To be honest, life can get me down from time to time. I think back to
my happier moments and it was back when I had an outlet for expression.
This blog was created with the intention to do just that.
I started this journey, maybe, 2-3 years ago (I have honestly loss track of time). Though my interests may have waned here and there, as time has progressed, I have found a stronger desire to find balance and enlightenment.
I find the hardest part
is finding my exact starting point. What
I am about to state is as “non-enlightened” as they come: I have too many flaws and negative aspects about my persona to
accurately decipher where I should start first.
I find all too often my thoughts are full of contempt, jealously,
negativity, anxiety and even laziness―just
to name a few.
Over the past few years I have done quite a bit of reading
on non-fiction topics which I have hoped to help my case. Books on self-reflection and betterment practices,
stories on neuro-plasticity, and books on other people’s experiences. There has even been a book and even an
article or two on the afterlife.
All my readings have reinforced what I hope to do – Change for
the better and to gain the type of enlightenment where through my eyes everything
and everyone shines with the purest of lights.
Can you even imagine what that may be like? To walk around with such a state of being
where all you can see is good and see the blue-light of every beings’ soul. Our human form prevents us from seeing the
world as the soul or spirit would. It is
our ego which gets in the way.
My mission is to starve the ego and instead feed the soul.
How to go about doing this, I do not know. All I know is by remembering what is good in
my life and remembering to be grateful will help me feed my light inside. This divine presence inside of us all could use
a great big helping of acknowledgement.
“In your world, as
the earth moves around the sun, there’s nothing but shadow for a good part of
the time. The mystery of life on earth cannot exist without the shadow
element. You cannot have the sea without the storms, the earth without quakes,
the wind without tornadoes. On earth, when the light rises, the darkness
comes with it. Where there is light, there is shadow… unless it’s
midday. But it can’t always be midday. And sometimes – sometimes
darkness is okay too. Don’t overlook the riches contained in the
darkness. Life’s very temporary, so don’t let time just past. Let
the moments fill you – the ones you judge to be good as well as bad.
“Remember, the
blue-white light is always inside you. And every day, by remembering it,
you feed it, and it will grow. When life is joyous, the light will be
there. When there is hardship, the light will also be there.
“I know you’re
afraid that things will go wrong. They will. It’s like that on
earth. We’re all permitted our pain, but pain is a transitory
start. My transition was to death, to this comfort and love I now receive
in every molecule of my being. Know that the shadow is illusory and
temporary. Bliss, ultimately bliss and light, are the truer and stronger
reality.”
