We’re all destined to speak butterfly, for this is our true language, but some might not have gone through the chrysalis of change yet.  The caterpillar simply has no reference point for the language of the butterfly.  However, unfortunately, particularly in Western culture, people think they know, or should know, what they still need to learn.  There isn’t a lot of room in our culture for not knowing.

An open mind recognizes it doesn’t know and is willing to be shown–to be taught.  How else can we really learn?  If I think I already know something, I won’t even think to ask a question.  Why would I?  In my mind, I already have the answer.  Until we begin to recognize just how much we don’t know and are willing to ask inwardly, we are like children who are certain they know that 2+2 equals 5, wondering why all our bridges are falling down around us. 

I find it very helpful to take ideas, particularly those related to spirituality and religion, and simply sit quietly and ask, “What does this really mean?  What is this?” I ponder it and reflect upon it in the recognition that I don’t already know what it means or what it is. 

We can’t just read about these things or listen to another’s ideas about them and think we know what they mean; they must be experienced to be understood.  They must unfold as an actual awareness beyond the words.

After I began having direct spiritual experiences, I became like a two-year-old; I asked within about the meaning of everything.  I saw that I really knew nothing and wanted to know the true meaning beyond the little strings of symbols we call words.

I still try to approach every day as a two-year-old.  I try to let go of what I even experienced yesterday so there’s room for fresh, new, and more profound experiences today.  Nothing is more glorious than to be inwardly taught each day of all the magnificent wonders that are everywhere.

As we evolve spiritually, we are led to various experiences and teachings along the way.  Very early on, I was inwardly instructed to welcome these things but not to cling to branches of anything I think I know, but to hold onto them like butterfly wings, very lightly and willing to let them go so that the next step of my unfoldment has room to enter.
 

 

Letting go…

Eventually, we all need to let go of how we wish things had been, the mistakes we’ve made along the way, the mistakes others have made, and situations we’ve outgrown. We tend to hang on to the past, hoping that wishcraft will magically change what has gone by.

No matter what it is, letting go can be scary because we step into Continue Reading »

Most aren’t even aware of this, but we believe that if we look within, we will find the truth about ourselves, which will be too terrible to behold. Furthermore, we often believe that to think this of ourselves is humility.

On the contrary, what we actually find Continue Reading »

The power of gratitude is literally incomprehensible. If we could really see this, we wouldn’t hesitate to practice it as much and as often as we possibly could. It is Divine Love’s sister and the rocket ship to unimaginable places. There simply aren’t words to express the importance of practicing gratitude.

It does not matter one bit what you Continue Reading »

There is a light within you that can shine away any darkness. Call this light whatever resonates with you, but the most important thing is to go beyond what you call it to the experience of what it is.  Words, actual words, are too little and can Continue Reading »

There is a sweet song forever singing in your heart, a light within each of us that is always shining, and our stories are like clouds that obscure this light from our view and muffle its melody.

When we feel anything other than true peace, we are caught in our stories. What happened, what didn’t happen, and what someone did or didn’t do are all Continue Reading »

I came across this that I wrote some time ago, and I’m also posting it as a reminder to myself as I find myself in that darkness right now.

Like the Sun, the light is always shining within, but sometimes we have to pass through some dark clouds to see it. Hang on. Don’t be fooled by the darkness; when we pass through, it’s sometimes an indication that we are moving closer to that light. We will never be left in the dark. We all push through eventually and blossom. It’s our destiny to blossom.

I know it can seem challenging, but the best way I’ve seen to pass through those dark clouds Continue Reading »

Need a faithlift?

We always put faith in something; when I sit in a chair, I have faith that it will hold me up. My faith isn’t a blind faith; it is based on the many experiences I’ve had sitting in chairs. We can also put faith in the darkness of problems, suffering, and pain. When we’ve experienced a lot of these, it’s hard not to do this, so we need new experiences, light experiences, to learn that there is something else we can have faith in.

To have true faith, we need to Continue Reading »

I’m never sure what I will post, and today, this one popped out at me. It pretty much says everything. I know that this is said a lot in many ways, but when I began having true spiritual experiences, this is what I began to see.

I had literally searched everywhere for some sense of, well, I didn’t even know what I was searching for; I just wanted to feel something other than various degrees of the same misery. Continue Reading »
