Well hey there! It’s a new day and while the world does indeed continue to spin and all the energies, dramas, do indeed continue to ebb and flow one word has been ringing through my thoughts for a few days now. That word is Patience. That’s right Patience and with a capital P no less.
How many times in this life and living are we faced with the choice to be patient? From those early years when we were perhaps denied a candy or toy that we so desired in the moment to the more well aged ones where we are given the choice as to how we respond to another regardless of their own chosen actions or path and then every single moment in between and to come.
These moments when we can choose to embrace a lack of attempt to control another’s opinion or action or judgement and instead breathe into acceptance. All the labels we can place on all the moments that we are given a choice. The moments like the pause between breathes that we wait for a decision to arrive, a confirmation of the answer we already know in our hearts and the moments when we are faced perhaps with an obtuse and somewhat oblivious and ignorant to Divine law and higher nature action of another.
In these moments that we are given a choice, we may come to recognize as defining moments. They define not only who we embody and thus become but in essence set us upon pathways in our lives development. How we respond to others no matter what we are faced with for instance. When we feel insulted or are harassed or attacked on some level do we lose our chill? Do we take that moment as the moment of choice? What is the point of any of that anyways one might ask. All things do truly pass after all so why even bother thinking about it?
The answer to that I truly believe is found in the fact that our emotions are energy. As we choose how we respond we also are in essence choosing whether we waste our energy in frivolity or if we respect not only ourselves but also the greater and grander Divine truth.
Does this mean we do not feel the emotion of the moment? I don’t believe so but rather that we allow ourselves to feel it and recognize we are feeling it and respect that we are feeling it and then that we choose in that moment what we send out. How we respond, not react but respond. To me reaction is what we do when we do not allow ourselves the moment of pause whereas responding is what we do when we allow ourselves the blessing of greater vision.
There will always be people in this world that struggle to comprehend the interconnected nature of all life and living and thusly act from a disrespectful perspective. But does this mean that we have the right to impose the truth of this fact upon them? No it doesn’t. There will always be those of us that cannot comprehend the situation of others and so will say things that are reflective of a level of blindness in essence. We are called to always come from the heart and have empathy and compassion. Yet we cannot at the same time allow others to treat us or those around us in ways that are vicious, dangerous even or that carry an energetic signature of…. lets just call it slime. Because to me it feels like slime when people choose to act as though they are free to impose violence, negativity or harassment on another.
That said, what a blessing it is to be able to recognize that slime and to be able to with the power of the authority of your own choice, be able to detach from the suffering that sticks like glitter to every darn thing if one so chooses to engage in such actions. To be free of the entanglement of the etheric ripples of such negativity is such a blessing.
It carries within its choice the access to peace. While we may feel the impact of the choice of another to act in such manners we can also be assured that anyone who would be so bold as to choose that path is only placing an obstacle, a wall of sorts between their hearts and peace. Peace is after all the living reflection of Heavenly Father, of God, of whatever label you so choose to place upon the Divine Creator that is found within each and every single one of us all.
Peace cannot be bought. It cannot be counted in a bank account or polished like shiny chrome on a classic car. Peace cannot be forced. It cannot be controlled and it cannot exist in the heart of one who chooses to attempt to deny it to others. That is a simple, pure and true fact. Just look around your own life and the people you know and interact with and you can see that truth reflected. At the very same time peace is there for all of us. All we have to do is listen. Breathe. Allow and Listen to it. Listen for it. Peace is powerful. It is undeniable in potency once accessed and eternal in nature as much as love is once truly shared.
I love you all unconditionally dear beautiful souls. You are loved. You are precious. You are special because you are you. You don’t need to prove your worth to anyone but yourself, if you choose to forget it even when we sometimes forget we have that choice and slip into thinking less of ourselves then what we are truly deserving of. Oh and may the only slime you encounter today be the fun colored kind that kids love not the “other” kind.. Hehe Peace!
