I’m currently reading “Mystics & Saints of Islam”
this text stood out to me:
“… the hidden depth of the human heart is divine and illuminated by light from above; for in it is mirrored the eternal truth completely, sod that it encloses the Universe in itself.”
I believe:
The human heart and it’s sacret hidden depths that enclose eternal truth is self illuminating; and when the light is shining one will see that the universe resides within.
I received a beautiful card last night from a dear friend and I absolutely loved the words.
Life’s Pathway
AN INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE BY EMILY MATTHEWS
At times, life’s path
Seems filled with things
That make the going rough,
And we wish there were a smoother road,
For we feel we’ve had enough…
But if we pause a moment and remember Who’s in charge,
The hills that loom ahead of us
No longer seem so large,
And every rock before us,
When we know we’re not alone,
Becomes, not just a stumbling block,
But ne more stepping stone.
Emily Matthews
I asked Love to be my teacher
I had no idea that I would be thrown down a rabbit hole and completely transformed.
I’ve learned
to have without ownship,
to let go when hanging off the edge of the cliff and having faith that i will survive the drop and enjoy the swim
to be selfish and to give
to accept the pain just as I would accept the pleasure
as much as things may seem complex we’re all connected and come from that same Divine Seed.
to let go of what i think i know and go with the flow
be thankful at the end of each day
to cry and let it out
to breathe deep with awarness and follow my dreams
… Most importantly to laugh and not take life so serious!
We all have the right to be who we are! We all have that light that is Divine inside so let it shine.
Its one thing to agree that there is one God, its another thing to actually experince each religion on a personal level within and prove it to yourself.
How far would you go to prove that there is one God and there is no one right religion?
Has it ever occurred to you before you damn another religion and its followers to hell; maybe the religion that fits your size maybe the right religion for you, but not for another. If you don’t have a complete understanding or knowledge its best to ask God the creator to show you and give you understanding without the infuence of another humanbeing…
Would you ever ask God to show you to teach you to give you understanding of another religion, or does fear keep you from asking?
If I told you that I have basically ventured down the road of each religion in the photo above within the past 8yrs on a personal level excluding judiasm and each one has lead me to the Same destination, only difference is that the scenery is slightly different, but all enlightening and worth while; would you believe me?
To some 8yrs maybe doesn’t seem like a long enough time to experience each religion fully, but what is time to God?
I did not do to well with my dedication to men last week! My apologies men!
I often sit and think about men and wonder whats it like to be a man? Yes, I know what it is like to be a woman and I’m still trying to master this task along with learning about who I am, who I am as a woman and as a human being that is ever changing and growing. I sit at out door cafes and watch the men pass by; I’m intrigued with the roles that they take on being a man and I can only IMAGINE what its like to be a man. I find them to be sexy, strong, and mysterious, wise and even weak at times like a baby bird. As many men that I am close to and get to know on a intimate level (friendship, family, lover) there still something mysterious about them maybe the mystery is I’m a woman and he is a man.
Thanks to Garance’s blog post Oh Boys… She got me thinking about the opposite sex. Sorry guys I wasn’t able to completely finish my week on you men but I think you all are incredible!
Below is part of a Poem written by Cordie B. to read the rest just click below.
I hold the world with closed iron fists
Though others cry; I vaguely mist
My ego causes my heart to roar
Yet also causes my mist to pour . . . . like spilt milk wasting on the floor.
Instinctively I’m a territorial being…
Not into that which can’t be seen…
Though often I claim to see the light…
Most times I focus on black and white.
Beauty prompts my groin to soar…
Yet also causes my mist to pour. . . .like spilt milk reproducing more!
My thoughts so often unrealized…
Not even I can crystallize . . .
the myriad of issues– real or fantasized . . .
My triumphs cause my voice to roar to
In the middle of the night I felt alone, I felt afraid curled up in the middle of my bed, this feeling is all new to me even though I have been there before in the past long ago, I start to cry and become irritable, tears start to fall, and I find myself on my knees at the end of my bed, not finding the words I remain silent then my heart starts to speak to the Lord. I hear God’s voice telling me, I will hold your hand through this Marie, I will carry you when you can not walk, I will speak for you when you can not speak, I will teach you, make you grow into something beautiful, I will make you brand new over and over again, listen to me when I speak take action when I tell you to. I start to cry until I fall asleep. I hear God in my sleep asking me have I ever let you down. I reply no.
I am reminded of the 23rd Psalm
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever
So I woke up this morning feeling a little dizzy and light headed (no not a hang over, LOL) taking it easy with the wine these days it is not what I need or want right now. I drive into work run into a spiritual friend of mine who I only seem to meet up with when the time is right. He ask me “so Marie how are things going with you?” I say “I have my days today is a good day.” He then says to me. “Marie don’t get attached to things”. I feel a small punch in my tummy. I look him in the eyes and he says to me “we don’t own love, its beautiful to experience love, but we have to keep evolving, be grateful for what you and Charbel shared, you gave him a beautiful gift and he gave you a beautiful gift, but when things start to keep going round in circles, but not going in any direction that’s not good. Love him, but keep on moving, keep on learning keep on loving.”
I could have hugged him for saying this to me. He asked me if he was being harsh, I said “no this is one of the most kind and beautiful things I’ve heard so far”.
So I am going to grow beautiful and bright like it has been written. Do I have any regrets? My answer is; No regrets I love my life that is bright like my name Bright Light Warrior Nika.
