Path of Purity

It is 4:32 a.m., I have been awake for an hour and my thoughts have taken me to many different places.  I was listening to a youtube video where the speaker was discussing the difference between knowing and reacting to your intuition versus responding to fear.  In a book that I am reading now it is apparent there are many types of behaviors which are a response to our past feelings which caused fear.  What I have learned about myself is one of my strengths is my vulnerability to share my true self and my heart.  So that brings me to the real reason for writing today, I wanted to share about revealing one’s true self.

So many times, we find ourselves afraid to reveal our true selves and pouring out our hearts and uncovering who we really are.  We are afraid others may judge us without accepting who we are for the sake of knowing the real person behind the mask.  Sometimes, we too become timid, as not to open ourselves up for hurt.  However, when we allow ourselves to reveal the divinity within, then we are  finally able to travel a path of purity.  This path of purity is where we uncover our inhibitions and realize how remarkable we are and are able to self-actualize.

As you reflect upon your individual path of purity, ask yourself who you want to become and what do you feel.  Ask yourself, how you deserve to be loved, and what does it feel like.  Take a moment to ponder the power that lies within in your soul.  You are amazing!  Accept yourself as one of God’s most magnificent creations with the power to change the world. It is within you, I hope you know that!  Do you feel energized, whole, perfect, empowered without a thought of fear? Are you able to finally allow yourself to love and be loved as you have never loved before?  Do you now know who you want to become?  And while on the path, do you feel the presence of God in all places surrounding you?  Do you realize, once you discover this path, you will never have to leave it. The choice to live an empowered bold life is totally up to you. 

One of the most marvelous feelings while traveling the path is realizing life can always be lived this way.  We do not have to expose ourselves to the negatives of this world, but create our own universe of happiness, joy and contentment where we can experience true ecstasy.  We do not have to allow ourselves to be affected by the bad decisions of others, or their acceptance.  Rather, we can choose to accept ourselves for the magnificence that lies within our souls. 

Being true to ourselves also means we experience heart intelligence.  Heart intelligence is listening to the core of our being, to follow our heart rather than our minds.  Sometimes when we choose to be guided by our mind we miss out on the opportunities our heart is leading us to.  This leading within our hearts is based upon a solid feeling of purity and wholeness.  When we begin to trust our heart, we initiate a transformation of our lives from the inside out.  We are finally able to realize the purpose of our beinghood and release all the positive emotions of love we have so long desired for the outside world to see, feel and experience.  We are able to encounter everyone in our lives revealing our true authenticity.

My hope and prayer for you my friend is that you take your shoes off and be unafraid to walk down your own personal path of purity.  I want you to discover your true self and be fearless in revealing your heart to the world.

Who can you help?

Today, I picked up a hitchhiker thumbing his way to my home town.  Ironically, I was 50 miles from home and saw him standing in the rain.  He was wearing a camouflage jacket, had nothing with him and possessed an appearance of innocence.  Upon picking him up, I took note of his demeanor, where he placed his hands and studied his body language, as in this ‘ole world of ours nowadays you can never be too careful.  It was coincidence that he was heading my way, and obviously it was just me riding in my automobile, so there was no reason precluding me from picking him up.

We talked about politics, he mused about the weather, his job and the harshness he felt in his life. 
Of course, I listened and realized how blessed I am to be me.

Upon dropping him off at his destination which happened to be only a few blocks from my home, he quipped that he was not an angel, but perhaps if he was I should play the lottery today.

Well, for those of you who truly know me, most likely a lottery ticket will not be purchased this day, but I was happy to help someone who really needed me, if just to bum a ride.

I am not suggesting you pick up a hitchhiker, however, today there is someone who needs you.  Maybe you are needed to only just to pay a compliment, provide a hug or loan lunch money.  The world needs everyone of us and if God truly resides in our hearts, maybe we should show the world some of His love.

A Time to Think!

Back in May, I posted about small children being killed in another country in our world.  It appeared no one cared.  The hypocrisy of it all is every day in the United States, the land of the free, home of the brave we kill 4,000 innocent lives every day!  I do not care whether you are republican, democrat, libertarian, independent or for that matter without any affiliation to a political party, murder is murder.

Just because you cannot see who you are murdering, know who you are murdering, or have spoken to who you are murdering, does not make it right!

 I am a Christian, and maybe not a very good one, but nonetheless, I completely disagree with those who have no regard for life.    It is not a matter of how things happen, God’s commandment is Thou Shalt Not Kill!  Can it get in plainer than that? 

I just want you my reader to think, and that is the reason for my post today.  God is love, we are to be love as imitators of Him, and if so, we need to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves.

One final thought!  I  saw a bumper sticker of which I am paraprhasing: the Africans did not choose to be slaves; the Jews did not choose the holocaust; neither did the unborn babies choose to be aborted.

Just what do you stand for and whom?
