Mony Dojeiji with ACIM

From the beginning of 2022, I began posting my articles on our website.

They now reflect more closely the teachings of A Course in Miracles, which came into my life in 2000 and to which I have dedicated these past years to studying and practicing.

As I read through my past entries here, I realize that the spiritual vision I was sharing then was closely aligned with the Vision of the Course, but with some areas that still needed refining.

As with all journeys, there is expansion; a shedding of what no longer serves, and an acceptance of a way of being and moving in the world that is more aligned with the Eternal. I wasn't ready then to accept the full Vision of the Course, but I can see how my steps through the teachings of the Christ Consciousness of White Eagle and the Ho'oponopono forgiveness practice were steadily leading me here.

No matter where you are on the path, I hope these blog entries serve you, and that you will continue to follow my writings on my website blog.

One thing is sure: we walk together to the awareness of the Love that forever binds and holds us safely as One. And we never walk alone.

Infinite blessings,

Mony 

Why we are Afraid to Surrender, Forgive and Love

 

Mony Dojeiji

I do a great deal of personal writing, much of it my way of working through whatever comes up for healing. I don’t share all my inner work but, in this case, I felt nudged to do so. Love is always nudging 😊, wanting only to offer Its healing and peace to all. So, I am following Its call.

I was reflecting on ideas I was taught (with all the love and best intentions in the world): that I’m too trusting and too nice; that I need to be less naïve to survive in this world; that being kind and generous only gets you abused. The difficult experiences of my life – especially those around betrayal and trust – proved those ideas true and led me to over the years to harden my heart and dismiss the notion of ever forgiving the perpetrators of those acts. 

I was sitting with Spirit, looking at the residual guilt, shame, rage, blame and thoughts of victimhood. I felt my resistance, my unwillingness to let go of the belief that I am innocent and they are guilty. My mind kept replaying all the scenarios to justify my holding on to the anger, while Spirit patiently waited for me to loosen my grip.

At the same time I was going through this process, news came of the 67 Palestinian and 2 Israeli children killed in air attacks. A week later, the remains of 215 children were found on the grounds of a residential school in British Columbia (Canada). Then came the attack on a Muslim family out for an evening stroll that left only the child alive; followed by the discovery of another 751 unmarked graves, and now more, bringing the total to about 1500 children so far. 

It’s intense emotionally. It takes everything to stay anchored in Love and not to attack, condemn and judge.

It’s especially hard because there is something primal that’s triggered within us when we hear of children being abused, killed or harmed in any way. It is an attack on innocence and purity itself that our minds can make no sense of and that no explanation can bring our hearts any measure of peace.

It seemed odd to me that children dominated the news. I began to wonder if there was a connection between what was happening within me and what was showing up before me.

It turns out there was.

So, into the circle of all-enfolding Love I now enter, and invite you to come with me if you so feel called; to lay aside for a moment the anger and grief, all that we think we know about who we are, what’s happening, what we should do, why we’re here…and consider for a moment another way of looking at this situation that may bring us all some peace.

Let Love lead the way. 

Let healing begin with me.

If I accept that I am the source of what is happening in my world, then I must take responsibility for what I am seeing.

If I can’t do that – or even consider the possibility – then I must fear that doing so means opening a Pandora’s Box that jeopardizes the very foundations of my belief system. If I fear looking, then perhaps my foundations aren’t as strong as I’d like to believe. Perhaps it is here indeed that I need to take a closer look.

In the case of residential schools, we see the calls demanding justice, seeking punishment for the guilty, having them pay for what they have done. I so understand, and honour and respect the desire to have the pain finally being seen so that healing can begin. 

I appreciate the outer action…

But does the IDEA that somehow justified all these actions disappear? 

Of course not.

It’s in the collective consciousness, of which I am a part. 

If one person has this idea, we all have it.

It may take different forms, but the central IDEA remains the same:

We are different, and separate.

I can do whatever I want to you because I am more X than you, and you are less X than me. My way is best. I know best. You know nothing. In fact, you are nothing. 

This is an IDEA that feeds separation. The good news is that all ideas can be changed. That’s why all minds can be changed. Nothing is fixed. Nothing is immutable.

Except Love. It is the only truth.

That’s why it can begin with me, in my own mind, in my own heart. Whatever I’m willing to challenge and heal within my own mind and heart will be healed in the collective. 

Because the truth is we are One.

This IDEA that we are separate wants to keep me (the “innocent” victim) condemning the “guilty” perpetrator. It insists that I cannot be loving to all. I cannot be kind. I cannot forgive acts that are unforgiveable. I cannot speak of love, or of a Creator who loves all equally. I cannot speak of the truth of our spiritual nature. I cannot go in peace without taking sides. I cannot be a friend to all. I cannot see the light and beauty and grace in all. I cannot speak of unity and brotherhood… 

Because to do so only gets you killed.

This IDEA now brings me proof and witnesses of all kind to demonstrate just how real and how right *it* is:

Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Yitzhak Rabin, John Lennon, most of the disciples of Jesus… and, of course, Jesus himself, the Prince of Peace.

And now, the children. The ultimate symbols of innocence.

All of them witnesses to keep me anchored in separation, in attack, in judgment, in condemnation and the IDEA that:

Being innocent and loving only gets you killed; and 

Those who abuse will do whatever it takes to maintain their power.

The remedy *it* proposes? 

Be tough. Defend yourself. Attack them before they attack you. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them. Be angry. Be vengeful. Look out for yourself and your own interests. Be strong so that they can never hurt you. Build more walls. Definitely harden your heart, and don’t believe anything that speaks of love or forgiveness because love only gets you killed and forgiveness is for the weak.

Any adult who has witnessed or suffered abuse can see these being the response of the wounded child; which is why these stories with children are so triggering.

This is why we are afraid to open our hearts.

We have ideas and beliefs that have morphed into traumas and fears that show us the consequences of being innocent or loving.

And the world is showing us example after example of exactly what we believe.

So, yes, by all means, with as much love, compassion and forgiveness as we can muster, let us address the outer situation with the residential schools;

But to truly heal – to truly be free – let us also have the courage to look WITHIN to the source of all these experiences.

This is perhaps the hardest part of the work; to accept that with my (often subconscious) beliefs and fears I am contributing to what I am seeing. See my June 6 post below.  I am projecting those fears and beliefs into the world; and they show up in forms infinite to confirm exactly what I believe, and to convince me of the futility of surrender, forgiveness and love.

It can feel daunting, overwhelming. And it would be insurmountable indeed if I believed I was doing this healing work alone. 

We are not alone. Ever. This moment, as always, is calling us to lean on the One who can heal these ideas of separation and bring us back to wholeness. Individually and collectively.

This is the true meaning of reconciliation: to make whole. 

There is no evil. Only a veil. (That’s a play on words.)

This veil through which I live (another play on words!) has a simple correction.

The I in which I live is made whole in love. (Switch out the letter I for the letter O).

When we allow Love to transform the mind that believes in “I”, we are transformed. We are made whole. We become One in Love.

From here, I offer this prayer:

“Father-Mother God – Creator of All – I come to You, bringing my grief, my confusion and all the burdens of my heart and mind.

I place them in the sacred fire of Your altar which is Love; 

And watch Love’s alchemy heal what I alone cannot heal.

Thank You.

Creator, help me correct this error in my mind so that I may have peace in my heart; so that I may know from You what is mine to do.

I am willing to see things differently. I am willing to understand.

I am your beloved Child. We are Your beloved Child.

In Your eyes, I am (we are) Innocent, Pure, Radiant, Joy-filled, One with you… and that will never change, no matter what I (we) choose to think, because that is what You are; and I am (we are) Your creation.

Help me forgive myself this error in my thinking that tries to convince me I am separate from You, from my brothers-sisters and all life.

Remove the veils that stop me from seeing my brother-sister as You see them.

Help me wake up from this dream of my own making.

Help me remember and accept the truth of what I am.

Help me remember and accept the truth of Your love for me, and all my brothers-sisters.

Help me remember and accept that I am safe with You.

All Your children are safe with You.

For Love is all there is.

Amen.”

May these words be of service 💖🙏💖

The "I" is a Lie

Mony - Ottawa River sunset

The I is a Lie.

This phrase entered my mind as I was weeding and clearing out some deadwood in the backyard. I'm certain it came as a result of my resistance still to the idea that I am fabricating this world that I am experiencing. It is perhaps the hardest spiritual teaching to accept and practice because my eyes show me otherwise. 

So, I sat with Spirit, as I do in these situations. I gave It all my resistance, asking only for truth to be revealed. I always ask to keep my own thoughts and beliefs at bay because I can’t learn anything new if I believe I have all the answers. I can’t touch the timeless if I’m anchored in time and all its constraints. I go, as best as I can, with empty hands and ask that they be filled. Always with Love. And always in service to Love.

These are the words that I wrote:

“You are created Whole, Perfect, Radiant, Powerful…by a Creator-Father-Mother-God who IS. God is. Love is. Light is. No words can sufficiently describe what is, in essence, an experience with the Divine.  

In this Love, this Peace, without end, you live. You exist. You know you are loved; and that you love all that is created by your Creator. You are joyful, wanting nothing other than to express this Love that you are and that created you.

You look upon all creation with reverence, appreciation and gratitude because you know it is part of you too. There is no he/she/they/them. There is only the glorious Oneness singing the praises of its Creator.

All minds are joined. There is no “other”. You are one mind that is joined with the Mind that created all.

Only thoughts of your beloved Creator exist.

You know nothing of separation, lack, need, defense, attack, labeling, fear… because these are not the nature of your Creator. They are not the truth of who you are (One Cosmic Body, One Universal Consciousness, One Holy Son of God), what you are (ever loved, at peace, joy-filled) and where you are (with your brother/sister and Creator, always).

This is the state you can call Heaven.

Then, a thought enters this heavenly state and declares, “I”.

It is a foreign thought; a thought of separation in a Truth of Oneness.

But because the mind is a powerful instrument – a gift of the Creator to its beloved child – that thought “falls” as a drop out of the vast ocean of Oneness, wraps itself in a “body” and declares, “I exist”.

And in the same way that a mind in Oneness only knows how to create infinite beauty, so then does a mind believing it is separate and alone now begins to fabricate infinite horrors.

Where Peace once reigned, now there is anxiety.

Where Love was known to be the only truth, now there is fear.

Where cries of Joy reached the far corners of the Universe, now there is sadness.

Of course it’s not the Truth of who you are, but this mind of fear and separation – this tiny aberration in an infinitude of Perfection – fabricates worlds and experiences to demonstrate just how “real” *it* is; how *its* thoughts and beliefs and ideas are the Truth of who you are.

And you believe it.

It uses your eyes, your ears, your bodies to say, “Look! See. Touch. Feel. This world is real. This pain is real. This rage is real. THIS is the truth of who you are and what the world is, so protect yourself. Defend yourself. There are a million dangers waiting to attack you, manipulate you and take away your freedom. You can’t trust anything or anyone. ‘They’ are evil. ‘They’ are abusers. ‘They’ are guilty. You are weak and frail, and can die if you don’t defend yourself.”

Wars, conflicts, hunger, poverty, homelessness, plagues, pandemics… all attesting as certifiable witnesses to what this mind is trying to convince you is real. 

The virus specifically is a remarkable display of this mind trying to demonstrate there is no God, no Creator, no Spirit, nothing Infinite or Eternal about you; that you are a body, born only to live a while and then die.

It attacks the lungs, the respiratory system and your breath. You can live without food or water (yes it’s possible, even though this mind of separation tries to convince you otherwise) but you cannot live without the breath. 

Life enters on every inhale.

Spirit – the Source of all Life – enters on each breath, giving you Life.

You in-spire. Literally take in Spirit. (The Latin word spirare is the root of both words: breath and spirit.)

What better way to try and prove that Spirit does not exist, and that you are not Spirit but a body that dies? And when the body dies, you no longer exist.

And you believe it.

The IDEA that “I” exist in a “body” – that I AM a body – is so powerful that to challenge it is to collapse the foundations of your belief system, no matter how erroneous it is. 

To challenge the IDEA that the pandemic, the wars, the poverty, etc. are the makings/inventions of a mind trying to convince itself that it is separate is heresy at best, lunacy at worst.

In its illusions, delusions and dreams you remain, believing what you see is real.

All the while dreaming, believing you are awake.

But would a loving God-Creator-Father-Mother abandon its child, leaving it to remain in this nightmare of its own making? Of course not.

A Spark of Truth is with this child, a Bridge leading it back to Truth, a Voice loving and patient, ever whispering,

‘It’s time to wake up. You’ve made a mistake in your thinking. This world you’ve made is not real. Nothing here can hurt you. It’s time to forgive yourself this error and come Home, where you are safe, and already One with your brothers-sisters and with God. You love them, and they love you. And your Creator has certainly never stopped loving you all.

Let Me help you remember this. Let Me help you see truly. Let Me lead you from fear to Love.

You do not end at your body because you are not a body. You are one mind, one heart, one inescapable extension of Love here to manifest the glory of this Love, with your brother-sister.’

Whether you listen to this inner Voice, Teacher and Guide is up to you.

Whether you are willing to examine the foundations of your beliefs is also up to you.

Fear. Or Love.

Asleep. Or awake.

There is no other choice.”

May these words be of service.

Love, always. ❤🙏❤

Vaccination, Freedom and Awakening

Mony Dojeiji

As you can see, I got my shot! Alberto will get his this week.

There are so many opinions about vaccines, just as there are with masks, physical distancing and washing our hands. In fact, they’re exactly the same arguments about FREEDOM:

That, as a free person, I have the right to decide what is best for me, and no external force can make me do anything against my will. The virus isn’t dangerous and even if I did believe in it, my faith/ immunity/ body are strong enough to handle it. Vaccines don’t work. It’s the government’s way of controlling us. The artificial ingredients they put in there are so much worse than the virus. Etc.

vs.

As a free person, what I do for myself impacts others – no matter what I believe – because with freedom comes responsibility to the community we share. What affects one, affects all. A vaccine is a demonstration of my responsibility to the whole.

If you’ll notice, what we are talking about here are BELIEFS. IDEAS. THOUGHTS.

Those exist within ME.

I put those beliefs out into the world, and the world responds in kind, showing me what I already believe...which only reinforces my belief, and I now see it everywhere….which confirms my belief! lol In that loop of my own making I remain; until I am willing to stop and consider another way.

What is freedom?

Freedom is the greatest gift given us by a God Love. Each soul here on this Earth is inherently free, because that is the nature of God. That is the nature of the universe and all creatures and creations. It is a universe that is in continual expansion fueled by love. Love is the only truth of existence. It is the only reality… no matter what our earthly minds argue or what our senses demand that we take as proof to the contrary.

There is nothing that can take away that freedom. Ever. Mask or no mask. Vaccine or no vaccine.

If we look at our Mother Earth, at the wisdom of Nature, at the plant and animal kingdoms, we see that relationships among its members are often symbiotic. The members care for each other and, in so doing, ensure the health and well-being of all and of the ecosystem that supports them all.

Humans are no different. We are wired to care. We are wired to love. We are wired to look after one another. That IS our true nature, given to us by a Creator whose nature IS this.

What gets in the way of the natural expressing of that brotherly relationship are IDEAS that we have learned that somehow:

To love is to lose.

To offer is to be deprived.

To belong is to disappear.

Even if I don’t buy into the symbiotic nature of our existence and I believe myself to be the master – all on my own – of my own domain,

Then how can anything outside of me imprison me or hurt me?

If I hold the idea that some outside political, social, economic force is trying to control me, lie to me, manipulate me…. then I have already chained myself by that belief. Not only by projecting that belief, but by interpreting everything I see through its lens. Of course this will be my experience. It’s what I believe. And what I believe, I will see.

I appreciate that refusing to get the vaccine feels like a statement of my freedom, a refusal to cooperate with a system that I feel is only trying to hurt me.

But if I were truly free, no vaccine would harm me.

There is nothing and no one in this world that can give – or take away – the state of being called FREEDOM. It is an inner state.

Freedom is of the mind that knows the truth, unwavering, of who it is.

Freedom is of the heart, awakened in love and compassion, which only wishes to extend itself into the world.

Freedom is of the spirit, which is already free, and doesn’t need to prove that to anyone else.

The ultimate freedom is freedom from the illusions of this world:

The knowing that I am always one with my Creator. That I am loved, and forgiven for all the errors in my thinking. That nothing in this world can bind me. That when I am bound to God Love, I am free, for nothing that is asked of me in this material world (be it a mask, confinement, social distancing, a vaccine, a law…) can affect the knowing that I am already – now and forevermore – free.

Alberto and I will get our vaccines, wear our masks and observe requested norms. Why?

Because it is the most loving thing we can do at this time; choosing not to add to the anxiety, tension and divisiveness that we see. We know who we are, and Who is with us, in every moment. A vaccine or a mask will not change that.

To us, this is the meaning of the teaching by Jesus: I render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s (i.e. the mask or vaccine, what is of the world), and render to God the things that are God’s (my freedom, what is of the Spirit).

In fact, when I went to get my vaccine, I anchored myself (my thoughts) in the truth that only Love is real, and there is nothing but Light within me and all around me, in every person that is there and in the “space” between us; Light in the nurse injecting me, in her hand, extending into a needle made and filled with Light, entering a body that welcomes it as Light. Like unto like. Light unto Light. Love unto love. No separation.

This, to me, is the awakening:

Looking at the fears and beliefs that veil the Light that I am and keep me separate from my brothers/sisters;

Offering them to Spirit to be corrected;

So that Love (the truth of who I am) can guide my thoughts and actions in the world.

We can choose to lift these veils now; or keep them in place, refusing to let go of the belief that we are separate and that something outside of us is trying to hurt us.

And while we decide, Love waits. Ever patient. Ever extending a hand to help us walk through this “shadow” to the other side where only light exists. Where only love is real. Where brotherhood is the only truth.

Love, always 🙏💕

Holding Space

 

Mony Dojeiji

To me, it is the knowing that there is nothing happening in my world that is separate from me.

Not one thing.

This is the meaning of Oneness. Of we are one.

So if in my world there is pain in any form, mine is to bring it Home.

Mine is to align with Love and, together with Love, look with courage upon all that I would rather look away from, and bring it in to be healed.

Because there is nothing that Love cannot transform. 

In the Love that I know to be God, I anchor... and bring it ALL in.

God knows what to do with it.

And in the Peace that settles upon my heart, Love can write its Truth and speak to me of what is mine to do.

This is my spiritual practice.

Each and every one of us who walks the path of Love can do this.

As always, let it begin with me. 🙏💕

My Article Published in "Light of Consciousness Magazine"!

 Look at what arrived in the mail today!

 

In this Autumn/Winter edition of Light of Consciousness Magazine is an article by yours truly! 😊

 

The theme of surrender - in this article and my previous videos - is powerful at this moment in my life, reminding me that I cannot know all things, cannot comprehend all that is happening in the world, with my earthly mind alone. That there is indeed a world beyond, a world I can only touch when I’m willing to surrender all: my beliefs, my concepts, my identities, my emotions, my fears...all of it, to Spirit.

This magazine is available online or on the shelves of your favourite bookstore. 

Thank you, Light of Consciousness Magazine, for the opportunity to share some reflections. Keep sharing the light! 🙏🏽💖

A Prayer/Offering

 

Mony Dojeiji

I know that this is a moment of great tension, anxiety and fear for many, caused not only by the pandemic but the upcoming American elections. Much is being said and prognosticated, all of it adding to the general sense of insecurity and unknowing.

I strive to be close to Spirit in every moment, but I am leaning especially heavily on It right now. I am actively turning away from the outer world, and turning towards the Light, Source of all that is Truth, known by many names, among them God, Allah, Creator, Universal Consciousness, Life, Christ Self...

To Its altar I come, bringing with me all my heaviness, and speak as I would with my closest friend, wisest counsel and most intimate confidant. I speak from the heart, knowing there is only infinite love, patience and understanding for me. These words I spoke today:

“Dear God, take this heavy burden that I am carrying in my heart, in my mind, in my soul. It’s too heavy. And I’m so tired.

I don’t want to carry this anger and hatred any more.

They are not who or what I am. They are not who or what You created me to be.

You created me – along with every man, woman and child – whole, perfect, loving, free. It is to this state I now wish to return.

I’m ready to lay it all down so that I can be at peace. So that I can feel light again; feel love, compassion and understanding for all again.

I give you all that is triggered in me by “those people” right now. I give you all the venom that I am pouring out, for I know I am only poisoning myself.

I choose to be at peace; and, alone, I’m finding it hard to do.

Thank You for being with me. I know that only with You is true healing possible. Only with You is peace of mind possible. Only with You can my heart be mended.

I choose to be a brother/sister to all. I choose to be a point of peace in a land of turmoil. I choose to heal. I choose to embody Love;

And with You, I know that I can.

It feels so good to rest.

Thank You for taking all this heaviness from me. Thank You for this calm that is now washing over me. I’ve so missed this feeling, this closeness, this safety. I’ve so missed You.

It feels so good to simply be.

Thank You.

My heart feels lighter. My eyes can see.

I love You.”

The words are not what matter; what matters is the feeling of being close to my Creator, of knowing that I am ever held, ever safe, no matter what is happening in the outer world because this Oneness with my Creator/God-Love is the only truth of existence.

When I come back to the world, I’m in a different state of being, and can look upon it with new eyes, understand from a more expanded perspective. I have laid the foundation and marked the path for any action that is mine to take, for I can only hear what is mine to do when I make my way back to that Oneness.

May these words serve this moment.

May all be blessed.  🙏❤️

Mony

Peace - a channeling

 

"Under the Storm" by Alberto Agraso

May these words from my meditation bring you peace: 🙏🏽

"The louder the world becomes, the more powerful becomes the call for stillness.

It is in stillness where the raging storms calm; and where peace can finally inundate heart and mind.

Peace.

That is truly what we seek now.

We look out onto the world, a world of distraction and separation, expecting it to offer solutions to our inner conflicts, inner divisions, inner torments, inner terrors;

But peace is not there. And never shall be.

Peace lies beyond… beyond all concepts that we hold of peace, beyond all ideas of who and what we are, beyond all definitions of self and existence.

It calls to you now. Heed its call.

The breath is your way-shower.

Breathe deeply now…and release.

Breathe again…and feel your heart.

This is where Peace resides. Feel Its presence, Its power, Its infinitude.

This is what you are. What I am. What each and every one is.

Rest here. And breathe.

Allow it to enfold you. Feel It expanding within your heart. Feel Its warmth. Feel Its embrace. Here, you are safe. Always.

Surrender all to It: your every fear, every worry, every bit of unknowing.

It wants to take them, and give you Peace.

Accept this sacred gift.

Embrace the Love that offers it to you.

It is, in truth, what you are and ever shall be.

In that eternal embrace of Oneness you remain; a light unto the world, an ocean of calm in a stormy world of illusions."

❤

This illustration is by Alberto Agraso, one of the 31 illustrations he has created for this year's #inktoberchallenge. It perfectly captures the stillness amidst the storms.

Looking Away

It’s so tempting to look away from all that we see in our world right now, source of much anxiety, fear and anger in our lives. We feel at a loss, helpless before a tide that threatens to overwhelm us.

In many (especially new age) teachings, we are taught to send love and light to these situations. I’ve done this too. As well-meaning as this is, I’ve come to realize that it also leaves me feeling disempowered, reinforcing a belief that the situation is happening “over there”, and has nothing to do with me “over here”; as if I am in no way implicated in the creation of that situation.

But if that situation is in MY sphere of awareness – if it has come to ME – then it is for ME to look at. Why?

So that I may fulfill the important task of bringing it to the Light. 

In so doing, I am taking the brave step of acknowledging my (most likely subconscious) part in its creation. I’m taking responsibility for any beliefs, thoughts, ideas within ME that have contributed to this situation. I’m taking responsibility for how I’m responding, with any emotion that is not love, compassion, brotherhood. I’m accepting that I don’t begin or end at the edge of my body, and that the larger world I see is part of my “self”. I’m accepting my part as the one who is projecting what I’m seeing in the movie of my world. I’m accepting that I was as a child learning to choose from love, and was unable to do so. I’m accepting my error. I’m accepting that I’m not judged for making this error. I’m forgiving myself, and accepting forgiveness. 

From this place of inner acceptance, I call unto me all that I have mis-created – my errors in thought and interpretation – to the One who can correct them.

My mind will insist that I am in no way responsible for what’s happening “out there” because I’m a good person and would never think, say or do anything that “they” are saying or doing.

That’s the refuge the mind offers us, protecting a heart unable to bear witness to the events of the day.

But the heart is stronger than the mind and its arguments. Our heart is a muscle, and like any muscle, it wants to flex! It wants to show its might, its power, its grandeur. It wants to be unleashed, but is kept locked up by a mind that wants to keep it – and us – “safe”. 

There is nothing that the heart cannot fearlessly look at because the heart is the seat of God Love. 

With God Love, I can look out upon the world and bring it in, rather than push it out; and give it the One who can transform it IN ME;

Who can take my fear and give me peace;

Who can take my helplessness and give me power;

Who can take my confusion and give me clarity;

Who can inspire me with whatever action is mine to take;

A few weeks ago, Alberto told me of a vision he had during a meditation. He was standing as a light himself surrounded by (absorbed in) a grander, more infinite light (like a sun) that he knew to be God. Alberto says he wants to go look at the “darkness” or “shadows” within him, and God says, “Let’s go together.” But they don’t move. Instead, a big movie screen appears before them, and they appear to be going down a spiral staircase into a dark dungeon with thick, rusted doors and bars. As the image continues to pass through them (remember, they’re not moving), the dungeon is transformed to gold, flowers and greenery. In one of the cages, they see a wolfman-type monster and a boy in rags. Both feel ashamed and guilty for what they have done, and shrink in fear; but they are pulled into the light, which transforms them into two beautiful beings of light who now reach out and extend their hands to be part of the greater light.

It is a powerful image which has stayed with me. 

I believe this is one of the most loving things I can do at this moment: 

Remember that I am One with my Creator, and all of creation. This is the source of my true power.

In that Oneness – in that state that is Grace – I open my heart wide and draw unto me all that I see that causes me fear or angst.

In loving gratitude, I allow Spirit to do the work of liberating me…and the world.

May these words serve you in your journeys.

Love, always.

The Labels we Cast Upon Another

Mony Dojeiji

Four years ago, we were living through a period of suicide bombings. Fear gripped us as we witnessed the horrors in countries around the globe. The entire world was on edge, not knowing how to respond or even contain these acts.

A good friend sent me a private message then, asking:

“What is going wrong with the world, Mony?”

Not a loaded question, eh?! 😄

I’ve taken my original response to her, and expanded on it. The focus is around the idea of LABELS.

Of course we know that today, even as then, we were going through a deep transformation, confronting the ever-fundamental questions of who we are, what we believe about ourselves and others, and what kind of world we choose to live in. And with each cycle of change, we face our hidden biases, our deepest fears and prejudices, perhaps even our shame and guilt at the feelings that these events awaken in us. We go through this inner reckoning individually and collectively.

Our mind loves to separate, to divide, to create bundles and pieces of information. It does this because it needs order. And with order, comes the belief that it is in control. And in its quest for order, the mind creates labels:

Terrorist. Fanatic. Radical. Extremist. Zealot. Maniac.

Even as I’m writing these words, I feel the energy shift within me. I feel the characterizations that these words carry. I feel them feeding the separation between me and the person, dehumanizing them, making them into an object upon which I can thrust all of my judgments.

These labels, however, are artificial; inventions of a mind seeking to understand what is often un-understandable…not with our human mind anyways.

The more we hold on to these labels, the more we keep them in our collective consciousness.

The more attention we pay to them, the more of them we see.

The more that we believe that “those people” are incapable of change or growth, the more we keep them where they are, and look for any action to support what we believe.

We do this individually, and collectively.

But we can change those labels, because what’s a label? Nothing more than an idea, a thought, a perspective… And an idea can always be changed. It can always be replaced by another idea.

So, let’s consider that “extremist”…

What if I choose to see him as a fellow human being, a brother, who has chosen terribly, whose life journey has led him to such desperation and hopelessness that the only solution he saw was this terrible act?

Would that influence what I say and how I act? I believe it would…

And what if I believe that there is nothing random in this Universe? That it is, in fact, a Loving Universe? That Love is the only Truth, and what moves all things? What if I believe that this person is a spiritual being having a physical experience, as I am, as you are, as we all are? How do I know how his actions affect his soul journey, the highest within him? Who am I to judge that? How do I know the sacred agreements involved with others? How do I know what their soul journeys are all about? What they have agreed to do? I have no idea… but again, this is all based on my belief that there is nothing random in this Universe, and only Love exists.

If I didn’t believe this, I couldn’t possibly make sense of this world.

And because I believe that the outer world is a projection of my inner world, that what I see “out there” is showing me what is happening “in here” (in the inner universe of my mind, my heart, my beliefs, my memories)…then I must also look within me to whatever has brought this event into MY awareness. If I’m aware of it, then it’s my task to take responsibility for whatever my part in it is – conscious or, more likely, unconscious.

How could I possibly contribute to the creation of a terrorist or extremist?

By holding on to any belief that violence is justified:

That the means justify the ends. That there is a “just” cause. That sometimes the only way forward is through violence, even the threat of violence. That I have a right to take out my anger, frustration, hurt and helplessness on another. That violence is the only way I can be seen or heard, my cause taken seriously. That my violent thoughts towards another have no effect, if I don’t act on them.

With ALL of these beliefs do I contribute to the “extremist”. And whenever I see their actions, it just confirms what I already believe anyways.

And so in this cycle I remain. Until I am ready to stop it at its root. Within me. How?

I take every thought of violence and attack; every judgment and label; every emotion; every act I may have taken (known or unknown)… and I bring them in offering to the altar of Love. To the place where all is forgiven. Where I can lay down my shame, my pain, my guilt. Where all the errors in my thinking and perceptions can be corrected. Where my heart can be healed. Where I can be transformed, by Love. Where I can finally be at peace.

And in that peace, I can see more clearly. Understand in new ways. Look upon “the other” as my brother. See the light and awakening arising in him, in the same way that it is in me. See him changing in every moment, as I have, in every moment becoming more and more filled with wisdom, with light…and acting in consequence.

But I can only see that in another if I am able to see that in myself first.

Could this be the meaning of the teaching by Jesus: “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”

I do this work for every person I’m tempted to label and judge. And I stubbornly hold on to my vision, no matter what others choose to say or do.

There’s also a lot RIGHT with this world. There are so many people working from a consciousness of love, bringing that into the world, building the world we want to live in. It is happening now, and gaining momentum. That’s why all that was hidden needs to come to light. So that we can see it, and liberate it. We’re ready for it.

Hugs, my friend. Just keep on keeping on!

Love, always, 🙏💖

George Floyd, Coronavirus and the Breath

Mony Dojeiji

As I look out on the world, I can’t help but reflect that the largest triggering events of these past months – coronavirus and George Floyd – have to do with the breath.

We can live without food or water for short periods of time (fasting). Some claim to live for years purely from the energy found in sunlight and all living things (the ancient practice of breatharianism or inedia).

But we cannot live without the breath.

It is our life force: our first act at birth, and our final act at death.

Many teachings and stories of creation make reference to the idea that we were breathed into being, that we were animated by the breath of God, given life as a demonstration of the most precious gift a God Love could offer its beloved child. So accustomed are we to this gift that we barely recognize it… until it is lacking in us.

Since I believe that the outer world is nothing more than a projection of my inner world, and I see that there are conditions that are literally taking our breath away, I have to ask myself:

What is happening WITHIN ME that is showing up as the inability to breathe?

What am I doing to suppress and oppress my own life force? To cut off my own breath?

I appreciate this is a hard pivot for many reading this, to look at myself as the SOURCE of what I am seeing in my world; but I believe the liberation and freedom we are seeking in the outer world must begin by looking at what’s keeping it covered in our inner world.

So how am I covering my own life force? How am I cutting off my own supply of oxygen, of vital nourishment? How am I suppressing the flow of all that gives life, joy, fulfillment, meaning, communion?

Every judgment, every criticism, every ounce of hatred that I hurl at another…cuts off my life force, which sees only love in another.

Every thought, every idea, every belief that I stridently defend that my gender, race, economic status, social status entitles me to certain privileges…. suppresses my life force, which sees all life as blessed.

Every decision that I make that looks after my needs and “rights” at the expense of everyone else’s… is an attack on my life force, which sees all life as equal.

Every time I neglect my God-given talents and enslave myself to a job that kills my spirit but gives me “security”… chokes my life force, because our spirits are inherently free.

Every time I clutch my purse a little tighter or cross the street when I see someone who looks different from me or move to another seat on the bus… is a tightening on the flow of my life force, which wants to close the gaps among brothers.

Every time I stop listening to my heart and start following my fears down their interminable rabbit holes…I squash my life force, which seeks only to express love.

Every time I tighten my iron grip on control and build walls around my heart, I choke the most powerful aspect of my life force and the purpose of life: to be one with my Creator, to surrender all, and simply rest in a love and forgiveness that restores all.

In all these ways, and more, do we cut off the vital flow of our life force.

So heavy and persistent and insidious are these attacks on our life force, is it any wonder that they show up in our outer world the way that they do?

As we slowly kill our spirits inwardly, we see the effects outwardly, playing out like a movie on the screen of our lives our deepest anguish and unbridled fury at our self-imposed enslavement.

Of course we can’t breathe!

We are trying to convince ourselves of a story of existence that we’ve been told that our souls simply know isn’t true:

That somehow we are separate from one another and, of course, separate from our Creator.

And with that story, we choke our life force.

Today it’s coronavirus and George Floyd. Tomorrow, it will be another pandemic or tragedy. But all of it nothing more than the playing out of a story so deeply buried in our subconscious that we are barely even aware of it.

That’s why the work of transformation is inner first.

That’s why this moment is so incredibly sacred. It is the time of our personal liberation.

We are shedding all that blinds us to who we truly are:

Brothers and sisters of one God, equal in its eyes, free, here to love, to unleash our glory and share our brilliance with the world.

We are also one with that God Love. It’s is impossible to be separate from God. Why?

Because every time we breathe, we are taking in God. We are taking in life, the precious gift bestowed by a loving Parent upon its beloved child.

In every breath is our rebirth.

Let us breathe in together, my friends, and let this breath – born anew in every instant – be the reminder of the truth of who we are.

Let our life force be nourished by this truth.

Love, always 🙏💖
Mony

A Meditation for the Mind

As talk of mental health swirls around these days, I offer a meditation that I hope serves you in your journeys towards wholeness of mind, body, heart and spirit.

I shared it last year, but have slightly modified it. If there’s interest, I’ll record it and share it, but I encourage you to record it for yourself...for your personal use, of course. 😊

With love, 🙏💞

"You come seeking clarity of mind, when in reality what is troubled is the heart.

Your beautiful mind will always seek to make sense of deep truths. And well it should. But know this:

Truth is captured in the heart first. Understood in the heart first.

Your mind then begins to interpret and give meaning to this Truth.

My invitation to you now is to drop your attention to your heart.

As you so do, imagine your mind coming along for the ride.

Imagine your thoughts, your ideas, your concepts – all that you believe about who you are – dropping into your heart. Let them rest there.

Now look to your body. Where do you feel sadness? Where do you feel anxiety, fear, worry, loneliness? Place your attention there. Imagine them all moving to your heart.

Why? Because the Highest Intelligence resides in your heart; the answers to all your questions, the peace you long for, the shelter from your emotional and mental storms… all are to be found in your heart.

Let your heart be the refuge for all your pain and suffering.

Breathe. Deeply. Fully.

On the breath, we infuse life to sustain you, love to nourish you, light to heal you.

Let your exhale be the confirmation that you have received life, love, light.

Keep breathing into your heart. Keep imagining your thoughts and your sorrows flowing like a river into a pool of infinite, ever-expanding light within you.

In this pool of light that continues to expand with every breath, all is held. All is forgiven. All is made right. All is transformed into wisdom and understanding, which you will now take as nourishment for your life journey ahead.

With every breath, the light in your heart expands, taking in even more thoughts and feelings. It’s a super-highway conducting (attracting, calling) the pain and less-than thinking unto itself, transforming it into wisdom, transforming it into more light. You can’t help but grow in light with every breath that you take.

Do this for yourself. Breathe your thoughts and feelings into your heart. Over and again.

Do this for another. Breathe the light for those who at this moment can’t do it for themselves. Imagine it growing inside their hearts in the same manner it has grown in yours. Imagine the super-highway of light conducting all the sorrows and less-than thoughts into this magnificent pool of light.

And while your mind still clamours for clarity, we say to you that the journey from mind-fulness to heart-fulness is the greatest journey you will ever undertake.

Your mind, we repeat, can only interpret what the heart knows as truth.

As you expand your heart, you attune to Higher Truth and capture it in your heart.

As your heart expands and settles into this delicious feeling of Being, Love naturally expands to your mind.

Your mind softens. All un-truth dissolve in the presence of Love.
In this softened, pliable state, your mind is now able to interpret the heart’s knowing.

In this exalted state, your mind remains:

A servant of the heart. a beloved collaborator in your soul’s journey into ever-greater states of expansion, leading you to the only Home and only Truth:

God Love.

May these words bring you peace. We hold you in the warmest of embraces.”

Healer, Heal Thyself

Mony Dojeiji reflection on healing

If there is nothing out there, then who is out there to heal?

I have pondered this question often, and have hesitated sharing my reflections because I have friends and family who are healers in all fields – medical, psychological, spiritual – and it is terrain that I respect and honour.

When I began my journey of awakening, I read everything related to healing. I was studying to go to medical school, even though it wasn’t really my passion or calling. But I had an interest in the human body, which led me to exploring what healing and wholeness means beyond the domain of the physical body.

As I understood that we are essentially energy, I began working with energy, directing it through me into my hands to whoever requested it. I was always clear, however, that I was merely the conduit and that the Energy (which I understood to be Love) knew exactly what it needed to do. My only role was to allow it to flow, as openly and purely as possible, unobstructed by my expectations and ideas about healing.

But as my own spiritual practice deepened, and as I began to understand that what I was seeing in my world was a PROJECTION of my inner world onto the screen of my life, I began to ask that difficult question:

If I’m the source of what’s in my experience, then what is this person with illness (cancer, diabetes, disorders, trauma, etc.) doing in my life?

Where is this projection coming from? And why?

To look within ME as the SOURCE of the “sick people” in my life shook me to the core and was a radical shift in my thinking because it was suggesting that:

The person in my life with cancer? I put them there.

The person with severe anxiety and trauma? I put them there.

The person who only spoke of illness and disease? I put them there.

It felt ridiculous to even consider that I would be putting these people in my life, in my experience. Why would I do that? What possible motive could I have?

To acknowledge, let alone accept and take 100% responsibility for this, has been a journey all its own!

Every so slowly, however, I began to unravel their purpose – their loving purpose – and the incredible gift these individuals were offering me, simply by showing up in my life.

They are the agents through which I am able to see and free the pain inside me.

And in liberating myself, I liberate them.

The deeply-rooted traumas, beliefs, programs, memories that I have around health and wholeness and WHO I AM are buried in my subconscious – way beyond the reach of my everyday mind.

When I feel afraid, impatient, dismissive, judgmental, distant, withholding, filled with tragedy – the range of emotions that show up when I’m with those individuals – that’s my clue that these subconscious programs are knocking on the door of my heart and asking to be freed. To be whole. To be returned to Love.

These individuals have taken on the loving task of showing me all the blockages to wholeness that exist within me, so that I may love them (the blockages) free.

And there is nothing in this Universe that I can Love free that isn’t freed everywhere.

Because we are all connected. We are all One.

Is there anything more loving that I can do to honour the precious gift of their presence - their True Self - than to do the inner work of healing the trauma at its source, which is within me?

That, to me, is how Love – and healing – works.

It’s a big task, for it requires me to be constantly in the present moment, aware of – and completely accepting of – whoever shows up in my experience.

If I see news about someone with cancer or any other illness, I am already clearing within me.

If I meet someone who tells me of their difficulties (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), I’m clearing.

When someone comes to see me for a personal session, I’m clearing before I even see them.

I’m clearing within ME (in my subconscious mind) whatever has brought them into my experience, whatever binds us in less-than-wholeness. I do this work in the silence of my heart, and in connection with Spirit.

When I am with this person – if I need to be with them at all – I am fully present. I know my spaces are filled with Love. And that the energies that need to come through me at the moment – be they in words or in stillness – are Perfect.

That's the only healing work I do today. There is nothing out there.

Can you imagine what would happen if we all did this within ourselves for the “sick” people in our lives? If all healers did this inner work before even seeing a patient? Would the patients even still be sick?

So many questions to ponder… and revelations to be made on this journey.

Love, always. 🙏💞

UN-planning my Life

"Voyager", an Art of the Spirit original by Alberto Agraso

The greatest events of my life have unfolded with no planning on my part.

They’ve required my active participation, that’s for sure; but they’ve never been the consequence of any plans, goals, strategies, visualizations or even intentions.

There, I’ve said it! I’m an MBA who doesn’t strategize and plan. :-D

The most meaningful events in my life have happened because of the most difficult decision I’ve ever made:

Surrendering control. To Spirit.

This wasn’t an overnight process, and I was not a willing participant… at first.

I always had goals, personal and professional. It was how I lived my life. I moulded it to fit whatever ideas I had at the time of success and happiness.

All that changed with pilgrimage. The more I walked, the more I felt as if the entire Universe was screaming at me,

“Let go. Let me break down the hard lines in your thinking. Let me soften the black and white of your thoughts into greys that you can confidently traverse. Let me show you another way.”

My response was, “NO THANK YOU. I like my mind just the way it is!” LOL

But the experiences of that journey made me question every idea, every concept, even the very definition of what thought and mind are. Of who and what I am.

We all know that with enough focus and attention, the mind can achieve whatever goals it sets for itself. It’s a remarkable tool for that. But there’s a bigger question:

At whose service is this mind?

At the service of the whims of a self that always looks outwards for its satisfaction and sense of worth? Or,

At the service of the Highest Mind, the Mind of God?

This has been my journey these years after pilgrimage. To honour Spirit. Have it inspire thoughts that I alone cannot conceive. Open a heart often too fearful to walk in the unknown. Trust the inner light it’s growing in me to safely show me the way.

My mind still resists this process and insists on the futility of this venture: how will you live without plans, without goals? Where will your security come from? What about your child? At least think of her future! LOL

I’ve been bringing my mind to my heart. Giving it a seat at the table. And making it comfortable there.

A mind inspired by Love, at the service of Spirit, is invulnerable and a conduit for ideas that truly uplift the world.

How could they not?

This is a state of BEING that I cultivate. The breathing, the yoga, the walking, the meditation… they are the tools that keep me present. Aware. At peace. One.

Even as I write this, connections are happening that I never could have imagined. Ideas are bursting forth. New projects are coming my way.

Not by planning. But by UN-planning. And making room for Spirit to lead.

Step by step, my friends. Always further. Always higher.

Ultreia e suseia!

A Conversation with Death

"Befriending the Unknown" original illustration by Alberto Agraso

These last few weeks, the theme of death has been present in my life.

At Christmas, I received the memoir of Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, a pioneer in shifting how we think about death and the dying. A day earlier, I had a conversation with a good friend about this same topic and her interest in becoming a death doula.

Two friends also died on the same day, Dec. 28. Both had their services and celebrations of life on the same day.

Sylvana is playing music from her latest favourite musical: Beetlejuice!

It’s a curious thing to be speaking of death at a time that celebrates a great birth.

My first thought was: am I dying? Is this my time? Is the Universe trying to prepare me? I also happened to be watching The Good Place at the time, so ideas around what it means to live a good life were also dominant.

It was so tempting to give in to the fear that the mere mention of the word evokes; but instead, I decided to speak with Death and ask her what she wanted to say to me. She is, after all, a messenger, and I wanted to hear her message.

“Every moment, you are dying. The very cells of your body are continuously dying and being replaced at the rate of millions of per second. MILLIONS of new cells every second! It’s a cause for joy, for celebration. You don’t fear this process. You don’t question it.

In truth, you are not dying but being continually reborn and regenerated, in every instant. As are your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions… in every instant, all that you are is being reborn.

And what drives this process of regeneration, of continual rebirth?

Love.

It is Love that wishes to fully inhabit your body. To be home in you, here and now. To express its glory through you.

It is also Love that knows when it is time to return Home.

And I, Death, respect the wishes of Love and fulfill my part so that Love may continue its journey, freed from this physical realm that it chose to experience for a while as you.

So that it may finally find Home.

It always does.

Whether inside the beating heart of a beloved, or the Infinite Heart of our Father-Mother God, Love remains alive, a vital force in the Universe, going on adventure after adventure, on a journey that has no end.

For the sole/soul purpose of being Love. Being at home in Love.

You will finally understand that Death is Love too. We are One.”

~Mony 🙏💖

Explaining the Art Exhibit "31 Illustrated Visions from Beyond the Veil"

Alberto Agraso - Beyond the Veil Exhibit

I have spent the past week immersed in the mind of my husband artist and illustrator Alberto Agraso LOL translating his explanations of each of the 31 illustrations of his art exhibit.
Every year, for the 31 days of October, illustrators from around the world participate in a daily challenge called "#inktober", where each artist offers their visual representation of the assigned word of the day.
For Alberto, the word begins the process of opening up to visions and interpretations that expand the word's meaning and allow a perspective grounded in Spirit to come through his pencil into form.
He channels messages from the Divine, and expresses them in illustrated form using only ink and paper. This is his Art of the Spirit, and what he is sharing in his art exhibit called:
"31 Illustrated Visions from Beyond the Veil"
Many of the images made me chuckle. All of them made me reflect, and appreciate more fully what a truly intuitive process this is.
I especially liked Day 16 "Purity", AFTER he explained it! LOL I had no idea what he was trying to say at first; and I continue to watch it over and again to pick up the many layers of messages on leading with the heart and the mind. Fascinating!
Day 18 "Annoyingly Happy" made me laugh! The title says it all...
Day 28 "Holographic Whale" was just WOW! How in the world did he capture an image that so powerfully shows moving from one state of consciousness to another?
And so many more!
As I stated before, these aren't just beautiful pieces of art from a talented artist;
They are channeled messages, visions from the Divine, that are in the form of an illustration.
I hope you'll check them out. I'd love to hear which ones you enjoyed. The Exhibit is up until Dec. 15 at Camellia Tea House (849 Nicholson Ave., Ottawa).
All the original pieces are also available for sale. Please email aagrasog (at) hotmail (dot) com for pricing and shipping details.

A Mystical Frog Pose Moment

I have been a regular practitioner of #yoga for over 25 years. What started out as a complement to my aerobics classes has, over the years, transformed into its own practice of deep breathing that I use off the mat, and of not only physical expansion and flexibility, but emotional, mental and spiritual expansion as well.

The rigid parts have softened. The inflexible ones have yielded. And with each deepening breath, I feel as if I’m bringing renewed Life – Spirit – into the very core of my being.

I practice alone, at home, following a yoga channel I like. There are certain poses that I find challenging, especially those around the hips and low back. Frog Pose is one of them.

I had just finished some deep stretching, and prepared to move into that pose. I positioned my knees and my feet, and dropped my chest to a level that felt comfortable. Usually, it’s not very low, and my ankles don’t reach the ground.

As my breath deepened that day, I felt my hips open up, and my chest drop. My ankles reached the floor. I was momentarily surprised, and so happy at what I thought was progress in my practice. My breath began to deepen, naturally. And as I breathed in appreciation and gratitude for this unexpected opening, I began to cry.

The cries became uncontrollable sobs that wracked my entire body, and caused even more release; which made me sob even harder! LOL

I had no idea what I was crying about, but the tears continued even as I moved on to the final rest pose, where they eventually subsided.

In that place of stillness and calm, I spoke with my heart.

I understood that the iron cage of hardness that I had placed around my core, my Power centre, had opened. I don’t know why, but I had kept that Power firmly locked, fearing that I would either misuse it or wield it without wisdom or compassion.

“It’s not yours to use,” I felt whispered. “It’s being called by the Heart, by Love, by God in you… to arise. It has a role to play, and its time has come. Yours is to allow it to rise to its fullness, so that God Love in the Heart may use it.

God knows how to use this Power as a force for good. Not you.

It is Love that calls this Power forth. Love is the key that liberates the power of creation that lies in your core. It knows how to use it. You just keep your focus on expanding Love in your Heart.

Power is an important aspect of your Being, and is now ready to be integrated in service to the Divine. It is a blessed thing.”

When I finally stood, I felt both solid on the earth and light as a feather, as if my whole body was being lifted. Tingling went down to my toes. I’ve never felt tingling in my toes! LOL I felt physically taller, and marveled at how I was now eye-level with some of the paintings hanging on the wall.

The sensation lasted for hours, and eventually subsided. The opening in my hips, however, has remained.

I have reflected often on this experience, and its teaching. I have read a great deal on kundalini energy and chakras. What I have come to appreciate is that, yes, we can use techniques to awaken different centres in the body; but these centres are sacred. They have a holy purpose. And their purpose is fully unlocked and used to their full potential when Love is entrenched in the Heart.

Love calls upon each centre to awaken – each in its due course and time – in the way that best serves the soul’s spiritual journey. How that happens for each of us is a grand mystery.

I’m not always the most patient of people. I want my spiritual awakening now, please! I want all my chakras activated now, and my transcendental experiences now!

But I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom of the Heart. To allow, rather than to force. To flow, rather than control. To expand Love, with all its unknowns and mysteries, in my life.

May this Love guide you in your journeys. <3

The World needs more HEART-fullness

The world needs more heart-fullness.

Hearts bursting with love, compassion, brotherhood;

Which elevate the mind to its fullness;

Lead it to its sacred destination:

The Mind of God.

Where only inspiration exists;

All-possibility;

The one most perfect for you at this moment;

To receive;

Give thanks for;

And put into action.

In service to the world.

Let Love raise your every thought to its highest expression. 🙏💝
