Perseverance Through Faith

Be thankful this day for Perseverance Through Faith.

The word perseverance means of us as individuals to steadfast, to keep moving. It almost sounds like a competitive nature to keep moving, when we keep moving, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense, we as humans’ breakdown, but our spirit remains strong, though hidden and retreated. When we move through faith, we summon our inner strength to be present in the moment to see past the current circumstances. There are many moments in our life where the outlook is grim and seemly no way out. We reach out to the Creator to assist us, yet in reality we are looking in to pull out our own strength. Sometimes we marvel at ourselves when we do overcome a situation or circumstance. How do we overcome such feats? Where does this inner light strength come from? How do we reshape our world? All we do comes from the blind faith and releasing all expectations in the situation or circumstance.

Our Souls were built to endure the lessons we face daily on Earth. Our lessons are made to assist in growth and to find who we truly are. And to discover the truth about self, we must endure the lessons. The lessons and messages repeat themselves until we progress and get it. There is a moment or prolong period we endure what Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith calls "The Dark Night of the Soul". This period could last for years, until we finally get it. This Dark Night is filled with not knowing and uncertainty. It feels as if all you know is lost and your immediate superficial world has crumbled. Yet through all of this we stand, stand committed to knowing self and seeing the light and joy when the night is over. There are those of us that don't see the dawn. I say to you don't give up. In the midst of a depression, I wanted to give up so bad and stop all I was doing, and then a little voice said to me "Don't give up Hillis". It was scary because I didn't know how to move forward. I just found the one thing bringing me joy and peace and clang to it. In order to make it through, we have to find one thing bringing us joy!

Times joy is our salvation from a world crumbling. Through joy we can remember and recognize who we are. When we are taught lessons, we are remembering who are. Joy is the easiest emotion to attach to because it is who we are innately. We don't find joy, Joy and Love is who we are. Joy allows us to be free from of extenuating circumstances. It is the escapism brought forth to ease the endurance of the Dark Night. The reason why we endure, preserve is to be humble by the lesson, knowing we are more than our situation, our circumstance. As we bring joy and gratitude to the lessons, we learn them quicker and release the pain and anguish, because we are learning who we are. Through the learning of self, we begin to trust self more.

Trust is something we already have and give. We blame others for the misuse and virtue when trust of self and others has dissipated. Trust has only been replaced with an illusion created by self. This illusion creates a safeguard and place for the Soul to retreat too, hence the reason why it's so very easy for some to lie. And when they lie, they usually say "I said it to protect you...." or any variation. Why do we need protection from the truth? The truth comes from a place of light, love and understanding. We have to accept the truth as it appears in our hearts, which shapes our Faith. The faith shaped comes from accepting the being honest with self and others. We should love what the truth offers, freedom to be our true self!

When we open self to blindly endure the lesson of trust of self, we see self as we truly are. Our perception often changes to fit the situation, yet remember the lesson is to endure and find the joy. Once we feed love into every situation, no matter how grim, light and love will pierce its way through. We will always endure and evolve to the next level of self, it only a matter of time and trust.

Be thankful this day and everyday to keep moving is the midst of a crumbing world.
Be thankful this day and everyday to learn the lessons desired to evolve to the next level of self.
Be thankful this day and everyday to truly know self and having blind faith to bring fourth desire life changes.


Don't Stop Me

Standing in the foreground of life
learning what is me
the truth

Spirit exuding through all darkness
standing in solitude
with no one left
moving on

Handling what was given to learn
fallen to the illusion created
foresee the light
the joy in humbleness

Taking the chance given to evolve
breaking
shattering the illusion created by self with self

I can only show me
guided by light and Creator of all
I can go on
A repetitious cycle of evolution
don't stop me

Compassion

Be thankful this day for Compassion.

Compassion is another level of love. Over a long period of time, we have created a Darwinian Society, a competitive environment. Our natural state is not one of competitive nature, it is compassion. Through the choice of living our lives, we conducted experiments by following the lead of our planet and the inhabitants. By following the lead of other species, our human self thought it was ok to be competitive. We learn from example. From the examples given in nature, we interpreted the interactions as competitive. When one form of species kills off another, we viewed that as claiming dominance. We interpreted that one interaction, along with others as the normalcy to interact with our kind. The act of dominance plays in every faucet of our life, everywhere from the boardroom to the classroom, even on the public streets. We learned how to assert our dominance to overtake another to get what self wants. We assert our dominance through creating a sense of fear and impose our will upon others. Now we are moving to place to create more compassion for self and others around us. How can we welcome others in our life with absolute love and compassion?

To truly understand compassion, we have to look at self. Do we accept our self as we are? With self-acceptance, we can truly see who we are without judgment. Through the self-acceptance comes the forgiveness we owe our self to grow in wholeness, completeness of self. During the growing in forgiveness process, we release all we turn up causing, fear, and the illusion created to be less than who we truly are. "Love is what we are born with. Fear is what we have learned here. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts." - (Marianne Williamson). At times it can be challenging to be an "open book" all the time because of what we allowed our human self to endure the illusion, creating a thick wall between our two halves, human and spiritual selves. With giving and receiving forgiveness, we can slowly melt the wall created to keep all separate. Remember we are one with self.

Coming to the understanding through forgiveness creates compassion is easy once we, for self and others see who they really are. In our minds we create an illusion of what we desire instead of seeing what is truly there. Yes we bring fourth our desires, but we bring them as they are, not what we create. Our manifestations are just that, bringing fourth what is already in existence. Compassion already exist, we just have to bring it fourth, within self. Yet, we reserve our compassion for those we know. However when we are moved enough, we extend compassion to others we don't know. All levels of love are expressed and shouldn't be placed on reserve for those close to us. The challenge then becomes, how much should I express or when should it be expressed?

As humans, we can be so open and trusting when it comes to giving and receiving compassion/love, until we are harmed emotionally. Then we hang on the harmed caused by the initial experience. Then the compassion/love becomes conditional for self and others. It becomes challenging to trust self and others with the giving of compassion/love until it is earned by self or others. To experience the totality of life we have to free our self from the prison created by withholding the expression of compassion/love from self and others. Remember, when we were created to experience life it was done, unconditionally. We have to offer and extend the same to others and self.
One quote came across my vision and would like to share it and as follows: "If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another." - Buddha
Compassion is a give and take flow. The more we extend self in an unconditional compassionate manner, the more we receive. True compassion comes from an authentic place within. Compassion is being aware of the desires of those around you, (i.e. others species, strangers, friends and family). With the heartfelt compassion expressed, we can meet the desires of self with integrity and morals intact. Through compassion we learn more of self, others and our internal and external environment. We are connected through compassion.

Be thankful this day and everyday for accepting self as is, creating compassion for self.
Be thankful this day and everyday for compassion to freely flow into self and others bringing down all barriers.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the compassion expressed to self and others, allowing more compassion to flow in the universe.

Life's Path

Be thankful this day for Life's Path.

The Life Path is a journey to your purpose. There are a few purposes in life we set out to accomplish. The overall purpose is joy, then we are to teach others and finally learn our lessons our Soul-Self sets out to learn. The joy we come to experience is different for all at varying ages and stages in one's life. Our true joy comes from within. To be a teacher to others is to one practice what we preach, and two teach others about our life findings and experiences. Know no life lesson is insignificant. The lesson our Soul-Self seeks to learn from is for the advancement of self, ultimately becoming a Master. The experiences we choose to experience move us closer to becoming a Master. We become Masters of self and Teachers to world. Also a duty of a Master is to both teach and learn and in some respects we are Masters, just young Masters. The Life Path we choose before we incarnate is in alignment with our purposes, aiding us in becoming the Master we desire.


With being a Master comes great wisdom and knowing. It is about pulling information from worldly places and not just one source. Any Master can see both sides of a situation, interpret the surroundings and see all as it is, while being neutral and judge-less. When we are neutral, we are looking through life from a higher place, times baring witness to self. Gaining a higher source of perspective takes time and can only be gained through experience and awareness. The witness in-self allows for freedom to see ourselves in action or reaction of situations of total life experience. All the first true Masters were Alchemist.


As Alchemy Masters, we learned to experiment with different concoctions. Our life itself is an experiment. We are learning to mix up different experiences to result in the best solution or
SOULution for self then to share our findings with others. The findings are shared with trusted souls, and then it spreads to others to try. For some the Soulution will work well, for others they may have to add or take away something from the mix. The Life Path is filled with different experiences for us to try. The joy comes from us learning new things about self on the path. It's the excitement we experience that is the most gratifying. Take a moment to remember the excitement when you learned something new about self.

When we learn about self we innately share with others, those closest to us first. The sharing of excitement is natural, because our Soul is innately jovial; another reason to know joy is our purpose and natural state of being. Whatever it is bringing you joy, be with it and share it. When you are not at a state of Joy, speak up and let it be known to the Universe and the Creator so your life mix can be realigned. However, times we must experience our opposite of joy to be sure we desire our joy. Joy is love and love is joy, both intertwined and have to be expressed freely and unconditionally. Then once we find the joy it is what's share with the world and world knows it. The world knows it, because we are all connected. On our Life Path, we are all connected.


The connections shared on the Life Path are one of Divinity. We all possess a Divine light and the right to express it. Through the expression of the light, we then become true Masters of self, teaching others as we go throughout life. Our life is dual one, being students and teachers, yet they are one. A great teacher is a great student. The illusion of the world is all is separate. Nothing is truly separate. Our world is based on the co-existence and harmony of supporting one another, all life. While on the Life Path, we have to understand we are equal and here to raise one another up. If we do all we set out to experience in experiment on Earth, then we will have the desired joy and learned our
Life Lesson
 
.

Be thankful this day and everyday for the journey taken on the Life Path to reach purpose.

Be thankful this day and everyday for learning to be a Master of self and the ability to share with others.
Be thankful this day and everyday for expressing the Divine Light within self to learn the desired lesson.


Transformation


A place of transition

Feeling lighter
Certain of what fruit to bare

All the lessons

All the experiences
All the lies
All the truths
All the hurt
All the strength
All the quite
Creates movement stirring up the soul

A seven year cycle bathed in light rainbow

Moving forward in confusion and clarity

Rejuvenated from solitude

Listening to soul of higher self
Self Guided
In progressive movements being grounded and understanding of the entity

A living oracle to self

Soon to be for all
One voice
One energy

In stillness much is moved

Loosened
Shifted
Granted permission to enter the stage of self-evolution

Life Valued

Be thankful this day for Live Valued.

All life should be valued, no matter what. I usually put aside all personal feelings when I express varying levels of gratitude. Also, I tune out outside distractions, (i.e. the news); however some things just can't be ignored. In light of one recent worldwide event, I'm compelled to express this Light Being in another manner. I was saddened to see the elated faces of the American Society with a death of one man causing a Nation so much grief. Yet I understand the illusion of joy created by such an event. Remember our joy comes from within and through the experiences of life totality. I came across a quote this week speaking to my heart and soul. The quote is as follows:

“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Remember we all made a choice to participate in the evolution of humanity. All beings, all life forms are equally important. I am not defending nor condoning the actions of one man, nor the actions of others. I'm accepting the growth of humanity as a result from the actions. Most of us regret actions taken, yet from those actions we have grown. Most of the choices made, were predetermined, we then come to understand why we made the choices. Our choice is not ours alone to make. The Creator assists us in making the choices for the greater good of humanity. It is when our human brain/ego gets in the way of the choice process. We feel and think we are greater than all and impose our thoughts and ideology on others. This is how our pockets of society are created.

The society we create is a small cultural community.  We find commonalities to bond one another, whether the commonalities are faith, purpose, or any binding agent. Each society has one voice. Each person intently listens and follows directions from the one voice, times blindly. During this process we lose our own voice. Then when there are issues to loosen the bond, we get angry or disappointed, because we lost our bond to an idea and not the person.

We are bonded together because we are ultimately one voice talking, singing in unison. We are humanity operating on different levels of experience and working to raise other vibrations to join in to fully enjoy Life. Our life starts from within, with holding nothing and experiencing everything we created. We are three dimensional beings, thinking one dimensional, living in a six dimensional universe. All we know and desire to be in inside us. What we know is the light source emitting from one another (human, animal, and insect) is the same light connecting and created us. Our life is as equality important as any animal or insect. They have their purpose in the world, just as we do. The animals and insects are the examples we should live by when it comes to caring for our Home, the Earth. They are the examples when it comes to coexisting on Earth. Just because we appear to be different, does it mean we are different?

We are spiritual beings, trying to be human. As we humanly mature, we forget we are spiritual beings. Until we spiritual mature, we will always be at conflict with self and others. The life we choose to live is just as important as the person living lavishly or the person who is homeless. We have to reawaken the true self, spiritual self in all of us to fully experience the true value of life.

The value of life is taken for granted daily. I understand and know the difficulties of becoming aware in a bogged down society and "living". The question is, are we really living or just surviving until we die? Know that we are flesh and we experience the fleshy, material world as it is. Yet there is no accountability for the undesired outcome. We only account for the desired creations. Also, we take the lessons learned from those outcomes to move forward and transform self materially and energetically. Are we are who we are because of what we chose to experience or because of others influence? This is where the true sense of value is gained. I leave these questions to you for self-answering...
Are you valued?
Do you value the life of self and others?
What does being value or validated mean to me?
How do I cultivate the feeling of self-worth?

Be thankful this day and everyday to see the value of self and others.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the progress made for self-validation.
Be thankful this day and everyday to know we are equal participates in the society and humanity created.





Vessel of Life





Bringing me through the darkness into the light of this world

The budding seed of life and light

Carrying me like the light of the universe with care and grace

Nurturing me like rain to earth

As I grew you became my earth

I gravitate to you

Keeping me centered and grounded

Deeply rooted in the existence of life

Necessity is the mother of all invention and you made me

My guardian

My angel

Keeping me safe from the world’s pain

The shelter when I had nowhere to run

The peace when there was chaos

You bared my cross and carried your own to breathe me life

I honor the energy you conceived in me

Caught in the glow of your smile

Following in your steps to make my own as you held my hand

Resonating with your touch

Keeping me strong

Overcome life obstacles with your faith

Enjoying life while being oblivious to the behind the scenes of magical moments

Unconditional love regardless of mistakes

Discipline cause it was the right thing

Then to wipe away tears now knowing everything is ok

Doing what is done cause you taught me well

Living with purpose and joy

Feeding this soul with an abundance of love and care

Without knowledge and understanding you filled me with faith and dreams

I can be anything

A simple embrace and I know the warmth of your bosom brings a brighter day

The sun in your smile brings on a joyful glee

Knowing and feeling your spirit no matter where I am

Carrying you

As you carried me

In the heart

In the soul

In the energy conceived

I am child

I am life

You are the vessel and we are one life

Protecting the young

Comforting the heart

Educating the mind

Developing the body

Cultivating the spirit

Allowing me to be as I am

So many tasks not asked of you

So many duties obligated by you

You are the first word

You are the giver
You are the vessel of life
