Lesson 251: If You Are In the Midst of...

When we are going through a spiritual awakening, it’s new and not always forthcoming. You can be roaming the world really feeling raw truth. As we open our hearts on the search for our truth, it can be overwhelming. Think about when it gets too much. Is there anything you do to protect yourself or do you take a break from the spiritual side? Today we are asked to simply merge with it all.

I’m not sure I would merge with all things spiritual.. just because it can be an overload. There are reasons why we take breaks, to rest and reset. Today’s lesson to ask us to just merge with it all, doesn’t necessarily sit well with me. You can absorb other people’s crap, you might suddenly go moody for no good reason, you might feel upset … and with all these emotions and feelings, what’s that going to achieve if we are just to embrace it all.

I do have moments like these in which I do not necessarily agree with what’s being taught. I like the idea of being open to possibility but to merge with everything when it can get too much, just doesn’t seem like a good idea. I think it’s wise to protect yourself when it comes to spirituality. There are some nasty things out there, so why wouldn’t you protect yourself? Anyway, I’m not about to do this lesson but if you have a good time merging with everything on a spiritual level, tell me how you go.

Lesson 248: A Spiritual Awakening is Not...

“A spiritual awakening is not fire and brimstone, angelic heralds. It is simply an opening into the understanding of our true nature, our true purpose in this lifetime. It is an understanding that everyone else has signed up for the same job duty, too.”

— Sara Wiseman

Today we are to understand that everyone expands their soul at different times and stages in their life. Think about your own heart and how that is opening. Where are you along in your journey?

I think my heart has the potential to grow further. I have silly thoughts pop in my head, which I can only put down to my subconscious holding onto self-deprecating notions that don’t serve me. I did deal with this shadow part of myself last weekend, and feel like I’ve rid most of it, but there is a bit of a feeling that something is still lingering, so I will revisit it.

It’s true that everyone’s understanding of why they are here will come in their own time. I believe we are all to experience and just be in a state of being. I feel like that is what life is about. I think there is major shifts coming to the world, and we more or less all have different missions, duties, tasks to do in order to help the move the world along. Everyone’s truth comes when it needs to. It’s not forced but rather a self-discovery and journey that presents itself at a certain point in your life. Some people get awakened at a young age and some much later in life.

I think I have a bit of work to be more accepting of people and their circumstances. I need to rid myself of judgement both at self and that of others. I think those that actively go out to hurt others probably need more work than those that actively try to be kind in their lives. All I can do is be a leader in my own life and hope that others can see the example I set, to want to change in their own lives – even those people that hurt others. I want to be as open as I can be to all walks of life and I want to help people – that’s the ultimate goal. I have got a long way to go but I am determined to fulfil this in my life. I hope to have my heart opening so big that I can really take on anything and it won’t phase me.

Where do you think you are at? And, where do you want to go in your own soul’s journey?

Day 178 - A Year to Clear - The Journey

Lesson 178: The Journey

Clearing is a journey. It’s not only about changing habits but changing parts of our self. What I’m learning is that it’s not a temporary measure in our lives and that it’s a lifelong skill that can be adopted by everyone. If anything, I’m building up my mind and physical space with these skills that I’m learning, which I believe is part of my spirituality. It’s repeatedly said that it takes 1 minute everyday to clear something. For me, I’ve mentioned that I’ve focused on thoughts mostly and still working on this every day. At the end of the day, I am building up to the best version of me. by building my own character, it addresses issues I have, but also brings about a better way of life for me. I’m fixing and growing on the way.

Lesson 166: There Are Many Other Ways...

“There are many other ways to discuss the ineffable; choose whatever story, metaphor, parable, science, example is right for you. There is no incorrect path to the Divine.”

— Sara Wiseman

The one thing that people should know is that to connect with the Divine is your own personal path and there is no right or wrong in doing it. Today I am to tell myself a story about my consciousness expanding and this can be difficult as it can be indescribable. I can go in and trust the Divine to provide me the story I need to tell.

The day I was awakened, everything I thought I knew was thrown out the window. Like everyone else, we all want to find a purpose in life or know what the greater meaning of life actually is. When I had reached a certain point where I didn’t know the point in living, the Universe showed me that there was. It was at that point where I understood that there was something bigger than me. I didn’t have to know exactly what higher power out there was, all I knew is that the Universe answered my cry and there I was awakened to a better purpose. I knew at that point, I needed to explore a spiritual path. Didn’t know exactly what that was but I figured it would present itself when it did. I didn’t know what I was doing and that was irrelevant because as it turns out, I would meet the people I would learn from when I was supposed to. I’ve opened myself to the possibilities. I have faced my truths and tested to my limits, walking away strong. I learn and grow because I understand what life is about. I walk the walk and I am a vessel that will teach others.

Day 5 - A Year to Clear - New You

Lesson 5: New You

This week's lesson focuses on the "New You", but in actuality, it has always been inside you. This version of yourself seems new to you but actually isn't. Behind all the layers, there is the truest version of yourself. You may envision your "New You" as a playful and curious child or an old lady reminiscing about her successful life. So the question is asked "What does your "new you" look and feel like?"

I see myself as a discoverer - a person amazed by wonder. When I learn, it excites me. Even though I'm doing it now, I feel like there is so much more potential. My "new" me is more carefree and not bogged down by trivial matters. She is free-spirited and really indulges in life, is full of laughter and has all the time in the world for everyone. She loves every being and everything the universe has to offer. I always envision her running around in a field on a mountain that overlooks more of nature's gifts. She is always surrounded by good people who appreciate her journey. 

This is the person I strive for. This is the person I'm going to be. There is nothing stopping me from being this person.
