purgatory is a state of existence that we find ourselves in when we know of our true mission and we know of what we must do to achieve our highest and greatest good, but we refuse to do these things. We sit. We stagnate. We suffer until we finally take the initiative to do what we know we must do to prosper.

Purgatory is a state that we put ourselves in and it s a state we can remove ourselves from. All it takes is effort on our part to actually do it. Doing it does not mean intellectualizing about it and thinking about it. It means actually doing it. It means assessing our circumstances and finding motivation and drive to overcome what we find uncomfortable and undesirable.

Purgatory is not Hell, it only feels like it due to the nagging feeling of discomfort and dissatisfaction. It is completely in our power to remove ourselves from this state of disempowerment that we feel simply by listening to our inner guidance that we have been ignoring. This is what puts us in this state of Purgatory, after all- ignoring our inner guidance. By listening to and following these impulses, we will ignite the Chariot and propel ourselves from this murky depth.

We lack nothing- none of us do. Everything we need for complete happiness, satisfaction, and contentment is embedded within our beings. It is our soul. Our spirit. All the answers we need are within this spark. We are not on the earth to flounder and suffer. We are on the earth to thrive. We simply forget this fact. We begin to believe that struggling and suffering are the natural sate of being, but they are not. The natural state of being is joy and bliss. The more people wake up to this fact and find it within that they may shine it forth, the more the earth will evolve. The more the earth will ascend, therefore we all, each of us, awe it to ourselves and the earth and all who will inhabit (including future incarnations of ourselves) to listen to our inner guidance and remove ourselves from our self-induced state of Purgatory and prosper as the joyous co-creators we truly are.

Shifting into The New

Jesus was placed upon the earth as an example of what mankind can be, what mankind will be. He is an example of what we are each evolving towards. His love and his energy is perfect and pure.  It is what we work towards. When we speak of “perfect ourselves for God” we are speaking of feeling love for all without conditions. This involves the total surrender of the ego. How could it not? With the ego in place, we perceive attack. We feel that those whose behavior is a bother to us are acting such to cause us pain, irritation, and bother. This is most often not the actual case though. This is only our perception of the case. We are conditioned to believe that we are number one, the center of everything, the most important object in our own universe. When we accept oneness, wholeness, we glimpse how much this is not true. We discover how our actions affect others. We become mindful. Likewise, we discover that the bothersome acts of others are not geared towards or directed at us. They are simply the reaction of our ego trying so hard to maintain a statu-quo. We invent ourselves in such and such a way. We tell ourselves that we are only truly true, only truly authentic when certain conditions are in place. Then these conditions are upset, disrupted, so we view those doing the disrupting as a problem. But this is false. We still are who we are. We are now only reacting to this other situation. Go inside and hold tight to that core you within, and no outside influences will affect you. We are only affected by our reactions. Our reactions are from the mind. Our mind will tell us this and that about a situation. But this is only our mind. In our heart and our spirit, we know something different to be true. But as long as we give our mind control, we will be at its mercy. Remember, our thoughts create our reality. As long as our thoughts create a reality of attack and of battle, we will live an existence of attack and battle. If we shift to an attitude of harmony and balance, our thoughts will create a reality of harmony and balance. If we have trouble with this, if it is hard for us to do, we need only ask for help, we need only pray and then silence our mind to hear the guidance we are being provided.

Don’t try to change people

Too often, one may view the unique characteristics of another and feel that these are things to be “changed.” These unique characteristics however are the intrinsic truth of this person. This produces disharmony both in this person who the change is imposed upon and the person endeavoring to do the changing. Acceptance of who a person is is the only way to achieve true harmony. With yourself, for when it is your aim to change a person, you are creating powerful expectations that go unmet, of course, create frustration. Frustration is a form of anger. Anger is a destructive force. This is so.

Sometimes we crave pain. Why this is so.

The true purpose of our life, our presence in human form upon the earth is to learn lessons. We all do, our spirits, strive to attain perfection. So, we create situations, both painful and joyful, to facilitate those lessons. In this way, our spirits crave pain. We crave this pain that  we may work our way through it in order to become more perfect, to appreciate the true perfection we all possess.  And this is exciting to know. For people to understand this will change the perspective they all face in the world. No longer will they be “victims” but rather “students”- students of human form. Our bodies are but vehicles of the spirit. It is our spirit that drives the body. The trick is for the mind to fully surrender to the spirit and allow the spirit to have the experiences it has set out to have. If the mind interferes too much, it only causes difficulties for the spirit in accomplishing what it set out to accomplish. If the mind interferes too much, it will damage the spirit’s chance to learn the lesson a particular situation was designed to teach. What happens then? An opportunity must be created whereby the spirit will have the opportunity to experience this lesson again. This can only slow down the spirit’s progress as it goes back to redo this lesson when it could be putting energy into learning and experiencing something new and different. Imagine that the spirit has a checklist of experiences and lessons it wants to accomplish in its current human form. The sooner it can check off that it had one experience and learned the lesson, it can check it off and move on to another. Is this check list presented in a chronological order that it must go through? That is doubtful. More likely, it is presented in a nonlinear fashion. Each lesson represents a piece of the puzzle. The objective is to collect as many pieces as you can. Of course, our guides and our angels are guiding us towards the pieces. We must only open ourselves to their guidance and to follow, even/especially when pain is involved. Do not fear pain. Embrace it.

Dark to Light

Once you experience The Light, you will never live in darkness again. When challenges come your way, when things seem dark, you know that the light is there. How can you not know? You’ve experienced it. It is organic to you, is it not? You know how to vanquish the dark to let the light in. The light never left. It simply fell into a shadow. The light being who you truly are, it is so much easier, and a natural thing to do, to follow this new shadow back to the light. In this way, darkness can never truly engulf you.

Egoless Guides

In that there is no ego on the other side of the veil, does it not make sense that the guides and the beings that guide us on our path will likely do so silently, not needing the affirmation that notice will provide? They do so with the single need and desire to see us to our destination, and out of harm’s way. They do not need constant attention as they do this. Just seeing us to our destination up the Mountain of Perfection is joy enough for them.

Ego, Doubt, and Fear

The ego bases its existence on doubt and fear, always wanting the spirit to second guess itself and live according to appeasing doubt and indulging fear. But what the intuition knows can not be affected by fear. This is why we must absolutely learn to listen to intuition. Its wisdom is true. So what does the ego want, really? The ego wants to be heard. The ego wants to be right. The ego wants to be in charge. To many, the ego has won. They listen to the doubt and the fear. The intuition speaks, but they say “that is illogical. How can that be right?” So they deny what the ego is telling them. This is not an authentic life, for authenticity is rooted in the heart, not the mind. Keep this in your knowings.

Enduring Pain

To endure pain is to help the human race to evolve. That is not to say to deliberately inflict pain on ourselves, no that would be ridiculous. The point here is to know that in times of pain and hardship, when the heart feels it can bare no more, these are times of growth, of lessons. Accept this. Accept it as a stretch of road on your journey towards your personal light. Consider your personal light to be the horizon you are journeying towards and that the light is the purpose you chose when you made the decision to incarnate such as you have. To endure the pain means to get through it, to the other side of it, stronger, wiser, and that much closer to your light. As we learn, the human race grows stronger. As we reach our light, the human race evolves. Consider this.
