The journey to Self and the path of awakening means something very different to each soul; we are unique, and, as unique beings, our perceptions and understandings are personal to us; the Truth that we carry is not necessarily the same Truth as anyone else. Yet, does this mean that others are wrong and we are right, or is the opposite true?
When we take the
path of Truth within, we become aware of our own inner battleground; that place
within, where heart and head frequently clash, and where we can struggle to
find unity with the polarities of life. Light and Dark are one such polarity,
and we can spend so long focused on these polarities that we lose sight of the
bigger picture. Sometimes, we get lost in trying to understand life; we look
for answers, solutions and resolutions, as we seek out a rationale for our
existence.
Such quests are an
innate part of being human, but as we continue to awaken, it seems that we are
being faced with the realisation that sometimes there is no answer. It is all
too easy to see the ‘problem’ as an outside force: the job, the relationship,
the income etc., but when we open up to Truth, we can see that seeking the
answer is no longer important, for we realise that until we find balance within
ourselves, we will continue to struggle to find understanding in other aspects
of our lives.
As we loosen the
shackles of the mind and stop dragging the chains of sacrifice, suffering and
heartache, we can begin to widen our perspectives. Being human, it is often so
hard to move beyond the inner battleground, and very often this is the reason
for clinging to Light, for it takes us away from the pain that we perceive in
the Dark, and yet, until we merge the two in Divine Union, we cannot grow,
evolve, learn or fully awaken.
When we look beyond
ourselves for the answers or the solutions, we loosen the connection that we
have within, to both our Selves, and our Divinity. We are Divine, and as Divine
Sparks, it is important to honour all aspects of our Selves. Sometimes this
involves letting go of perceptions and ideals, and sometimes this can mean
self-forgiveness. The latter may seem a little strange, but, on the whole, most
of us spend so long putting ourselves under pressure to do more, be more and
have more, that we continually put ourselves down and run ourselves ragged.
When we open up to Truth and open up to truly forgiving ourselves, we open up
to Love.
In many ways, we can
see Love as the unification of Dark and Light, for Love is a powerful force
that weaves into the hearts and souls of us all. Whilst some push this away,
others are opening up to the true majesty and magnificence of what Love brings.
Love is a state of Being, and it goes beyond trying to chase dreams or being
warriors of Light, for Love allows us to live fully consciously in the present
moment, connected to our Divinity and beyond denial, storylines and polarities.
It is time to move
beyond fear, beyond the fear of being hurt, of being rejected, of not fitting
in, of not being enough; of life, and instead open up fully to the process of
living and of being alive.
Part of this process
involves opening up to the healing power of the darkness as sometimes we need
to let go of the drive to illuminate the darkness or to push it away;
sometimes, we need to go into the darkness and let our eyes adjust. Life is
created in the darkness of the womb; we are incubated in the womb and this is
where we receive nourishment. We
therefore need to expand our understanding of the Dark in order to let go of
the resistance and to instead be open to the inspiration that lies at its core.
If we see ourselves
as seedlings planted in the rich, fertile and dark soil, and, in time, with the
right cultivation, we know that we will burst forth into the Light. Yet, we do
not leave the Dark behind us, for without our roots, we wither and die.
Therefore it is time to honour the balance and to rediscover the Truth of our
foundations.
So, it seems that we
are now moving beyond the charge of the Light Workers to a more powerful and
majestic flow of inner Unity, strength and Love...
