Looking Inward

Why look inward?

Discover the real you, your connection to your soul. We are all pure love, peace and pure light! We chose to be here and chose our paths and our soul is so much more than we can imagine, connected to our higher self (soul) by a silvery silk-like thread. It is a thread that allows communication with our higher soul.  Are we always connect to our higher soul? Yes, we are, but we do not always choose to do what our soul guides us with because we have free will and may choose to not listen. Not listening makes our journey more difficult until we choose to listen and walk the path for our highest good. This thread that links us to our higher soul does not  break from this body until we pass on. Why do I say pass on and not die? Our soul does not die. Passing on is what happens to us when our body expires. Our soul doesn't die it simply passes on to the next dimension we are ready for or the next experience we choose. We are all creative intelligence and can create what we want and what we think. The more positive our thoughts the better our life will seem to us. It is as simple as what my mother used to say, "You can create your own heaven or your own hell right here on Earth." If we ask we will receive what we ask for. God is the universe and supplies us with all we need. You ask what about the needy, broken, and poor and I say give. Even if it seems that they don't ask. Even if it seems they choose to suffer, give. That is a lesson. If we give then they receive and the more people that share and give then the more balanced the world becomes. We are divine beings and if we look inside and choose to live that then we share our divine love.

We are not this earthly body, but a powerful being of light and love with a sliver of a  connection to this body. Many of us are waiting to wake up and discover our true potential. We can change anything we want to change, create peace, defeat fear and hunger. We are not what people say to us, we are not what we fear, we are not the rules and restrictions we have imposed on us by our families and society. We are who we choose to be here on Earth plane and yet our souls are pure love. We have selected our lessons, our goals and made a plan that is intertwined within other plans. Everything is a part of a larger picture, from the electrons and protons of our atoms, to our matter, to our cells, to our bodies, to our planet, to our solar system, to our galaxy to our universe and finally to God. We are All divine beings, we are All part of God and God is part of Us. And while God may have different names in each belief system there is One God. We are ONE with GOD.

Of Dreaming and Groundhogs

Early this morning as I lay dreaming a groundhog come to me in the dream. I cannot remember much else other than him coming to me several times during the dream. I took this to mean that the groundhog would be the subject of my next animal totem drawing and then I read his meaning. Now I am not so sure that that is the only reason. The groundhog totem is the symbol of opening fully to the dreamtime and of exploring altered states of consciousness more fully. Dreams will have great significance and how to go into unconsciousness without harm. Lessons associated with death, dying and its processes will begin to surface. The groundhog can teach people about metabolic control.

You are being asked to explore altered states of consciousness deeper. The answers are within you – however you just have not dug deep enough to find the root of it. Groundhog can also be letting you know that you need to pay attention to your metabolism. Be aware of how your diet influences your natural bodies cycles and to make dietary adjustments to balance the workings of your body.

I have had some significant and strange dreams in the past year and I am fully capable of knowing I am dreaming and may exit the dream at will. My new dreams are often strangely realistic and rarely the bizarre hodgepodge of assorted thoughts from earlier times but more like living another life. I can spend significant time between dreaming and waking where my mind seems to be in a calm and peaceful state. So I am curious now is groundhog is here to teach me about dreams on my journey down my path? I believe the answer is yes!

 

It Is All About Listening - Revised

Today I sat wondering what I should draw next in my animal totem series. Suddenly I heard "walrus." I thought to myself, "Really a walrus, What on earth for? are you serious?" Again came the word "walrus." I was a bit confused and asked why not a fox or goat? I heard the voice  insist that it must be a walrus that I draw first. Then it would be okay to draw a goat and a fox after the walrus was finished. So tomorrow I begin my walrus totem drawing. When Spirit speaks I am learning to listen. Once I made a list of animals to draw I got a request for a drawing for someone I know. I just love the Divine!

Well, The walrus is done and I am content with him. I am so excited to see who the walrus will belong to!

The Water Molecule Story: How We Are All Interconnected. Part one

When the molecule of water first became aware he was residing in the body belonging to a beautiful soul. The water molecule could not see the body of the souls but knew he was one with her. As she held her child she had given birth to for the first time and thanked God for her, the water molecule was released from her tear duct and streamed with many other molecules down her cheek falling onto her baby's blanket. He still felt safe because he was surrounded by many other molecules and knew there was safety in numbers. The water molecule was confused at first for he had been with her body many years before he worked his way into her tear duct. In fact he had forgotten that at one time he had been in a handful of stream water she had drank as a child.

He became scared when one by one the other molecules around him began disappearing into thin air. He wondered where they went and shook with his fear. Suddenly he was free, free of his fear and floating in the air. He saw the other water molecules floating freely in the air zipping around joyously. So intense was their joy that he forgot his fear and joined them. He watched the woman hold her baby and felt the love she had for the small being she held and it made him happy. The air unit came on at the hospital and he watched the woman and baby get smaller and smaller as he got further away. He and many other molecules went through the ductwork and were released outside into the bright sunlight.

The water molecule hovered over the grass near the hospital and could see other molecules joining him. The sun was hot and drew him upward with millions of other water molecules. As they rose higher and higher the began to cool and so they began to collect together until they became a cloud. At first the cloud was light and airy and the water molecule could see the earth below and marveled at all the greens of the plants. More and more water molecules joined him in the cloud and the cloud became large, dark, heavy and way too crowded. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. The hot air mass that the cloud was in, had met with a cooler air mass and water molecules joined together to fall as rain drops. He joined with many other molecules and fell with them when it was their turn.

As they plummeted to Earth he wondered if it would be painful when he hit. Upon impact he had no pain and simply slid into the liquid that was the puddle in a field to be surrounded by his friends realizing that his fear had been unwarranted. Other molecules were in the puddle with the water molecules making the water appear muddy and opaque. Slowly he felt the pull of gravity sucking him down into the soil with many other water molecules. He stayed in the dark soil for a short while.

He noticed something huge and white moving towards him and watched as the tube sucked up other water molecules around him. They rose up a long tube and were fed into the leaves of a plant. He found a place to hid and watched his friends one by one serve their purpose. Some of his friends became partners with chlorophyll and made food for the plant, others were given of as part of transpiration at night. He stayed in the plant for a growing season and soon became a part of a caterpillar as it munched on the plant's leaves. Inside the caterpillar he joined other water molecules from the leaf and they were distributed throughout the caterpillar's body. His group of molecules went into the caterpillar's circulatory system where they remained until the caterpillar morphed into a butterfly.

The butterfly floated from flower to flower sucking up nectar. Finally it was time for her to lay eggs and she found a spot to release the eggs onto a suitable safe plant.

Long Ago - An Excerpt part 2

Runs-Like-A-Deer gently woke Janie up early one morning while it was still very dark outside. He had sneaked in to the rectangular hut the embers were glowing from the fire. He had stirred the embers  and small flames were beginning to flicker as he put on new wood. He put his finger over his lips to silence her before she spoke and motioned her to follow him. she crawled out from under her furs wondering why he was there so early. She grabbed her moccasins, tip-toed past her adoptive mother and sisters and followed him from her home.

He led her away from the village using a large stick wrapped in hide and soaked in bear-fat for a torch. Janie was silent as they walked and wondered what Runs-Like-A-Deer was up to. He led her through the forest on a narrow uphill path for miles as the sky slowly began to lighten. Finally the thick forest gave way to open rocky ground and he led her to the edge of the rocks that overlooked a small river. It was the same small river that flowed past their village she could see far below to her right in the distance. Runs-Like-A-Deer sat on a large flat topped rock and patted the ground for her to sit beside him still saying nothing. Janie sat down right next to him with a few inches between them curious as to the purpose of their adventure. She wondered how angry Grey Dove would be when she woke up that she wasn't there to help with her little sisters and the chores . Nothing was said for a long time and she listened to the sounds of the river burbling far below them and the birds singing as she  stared out across the open space toward the East.

Finally Runs-Like-A-Deer turned towards Janie just as the sun broke the horizon sending out shafts of warm golden light across the sky and landscape. As the sun's golden light hit Janie's face a small humming bird flew up to Janie and hovered for a moment looking at her before flying away. Then Runs-Like-A-Deer spoke softly asking Janie to be his wife. Janie smiled knowing that the hummingbird had been a good sign and knowing it was time to let go of her past hurts and be free. She turned to him nodding her acceptance before kissing his lips softly.

Thoughts of Thankfulness

Today is a beautiful day. I am alive and healing. I am grateful for all those that love me and all that I have. I am at peace. The sky is a perfect blue and speckled with fluffy white clouds. The sun is shining and feeding the trees, flowers and other plants. the birds are singing as a gentle breeze blows. I am blessed and I am loved.
