When I had a
seizure and collapsed to the floor in 2007, I left my body. After the fear of
dying subsided, I experienced a beauty and peace that was vital, interconnected,
empowering, peaceful and loving. It took me a long time to get my head around
what I had experienced; several years in fact. Eventually I came to the
realisation that this was the experience of my Soul. This recognition remains
with me today, and underlies my sacred and holistic perception of life.
I am writing these
words to share with you, to share the Truth that each one of us has access to a
profound, subtle, emerging universal intelligence. Shockingly we don’t really
know it’s there until we sense, feel and understand it. However, it’s true to
say that who you really are is an amazing and wonderful luminous being offering
you a life of infinite possibilities.
You were born
into this world with unique gifts and qualities, but each one of us has a
Divine Birthright. It is your Divine Birthright;
·
To realise you are an empowered, creative being
who has an integral relationship with all forms of Life. You are part of a
greater whole.
·
To shine. Share your
purpose, your gifts, talents and passions, for in doing so you will inspire others and shine a light into the world.
· It's really OK to be prosperous and abundant. The Universe is a
place of abundance. The Sun does not switch its rays on and off, it simply
shines life into the world.
·
To live in your Joy. Peace is found when the
personality converges with the Soul.
·
To live in the self-knowledge of your own
Divinity. We are all sons and daughters of the Divine. No more, no less.
·
To be, feel and act on the Love that is in your
Heart without neglecting the gifts of the head.
·
To be FREE. Only self-knowledge allows you the
freedom you seek.
All of the above
are not gifts for a special few, but are Divine gifts given to all humankind.
But do you know (feel and sense) these treasures of life to be true to you? You
were born into this world as a Soul which knows all of these birthrights, so
all you need do is to get to know and BE your Soul. To get to know your Soul,
the head (brain-mind identity) would have you think that you need to constantly
work on your apparent weaknesses and failures. This may lead to permanently
identifying with our suffering, our stories, our losses, and the conditioning
all humans have to varying degrees. But the 'new' way of the mind (the Holistic
Mind) teaches us otherwise. The Soul knows that the way to deal
with unresolved emotional patterns and conditions is from the Love within. The
deeper you become aware of the living presence of your Soul, the more Love you
will feel and sense. The more Love you feel and sense, the more naturally and
efficiently you will heal, and the quicker you will let go of what was in the
way of your Divine birthright. So the Soul teaches us not to dwell on our
apparent misfortune, but to bathe in the love and joy within. That is the way
to evolve, and the only way our race will survive. The way to resolve fear is
not by facing the fear when we are fearful, but to Love ourselves. If we love
ourselves, the fears, worries and regrets we hold on to, will naturally arise,
but will also dissolve. Similarly, the way to resolve any problem is to find
the SOUL-ution. Your Soul speaks from love and openness, from intuition and
compassion, and so has the natural remedy to any problem. As Einstein pointed
out to us … “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used
when we created them.” And the Soul takes it further than that. To survive and
evolve, we need to learn to resolve from Love. Any SOUL-ution is from Love
because it honours the whole truth and needs of any given situation.
In fact I can go
as far as to say that everything is resolved by Love. Of course we need to use
the rational mind as a tool too, but a natural combination of heart and head is
the real art of Soulness. To evolve (and we must) we need to learn to listen,
feel and sense from the heart before taking appropriate action with the head.
This is what I call Doing from Being and is the effortless action of the Soul.
So how can we get
to listen, feel and sense from the heart? Well, first we need to learn how to
deal with the residual content we each have. This residual content is present
in our heads in the form of emotions, beliefs, addictions, patterns and
conditions. For example, the fact that you were accidentally scared by a large
man in a suit with a moustache when you were six years old doesn’t simply
dissolve. That information received from the senses (large man, suit, and
moustache) stays in your memory and becomes a way of identifying with ‘scared’.
You will identify with that residual content as real when it is not. So we each need to learn to see through our residual
content and converge with the loving flow of life.
Love and Peace are ours. Let's reclaim them now.
