We Make the World

Healers are spiritual warriors who have found the courage to defeat the darkness of their souls.  Awakening and arising from the depths of their deepest fears, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.  Reborn with a wisdom and strength that creates a light that shines bright enough to help, encourage, and inspire others out of their own darkness.  Melanie Koulouris

Being a candle is not easy.  In order to give light, one must first burn.  Rumi

I Feel a Shift

I have had an intense urge to deep clean my house.  I have been cleaning window sills; floor baseboards; walls; sweeping ceilings; dusting books, photo albums, dolls and figurines; orange oiling everything wood.  The amount of dust and grime revealed almost reduced me to tears.  Why did I wait so long?

My office will be the culmination of my efforts.  Here, I will have to get rid of years of files, including those of my mother who passed four years ago.  While preparing her final taxes, I had to take deep breaths and step away several times before I finished.  Over the years, bit by bit, I have gotten rid of her clothes and other personal effects.  Now, I am ready to at least move to the garage for later shredding documents that evidence how she lived and handled her life.  This is a very daunting task; but, space has to be made to accommodate the new.  I have to move on.  I am ready to move on.

I feel a shift.  Like a cloud has lifted.  Energy has been cleared.  A new door has opened.

Recently, my dreams have emphasized the color brown.  In one, a brown person was dressed in brown clothes and a brown hat.  My dream book stated that brown represents the earth, spiritual death, and degradation.  Initially I thought, “That’s not good.”  After a few days of thought and meditation, I had a different reaction.

Earth represents the material.  Spiritual beings in the body must manifest the material to survive and to nurture and please ourselves.  A human body must have material sustenance and live in physical abodes.  Perhaps the meaning of my dreaming the color brown is that the manifestation of my desires and intentions is imminent.  I am about to move beyond barely surviving to abundantly thriving.

Perhaps my spiritual death reflects an evolution from caterpillar to butterfly.  I am breaking through my casing and radically transforming into something greater.  The old me is dying, dissolving, to give birth to the new.

In a past journal entry, I noted that, during meditation, I received an awareness that the removal of cherished circumstances from my life is to enable me to see the One Light.  While I was surrounded by superficial light, I refused to see the One Light.  I wrote: “it is only in darkness that you become more aware of light.”

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

When we remember to speak words which are true, kind, and constructive, we nourish a beautiful flower in our hearts, and we can offer its sweet fragrance to everyone.  Thich Nhat Hahn

Blinding Bright Lights

Bright Light pinterest

Sometimes I think that I am a bright light that blinds some people and annoys others. These people then subconsciously seek to put out or dim my light by invalidating or being negative towards me.

My bright light actually hurts them and they are simply trying not to be in pain anymore. Often, I resist the hurtful actions of others and interpret them as conscious and targeted attacks and react accordingly.  This, in fact, further dims my light and causes me to attract more adversity.  If I continue to react negatively and without loving kindness, I become the person in pain, subconsciously invalidating and causing harm to others.  Their bright lights hurt me until I am able to bring myself back into balance.
