In love through unification

[shamandancer]

I have started to realize part of what I am here to do on this earth is to share about what worked for me to get through what I've been through. Everybody has a story and has overcome the challenges that we have created for ourselves or at least put ourselves in the position to "realize". I am the same. I do take responsibility for my life, and I do believe in a better way.

My obstacles included a rebellion of such intensity that I nearly lost my family, my friends, and my life. This rebellion started in early childhood and lasted until my very early twenties. I give thanks for this rebellion. I feel I have earned my freedom.

Another major road block was drug/alcohol abuse. This was a toughie. I got addicted to tobacco at a fairly early age. This was really hard on my body. As a typical college kid, I drank too much. This was really on the body also. I even abused substances which greatly contributed to the next major challenge. I do, although, give thanks for my every drug/alcohol experience. I have earned my clarity.

And the final major "negative" challenge of my life so far is mental illness. I am diagnosed bi-polar and even considered disabled due to my illness. Now my illness was far worse than your average bi-polar. I became fully psychotic on multiple occasions. I am blessed to have a spiritual understanding of illness, especially my own. I am thankful for my illness because it has taught me to delve into the underlying nature of things. It has taught me how to be strong. It has taught me to be compassionate ... to put the All above all else.

I am thankful for these challenges .... for these "resistances" to the perfect flow of Spirit because they have brought lessons. One of my favorite quotes is by one of my favorite spiritual teachers, Almine Barton. Almine says "Everything is either a gift or a lesson and ultimately, they are the same." I just love it! These lessons, these gifts have brought me healing ... they have brought me growth.

Because of every experience, I am me. I love me and I love the me I am growing into. I love the fact that I am a tiny piece of the All ... of the One Being that is the Goddess. At the same time I hold, hologrammatically, all the information contained within Her Being. I have access to every piece of experience and knowledge out there. I am thankful for the choices that have shaped me. I am thankful to be the individual that I am.

I don't want to sit here and write a big sob story about how hard my life has been. To me, it has been tough; I won't lie. It's been amazing! In my opinion, I've grown as much as is humanly possible for me to have grown in my 27 years. I feel I have really given my all. Although, I will be the first to tell you evil has expressed through my being. I am responsible for the expression of fear, hate, anger, jealousy, rage, etc ... but I have no regrets and I am not ashamed. I know that for me, I was asked by the All to experience "the fall." I was summoned to the knowledge of what we are not. I was awakened by the experience of that which is untrue. I am glad for my mission and I am glad to be home. I am still growing, and always will be. As I move forward, I shed more and more of that which no longer serves the All. I resolve my karma as I learn what there is to know from everything I see and Create.

I am a channel. We all are. We are here in 3d to express our full spectrum selves. We are here to express the ultimate and only true Self. One of my most recent insights is that it must be equal; our movement as a Higher Self into our 3d expression as well as our 3d expression's movement into our Higher Self.

Courage. Honesty. Love. Light. Wisdom. Truth.Compassion. Acceptance. Fighting for perception. Openness.

These are great words and they mean more to me than can be explained using such a thing as language from my tongue.

But what I get to talk about here in this life ... what I know about .... is UNIFICATION.

U N I F I C A T I O N

Unification is about alignment. It is about surrender. To become unified is to let go. To be our true unified selves, we must let go of all resistance to the perfect underlying flow and expansion of Creation.

All the self help books say the same thing: "What you are searching for is within you." This is absolutely true. But what are we searching for? What is within us? Well everything! As stated before, hologrammaitically everything. And what I mean by hologrammatically is that if you take a hologram of an eagle right ... and you cut off the corner of the wing ... you can look at the small piece containing the wing and see the whole eagle! This to me is fascinating and has as major of implications as one truth can hold! So the point is that within us is the same thing that is within everything. It is the All ... it is Peace .. it is the Void, the Tao, the Holy Spirit, Great Spirit, God, the Light, the Source the ONE. We all have this in common. We are this one.

Unification. Alignment. The coming together of perspective. Evolution. Expansion. CREATION.

An analogy; we are a river ... flowing with all the strength and beauty in the world. In order to be a "healthy" river, we must surrender to the fact that we are a river. Through this realization, we let go. We are the flow, the perfection, the divinity. As such, we are called to carve our path in the earth. We are responsible for our every drop, our every noise and our every gift. As we carve our path, we navigate things like damns, sharp curves, waterfalls, etc. We surrender to conscious Creation.

Through the unification of our fragmented beings, we align ourselves with the beat of the universe ... the beat of healing ... the beat of the eternal betterment of the All. Here we are in bliss. Here we are one with all. We understand the affect of our every thought. We see the light of our hearts ripple out into reality. We own it.

So how do we 'unify our fragmented beings'? Well I'm sure its different for everyone but for me, I simply made a choice to surrender. I surrendered to the microcosmic truth of who I am. But specifically, I choose to become one. One part of life ... one expression of life ... one Body/Mind/Soul operating as one life-giving light.

I believe it is that simple. It is as simple as making a choice, setting our intentions, and believing in ourselves.

After we have done this, done what we can do. We must simply get out of the way and let the Great Mother express through us. Creation occurs as we set the intentions, create the space, and surrender to Life's divine manifestation of our Collective Will.

As beings "living in oneness," we are "lit up". We are able to shift our awareness into our heart centers. It is here we are able to be a conscious part of the Creation of a more better collective experience. We, as heart centered participators, become part of the solution. We become a conscious creator of our evolving Universe.

As such, we are free. Free from resistance and from illness and from pain so that we may truly Be ... so that we may be open to the flow of LOVE.
