Snakes

As I ran through the National Park yesterday- in a state of bliss, wonder, joy and gratitude, I was startled momentarily by the sight of a dark snake. He was skinny and innocent looking enough, however I was not game to hang around to find out, so I did the little “eewww” jig of startled surprise and on I continued without pause.

I found myself then pondering how interesting it was that although deep down I KNEW there were snakes in the National Park, I was still surprised and momentarily rattled, by its presence.

I came to thinking how snakes being obviously present in the National Park is a lot like the dark, scary, “evil” forces that reside within us and in life.

I was intrigued by the notion that if I let my knowledge of the presence of snakes hinder my desire to explore the National Park so often, that I would have missed, and continue to miss, the absolute beauty of the space and the absolute JOY, PEACE and CONNECTEDNESS I experience being there!

Upon reaching the summit of the Park, I was immediately and joyously greeted by the sight of 2 huge pods of dolphins. Wow. The paradox of the two sights in such a small space of time.

As I ran back I was immersed in a world of reflection about how our knowledge of “bad” things within ourselves, others and the world, can keep us from experiencing the TRUTH, the BEAUTY, the wonderfully BALANCED state of nature and the universe.

In the WHOLE there is nothing to fear, nothing to be afraid of at all. Just parts of a WHOLE that all serve a purpose.

Whilst studied, defined and separated from the whole, a snake might seem terrifying and threatening, yet, when considered and viewed in relation to the whole, it is so tiny, harmless and in fact essential. It is something that you encounter on occasion and something that has its functional place.

How true of the dark side of human’s and life.

I really took home that if I allow such notions of fear and terror to rule and dictate where I do and do not go in life, and my own self-discovery journey, that I really do rip myself off and keep myself in an illusion where the bad is so disproportionately given power.

A snake is a tiny, and essential part of the whole.

And the whole is breathtakingly beautiful, wonderful, amazing, GIVING and LOVING.

Keep things in perspective, know the truth and never stop exploring the endless wonder and beauty of life and yourself.

I love you, all of you.

I love me, all of me.

I love life, all of life.

I am dedicated to this incredible journey. I hope you are too! :)

Mwah! xoxoxo

You are a divine being

You were born as pure creative spirit and that you are. This is your truth. The innocence, love, wonder, non-discrimination, curiosity and joy you embodied when you entered this earth plane is your natural state.

As a pure innocent being you were open to conditioning and you developed beliefs and definitions about the world which served to protect you, however, you will see that now they limit your true expression of yourself.

You have mostly forgotten the truth of who you are and your busy-ness is a strategy to keep yourself from your most divine self.

Its like the hero’s journey where the baby heir to the throne is seen as vulnerable and at risk of annihilation by an evil, potential substitute to the throne. Your identity forms to keep you “Safe”. You forget the truth of who you are and so live in confusion, fear, poverty and struggle.

Until one day a wise man reveals to you your truth. That you are great. That you have a purpose. That you are here to serve and lead others to greatness also.

Once you hear the truth you cannot ignore it. It is so compelling you commence your journey home, to your truth, to your treasure.

It’s not easy, there are “baddies” to battle and evil forces to counter. You have all that you need however and all it takes is for you to step into your courageous self. Your resourceful self. The part of you that see’s no barrier impossible and is willing to die to claim your truth.

Then you come to the biggest, baddest dragon of them all. You discover that this dragon really is not so bad after all and really is quite scared, weak and lonely. You pacify him. You form a “functional relationship with him”.

Your reclaim your treasure.

You are home and you are able to live your purpose and serve others :)

Welcome home hero :)

Mwah!
