Find your equilibrium within the self rather than outside of the self. Find it in the balance of your physical self in alignment with your spiritual self. With all that you are in good balance, equilibrium may be achieved; your body and spirit united as one. Get to know your body in a new way, as your trusty vehicle through life. Get to know your spirit as the captain of your ship, the one who knows your body vehicle so well, all its intricacies, all its needs and desires. When these two are working well together all will be well and equilibrium achieved. What more could you want than to know and trust yourself to these two?
Find stability. In times of chaos a stable mind, body, and spirit will bring the needed balance. No matter what is going on outside of you bring your inner self into calm balance and alignment with a higher purpose, for it is everyone’s job to grow and evolve from a child to an adult, from unknowing to knowing, from fear to fearlessness, from selfishness to selflessness. It is the job of everyone to learn to love, to give, and to aid in the evolution of the planet, as well as humanity. Do it with stability of mind, body, and spirit, so that your journey of evolution may proceed without issue and so that love may flow through you, within and without.
Remain optimistic, and yet balance requires acknowledgement of all that is and attention to all details, so do not shirk from your duties nor neglect your responsibilities. In order for order to reign chaos must be averted. In order for chaos to be averted all that approaches must be dealt with in a proper manner, with a strong and loving heart, with compassion and kindness but also with ruthlessness when necessary. Practice optimism while simultaneously preparing for all contingencies. In this manner, be prepared for anything while remaining hopeful that good, light, and love will prevail. Be part of the solution; it’s the right thing to do for the greater good of all.
Watch your energy. Protect it and keep it safe from harmful outside influences. Endeavor to keep it pure from contamination of both negative thoughts and ideas as well as negative influences that will harm the physical self. Your energy is both spiritual and physical and if kept in tiptop shape should keep going in good balance for a long time. When out of balance, strive to reassert equilibrium so that body and spirit are in alignment. Get to know what it feels like and strive always to maintain good balance of energy, spiritual and physical, within and without. This is good for you.
The unrenovated shadow self… – Photo by Jan Ketchel
I spent last night in dreams of renovation. I awoke several times in the night, my body feeling the physical download of great effort. The house is an older home, with good bones, purchased from people of positive intent, who never got to the renovation of the back half of the house. Under their care it remained a potentiality, dark and unexplored.
The project is huge, the materials are modest and the effort is great. There is no sense of inflated expansion, but the expansion is solid and will serve the needs of all who will inhabit it.
Awakening to the headlines of today, legitimacy is being granted, despite reservation. The momentum of change is fully apparent. The country has spoken and chosen a new dream. The dream we have been living challenged us to take responsibility for our future dream. It truly became necessary to consent to the reality we would live in.
Consciousness, as expressed through the collective ego, has risen beyond the stage of pure narcissism to address the true needs of the whole. This has been a developmental process of necessity.
First, the purely self-serving ego needed to be lived and given full rein, so that the impact upon world survival could be felt and consciously assessed. All of the ego’s manipulative machinations had to be fully lived and experienced before it could acquiesce to a higher cause, the welfare of the greater whole. Though leaders mirror this ego, they merely reflect the internal process of us all.
We have all encountered the impact of allowing the desire body to rule the ego. The thrill of that ride, the bliss of excess, is a legitimate dream, but it burns out quickly through its unbridled appetite, leaving us all exhausted. We have now chosen continuance and evolution over the fascination of Armageddon. We know now that we can indeed go out in a blaze of glory that we have caused, but we have chosen not to exercise that option.
We have learned, as well, that the repressed in all of us can emerge with a self-destructive vengeance. We’ve all witnessed it acting out. To regain balance, we must responsibly find a life for all that we desire.
The Earth teaches us to move away from exploiting her bounty. We must follow her example. The future of desire is to turn this human spirit of manifest destiny to exploration of the energy body, away from rampant ego desires to the world of spirit and out-of-body travel and all that it offers. At this subtle level of the Soul, thought alone is the fuel. How’s that for clean energy!
As my dream portends, the dark unknown half of the house is ready for discovery and renovation. Despite the labor involved, it promises to solidly house all that we are. We must all begin with the self.
Take up the challenge of the repressed and the desired within the self. Bring light into the darkness. Be conservative yet daring. The time of transition has arrived.
