Homesickness and The Light

Greetings in Gratitude!

Some of the basics are so very basic that we may not talk about them much, but this blog is a perfect place for me reflect on elements of our journey that have meaning for so many of us.

Following the opening message for a new client a few days ago, she was tearful and a bit embarrassed. First tissues, then explanation, to say this is common when we feel the presence of Spirit. Whether we touch deeply into our God Space in meditation, during a dream, or in a session, we feel to the depths of us the satisfaction of a hunger we have carried throughout our human journey. And tears are a natural response.

This hunger is homesickness; a longing for that dimension or layer that holds all of our other realities or aspects. It also is home to those we have loved in this life and all guides and angels who are bonded with us on this journey. It's no wonder we tear up - even sob - when we surrender enough to visit there.

You know what I'm going to say next: Breath takes us there. Surrendering all of our denser realities we journey within to reveal the stream of consciousness, the bridge, to that Home we hunger to know again.

Repeating to Nancy a vision I had this morning, more clarity came that inspires me about our true Self. The vision was a repeated image I've been having lately. I am opening a door. At first, seeing it, my logic argues with the vision. I am opening a door outward with my left hand and the light is coming from within my room in an arc that penetrates the shadow beyond.

During all of our metaphysical journey we've heard teachings about the Light. We were taught that in our search for enlightenment we needed to follow a path to find the Light, to live a life worthy of that Light and so to enjoy our en-Light-enment when it we had earned it, when we "found" it. My vision corrects an old, conditioned response that the Light must be found.

Exactly the opposite is true. WE are the Light. It is within us and always has been. As we open the door to what is beyond, we share that Light and illuminate the shadow. We may have temporarily forgotten the Light, but overlooking it has not diminished it. We are IT. Nothing can deter us. We are on this path to recall this brilliant, original aspect of us.

We are recalling our own Light, and so, Becoming all that we can be; in our bodies, the Light from us illuminating the path we walk including the people and situations that can benefit from our energy. This is why I do not beseech any external source for help. When a person is in need of attention, I hold them in the Sacred, knowing that with breath and intention the Light becomes available to them and they will use it as they see fit. Each of the others is also a perfect being, carrying the Light of their own Divinity, taking the path that serves them best.

Until next time,
I am Phyllis, Becoming
