I had a great teacher speak these words.
Today has been a heartwarmingly glorious day in many ways; a text from my mom, phone call from my dad, sunshine after grayness of sky, and time to clean house. I have felt at peace.
As the day progressed, I knew an event someone promised was turning to sand; this has happened before.
While driving, I listened to Oprah’s podcast of Gary Zukav’s “The Seat of the Soul.” In it, she shares her most meaningful takeaways from the book, one being intention.
What I intend comes back to me. Fulfills itself as effect.
When someone wishes harm on my soul as punishment, I have a choice to make: How do I want to respond? For, what action I take will return as the same.
To deny my feelings only represses them; that is not healthy, nor is enacting them. I allow myself the honesty to admit how I feel and sit with the discomfort.
Tonight, as I meditated — sat in silence — I opened my eyes. (I had kept the room intentionally dark.) What I saw astonished me: two lights in that room almost mimicking each other. Reflecting back to themselves. One light in almost exact alignment with the other; one above, one below.
This is a room I have meditated in before, though usually as light awakens day. I would not have seen this the same way had it been “as before.”
Some things can only be seen in the dark.
Depth has a different penetration at night.
When the only light guiding my way is an appearance of illumination, I must ask myself whether it can be trusted.
Our soul’s true purpose will be found in photolocation.
