Our Souls Pathway To the Heart
Innocence and peace are states of mind at the very beginning and
towards the very end . Everything in between , the mid-cycle , of our lives are what
create all the differences , through multiple emotional interaction .
The dual mind , positive / negative , and how it effects our behaviors ,
which ultimately becomes who we project and how we eventually percieve
ourselves , or decieve ourselves and others , by not knowing honestly who we
truly are internally , our soul being , a spark of light which is that spark of love
within' . Our physical being is a shadow of our spiritual self , our shadow
becomes an expression , an accumulation of emotions learned through
experience . From the moment of our birth into the physical world , our life
experiences begin as pebbles . Through the course of time and space , our
experiences , our spiritual growth , become larger stones , boulders , or better
put , " weights of burden " . Once we begin to understand and recognize , at that
moment of facing our heaviest obstacle , at that moment , we have to take an
honest look internally and summon the strength and courage to properly remove
it . Once we can unlearn to relearn , those boulders , obstacles , begin to get
smaller , until they again appear as pebbles . A story in retrospect .
Imagine yourself as a fish in the river . One day the river floods
over it's embankment , and you the fish , instead of staying in the river , you get
caught in the wave of the flood into a pool outside the rivers edge . As the flood
waters recede to normal , you now become stuck outside the natural flow of your
existence , in an outer pool . In time as the water evaporates into the air from the
heat of the sun , you begin to lose sense of your life force , the essence of your
being , until the moment comes when you begin to die and as the ground around
you begins to dry and crack , so do you , being reduced to dust to be blown in the
wind .
If the fish hadn't lost his way and had faced the challenge of the
flood , and stayed true to itself and stayed the course of his natural existence , he
may have avoided such a tragic fate . Like the fish , that monstrous boulder is our
challenge to remove and stay on our pathway , our soul journey . The moment we
look for the easy way around and head in a different direction , we could possibly
be setting ourselves up with the same fate of the fish .
