Allowing the Creative Flow

We on this side of the veil, often find you humans to be quite amusing. We adore you yet we are confused as to why you make your lives so difficult.

You have an idea or project in mind and you force yourself to stare at a screen for hours, hold a pen to a blank piece of paper, grasp your tools tightly in your hand with no work in front of you. 

Ideas and inspirations are always around you. You do not have to fight to pull them in. You must relax to allow them to come to you. 

If you saw a cat you didn't know and wanted to pet it, you would probably not think to trap it in a cage or chase after it. 

You would sit quietly, calling softly to it, perhaps offering a bit of food.

Before you know it, the animal is "petting" you with its head and following you wherever you go.

When you feel stuck, relax. Call for the idea or inspiration that you desire. It will be brought to you.

You will combine it with others and put your own unique energetic signature on it and make it your own.

Ideas do not come "from" you when you slave and focus on the problem, but rather "through" you when you open yourself up to the Divine source of all creation and creativity.

You can access this source by physical activity (walking,dancing), meditation, or simply playing with your ideas until inspiration sneaks in.

If you are struggling with your projects, it is ego trying to take over. If you find your creations to flow from you with joy and little effort, you are tapped in to Divine creativity.

Turn on the faucet and let it flow. ~Silas

Fairy Happy Holidays

We have a secret to tell you. 

Those who tell you that  you must celebrate a holiday in a particular way due to their beliefs are trying to get a reaction out of you.

You do not need to respond.

Like children, some people need attention. When a child misbehaves but does not endanger himself or others, sometimes it is best to just ignore them.

Another tactic is to set a good example. Spread cheer and joy and good wishes to others. Wish them well even if they tell you that you are "wrong."

Simply, smile as you would to a mischievous child and move along to things that bring you joy.

If you would like to educate, do so with love. To angrily shout back accomplishes nothing and will only serve to divide at a time when people should be coming together to celebrate.

No one can destroy your holiday experience without your permission. 

Refuse to give it to them and move on to more important things.

We wish you the happiest of holidays, and know that every day can be a happy, holy day if you allow it. ~Silas

Gratitude and Forgiveness- The Gifts That Return to You

Most of you are familiar with the idea that gratitude can bring more good things into your life. The vibration of gratitude towards a person, object or event, will naturally attract more of the same.

Gratitude is not clinging. It does not grasp tightly to what you are grateful for. It is actually a release. Like putting down a beloved pet with complete faith that it will come back to you.

This allows more good things to flow into your life as you have not clogged up your energy by clinging desperately to what you have.

People will come into your life and do good things, bring joy and happiness and teach you from a place of love. Be grateful for them. Honor what they have done and do not look to them to supply all of your needs. They may remain in your life, or they may go with love and new people will bring fresh energy, love and healing your way.

Conversely, some people will treat you badly. If you want them to stay, continue to dwell on all of the mean things they have done to you. They have, after all, done you a service. They have shown you who you are not. They have pushed you, through fear and intimidation, out of your comfort zone. They have given you an opportunity to learn skills that will serve you in the future.

The opposite of gratitude is forgiveness. It is not asking for more of the same. It is breaking the tie that keeps them in your life treating you badly. When you release them, you leave a void. Like all voids, it wants to be filled.

When you need someone to stop hurting you or you need to stop dwelling on past pain, think of the person or persons involved. Think about what you have learned. Be grateful for this lesson, and do not cling to them as teachers. Release them with love and the next situation will bring more love and goodness into your life.

You do not deserve and should never tolerate abuse of any kind. Once you have discovered the source of it. Let go and be done with it. You have better things on the way. Make room. ~Silas
