From Creation to Creator

Image
 In the same way a man must leave the family he came from and go on to create the family that will come from him, is the same way beings on a spiritual path must leave their biological family that they came from and seek their spiritual family. To the families that have created us, we are its creation. And when you are a creation, it assumes a creator, a higher power. So, there is something that has come before you that is guiding what you become, what you are molded into. The presence of a creator assumes something has been created or is being created. We are usually either operating from the perspective of creation or creator. As a child, you are a creation; a living creation; a creator in training. You are being created to be able to create more things. And what are human beings of today creating? The ultimate goal of living things is survival . Are we creating things that sustain our ability to survive on this planet? The next goal of living things is to live . Are we

The 'Plant' Society

Image
Once upon a time... ...a man went out to buy a plant. He didn't know much about plants except that they all need water, sunlight and air. He felt his home could do with some decoration to lively up the place. It also feels good when being able to take care of things.  He brought the plant home and placed it on a table that he cleared JUST for the plant. He bought a watering can and found the best spot in the house for sunlight to place the table for the plant. A few days went by and he consistently watered the plant with two cups of water everyday, and left it exactly in the spot he put it. Everyday he woke up, or came back home and saw the plant, he was quite pleased with himself.  After about a week and a half, the plant started to droop. He assumed this meant he was not watering it enough. So he started to give the plant 3 cups of water a day. Only a few days after that, the plant had looked even worse. The leaves were turning colour and falling off. He decided to move the plant

I Do

Image
I was having an issue with a friend of mine when I remembered something I've read and seen countless times; whenever you're riled up about another person's actions, be sure you're not reacting to something you see in yourself. After much thought about the issue, I came to the conclusion that my friend, with all their wonderful intentions, was acting from a place of subconscious thoughts and pattern and their actions were more likely to reflect those than their intentions . There was a disconnect. I checked in with myself and realised I was guilty of the same thing. I tried my best to show that part of me compassion and I soon became a little more forgiving, understanding and patient with my friend. Conscious, deliberate action. That is the theme that came to me this morning and has stuck with me and I'm sure will ring in my mind throughout the course of the next few weeks. There are 4 phrases that I think are very helpful to refer to when looking to make cha

Discernment

Image
Thank you for your patience. Let's just get into it, shall we? I've seen countless posts, statuses, pictures about how hard it is being a good person. And how good people always get the short end of the stick. And 'my toxic trait is that I love too hard'. Let's get real for a second. This 'woe is me; look at how hard my life is when all I do is good; people don't appreciate all I've sacrificed' attitude is played out. It might be hard to hear (or it might not) but it gives off a very victimised energy and as though you are helpless and don't take much responsibility for the direction of your life. It is not your good heart that steers you wrong. It is not your selflessness that gets you hurt. It is not your trustworthiness that gets you manipulated. It is your lack of discernment. Having a good heart is a wonderful thing to have. Don't knock being a kind person because you feel as though kind people should have some kind of better lif

'Ungrateful'

Image
Thank you so much for the out pour of love from my last post. It is now my most read post :D and still being read. So thank you thank you thank you. I realised I focused a lot on the tough parts (or at least I think I did) but I didn't mention nearly as much the love I've been receiving from unexpected places, the new friendships I've formed, the support I've been getting from unexpected places. So thank you. I might not have gotten everything I expected but I got a lot of what I didn't expect and tbh, it was worth the loss. And not everything, either... Thinking about how I didn't highlight the good as much as the bad, I started to ponder on a few things. Along with some other situations here and there, I started to wonder about what it means to be 'ungrateful'. I'm pretty sure you've either been called ungrateful before or you've called someone ungrateful. Maybe we call other people ungrateful quicker than we call ourselves ungrate

Little Big Lessons

Image
Let's see if I still know how to do this. Thank you for your patience, if you've been wondering when next I was going to drop a lil sumn sumn. I wanted to wait until I had some profound thing to share but the lessons have been coming in like raindrops, so it's hard to keep up. Also, something being profound is usually in the eyes of the beholder. So maybe there'll be a nugget in there for you if need be. Ya girl is pregnant. And this is how I got here: So this journey been one long ass rollercoaster ride. If anything, I've been learning how to say less. So it's been hard to write because I like to explain things in detail but I also want to keep things short and sweet. This period has been about transformation, for me. I feel like it's been that for a lot of people as well. If you've felt stagnant for a long time, or you've been putting off something you think will be life changing, I think the discomfort with where you are has eith

Icing on the Cake

Image
Up at an ungodly hour with a lot going through my mind. Recently on twitter, I read something about metaphors being a great help in dealing with certain issues because it can give you a new perspective on a familiar problem and hopefully motivate a change in behaviour to help deal with or eliminate the problem. metaphor (n) (1) a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract (2) a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another for rhetorical effect. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas ----- Beware of things/people that are just icing on the cake.  Better yet, beware of things/people that are just icing and aren't even on the cake. Imagine seeing somebody eating a plain piece of cake. Maybe you might start craving some yourself. Even if you don't, you kinda just overlook it. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's just a normal adult eating cake.
