Activation of the Keepership

This is one of the latest codes that I drew. It has to do with the activation of my keepership, something that I'm still exploring. I believe my keepership has to do with being the keeper of the gates, gates through which people travel.

The search for love

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. It is not necessary to seek for what is true but it is necessary to seek for what is false. Every illusion is one of fear, whatever form it takes. And the attempt to escape from one illusion into another must fail. If you seek love outside yourself you can be certain that you perceive hatred within, and are afraid of it. Yet peace will never come from the illusion of love, but only from its reality. - A Course in Miracles

Persistence

I looooooove this one!

Do you think the most stunning, celebrated, and adept dancer in the entire world could become so by only ever dancing to the most brilliant, illuminating, and clever music in the world?
Or would they freak, hip-hop, and tango to every riff, beat, and la-bamba within earshot?
Yeah, the latter, even early on when no one paid them any attention and their little steps seemed so paltry compared to the glamorous waltz that moved in their heart.

Shall we dance?

Appreciation

I got this message the other day and thought it was very appropriate for what I'm going through right now. Very true, very true.....

Is it so important that those in your life fully appreciate how much you mean to them? Or can you get along just fine knowing it for yourself? Actually you may even send them right over the edge if you can truly accept their meager offerings.

The invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithlessand therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day,and if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Divine Happenings

What if, all the people in your life, every single one of them, even the pesky ones, asked to be there, so that your light might brighten their way?

Creating your own reality

True brilliance is not a function of understanding one's view of the world and finding order, logic, and spirituality in it. True brilliance is understanding that your view of order, logic, and spirituality is what created your world. And therefore being forever capable of changing everything. - TUT

Finding your teacher

Whosoever may torment you, harass you, confound you, or upset you, is a teacher.
Not because they're wise, but because you seek to become so.

The teacher and the student

I did an earlier post on Teachers of God where I posted a passage from A Course in Miracles. Please see below.

A teacher of God is anyone who chooses to be one. It does not matter who the teacher was before he heard the Call. He has become a savior by his answering. He has seen someone else as himself. He has therefore found his own salvation and the salvation of the world. In his rebirth is the world reborn. Each teaching-learning situation is maximal in the sense that each person involved will learn the most that he can from the other person at that time. Yet all who meet will someday meet again, for it is the destiny of all relationships to become holy. - A Course in Miracles

Now let me explain what the meaning of this is.....

Each person you interact with and everything that happens to you is a mirror, therefore everybody can be your best teacher! But the key is to recognize that and to learn from the lessons that each person and each experience hold for you. For example when you judge someone and you get upset because they behave a certain way....let's say they are lazy and can never take care of themselves. The minute you judge them, you are actually judging yourself. Then take a look at your life and observe your judgments. Why do you feel the need to judge the person for being lazy, probably because you have an issue with that in your own life. Most of the time that is the case.....or you have some sort of karmic issue with the "lazy" person. Either way, the key is to meditate on this and to see and observe what comes up, and just by recognizing the issue and by aknowledging it, it will either go away or you will be able to take action, as you have recognized the problem.

Let me tell you a personal story which happened to me a few months ago. I was interested in this person and I wanted to be with him. But he was unavailable. I pursued this person for months hoping that he would come around one day and say that he wanted to be with me. But that never happened. Of course I started wondering what meaning this had for me and how it was reflecting a part of me. But I simply couldn't work it out. Eventually he told me that he was still in love with his exgirlfriend, and only then it dawned on me, that this was a mirror reflection of my past relationships. I finally realised that I still had emotional ties with my ex boyfriends. It was very subtle. In my conscious mind I was very clear about cutting connections with my ex boyfriends, as I was the one who broke it off. But subconsciously I was still grieving over the loss of the relationship and all the dreams I had for a future together etc. It never occured to me that there were still ties there, as I didn't want to be with any of my ex boyfriends on a conscious level. But thanks to the mirror reflection I was able to aknowledge the remaining bond and the issues around it and free myself from the grief, the loss and the broken dreams I was still holding on to. I realised that the person I was interested in only came into my life to show me this and to help me move on in my life and to let go of the ties that were holding me back from being with someone who is actually compatible.

...and the meaning that each relationship becomes holy has to do with peace, balance and love...even self love, as the other person is your reflection. What you give to the other person, you give to yourself. Also, by the time you ascend you will probably have balanced most of your karma, meaning that there is peace within all your relationships. No grief, no guilt, no regrets, just pure love. Holy relationships.
