The Insanity of the Lives I Left Behind

Image by manfredrichter on Pixabay

Disconnection


These times of healing are shit difficult. I'm not even going to censor the swear words today.

I am finally reaching a point of balance within myself. Some days it feels like I am really inhabiting this body, that the fingers are mine, the soles of the feet are mine .

My expressions become more poetic and eloquent, and I'm not focussed or obsessed on how perfect other people are.

Some days are like this.

But most days, the insecurity and the low self esteem of lifetimes comes to the surface.

Now, the thing is, I still don't know or maybe I don't want to clear the emotions the moment they come up.

I know the basics of emotion Code and can use a magnet on my conception meridian and clear it.

I told myself ages ago, I ought to.

But, heck, do I actually heal myself that way? Heck.

The situation for me as a whole stifles and ekes me out; the circumstances I find myself in are increasingly suffocating.

I can't be with the birth family any longer.

Either they have failed gloriously in the task to awaken to love and truth, or they were never meant to.

Can't have any conversations with them; I sound crazy to them.

What's worse is the disrespect I still receive from them, and none of them reflect upon their own selves to question if ever I have been correct in following my own soul's voice.

All my illusions are now being shown to me.

I still don't feel like going out, or doing anything fun. It's literally been healing after healing after healing. And working to earn money. The joy that I worked hard to garner within me has gone for this job.

I'm here because I still haven't found a way forward. Making mistakes due to the fact I really just don't care any longer.

I work in an environment whereby even if they were light-workers or healers, one would never know because of the amount of bs and crap that's brought into the workplace. There have been many days of recent I leave with physical issues in stomach or mind - I still am struggling with psychic protection. It feel, to me, that I keep picking up on their negative entities. I can't afford to do this another day.

It takes at least 50 deaths to wake up, and trust me, I'm just on the first level.

God, where do I go from here? Show me.

Friendships would therefore be difficult to maintain or form, because all the ones before were based on my continuing to be dysfunctional and broken.

There are two or three people I wish to still remain friends with, but they don't care for me the way I care for them.

All of them are males.

And I have to cut cords and let them go, because for some reason I bring nothing to their lives which is positive or noticeable.

Waking up is shit difficult. I seem to just keep losing people, even the good ones... And one of them IS actually awake.

Lekin kya karein? You can't resist this world and the shifting energetics that occur within us.

Souls that were so close to me become so distant. Such is life.

There is also goodness, but we don't give details of goodness because the nature of the internet has become so perverse that energies are drained and attacked, and that's no longer tolerable or tolerated.

May we all heal ourselves.

There's a lot of crap flying around, a lot of lives still living within us even though we outlived those realities.

My prayer for those who are both awake and not: slow down, reflect, heal, wake up, and help each other to rise.

I find myself wishing to engage with certain creative souls, vocal souls, but the noise and chaos feels too much, I step back.

Maybe I'll feel very different in a few months time when I've gotten my own shit together.

But as of now, cooking a decent meal for myself and getting to this 9-5 job and working as best I can with a bunch of unaware, unhappy, disconnected souls is the best I can do.



Keeping silent and clearing judgements brings much grace.

That's something I've gone into seclusion this weekend to work on.

All of a sudden, I'm actually speaking to people like Waqas Ali and Isam Bachiri (whom I sort of idolise due to them being powerful older souls who've just paved the way for abundance and healing music and saved me from much deeper sorrow)... On Instagram, but still! Waqas actually replied to me, and it felt so validating.

As though, again, I now exist on this planet.

And now, need to drag this body exhausted from past life healing up to do the mundane chores I wish I didn't have to do every damned weekend.

It's not what I came here to do.

But it is what I find myself doing.

These are not complaints, just realisations of where I am and where I wish I was in life.

In the end, to be as humble as dust, one pays the price of humiliation and a complete stripping down of any artifice and fakeness, lies and deceit towards oneself and God.

self expression



I'm finding it a bit easier to express to people verbally how I feel.

And at the same time, I am finding some really unhappy people taking out their crap on me, the last was a new mother who came to my workplace and treated me like a servant. The funny thing is that she was from what is classed as an oppressed ethnic minority. I just tolerated her, as my energy has worn thin with humans at this time.

This year has shown to me all the places whereby my ego has been grabbing onto things and people and experiences that are not for me.

Creativity has been blocked entirely, and I am working on healing some stuff inside of me, to help me progress.


As usual, I am alone in this, and lonely.

As usual, ghosts from the past come to haunt me in the silent, darkness at night. I speak to them, I tell them how I feel, there is no answer, not even to my "salaam".

I have been distracting myself with Indian cinema and Bollywood interviews. Makes me happy to a least be associated with Indian lineage, even if my own particular family's lineage is mightily f*cked up.

I have made some firm decisions, that I am now awaiting my dear Allah to help me finalise and materialise.

This will change the fabric of this earth, and grant me some everlasting peace.

Jab insaan itna thaktha hai dunya se, logon sey, umeedein jab sab khojatein hain, phir focus karna parta hai towards something that works better.

Haar maanne koi buri baat nahi hai.

We go back to the drawing board and take a huge rest, and then pick lighter challenges and come back down again.

In other news, I just learned that Sikhism is only 500 years old, and was merged a little between Hinduism and Islam. So interesting.

I like the energy behind Sikhism, feels very pure - especially when I listen to Ik Onkar by Harshdeep Kaur.

These are just disjointed thoughts - I've had the flu and it's kicked my butt again.Bollywood is keeping me connected and grounded.

Issi bandi ko zyaada inkesaari ki zaroorat par rahi hai... kya karein?

This song is my latest love - I just discovered it:

Deeper Than That

Deeper than Love at First sight.
THE SOUL CONNECTION IS DEEPER THAN THE EYES MAY SEE AND PERCEIVE. It is what is seen beyond the eyes that triggers our remembrance. This remembrance comes in different forms throughout lifetimes which we’ve experienced as soul on our soul’s journey. You see, it isn’t simply our bodies that are on this journey, it’s most certainly our soul’s initiation which prompted our formation and our willingness to take on human form in order to fulfill some mission we signed up for. While we may not remember the mission initially, our souls most certainly do. Which is why many times as we travel though life, we may not understand the meaning for certain occurrences, yet in retrospect we learn the meaning of the experience. So what we feel, and what we perceive are usually introductions for experiences which have yet to materialize and the meaning usually involves a much broader scope because it is heavenly. In this way there is no such thing as failure, only transcendence, only the implementation of butterfly affects which will most certainly have their way further than the eyes may see because they are steadily fueled through and by soul’s intent.
THE SOUL CONNECTION IS LOVE. What is Love? It is the very energy which ensured our safe entry on to this earth plane. It is the energy that we recognize through connection. It is consistent, patient and steadfast. It gives our minds the ability to dream and our souls the urge to travel. It brings true meaning to our lives. And so, as we walk in Love, there are doors which continuously open for the advancement of Divine mission. I’ve often heard that God will not put on us more than we can bare; it’s often resonated as truth. For as soul, we are resilient, we are open; we want to know and stay in the knowing of God through expansion as triggered through our ascension process.
THE TWIN FLAME CONNECTION IS DEEPER THAN THE EYES MAY SEE OR PERCEIVE. It is that of Love. It is a mission involving dualism. Where masculine and feminine are defined as one soul with counterbalancing present within each and every soul in human form. The duality aspect from a Twin Flame perspective is that I feel my masculine aspect was masterfully placed within the psyche as a trigger for soul remembrance. As the masculine human form makes entrance into the feminine’s sacred space, it’s merely a subtle reminder or final snippet in a puzzle which consists of mutuality. The same may be said for the feminine aspect. He recognizes the divine feminine counterpart through the counterbalancing feminine aspect within the strength of his own masculinity. And so this phenomenon is as real and as sacred as the sun rising each day, and is as natural as the sun set as well. You see, all of this is being recorded, this whole journey, and I’m beginning to learn that as we transform in this life, the opportunity to create and co-create the journey of our choice remains the same. What we decide to create will remain a conscious decision until the very day we leave this plane. And so, may all we do align with the soul’s mission, in understanding that we are more than this skin, this hair or these eyes. While I do feel that these eyes are most certainly the windows to the soul. I can literally hear what isn’t said through them at times…~ Shameika Pearson

A channeled Message for Twin Flames as Venus Stations Direct | Curated Post

A channeled Message for Twin Flames as Venus Stations Direct

http://twinstrology.com/channeled-message-twin-flames-venus-stations-direct/

 

Venus Retrograde 2017 is a transit that you will likely remember for a long time. It’s been a rough few weeks of taking a serious look at our past relationships. Venus official moves forward tomorrow but today she is stopped in the sky, conjunct Chiron, trine Vesta and square Saturn, who is also at a standstill. This is making the energy intense to say the very least. As Venus/Chiron squares Saturn, you are seeing the soul wounds you have been carrying through many incarnations. They are coming to the surface and being broken down.

This energy is empowering sacred union with your twin flame and yet, the energy can feel like anything BUT that. Are you feeling a complete disconnection from your twin and your union? Perhaps a lack of emotions? Are you being pushed to focus on yourself rather than them?

This has a reason behind it. One of the gifts of sacred union is the enhancement of creative abilities. In sacred union, the masculine and feminine reach balance and this allows manifestation, or creative abilities, to become much more rapid. With this increased ability also comes increased responsibility. If you are being given the ability to create your reality, what is it you are creating? Vesta is assisting all of you with this part as she brings the energy of purification, including purification of our motives, as well as dedication to mission.

Sacred union is going to manifest from within you. If you are still giving your power away to external forces you aren’t ready for this phase of union. The disconnection will show you that you CAN move forward alone. Giving your power away to your twin is still giving your power away. That has ended.
Many twins are in the process of moving up into another aspect of themselves or embodying more of their Christ-consciousness. Very fitting considering Christians are celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ around the world at this time. Again, you need to be in this higher-consciousness to use your creative energy responsibly.

Going through the process of this embodiment is like having your foundation collapse. Things are being rearranged. It’s chaotic energy. It’s a complete letting go of everything so that the new can be formed. To me, it feels like being in a void. You may have experienced this letting go in many areas of your life over this retrograde period; emotionally, physically, mentally. You are opening yourself to the new timelines that are being birthed with Venus, Saturn and Chiron.

I am being shown that the solar plexus chakra is key right now. Twin flames are experiencing a rebalancing of this chakra, which is our power-center. Some may have experienced physical symptoms as this chakra was activated at some point during the retrograde and likely it was in conjunction with your twin’s energy, meaning your twin was feeling it, too.

When the solar plexus is blocked, we embody some of the negative traits associated with the feminine energy. We have low self-esteem. We can become over-emotional. There is difficulty setting boundaries and suffering from co-dependency. Passivity can be an issue. We play the victim or become martyrs. We feel depressed and alone.

When the solar plexus is overactive, there is a tendency to associate with negative traits of the divine masculine. There is a tendency to control or to dominate others. To be very judgmental. We become very rigid. Nothing is ever good enough. We feel like we know it all. When the solar plexus is blocked, we are too open but when it is overactive, we are not open enough.

When your solar plexus is healthy, you are self-confident, empowered and responsible. You are in control of your emotions and thoughts, which allows your inner guidance to come through. You love yourself while being able to honor others. When challenges come up, you are able to meet them. You know when to take action. The opinions of others do not control you. Goodbye co-dependency! You can remain calm in the face of adversity. People are drawn to you because you are open and understanding without being a pushover.

You can see how being balanced in the solar plexus is an important step in balancing your energy and coming into sacred union. That is why this is happening now. It’s leading you to that place of responsibility that is necessary for your manifestation.

This is allowing twin flames to feel comfortable in that place of complete letting go and opening to new opportunities. You feel safe enough to allow your new self to be born. When the time comes for action, you will be ready and able to move forward. If things begin to manifest that you don’t understand, and this is going to happen, you won’t become a slave to your emotions.

Trust in this process now, beloveds. Take this time for yourself. It will keep you balanced through your transformation. Whatever is happening, your soul is in charge. New energy is here for the taking. Your creative powers have never been stronger. The new cannot come in if there is no room for it so do not hold on to the old that wants to fall away. Like the trapeze artist, you must let go and spring towards the next bar, allowing yourself to be in that gap for a split second.

Saturn is still on the Sabian symbol, “A splendidly built bridge, a heritage of unknown ages, still spans the beautiful and wildly primitive stream.” That primitive stream represents the chaotic creative force. The bridge is joining the old and the new. You are in the center of that bridge right now.

Technically, you are in neither place. Which way will you go? Back towards the old ways? Or will you step forward into the new? That which has never been before?

And do you feel safe enough within yourself now to walk that bridge alone? You must choose for yourself and your twin must choose for themselves. The choice will be made individually yet always knowing you are one. You will not fully know the others choice until you begin to move forward in your own decision. You are balanced. You are strong. Step towards your destiny.

Without needing to justify the act of writing



And then there came a point in the life of my life when I asked myself, what happens when you truly have lost your craft? When it feels like that was the most previous thing you owned or made an identity around that the universe asked you to give away in order for peace to reclaim itself inside your cells? Or something as fancy as that.

I celebrated an anniversary yesterday. Seven years of the prodigal daughter returning to Anglo-Saxon ground in order to conquer and heal an entire planet. In layman's terms, I returned to the UK with full intentions of qualifying as a counsellor and something else random. What was not on the original flight plan was the entire "waking up and becoming divine" section.

No one was notified of this anniversary. I felt had I mentioned it to anyone, I would not be able to maintain their questions online (as, currently, there is no one to maintain a gaze with. Yet another sentence I write and wish I was back in the 90s with those enormous Mac computers and hideous green computer screens. As a generation, we grew up way to fast - now we all are facing the facts about chem trails, thousands of dead salmon washing up on the shores of Southern Chile and false flag media stories.).

It is truly unsafe now for anyone of my generation to indulge in nostalgia or nostalgic stories of the past. They were all mental constructs. Our DNA was a lot denser then than it is now, therefore life didn't feel as heavy - but that never means it wasn't that heavy.

I can't seen any justification for me to continue to believe something about the Soul Plan Contracts, about my solely being a writer. What can a writer do but write?



This planet needs real action. Energies removed and energies revived.

Someone was having a clear out yesterday (I was helping with the clearing out) and gifted me a sizeable pile of unused writing paper, including two legal pads.

My writing had a different tone to it when in medium yellow background. I just wrote and wrote, without the fear and the constriction I have been feeling for a very long time.

Yet writing can only do so much and I have now realised that my soul signed up for more active role in soothing this planet.

Opinion is free, but let's not make it cheap.

You learn to read and write and somehow feel that society and human civilization will evolve even further. Yet something in me refuses to go to that next stage when my young child in Syria has just been gassed with some awful unknown chemicals. How can anyone not see?

The relatively superficial talk and discussions I have overheard or taken part in over the last few years are now beginning to come back up at the back of my throat.

Every day I waste looking for another cupboard cut-out job, meant for the candidate to fit the job and smooth over the rough, unique, human, divine edges of their being when necessary, is another day a child starves, an animal is killed for meat, people are beaten up in India BECAUSE an animal is killed for meat, and the insane policies are continues and everything that was originally designed to benefit humanity, including this very computer I am typing at, has now all turned against us because we are empowering ourselves.

Every time I sense a hit of my own power back, either I or something external does all it can to destroy it.



You can't really talk about this things yet in large circles to people who would understand. Understanding, we all have, I stand corrected. But the depths of the concern for this planet is increasing every day. I can't sleep well, I can't relax enough 

There is a divine reason why my blog is seriously under the radar and I don't really invest enough time or energy into it.

I do have a remaining trace of seemingly real fear of the consequences of speaking up to boldly and too loudly.

And secondly, actions are what this bleeding and totally molested planet needs.

I can write many poems or angry posts, but nothing I write will stop the Fukushima nuclear really affecting us. The children, the poor, the.... at times like these, I really must learn to breathe deeply.

It's worse than the worse horror flick. It's REAL. So in relief, in harsh relief, all the superficial advertisements that encourage us to consume, or celebrate National Hat Day (seriously, have we devolved to this - a National Day for things to somehow regulate our emotions and obedience levels - to ascertain citizenship, which - how many times does this need to be repeated - is an entirely human man-made construct that means jack all. I've had British citizenship all my life and am still being regularly screwed over by our darling insane politicos. They have some emotional or mental health issues - no regular person would ever pass laws and regulations that they have to harm the entire population of humans and chop us at our knees so we have to fight so much harder to get to highest potential levels. It should never have been this challenging to get to where you wish to in 2017 - and that child pedophilia and sex trafficking is really happening and not a top priority - a flipping trident nuclear war system has priority over everything sane and humane. And this why I can't keep genuine hundred per cent respect for people who are in charge of charities yet grovel towards the establishment - something is amiss when you do that.

Dignity of the human soul and divine spark is paramount in our lives and it is TIME we woke up to that simple truth.).



When I started waking up 7 years ago, I was full of zeal because it was new and I assumed it also promised me a breakthrough that I needed and didn't get when I had gone on spiritual pilgrimage to Iran in 2007.

In 2017, the illusion that 2012 or 2016 would bring relief is gone. It won't happen in my lifetime.

I am unsure how a planet would sustain itself having being so severely raped, poisoned and disrespected.

When we look at it from the slightly pessimistic lens I have been seeing things, it seems fair to say I believe in an overarching being who is omnipotent and therefore has powers to click re-set or destroy and rebirth.

There are now perhaps too many voices and egos grappling for various resources that may actually turn out to be finite. Miracles abound but if the human race still insists on being in grunt mode (grunt mode being not waking up and living life in a two-dimensional egoic state, just as a five year old would behave perpetually), I honestly don't understand how Gaia can continue to take all the beating and still feel dignified.

Of course, that is why I am here and why a lot of us are here and went through a lot of stuff in order to wake up. being woke is not pleasant. I told my father that a day ago when I showed him the chem trails and he began mocking me with his laughter that sometimes sounds terrifyingly canned.

I promise you, none of us will ever get so bored that we invent lies and conspiracy theories to keep ourselves entertained. Most of us still wish that the planet just contained light and fluffy cotton candy. Chem trails? I'd never be able to dream of that stuff in a million years. Yet, someone did. I have had some thoughts that I probably picked from the collective unconscious and those are better dissolved. Not pleasant. Not even not acted upon in history.



Some days, I wish I was still unawake. I might relax and not have the quite constant panic episodes on the London underground. They kick up worse when unsettled people clamber onto the tube with all their content and expect me to sort it out energetically.

I have just gotten fed up of that and leave my seat and many times the train carriage and have waited for the next train.

It is also deeply disheartening to think that after seven years of promises and eloquently written articles about critical mass and first wave and second wave people, we still have so many people who are unawake.

I still don't meet people in my daily life to whom I can speak to, people who would become my allies and my vision community.

All the light workers I know are going through immense personal issues, not very pleasant and seem to enjoy being lone rangers or led like sheep by those flashy gurus who give you wrist bands to wear as yet another sign of branding.

So, for now, writing will need to be not as important as waking up and taking action.

Our waters are being polluted. Does that not make you feel sad? People at Standing Rock were entirely humiliated for wanting clean drinking water. Do we not see what's happening?

Water.

Our food is being poisoned and manipulated beyond belief? Does that not make you question? The honey bee is going to become extinct. They are dying. How is this even happening?

Vulnerable people are being told they can't have tax money for food and medicines, yet Amazon and Costa Coffee and all the big companies DO NOT PAY TAXES in the UK and ARE STILL being REWARDED for that? Does that not even make you flinch?

HSBC. Enough said.

Animals are being maimed, tortured, killed for meat and fur, for being a boy if it is a baby chick.... since when did we forget that animals are a part of us, a part of our souls?

The UK still has a redundant monarchy that perpetuates itself by painting itself as fluffy and benign. Why do we not see what's going on? I hope Diana Spencer and Modi al Fayed didn't both get assassinated in vain.

We do not need all of the flashy stuff, not when my brother is dying in Somalia in a famine and the only one with a heart is a basketball player who is being humiliated for being true and down to earth. But you see, at the end of the day, he is the one flying 50 tonnes of food to Somalia.

A friend of mine asked me recently how is it that all the New Age articles and books seem to still focus on the fluffy stuff, not talk about what real spiritual journeys are about? They are dark beyond belief and calling it a dark night of the soul doesn't put meat onto things.

She and I came up with the theory that the authors a) haven't really gone through the darkness like we are going through b) they have gone through it but either wanted to forget about it or didn't know how to help others through it so remained silent and c) are heavily guided and edited by publishing companies, including Watkins. There's also this inherent obsession with keeping positive and not manifesting crap through thoughts and words.

She also feels that because there are many younger souls waking up, the authors and teachers don't want to scare them off by telling them all the dark stuff is real and that every soul that dies before it's biological death will have to taste the darkness of the Shadow! I agree. It's intense and makes you question your entire reasons for being.

But today, whether it was due to the yellow legal pads or my having shamanic cord removals last week, I wrote and I wrote.

Without needing to justify the act of writing.

And I yearn for the day I can just be the writer and everyone is sorted. Not having to justify my yearning for putting magical words to paper and seeing them ignite a soul in a way I had not anticipated.

But, not now.

Now, we are activists and we bloody act in the name of what is decent and honourable. We stick it out. We get the strength from wherever we possibly can.

For they underestimate the human spirit. Or rather, the divine that resides within each of us.

We all have free will and most of us will choose to continue being asleep and never waking up. There are myriad reasons for why a soul would choose that actively on a daily basis. One of the simple truths is that becoming awake ain't for sissies. And so the younger souls are buffered with delicate veils of illusions to play around in until such a time when they are strong enough to bear different planes of reality.

I know I am one of them and have 
         accepted this 

as it brings me towards humility and 

               whilst prostrating 
                                     at the dust of my Beloved's feet, 
                                                                             I find great heights

I'm Not That Kind of Lightworker | Curated Post

I’m Not That Kind of Lightworker 

 

https://www.lovehaswon.org/love-blogs/im-not-that-kind-of-lightworker
By Victoria1111, 04/02/2017


Earlier today, as I stepped outside to enjoy a very rare treat of warm sunshine, I noticed the chemtrail thugs were at it again.

“You fuckers,” I mumbled.

Then I heard the words of others throughout my life, including some in the Ascension community:  “Language, Victoria.  Watch your language.”

Then I remembered the movie “Michael” with John Travolta, 1996.  He’s at the breakfast table, shoveling large piles of sugar-coated cereal in his mouth.  The newspaper people are asking him questions about his unusual behavior.  For an angel, shouldn’t he be clean.  Shouldn’t he have a halo. Shouldn’t we be hearing beautiful harp music around him.

Michael leans in, smiles and says, “I’m not that kind of angel.”

Well, I am not that kind of Lightworker either.

At least not all the time.

 

I am the type to stir the pot of Truth with a beautiful chalice, pulling out all the dirt I can find, then pointing it out to people while saying “Look at that crap! Do you see it?  Let’s get to work cleaning it up!”

I have a deep abiding Sense of Purpose to Help.  To help uncover Truth. To help share that Truth.  And to help ensure none of us are ever victimized again by those who have shielded us from the Truth.

Yes, there are different types of Lightworkers.  I am one part fairy/angel of soft gentleness combined with one part kick-butt Rogue Warrior. Always coupled with a massive wall of compassion and humbleness.

Well, most always.

So when I see others who call themselves a Lightworker claim there is really only one real type, I say nonsense.




We come in a variety of packages.
All with the same purpose.
To spread Source Love.
To speak Truth.

Sometimes gentleness is called for.
Other times the Warrior needs to come in and clean house.

For you see, Love In Action looks different in all situations, especially in the world known as the Matrix.

For to break down such a system requires ALL types and beautiful varieties of Lightworkers.
Those who put sugar on their cereal.

And those who don’t.

Love brings up anything unlike itself | Curated Post

 Sophie Bashford

"Love brings up anything unlike itself." - ACIM


And so, when the Light comes - however it comes - what you have been avoiding, running from, pushing down, numbing, and denying…surfaces.

When the Light comes, it unearths all your fear.

It starts to work on the barriers you have created to avoid accepting your own power.
It brings up everything you wish to avoid looking at.

The myriad ways you allow your ego to control you. The critical, harsh and judgemental voice that convinces you of your inherent unworthiness, your weakness, your failures, your lack of significant meaning in the world.

What difference could you possibly make? Surely it's too risky to put yourself out there and charge the world up with your unbridled and unguarded love?

When the Light comes, it brings up everything that you are at the deepest core of your Soul-Being.
This is a painful experience for many.

It proves to you instantly that you have been settling for far less than your Soul desires.
You may have been pretending that a life of mediocre purpose, mediocre interaction, mediocre connection, mediocre intimacy - is enough.

Mediocrity is not the vibration that you were born to accept.

You are not here to dumb yourself down and follow the herd.
You are here to champion and re-claim a deeper relationship with life.

You are here to connect Soul to Soul with everyone - not ego to ego.

You are here to remember how to be intimate with soul energy, how to hold the heart of another in your hands with compassion and truth, how to create relationships that deeply heal, nurture and revive the spirit.

When the Light comes, it brings up first all the ways in which you have been dancing on the edge of your truth.

You will have to face yourself.



When the Light penetrates, it will reveal everything that is not true.
Light is Truth.
Light is also Love.

The Love reveals where your Soul has been suffocating. At first, you may feel more suffocated as the pain of how you deny your Soul surfaces.

Your ego or personality may react by vehemently defending it's fearful position, it's dogmatic hold on you, it's need to keep you limited.

You, have let the Light in.

You have handed over your life, even if you don't know it, to a Higher Source of wisdom.
This Light is working through you constantly in ways that you don't always perceive.

One day, everything may fall apart, blow up in your face, or become so unbearable that you eventually confess your heart's truth. It becomes all at once too exhausting and impossible to keep all this moving energy inside. It becomes too toxic to remain drowning in the grip of your fear, and the choices you have made from that place of fear.

The Light is here. It has come to lead you firmly to where you belong.
The Light illuminates the darkness and it also holds the keys to lasting freedom. It is everything that you have always been searching for. It is inside you, and yet you had forgotten. It is here for you, and yet you believed you had lost it forever.

It is all you need, because it is the answer to everything.
You are in the Light today.
Say nothing, unless you are guided by the Light.
Do nothing, unless you are guided by the Light.



Let the Light show you where you are most needed, and what is the highest choice for you.
Let the Light unearth your fears, in order to provide the perfect ways to heal them.
When the Light comes, there is nowhere left for you to remain small, mediocre or powerless.
When the Light comes, the music of your Soul begins to play again, and it is irresistible.

The Light brings up what is often painful to face - all that you have been denying, avoiding, resisting and pushing down - and yet the surfacing of this pain is the greatest signal available that soul-rocking growth is about to occur.

A Cosmic Love Letter

I had to listen to this twice to actually comprehend that someone who is teaching spiritual truths actually went so far to tell us how much we are loved and deserve to be here.

With such authority.

Of course, I'm feeling a lot better than I have for a month or so. So it sinks in much deeper.




My skin is vibrating, my heart is feeling relief. My soul feels immense relief.

I will allow you to just take this in and absorb it. My words are failing me currently.

The Wrist

THE WRIST


Who are you? The inner vision of consciousness?
The heart? A sacred half-light, are you that?


Do you grow gatherings? Are you a friend
of the sun, who comes and goes so quickly?


Do not forget your vertical passage,
the night of power,
and don't hide from the one
for whom all our secrets are down in the pillow under
his head, doctor of lovers, soul
for this thick world,
the one who spirals iron
like dough and makes the body lightedness.


No belief is necessary to enter this tent
where one love story changes to another.


I remember that with these words brought here
by a falcon from the wrist of Shams,


~~~~~~~~~


If the beloved is everywhere,
the lover is a veil,


but when living itself
becomes the Friend,
lovers disappear.
 ~ Rumi


****


And therein, lies the real quest of my soul.


REMEMBER. REMEMBER. REMEMBER.


You are meant to be in society, but you do not have to be like any one of them.


That is NOT your role, so remind yourself once more.  Quit falling back to sleep.


And ask for where to go from here, because you are running conflicting desires.


Either desire to shift  entirely and be down with it, or desire to fulfil your tasks here and learn the lessons that they annoyingly tell you you aren't learning.





If the beloved is everywhere,
the lover is a veil,



but when living itself
becomes the Friend,
lovers disappear.

the Tyger's jaws

the Tyger's jaws (temporary title)

What does it take to not be a lemming in the world?
To be free to be yourself?
To feel safe to speak, to see, to hear....
What does it take to inspire yourself?
Outside of parameters, systems, rules, myths, laws of attraction, protocols,
And all the rest of it?
What does it take to remember who you are?
That young girl who went to Canada with misty eyes full of hope?
They opened an entire world to her,
Full of Romanticism, analysis, kindred spirits,
Potential, never really actualised.
North America, for all its faults, has an ever expanding energy.
You go there, you feel liberated, like the eagle.
Nothing to do with amendments, laws, spying.
Just Earth. Mountains. From sea to shining sea.
A yawning canyon that swallows up whole the entire calm sky.
A drawl that loosens the inhibitions.
Fantasies perhaps.
Yet, pioneering in a sense.

I always think I've understood,
I've caught on to the elusive fabric of reality.
An eighth energy centre, sparkling clean.
They say I live outside my body too much.

I can't seem to paint upon this canvas,
nothing meaningful,
Droplets, squiggles, a half hearted pear.

I do not remember agreeing to this,
nor do I understand how I could be so blind and closed up, walled in.

Yet, here I am, this husk of a woman,
Breathing before you
Disoriented.

I have forgotten all.

"Where are my soul friends?
Where is the flint to ignite my fire?"
She asks forlornly.

Who are those who truly understand? Hopes, dreams, passion... ou-etes vous?

Sometimes, we agree to things,
To delay things.
To abstain.

To attain vertical height and levitation,
To do acrobatics in the higher realms,
at the risk of any horizontal progress at all.

We forget that both are possible,
And that self punishment and self denial,
and this unbearable sense of pining for that which has been lost,
Or for that which will is not to be.

Is futile.

Futility in existence...
And yet,
Lilacs bloom every spring.

And she remembers how Chicken Soup
for The Teenage Soul
saved her life. 
Continuously revived her,
After countless mini deaths.

The ones who artfully sliced her heart,
then mended it with cookies, milk and
a book for teenagers going through angst.

Poetically messy and artful in decimation.

When do we stop regenerating as lemmings,
and start Being fearless individuals,
unswayed by energies and stardust pelting down upon the earth,
unceasingly, cutting up into ribbons,
then carefully piecing us all back,
raw, bloodless,
Real?

Time and space do not exist.
The cycle is endless.

First, there was the Word.
And then,
Chaos reigned.

Such is the pattern.
There is measured kindness melted into
the Tyger's jaws.

Parting the Red Sea

I remembered Moses yesterday.

He is one of the mentioned prophets. Raised as a prince. Led a nation. Manifested miracles. Killed a man, was forgiven for it. Learnt to transcend his anger and impatience. He settled down and had a family. Meditated for forty days and nights and his nation went astray - again. His right hand was Aaron, the next in line for prophethood. He turned staffs into snakes.


Yesterday, I remembered him as the child in the reed basket, floating from the arms of one loving mother into the arms of a second loving mother.


Betrayed by memories of a prophetic dream, he was presented with a plate of dates and a plate of live, hot coals.

He had a choice. He had a choice between the easy life and a more arduous life.

He was divinely guided toward the easy life: to save his earthly life and allow him to fulfil his destiny, he burnt his mouth permanently when he chose the glowing coal and attempted to eat it.

Only after which was he able to accomplish everything that is mentioned in the holy books.

It was only after he burnt himself as an innocent child who had forgotten his path that he, much later, was in a divinely destined position to part the Red Sea and bring his people to their unique salvation.

Not before.

*** 

I can relate to some of that.

***

Which parts of your forgetful Self now need to be burnt for Me before you can be raised to the level of Moses and part your own Red Sea on your way to liberation?

Critical Mass

Critical Mass
by Sukaina Juma
25 May 2012


At certain times of the day, she feels light headed. She has to sit down: either on the grass, or on the pebbled pavement.

When they get back to the house so she can get ready for the second wedding in her extended family, she has to take five minutes of sitting on the carpeted floor and close her eyes and steady the whirring energy at the back of her head.

She wonders why.

Then realises that perhaps it's concussion.

The skin at the base of her skull must have split at the first contact of the ceramic. The pain was instantaneous, unbearable. She heard him slam the front door shut as he left the house in disgust.

Her friend was right. If she couldn't come up with another strategy to make him be quiet and get away from her, she would groove in this pattern - again.

Repelling a menacing, verbal attack from the old, familiar, paternal, ancestral, unaware, threatening masculine energy with a physical attack on the self... because she deserved it.

She screamed, screamed, screamed.... the pain was really different from the previous pain.... and she swore at herself.

Why would she do this to herself, again? After so many years? This is her defunct, teenage behaviour, her old pattern of unbelievable dysfunction. Reminiscent of a vibrant history of violence.

~~~

A few weeks before, she was asked: "Why do you hit yourself?"

Her wound was clearly demarcated on the left part of her forehead. A huge bump and a small, bloodied wound. There was also a cut on her hand, resulting from picking up the broken pieces of ceramic on the floor.

She couldn't comprehend, or it was meant to be misunderstood.

"Why do I hit myself or why do I hate myself?"

A smile. "Both. If you didn't hate yourself, you wouldn't hit yourself."

Blankness. "I don't know."

What is there to love?

~~~

She didn't feel the steady trickle of blood until much later... actually, it was the metallic smell of congealed blood that first took her notice a few hours after the actual event.

She then placed her palm on the nape and touched blood-matted hair for the first time. Cool. Another experience checked off the list.

There was no way she could wash her hair, the wound was open. There was also no way she could wear a head covering. It hurt too effing much. She also didn't want to show submission to a Lord when she treated her own precious body with such disregard.

She got herself out of the house, after asking for her entourage to protect her. First, someone told her to visit the cemetery. She hadn't done that in quite a while. But her legs couldn't carry her that far.

She didn't even feel like eating.

Someone called her a few hours afterward, after she had distracted herself by surrounding herself with people who would not see her through the myriad clothing racks and glitz and affluence.

"Are you still alive?"

"Yes, pretty much. You can't do much damage with a mug."

And then... she thought of the smell of blood, the congealed mass, the fact that she couldn't put her head against the seat of the car or on her pillow because of the pain...

"...actually, I didn't realise it would be so bad." She says this because she bled.

She doesn't need the human support, she has done worse without a single soul knowing or caring.  Just so that she could sleep.

The Divine presence was there. And on the off-chance it wasn't, that too was perfect.

She didn't tell her that she had bled. It wasn't important. Besides, it was several younger versions of herself screaming for attention, not this 28 year old crone.

It is interesting to be split into several versions of oneself, to view oneself dispassionately and to know that one is doing everything because this is the work. On another level, it really is all redundant and mundane.

And absolutely heart-breaking.

"You want everyone in your vibration to worry about you."

This doesn't register. It is not the first time she asks the caller to repeat the mystical phrase. After the fourth repetition, she realises that it is not just plain stupidity, or defence mechanisms. Or the inability to understand encoded messages because she is a measly medium evolved being (MEB).

She has lost enough blood to be lightheaded and disembodied. It doesn't make sense because it doesn't need to make sense.

It also doesn't have to be completely true.

As Wayne Dyer says, guilt and worry are two absolutely useless emotions.

At least her vision has cleared, the shops in Wimbledon sparkle in high definition in the spring sunshine.

"Did you want to kill yourself or just kill the problem?"

"I think it's the first one."

"Liar, liar! When people want to do something, they find ways of doing it."

"If you give me your foolproof plan, I promise to follow it step by step."

They both laugh. At the end of the day, this linear living is funny business.

The car drives into an underground parking lot and the phone connection is severed, and the energetic connection is also severed... once again.

It sometimes feels lonely to have a really small soul family. Especially when more and more of the existing soul members are choosing to drift away to join higher vibrating souls.

And create entirely different destinies.

***

She thought that the cousin's sacred marriage ceremony, which is famed for opening up the connections to the Heavens and to dissolve the veils and blocks would shift the energy.

The scholar spoke of marriage... as the recognition of two souls completing one another. Of the masculine and the feminine joining and leading one another to a new level of perfection.

To look for the beauty of the Soul in the person you choose to marry.


This biryani wedding is possibly the most beautiful, soulful and loving ceremony she has ever attended.

Perfection.

Perhaps the ego-mind had succeeded in completely disassociating her from her roots.  The last time she had been to this mosque was three months ago.

Perhaps, as her dear Imam Ali (a.s.) has said, look to the truth of what is being said, not to who is saying it.

But there was never any guarantee. Most of the lectures made her skin crawl, so she'd rather not go.

***

And yet, the pain of hearing those words on marriage and love and soul to soul union simultaneously accosted her.

Because of a fated encounter that brought distant news of a third union of two destined souls, minds and bodies.

Because she had deluded herself about her own love story... and the marriage contract and sermon verberated as though she were at that inevitable third sacred ceremony.

The naive, sentimental 26 year-old inside of her commanded attention.

The heart is deceitful, above all things.

She got up with the excuse of needing water.

She was ever grateful that this mosque was on her home turf, and that she was not having this meltdown in Stanmore, where she had been the previous weekend.

It was the result of His Infinite Mercy that her conscious mind had temporarily forgotten the reality of his exchanging wedding vows with his bride only a few weeks ago.

It must have taken place in exactly the same mosque. Possibly on the very the day that the Shi'ite mourning period ended. The day they wear red in celebration.

She had shared the same energetic space with the both of them, only with linear time and reality separating them.

It is a blessing that she can not read energies as yet.

The Universe is kinder than we give it credit for.

There are no mistakes, coincidences or shortcuts. Everything happens exactly as it is meant to.

Unfolding in Perfection.

***

She had had an amazing time at her other cousin's wedding. Wedding cake, plus three other kinds.

She met relatives she had last seen while at university. Her younger cousins were the same loving, angelic beings as she had remembered taking care of and playing basketball with during her time in Canada.

The youngest boy was pure light. He allowed her to ruffle his spiky hair as many times as she liked. She finally understood why she liked doing that to boys. It reminded her of stroking a cat.

***

She wearily clambered up the stairs to the children's section. She usually ended up doing that every time she went to the mosque. She could only feel at ease around animals and children. Sometimes, the children even smiled back.

That night, she was the only one there.

She cried for a bit. Sat down, and let the light headedness take its course.

She took out a turbah from one of the baskets and prostrated and her soul wept out all the crap once again.

Her carefully applied eyeliner and mascara smudged and created blackness around the eyes and onto the whiteness of the tissue.

Clearing, clearing.... it had been one and a half week since she had last cried.

Her soul had tried out laughter in the mean time and had liked it.

The soul also liked variety and desired a thorough, deep, profound cleansing.

"Please help me. Let me look less like death. I consciously choose to not go through this again. It's absolutely ridiculous."

She looked out of the window to the new crescent moon and the two solitary stars... the man giving a wedding speech said they were Jupiter and Venus.


***

Her mother had been calling every day... and most times, she had not been able to answer.  In another room, or on the Tube. Or just didn't hear the phone ring.

They finally connect.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes, just on my way to a friend's and then to the cousin's wedding tonight."

"Oh right, I forgot it was today. Look nice, and have fun."

"Yes, I'm just writing out the wedding card right now."

" I don't know why I am so worried. Are you sure you're okay? Everything will be fine, have faith in God. Things come in their own time."

She tells her about something completely separate, that did have an impact, but not the core cause of her injuries.

The mater says she'll give money in charity.

***

She couldn't eat the biryani, samosa or baklawa.

That's what happens when you buy doner kebab and chips at 3pm with a friend and hang out at Streatham Common for three hours, talking randomness.

She felt sick, and restless. Nowhere to go. So she went up and down the stairs, finding solace in the dark quiet upstairs, then going down finding solace in the chatter, the perfume and the glinting sequins of the variously coloured cloth.

She wiped off the trails of eyeliner, reapplied her lipstick and tried to make her hair look less straw-like in the bathroom mirror.

She practised her smile to match the occasion of her third (or fourth) cousin's marriage.

***

And yet, the grace of God encompasses even the most miserable of creatures....

They recognised her from when she was little, they remembered her mother's name. They shared memories of when she was "this small" and would knick their purses during the lecture, and then have her mum look for the owners later on.  They told her to visit the mosque more often.

One of her aunts asked her to visit the family in Kampala.

***

Kampala. That was the last year her grandfather was alive and would buy her "jugoo" (roasted peanuts in their red skin) rolled up in a newspaper cone when they went to the post office. That was the year they went to Jinja to eat freshly caught and cooked fish.

She remembered the scent of the wet, red earth after the torrential rain would rain down relentlessly on the grooved metalled sheet roof for an hour and then magically stop and the sun would force its way back into their reality. The peat would smell of baking then...

Kampala... lush, green... Africa.

Roots.

Roots that dig deep into the Earth, grounding one into the reality one finds oneself in.

She shivered as she remembered dodging the flying cockroaches at the cemetery.

It was a time of limbo - a year's reprieve from the business of living "real life". Amazing how, even in the depths of luscious Africa, one can find oneself in chains.

And continue the business of pining for, yearning for the impossible. And living in a constant daydream.

She had written a story about a powerful witch in a forest for her English project that year. She got the star for best story.

Hardly surprising. She is extremely good at telling stories.

***


Another aunt said she looked uncomfortable and flustered, and asked if everything was okay.

"Yes, I've just got a fever and a virus due to the change in the weather."

"Yes, but you had that same fever last weekend at the other wedding."

She smiled.

What can she say?

Last weekend was actually a good weekend, chère tante... and one cannot stop one's menstrual cycle, can one?

I've been trying to look and feel less than death, chère tante. I even pinched my cheeks and splashed water on my face.

I suppose the loss of blood has done funny things to me on both occasions.

***

They smiled at her. They asked her if she had eaten.

They hugged her.

They called her by her name.

They remembered her.

***

She stands outside the mosque, and carefully registers the people, and the building.

She grew up as a child here.

The brickwork is familiar. The air smells the same. A letter is missing from the name plate of the mosque.

She thinks to herself, "If they add another L instead of an S, it'll read Illamic Centre - a centre for llamas. Oh, I think I am so funny!"

As she waits, yet another ritual from the past, she turns her back away from the madding crowd and looks to the sky for the two stars, Venus and Jupiter. She can't see the crescent, nor two stars. Just the one.

"I need help, here."

***

At least she cleans up nicely.

She had bought clothes of the latest style from Southall two weeks ago so as to blend in with the rest of them. So as to measure up, not show up as a sore thumb. She had a hair straightener to tame her unruly curls. Her sole pair of heels matched with her sole evening bag: both an elegant, sateen black.

She had asked for her head to be healed during the night so that she could wash her hair: the invisible stitches threaded their way in the depths of her sleep.

Rinse and repeat, three times.

Imagine rainbow showers clearing off all the karma, the stuck energies, the core root cause.

Then take a ritual ablution to greet the new month, to wash off the blood, to wash off the heaviness, the hate, the grief, the confusion, to wash off the cords, attachments and blocks: to purify with a thorough purification.

Her legs ache. Her feet ache. Her head hurts.

Funny how that bruise from September re-emerged a few weeks ago, in sympathy. In order to clear the trauma created.

Or so she cleverly deludes herself into thinking.

***

"You are rotting," can also be misheard as "You are rotten".

A natural progression for carcasses.

***

Still waters run deep;
deep waters can also be mistaken as still,
they may be whirlpools of despair that sink all who come into contact with them.

Even lighthouses and rescue ships.

***

The message behind the words
is the voice of the heart.
~ Rumi

Seek not here the words,
Search them elsewhere.
Sing to me in the silence of the heart
And I will rise from the earth to hear
Your winning song.
~ Rumi

Flicker

It is a flicker, this Light.

It bursts aflame then peters out.

One forgets.

When transforming oneself,
one forgets who can be trusted.
Who is genuine.
Who loves you for who you are.
Regardless, even when you're
being a prime idiot.

I may be a light-worker,
I may be entirely deluded.

Either way, I am still a girl inside,
a breathing human being,
a woman in the making.
A goddess-to-be.

Learning, falling down.

So why would I put so much pressure on myself?

The extra knowledge,
or upcoming awareness.
Anticipation of greatness.
Pffffftttttttt!!!

Greatness comes through humility.
My ego creates mirages of greatness,
Ascension with a capital A.

Tears me away from myself.

Numbness, disillusion
repeating that which has
hounded me my entire life.

Disconnection, isolation, hermitising.

Assuming that my dear friends would
judge me as harshly as I did myself.

And then I finally did pick up the phone
and wondered.... why?

Why would I do this to myself?

You can't wash away all of the past,
nor would you want to.

Walks in the woods by Glendon,
hanging out in the cafeteria,
or praying salaat in the Women's Centre,
on the rare occassions when
we were all there together,
when our schedules all conspired
for us....
we would talk and laugh and talk....

I used to speak sometimes, other times I'd
be silent and observe.

A dead sinking in my heart.

"Why is it so hard to connect?
Why can't I FEEL anything, the way they do?!?!?!
They have passion, where is mine?!?!?!"

"Do you like being alone?" she asks me.
The automated response is YES.
But then, "I think it's mostly habit, a pattern,
and also, I get to be safe
and come across as a "cool" person "

What I forget to say is "of course not!"
But the past has affected my perception:
only child,
parents not too bothered about me,
never really fitting in with the kids at school,
betrayals, jumping off window ledges,
locking oneself up in the cupboard
in the hopes of being safe....

Being invisible is safe;
not moving, speaking or wanting anything
will lessen the burden on the earth and the parents
and the people upon whom she is dependent.

Hide from the giants.

Save oneself from humiliating oneself and making a fool of oneself.
If they got to know
the real me.....

And absorbing other people's
energies and patterns.

Instead of maintaining a high frequency
and lightening their energies, releasing their grief
as is my purpose for being,
I tend to absorb all the confusing stuff,
and become ego-ic and morose and crabby:
their shadowy mirror!!!

After everything, surely I can do just this much.
Since I obviously can't do anything else.
That other people are easily doing.........!!!!

I forget the good bits of me,
I forget that even when I was
only 8% me - it was still a good
8% of me there.

Who does crazy stuff like drink
an iced cappucino from Timmie's
and then dance to the Lumberjack Song
while waiting for a bus,
who walks 1.5 hours in one of the biggest
snowstorms to hit Toronto
that year just because I couldn't stand the
slow bus.

It might have been me.
It might have been an adverse reaction
to St John's Wort.

I pulled through for the MSA that year
when it mattered.

I learned French well enough to speak it when it matters.

I did my best.


And, with everything,
after all of it...
I graduated.

Do I enjoy being alone?
No, not really.

But all my soul sisters,
the ones who have truly been
a manifestation of Divine, pure love,
who have sheltered me when I couldn't go home,
who have held my hand and witnessed my
inarticulate sobs,
who have given me, unasked, what I never
thought I'd be able to ask for...
they live in other countries.

And currently, my new relationships have very short
sell-by dates.

Either I outgrow them and
can not be nourished by them or
they were meant to be as they
unfolded.

Smack, crash, bang.

Give me a piece of identity,
a shadow of a smile,
a bit of kindness,
loving words,
chocolate, ducks and cats in images,
a rollicking good time and hot chocolate in Cafe Nerro
a few astute compliments over magnetism and then....

A question of detachment.
An understanding that although I am indebted,
they gave willingly.
They were authentic in the moment
and are authentic now by not caring or bothering....

What decision does she make this time?

Does she wail "I have been abandoned!"

Does she mistrust men and women more
after these people have left?

Or does she pick up the phone,
call a friend whom she hasn't spoken to in ages.....
remember what oatmeal cookies are
and remember that,
as her postcard says,

Someone loves me very much
in Canada

as they do in Pakistan, and in London too?

She still plays to the illusion that strength comes from being alone;
I can control things then.

I won't inflict myself upon others.

The Medusa or Ice Maiden effect
that makes them all run away...

If they were ever to find out how
soft,
vulnerable,
and the expansive yearning
that is within this Soul-heart of mine...

it would all fall apart!

How can anyone handle such intensity?
Why would they want to bother?
Why would they bother with me?

But people who like being alone,
do not complain to their Lord in the dark night,
tears streaming down their cheeks:
"I complain to Thee about my loneliness!"

I am part of the collective.

As much as I need people with me,
physically as well as energetically....
they, too, must need me,
or even more importantly,
they must crave and enjoy my company.

I have some dharma to serve here.
Therefore...

Only children cope with being alone.
There is no other choice.

It is more a learned helplessness for me.
You try, you fail.... you try, you fail.
Then you resign yourself to your aloneness.

Even if it scrapes your innards from within.

And you seek release.

You'd rather be with anybody rather than alone.

Or would you? I think not.

For the one who has no one, she has God.

He has proven it to her.
She forgets, but He remembers.

She may fall, but always remember the safety net is SECURE.

He is conspiring in your favour, not against you.
Whether you know it or not, even when the surface
illusions are harsh enough to kick you in the head.

Flicker back,
oh youth of mine...
there are redeeming qualities in you yet.

You were you when in the woods,
when receiving hugs from children
at the school,
when saying Merry Christmas to the
lollipop man,
when renting The Snowman and
listening to that mesmerising song.

All of this, may not be
the coolest of recollections from the past,
they are pretty embarrassing -
but they were everything you did
that helped you survive it.

You're here, aren't you?


Do not deny that the flicker augments...


Do not deny that He has given you friends
And some of them live so close
you could only wonder at the benevolence.

People drift in and out of my life.
There are more outgoing than incoming, actually.
As with most areas of my life!

Just be careful that you don't drift 
out of your own life.... 
by disconnecting so much, 
for whichever reasons you create for yourself.


This is NOW. Create anew. 
You cannot be deprived
of something that is an inherent need.


Does it feel light or heavy, this aloneness?

Why are you playing a part that you feel is the best version of you
rather than the authentic you? 

Which feels more comfortable, lighter?

Ripples,
re-runs of old episodes,
a feeling that you've wasted time,
and nothing to show for it.


Not true.


You're spiralling up, and the bottom is different
from the one you were at last year.


Trust and know that all is well.


See the Divine in everything.


Make efforts to get to where you want to go.


Connect.


End of story.

Streams of Consciousness

Streams of consciousness

by Sukaina Juma
20 November  2011

***

Streams of consciousness
to focus the thoughts

Oh, but I'm better off
not having any thoughts

Oh, there's another one!
It's the same thought I had last year
Again?
Yes, again

Streams of tears that fall down
the delicate cheeks of
each of my friends
at different times, alternate realities
and situations

Do I love those less who do not
or can not show me
their tears?

Leaking again, I am
and does it matter?
How is it I can allow others to be
and not myself?
Another day ends
and the tears are dammed
The flow is stopped

The trust dissipates
Yet I know there is no trust
except Thine!


Streams of beautiful golden and pink
and emerald green fountains
wash away my Self
wash away all selves
from my sacred space that is

And yet
they all rush back
to show me to myself in another dark, shadowy form
I wish not to face

And face it I must

I travel, oh how I travel long distances
to belong to that which I thought I belonged to...

And I see a prism,
characters and personalities,
using language and communicating nothing
from the heart.

And, so, I look like them
And I almost sound like them
And they look at me and know that
I do not belong
As I know all too well.

So what happens then?

where do the lost souls gather?
where do the lost souls find solace?
when their only soul connection
is with the Divine
and that is a myth, that is Real and True
yet intangible.

One cannot belong to God.
Can I belong to Him?
Certainly not to the God
they still
ordain
as my Lord.

And the all-encompassing Creator
I want to believe exists
Is a stranger, or is too loving for me to accept!


Fascinating!

I want unconditional acceptance
and love from my equals
of denser flesh.

And when I am shown that
He that is All
is the only one who would
ever carry the capacity to do so...

I balk.
I defend.
I reject.

Surely God cannot love me all the time,
in all states and all conditions!

Such a God cannot exist,
such a God,
any God
cannot exist!

But my fellow creatures,
with the same talents and limitations as myself
surely can
give me that which I seek...

And when they decry otherwise,
I ask again from he
who has nothing in his cup
to give me

C'est absolument fascinant!

And I, the humble healer,
Am I still the vessel when my cup is empty?
Am I still the channel
when the slightest thing can
lift me out of my body and make for unreal experiences?

Am I still lovable
when everyone rejects me
for who I am or what I do
or just because they can?

Ahhhh!

They do it because they can!

And anything other than
forgiveness and acceptance and love
is repeating the cycle
and enduring the suffering.

Have I woken myself up
only to go back to sleep?

Because awareness is futile,
uncommon,
turns me into smoke without direction,
a heart without healing,
an actor without a Soul,
a being without Beingness.

Shall I ever make sense?
Do I want to make sense?

Or do I secretly enjoy
speaking deep truths in
all contexts, in order
to watch them watch me
as though I
do not understand
and am not understood?

Flow, ebb.
Ebbing away...

This life is ebbing away...
My time is still precious,
even if my life no longer is.


My heart still seeks to speak out, to be heard
even if my voice decides to hide
because it is unsafe to be spoken.
Yet.

I don't know
what the message is,
anyway.

So why would I say anything if I didn't know?
We have enough of those well-meaning
speakers out there...

There is enough mayhem!

Compassion over judgement.

I shall not judge this litany
that probably cannot
be considered a great work.

At least I feel open now.

Unburdened.

Chuck, chuck, chuck it all out...

If we are all connected on a intensely deep
level
and on a infinitely high
level,
why do I disconnect
or encourage others to do so?

How is it there is either no one here?
Or that they are here,
and I choose to disappear?

Ca ne fait pas du sense!

When is one ready to let go?
Let go of the ideas that
we are helpless and small

and embrace that everything is perfect?

All came down out of choice.
All remain out of choice.

Breathe, breathe,
for crying out loud,
please breathe...
my little one.

It all goes back to the breath.

Someone told me, a dear person,
that it will get better tomorrow:
it always does.

I hope your tomorrow has come,
because I still await mine.

Balance.

Balancing the emotional upheavals.

And the rejection with acceptance,
And the self-sabotage with compassion,
And the arrogance with the realisation that
a person can be connected to the source
and still mock a people for believing in
healing.

And all of this is just to show

This is all stuff and substance...

I am connected to Thee at all times
Even when their words and their beliefs
unground me.

When I feel invaded.

Thou art always there.

And on the occasions when I
disbelieve
That means I am one step closer
to believing.

I may actually suffer the worst
and end my last breath by not believing.

And yet, Thou Knowest that Thou Existeth
and that everything is unfurling perfectly.

And funnily enough,
that is all it is.

It is all that is needed

Thou Knowest that Thou Existeth

Bring me back towards that which
eludes me.

Or to that which I defer.

The spirit is willing, oh so willing.
But the flesh is weak.

I defer to Thee
My Lord, my Life, my Light.

I end in silence
gratitude for these senseless words
that override the senseless
violence
ravaging my soul
yet again.
