PHEW! I sure hope everyone made it through yesterdays full moon relatively unscathed and for some I hope they are celebrating some epic dreams coming true. Or at least that is one of the energetic options present allegedly in this past full moon.
Did you even know that your ego could impact you in ways that were unpleasant? Albeit if I am honest, ego is in the end is always unpleasant on some level. Did you ever stop and think for a moment when you are wrapped up in a sorrowful emotion just why you are wrapped up in it? If you stop to take the time to actually look at the answer to that question you can end up laughing at yourself through the tears.
Oftentimes we have given our personal power away to another in the form of taking their judgement of us on some level “to heart”. If you perceive that you have done nothing to deserve this treatment then you can find yourself sucked into a swirling whirlpool of sorrow at the perception of injustice. This sort of thinking can take you right down to the roots of your pain if you allow it.
Once you make it to the root and true source of this pain you will come to find that it only remains in existence in your heart alone now, as the individual that blessed you with it oftentimes doesn’t and didn’t even think about you or what was said or done for longer then the moment it takes to have committed the action. So we see, we keep it alive and feed it with the energy of our sorrow. If of course, that is the path we so choose and do walk upon before we are deeply aware and accepting of even the potential of another option.
This is what so many great minds are talking about when they say that if you control your thoughts and mind then you can control your life. Alas I feel control is not the way. I feel that processing, acknowledging and then the inevitable healing of our emotions allow for the birth of such greater growth potential then the simple act of controlling them.
To me control is very restrictive and I find my own growth happens best in environments where I am safely allowed to explore potential. I am sure my tribe is out there that also feels the same. You who seeks the root cause of your own suffering so as to not snuff it out and pretend as if one could ever truly bury it. But rather to heal it and witness it so that you can grow and live beyond its feeble limitations.
The full moon is and has always been a time of increased energies. This has been reflected in the world and many cultures and traditions both ancient and fresh. The ocean tides respond to the pull of the moon. Our bodies comprised of so much water inevitably also feel this pull. Emotions are comprised of an energetic signature and our bodies are fantastic conduits for current.
So we are given a choice each moment, but even more so at junctions in time and space when energies are high and influenced by so much more then we may be able to fully comprehend. We are given a choice to allow the influence and restriction of the pain of others and how they choose to reflect that upon us to bring more pain to this world or we recognize that is what is happening and remove the veil of external illusion placed overtop of our pure and purely shining hearts. This isn’t to say we deny the pain but that rather, we choose for ourselves how we want to feel about ourselves and our lives instead of giving another that precious power and authority.
You see I firmly believe and feel it to be true that no-one has the ability or power to teach you more then you do. You are your best guide and most staunch supporter. We need to do this for ourselves because if we allow it to come from outside of ourselves then the results are ever more fleeting. While we can also remove our own support at any moment due to varying causes or influences. We can come to recognize that it is our choice to do so if we so choose to. Which I would say is an absolute difference and of undeniably more benefit in my estimation then having no choice in the matter and simply cutting straight to the sorrow.
An unkind word or hostile gesture directed towards one can take an otherwise brilliant day and turn it to the most sour and sad salty wreck in a heartbeat quite literally if we allow it to happen. This is what is meant by staying centered. To be able to witness those moments that inevitably happen at times and to be able to remain in your heart. Not kicked out of it because you’re too salty with tears or sass, whichever the case may be.
It does help to recognize that the hurtful words and actions of others stem from the pain held within the individual. However this can be little comfort when one is feeling crushed under the burdensome weight of the disconnected words, thoughts or actions of another that have been directed our way with ill intent.
Especially if one takes a look at their own pain and ego gets one to engage in a sorrow competition with another.
Ego1: “Nope mine is sadder.”
Ego2: “No waaaaay dude get outtta here! Mine is way worse.”
Ego1: “Nevaaaaaah! Now you must take my pain because you have disrespected me and my own far superior suffering”
Ego2: “Mofo, psshaw You couldn’t even tie yo shoelaces if you even took a quick peek at this suitcase I’ve got packed up with tidy little vacuum sealed space saver packages of my suffering. Get out of the ring before I crush you with the nightmare that you wrongfully presumed was my painless life.”
Ego1: “I’m still right”
“Sucka”
……..
And so it could go on and on, like a hilarious improv only it really happens in life and it is a true source of suffering for so many. Not to mention the needlessness of it all. I am a naturally competitive type person, within reason of course but even I see the uselessness and supreme futility of this type of wounded and wounding approach.
That is why we are called to operate from a heart center because if we truly and with the integrity of our fully committed intentions do this, then no matter at what stage of development we find ourselves, we will find ourselves erring as we inevitably do at times on the side of caution and care as opposed to other available options. This provides the opportunity to bring less pain to this world and even allows for the opportunity to bring joy instead. Joy, healing, love, peace and so much more and isn’t that what we all seek in the moments when we are left reminded that no “thing” on this earth is permanent. No thing. No person. No home. No dream. No evil. No life. No job. No thing on this earth is permanent. The only thing that is permanent and all encompassing in its power and eternal authority is Love. Love is the essence of Heavenly Father and the universe and all within it. Love.
It’s how we dance through these moments of impermanence and how well we are able to hold and come from Love that define and provide a glimpse towards our true eternal destination and purpose for living. For in it’s dancing, we can remember the heart of it all. The joy, the peace, the love, the energy, the hope, the healing and so much more at the heart and core of this life experience that we find ourselves in.
I love you all.
