Life can be a challenge. The ups and downs of life will never stop coming no matter how awake we become.
Challenge, or opposing forces, is part of life in this world, which is based in duality. The perspective that we
hold when the challenges arise will help us to either ride the wave on top or drown beneath it. If we hold,
or practice holding, a more awakened perspective the waves will appear less dramatic and allow for a more
graceful ride through the soul's destined life. When we find ourself drowning beneath the waves, we need to
reach out for a life-line, so we can transcend from the identification of the ‘me’ part of us, by shifting from the
ego who is drowning, to the True Self who is the Eternal Cosmic Surfer and rider of waves. The life-line to
the True Self can be as simple as a walk in nature, inspirational words or deep meditation and prayer. Let
yourself be guided to the way that will work best for you to connect to the infinite. The Infinite is every were
and is everything, so the ways are infinitely varied!
If we hold the perspective that whatever is happening is wrong and should not be happening we will torture
ourself and continue the spiral downward, all the while wondering why we are being challenged and how it
could have been prevented. We are conditioned to blame ourselves or someone else for what is
happening, rather than accepting the happening as part of life’s perfection, which needs to happen in order
that something else can happen after it.
What would life be if we accepted what has happened as necessary, so destiny could continue to unfold as
it is meant to? In other words, we would live more fully from the Creator's perception, seeing life as perfect
the way it is moment to moment. This perspective does not need to stop us from taking action, but will bring
us a deeper peace and clarity from which action can spring forth.
If we ride above the waves we will keep from getting battered, swallowing water, being confused and not
flowing and enjoying the ride of life. I wish for you all a graceful ride.
Much love,
