Dream Your Dreams

I have walked the edges of shadow lands
Stood at the bridge between worlds many times
And each time I return just a little wiser
I grow in my own light, just a little brighter
I am a time traveler and a dreamer of dreams
I live and breathe right beside you smiling
Life incarnate can be hard sometimes
It can often seem to tear at your heart
But that's only the illusion waving a flag in your face
Dig deeper and reach higher dear souls
There is so much more to life than you know
Reach all the way in
Feel everything without
Embrace the light in its myriad facets
Drink in the depths of the emotion in this plane
Hear the voices and whispers through time
Dance with the images and sing haunting melodies
Know without a doubt that everything matters
Know without a doubt your love never leaves you
Understand you're beautiful extension from Source
Walk upright and look for your silver linings
Wonders and miracles great do await you
You need only consent to seeking the path
Walk with much courage, faith and self-love
Know that you are the eternal and infinite
Breathe in the peace and sparkling energy of existence
Journey on dear souls, dream your dreams

The Angel Sighs

No one understands
The bowels of hell like an angel
They'll walk right into the center
Without even a care
To save one soul screaming for help
And its sad when that soul
Cries so terrified in the darkness
The angel brings them up and out
At long last into the light of day
And that poor soul still screams
With their eyes closed so tightly
Clawing and flailing for anything to grab hold of
And the angel whispers, "Awaken dear soul"
"You are as you've always been, free"
But the soul can't hear over his own cries of despiar
And the angel whispers yet again, "Just open your eyes"
"Finally, now you can see here in the light"
And the soul flails even more in a panic
Clawing at the air and anything within reach
And the angel sighs seeing the choices there made
And steps out of the soul's reach
Leaving him in God's hands
Sorrow strikes but a moment
For there are other souls in need
And the angel prays hard and long
And sends nothing but love and light

Inspired by all those souls over many years who simply said "open your eyes and see" when out of fear I merely wished to squeeze my eyes shut knowing only darkness and feeling afraid of the light.  I'm grateful for those angels incarnate and dedicate this piece to everyone of them.  Now I can see.  Thank you. :)

Words + Emotion = Energy So be Careful in What you Create! :)

There's a distinct chill in the air preceding the coming storm out west and my thoughts seem to be carried up and out on a cool breeze.  I see the city far below me and a thought crosses my mind.  From up here, I can feel the dark and light energy in rather interesting pockets.  If I focus in on anyone area, I can see what generates the darkness and what generates the light...when I zoom in closer, I can feel words and the power behind them generated by souls both aware and very unaware.  I realize in that moment that we just don't know the depths of energy we unconsciously create and put out into this world and that is tragic to me.

We have experiences here in this plane (and also many others).  However, when we hone in on an aspect of our experience and convey it to others with any emotion tinged with hatred, venom, toxic and poisonous anger, hurt, sorrow, etc. we end up tainting with our words and all who come into contact with the negative energy of what we negatively convey.  Conversely, when we hone in on an aspect of our experience and convey it to others with an emotion tinged with love, curiosity, assuming positive intent, happiness, wonder and joy, we end up positively influencing everyone we come into contact with--with our positive energy.

Words have power.  Thoughts have power.  These two in combination create a certain kind of energy.  When we push that out with good intent and with a positive message, we are filled with light as are those who come into contact with us.  However, when we push that out with bad intent and with a negative message, we collapse our light in on us and pull the light out of others creating voids of darkness all around.

We must be ever so cautious in how we use our words and our emotions to create energy.  We should consider consciously creating.  Describing a bad experience is not in and of itself bad.  However, when we engage in blame, hate, vengeance and anger surrounding our story, we really just create negativity for ourselves.  We always end up choking on our own toxic poison when we engage in blame and seeking to hurt others with our words.  So, to remedy, we should consider the collective of our experiences and even if we experience something bad if we take a more curious stance, assume positive intent, seek truth over assumption and seek true understanding or the silver linings of our experience without conveying insult or injury to others, we can actually increase our own light.  I've written much lately about always being on the receiving end of your own insults, attacks and hurtful lies about others.  If you don't believe me, do a little test.  The next time you speak ill of others with vengeance and pure vitriol, notice how you feel.  Notice the sinking feeling in your heart or stomach centers (chakras) as these two in particular are very sensitive.  Now, the next time you refrain from speaking ill of others and instead take a more curious and accountable stance as you speak or maybe you hold forgiveness and love above all and let that guide your words - notice how your stomach and chakra centers feel.   Likewise, again, when others are speaking with vitriol and hate versus love and forgiveness, notice how your energy centers feel.  They vibrate differently based on whether you convey or are the subject of a positive or negative story.

Assume nothing, don't exaggerate or rewrite history in the negative and don't engage in gossip or insult.  These things hurt YOU the most and not the object of your feelings of negativity.  Likewise, when you lift others up with love, forgiveness and light-filled words, you also uplift YOU in your energy. 

Every single word you say, everything you do and everything you think and attach emotion to matters.  So, be authentic and deal with negative emotions but take personal ownership rather than blame and you will not be adversely effected by your own words. Focus on the positive.  One of the aspects of truly successful and happy people in life is their ability to seek silver linings, higher meaning and true understanding beyond the superficial. They will be authentically honest but will develop the ability to do so without being hateful or insulting.

Some food for thought thanks to a dear soul's post tonight.  Thanks Sharon! :)

Blessings dear souls!

Breathe and be Peaceful

Heaven help us, this life can be hard! With all of these ego's smashing into each other repeatedly, blaming, attacking, short-changing, taking advantage of, disregarding, hurting on purpose, hurting on accident, slights and perceptions...UUUUGGGHHH! It doesn't have to ruin your day but sometimes it does. When it seems like the world is trying to stir you up and is seemingly succeeding, there isn't much you can do from the outside-in but there is a lot you can do from the inside-out.

I believe we have an infinite supply of love and energy from our Source, Creator if you will. Love is an amazing energy source. It's hard to feel it when we turn our back on it by getting our egos engaged in a war of "better than" or "tit for tat." But, if you disengage, even when you don't want to, you might start to just feel pain and that's okay, let it hit. It won't last forever and then you can forget about the outside world, sit with your thoughts and just tap into the Source instead. It's not hard all the time, just when the ego is not preoccupied with scheming to make you seem separate and different from anyone and everyone else. Take up meditation, yoga, exercise, walking or anything else that gets you outside. It's a great diversion until the ego can disengage and you can start remembering your strength, your own self-love (despite your seeming mistakes, foibles or what have you).

While the world can be an incredibly scary and hurtful place sometimes, you are always surrounded and protected. There is a beautiful source of love inside of you that you can tap into whenever you want, whenever you're ready. If you're having a hard time, forget about yourself for a minute and go help a perfect stranger, grab a can off the top shelf for someone who can't reach at the store, compliment someone's hair or shoes, smile at a stranger and wish them love and peace without saying a word. You'll then start the love flowing again and it will fill you up, energize you and prepare you to wake up and take another step in this crazy mixed up world.

Breathe and be peaceful.

Blessings!

Set Your Love Free

Never for one moment believe that you are not good enough to be great, to feel loved and to be beautiful.  Reach deep into your core, beyond the hurtful words others may have given you and love yourself with all of your heart.  In so doing, your love will set you free from the chains that pain has bound your heart with.  Then, your own love will have you soaring to heights unbelievable.  Believe in you heart and soul and never waiver in your dedication to your love and light. Know that you are the master of your perceptions of Earthly experience.  Seek the silver linings and blessings of every frame of the scenes that are your life.  Reach out for the best that life has to offer and trust it will always be within your grasp.  Blessings dearest souls.  Higher love is here for you now.

True Expanse

Watching the illusions unfold
Can sometimes bring displeasure
And even great pain
It's hard to let go of the illusion
We have known it our whole lives
To set it down and let it go
Seems sometimes more terrifying
Than embracing the love
Of the seemingly unknown
Exit the fearful places within you
Know that your demons and adversaries
Are all part of the dream
See them for what they are...Actors...smokey spectres
Playing a role, trying to learn
And find a way to become free again
The pain of the illusions
And machinations of the ego are strong
But you, you are divine and so much stronger
You can step out of the sludge and grime
You've allowed yourselves to become mired in
There is a better way
Embrace the love and light within you
And there you will find freedom
The true great expanse of existence

One Small Thing

You can master the most difficult tasks if you can do but one small thing...believe in yourself. You know that you can trust you. You know that you have faith in you. You know your strengths and dedication better than anyone else! Let no one challenge your beliefs about you not ever! Love only beginning with you and let that love always be your guide and filter for how you see the whole of the entire world and all of its inhabitants!  Life is beautiful.  You can do this! :)
