Interesting Mantra

Morning Meds; 5 19 19

Interesting mantra:

I love the I Am, I am.

The love beyond this experience of duality is free from self-judgment.

It’s more of a force like gravity, than it is an emotion.

It comes as easily as our next breath.

Somewhere in that relaxed state we begin to realize we are eternally loved, and we begin to pass that love onto ourselves and others.

Dream Turtles

Morning Meds; 5 13 19

It is so much fun when you get a physical confirmation from the other side.

Dream…

First of all, I was starting a new job and I was asking who was in charge so I could get started.

(I don’t think it represents a new physical job. It’s the hope of being of some spiritual use to others.)

Part of the dream was that all the empty shelves I’ve had in other dreams over the last couple years were now all full, that was nice.

Next, I was at a dead-end road or short driveway, and I was kneeling down by a drainpipe.

In front of me was a forest scene, but I knew I was in the city.

(Nature scenes are always symbolic of spiritual for me)

I turned around to leave and as I was entering the street, I saw two small turtles in a small puddle.

They were eastern box turtles but there wasn’t much orange on the nose and head.

One of the turtles was completely out of its shell, but was in fine shape just crawling around, the other one was still in its shell.

I picked up the empty shell and peeked inside of it out of curiosity because I knew even in the dream that it wasn’t possible.

I set the shell down and woke up….

I interpreted the dream as the aspect of me who believes that most of our outside stuff is just a facade, and our true divine nature is fully intact within us.

It is always good to look in on yourself.

The two turtles were necessary to symbolize the contrast of the two views.

So, this morning, the 13th, after I did my morning meditation.

I Look out at the rain and think, “It might be fun to run in the rain.”

Not a normal thought.

I took off on my usual route of about three miles and by then the rain had stopped.

I get to my turn around spot, a place called Corby Pond and there in the road are two eastern box turtles crossing the road.

I have never seen any on the road before.

Thank goodness they were both in their shells.

I didn’t want them to get de-shelled by a passing car, so I stopped, picked up the first and walked it to the dead-end driveway, knelt down and slid the turtle down the place where the water from the road drains back into the pond.

The forest across from the pond was in front of me just like the dream.

I did the same with the other turtle.

I bet they are both still pissed off, they may have spent half the morning hurrying to beat the traffic across the road and I came along and screwed it up.

The point is, how wonderful is the love from the spiritual side that it would give me a dream that I thought was awesome, plus drop the notion into my head that it might be fun to run in the rain and then convince two turtles to cross my path at just the right time so I could get what I take as a confirmation that I am on the right track.

Cool stuff.

We have a universe of love within us, wanting to help us at all times.

Healing Elixirs

Morning Meds; 5 17 22

We are the alchemists of our existence.

The healing elixirs aren’t bottled on a physical shelf, they are bottled in our hearts.

Love, forgiveness, compassion, pardons, self-care, inclusion, patience…

They are mixed and brewed, selected from our mind’s ingredients of beliefs.

Carefully selected, self-administered, daily realized, and applied to our self-concepts.

We can prescribe to ourselves those emotional mixtures that allows us to feel healed.

(*emotional mixtures that heal our soul.)

*I wrote this as a final line, but our soul is never ill, and it would imply that our soul needs healing.

We are 100% Source energy.

We just need to re-realize it and acclimatize ourselves to that knowledge.

As our beliefs change our emotions and physiology respond.

Cave of Thoughts

Morning Meds; 5 16 19

Think of your thoughts as water

deep in your earthly cave

and your responses to life around you

the surface of a giant lake.

Clinging to your ceiling,

droplets,

thousands of random thoughts.

Among those drops of water

icicles,

more than one can count.

Collected, compiled, solidified thoughts,

they’re the beliefs we’ve slowly built.

When something happens around us,

our icicles release a drop.

They fall into our lake below,

ripples flee from the spot.

The ripples are emotions

we think they may be to blame,

but they are only reactions to what

we’ve stored in our cave.

The Greatest Gift

Morning Meds; 5 15 20

The greatest gift we can give ourselves is self-love, anything less creates barriers.

The most accurate information we can find for ourselves and about ourselves is restored realization.

“I know what I knew before I came into this world.”

“I am what I am before I came into this world.”

These can be very powerful mantras; they can also make for a bit of a bumpy ride.

They are door openers that really can challenge your acquired belief system but isn’t that what growth is all about?

We can have our washed memories restored, that’s what past life regressions are.

There is no reason we can’t experience them through meditation.

We are shimmers of consciousness, focusing on an experience we call humanness.

Beyond this dualistic enhanced experience, we are completely and eternally safe.

Fear is our only true enemy, and it only exists to lead us to love.

Love will always dissolve fear, just as light will always dispel darkness.

We are a part of Everything.

The All There Is.

We have already won our imagined battle.

We just need to realize it and start opening all the gifts.

It’s like Christmas and Santa dropped off everything we could ever want.

There is nothing but now.

Everything is already here.
