Thoughts on Power: repost

Never Mistake aggression for Power;

One that is Rooted Firmly Within

will Never be Broken by outside force

nor should fear those that Feign a power

they neither understand nor embody.

On Grief

Let your grief be as a warm blanket passed down through many generations of those that also have weathered this storm and added to this rich weave the thread of their own survival;

As the icy winter gale wails and thrashes and moans about you, a mirror to all that you have locked within, allow the weight of this blanket to anchor you to the world you fear is being torn away from beneath you;

Find the assurance within the thick wrapping of so many common threads, that even though you now feel threatened within every fiber of your being by the storm that rages on both around you and within you, you will indeed survive this tempest to meet with a new dawn;

Though you may emerge from this period bearing the bruises of the gale that engulfed you, homage to the truth of your ordeal, you will add your own thread of wisdom, born of your companionship with grief, to the ageless blanket that shall be lovingly availed to the next whom finds themselves in need of it.

Webs once Spun come Undone

The Webs once Spun;

I have seen Undone

yet damage not their Spinners

To glorious Queens of this Autumn Age

a Litany offered before grand display

of these finest silver woven wonders

With respect made plain;

a last delicate tendril lifted from furled brow

considerate of entanglement lessons gleaned

I am free; I Am Free!

no longer these mortal webs shall encumber me

and though I loathe not

those that sought to bind

be mindful we no more shall meet

lest it be sincerely understood

the Merry Part offering

 of our Sacred greet.

Thoughts on the Maintenance of Structures; Personal & Societal

Everything that exists undergoes strength testing from time to time.

Foundations built erroneously must be repaired and/or replaced.

Neglect to do so results in collapse.

When Spirit Speaks: Utilizing Discernment when receiving Messages/Messengers

This is a repost of an item I wrote around 2007. I have not altered it from its original form so it may be “dated” I suppose. I think it may be of value to someone now. Be Well! 

***

Note of Context of This Writing:

For a brief period I visited online spirituality-based communities, and for an even briefer period, I was a moderator at one of these communities.  During the time frame I was participating in these communities, there was frequent, sometimes heated debate over what did, and did not, constitute a “Channeled” message. Also of frequent argument was the value of the message, the validity of the channeler and the identity of the source of the channeled message.

I do not wish to share my viewpoints per se, on the worth or validity of those that acknowledge themselves as spiritual channels, nor of the materials they share with the public. I feel that each soul walks his/her path in the way that is perfectly appropriate for he/she, and I can only be discerning for myself, of that which I partake of, and that which I do not.

“When Spirit Speaks…” was the answer I received from my inner guidance while observing and musing over the discord in the communities I visited concerning Channelings.

When Spirit Speaks: Utilizing Discernment when receiving Messages/Messengers

The Brilliance of Photographer Elena Kalis http://www.elenakalisphoto.com/#

When Spirit speaks..
There is a crystal clarity imparted
A message that rings True and Clear.

Spirit has no need nor desire to speak in riddles or codes
Cryptic messages are designed by man not by Spirit.

A true messenger of Spirit does not seek to confuse those they aid by veiling information or weaving mystery into that which they convey.

When we ask Spirit for clarity for assistance on our journey
we are always provided a “teacher” that we can resonate with and understand.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an act of completion; it is the acknowledgement of a lesson learned.

The act of Forgiveness is Grace, a blessing, for through it you release yourself and an other(s) from further consequence in regard to the previously offending situation.

True Forgiveness, not forgiveness offered through words only, occurs when the previous situation of issue no longer holds an emotional charge.

It is from our emotional base that we act and/or react.

Being actionary is an Empowered State of Being whereas being reactionary is a dis-empowered state of being.

When a situation no longer incites you to react you have reached the point of Forgiveness.

Grace is Available for All whom Choose it; the Choosing is in the Offering.

Be Well!

Accepting Loss as Gain

Paraphrasing Florence Scovel Shinn on the subject of loss:

We can only lose that which is not ours by Divine Right or that which is not good enough for us. 

Bless what and whom leaves your life knowing that you shall receive equal, or better, in return.

Thank you Florence! ♥

Be Well!

Thoughts on The What-Why-How of our “Crisis”

I follow Marianne Williamson on twitter.

A stream of her thoughts today prompted this meditation:

 

The call to accountability, personal & collective, is unmistakable.

A testing of a willingness to sacrifice on the personal level for the wellness of the whole is also evident.

There is Grace for those whom choose it; the choosing is in the offering.

Be Well!

Thoughts on Power

It’s a myth that we need to “take back our power”.

The Truth is that we need to Cease Giving Our Power Away.

Be Well!
