Things I want my son to know

In thinking about my relationship to parenting I found myself seeking to articulate the essence of what I wanted to achieve as a mother for my child.


Having recognised my inconsistencies in bringing my spirituality to bear on my role as a parent, I also realised that the soul part of me was and is yearning to communicate some soul truths to my child. Ultimately my frustration with myself about not being in the light as a parent is not about me but about what he may miss out on if I don't get my act together.


These are the things I want him to know and experience everyday:


That he is dearly loved


That he is a precious and connected part of all that is, and to think of the trees as his brothers is a perfect way to get to know his own true nature


That the Universe is benevolent - there is neither good nor bad but different concentrations of light (sometimes so little light that it might look like the dark) in the world, and 


That he can actively choose to hold more or less light around him just by focusing his intention and actions. The Universe doesn't judge it merely serves.


That life on this planet is sacred and finite and thus should be enJOYed. Being in tune with the natural rhythm of the day, honouring the sunrise and the sunset, making a peaceful time to eat and to sleep, witnessing the cycles of the moon, the changing of the seasons, are just some of the wonderful ways to embrace this reverence for life.


That everything is energy and the imagination is the key to experiencing this, for what can be seen in the mind's eye is as powerful as what is witnessed with the eyes.


And finally, that nothing is ever out of place. It is unfolding just as it is meant to. Know this and you can deeply relax into the warm embrace of the ever loving Universe.




In the next part of this series I will post some of the ways in which I can bring this knowledge into daily, ritualised, playful experience. Stay tuned...

Full Super-moon coming

Plan for the advent of the full moon (Sunday 20th March) with a Releasing Ceremony or Meditation. The full moon draws out all that you desire to release. Transform your cellular consciousness by letting go and surrendering all that no longer serves you.

Write a list of all that you now choose to give up and at the time of the full moon, meditate on its release from every cell in your body. This frees up room for pure light to enter your being and fill you up. The light lifts you, raises you above the mundane and frees you to be all that you are.

Be free of the heavy energy that has suffocated your journey. Feel the lightness of your being as you move into rememberance of you.

Divine Sight - Part One

Raise your eyes to look at the world in Divine Light. Look at the world through Divine Sight.

This means going inward. This means turning your eyes away from your reality in order to truly see it.

This means going within to know the true order of things.

Life must be stepped away from in order to be truly embraced. The eyes must be blinded in order to truly see. You cannot see the storm when you are in it. You cannot explore your reality from the place of struggle.

Move away from the very thing that ails you. It is struggle that begets struggle.

It is pain that begets pain. Release yourself from that cycle and move within.

Move your vision to your Divine Sight. All you need know is there, is here.

Here is the place of true wisdom and insight.

Look with God's eyes -

Look at the world with the third eye -

True sight -

Insight-

Hidden knowledge that now must be revealed.

This is how you must live your life,

from this point forward.

From the place of Divine Knowing,

which shall release all uncertainty.

You have a powerful destiny

You feel you lack a destiny so you do nothing. You believe it is fine to do nothing for you are not the chosen one - you were not born a king or a queen, so why struggle to be anything more then the small, insignificant being that you are? How comforting it is when we watch films or read books in which the heroine discovers that she indeed has a destiny, shares a special connection with some higher power that has secretly been guiding her path all along. What bliss to know there is some reason, some purpose to life!

But you look on, separate from that destiny, unaware of the magnificent blueprint you carry in your very being.

If only you could be awoken to your divine destiny this second, this minute! You are the chosen one!

You are the precious child of God sent forth to fulfil the most magnificent of all destinies and in so doing raise the very Earth to the status of Heaven.

You are here with the exceptional task of bringing Heaven to Earth, to know yourself as the bringer of Heaven, to lead all people into the light. This is your special destiny, written in the very core of your being - and you know it!

And yet you turn your back on it, you disbelieve it, you doubt everything about it for the simple reason that this is the destiny of every single being on the planet. How can it be special, how can it be your destiny if it belongs to all? In fact, the very future of humanity depends on every person knowing this truth and living it.

But the illusion of separation clings tightly to humanity - you have been taught to love through fear; you have been taught that what is good for another means you miss out. You have been taught to distrust, be suspicious, feel vulnerable, to doubt that there are enough good things for everyone. One destiny cannot be the same as another because then it is less valuable, or someone else will get there first and you will not be so special - you believe this in all your human fear and foolishness.

Be grateful that others are aware for they are forging the path for you. Be grateful for your awareness for you are the guiding light for others even if you do not know it!

Release the illusion of separation. You are united. There is only one planet Earth and only one life upon it. It is your life. And your life is the most precious and magnificent gift that ever was, for every being upon the earth must know the truth that you are now awakening to for the destiny of life to be fulfilled. Your destiny determines the life of the planet, the universe, the stars, all humanity. Your actions determine the fate of the world.

You are the One, the only One. Do not doubt your power or your worth. Go forth boldly, in full awareness of your awesome destiny and bring forth the new Heaven and the new Earth. You are chosen, from the moment of your birth and your destiny is waiting to be fulfilled.

Bring the light forth. It is your reason for being.

All that you seek is within

Are you listening to your intuition? Are you allowing yourself to be guided? You have a remarkable gift, as does every human being. Are you even aware of it? Do you live your life by it, or do you find this voice, this wisdom from your own divine nature, easy to ignore?

You possess all that you need to make this human journey move with ease and grace, to understand the events of your life, to know when and how to act. The confusion is a choice. You live uneasy and unaware by choice. Ask and it shall be given. Turn your attention to your own divine nature, the source of your truth, the source of light, and there you will find it. No longer do you, nor have you ever required anything outside of yourself.

All the answers you seek are within, and what is more startling is that you are aware of this but it is so easy to turn away from the insight and wisdom you possess inside. And the reason why is simple. If you allow this voice, this guidance to guide your life even for a moment, you will no longer be able to ignore it. And this divine aspect of you, the you that is true, does not accept half measures or fear. The surrender is far more than most people believe themselves capable of. The fear will tell you all sorts of things to stop you from having faith in yourself.

For this is where the faith must reside. Know yourself through silence, through emptiness, so that when the voice of your soul offers its direction you are able to know it as truth. Fear will trick you, tell you a hundred different things, tell you you are foolish and unwise and flaky and unsafe. But the voice that is you, that is God, is a million times clearer. It is the voice of pure light.

So ensure you move ever closer to yourself in your actions. Bring yourself into full awareness of your being, learn the difference between the voice of fear and the voice of truth, and place your faith within. This is your temple, this is your greatest gift and your truest purpose.

Know thyself. And in so doing you will know God.

Clear Sight

Don't be afraid of the light. Do not turn your eyes away from it. You think that would be the last thing you would do - to consciously resist the light of God - but you are doing it all the time.

Why?

The light, which is your pure substance, which is you shining back at you, ILLUMINATES! 'Yes, this is what light does', you think. 'I am not afraid of it'. And yet you turn consciously, constantly away from your own divine nature, from the light within, from the love of God.

This is because you would then look upon the world in the fullness of the light, with CLEAR SIGHT! No more illusion, no more comforting distractions, no more dark corners to hide your fear and your pain away in, no more justification for hiding your divine truth.

How many times do you resist the truth because you claim you cannot see it? 'I don't know why this always happens to me', 'I don't know why my patterns are repeated, my mistakes' etc etc. You go on and on hiding form yourself, because to see in the fullness of the light would be a disaster for your little selves. Light dispels the darkness from within. No more little you, no more drawn out excuses for being less than you are.

Let go of the darkness! Crawl out from the shadows. Draw the light towards you with boldness and strength and abandon the dark corners of your mind for the love of God, which is you, which is light, which is love.

You are capable of this in an instant. You only need ask.

'God, I invite the light into every part of my life, every cell of my being, every beat of my heart. Lord God, I ask that the light illuminate my soul.'

And it is done! The veil is lifted. You see yourself as the magnificent being that you already are, no more or less than that. The miracle is clear sight, is Light.

Now is where the work begins. For that sight is easily squandered and the veil waits eagerly to return. You must have the courage to meditate upon the light, to sustain your vision, to know your truth, to behold the full beauty of you in your true state. You must live with courage and release your excuses for being less than you are. Can you do it? Can you acknowledge that you are hindered by nothing but your own unwillingness to shine at all times?

You are perfect. You are the light of God, unblemished, untarnished, whole, complete, ready now in this very instant.

Let it go.

Let the rest go and breath the light of the Lord into your being.

In so doing you are doing nothing more than breathing, in full consciousness, your own breath.

Be filled with light.

Remember who you are.

I am Divine

Do not live as though your heart is a wound waiting to be hurt.

Instead, see your heart as an object of replenishment and renewal for yourself and the whole world. Then, you cannot wander around as a victim for you know it is your heart’s task to restore the world to a place of divine love, to live as a reminder of that love to everyone you meet.

How can you fulfil this sacred task when you behave as though you have been wounded and damaged by life? You cannot. And no wound inflicted by one person to another is greater than the totality of God’s love. Of this, there is no greater truth.

So acknowledge, ‘I am divine,’ and heal the little human wounds and move into your heart, your God heart, and heal the rest of the world with your love.

And so it is.
