EVOLUTION

Motorists are driving down the highway, trains are rolling down the tracks, planes are flying overhead and here I sit – peaceful and content to be alone in this room. My thoughts and my mind are slowly acclimating to this state of being and to the call of Spirit.

Sometimes my life becomes so busy and complicated. Perhaps it is my way of ignoring the simplicity of my Truth. If I am an integral part of the One, then I must remember to listen to that guiding Voice which supplies all that is needed for me to live what is true.

My greatest joy is coming into my Self and being that which I am. Sadly, I do not always take the time to live that recognition. Instead, I lapse into old programming and internalize the belief that I am less than.

Change beckons, yet I often resist. I accept the conclusion that this illusion that I see around me is real. I am confined to littleness and stay seeded in its hold. And yet, there are times that I succeed. A breakthrough happens and I catch a glimpse of the Truth – an awesome moment confirming that, as an innocent child of the Divine, I do have a purpose. In that loving world of Spirit I am in my dharma and all is well.

Isn’t this the lesson? The enemy doesn’t exist except in my imagination. When the fullness of life beckons, I must answer the call. Can I refuse the opportunity offered over and over again? Who am I to say no? Who am I to refuse to see what clearly appears on the landscape of my heart.

The Treasure is not hidden. It appears lovingly in my heart over and over again. It is relentless in Its passion, and It is never completely stilled. It is ever growing, ever expanding, and thoroughly committed to Its way. It has no fear and no doubt, for It is ever present in the Light of the thousand suns.

How can I become that? Ahh…but something in me already is. It is the Blessing, the Wisdom, and the Life that evolves as I permit. It’s time for me to allow that evolution to continue and to manifest Itself as the teacher who remains ever the student of the One


Written with Love,

One must always be faithful to the internal call, the voice that guides and directs. It is a soft voice, one that can soothe and transform. It is a loving voice, one that will touch the heart. It is a life voice, one that will awaken you to the Universal Force. It is a kind voice, a gentle voice. In this voice lies the truth of your being. It is your salvation and it is your strength. It lifts you and it loves you. It will never betray you. And this is Truth.

A NEW PATH

Awakened by the sound of life outside my window, I arise in anticipation of a new day, a new start. Yet somewhere between that awakened moment and breakfast, I find myself choosing to walk that old weather-beaten path.
My heart speaks loudly; the choice is yours. Do you want to walk a path of the living dead, or do you want to die into newness?Perhaps you could abandon the fear that holds you captive in the misery of old programming. Maybe you will listen closely to the song playing softly in your heart…the one that calls you to abandon the fear and walk that new road; the road of freedom from the false beliefs you lay carefully on the table so as not to forget that that you were taught to play it safe.

Will you open yourself to a path blossoming with new growth, decorated with garlands of flowers, and cool bubbling springs to appease your thirst for life giving elements of the earth? Can you? Will you choose a life path beyond your imagination and fall gently into the creative flow of the One?

What will it take for me to make that choice to walk a new path that I cannot yet see? Do I have the courage to release the old ways that feel safe, yet unfulfilling? It does take courage, but it also takes trust. I know that trust is the cornerstone of stepping into something new, something that I can’t yet see.

My mind tries to take the spotlight and lead me away from the calling of my heart. I wrestle with the uneasiness. The tension builds. The New Year is here. Then, I remember. What the Universe is calling me to is much more important than what I want. I take a deep breath and surrender once again to Its calling.

Every year is a new year, every day is a new day, and every moment is an opportunity to step into the flow, embrace my mission and walk a new path. I wonder what the world would become if everyone was willing to accept the calling. I can only imagine.

With Love,
Barbara


“The natural flow of life is not meant to be feared,
but to be lived with joy and wonder. Believing in yourself as a holy child of God and living within the natural flow of creation lifts you to a higher state of mind. Your trust gives birth to peaceful moments and as you learn your place in the flow you become a testament to the Greater Mind of God. This is what man must learn. It is the way of Nature. Yes, my child, it is the way to peace.”
