Does our Outer Reality always reflect our Inner Mind?

By Leave a Comment

Every single person has a particular specialty or job that they are here to perform. Like every single cell in a living organism has it's own specific task, we also have a particular role to play. (Notice the word “role” here) This is not something we have to find … it finds (and does) us!

Our roles come out of the story we are born into and take on … this is how we come to believe a particular story about ourselves and the world we live in.

There is no right or wrong role … it is all part of the story we have adopted and are invested in playing out (not that we are conscious of it).

And yes. the unwavering principle is that the external always reflects the internal story …. (“As Above – So Below”)

This is as true for Gandhi, for instance as it is for you and me.

It is easy to assume that Gandhi was at peace within his own mind … but do we know that absolutely?

When I read about Gandhi, I think of an impassioned man who was very much in resistance to the way things were. He was placed in a position where that resistance could be played out and his daily meditation was to meet that resistance without violence. Part of what he may have come to do was to model the possibility of meeting resistance with surrender.

That makes sense in my mind anyway as a reason why he came.

I'm not sure his life reflects total inner peace however. And I'm not judging that. I'm not saying his life should have been any different. Gandhi obviously did not come to demonstrate inner peace. He came to demonstrate to the collective mind another way of dealing with bondage (inner AND outer) through non-violence (ahimsa).

In my opinion, his is a path that reflects great internal stress. His outer world reflected his inner struggle with himself and his issues with the Indian caste system. He was very caught up in a story about not being free. His actions suggest that he believed strongly that self deprivation works – and so it did for him. (Remember he fasted for weeks at a time to force a political move, often with great success).

Remember it is ALL story. His world reflected to him, in the same way our world reflects to us) his belief that violence to himself (through self deprivation and starvation) would promote outer peace. His very death (shot in the heart on his way to meditation) reflected that belief. He believed in martyrdom and modeled it. He believed and verified his beliefs like each and every one of us do.

He left in the way that epitomized his own beliefs (“I will suffer and die for peace”) He came and did the work he was assigned. When he was done, he left … as will we each and every one.

I hope this is helpful.

Life is Instructional By Design ….

By Leave a Comment

The challenge for many of us comes when we are asked to trust the process that is unfolding through us … The only way I’ve found to do that is through a daily practice of intention and alignment with Source. That daily connection promotes a confidence that makes surrender to Source possible.

I’ve learned to trust that every life moment is instructional by design. We are always being shown something … whether it's our next step or that which is blocking our path Home. We commit to the practice of letting-go of our need to judge what happens as good or bad – we learn to look for the messages contained in every life event instead.

This attitude in seeing life is one that guarantees a life full of simple, everyday miracles!
Everything is wondrous because we understand that life is always happening FOR us … we do not see ourselves (or others) as victims who are being done to by life … who life happens “to” or “at” …. Instead, we are in the midst of a constant unfolding revelation. We are the revelation that is being disclosed… We are constantly being revealed (to ourselves) through the people and events we encounter everyday.

Deciding Future Is Not Our Purpose

By Leave a Comment

I am free as well from feeling guilty, lost or behind in “finding my purpose”…. There is no effort to try to “make my life into something special”, because I know what my purpose is … it’s quite simply … to be doing whatever Source is doing through me right now.

That’s it. That’s as much as I need to know. There’s nothing I need to go get prepared for … unless I find myself prompted to do something like that ….

If I do get involved in training or schooling of some kind, I don’t have to be guaranteed a certain outcome (or else I’ve “failed” :(). I don’t have to decide where it’s all going nor do I need to know what I will do with it someday…. (Of course, to plan and visualize is a positive, fun way to follow the Inner Prompting :))

Deciding future is not my purpose – aligning with a higher frequency, and allowing It to prompt and guide me, is.

On Being A Vessel …

By Leave a Comment

We are made to be filled and moved by this Life Force that we call Source. We are each uniquely designed … shaped really, (much like a potter throws a pot for a specific function …) for the performance of some distinct purpose.

Yes, I am saying that we are shaped for an individual and unique purpose. But I am NOT implying that we have to go out and find what that purpose is (and get it all “figured out” :)) … no more than a milk pitcher has to go out and find its milk source! Nor does that vessel need to decide when and where to pour its contents … it will be picked up and poured from according to the needs and desires of its master.

We are like that milk jug. Our job is to contain that which flows into us from above and leave the how, when and where of Its distribution to the Master that is doing the pouring.

What a wonderful realization! To know that my duty is only in being the best container I can be! Even I can do that! 🙂

Working in the Fields

By Leave a Comment

As we move towards the end of the year we may find ourselves thinking about our calling. It's a time when stress-creating stories about the need to know what our service is supposed to be come up…. Instead of sugar plums, visions of the “Great Success” we were supposed to be and never did, dance in our heads …. Feelings of inadequacy and failure accompany these stories.

I like to think of myself as a field laborer….

If someone were to ask me right now what I do in the world … I might say ….
“I work in the fields.”
“What fields?”
“The fields for cultivating consciousness.”

The way I see it, we are each designed to carry out some “labor” for the Cause of Consciousness.
I like to think that I work in, what could be called, the “Thought Repair Shop” (sort of like an auto repair shop, but for the ego mind)
People come to me with “broken thinking” and I help them find realignment.

When we ascribe belief to painful thoughts we find ourselves suffering from a breakdown of peace. Helping those who seek my services to attune to a Higher Frequency by clearing their belief in thoughts that create pain is my job.

It is not an obligation or a duty but rather my service or “calling”. I was “made” for the job. This doesn't make me “Somebody Special” … it's just the particular aspect of the Work for which I've been made to do. I don't wish for something more glamorous or to be known as someone “important” … I just give the task at hand my whole hearted attention and take pleasure in “doing a good job”.

You too were designed for a job “in the fields” – and there's a good chance you are already doing it – whether you know it or not.

Thoughts like, “I don't know why I'm here… I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing … or “I've failed my earth mission” are ideas that create a low frequency that actually attracts proof that what you're believing is true. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There is no faster route to settling into your calling than to trust that what you're doing right now is part of it. Whether you're a stay-at-home-mom or working as a parking lot attendant; a CEO of a big corporation or a public school teacher, find joy in what you are doing NOW. That is how you bring yourself into right alignment with your Service. Your “job” is to show up right now in your moment to moment life. Give full attention to what you are doing right now. This is your life mission. Your life service is not something you have to “find” or “go after” – it is waiting for you to relax into “allowing it”.

Your immediate assignment is to recognize that you are where you are because it's PART of your path not because you are deviating from it. Find a way to accept where you are and what you are doing now. This is your work. We cannot get OFF the path to being ourselves. To believe that you are wandering aimlessly or stuck will simply keep you feeling those feelings.

Without judgment of where you are, you are better able to see how you are already on the Way to being what you came to be. Your present day to day life is part of the preparation. Participate fully in the experiences and lessons that your present life situation brings, whatever they are. That is your job.

“My path is unfolding through my daily doings” is an example of a higher frequency thought that aligns you with your work. Thoughts like this help you to “up” your frequency and manifest your calling.

Go about your day with confidence in Reality as being the way it should be right now. Find joy in the way things are and you will find all the evidence you need that you are on your path and doing what you came to do.

Blessings, Lynne
