My Path
Hello my
dear friends and readers. I’ll share with you a bit of the kind of magic that
has filled my days lately and which has been so overwhelming that it has been
keeping me away from my writing!
Opening up
to feeling, to the breath of Isness, to the expansive realization that what we
see is but a mere fraction of the whole has its intrinsic consequences. Some
are lovely, then again others are more challenging to deal with at times.
What I mean
is when we feel, we FEEL. We feel all of our layers, we feel our Essence, we
feel nature, and places and people, and even objects, we feel everything. And
the thing is feeling is not selective, it has no notion of good or bad. This is
where the usefulness of Conscious Breath comes in. It is only by reconnecting
with the deep, still space within us that we can detach from the form of what
we are feeling and see beyond it. That is when we come to the magnificent
conclusion that beneath all of the layers of emotional and mental ups and
downs, there is always an all-encompassing stillness that is neither here nor
there, and yet is totally fulfilling in itself. That is when we can observe and
realize that much of what we feel - when we open up to feeling – is not even
ours! In other words, many times we feel fears that are not ours, we feel
doubts that are not ours, we feel anxiousness that is not ours, pain that is
not ours and so on and so on… We feel the pervasive waves of mass consciousness
passing through us as if we were a sift. Then, it becomes simple. We become
aware of what is generated by us and what isn’t and all we have to do is take
and deep breath and release, let go, surrender, BE.
Yes, I know
of all of the forms of protection used to deflect or impede outer layers from
touching us. The decrees, and mantles of protection, the invocations and chants
and so on. But I also know that in our mastery there comes a moment when there
is no need to protect ourselves, because as we expand our consciousness so does
our vibration change and therefore, that which is not of the same vibration
cannot affect our reality, even though we can feel it pass through. It is sort
of like choosing to jump in the river and surrender to the stream effortlessly,
instead of fighting not to get wet, when in the end we get wet anyway!
Then there
is the case when some people feel challenged by your presence and see in you
parts of themselves reflected as a true mirror does. Let me explain. Whenever
someone accuses you of being something and feels angry at you for that, it is a
sure thing that you are merely serving as a reflection. Then the challenge is to observe yourself.
Does it make you feel angry or hurt as well? Then you have some aspects related
to the issue to observe. If you can easily detach from the need to justify and
be understood, letting go of the accusation without guilt or hurt, then it is
not your issue. And it is indeed liberating, not having to justify because the
mind’s rambling argumentation will get you cornered every time and it will
prove useless and exhausting to go that way. Adding to this liberation is the
one you give the other person, by not insisting that either of you is right or
wrong. Can you let go and move on? It’s worth a try.
My magic
has been truly releasing expectations of any particular outcomes, in all sorts
of situations. It is another great step towards freedom!!! And then has come
the awareness that no matter which choice I make, if I have no expectations,
there is no wrong way to go. Each one will bring its own unexpected and so far
very beautiful outcome. So that has allowed me to forego delaying choices for
fear of not making the right one and just going ahead and living the experience
fully, as it is. No procrastination, no fear of losing because there is nothing
to lose from Living fully.
My magic
has been surrendering to True LOVE. No ifs
or buts, no what ifs either! What do I mean? I mean following my heart 100%,
regardless of my mind’s opinions. Following my heart regardless of the limiting
fears derived from past experiences. Following my heart regardless of its
seeming insanity. Allowing myself to LOVE every bit of me like never before,
and therefore love another in the same fearless way. Here is another liberating
step to freedom, because within Love resides no fear, so if we choose to follow
our heart in love we release the crippling grip of fear and LIVE what is right there
to LIVE, NOW!!!
My magic
has been wrapping myself up in my Essence’s infinite Compassion and walking the
path of acceptance beyond judgment. There is no way a runaway child will come
back home if he/she doesn’t feel accepted. Same thing with all of my bits and
pieces. Same thing with everyone else as well. Freedom from judgment is an
indescribable balm of truth.
My magic
has been realizing that it is not only when I have stuff to do that I am doing
something towards the fulfillment of my dreams and choices. That sometimes just
stepping out of the way and letting them happen in their own perfect way and
time is the only thing that is missing in order for them to materialize! In
other words I have been quitting the habit or busyness, totally letting go of
routine and accepted that just participating in the dance of life is in fact
all that matters. And all this dance requires is a balance between the steps
and the pauses. That’s what gives it its grace.
My magic
has been noticing that I don’t need to be surrounded by numerous people all the
time to feel I am in very good company! Allowing myself to feel how supported I
am, how life and all that it contains accompanies me every instant of every day
and night. Allowing myself to feel the blessings in each step I take, in each
purely complete moment. I feel more accompanied than ever and yet I have been
spending more time alone than ever as well!
These are
some of the liberating experiences I have had lately, which I hope I have been
able to express clearly. Then again… just feel and you’ll easily understand
what I mean.
Love you
all!!! And I mean it J
