Okay, I don't know what it is but something very heavy has been going on since September that is shaking most of us to our cores. Regardless of how far along the spiritual path you may have felt you've come, if you're like me, the last two months have seen the return of some very old, and ugly emotions.

I see some petty fighting going on here, and I've been doing the same thing in my life. I'm distanced enough to watch myself saying and doing things that I'm not pleased with, yet drawn into it just the same. I KNOW there's a reason for all that is...including this. Perhaps this is a huge cleansing period where we have to "get out" all the remaining negative junk inside of us.

I think we need to try to keep our emotions out of it though, and take the lessons where we can find them. We're always saying how were ready to move beyond our human frailties, and this may be a major opportunity to do so.

I even became terribly, horribly ill...throwing up, and the whole deal. I see that some others on here have had that too. Let's not just chalk these things up to coincidence. Perhaps it's one last push to the finish line, (at least I hope there aren't too many more!)

That said, here's what real: All of us on this site have had glimpses of the amazing power of the Divine. We've touched the surface of something beautiful and wise and forgiving. We want more of it. We realize that we're not perfect and we're open to healing and changing in order to live a truer life. Forgive yourselves for these things...ask yourselves what there is to learn from these experiences...and then do your best to let them go. Who we are is demonstrated by who we choose to be from this point forward...not what we've done, or who we've been in the past. Those things were just to give us perspective in this moment. We WILL rise above this, stronger and more serene. More in touch with the truth of who we really are, and more on track toward our ultimate goal of being the hands of Spirit.

I send you all love and light, (that saying my be over-used but let's not lose sight of it's MEANING). I hope you will feel empowered and accepted, for whoever you are and whatever you've done. Today is a new day, what will you make of it? Blessings! Mama
