RISING DEEP
At the end of the Ascension article for March 11, I left you with a question:
"How conscious may we become?"
So do you have a minute? :-)
Free will is a gift and a learning device for us to use on our human adventure. Of course you know that already. But do you know how this tool becomes manifest in our daily experience? It is an interesting phenomenon, this LIFE...where we are posed with questions, ideas, choices...every where we turn. And even within our minds and hearts...apart from the world at large, we are constantly given opportunities to choose...and then to choose again. Each response to every new moment is an opportunity for choice. A new perspective. A new IDEA.
If we find ourselves in the same or similar predicaments, over and over again...as if we were repeating some unfriendly pattern...that will just not let up...perhaps it is time to consider that we just have not chosen from the depth of BEing, yet. That the reasons why repeated patterns keep haunting us like ghosts from our past...is that we have been unwilling to touch the level of consciousness at our core...the place where finally...one new choice could help to weave an entirely new chapter...within this story of our lives.
But we are humans and we learn this way. Bit by bit, layer by layer. And every different arena in our lives...has it's own set of layers...issues...choices.
It takes time...to humanize the LIGHT!
What is it that you have not looked at yet? What is it that you think you really HAVE done already...not understanding at all, that the reoccurring design keeps spiraling back to you because there is within that particular issue...a level... you have not addressed yet?
Remember, after all...everything that we have experienced thus far, has served us well. No matter what it is..even a seeming "failure"...has the potential to be one more lesson in remembering who we are.
Every little event, adventure, twist in the tapestry of lives... has been there for a reason...and it has not been a mistake. Therefore, our continual re-choosing is a necessary step on our path. Some of you have heard me say this before...
You cannot really skip steps on this path, because the path will catch up to YOU!
So...denial or avoidance, whether it be conscious or not..is an "illusion" of control!
Wherever we step...THERE we are!
So now you have a heartfelt urge to finally, once and for all..step lightly but fully.
And maybe even find a way to blast those boulders you have been stumbling over, on your path....away. Sometimes though, those boulders are not as stubborn as we think. And with the sincere willingness to dive into deeper levels of your SELF......and move through them.... not just creatively navigate around them...those boulders, turn into rocks... what may appear to be rocks blocking your path....when diving to an even deeper state of willingness...all of a sudden are stones on the road. Taking on a new perspective or consciousness as you navigate your way through the depth of you being... they begin to simply disintegrate...blow away... away...like bubbles. Only bubbles created by our own Resistance is what keeps us seemingly separated from our essence.
it might take you some time..to actually get from BOULDER to BUBBLE...
but what else are you doing? This is why we are here...
to REAL-EYES...the TRUTH about life...spirit...SELF.
What bubbles have you mistaken for boulders? It might take you some time to get from one to other..but, what else are you doing, anyway?
Respect the process...it is divine.
This is why you are here.
To REAL-eyes..YOUR truth. Bit by bit...
layer by layer.
Just a little willingness to see more clearly, hear more fully and dive deeply...takes you a long, long, way...back...to where you began. And it is only in that deep place...where healing and growth can occur. Only to resurface...breathing new air...new consciousness.
In that way you are truly born again.

End of rambling for today...check out this music/video from the movie: "CRASH". I loved this movie, but ...if you are feeling a little sensitive, you might not want to watch the trailer. In that case...just close your eyes and listen. The audio is clear and her voice and lyrics are lovely.
