Over the last five months I have been living with an old friend. Perhaps you know him too? He has gone by many names over the years- Melancholy is my favourite. After all the spiritual growth I'd experienced, I was more than a little angry to see my old friend move in again and decide to stay!
In my confusion and frustration, I asked my Higher Self to explain the reason for the discrepancy between my spiritual wholeness and my dark emotional state. I'd like to share with you what I got back.
"Beloved, if these emotions were not anchoring you to this reality you indeed might slip into the next. For you, the work of this time is to activate the alchemy of the soul and transmute one emotional state into another. It is not happenstance that you are with out some of your much loved support during this time of darkness. You have placed yourself here and Divine purpose is being wrought deep within you, just as it is in the Earth itself.
Birthing a New Earth is not without some pain, but know that you need never suffer. Patience. Things are becoming clear. Be so ever gentle and understanding with yourself and others. For in the darkness of duality your work is to bring human stories to the light. Be like a dog who dives for stones in the water. One at a time, bring each story to the shore of your consciousness and then take a break to shake the sparkling water drops of Unity and Love into your world. How refreshing!
It is in this way, Beloved, we are building a new beach, bathed in golden sun and the sound of rejoicing!"
I'm very familiar with that state :-) All too familiar, actually.
ReplyDeleteDon't you find that the moments of bliss, and there are those too, even if only fleeting, are the more richer... more vibrant?
Yes, the darkness so beautifully defines the light.
ReplyDeleteWhen we move into unity consciousness the memory of duality might be important to fully appreciate the state of oneness.
I wonder what it will be like to be in that place? We've become so familiar with the garden of polarity.
