(This is an article I wrote recently....and thought to post it here on my blog...)
MOVING
ACROSS THE BOUNDARIES. ...As time goes on and our own
personal evolution progresses we find an increasing ability to move across the
boundaries that once kept us, unknowingly, ‘under lock and key.’
What
are these boundaries we need to move across? ...They are self-imposed
demarcation lines within us barring us from the very thing we are wanting! This
is a huge subject! But here it is distilled it to its essential essence
relevant to us for our own forward movement. And in order to maintain the
subject spiritually, we need to explore it spiritually, through our spiritual
senses, rather than our natural ones. (Personal is spiritual: spiritual is
personal. ...Involvement is spiritual, and Heavenly; and gets us taken where we
want to go. Outer-knowledge is natural, and Earthly; and gets us left behind! )
As
we become more intuitive, so we become more aware of the workings of our own inner mind. ...We are becoming increasingly
conscious of even the slightest nuances of thought and minutiae of feelings; and,
accompanying them mostly unbeknownst to us, boundaries between inner lands: walls
dividing inner realms. ...We catch fleeting glimpses of those things in us we may
need to change; and in subconscious fear instantly run from them as we hit the
boundary! ...Daily, moment by moment, we are presented with a choice, or a
challenge: to maintain that flash of insight we had into our own condition, or
to quickly hide from it, push it back down, and bury it! For it is often the
case that the thoughts we spy are not those we would like to have! And instead
of welcoming these, to understand them and deal with them, we hide from them! This
is our habit; and our unhelpful never-ending modus operandi. Yet these very things rising up to the surface in
us, knocking on our door, wanting to be seen, exposed and let go are gifts of
insight far too valuable to ignore...! No matter how painful they may be...! Growth
entails pain. Rather, we interpret it as ‘pain;’ but truly it is treasure, to
bring us the very light we were needing!
The
natural thing is to hide from the light that exposes us to our own selves. ...But
to function properly our spirit needs new light just as vitally as our bodies
need fresh water! In truth we are
learning to become more spiritual, and to be more connected, and in this our
spirit needs desperately every intuition into our own condition that it can get
– every gifted sight it is given of itself is important; and everything it
hears is vital! Blind we cannot travel very far. Deaf we cannot move forward
into hearing what we need to hear in order to change to become more filled with
light. And there are boundaries to cross within us that we have not allowed
ourselves to hear of yet which are keeping us from our truest heart’s desire, and
what we most earnestly seek! Therefore, if we are selective with our intuition
and shut out what we think are ‘the negative insights,’ we cannot be further
released into a fuller expression of our mission and purpose in the world.
We humans are like ostriches! ...We
have all grown up to believe that the thoughts and attitudes within us which
witness to us as something ‘bad’ in us, are bad, and, therefore something to quickly hide from so we can’t see them! And there
we are not unlike the proverbial ostrich burying our head in the sand and
imagining we can’t be seen!!
Perhaps our ‘ostrich nature’ is in us because
we haven’t totally accepted that we are always
loved: non-stop; and always forgiven: even before we knew a need in us to be forgiven!! The acceptance of these two facts is our
bedrock. Our foundation. If we built on this we would sail across every
boundary known to man! We would fear nothing! It is only fear which holds us
back! Fear is our sole enemy! Without fear there would be a greater and greater
outworking of our personal call and deeper involvement in the particular part we
have been given in the increase of the spiritual wellbeing of humankind upon
the Planet.
But, whilesoever we are running from the
light, so it can’t shine on us inside, we are opposing our own selves! ...We
are subtly becoming, our own enemy! And so we are missing out...! And being
left behind...! But the more we will allow the light to expose us to our own
selves, the more full of light we will become, and we will cross The Line – The
Boundary, and ‘disappear’ (...being unintelligible to those with less light: because it is considered darkness to them...) and enter heaven here on Earth!
*
The
most glorious Afterlife – which surely we all seek – is a realm of total light!
...So, without our being all exposed
to the light, shining in on us where we are here and now, we will not be able
to bear the total light of heaven, shining in on us there where we want to be!
For light is matched by light, and darkness by darkness: so that wherever we
are ‘at’ now is that realm we will actually dwell in then! ...There is only
NOW!
It
could be that we are refusing light thinking it darkness! All our own evolution or forward
movement is according to the light
we are able to bear knowing that whatever the light exposes in us IS LIGHT not
darkness! The darkness in our thoughts and attitudes vanishes at that very
moment we accept the light which exposes them in us! ...All
things that are exposed and reproved in us are made visible to us by the light:
so that whatever becomes visible to us within us IS LIGHT!
Therefore,
we should welcome the light that
reproves us in us! ...For there is no darkness so great as our refusal to
be made manifest by the light! To run to
the light, that it might shine on us in us, is our highest forward movement,
and works for our highest joy, and our eternal happiness!
We
are of all people most blessed which understand this! ...This
‘back-to-front-truth!’ For this is the key which unlocks all the doors of all
the boundaries that have kept humankind captives since time began!
