THE ASCENT
Once you begin to seek within
Know that there is no turning back
To the reality you once believed in...
All your senses heightened they become,
You will see much deeper
You will love far longer
You will feel much stronger
You will hear sounds much softer.
The stones on your path
Will turn to petals of lotus
The clouds into angels
The grass into a comforting warm blanket.
You will speak the language of the trees
The birds, the jaguar
And the bees
Because...
You now feel free and complete!
Interdependent,
Interconnected,
Interbeing...
With all that’s within and without
Friends with your inner Warrior...
Your Lover...
Your Mother...
Your Magician...and
Your Wise Fool
All sacred aspects of who you are
No longer denied, no longer disowned
Archetypes becoming your true Guides
Unearthed shadows from deep down under
Now, healthy and alive
Journeying along with you
Walking the path
To your own inner light.
But first, you must be willing
The journey to begin
The time is now,
You can no longer cry
For the past or for the present.
Be willing to open up
Like a serpent shed your old skin
Making room for the new YOU,
Renewing your vows to yourself,
Re-writing your story,
Letting go of the old myth
Re-claiming your place in the world
By giving a new meaning to your past
It will set you free...
To become all that you came here to be.
Be willing to eat
From the tree of knowledge
The contract your ancestors
Made in the Garden of Eden
Is not real...is just a myth...
Suffering is not your cross,
And naked you are not...
No longer walk around in shame
Your eyes wide open
Can see through deception,
Dogma the world set upon you,
Without your consent
Enslaving all who accept it as truth.
Free yourself right now,
Sister of my heart
And begin a new script
Nothing is written in stone...
All can be undone...
Your brain, your cells, your thoughts
All re-programmed they can be
It requires only willingness to begin
On your part.
Transformation, change from within
Is a natural process,
Organic in its nature
It can’t be rushed, it can’t be stopped
It flows when ready you decide to be
For you have the power
Always within your very being.
Free will is yours to have
Always has been
Always will be
Granted you seek
Your place in the world
Engaging and embodying
Your Authentic Self,
When you work, speak, sleep and walk
When you pray and meditate
When you give thanks
To the stars and the moon
Becoming ONE
With all that is sacred...
For nothing is profane,
Everything has meaning
According to the intention you set,
And the attention you willingly choose
To build your life upon!
A rock that sustains you
When life trembles under your feet
When you have no one to turn to.
For what is there, but pure love
When all is unveiled and revealed?
The cradle of life,
The cradle of fire
Passion
Creation
Forgiveness
Total integration
Into the Whole of Creation...
The Collective Mind,
Intelligence beyond measure...
A Sacred space we all belong to,
Contributing consciously or not
To the Greater Good
Of all humankind!
Beloved sister,
Surrendering to what is
May be harder than it seems,
Requiring trust,
Acceptance,
Compassion,
Allowing truth to surface
Without trying to fix it
Or even change it
Soon, coming to realize
That first we must feel lost
In order to be found...
To recreate the story of “I Am”
Releasing labels or names
Embracing infinite possibilities
Allowing heart and Soul
To receive
The abundance of love
Flowing unbound throughout the Universe.
For life is a true paradox
What seems right could be wrong
And what is good could still be harmful...
In the end proving
How lessons can be learned
In ways we don’t always understand.
So let time pass...
Let time flow on its own
One day, in Divine timing
In retrospect you will know
What it all means...
Why did he leave?
Why did I stay?
Why did I hurt?
Why did I not die?
In silence and reverence,
I invite you to seek
Within the feeling, the emotion
That’s still keeping you trapped
In loneliness and anger
Where in your body do you feel it?
Does it have a color?
A shape?
A texture?
A taste?
Slowly touch with your mind’s eyes
That place within your heart
And ask:
Am I truly sure
This is the ultimate truth?
Perhaps if I look a little deeper
Another truth will rise!
Perhaps I’m not a victim
Perhaps I am not abandoned
Perhaps I am not discarded,
For always another perspective is offered
When digging deeper than the surface.
As once a wise man said,
The mirror becomes cleaner and cleaner
As we go deeper within
No reflection, no projection
Of our own wound on the other
For the truth is,
What we can’t stand in others
Is just a part of us
We still can’t own completely
In our own lives.
So know that when we judge and criticize
Love becomes illusive...
For the two can’t live together
Within the spaces of our heart.
Indeed,
The ultimate goal is to achieve freedom
Peace of mind...
Happiness and unconditional love
For the Self and others...
Falling in love with our own Self
Is not what we’ve been taught
How can I be selfish, you might ask?
How can I love myself more
Than I love others?
Kant, the philosopher, said in his thesis,
His Categorical Imperative...
That nothing has worth and value
Unless it comes from duty and sacrifice.
Well, that was then...
The age of sacrifice has ended
A new era has arrived!
We are evolving as a Whole
As souls we want to be real and original
Without pretense and manipulation
Masks we’ve been carrying for so long
Are now falling to the ground
Authentic we become,
In touch with our true self
Embracing the darkness
And judging no more,
The self, the self of others
Knowing with every breath we take
We are never alone
But part of the Collective
Part of the Whole........................................................
