Meanness Abounds

Photo by Autumn Goodman

Oh God, I know I have a meanness within me
I know not where it comes from
As I feel it rear its ugly head
I still feel unable to curb it, at all

I am ashamed, so deeply ashamed
It is so familiar, I am painfully stunned to say
I know it too well for I have acted
upon that meanness all too often

I am the master of the preemptive strike
I am quick to lash out
in my total righteousness
I have focus for my anger, only,
For my view of that which is right

I feel untenable shame at my past actions
I need profound forgiveness
for vast amount of meanness and carelessness
I have hurt others through my fiery rage
I have often still felt in the Right
even after my striking out is over

Photo by Mwangi Gatheca

My gnashing and sobbing do not begin to make amends
but perhaps I can start anew
I need to start anew, fresh again
to try and heal the meanness
that I have given my fierceness to
over and over again

I want the meanness and regret
to be cleansed from my energy
I want any love that still remains within
to grow and overflow outwards

I call within and without for this to manifest
For love to override the core of meanness within
I command the cleansing to commence, continue, and complete!
And, So It Is. And, So It Is.

I Self-Protect

I walk through my days protecting
Something feels very vulnerable
I cloak myself with ever ready vigilance
Against that which I sense is everywhere present

Photo by Norman Toth

I feel attack energy ready to slay me
I see myself being irreparably hurt, betrayed, and abandoned
It has happened to others. They suffer
I could so easily be the next one to lose

I present my false self everywhere
I am protecting my real self all the time
I know the difference but I pretend I don’t
I pretend to be who I am not
I feel I need to be someone other than me
Then I may be safe
Then I may escape the darkness seeking me

Photo by Nathan Dumlao

How did I come to this?
What did I miss?
Why do I persist?
What have I yet to learn?
Where did my trust go?

Oh Divine One, hear my plea
I am lost in this place of pain and suffering
I know not why I have swallowed the fear
Why I have chosen self-protection
Why I have sought to hide
I am weary living like this
I can’t find my happy time

I need to feel your Presence
My connection is so broken
In all this confusion, I can’t find my center
I keep pretending so maybe there is nothing of me really present
Come into my heart and mind
Why is this happening to me?
Am I lovable at all?

Your thoughts are not the You, you seek

When I am in Silence
I feel larger than my body
I feel I can expand and expand
I feel lighter and connected

I long to know
How to bring this Peace with me
Into my daily life
Into my every cell

I need to feel connection
All the day and all the night
In happiness and in self-attack
In doubt and in fear

I long to walk without worry
To see without anxiety
To be the connected One I may remember
From another time and place

Show me what I fear
So deeply to keep it hidden
So profoundly to keep me disconnected
So thoroughly that I believe it

The Light in Silence tells another story
About all my goodness
Even though it is fleeting
Because, maybe I can’t believe it?

Why do I feel so dark about me?
I do not want to be here, again and again
I want that Peace in Silence
To stay with me every moment of the day

Help me make new choices
For what I give my power to
For what I see as my smallness
For how I think about myself

Something is off here
My thoughts say, “not enough,
Not successful, not lovable,
Not worthy, yourself to blame”

My heart says look again
Command the darkness out
You are of the Light
Your thoughts are not the You, you seek

Forgiveness is Profound Love

I have been watching Kurt Seyit and Sura, a Turkish/Russian love story beginning in Russia during the Russian revolution and moving to Istanbul. It is magnificent and heartbreaking based on a true story. I have been wondering why I have been so engaged with this series.  In silence today, I realized that it is because the main characters get caught up in their inability to forgive themselves and each other. This is the tragedy of their lives. There is enough self-recrimination and numerous missed opportunities to set down the past that literally wrings their souls and apparently mine as well. I found myself literally yelling at the television with total frustration at both the main characters. They simply had to forgive themselves and each other and move on, as deep hopeful love awaited them.

Forgiveness is profound love. If you do not forgive yourself, you cannot forgive or truly love others. You can play at this forgiveness for as long as it takes but unattended forgiveness remains a thorn in your soul. Where are you carrying unforgiveness? Do not let it remain and fester. It has the power to completely destroy your sense of peace and your ability to truly love others. It has the power to make you feel vulnerable and unsafe. You may feel that if you move on in your outer life that the old unforgiveness will disappear. This is not the way it works. You have to name the unforgiveness you still carry towards yourself and towards others before you can truly command it out of your energy field. You can be free of old unforgiveness but you must make that happen.

Most people have no idea that unforgiveness literally sets up house in your body. It affects your energy level, your immune system, your resilience, your overall health, your self perceptions, and your total well being. It is a powerful negative presence within. There is a type of blocked energy that I call spell energy that can remain in one’s soul for lifetimes.  Spell energy refers to energy that has been in your field for a spell of time in the past and though the circumstances around that energy may have changed, it remains energetically present in your energy field though perhaps not in your present awareness. Seek this unforgiveness out wherever it resides.

One more confounding truth is that unforgiveness can reside at the unconscious and supra-conscious (soul) levels for lifetimes. Therefore, if you do begin to clear for unforgiveness, use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol that will prompt you to call for healing at all levels of consciousness and through all lifetimes. One of the major reasons you get pricked again and again with unforgiveness is that you need to clear this for once and for all in your energy field to be free of attracting it again to yourself.  If you need to forgive yourself or another, your soul will place you in repeated situations where unforgiveness unfolds until you get that you have to heal this within yourself.

You are on a journey to peace whether you accept this or not. That is basically what we are doing here, trying to become more peaceful inside. Holding onto unforgiveness is not peaceful. It needs to go. Command all unforgiveness of self out of your field if you have the slightest hint of its presence within. If you suspect you carry this and do not know what it is about, enter into Silence and ask to be shown or guided to the unforgiveness you still carry.

I had some unresolved issues with a brother for years. I did not know it was unforgiveness. I asked about the imbalance in our relationship and was shown some deeply unkind things I had done to him as a child, totally forgotten by me. Those mean acts and their consequences were still within me and I had not forgiven myself for that treatment of my brother. When I did finally do the forgiveness work for me, I saw it expand to forgive his actions towards me, as well. Our relationship in present day totally changed. This journey awaits all of us but the seeking has to begin with you.

When you do decide to check in on unforgiveness, and figure out where that energy might be, use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol to help you include all the various strands that might accompany that unforgiveness for you. The Force is with you but you have to actualize it in your life for it to flourish.

Journeying to Peace

Did I come willingly seeking Divine Knowing?
Absolutely not
I came kicking and screaming
Furious and in severe pain

I came with profound anger, rage, and indignation
I came with pride and ego in unhealthy portions
I came with self-condemnation and judgement
I came broken beyond belief

I eventually gave Divine Source the time of day
The doors were astoundingly still open to me
In all my disillusionment and blame
In my self-created darkness, I could still enter

I was so full of rage it took years to clear the inner sources
Years to write out all of the furiousness of my existence
Seven years of daily digging up pain brought me to
Know I was eternally loved, warts and all

The warts were the point of this life
I was to look at all my issues, name them and cast them out
I was to work in partnership with Divine Beings
Those who had already done this and knew the way

This journey is available to all beings who seek
Ask and you shall receive
More than you can possibly imagine
We are here to journey within to Peace
