“The sun,--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man--burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray.” ~Charles Dickens, 'Oliver Twist'
II have always considered myself a very open-minded person.
My spirit has always been open to receive any truth that is out there, in any forms it's in.
I wasn't raised with religion, I was raised with an open world-view of life from the standpoint of a mere broken human.
Jesus was not sent to Earth to start a religion, He came to Earth to walk amongst us, And to send a message of Divine love.
And that is what I have tapped into and connected to in the Christian "religion"
But ever since I turned 30.. I am beginning to tap into greater things in our universe. and I think my mind is finally ready to welcome them...
stay with me.
I have been told since I was a little girl that I had strong Faith.
I have never really understood what that has meant but if the word Faith wasn't tied to a religion I believe it would just translate to mere Spirituality..
And am I a VERY spiritual person? YES.
I am a very empathic person, a very intuitive person, a very prophetic person, a very loving person.
I have also come to discover that I identify a lot with the Sun. In fact, cosmically speaking, I think the Sun would exemplify me the most.
I am warm
I give off Energy
I am often called Sunshine
I am often told Sunflowers remind people of me.
Sunflowers and Yellow are incidentally my favorite flowers and color.
When I connect with someone spiritually they tend to get hot. Sometimes sweaty even.
I have recently met the moon to my sun. I have befriended a soul that matches mine. I have met a person who has awoken the magic that was tucked away so deep inside of me, who has added a piece to my puzzle and has brought me one step closer to whole.
I have been thinking a lot about "God" lately I put God in quotations because it is just an arbitrary term we use to define the Benevolent Force that created us. I believe pro verbally in the fact that we are God breathed dust. That we are all created from the same elements that created everything. We all came from proverbial Nothingness to existence and to claim this just happened in a big bang is simplifying it so obscenely that we just can't grasp how much bigger everything around our existence is.
religion puts God in a box. The bible and other spiritual texts put spirituality in a box.
I think we all need to accept that we wont know everything. Our lifelong quests for knowledge will never end in divine knowing of what is right and what is wrong or why we're here or any of it.
The fact is. We are here.
and there is a reason.
and love is the answer.
I am pretty damn sure.
My friend was telling me about an interaction she had with a medium recently, she says through the medium she spoke to her mother, she says it sounded like her, the verbiage, the pace of conversation, the mannerisms, they were her.. talking to her. She says her mother was a devout christian in her life,. up until her untimely demise. My friend said her mother was happy, that she kept saying that where she was was so incredible, that she could do things she couldn't do where we are. That she is in a good place where she can talk to her family, she says her mother kept saying, "I can't believe I can talk to you, this is so cool" She also told her about what her sons are experiencing, and why certain people in her family are acting a certain way, very specific stuff. And I can't help but believe that there are some of us on this Earth that can definitely tap into "the beyond" the other side of existence. My friend said her mother told her that some people get sent back to Earth to do it all over again if they don't get it right the first time, she said she had done good and was in a good place and that she had graduated to a good place. Her mother never mentioned the biblical definition of heaven and God, which brings me to the point that I think Christianity and any basic religion is a simplification of one revelation translating into an entire manuscript of a much LARGER story.
Energy does not die. Einstein proved that. So when our souls; our energy are released from their bodily tomb where do they go?
I believe in angel guides, guardian angels.. I used to talk to mine all the time when I was a little girl. I was often lonely, being an only child who was bullied in school, I took to having "imaginary friends" I didn't actually imagine anyone though, like they show in cartoons and such.. I just used to have conversations all the time, out loud, with whatever energy was present in my room.
I used to meditate as a child. I used to sink inside my mind so deep that I could float outside my body.
I can feel everything.
and my intuition and power are only growing now that I am older.
I feel I am tapping into them stronger now more than ever.
I believe answers come to us in so many different ways
and there truly is magic wherever one looks for it.
I believe if something feels right, or true. you should honor it,
be it a thought, a feeling, a premonition...
I believe that there is energy, healing energy in all things, we have scientifically proven this about plants and minerals, so who is to say the moon that controls the tides of the Earth doesn't have some kind of effect on us? or that crystals can't heal you? or that they can't get energy from the cosmos?
Who is to say the position of the planets doesn't effect us? We are all emotional creatures, and I believe the benevolent life force that we all make up is an emotional being. and everything is connected and we are all one.
This Abba, father, God, Yahweh, and all the other biblical and spiritual names we have for our creator is greater and broader than any of our small minds can comprehend.
God by definition is an Alien, He/she/it is a benevelont force different from us, Greater than us, Unknown by us.
and we will never have answers
and it will be OK.
If you are feeling downtrodden and confused, lost, alone, those feelings are justified, we don't belong here. This was not our intended place, the state of existence as it is on this planet is atrocious. We are all broken, we are all searching, yearning, for love, acceptance, understanding, truth. And it is out there, and it is FOR YOU. and You are NEVER ALONE. We need to stop looking towards things that empty us and look at everything before us for elements that fill us up. What makes you come alive? is it music? being in nature? Creating something? talking to someone? writing? what is it? find your hearts desire and pursue that. Honor that. and LISTEN TO IT.
I find the more we love one another, the closer we are to the divine and each other, we belong to each other, that's what Mother Theresa would say, and she was tapped into this benevolent force far stronger than most of us will allow ourselves to.
Love is the answer.
the end.
Oh benevolent God, Creator of our souls, creator of everything, I pray for truth to rain down on us and love to pour out of us, so that we can continue to heal one another and come closer to you, closer to the way. Thank you for never forsaking us, and for opening doors and windows when we feel stifled in myth. continue to allow me to tap into my spiritual strengths and let me shed truth in love to all I encounter. Amen.
