POWERFUL WORDS TAKE TIME TO BE ABSORBED
|| Written on Sunday 4th June 2023
I read today’s transcription and honestly can’t recall originally writing it. Yet today, the words bring me comfort, as if hearing them being spoken by a power way beyond me. A voice that guides with precision, care and support, and a complete understanding of my weaknesses.
From an early age, I’ve sought the approval of my peers and others that touch my life. But my parents weren’t forthcoming of such care and understanding, often hard to approach and dismissive of my needs.
This need to be valued has followed me throughout my life and is with me in everything I do. But I have learnt to be a lot wiser about who is really important to me and whether I should value their contributions to my growth.
Being a spiritualist I expect others to care, in the same way I care for them. But I have learnt that spiritualist people aren’t without egos, or without their own self-importance agendas. I know these people don’t care about my work or what I do. They don’t know me, and therefore why should they?
So I struggle. Every day doing this work, I struggle. I question why I do this in a public arena. Who really cares, and more important, as I said, why should they? Although I live in a beautiful home, have a loyal and loving partner, enjoy frequent holidays abroad and have the benefit of being able to spend more time than most exploring my relationship and purpose in life, I still have unfed and driving desires.
The truth is, we all have, at some level of awareness, a need for love from others. Our egos need feeding. Pursuing such desires misdirects our focus from the important reasons for our life, particularly working with an awareness of spirit.
The words today from this spirit connect are truthful and although they appear to be personal to me, I suspect the words will mean so much for many others. In my work, I’ve often removed my metaphorical clothes and showed myself bare to all. But that is also an invite to others to stop hiding behind a ‘public’ image that holds little representation of their real personality.
My dad always used to say to me, “the truth often hurts.” But when that truth comes from a higher spirit source, it should be listened to without judgement and accepted as a meaningful lesson for our life journey.
