Blog # 5 Hi Folks, First up it’s
a big thank you to those that braved the cold rainy winter night to bring their
energy, hearts, truth and vulnerability.
Please remember, that this is your space and that I am open to any
suggestions on how your time at our Chat could be improved. Our evening
was packed with sprinklings of wisdom from all.
While our topic was, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” we
touched on many other topics as we always do.
What is good
and what is bad? Is a question I had on
my mind when I first thought of the topic.
So many people say after a crisis
or atrocity in their lives that it was the best thing that could ever have
happened. I understand that this is not
always the outcome, and yet I definitely believe that there is always a gift
that comes with the so-called, “bad”.
For example in my case, the chronic asthma I have had since childhood is
what has taken me on my journey of spirituality and for that I am grateful. There are experiences from my childhood that
I would say, while having been exceptionally painful have also enriched my
knowing and helped prepare me for being able to be of service to others. In some cases
people experience the book they are going to write, living the truth of their
words. This too becomes a gift to
mankind by opening a door of understanding that would otherwise not exist. This also gives others that go through a similar
experience the knowing that they are not alone in their reality and that
someone else has travelled in very similar shoes. Perhaps you
would say that having an autistic son might not be regarded as a good
thing. Not so at all, to those brave
enough to seek and find the incredible gift in that very experience. So far, the
answer seems to be.... bad things do not happen..... all that happens is good, if you are prepared
to find the gift. We spoke of
suicide, now there’s a brave and interesting topic. When you have experienced it with a family
member or when it is a place that you have considered going to, it is no longer
a concept it becomes an experience. Maybe we enrich
global consciousness when we work through tough times and experiences. Perhaps by finding the gifts in those
experiences we assist others by having done some hard work on their
behalf? Does that make sense? We are all connected aren’t we? Being in the
flow or in the groove, are interesting concepts when we use them to describe
our lives. “The path of least resistance,”
is how one of you put it. I love those
words. Then a caring friend comes along
and helps you see that you are in your, “sweet spo”t. I suppose we could also say, let go and let
God or surrender. I can feel topics for
another chat emerging here. Authority ....
a subject introduced by a gentle lady in our chat. How do we work with “authority”? And is this an old programme, one from our
school days or our childhood, in which someone with authority enforced their
power over us? It is important to
recognise old programming as we discover what being YOU really means. Am I churchgoer or not, do I believe in
saying grace at the table? Do I like
celebrating Christmas and what does it really mean to me? Under our
beliefs and programming that came from people with authority lies a true you to
be discovered. Keep discovering
yourself!!! Remember your beautiful
heart is beating FOR YOU, is it not worthwhile discovering the true you? Fixing those
we love.. mmmmm .... now there’s a box
of worms for some. Perhaps true love is
meeting someone exactly where they are and finding value in that. Rather than focusing on how we would like to
see their lives playing out. Sometimes I
think we can energetically take ownership of aspects that are then unable to be
healed in another, while we are holding them.
Remember, while we might be seeing a “bad thing”, it might very well be
... as discussed earlier ... a gift. We spoke of
giving to others. A beautiful soul in
our chat, reminded us of doing unto others that which we would like done unto
us. Bringing the matter home to how
grateful we would be if it was us receiving instead of giving. And then is appreciation important for the
giving we have done? Or would that be
considered to be manipulation? I enjoy
the connectivity that takes place when appreciation is demonstrated for my
giving. My heart opens when I give and I
like to feel met, this happens by the person receiving my gift with an open
heart of appreciation. And now we have a
connection. Well fellow
travellers, I have covered as much as I could.
Our chat was rich this week and I sincerely hope I have done it
justice. Thank you so
much for your honesty and your interest I am privileged. Thank you also
for the donations made. Our topic for
this week’s chat is: DREAMS Do you recall
your dreams? Why do we dream? Do they mean anything? Have you had any profound dreams, or
recurring dreams? |
