Have you ever heard the above expression? On the surface, it seems like such a uncomplicated phrase, but what does it literally mean?
First let me share with you some of my journey through the spiritual realms and what I have learned so far. I've been a new age / spiritual junkie since I first read James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy in 1996. Nourishing and feeding my soul, it prompted me to learn meditation and discrete forms of vigor curative along with becoming a Reiki Master. I read books by world celebrated spiritual authors such as Neale Donald Walsh, Carolyn Myss, Deepak Chopra, Kryon, Eckhart Tolle, Gary Zukov, Paulo Coelho and others. I took courses in the art of channeling inevitable vigor and attended discrete spiritual workshops. I studied Buddhism, Angel cards, Sacred Path Cards, numerology and the Divine Triangle.
Do It Yourself
After only a few short years, I notion I had worked through all my "issues" and felt like an enlightened being capable of helping others to find their path in life. Silly me!
Then something happened that redirected my course, at least temporarily. In a very unexpected place, I met my twin soul, that other part of me I knew existed but didn't know where or when we'd cross paths. If you've ever held hands with your twin soul you understand what it's like to feel so connected you cannot distinguish the inequity where one hand touches the other because they feel as one. Or when you gaze into their eyes and come to be hypnotized by the vigor flowing in the middle of both of you.
Our love grew to such depths I was amazed that it was possible for it to keep expanding with each passing day. My heart was overflowing with joy and I was happier than my wildest fantasies. Over time though, my yearning to live in aid to a higher calling began to fade. After all, what could be more glorious than to know true love? It's an expression of God's love, right?
Absolutely... But I think the universe decided I was becoming too complacent in my happiness, or maybe it was just time to get back on my ocean liner and sail the seas of my spiritual journey. In any case, it began to place some obstacles in my way in other areas of my life. I struggled for months with the changes forced upon me. I found myself crying all the time, falling into a deep depression riddled with anxiety, worry, and fear.
My life began to feel incomplete. I had let my life purpose disappear into the recesses of my mind, existing only as a distant memory. Until one gorgeous hot summer day when it somehow managed to maneuver its leave from the shadows and stare at me square in the middle of the eyes. "Where have I been? Who have I become? This is not me," I realized. I look for the higher meaning in everything that happens, I gave up being the victim a long time ago, yet here I was, blaming others for my current circumstances.
In that moment, I turned the Light back on and made the decision to bring myself back into alignment with the universe. The manuscript I had been struggling with suddenly started pouring out page after page. I became reconnected to my passion of writing, and rather than finding for excuses I sought out every spare moment I could find. Working full time would not stop me from doing what I loved. I woke at five o'clock every morning, meditated and worked out. My lunch hours became dedicated to writing, as did my evening hours. I did whatever it took to speak my truth and share my imagination through the written word in the creation of my first full-length novel.
Writing obligated me to work through issues such as worthiness that I had pushed aside for too long and in case,granted opportunities for the significant curative to occur. In the process I became alive again and felt my guiding Light stronger than ever before.
Life is a journey - everyone's heard that before. Every day is an occasion to learn something new. We have to walk the path, do the work and listen, literally listen to our heart's calling because our mind likes to keep us trapped in well-known surroundings where you feel safe and comfortable. It will play tricks with our thoughts in an endeavor to sabotage us. It will tell us we're not good enough, appealing enough, rich enough, or the time is not right, whatever to take you down and keep you from achieving your dreams.
Take a look at what your outer world looks like. Is your pathway filled with a rocky road that causes you to lose your balance and fall? Or is it lined with smooth, evenly spaced stepping-stones allowing you to move gracefully along your trek?
If you are still struggling, if things are just not going the way you believe they should be, stop and take time for quiet contemplation to inspect what is holding you back. Listen to the voice within and allow your higher consciousness to report the areas of your life that need special attention. inspect what is going on internally and you will learn why your external world is not to your liking.
Ask yourself what your connection is like with money and with other citizen in your life, along with partners, family, friends, co-workers, and bosses. Crusade for clues in all areas because 'how you do whatever is how you do everything'. In other words, if you do some halfway and think it's not important, guess what? That same attitude will show up in everything else and your life will never feel fulfilled.
Write your feelings down in a journal; inspect your anger, sadness, betrayal, longing and jealousies. Issue these emotions through the spoken word as well with a close inevitable or even by yourself. Yell, scream, and curse. Do whatever it takes to get it out of your system. Feel it leaving your body with the knowledge that you are taking responsibility for your own curative and congratulate yourself for your ample efforts.
You will probably resist going through this exercise because exploring the unknown is scary. But trust me, getting to know yourself at deeper levels and discovering the gem in your soul is more than worth the first discomfort.
Take a leap of faith and act in spite of fear. Open your arms to the universe and tell it to 'Bring It On! Embrace every feel that comes your way with gusto but treat yourself with gentleness, especially when you screw up. Our most profound lessons occur through development mistakes. Be kind, rejoinder the error, and make a commitment to do it great the next time, then move on without beating yourself up.
May you soar high above the cloudy skies, sail over the stormy seas and inspect your pot of gold waiting at the end of your rainbow. Each time you find even the smallest of nuggets say to yourself, "I am amazing!" because you are.
Your Outer World is a Reflection of Your Inner World
