30 December

There are many moments in one’s life when realisations dawn which throw to the wind previous beliefs so held. And one begins to see just how much of one’s existence has been shaped externally. And it is somewhat bewildering to begin to understand that much of what one identified as self has, in fact, been nothing short of foreign, alien to that which truly marks one’s sense of self.

This natural tendency to peel away the layers and so reveal a central force more powerful than ever known comes to those who start their journey homeward bound, and the ensuing vulnerability is temporarily found to be a hindrance, but also a blessing, encouraging healing and inward reflections deep.

Question your attitudes and beliefs. Ask yourself whether they represent your innermost thoughts. Are they merely smokescreens to hide reality, handed down from generations past?

Never take for granted your opinions in this life. Make sure you know why you think and feel the way you do; you owe it to yourself to be true. And as you continue to peel away the remnants of the past, you will find a new sense of peace and empowerment, despite the pain of loss of that which held a protective mask to the world.

Reveal your innermost thoughts, and experience the joy of oneness and unity. Individually you are as one with all of life free. And someday soon you will begin to rebuild your vehicle once again, but this time with a clear veneer of mirror-like quality, one which will reflect another’s pain, and in turn help them to also begin the process of knowing their own Name.
