I was raised in a religious environment. I was even a Lay Preacher. The more challenges I went through in my Life, the more I knew that the God that religion was telling me about was way too small.
I knew a 'power' existed, I had physically felt it, heard its voice, seen its answers. But everything my Soul was acknowledging was far beyond the limits religion had placed on the idea of God.
One message was very clear - I am Perfection, you are Perfection, you are not in Terrestrial form to become Perfection, you are in this form to Remember your Perfection and vibrate that so others might Remember also!
When I see imbalance and disharmony in myself or others, I can now ask, what is the Fear creating that, what deceit, possibly based in a religious construct, is distorting my, or another's, Soul Truth?
The Universe, The Source of all Light, whatever label explains that unexplainable to yourself, exists as a Soul relationship with each person individually. Not to be defined, proven, tested as some corporate knowledge or entity but as ourself explaining ourself, to ourself. Of us individually understanding the me and we intrinsic in the Universal holograph of the part being the sum of the whole, & the whole the sum of more than its parts!
The victim/ rescuer relationship is a distortion of a quantum truth. I am my brothers keeper because he is me & I am him, one symbiont energy, but I am not responsible for him or his choices. I respect his right to Be, and to learn his lessons his own way. We are One but we are also Individual, not separate so much as independent.
Much the way when you light a Sparkler, all the individual sparks of light came from the one source, but are individual, and exist independently . They are all the Sparkler, but they are all individual light as well. How my brother exists, how I exist, is our own Soul choosing and responsibility. We may affect each other by our own actions but we are not responsible for the actions of each other. Only how we respond to those actions.
The saying is true - a foot cannot be a hand, the heart cannot be a head, all must be themselves for the body to function.
Against what religion teaches, we need to accept the choices and journeys of others without judgement & without the need to rescue or be rescued. We are not responsible for their choices & they do not need to be rescued from them. Their Soul is creating their journey towards their own Truth. We cannot know another's Truth, so how can we know how it is to be journeyed? 'Love others as you love yourself' is more often projected as LOVE OTHERS & the part about AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF is forgotten. The more we love ourselves, the more able we are to love others & to allow them their own lessons and journey
People often turn from religion, & in the process lose their faith, because religion had indoctrinated them into believing they are one and the same. They are not. Religion closes the heart mind & eyes to reason. Religion is mindlessness and blindness, it is obedience and following, but not faith. Faith opens our eyes to endless potentialities, it opens our mind to our Soul Intelligence, it teaches our heart that the love is within, unconditional and empowering. A person does not lose their faith. You have not lost your Faith, you can't. It is you. You may have forgotten at times but your Soul is Remembering. Feel that Knowledge and Wisdom surge through the totality of your Being, strengthening and empowering you. Your Soul is saying - I am here, I exist because I choose to, because I am meant to, because I have a place and a purpose. I Am & I Remember. Soul is and will continue to teach you the Truth of yourself, of your Worth. Fear, Hate, Anger, Unworthiness, responsibility for the journeys of others, expectations of their journeys ( eg we are family, we are suppose to love each other) are Deceits that cause unnecessary pain and hurt. Hear your Soul - speak your Truth out loud - I release myself from the negative energy of my past/present and claim the Soul Truth of my present/future. I Am and I Am worthy. The Universe, The Source of all Light hears me, because it is me and I am it. We are One, we are Simbiont, I Am Light, I am The Light to myself and the Universe.
Love yourself enough to not return to the destruction that is those who have hurt you. In loving yourself, love others enough not to continue to facilitate their own self destruction, by being hurt by their choices
My thoughts are with you through the Light. Peace and Blessings for the journey
