Temporary Burden, Permanent Blessing

There was a time on this planet, when all people were considered equal. It does not exist in your recorded history, because you history has been written by those who defeated individuals of lesser strength and influence.

Those weaker ones are like a person who has broken their leg. 

The condition is temporary, and  with help, that person can heal and be a contributing member of society. 

The leg is immobilized, the person is given assistance in obtaining food and helped to get around as needed. This is done because all are aware that the leg will heal and the person will again be able to care for himself and help others in the group.

A temporary condition of powerlessness when addressed with compassion, can help the person to get back on their feet.

Helping out the less fortunate can get tiresome, and you sometimes reach a point where you say, "Enough is enough!"

You withdraw help, breaking the cast, forcing the person to find whatever food they can get.

You rationalize that they are not doing their part and so it is morally right for you to cut off all assistance.

The person desperately tries to walk on a badly healed leg and does more harm to themselves.

The injury worsens and becomes a permanent condition of disablement.

Now, the person has truly become a burden to the group.  Your prophecy has become self-fulfilled.

Yet, what if you let the person heal; demonstrated compassion without resentment. What if the person completely healed and from the experience, not only regained full strength, but a new found compassion for others. 

He has become even better than he was for having been broken. 

He returns as a equal, contributing member of the group and has more experience and gifts to share.

What if every time, instead of marginalizing a group to separate yourself from those who are "weaker," you help them to become healed and strong.

Then, your self-fulfilling prophecy will create allies and partners instead of burdens. 

But then, perhaps, your world is already in such a perfect state that you have no need to do this.

Yes, we have made a joke. We hope you find it funny, and educational. ~Silas

The Healing Journey

Healing is a process.

When you are healing, whether it be from a physical wound, an emotional pain or spiritual attack, it takes time.

As you heal, you gain new tools, new strengths and new knowledge. 

A physical injury might keep you off your feet long enough to write something amazing, paint a beautiful portrait or learn something entirely new.

As you heal, you take these gifts with you.

Sometimes learning a truth about a past situation will cause you to emotionally revisit it and look at it with new eyes.

You will find that you can more easily forgive yourself when you know the truth of the matter. Then true and lasting healing can occur. 

Many times when you think a situation is resolved, it will come back. It will cause you grief and pain. This is the nature of the healing process.

A physical wound will sometimes get sore and itch. It will need to be cleaned and retreated for complete healing. 

If you broke a leg, you would not remain in the cast forever. You would go back to the doctor, have another x-ray, and if the bone is not set properly, you have that fixed.

It is the same with an emotional wound. It is not a one-time process. You need to check in, make adjustments, re-treat the injury and rest. Not as a wounded person, but as one who is healing.

It’s okay to feel pain. Treat your pain. Be gentle with yourself, then each time, move on a little bit more. 

Revisiting a past injury does not make you weak. It shows that you are moving forward rather than repressing your pain. 

You may go for months without feeling this pain again, or it may be only hours. It depends on your situation and where you are in your healing process.

Recognize the pain, feel it, find a way to express it whether through tears, physical exercise, a creative outlet or conversation with a friend or loved one.

Then let go and move up another notch. 

You have free will and you are more than welcome to stay in your pain and even move backwards, but why would you do that?

Welcome the tears, allow the grief, but let them be solicitors at your front door and not house guests.

Your body, mind and spirit are a sacred holy temple. Do not entertain demons there. 

Be a polite host. Greet them at the door. Recognize them and learn about them, then say, “Thank you, but I’m not interested,” and close the door.

If they persist or are aggressive and rude, then call the “police” in the form of Spirit or your guides and angels. Allow your invisible bouncers to escort them off your property.

Healing is a journey and it may be a long one, but pain is never the final destination.

You climb a mountain one step at a time. Some days you will run, others you will limp and occasionally you will rest. 

Just don’t end the journey in the middle. Walk slowly if you must, but continue your ascent. The view from the top will take your breath away. ~Silas.

Dream a Little Dream.....

Sometimes the Universe slows you down as you approach a goal you have been working to manifest. 

This is not out of cruelty, but love. 

The problems you have come from your thoughts. If your thoughts do not change, problems will persist and you will bring them into the new situation, job or relationship. 

Then, when a new love, more money or a great career comes into your life, you will think, "Perhaps this isn't what I wanted."

Trust your first instincts. If want something with all your heart, it is your birthright to have it and to enjoy it.

Don't dilute future joy with present problems. 

Resolve your emotional issues now, not when you can afford a self-help book or workshop. If those are what you need, one will fall into your hand. 

You have what you need to heal your life within you right now. Ask what needs to be released. Work through it and let go.

Move into your new life without heavy burdens.

Only then, can you create the future you've been dreaming of, and enjoy it as much as you enjoy your dreams. ~Silas

Paradise Now

Your planet is a paradise. It is a living, breathing being.

You are one with her.

With the effect of karma, what you do to the Earth Mother, affects you.

You have given to her, your pain, your physical and emotional garbage.

You have harmed her children, the creatures and humans who live on this plane.

In our realm, we feel it also.

You have been told, that this damage is irreversible. Nothing is irreversible, that is judgment talking.

There are physical things that you can do to help. 

Appreciate Her gifts of food, water and material things. Do not waste them.

Do not kill off entire forests or species, for that karma will return to you.

That is the assignment for your entire species, do not be intimidated by it. Simply do your part. 

Send her love and healing energy. Notice the flowers and the beauty of the sky, the waters and the trees. Be kind to the animals you encounter.

Your intention is more important that you can imagine. By “intention” we do not mean, “think about doing it”, but rather, “do it with feeling.” 

You are here, and right now, you have within you the power to do what needs to be done.

Take small actions daily, the results will astonish you, and don’t forget to regularly, “call in” to Mother Earth in your meditations. She misses you.

Send her love, send her healing, you are connected. When you heal Mother Earth, you, yourself, will feel healing. 

You both need this very much. ~Silas

Perfect Health

Before you reach for a pill for your anxiety and stress, take a break and go outside.

Allow the energy of the Earth to calm and ground you.

You vibrate in harmony with this planet. Closed buildings, machinery and artificial light are not natural to your vibration.

Allow yourself to feel the sun on your skin, the grass under your feet and the fresh air in your lungs.

Perfect health is your natural state and your body knows what do to find balance.

Trust and allow this to occur. You deserve it. ~Silas

Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Healing can be a messy business.  Emotional healing is extremely difficult for most people.  Many would rather heal from a broken leg than a broken heart.  A break that is improperly set can leave you damaged for life.  

You can put it off, deny it or suppress it with painkillers, but the problem remains until you chose to heal it. A bit of hard work is required,  but the ends always justify the means.  You will be glad you started the process.  Whether you’re healing from a death, divorce,  job loss or illness, healing takes time, but suppression and denial waste time. It’s okay to be gentle with yourself, but for Heaven’s sake, get started.  You owe it to yourself. 

Healing doesn’t take place all at once. There are steps, phases and plateaus and a qualified counselor is always helpful if you can afford it. If not, just think of Nellie Forbush from “South Pacific”.  Healing is not as simple as washing your hair, but it is a good place to start:

·         Lather-  Start the process. Get wet with a good cry, lather with some self-care and pampering.  It’s okay to feel the emotions. It may hurt, but you are only visiting the feelings, you are preparing to send them packing. It is temporary. You are setting out the boxes and trash bags and preparing to clean house. Things may look messy at this point, but that is okay.

·         Rinse-  Begin to let go. Release pain and heartbreak and allow healing to come in.  Purge your closets, get a new hairstyle, buy some new clothes. Perform a releasing ceremony. Have fun and laugh at every opportunity. You are rebirthing yourself for the better.  Let it show.

·         Repeat-  Healing can take a long time, but with each cycle of healing, you get better and stronger.  The sadness goes away and you have moments of joy and bliss. When the energy gets heavy, repeat the process. It gets easier each time.

Healing can be like a new workout routine.  It is hard to do in the beginning, but once you start to see results, you are encouraged to continue. You are worth it. ~Silas
