Lesson 130: As Within, So Without

Following on with the theme of interconnectedness, everything we perceive would indicate a part of our hand in that particular thing or situation. We create our own environments but in turn create everyone’s environments. I see it as the butterfly effect. In the lesson, it’s mentioned that “famine and feast, pestilence and prosperity, illness and health, war and peace” all are shaped by collective consciousness. It just proves that we all have the power to enact change where devastation or a less fortunate circumstance is present. Today we are to think about if our intentions have manifested more powerfully since beginning this course.

I think my intentions are much the same from the beginning. I have set an intention to learn, clear, release and work towards being a person that actual has impact on others. I do these things slowly but I wouldn’t say they are more powerful than before. I still strive for these things even though I am growing. I think all the lessons learned along the way is definitely shaping me to be better as a person, though I don’t think I am more powerful. I think more knowledgeable for sure, but I think I still need to harness the power within that knowledge in order for it to spread. I took the slow and steady pace to test my patience. There are times when I lose the ability to hold patience, though I don’t think learning fast has benefits when it comes to spirituality. I am being surprised every other day with what I learn, and whom I meet. I’m kind of just chill about things. If I want to make a big impact, I think I need to absorb all that I can in order to make a lasting impact also. I want what I learn to hold substance and people remember that I’m relatable. Everything I do, is to one day expand the collective consciousness, in my own way and no bullshit telling people what to do. I just give my opinion and hope it resonates. And, that’s how I hope to always be. I wouldn’t want people to follow me, I’d rather shape their own opinions based on words I’ve said. Standing together is more impactful that leading people. But, that’s just me.

Day 129 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - When You Have Compassion

Lesson 129: When You Have Compassion...

Compassion…. It makes everything simple and easy when you hold it for yourself and others. That is the message of today. When you raise the vibration like this, there is no sadness, no anger, no frustration, no pain… All we have to do is close our eyes and ask the Divine for it. It’s as simple as that.

When I closed my eyes, I just asked the Universe to bless me. I spoke out loud that I’m only human and I make mistakes. I asked that I can always hold compassion for myself like I hold for others. I need to know to forgive myself. Yes, sometimes I make silly decisions but I always learn. It’s okay to make silly decisions as long as I learn from them. I am not perfect. No one is. I can be there for myself and I can be there for others.

As I was doing this, it really felt like everything was going to be okay. Like an unspoken reassurance. If I’m open, I can do anything.

Lesson 129: Participatory Relationship

Today’s lesson involved quantum physics and I just wasn’t having the brain capacity. Basically, a potential something becomes an actual something when it is observed. A chair wouldn’t materialise just because, but when it is imagined, observed or intended. These become form when we have given it our attention or energy. They wouldn’t exist without our subconscious or conscious “participation”. That’s me paraphrasing what was said which makes more sense now that I’ve typed it out.

Today we are to think about what are we giving our attention to?

When I think of terms of clutter, wouldn’t it be everything that is clutter? Haha! But today, it was pretty much my old bras that had broken underwire that needed to go. I had to get rid of them and trust me, throwing them in the bin was hard, but I had to buy new ones that fit properly. I think for me, throwing them away was hard because it seems like wasted material. I’m not sure that I could have upcycled them in any way… actually, I could probably use the cups and stitch them for the inside of a dress. But either way, the bra needs to go, but I guess the inside hoarder finds it hard to let go sometimes.

When I ask myself the question again, I think basically all my clutter. The furniture and clothes I’ve been trying to sell. The makeup I don’t use and want to give away to my friend’s daughter. All my belongings I want to rearrange to create my own space. I feel like everything is connected one way or another. So, wouldn’t all my attention be linked to it all?

Day 128 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Holding Others

Lesson 128: Once You Have Been Able to Hold Others...

I certainly have opened up to compassion. I think the hardest and most challenging task is holding compassion for self. Holding compassion for others is somehow easier, because you identify with their suffering or pain, and therefore, have this urge to be there for that person. We truly are beautiful beings in this way and I am happy to those that are trying to practise this with me.

As we’re opening passages of the heart, we engage with our higher self or consciousness. We are trying to raise our vibration and release emotions that hold us back – things such as anger, pain, sadness. Today we are to imagine what it’s like to have parts of our heart’s armour torn down. This is us opening ourselves to possibilities, allows us to really see it and recognise it.

When I imagine my heart, there is just light bursting out of it. I have never imagined armour around it but now when I see, it’s more like sections being opened. Whenever I meditate, I imagine light going in and out of my heart, almost like a cleanse, but always free flowing. That energy also flows all through my body. I like to see my heart as slowly unfolding, that one day when I think I have achieved pure love, all those passages would be beaming bright. That’s what I’m working towards and even hopefully by the end of this course, I hope to achieve this. I guess we will have to wait until 31st December 2018. I hope that anyone reading this sees how I evolve as the year goes on.

I don’t claim to be a professional. I’m just a regular person trying to gain enlightenment in my own way. And through my own enlightenment, I hope to challenge others. It may be a slow journey but it’s steady.

Day 128 - A Year to Clear - There Is No Separation

Lesson 128: There Is No Separation

Today is about using your awareness with realising that “there is no separation” from you to the next person, your possessions or your home. There is a state of interconnectedness between all things and to imagine that the qualities we see in things or others, whether they are friends or enemies are just a reflection and/or extension of ourselves.

I believe that we are all connected on a sacred geometrical level so therefore our energies are interconnected also. If we are all states of energy or states of being, then aren’t we all somewhat absorbing each other’s emotions and feelings, and not only that, but influencing each other with opinions and values. We all build our own environments from things we’ve learned from parents, teachers, friends and society. We take a bit from here and there and build our own perception. In this way, even if you don’t believe in energy or sacred geometry like I do, don’t you think we are all connected in bits and pieces? We are not separate at all. Each and every one of us possess things we like in each other and to me, those are qualities we hold within ourselves.

I can’t see any other way of us not being connected as a whole. What do you think?
