Can’t Help Falling in Love with You

I cried thru this song

remembering you,

with habit ready to shut down my hurting heart again.

instead , what came to me in this gazillionth

feeling of loss

pushed me to know what is true about love .

yes, you and family and friends

have come ,shared time with me, and gone

some naturally , some tragically ripped away

both leaving me feeling bereft

lost, alone.

and then there was this song , sung with such fullness of heart

that I knew that what really matters about love is to be able to experience the potentials of loving

to experience it at ever more refined levels.

it is not meant to fill the space that we must fill for ourselves

that is a temporary fix ,

a using of another’s supply when our own supply we already have

within us

our own love, from the source of love ,

is ever in flow, ever evolving

inclusive, impersonal,

unattached.

when the fires of love within our hearts stir

to light up from our own connection to its source ,

its essence seeps into the cracks of the stone cold

walls that now separate us from life

to heal the wounds of humanness

and lift us to breathe it in like pure air.

we emerge from the shedding skins of yesterday

transformed,

nurturing all life and wanting nothing more

than to b the vessel for this change .

What is Self Mastery ?

In a nutshell , self mastery is self control. Further defined, self mastery enables one to have say in how her/his life unfolds. It is a simple path yet it is not easy.

You becoming new can potentially be a daily happening as each insight, each realization is received…by you. Continuing practice strengthens your ability to choose how you respond in the moment to life’s ups and downs.

That singular moment of choice determines your future direction.

Beginning levels are about creating a strong foundation for your life long journey . There is more to us than most of us know through personal experience.

The movies and some seemingly harmless psychotrophic drugs may give glimpses of the more ” glamorous ” aspects of self discovery with disproportionate importance. Some weekend workshops promise you the hard earned diligence of lifetimes ,that of becoming a master, an avatar, for a fee and minor inconvenience to your schedule.

And still, quietly, the natural path of self discovery , travelled by the ancient wise ones, is alive and well. It requires our enthusiastic and ,undeterred desire to do and be better people. It requires commitment to discover our more expansive selves.

You will find no isms here as you enter into your true heart.

Let your heart be your guide. It will call out to you in ways you cannot ignore when you are ready to learn more. Pay attention.

Many paths lead to self mastery. I share glimpses of my study and practice of fifteen years thru classes and coaching.

Is it depression …?

u may not b depressed , u may just b carrying around old feelings

of yours or others there

you may not really have pain there

it may be u stuck feelings u didnt want to feel there

u may not be forever scattered

you mught just need to center yourself

going in circles ?

repeating non productive behaviors or treading water ?

its time for an energy shower

if u choose.

are u ready?

turn the pages herein

a path lies

before u,

i can show you

how.

HeartLinked

another birth has occurred

a newer version of me emerges .

this one able to hold

more light

this one aware of being

one speck

in the cosmos

yet part of

all there is.

this one

able to see

from above

the fray

and yet be in the fray

linking with all

hearts

shining

and enlightening

all that

desires the light

simply

by being itself ,

holding steady

anchoring light

allowing

love

to evolve

on the earth,

in the earth

all the while

becoming a

medium

for hearts to

spiral upwards

Me? Love”Them ” ?

Did I know the extent of the damage I had done to myself in judging the past? I carried it with me like truckloads of judged art that no one loved.

INflamed tissues, bleeding from within bursting with unforgiven tears, stopped healthy growth in its tracts.

Yes, i prevented me from prospering, from releasing that which needed to go

i was like a thing that had eaten away at itself.

thinking i was revealing the wrongs of others, them, i was also striking at me that i could not see

thank u other, i bow to you , i owe my ever greater vision of wholeness to

you

Thinking i was due what they had earned ate away at my sense of self. My gifts went cold waiting for my gratitude and attention.

i lost desire to nurture all of me.

yes, all the proper emotions are there to make me a fitting case for sympathy. yet sympathy is inadequate to heal a broken heart. it is too weak to penetrate into the depths of pain waiting to be healed

decisive , soft, fiercely true , is the love i must know

when i choose fear , fear is what i see in every turn. when i choose love, i see the love that has always been and always will be there, sitting with me guarding me, walking with me into the way ahead

it is simple to understand. it is not easy to know.

i shall keep on going.

loving more all the while.
