Using Your Power

Those of you who feel powerless are demonstrating the greatest power you possess: The power of illusion.

Thousands of years of civilization and indoctrination have convinced you that you are a powerless being and a victim of circumstances.

You hear of "miraculous" stories of people that for a brief time remembered who they were. 

They avoided getting onto planes that were destined to crash. They stopped themselves from walking in front of cars or going to dangerous places. A "hopeless" situation is resolved in an amazing way.

When all seemed to be lost, they turned inward and reached out to their guides to help them access their incredible power and it was done.

It is always done. This is a miracle, and miracles can and will happen everyday and often.

This does not give you the right to judge others. You can only be responsible for your own experience. If another is struggling then demonstrate your power, not to rescue them, but to shine a light to guide their way.

There is no time that you cannot access this power. Occasionally, your Higher Self or Angels and guides will intervene and discourage you when your requests will bring harm to you and others, but the ultimate decision on how and when to use your power rests with you.

So take a deep breath, put on your cape and fly! We on this side of the veil are always proud of you when you do so. ~Silas

A Bump on the Path

When you hit a bumpy patch on your path, do not give up.

Running into a problem does not mean that you should abandon the journey, but there is usually a reason.

Ask yourself three questions:

How might I be creating or contributing to this?

Human stubbornness can be a powerful thing if directed towards a goal. If it is allowed to stand between you and your goal, it is equally powerful. The invisible enemy to which you cry, "Foul," might just be you.

What lesson is there to be learned?

A difficult situation can bring about great knowledge and healing of old wounds. Ask your guides for the vision to see the situation for what it is so that you can learn and get on to better things. This is what they are waiting beside you, wringing their hands and shaking their heads for. They want to help you. Let them.

What is the best solution to the problem?

Ahhhhh! Now that you have acknowledged your guides, they are ready with plans and blueprints that will help you come up with a fast and positive solution. After you ask, be sure to listen and follow the guidance you are given.

No situation is hopeless and there is always a short cut back to the right path. You just have to stop and ask for directions. ~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

Don't Be Afraid to Ask

When spiritual artists create portraits of angels, fairies and guides, they are usually shown, being helpful, rescuing and giving words of comfort.

Nothing would make them happier than this, yet too often it does not happen until it is too late.

More than likely, if these artists painted your spiritual helpers as they spend most of their time, you would see them wringing their hands and shaking their heads with disappointment.

Your silly belief systems have convinced you that only those with special abilities and talents have the right to speak to these beings. 

It is actually those of you who have the least (or so you believe) aptitude for psychic vision and communication that these guides wish to contact. 

You do not need to hear a voice in your head, or see an angel or fairy in front of you to receive guidance and help. 

Know your question or problem. Ask it. Then sit in silence. You may get an answer, a word, a vision or idea. You may see a physical sign. 

Take a breath. Focus on your heart and take the action you feel guided to take. 

Even mistakes lead you further down the path. Don't get frustrated if you seem to misunderstand what your guides are telling you. 

It is like learning a foreign language. You cannot do it in one day. Talk to your guides daily. Ask for little things to practice this communication. 

Do not assume that no one is listening because your dreams have not yet been realized. 

Your requests are always answered. In most cases, the one who is not listening is you.

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.
