Balance

5 Jan

woman lying on the grass

Lay down on the Earth
Listen to her whisper her story
Integrating all temperatures
From extreme molten heat
To rock solid frozen masses
One does not overtake the other
For Earth Mother keeps all
Things in good balance
This, people can learn from her.

Know that good and bad,
Light and darkness,
Anger and love…
All are part of balance
And should be embraced
As part of the whole.

Don’t fight against things you don’t want
But integrate and accept what life offers
And let the experiences teach you along the way.
When you release the ‘fight’ you find true acceptance,
love and peace both within you and all around.
Watch how Earth Mother in all her glory,
allows everything to be.

Angels Amongst Us

Angels Amongst Us

Walking alongside you is an angel unseen
She is divine in essence and divine in light
Her form eludes you because she is many things
Whatever you need, she is there

Her words are the words of love and peace
She touches your heart and warms your soul
She is blessed, but only because you are blessed too
And she feels she’s a sister in spirit -
Not above, but alongside you

If she could hold your hand, she would
And sometimes she does

If she could kiss the tears away, she would
And sometimes she does

If she could heal the pain within, she would
And sometimes she does

Know she is there next to you
Whether you know it or not
Full of divine love and grace
She meets you in the place of the heart
Feel her there

Some say she’s spirit
Some say she’s living
Perhaps she is both things?

Thankyou angel for your guiding light
Your love
Your truth
Your devotion

Self Mastery

9 Dec

self mastery

Self Mastery

Mastery of one’s domain is to be its leader -
the source of power that makes decisions
and others look up to for direction and advice.

Mastery of a subject is to have studied widely and deeply
- to be able to hold a conversation
and teach others of the subject.

Mastery of a skill is to have practiced so often
that the ability comes effortlessly -
without the need for conscious thought.

Mastery of the self is most elusive of all -
requiring patience, understanding, commitment
and bravery -
not of any domain, knowledge or skill,
but of the mysteries within.

No-one else can judge mastery of the self,
except the individual in question.
No-one else can ask the hard questions
and give honest answers.
No-one else can look in the mirror
and see what is really there – inside.

Mastery of the self requires
first meeting the self, then listening.
Mastery of the self requires action
to bring the inner self to the surface
where it can greet others.

And the Master of the Self does not shy away
when someone questions it,
It does not back down when challenged,
It does not conform to others’ expectations,
It does not require approval from anyone.

For only the Master – the true Master of the Self
can stand against all influences and be true to itself.
This is the ultimate mastery and is set as a challenge
for all who seek happiness, harmony
and a lifetime of fulfilment.

The “Golden Truth”

THE “GOLDEN TRUTH”

Golden abundant wealth
streaming in and around
infusing life with its
brilliance and limitlessness
it grows beyond growth
and dreams beyond dreams
it has no boundaries
WE have no boundaries
we are LIMITLESS
we are GOLDEN
