Hello Sweet Being
We are love. This is the reality. The truth of all we experience, of all we are in the world.
It is extraordinary and magnificent how complicated we create our understanding of this simple truth.
All the permutations of life whether they be individual, familial, societal or humanitarian – all interactive with each other and all weaving a vast web of love – across the planet and beyond to the universe.
It rather takes your breath away, doesn’t it?
And you are part of this.
Regardless of whether you are a light bright and joyful or a shadow deep filled with pain, whatever choice you are making right now to express yourself, you are love having a conscious experience of yourself.
For me, I was always curious about how humans ticked. What made them who they were? Why did they respond so?
It would be fabulous to think that we arrived on the planet with our wisdom to recognise that we are love fully fledged with an adult understanding, but we need life to be lived through us before we can embrace the truth of who we are.
My journey has been unique and yet not so different to others. I have dealt with the pain of physical and emotional abuse, lack of self worth and confidence, depression and despair at the death of family, friends and dreams and yet through it all I have searched for a way to be authentic, true to myself and been willing to risk much for the sense of love, of me, that I felt needed to be expressed.
It took me a while to realise that
- by looking out at others I could understand the ‘me’ within
- each and everyone I saw in the world was a reflection of me
- my worldly creation is an expression of myself learning about myself
Once these ideas took hold, change was inevitable. For I looked at my life and realised I wanted to explore and react to life differently than I had done up until that point.
This took me on a journey – a journey to realise myself and to be all that I can be in each moment.
I am still on this journey today.
In the beginning when all is new and discovery a joy the road to self realisation seems paved with gems and gold.
You begin by thinking that at some time in the future you will have reached your destination and you can celebrate your self realisation in what remains of your life!
After years on the road, we begin to tire of always being conscious.
We recognise that we have had many ‘ah-ha’ moments of enlightenment but although satisfying at the time and useful to us in the future are just as quickly swallowed back into the muddy world of living.
And so it is necessary to find a joy and happiness in living right now in the mud so to speak, being a ‘hue’-man being!
No wonder the Buddhists revere the lotus, for its roots are in mud and its flower is to the sun. This is a perfect analogy of our journey here in conscious living.
Getting to this point of acceptance is strewn with our judgements, fears and illusions and in this space we practice ‘self-terrorism.’
It is interesting to see how we are so consumed with our outward signs of terrorism when we carry so much of it within ourselves.
It is my hope that the terrorists on the outside will cease to exist when we have let go of the need to terrorise ourselves.
And so over the next few weeks I will be offering you snippets from my book
Soul Talk – How to share your wisdom with those you love.
If it offers you a helping hand, a point of support or opposition to your journey to self, it will have served its purpose.
It comes to you with love, without judgement for who you may be and with complete acceptance of the glorious being you have blessed me with knowing.
For without you, I would have no inkling of the magnificence of the I AM.
Most deeply I thank you,
Melody
