Is it true and do you believe that there are many paths to enlightenment?

What are your thoughts?

Here are mine.

I’d really love to share this view on learning through the human experience.

Are there many paths to enlightenment? Are we all actually humans with souls encoded with our own unique signature (a blueprint) and have we come here with soul contracts to live out, to evolve, to learn and to literally assist each other within this race of humanity, within the evolution of the earth, to raise the vibration, to reconnect with our light body?

For me, this is in my current state, a full body YES!!!!

I do and have experienced this so far to be my truth. It may not be the whole truth because along the scale of what has been deemed the average age of humans, I am not quite at the pointy end of the scale. Not yet anyway but I have lived and experienced a lot. I do not preach to know it all either.

Are we not here to connect with our own inner truth?

Now, this can be philosophised until the cows come home but we each bring through our own unique gifts to create here on the planet, for the greater good of all.

For some that might look like meditating on a mountain, meditating in a cave, uninterrupted for days/months/years and simply sustaining life through pranic energy. It could be through meditating for a decade or two, living in an ashram, meditating in a temple in Nepal, living as a monk, or living as a priest. It could look so vastly different.

For many other people, it could look very different because we all come from vastly different walks of life, depending on where we find ourselves geographically on the planet, with what resources we have available to us.

It could be that in one lifetime, a person could have many of the experiences above alongside growing up in a low socio-economic environment, scraping by, day to day to survive and or living on the streets.

What I have come to understand and have learned is that when we look at nature, nature provides. It has the answers we seek. I understand that I am not separate from nature. That everything is unified and that it is the separation that comes with the “I” that actually severs what it is to be a conduit for anchoring the light here on the planet.

Many of the humans on Earth have come here to do good, we have come here to create change (even if we don’t do good, it is fulfilling the soul contracts, so the human can experience). What we do with those experiences determines the outcome.

In every situation, we have an opportunity to wear the ‘Warriors Shield’ and fulfil our destiny. To stand up for our beliefs and what we deem as being Truth. The truth of Source, Creator, God, Universal, Divine Spirit, Great Spirit (what have you). Can we all agree, that there is a consciousness that is larger than the Egocentric ‘I’?

It is my sovereign right to believe that it is my purpose to be here, to utilise the Love Vibration to best of my ability.

My part in the learning, being, doing, acting, and ‘how to do good’.

There is no war that has ever been won when fought with negative forces. Love prevails each and every time.

This is what I stand for. I choose to use the light as it leads to victory in every matter. It creates a win/win dynamic. Peace, harmony, and love creates resolution. It is in this gentle power, that which is true power. Of course, do not allow yourself to be mowed down by another. Wield your Light Shield. Know when to walk away, listen or talk. Screaming and yelling serves its purpose, yes? It moves BIG energy although can it better be utilised to serve with this energy? So that it can move through the body’s system and energy field in a way that is conducive. Definitely feel it, as the only way through, is to feel it. To project it creates an outcome of extreme destruction and suffering. We have done this for far too long. It is NOW that I feel we are called to bring our hearts into the picture, to guide us through, passionately, yes, absolutely. Use that anger to fuel your passion, your drive to get shit done, to create a different outcome.

I do not share this either to negate the effects of traumas or situations that are completely out of our control. I too have had my fair share of what this is.

How is it serving to compare?

Would love want us to continually perpetuate the same ole stories and patterns our ancestors made and that which has and is being perpetuated? All I am saying is, that which is of the heart and not of aggression, can make a significant difference in all manner of situations as to how and what the outcome looks like. By all means, stand up in truth, believe in yourself and express the truth that comes from within. This is what it means to be in integrity, create balance and be aligned. Tell the truth about everything, even when it feels extremely challenging to do and you don’t want to.

Meet yourself with compassion, acceptance, gentleness and kindness. Know that there are others who have walked this path before you. You are not alone although you may feel as if it is so at this very moment.

Do not be in fear of aggression. Meet it with the truth that is within you, unwavering in strength and honour to what feels in alignment and in integrity. Even if that means admitting where and how an imbalance or discord is showing up. It all is energy and requires motion to move it on through. Otherwise, it becomes stagnant and festers. Be present with what it is as well.

There are many in humanity who have not had parents, grandparents, mentors, guides or people to be wayshowers in the name of Universal Laws. On how to teach us, or connect us with our ancestral roots and lore of the land, to communicate without words, living in attunement with spirit. The results created by living in this way are disembodiment, disharmony and disconnect from our nature.

There are those who have walked these paths before us, who have left a rainbow path of profound wisdom, for us to be guided by, for us to learn from, in the form of rites of passage and sacredness of life. This is available to us and for us.

It is actually very obvious how disconnected we are as a race of humanity in connection with the ALL.  To our true nature, to what is the nature of who we truly are. There is so much disconnection to being at one with nature. To being and finding solace within. A place where being in isolation does not mean being alone (intellectually….yes, yes we are, but everything is connected when we take an embodied approach and be okay with isolation, being alone, in nature). It is relative. How are we relating to ourselves, how are we relating and cocreating with nature?

At the core of this, it comes down to what we know.

What we have experienced and what we have the ability to trust and know to be true.

How well we are willing to get to know and love ourselves.

When was the last time you took the time to go inward?

With practice, we can and have the ability to strengthen our intuitive gifts and enhance our natural senses.

This is essentially what it is to ‘retreat’, to be in solitude and sanctuary.

At which point do we sacrifice ‘the importance of time’ to create this opportunity to reconnect with ourselves, to reconnect with nature?

A daily practice of devotional love is so important. In essence, it is to give honour to the temple. The temple that houses our soul. To sit at the altar of life.

It is to go within. It takes so, so much love, devotion, commitment and discipline. It is without distraction or attachment to anything that is outside of ourselves. It is here that we can and have the opportunity to meet our real shadows, and bring them to the light of love and transmute that which is only in resonance and coherence with the heart.

Yeah sure……there are so many different ways that we can “meditate”.

The elements of nature are our medicine. To be in harmony, resonance and stillness with each element can be so soothing for our natural being.

To float, unbounded in a large body of live water…..” Ahhhh”, heavenly and oh so peaceful.

To sit, watching the flame of a candle or fire burning logs in a fireplace…..there is so much wisdom in simply being the student of life and with nature and the elements.

Using the breath, to open and expand, expel and contract continually is cleansing and regenerative for our whole being.

To lay belly down on the Earth, feeling the heart pulsing against hers.

We can go to places that are called retreats and go and involve ourselves in activities such as yoga, rest, sound healing and self-care practices etc

Retreat can also be looked at as being a distraction or a way to escape from the core of truth. It is all part and parcel of living life, of creating opportunity to experience and learn.

When it comes to evolving as a human, in essence, it is a need to actually have experiences in life so that we can fully understand from an experential point. To bring the whole together, there are so many facets. So so many facets, what is deemed, the good, the bad, the ugly, the shadow.

I could speak a lot into shadow work but this is not the moment as there is so much there. There are so many on this planet that are just not willing to go into these depths so it is up to those who are willing to do so. To be the light of love. To shine and to rain love and joy upon the world.

To continually remember that this is why we are here.

Each has come here to live in their way in accordance with how they function and choose to engage and interact, or co-create with life.

When patterns continually occur and show up, the energy is may be seen to be stuck in a loop. There is no outlet for the cause and effect to change its frequency when we are so stuck in a cycle of perpetuation. It will simply be and continue in this cycle until there is a catalyst to change. It can implode, destruct, or explode as the energy builds upon itself, reinforcing and amplifying in its field of orbit.

There are so many facets to the darkness, and these are also parts of ourselves that we need to meet, merge and work with. This is to be aware. If you know and have the information, you can work with it because it’s recognisable.

When we are in complete denial, shit will continually perpetuate and evolve into more of the same or amplify until we change the focus and vibration of the energy in motion. Emotion is energy in motion.

It’s friggen uncomfortable to be, let alone be seen in our darkness, in the vulnerability and admission of these lower vibrational states of being, in our humanness we are here to experience. In all of life’s messy and wonderous ways.

It is up to each individual to be willing to go into these depths of darkness within ourselves to unveil what is there for us. That whatever is presented in this very moment is an opportunity for us to grow from any extent of what is happening.

With a willingness to bring light to that darkness within so that we can actually transmute the dark energy and bring more light to it. Bring it into harmony. To come to a point of homeostasis and balance, equilibrium, alignment, and peace and it’s about celebrating those parts of ourselves because we make it through by being willing and permitting ourselves to feel it all.

Our long game is to learn that in our cocreation with the Universe, here on Earth in our human form, that our actions are not aimed to be intentionally hurtful to ourselves or others. Bear in mind, that thought, feeling, and action effects the whole. In the ultimate wholesome self, we ALL stumble and fall. At times, we fall deep into the abyss. That place is hellish. It is up to us, all of us, to continue coming back to the heart. We have come here to bring love, even the creatures that walk, crawl, swim, and fly upon this Earth are loving beings. We can listen to the still, tall standing trees for they too hold the resonance of love, are relative and in commune and co-creation with nature. They help us breathe FFS. Our thoughts, emotions and attitudes emit energetic fields, creating field environments that affect our perspective, relationships and others’ environments.

When fear is present, in whatever frequency that looks like, if it’s of fear energy, it will be something like this:

l Anger

l Desire

l Fear

l Grief

l Apathy

l Guilt

l Shame

Whether that be anger, allow yourself to feel it and meet yourself in love. Have some compassion for yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Use that energy conducively. Acknowledge it, speak into it, to truly see what it is within you, that is grating on you and creating the reaction. Why is it stimulating this reaction in you and what is the root cause? What is the undercurrent that is calling your attention?

It is happening not to you but for you because there is an opportunity to learn from it. It is presented so it can reveal what is at the root cause. It calls to have the light illuminated upon it so that on a soul evolutionary level you can transmute this lower vibration and bring it up to the light to be in a state of love. To learn now to know and do differently next time.

Why would we want to live in a world of suffering when we can focus our energy in another direction and choose differently for ourselves?

That’s not to say that we don’t actually have those experiences and fluctuate through these emotions because that is to deny having the human experience. It’s also about having the awareness to face these dark parts of ourselves so as to not separate ourselves from others. Such that we feel like we’re completely alone. We’re never alone. We are and can be physically alone but Spirit “The Source, Great Spirit, Our Guardians, our ancestors, Our Guides, Universal Energy” is always with us.

When we go in, oh my gosh. There’s a plethora of streams of energy for us to tap into streams of wisdom. To go into that stillness into that quiet when you’re feeling alone. Focus on the expansion of the inner realm and seek that which is bigger than the eye.

There’s so much that we can’t see with our naked eye, and just because we cannot see with our physical eyes, or sense with our physical senses doesn’t mean it is not present. It simply means it is not yet of our experience and that is okay. It doesn’t mean we are not good enough. We are where we need to be and so long as we are striving to live in alignment with truth in the name of love, then we are all good.

Be kind human

You are loved, you are loveable and you can be as loving as you so choose. I choose love. I love you xo
