Arrive and Know IT Again for the First Time

beyond the stuffed spurious schedules
past all devastating trauma and unrelenting tension
there lies a space of openness and grace
awaiting your arrival in perfect timing

there is always an opening there for you
space to be, to listen, to hope, to dream
divine connection awaits your seeking
divine wisdom knows your name

you are accounted for with every breath of your being
every hair on your head is known to the Oneness
this begins at first birth and continues eternally
as you make your way through all life’s roadblocks

proactive effort can speed this along
setting down fears, doubts, and negative expectations
calling out the anger, blame, and self-flagellation,
clears up ancient imbalances, suffering, and pain

but simply showing up in a space where nothing is needed from you
begins to reignite the Sacred connection that has always been
even if you are depressed, feeling failure or in deep pain
there is respite in creating an opening for reaching beyond self

goodness, balance, abundance, and hope
await you through your inner journey to loving self
humor, joy, delight, and satisfaction
accompany the journey into inner peace

that is, after all the wailing and self blame
after all the soul crushing fear that you may not be enough
after all the amends have been faced and attended to
after all the woe, loss, and protection of self have softened

somehow though rather miraculously
just opening to Silence while seeking help
begins the journey to Wholeness
that awaits every single one of you

through every form you ever take
through every time you close yourself off
through every profound loss you have
through every soul devastating event you experience

the Oneness is always waiting and open to you
the still small voice of love and encouragement
never fades no matter how long we take
to arrive and know It again for the first time*

* From TS Eliot, The Four Quartets

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. “

Grief

How do we go on when we feel crippling grief? We sob and scream, cry and cry. We hide under our bed covers and hope when we awake from sleep, it will all have left. Life moves in grey colored tones. Every action feels like a huge effort. We walk through daily life without joy, peace or hope and that adds to the grief depression already with us. Who understands us? Who will help us? Where do we turn? Will we ever smile again? Will the deep sense of loss ever go away?

HELP US, we are lost.

Lost Tree, heavens' mourning by h.koppdelaney

Everything I thought about life has changed. The unspeakable deep sense of loss is so real, so deep. It hurts and keeps hurting. Is there anyone there? How can I go on? I don’t want this present I have now. I want the grief to leave me and the hurt to stop and the fear to disappear, now. I want the longing to stop. Who is running the show anyway? Why did this happen? How can I go on?

HELP ME Please, I am lost.

She is so distraught, she can’t eat. She is unable to sleep, for days she hasn’t slept. She is afraid of being alone now in the world. She is afraid of the world in which this grief is so overwhelming. She is a skeleton of herself. She is too sad to cry anymore, all the crying is gone and the only energy left is heartache.

He is imploding into numbness. His love has died. She was so vibrant and whole, so full of energy and vitality. How can she be gone, really gone? His heart is pining and raw. He can’t work, he can’t find any happiness, he walks and walks as if to get away from the feelings. When he returns, he lies all day on the couch with no energy to focus. The TV passes by in hours and no connection is made. He is lost to himself and to all of us.

HELP THEM, they are so lost.

********************************************************************************

Bring all your burdens to me. For I AM Perfect Love and I AM Perfect Balance and I AM Eternity, Joy, Forgiveness and Wholeness. I AM the Love, the Light and the Life Everlasting. I AM All That you truly seek. There is no other. AND SO IT IS.

********************************************************************************

How do we release the grief and sadness of loss, of regret, of un-forgiveness, of shame, of guilt and of depression? We begin in Stillness and Silence. WE MUST ASK Divine Presence to come to us in any way we can think of.

Calling in Healing Energy

Beloved God, I need help. I can’t continue with this grief and unbearable dark feelings of loss. I am so shut down. Come to me and clear this darkness away. I want to be joyful again but I don’t know how. I want to be whole again. I am so disconnected now.

Come to me, Divine Loving Power, I am in great need. I don’t know what to do. Healing Energy of the Universe, I call you to me, now. Move this grief. Show me joy again. Mend my heart, it is so broken. I am so deeply grateful.

Jesus, loving Presence. I need help and healing. I am so sad, lost and afraid I can’t go on. I don’t want to live this life with all this lost and grief. I miss __________ so much. I feel like part of my own being has left me. I feel un-whole and incapable of my own healing. I drag through the days and I am so deeply sad, I can’t speak of this. Come to me. I need help.

Ascended Masters, you know how to do this. You have been here, you know the grief, the darkness and the sadness here. I am being eaten up by these feelings. I can’t find my center, my balance. I can’t find my way. Help me heal. I am so utterly sad and lost. I am afraid. I feel unsafe.

Oh dear God. I am so lonely. My heart aches and aches and I can’t do anything else. Help me to find my way. I feel like I have nothing to live for. I am afraid of things I can’t name. Come Divine Grace, I open my heart to healing. Thank you.

If there is Perfect Love out there or in me, I need it. Come to help me heal. Thank you.

Sadness and grief is our right. We can feel it for as long and as deeply as we need to feel it. We can also let it go when we are ready. This is about how to get the help we need to let grief go. However, there are times when we need to simply feel the grief as humans. We need to shut out the world and be in grief.

Carrying grief however is not expected of us by some mythic “Board of Right Living”. We each have our own timing for how long we remain in a state of sadness and grief and what it looks like for us. And yet, it is really okay to set it all down, to release our heaviness and burdens to the Greater Loving Energy of the Universe. All the darkness can be handled there. It is fully okay to feel joy, delight and passion again after we have lost or after another has died.

floral tribute at Nerang by Leonard John Matthew

Send blessings to those who have left human life, to the ones who have suffered, and send blessings to yourself. Call in the help you need to embrace your path again. It will appear with new colors and new depth for you have loved, grieved and chosen to love again. All that is needed is provided WHEN we ask.

Bless us all as we ask for and receive the help that is waiting for us, after we have grieved what is.

Our Thanks, and So It Is.

Spirits Having a Human Experience (2/2)

See Part One

Spirits Having a Human Experience (1/2)

As we learn about ourselves as spiritual beings having a human experience, new perceptions of ourselves emerge. Here are some discoveries which have been helpful to me in my spiritual and human journey. Being both spiritual and human beings takes some attention and some sorting out regarding what our spiritual beings are capable of and how to live with this unseen potential we all possess.

Our energy field extends way beyond our physical bodies. We intuitively sense this. Have you ever been in a room with people and feel a compulsion towards some and an attraction towards others? This is energy connecting and repelling and this goes on all the time. In general though, we forget about such feelings or diminish their importance because we think of our physical bodies as our full selves.

As human beings, we mostly have very limited views of our energy’s scope and breadth. The more consciously aware we are of our connection with All That Is, the greater our energy extends beyond our bodies. The more time in Stillness and Silence, the more sense we have of our expansive selves. Some beings in body are even extending beyond this earthly dimension in their commitments to help bring Balance and Peace to others.

: Chakras by Robbi Baba

Some beings here have already ascended into the Light and they have chosen to consciously return to this dimension to be in service with others. In Sanscrit, these beings are known as the bodhisattva. This does not mean however that they do not have to move through the same stages of expanding consciousness again, while in body. Their process though may be easier, quicker and more dramatic as they have already taken those steps in other incarnations. This concept is found in the Buddhism.

The bodhisattva among us are those who can teach us of the namaste. Namaste is a state of being which in part refers to the Light of a spiritually aware person readily recognizing the light in another, thereby helping all humanity to remember our connection with All That Is. The words to one song about this are ” The Light in me beholds the Light in you”. This sums up namaste rather succinctly.

Fear, negativity, darkness and anger is created through our human selves and therefore can be released through our human desire to be free of these thoughts and feelings. Kindness, love, gratitude and appreciation is created through our connected spiritual selves which is eternally One With All That Is. Love is the only lasting energy of the Universe. All other energies we are passing through on the way to remembering our own true selves as spirit beings of the Light.

Religious practices and paths have some accurate takes on Divine Presence and some inaccurate takes on Divine Presence as well. Only a spiritually seeking person can discern between that which is of the Light and that which is not of the Light. This is our gift and responsibility. Discernment requires Silence and Stillness in rather large amounts so that we can hear our own still small voice of All That Is amidst the noise of our human existence.

: Oneness by h.koppdelaney

We are eternally connect to All That Is, though we have to seek ways to discover this every time we are in body. Further, there is no requirement that we must discover this connection while in body. We can choose to live our lives in any way we want to. All our choices however have consequences. If we create and nurture imbalance, imbalance will manifest in our bodies and our lives. If we create and nurture balance, balance will manifest in our bodies and our lives.

There are wide ranging terms for Divine Presence, including God, The Great I AM, All That Is, Divine Oneness, Great Creator, Yahweh, Allah, Elohim, Allaha, The Almighty, Lord, The Holy Spirit, etc. Further, Divine Presence is available to us in a myriad of energy forms including Angels, Archangels, Angelic Host, Ascended Masters, Divine Cosmic Light Beings, Nature Intelligences, Divine Ancestors and Divine Physicians, to name a few. This Energy is available to all beings as we become increasingly conscious of these differentiated forms of Divine Presence.

All humans are eternally connected to All That Is even if we do not know this and even if we choose anger, violence or abuse in our human lives. We can never be separated from the Love of All That Is. However our human choices for imbalance in our lives can feel like we are separated from Divine Love, because when we can’t see that spark of Divinity within ourselves, so we have no way to know of the Divine Love that is all around us and within us. This Divine Presence can become invisible to us if we choose imbalance as a way of living.

Choose Love. Choose to believe in the goodness and power of Light within yourself. Choose to see the the wholeness that you are and forgive the imbalance, the lapse in love actions and the judgements along the way. Choose the path of Joy, Delight, Balance and Creativity for then you are as close to Divine Energy as is possible in our human dimension. Gift yourself with Stillness and Silence for there is a world of loving wholeness awaiting you every time you step into your spirit energy.
