Lesson 5 “The goldmine is within you”

In 13th Century Afghanistan a fascinating poet by the name of Rumi, said something very powerful. “Every mortal will eventually taste death but only some of them will taste life”

This is so true because every single day the question we should be asking ourselves is “Are we living life?” Why are you looking to the world to provide for you when the goldmine is within you. It’s our inner bonding that matters. Words are pretext. It is the inner bonding of gifts, abilities, resonance from subconscious to consciousness, that draws some person to another, not words.

It’s time to grasp this life lesson with both hands. It’s time to get in touch with the voice within your heart and soul. How it speaks, the difference between it and the worldly voices we are forced to listen to each day, the wisdom that waits and the encouragement lying in wonder. We can do this by closing our eyes and listening to our surroundings, music, and to nature. We can also let go and do a dance in rhythm to what we hear, probably for extroverts only. Putting ourselves in this state of self-love, calmness and ease, will help us develop our goldmines.

So the next time your bored don’t be afraid to be alone, be silent, it’s an opportunity to listen to your inner voice, thoughts and emotions and to discover the goldmine within you. The world within us is vast and the roads to access it are multiple. When you fill your inner world you might just find yourself doing the whirling dervish dance, while raising your vibrations!

Lesson 4 Hurt is a blessing

We have all been hurt, we are a species that have been traumatized from the moment of our birth. Once born you do not leave this planet without a few bumps, bruises or limbs missing. This is the reality of our shared experiences. Through our free will, we have the opportunity to experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Our mission is to bring everything into a balance state while being grounded enough to fully function mentally, physically and spiritually.

Rumi states ” the wound is the place the light enters you. what hurts you blesses you. Darkness is your candle.”

What a profound statement that requires us to take a deep breath, a step backwards and an open heart to address. We have three choices, we can react to our pains, we can respond to our hurts or we can ignore and bury them within us, knowing it will jump forward in the future demanding us to deal with it again. I have done all three in my life and I’ve learned the hard way that responding and surrendering or letting it go is the better path for creating a better future.

Lesson 1 – LET GO OF JUDGMENT

BOOM, lets get right to the heart of all that hinders us.

According to Merriam Webster Dictionary, judgement is described as “a process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning or comparing; a formal utterance, a divine sentence or a proposition stating something believed or asserted”. I underlined discerning because I believe this is a skill one develops over time through our experiences, for our protection, and should be used as such. What RUMI is talking about is judging and deciding what you think others do or should do needs to stop. You don’t need others approval on how to live your life nor should you care about theirs. What others think of you is NOT your concern.

Rumi states: “Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there; when the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about”.

As an independent, free thinker growing up in a society that demands conformity, this is a hard lesson for me. As I began to be labelled as a rebel, feminist or dare I say conspiracy theorist, I saw a void of separation begin to develop within my family, friends and acquaintances. I however did not bow down and confine myself through others eyes. I began the process of “Shadow work” and looked for ways to still love and care for others while maintaining my own truth & authenticity. Letting go of judgement means finding those fields of green where we can meet others, as we each journey through this life. As we teeter on the future we all want to create, Rumi’s work, created 700 years ago is still relevant today. Now more than any time in history we need to create those precious spaces of compassion, love, tolerance and charity within each of our lives. Letting go of judgement requires us to do some shadow work, which means looking within and asking ourselves, “What is it within me that hinders me from letting go of judgement? and then releasing old discriminations, past negative experiences, feelings of lack of control, self esteem issues or imbedded systemic class beliefs. Whatever you find is yours to release. Then ask yourself, “Can I meet others in a grassy knoll and lie down my barriers to begin the process of opening our hearts to receive more love, joy and peace?

It’s time to shine your light

MY TRUE EXISTENCE

SOFTLY THROUGH THE COBWEBS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

I FEEL YOUR PRESENCE ENVELOPING ME GENTLY

LIKE A BABE IN ARMS

WARM, TENDER, COMFORTING

MY SENSE OF BEING BENDS TO MATCH YOU

MY TWIN FLAME

DESIRING ONLY YOUR TOUCH

MY HEART SEEKS SOLICE

AWAKENED MEMORIES COME TO SURFACE AS THE

BREEZE AND SUNLIGHT PURIFY MY THOUGHTS

LOVE IS MY TRUE EXISTENCE

DAILY I GREET MY GOAL OF KEEPING HIGH VIBRATIONS

AS I CHOOSE WHICH EXPERIENCE

YOU WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE

IT IS A CHALLENGING ROLE I PLAY

IN THIS DUALISTIC WORLD

KNOWING BOTH LIGHT AND DARKNESS ARE NEEDED

IT IS NOT EASY TO LOVE THOSE WHO HAVE NO SELF LOVE

AND IT IS FAR TOO EASY TO HATE

GUIDE ME MERCIFULLY

FOR LOVE IS MY TRUE EXISTENCE

WWG1WGA

HOW MANY SUNSETS CAN I ENDURE

AS PALE PINK SKIES BEGIN TO SWIRL

EACH DAYS LIGHT IS CAST SO LOW

AND WELCOMES NIGHT WITH ITS GLOW

I WILL RECORD THE DAYS EVENTS

AS DARKNESS SETS IT’S HOURLY RENTS

BLACKNESS FILLS OUR SLEEPY NIGHTS

OUR SOULS ASCEND TO HEAVENLY HEIGHTS

WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FROM THE FALL

A LIGHT WITHIN EACH GALACTIC CALL

AND AS WE SLEEP WE CONTINUE TO SHINE

THAT LIGHT WITHIN THAT IS DEEPLY DEVINE

NO MATTER WHERE YOU FIND YOU RESIDE

SHINE YOUR LIGHT FAR AND WIDE

AND NOW IT IS WITH EACH BREATH WE TAKE

OUR SLEEPING BROTHERS WE HAVE TO AWAKE

WE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FROM THE FALL

FOR WHERE WE GO ONE, WE GO ALL!

THIS IS WHY I CAME TO FIGHT

Creating wings to help me fly

From here to there

I question why?

Given in to unrest flows

That guide me backwards

Away from goals

Who Am I? I hear my voice

That came to earth

Without a choice

I forgot the role, I wished to take

And journey forward

For God’s sake

To bring light in

To all who seek

To rid the darkness from the meek

For I am one and you are me

Lifting the veil

For all to see

To gather souls

Towards the light

This is why I came to fight
