Resilience is a gift of self-knowledge given to us by our self-love. As we accept this gift from our self, we naturally accept the experiences we face in life as experiences which wishes to grow us, to mature us. Therefore, resilience is the power of loving knowledge which comes from our own nurturance, our own self-caring, our own encouragement. Life will always be no more or no less than what it is, or what it is presenting to us at any given moment. Like in any classroom, such as life is our classroom, there is always something to learn, something which comes to remold us, to make us a better individual for our future. Resilience finds its purpose in that. Resilience is the inspiration which is always there to lift us up and dust us off if needed. Resilience tends to any wounds and even works to heal them. Resilience is the part of you, living inside of you, that can’t help but love you. So, why not let resilience love you? Why not let resilience care for you as no one else can? Resilience is your bestest of friends. Hello resilience, I am so glad you’re here. Be resilient, start today in honor and love of yourself.
Are
you aware of your everyday relationship with fear? Fear is one of our many
different daily dance partners. Not that we may even recognize we’re doing the
fear dance to whatever situation we’re facing. Yet fear is a choice point which
stirs our life into a point of potential growth. Depending on whatever choice
we make of course determines if we grow or not.
What
does fear want from us?
Fear
is consciousness itself expressing the need for us to be alert instantaneously.
No lag time, to be alert immediately. It is this fear, our protective unconscious
expression of energy, which comes to be manifest in our mind, brain, and body.
It comes to shake us acutely wide awake. It like hearing, BANG WITH FLASHING
LIGHTS! WAKE-UP this is your BE ALERT call. For you are now entering into a
situation were your not prepared in that moment to face. It is this, a bright
blinking like light in the darkness of lack of understanding which is calling
for us to PAY-ATTENTION. It is this blinking light of fear warning us of what
is standing before us. It is this light, that which is called fear which
prevent us from being consumed, hurt, by a moment we are not prepared for. It
echoes out its concern to us. Announcing itself for our awareness. Fear is our
protective consciousness.
Fear needn’t tie us up and inhibit us from evolving through and past the fear event before us. Fear’s goal is to cause us to pause as it deflects us away from any potential harm or pain. So then, after the event we can access what we need to understand more deeply with resolve. This point of fear alert us to the point of growth facing us. Fear wishes to teach us, to grow us, to evolve us into a more knowledgeable understanding of life. Of course, we must consider the severity of the situation and the volume of the fear itself. Not all of the mental and physical outcome of a fear event can be process without professional support. I speak here of the fears we face often enough, as we dance with fear every day. So, it make sense we learn this dance called fear.
We live in a world littered with countless distractions. In
a single moment a person can be pulled consciously and subconsciously into the
grip of several distracting things in their surroundings. Sounds, smells,
images, and feeling of sensations are constantly flirting with us. Every day we
are challenged by new and old forms of distractions which demand our attention as
they enter into our personal spaces. It appears with all the attention we give
to our distractions there’s so little time left for us to nurture by the core
of the self. It is our core self which allows for the opportunities of long-lasting
peaceful tranquility. That is to experience the uncluttered loving core of
our-self, wherein lies all our strength of divinity. Love holds immense power
and when we hold and recognize such spiritual love for our self, empowerment
unfolds. This undisturbed time in self-love is needed for the nurturing care and
maintenance of our whole self. A time to create a healthier intimate relationship
with ourselves. To refresh ourselves in love, so we can increase and recognize
our untapped strength.
This undistracted time is the precious time we need to refocus
and guide our intentions back toward the forgotten strength of our inner self; spirit
itself. Honoring this undistracted loving time is made as an investment in the
self, for the love of the self, and its precious value must be kept. As it is
what provides for the intimacy needed to acquaint the self to the forgotten self.
This time is what will provide power for withdrawing from the torrent of distracting
and addictive simulations and awaken us to spirit.
Distractions volley to infiltrate and usurp space in our thinking.
Ultimately to steal our power and keep us divorce from spirit. It stirs up random
emotions altering our state of mind and state of consciousness. Like a virus it
attaches itself to our flow of thoughts and corrupts it nature. How much do we
truly understand how all this fury of distracting simulation is reshaping who
we are. Without making time, taking time, to spend quietly in our own company
how would we ever know? We easy lose touch with ourselves and buy into the
distraction. We lose touch with our own sense of self-empowerment. It’s as
though we trade our company with ourselves in for the pleasures of the external
simulations distracting us in life. We become the addicts of mindless
simulation constantly searching for more to fill the void of our forgotten self.
Spirit itself. Consumed by the doings of distractions. To easily become even more
easily distracted, and in turn forgetting about the value of the being which
lies at our inner most core. We forget the experiences of the love we are.
We must as often as possible step-out of this torrent of simulation,
and take time to be with our-selves, to break the addiction of the grasp of simulating
distraction. Preferably quiet time where you can find, listen to, and
experience the deeper aspects of the core of you. Giving yourself this time for
self-empowerment is essential. Without providing any time with our own truthful
self is depriving the ourselves with the greatest love we can possible receive;
except of course that of the love of God. Time is one of our most important and
priceless commodities. How we spend our time determines the quality of our investment
into our-self. No matter who or what we are spending our time with, that
time spent, is an investment we are spending on our-self. Why do
I say this you may ask? It is because it is our minds which uses that time spent,
that time invested in, to increase its ability to discern what we have decided
has value for our own evolution. Empowerment
comes from that which holds within itself universal and empirical values. Its
worth is seen in the valued of truth, and so discernment is made easy as it
filters out the alluring distractions of life. This is power. This power is
revealed in the personal and intimate time we spend on and invest in our-self. We
have only oneself to care for. How many things do we give value to and not ever
even consider taking that time to create even more value in our-self?
Great is the power found in the time we invest in ourselves.
The time used to step away from all the cluttering distractions vying to take
hold of a space in our mind. Personal time is needed for self-care to free the self
from the distraction’s demands for attention. We all need special time to
unburden our self. These time-consuming menacing distractions of life easily enshroud
us in a prison of our own thinking. It is only when we take the time for being
still and silent that we can abolish the illusionary cage of distracting thoughts. Our freedom happens only through our investment
in loving self-empowering thoughts.
The funny thing about all of this is we all possess the power we need, the peace we need, the love we need, waiting at our core like a hidden treasure. We have covered up our treasures which truly define us with the torrent of daily unnecessary distractions. We keep looking for what lies deep within us outside of us in the distractions of the world. It is only when we take the time, make the time, to give our-self the loving time we need, do we have a space to heal. Will we be able to uncover what we have lost, or shall I say what we have hidden away from our self. A meditationpractice is needed to bring us to the quiet and still intimate space of power wherein. This is the place where you can listen to your heart speak the truth of spirit. It is the self, spirit, which can never-ever be absent of the truth. It may take time and patience to learn to hear the sweet whispers of the spiritual heart, your intuition. But if you spend time, invest your time, it will reveal your spiritual heart to you. The experiences you will find in those moments are worth their weight in gold. Are you willing to invest in yourself so you can reveal the values laid hidden in the treasure of your spiritual hearts? I believe your worth giving that time to yourself.
Next week’s post is “The Journey Inward to Empowerment and Self
Discovery”.
When we realize the power is not in any of the segments of the extremes we hold as truth. That will just polarize us, separate us, as it is doing now. Our separations signify the strands of duality. Stands of truths. They are simply one’s chosen view of one end of the truth; a part of the truth. They are only fragments of the truth. In our belief of these fragments is carried intoxicating illusions of opposition concerning the other end of the whole of the truth. The power lies in the willingness to join the opposing opposite ends together. It is in this outcome the SYNERGY of duality exists, and from this the whole of truth emerges wisely. That’s where the power lies; in the marriage of duality. Equanimity. Peace will be with all of us then; in the marriage of humanity.
The energy of forgiveness is innate in all of us. It lies dormant in the creative flow of the consciousness of love. Therefore as you increase you ability to love you increase your ability to forgive naturally. The world is now becoming blind to the truth of love. This innate power come as a gift from those who are willing to love without restriction. Forgiveness enlivens love to heal. All the love we each express is colored by the manner in which we are nurtured by our ability to love and care for ourselves. Loving brings the self into the conscious light of a more complete form of our higher self. From the smaller, constricted, and more shut-down and fearful-self.
Consciousness holds all our unlimited powerful potential of which forgiveness is one. Love is the consciousness which unfolds forgiveness to be gifted to the self and the world. As a potential of consciousness, the energy of forgiveness acts like real and honest magic as it unfolds a greater aspect of the forgiver. Evolving that individual sight beyond the limitated vision of the hurtful world and what they have falsely imagined to be their self as a victim. This magic is of the healing consciousness of loving the self; freeing the self. Of going beyond the limitations of the suffering of experiential pain and hurt. Forgiveness is one of these gifts. The gift of freedom from past sufferings bestowed through the capacity to love more than previously realized.
When we’re children life is always play, and there always seems to be some music playing, even if it not. Life is a wonder-full place, a magical kingdom filled with laughter and kind sweetness. Through the eyes of a child there’s a friendly sheen, a radiance, about everything and everyone. Everything seems to smile. Even the rain can be like sunshine to a child. Such divine freedom a child processes for the enjoyment of living its life. Children bring their inner-joyment, their brilliance, into life. They aren’t necessarily expecting life to give into them. In any case, due to the beauty of the attraction natural life has for children, it enjoys playing with merriment with any child. So, what has happened. What have we adult forgotten which has stained our perceptions of the gift of living our inner-joyment, which is our inner childlike brilliance. We must remember that we contain the most beautiful gift given to life. That is of being a child or even an adult being divinely childlike. Thank God for the children, they are the brilliant one’s who are holding the light of grace for the world’s innocence. Remember the gifts of being a child and reemerge each one into your life every day.
To Honor the Self is to live from a space of the innocence of a child.
Forgiveness is an act of consciousness. An energy which grabs you, taking you by the hand to guide you into a new nurtured space for you to live your life in. A space where you don’t have to bear a burden from the past. It is as if the energy of forgiveness, that discovered space of consciousness, breathes new life into you; filling you UP. You’re no longer faced by a hold from the past, facing you backward. You now have the opportunity to face all way, any way. Because now you can choose more freely, see more clearly, and perhaps even feel like you can fly. Forgiven is a movement of grace. An energy of conscious, whose blessing is a healing to those who deeply experience the energy of forgiving. Free.
