Dream

In life we often find ourselves in situations that seem to be complacent or stagnant.  We long for something more, maybe more meaningful or exciting.  Often times we seem to settle for what ever life brings us, not daring to look beyond and see what could be.

The orchestration of the universe is a familiar hum.  Along with it is the complementary instruments and rhythms of time, space and manifestations.  Looking at ourselves this way may allow us to bring forth something extraordinary from our beings.  Something magical can happen when we allow ourselves to dream of what could be instead of focusing on the reality of what is.

Our imaginations can be a powerful force to begin the first notes of our most greatest symphony.  A note here, another there, and soon there is a rhythm and timing that begins to unfold that the human mind can hardly grasp.  Pictures, feelings, longings from long ago begin to display in the minds eye something wondrous and bright, yet vaguely familiar.

Allowing ourselves to dream isn't just for children, for within us all is a child that really never grows up.  Who doesn't long for that doll you wanted when you were little or the fast car with the red stripes that you always had your eye on.  Was the excitement you felt within the thing that you wanted or in the feeling it gave you?

We all need to dream, we all need to look beyond ourselves to something brighter, something magnificent in order to begin to orchestrate ourselves into the fabric of time and space.  This is our birth right.  To dream the biggest dreams and climb the highest mountains we could have ever imagined.  So today take one small step and begin to dream one of your best dreams yet.

Rejuvenation

Rejuvenation:  the reversal of aging and thus requires a different strategy, namely repair of the damage that is associated with aging or replacement of damaged tissue with new tissue.

Starting over is sometimes one of the hardest things to do.  We often build ideas and thoughts around who we are, what we look like to others and supply our own ideas about what it is we think we should be doing in life.  When something happens, however, that shakes these believes and when things begin to fall apart we are left with nothing else to do but to start over.

The loss of a job, the loss of someone we love, the loss of a family member or even the loss of our own identity can create a state of wonder and confusion about who we are, or more importantly, who we thought we were.  The idea in life is not to live a definitive existence, yet most of us try to create a box around that exact idea.  Asking children who they want to be when they grow up, explaining to people what we do for a living instead of who we are; the latter being the harder question to answer. 

If I own a house, have 2.5 children and am happily married, does this mean I am happy and successful?  If I own two houses, have several wives and 8 children, does this mean I am happy and successful?  If I own nothing and sleep on the street in a box, does this mean I am happy and successful?

The real answer to any of these questions is only found in one place, our own hearts.  For one may be perfectly happy sleeping in a box and another perfectly miserable having several wives.  So there is no definition for being successful that will fit us all, yet we constantly strive to become that which society dictates to us as successful or "the norm".  Starting over is a blessing.  Starting over means you get another opportunity to review your life, see what has worked, what has made you happy and what hasn't and then to begin again in your own way and on your own terms.  Rejuvenating the concept of who you are and why you are here.  Discovering the real you and not the "canned" idea of who you should be.

Love, Anyway

When we look around the world today it seems that the one thing that we were created from is   missing from our lives. The dysfunction in society and patterns in families most often leave us feeling lonely, and sometimes afraid. News on the radio and TV paint dark pictures of what is happening in the world and for those most sensitive to living in the light these energies can be very alarming and inhibiting.

If you feel alone and almost afraid because at times you think the world has gone crazy, know that there are divine beings that help and can help you if only you ask. Many of these beings have been where you are today. They have transcended the earth and all of it's heavy energies by working on themselves and cultivating love and nurturing for themselves and others.

Mother Teresa said:

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. 

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
This is one of the greatest paths to self love and the unconditional love leading to the twin flame union. Whenever someone is unkind, it is because of their perceptions, their experiences, their misqualified energies that they are choosing to create. If we choose to love anyway, we are refusing to add to that misqualified energy and choose for ourselves to live in light and love, not to then misqualify our own energy and murk up our energy fields, bringing ourselves closer to union with the divine.

Knowing that the unkind, the darkness in the world, is nothing more than people who fear not to be loved, that can no longer see that they are love because they have so much darkness around them, helps us to be love anyway. We are all trying to find our path in life. Knowing that everyone of us is doing the best we can, helps us to realize our imperfections in ourselves and accept the imperfections in others. We need not let those people into our lives if they harm us, but we can still love and be strong enough to show them what love is, anyway.

The Man in the Mirror Poem

When you get what you want in your struggle for self

And the world makes you king for a day

Then go to the mirror and look at yourself

and see what the man has to say

For it isn't a man's father, mother or wife

whose judgment upon him must pass

The fellow whose verdict counts most in his life

Is the man staring back from the glass

He's the fellow to please; never mind all the rest,

For he's with you up to the end:

And you're past your most dangerous, difficult test

If the man in the glass is your friend

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,

And get pats on the back as you pass

But your final reward will be heartache and tears

If you've cheated the man in in the glass!

This poem was found written on the wall of a cell in death row. It was composed by an anonymous prisoner who was later executed

The Man in the Mirror Project - Safeguarding Your Being

In life most often we think of things like locking our doors or putting on protective clothing before we brave the winter to keep ourselves safe.  In this day in age, however, it's not only necessary to protect ourselves physically, but also on other levels.

The coming of the end of the Mayan Calendar this December has brought with it many doomsday prophecies and the media has not been hesitant in infusing fear into the masses.  Matter of fact, my television is barely on these days, knowing that most of the stories reported are of how bad our economy is, which country is against which country, or of more terrorist bombings.

While many unconscious folk remain in the rut of reliving and feeding off fear and upset, there are others who will remain constant in their "knowing" that the illusions that the media and the world are now creating are absolutely not real.  It's easy to become entangled in the words of another.  For many, seeing something in print or on the television automatically makes it true.  This unconscious pattern of thinking is what needs to be prodded into in order to be able to navigate your true path in the world.

If thoughts are made manifest, what are these fearful thoughts doing when you accept them into your space?  They will have an emotional, physical and even spiritual effect on you.  Once created in the mind your own being will recreate the thoughts within you in every level of your being.  What you think is true, becomes true for you, whether or not in reality it actually  is.  This one premise of understanding that the consciousness of all is truly on many levels, allows you to safeguard your being. Just as our thoughts create negative patterns of energy within ourselves, so do another's words should you let them become your thoughts as well.

Go back even to your childhood or to a time in your life when things went badly.  Statements that were made to you like "you're fat" still most likely play an enormous part on your inner landscape.  They are most often simple words.  Seemingly not amounting to anything.  They seem innocent at first, but should you let them into your own state of being , they can be very upsetting to your life for many years.

Safeguarding our being while others live in fear or gossip about the bad news of the world, means taking responsibility for the choices we make when accepting the truth for ourselves.  We can ask "is it true?" before accepting it as part of our inner landscape, or even "is it true for me?".

Navigating through the next few months try to be mindful of the statements being made around you.  Observe yourself and how you either accept the thought as your own or reject it.  Observe the way your body reacts upon hearing any news or words from another and you'll be on your way to mastering one of the best techniques for safeguarding your being.

This, like other avenues of self mastery, is one of the steps that will allow you to become closer to conscious union with your twin flame.

Divine Timing; A Story from Michael

Image from blissinimages.wordpress.com

Once there was a man with a great wish.  He thought he could wish for the stars and the moon only coming to realize he was unable to grasp that which he thought he wanted.  He came to a crossroads in his life when someone asked him about his future.

"What does the future hold for you?" he said.  "Something wonderful", he replied.  "I only know it is something that is divinely designed just for me, but know not what it is."  "How do you know this sir?"  "Because", said the man, "the only way to know what is in store for my future is to look to the stars not to try to grasp at them."

He left the man alone to ponder the thoughts.  Who among us can say what is in store for us in the future for nothing in our past holds true for our present or future unless we put it there.  Our future depends on us, but it also relies divine timing, bringing the star to your heart only when the time is right and the heart is ripened.
