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.

Point of Choice: Aquarius Full Moon 8.03.2020

The Aquarius Full Moon occurs at 12:00PM EDT on August 3rd, 2020 @ 12º Aquarius/Leo.

Specifics of note: The lunation is just separating from a square to Uranus in Taurus; the void of the T-Square formed is in Scorpio. Saturn & Uranus are rulers of the Moon, Sun is in it’s own Sign. Rulers of Scorpio, Mars and Pluto, are applying square with involvement from Jupiter and Saturn. Much more going on but that is suitable to note for my jumping off point.

Personal Note: I was meditating upon this lunation and when the inspiration fully realized it came forth in a torrent on Twitter. I am posting the entirety of that stream here without edit so please note that it’s original formatting was “tweets”.  I am quite busy, as are we all, and I need to economize my time but wanted to address the full moon. Hoping the post is easily digestible. Be Well!

I was neither born into, nor raised within, an environment of stability or kindness. I had no positive authority figures, no leaders I could trust. To survive I had to acknowledge that those that were “charged” with my well-being had no intentions of fulfilling their duties.

To survive I had to see that my abusive authority figures never had any intention of fulfilling any of their promises to me. I learned that it was never really about who I was or wasn’t, what I did or didn’t do, what I said or didn’t say.

I learned that to continue to have expectations of individuals that are abusive to you is welcoming more abuse. Expecting such people to change is a waste of time. They may or they may not. When you’re life is in the balance I suggest not playing the odds on that one.

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.

Tools for Self Empowerment Development: Polarity Consciousness

Our reality on this planet is primarily polarity oriented. The polarity here in the U.S. is evident and very easy to view at this time.

Basic examples of polarity: Victim-Abuser , Loser-Winner, Wrong-Right, Fake-Real, Left-Right.

When we identify with one side of the pole, for example victim, someone or something else must fill the role of abuser.

Thoughts on “Necessary Evil”

There is no such thing as a “necessary evil”.

“Necessary” implies there is only one choice.

There is always more than one option; even if that option seems unpalatable.

“Evil” acts are acts of purpose.

The doer(s) have made a choice.

Thoughts on Covid-19- A Call to Compassion

In the midst of all the chaos, divisiveness, gas-lighting and subversion currently enveloping the U.S. there is one thing I believe deeply and continually center myself within.

I believe Covid-19 is a call to compassion.

It is a call to release the need to be right.

It is a call to release the need to be the winner.

I feel that this call asks me to suspend all personal leanings and beliefs that would prevent my extending genuine kindness and compassion to any, and all, that are suffering directly and/or indirectly due to Covid 19.

I feel this call to compassion does not require me to surrender my personal freedom; it merely invites me to reevaluate where I believe my personal well-being does or does not foster the well-being of my neighbor/nation/humanity.

Covid 19 has proven to me that we do not always need to “be in the know” to do the right thing.

I accept that I may never be able to make any sense out of the numbers or the multitude of opinions.

I release the need to know in favor of embracing and extending compassion.

I am truly sorry for the many that are in pain.

I am truly sorry that those that are suffering must experience their challenges and grief with so much adversity.

You deserve better.

I wish all of you a gentler, kinder and more peaceful recovery in the days ahead.

I wish this for myself as well; and also for those that don’t seem to hear the same call that I do.

Forgiveness, Compassion and Understanding :Meditative Thoughts Re-post

Forgiveness comes forth through Compassion.

Compassion is born of Understanding.

To truly forgive one’s self, or an other, one must have an understanding of how one has been served by an experience in which forgiveness is now sought.

Forgiveness is not an act of granting approval to one’s self or an other for an action that was harmful in some manner.

Forgiveness is an act of Completion.

Forgiveness is the act of releasing oneself from a lesson, now achieved.

Thoughts on Power, Projected Identification (ie. racial slurs) & Right Relationship

An empowered individual never feels the need to “identify” another (ie. using racial slurs toward an individual or larger entity). The need to place labels upon another stems from a lack of knowing oneself.

This practice of projected identifying is engaged by an individual that has little knowledge of their own core-being.

While possibly being a beneficial practice engaged by toddlers and youth, in their quest to individualize, projected identifying is not a constructive behavior in those beyond early developmental stages.

When demonstrated by an individual of advancing physical age this behavior likely represents a severely underdeveloped and/or misaligned psyche. An individual with such an underdeveloped sense of self has likely not developed the emotional body sufficiently enough to have any meaningful sociable manners and skills. A lack of the development of these skills correlates directly to the inability to empathize with the plight of any other and negates the forming of meaningful relationships.
