The Heart of Love in challenging times…
Deep down in the core heart and soul of every single person present on earth, there is a deep yearning to be loved, for who and what they are. Not for someone’s projection onto them of what they should look like, be like, act like.
Yet, all love starts within us, for ourselves.
Herein lies the greatest collective lesson for humanity at this crucial moment. For as long as we wish to fix others, (often using brute force), or see others as separate from ourselves, or flawed, or as an enemy, or as a threat, we are not wanting to look into what they are mirroring back to us.
For indeed, every person, no matter who they are, and every nation, and every single encounter, reflects our own face, our own inability to find peace, love, and deep contentment within.
This is also the hardest thing to truly master on earth, as a soul.
For whatever we see in others, it is there, within ourselves too.
How can you create peace if you are at war within yourself?
How can you peacefully govern people if you are not at peace within?
How can you genuinely love another, if you do not love yourself in the deepest shadows and the highest light?
I have often found that when that reflection showed my own face, I first went into denial. Yet, when I finally got over my own resistance to look at myself in the mirror, they were reflecting on me and finally acknowledging that this was there within me too, something deep inside of me changed.
Not only could I finally forgive myself, and others, and indeed, step into the state of pure Grace, but I could now clearly see how, by being that mirror, they were SERVING me.
They were the catalyst which finally made me see clearly what needed to be done, adjusted, and indeed, where even in reflecting the same trait, I was serving others as well.
All of life always brings you back to YOUR OWN SELF.
As much as this is an individual lesson, it is also found in countries and nations as well. I remember as Librarian how I had to review a book about the TRUE origins of the Second World War, (which by the way had nothing to do with Hitler), but with the fact that certain weapon manufacturers, needed to sell their weapons and make a huge profit.
More than this, how certain groupings were pulling the strings all along, and in the process, cost the lives of many millions of innocent people.
Where did I read this before, I thought? Then remembered that the Anglo-Boer Wars in South Africa, were indeed about the discovery of diamonds and gold and never about the Boers and Boer Republics themselves. Before these were discovered no one bothered much about the Boer Republics.
This is why I love history so much: – it teaches you that certain patterns in countries, nations and those behind the scenes tend to repeat them themselves.
I had to read about battles, about generals, and strategies, and my sensitive soul, of felt intensely for the poor souls, who were the ones who had to pay for it all with their lives. Indeed, I was called upon to help the souls of soldiers who died on the Battlefields of the Museum I was working in, during the Boer Wars and that indeed changed my entire life and indeed my whole insight and understanding about souls on earth.
I have taught Palestinian kids in the Middle East, and when I witnessed what war does to the children, I wept. More than this, I have previously relayed of what one Palestinian boy of twelve taught me about love, and how love manages to break open even the most scarred and wounded heart.
So, why am I sharing this today? Because in these next few months, we will be evaluated to core in all of these areas.
The true SHIFT, in consciousness, starts not in the collective: _- it starts within each one of us.
And it now means to take responsibility for your own soul’s well-being and in so doing, then then, to BE Love, the Loving Grace, the Peace, the Compassion, the Truth of your own soul.
It is not what others are doing or not doing.
It was what YOU are doing or not doing. As you live your truth, you give other souls permission to also live their truth.
As you stand fully in your own soul power, with love and integrity, and wield that Sword of Truth, Love and Wisdom and Power, you give others permission to do and be the same.
It is the ONE who starts the domino effect in the collective.
It is One who stand fully in his and her own light, and not in anyone’s shadow, and you shines like a vast Beacon of Love, Hope, Courage, Strength, Fortitude, yet more than this LOVE, Truth, Integrity, kindness, compassion, joy and inner peace, who become the great leaders of the New Age.
Their whole life and the way they live their life DEMONSTRATES this. And indeed, the new Communities, will exist of those who genuine serve from the heart and soul and with love and joy, and for the greatest good of ALL.
Perhaps now is the time to every morning on arising to put out the INTENT of the new day, and make a commitment to yourself that you will life your truth, and express it with love, and joy and that nothing, will disturb you, nor affright you, as you are ONE with the Divine Source within you.
Compassionate, loving, caring, kind, and that you will spread joy, laughter, inspiration, and whatever it is you most wish to express, because you cannot do, nor be, other than the truth of who and what you are. Grateful for each living moment and grateful for all those souls who are in our lives, in whatever form or way.
Yes, it does mean a daily commitment, and a daily practice, but then discipline and focus are the Adept greatest tools.
And then see how everything changes… inside and outside.
And so, it is!
