hello beautiful serena =)
thank you for this timely spirited message
this has been a very prominent synchronicity for me as of late
you see, i am currently enjoying and reading the book- the 4 agreements by miguel angel ruiz !
you can probably find it online if you'd like.
i choose too ! for positivity and freedom !
every word here is impeccable but i'd like to highlight something i found as new and lovely insight
what wisdom ! i will bold it here,
So too I chose to take personal and positive
actions in the face of planetary negativity. Rather than wallow in hopelessness, I enact the viability of
hope. I reach out to others with kindness and humor. I allow others to reach toward me bearing their
gifts of love and healing.
it is thanks to that book i have accepted the war currently going on in my mind and embraced the warriors spirit !
i actually wanted to come here and post something- discuss and write thoughts out for better understanding, i wasn't sure how to go about it but your post and personal synchronicity with your post has encouraged me to share regardless.
currently one of the lessons i am trying to better understand is the difference between repressing and refraining. the victim represses while the warrior refrains. it's all there in his book. the book mentions, inside us all- is a judge and a victim. what i'd like to do, is take ruiz' idea and change the judge and victim into the warrior ! or, the teacher and student
hmm !
there's a need for balance and transformation even
it's going to be hard to share this without directly relating to my own problems but for my own comfort i want to try and make this as general as possible. i will try but please feel free to include your thoughts and forgive me of my ignorance. this is a joyous learning opportunity =)
the thing i wanted to talk about was this...
trying. try try and try again.
always trying. trying to maintain this positivity and this potential to grow. continually trying to improve the quality of ones life- the rejuvenation of the cells and mind- treating yourself with love and finding love wherever one may go. living in a state commonly referred to as heaven.
well, it is a difficult task, it would seem- at times. there are moments too. moments where, even in having this awareness- we still allow ourselves to retreat back into a negative behavior. it can be discouraging when you believe you know better. although i believe now, we must have only a small understanding to have still surrendered to these acts. the pattern is so strong we will even combat the hearts desire to live in heaven and drown our senses just for a momentary release. it's the patterns. i am beginning to see how strong this conditioning is. the conditioning of beliefs we've accepted at a young age molded through the society and world around us. it is not always a healthy structure, but none the less- in our innocence we've accepted things in the name of love that may promote suffering.
now with this maturing mind and even slight awareness it is up to each of us to continually try and replace the patterns once thought of as gratifying with a wholesome quality that has been experienced through the wisdom and teachings that nature provides.
to continually try your best. and as the book states, your best will not always be the same. one moment it will be less than the other. it all depends on the current state of our body. of our hearts and minds. if we are ill, our best will not be as energized as when we are healthy and feeling ready to take on the world. but as long as you try, you can replace the patterns no longer suitable for your being with seeds of love and light- with white magic to flourish within your minds garden and revitalize your energy centres. surely with practice we can break the patterns and conditioning that we've been living in for so long. it takes patience and understanding because a metamorphosis takes time. and even then, the idea you have, of what the free you looks like- will surely change as you grow. allowing things once thought intolerable and discontinuing things once thought worthy of praise. there will be a blend of old with new and maybe in the end we will be transformed- living free, and nothing will have changed except the seeing of the world with eyes of love. the perfection of life in every crevice. grateful for all that is. free.
it takes a challenging of ones own beliefs to see what is of your own agreement and what has been imposed onto you. do not be discouraged when you believe you know better and fall down. this is going to happen, time and time again. continue to try, take a little understanding from the experience- see it with eyes of love. and try again. balance and moderation.
you can refrain from doing something, and express it later- as there is a time and place for everything.
hmm
well serena your words here today couldn't have said it any better

blessings to you ! and love and light =)
