Re-Writing the Story

You have vivid imaginations, capable of amazing visions. 

What would happen if you used this vision to create beauty and love instead of fear and hate?

When you see a person who makes you fearful, what is the source of that fear?

Did this person actually hurt you? Then your fear is valid. 

Did someone who looked like them hurt someone who looked like you? Do they belong to a group that did something to harm another person? Are they just so different that you don't have an opinion to form, but you create a fear-based one and view them as a threat?

The man covered in menacing tattoos may be a doctor who saves lives. The standoffish young woman may have been recently assaulted and has not yet learned to trust. The person whose skin is of a different color than yours may be somebody's mother, brother, child or the best friend they ever had. 

If you don't know someone's story, and can't make up a positive one, then don't make up one at all. Better yet, get to know the person and create a whole new chapter.

Changing the world is not as hard as you think. But it does mean working hard to change your thinking. ~Silas

Across the Veil

We are quickly approaching a time of year when the veil between worlds becomes thinner. This has happened for centuries, but at this time on Earth, the re-thickening will not occur.

For those who are waking up, this is good news. Your gifts will continue to grow. Your messages and insights from beyond the veil will increase both in number and accuracy. 

It is as though you are going from a telegraph communication to a high-speed internet. 

This change will be a challenge, but if you are expecting it, you will breeze through and have tremendous spiritual growth at this time.

For those not yet awakened, there will be confusion and fear. They will feel constant distractions and an inability to focus. 

Those who have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder (disorder being your word not ours), will have an easier time as they are already accustomed to living in what seems to be a chaotic environment.

Their coping mechanisms will be helpful if you are open to them.

If you are feeling fear, turn within and let go, for you are holding onto a rock in the river that is preventing you from being pulled along by the current to a safe and beautiful shore.

Meditate daily, whether in the form of sitting still, walking or dancing. This will teach you to practice non-attachment and allow you to flow with the coming changes.

Do not be distracted, by the media and by the dramas of those around you. You always have an oasis of peace within you. That is truth. That is reality.

You will not leave this world yet. It is important to use the power of your actions. Purchase wisely and vote your conscience. Show love and compassion to those around you who are in chaos and fear.

It may appear that all is lost, but that often happens just before the final victory. Don't give up.  ~Silas

They Can't Take it Away

Spiritual practice can be a wonderful thing. 

It can bring people together for a common purpose and strengthen the resolve and inspire all those in attendance. 

Many of you have found practices that give you a sense of belonging and pleasure. That is good. For you.

It might not evoke the same feelings in another. 

You will not pull yourself closer to the Divine by demanding that others join you in your practice. If your practice suits you, then you have no need to involve others. 

If you feel that your spiritual experience is ruined when others are not forced to witness it or join in, then your beliefs and faith are weak.

No one can sever your link with the Divine, except you.

If you feel that all around you must believe as you do, you are living in fear and looking for safety in numbers. 

As with anything else, when you look outside yourself, you will never find what you seek. 

If you believe in your spiritual practice, then practice. Let others join in o not as they see fit. They cannot change or destroy your relationship with the Divine. 

Group thinking can bring about positive change, but it can also perpetuate and strengthen prejudice and fear.

If you feel the need for spiritual connection, talk to the Divine, to your guides, ascended masters and angels. We of the Fae realm would appreciate a positive connection as well. 

If someone asks about your practice then share if you like. Just don't demand that they listen. 

The ultimate cosmic bit of humor, is that you are all headed to the same place. You can drive, walk, sail, or ride a bike to get there. No mode of transportation is wrong, as long as you don't force others to get into your car. 

Kidnapping is not a spiritual practice. Any ransom you get is not worth the karmic debt you will incur. 

Enjoy your spiritual life. Opt for the private session rather than being a member of the audience.

It is much more valuable and it is free of charge. ~Silas

Replacing Fear with Adventure

You are so quick to place fear upon a situation that you have never encountered. 

You might be starting a new job, or looking for one. You might be meeting someone new or going somewhere you've never been. 

Rather than anticipating the next great disaster in your life, what if you changed your attitude?

Instead of seeing yourself as a potential victim, imagine that you are a great explorer or adventurer.

"What will this new day bring? What will I learn? What profound, life-changing, spiritual truths will I uncover this day?"

Go about each new day and new experience as though you are leaving to go on a vacation trip. 

 

What goes right, will bring you pleasant memories and joy, what goes wrong, will teach you valuable lessons and give you funny anecdotes to tell.

Your human tendency is to fear the unknown. This causes you to fear things such as success, power, money and love.

You try to attract these things while surrounded by your fears and often have less than stellar results.

Visualize yourself as having what you wish for and looking back and remembering that you just had to approach it with a sense of wonder and a dash of daring. 

Know that this vision is very real and waiting for you. 

If you want to get to this destination, you need to buy a ticket and board the plane. If you've never traveled by plane before, then enjoy the ride. ~Silas

Everything You Really Should Know........

Let us talk, today, about sex.

You may be seeking a greater spiritual connection and sexual activity would appear to be the antithesis of that.

Why do you believe this?

You seek enlightenment through controlled, repetitive, directed activity, such as focused meditation, prayer or chanting. The purpose of these activities is to move beyond the activity into a state of unrestrained bliss and pleasure.

Sound familiar? A deliberate, directed action that erupts into chaos. 

Ancient societies incorporated sex into their spiritual practices as it was thought to bring about a communion with the Divine.  There are a few in your modern society that still practice this.

So how did a holy act become a shameful abomination, used only reluctantly for procreation?

Your judgment of sex comes from a primal fear of vulnerability. A cave dweller enjoying an intimate evening with a mate, a tribal celebration that erupts into group sex, set upon by an enemy or predator and unable to defend themselves, would be a serious concern.

Ancient superstitions of  “punishment” and “wrath of the gods” grew up around these fears. They were picked up by societies and religions as a means of controlling the population.

“But what about young people? What about sexual predators?” you ask.

Your young ones have natural feelings that you fail to explain to them, or convince them that they are unnatural. They rebel against you and have sex because they cannot overcome these urges and because it is forbidden. 

Sexual predators do harm. That is never acceptable. Usually, they operate from a sense of deep shame that was instilled in them through humiliation or abuse.

Consensual, safe sex behind closed doors harms no one. The only Divine hand at work is the one who gave you these urges that lead to amazing pleasure.

What a generous gift to waste over guilt. 

Enjoy your sexual pleasure. While you travel through your life, on this planet, it is an experience not to be missed. ~Silas

Judgment of Judgment is Judgment

The human race is a multicolored patchwork quilt of beliefs, ideologies and behavior patterns. This is a good thing. You cannot imagine how boring your life would be if it were otherwise.

For your entertainment, you have been provided with companions whose ideas may be different from your own. 

This is a good opportunity for learning and spiritual growth.

Why do their words upset you?  Do they make you feel angry? Sad? Victimized?

What does this say about your own beliefs and how might others perceive you?

It is all right to have a different set of ideas and beliefs. It keeps you on your toes and makes you think. It shows you where your emotional triggers are and gives you an opportunity to work through them.

You can look at another and say, “That is not what I want, feel or believe,” without attacking them. 

You can state your own ideas and do not have to respond or reason with your detractors. 

You do not know what it is like to be the other person; therefore, you do not know how your own words or actions might be affecting them. 

An offhanded remark may bring up a traumatic memory from the past, and the person will feel defensive.  They may lash out in their attempt to deal with strong emotions.

Do not judge them too harshly. Let them know they have been heard, and agree to disagree.

People, like animals, lash out when they feel wounded. 

You may feel that you have been judged harshly. You may feel that the other person has no right to do this. 

You may feel that they are wrong, close-minded and inflexible.

Congratulations, Your Honor!  You are now the judge.

You have a right to defend yourself if attacked, but a preemptive strike against them or a devastating attack will only make the situation worse.

Judgment leads to more judgment. Spiritual maturity gives you the ability to stand nearby and say, “That’s your reality. Thank you for sharing.”

Early in life, judgment is important. It teaches you not to touch a hot stove or walk into a door. 

As you grow, you learn that these behaviors do not serve you and you avoid them.

The stove isn’t bad. It’s just not a good idea to touch the burners.

Someone who has never seen a stove doesn’t know this. Have compassion for them.

Don’t judge the judges. If you feel the need, then walk up to a door and yell at it for being in your way. 

You will get the same level of satisfaction, without spreading more fear and anger.

The door will continue to serve you no matter what you think about it. ~Silas
