Wisdom Within

     I have often thought back to those early years in childhood and reflected on the wisdom from within. There was a sense of wonder at life, a sense of stillness and yet barely contained excitement.  Beyond even that, there was a deep sense of knowing and yet an openness to the potentials this new world had to offer.  

     Somewhere along the way the knowingness gave way to doubt, peace and stillness gave way to fear and insecurity and a potential that made us shine and step forward, faded from view and we stepped back and felt small and unworthy.  As childhood vanished and adulthood was embraced, a feeling of having lost something precious, speaks to us in the recesses of our consciousness.  

     And so our amnesiac journey of rediscovering ourselves begins,the return to the whole magnificent self and the return to full potential.  For some it is a journey of numerous cycles, that takes a lifetime to complete, and yet for others  a single moment can shift all that was forgotten or set aside.  Each journey is so unique and amazing and such a gift.

     While moving through our journey, the Universe hears our silent plea for wholeness and steps in with insight, experiences or moments of opportunity and clarity; a moment to open a new door and a new potential.

     One such moment, that feels like a lifetime ago, happened when a wonderful wise man sat me down and explained to me a simple and yet profound idea.   "Everything you need to know, all the knowing you are searching for, is no farther than your own inner self.  No guru, no teacher, no book or study will provide you with anything that you don't already have within yourself. "  

     With my mind so set on the practical and the linear, it was an idea that was beyond my grasp in that moment.  Years later I understand the simplicity, beauty and truth of those words and realized that the journey was one of my own making, whether effortless or limited.

     But I will say this for the journey, 'it has its merits'.  On the journey within, we meet amazing people who show us a magnificent human potential or the mirror of our limited selves, we visit extraordinary places on the planet that fire the imagination or we spend endless amounts of time on the proverbial park bench of our choosing to just be still.  We have endless experiences in our careers, relationships, wealth, and health, that toss us to and fro, up and down.  Whatever the journey, however soft or chaotic the experience, we return to the simple truth.  We have a wisdom and power within that is beyond anything that we can imagine.   What an extraordinary thing to discover.  You are the one you have been waiting for.  It is there for everyone.  A choice is made and the journey however long or short unveils a beauty and magnificence within.  It really is that simple.  

     What an incredible revelation.  You return to the place where you started and truly see yourself as the infinite, limitless person you were always meant to be.    You understand that your wisdom truly is within.

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.     ~T.S. Elliot 

Have an amazingly empowered day.
Till next time keep smilin'.

It Is Up To Us

     It feels like a lifetime ago, when I first read 'It is Up to Us' written by Will Ash Bacon.  At the very moment I read it my heart was enchanted, imagination captivated and soul set free. These words encouraged me to look beyond my external world and rediscover the internal, infinite power within.


    We are incredible beings with an internal resource that is left largely untapped, directionless, and primarily asleep.  It is up to us to wake up and realize that we are the very creators we have been searching for.  We are responsible for all the expressions of energy that manifest in our lives ... individually and as a global collective .... those creations that sing out our magnificence and those that cause us to fall to our knees and weep in despair. 


    We have within us an incredible ability to reshape our illusion, to consciously create and to make a new life with incredible potential.  This simple idea is the great mystery that mankind has been searching for.  You are an energetic being with a power unlike any other and when thoughts, words and feelings are directed with consistency, intent, surrender and love, mountains will be moved, duality will vanish with barely a whisper and oneness will be restored.  Imagine a world where abundance is the ground we walk on, happiness is the very lifeblood in our veins, and potential is the very air you breath.


    We have stepped into a monumental year, that has the power to elevate us to where we truly shine.  Regardless of prophecy or legend, our combined energy of stepping into change and greeting this year with a knowing that life will never be the same, has a power to shift the very hologram we live in;  in fact life will be infinitely better for all who occupy this planet.  That thought in of itself is incredibly powerful. 


    This is our gift, and should we step forward and accept our birthright, we have an opportunity to witness a life we have only dreamt of.   

    We are here now, you and I and it is up to us to re-enchant this planet Earth.

It’s up to us

to re-enchant this planet Earth

We are the elves and giants

we are the shining ones

daughters of the Moon and

sons of the Sun

We are the shapeshifters

we are the mysterious light

shrouded in mists at

the dawn of our time

it’s up to us to re-enchant

this living planet Earth

Up to us to midwife

at our own rebirth

up to us to send our dead

along their

ancient pathways to the future

up to us to re-enchant this

living planet Earth

It’s up to us to break the spell

that steals the colours

from the world

and leaves it lifeless

it was our spell

we can break it

It’s up to us to break the spell

that steals the music from

the Wind and the Rain

it is our spell

we can break it

We will dance the magic dance

and our bodies will remember

we will sing the magic songs

and together we’ll remember

how to live together

how to love each other

how to ride the eagle

how to call the deer

Home
