Because ancient wisdom belongs in modern times

I'm a spiritual teacher passionate about the inner journey to consciousness. And beautiful shoes. During my not-so-normal life, I ponder and reflect. A lot. I admit it's a slightly eccentric way to live, with potential to become crazy-making (it's wise not to underestimate the ability to drive oneself nuts). Writing helps me make sense the world and is my contribution to global (and personal) sanity ...

YOU are here. No justification or explanation required!

YOU are here. No justification or explanation required!

There are forces that would seek to dissuade you from your most important work this lifetime, to cultivate and make available your inner light.

Whether those forces manifest internally as self-doubt, procrastination, collapse into fear, or scattering of your focus that overwhelms and paralyzes you, or external in the guise of mirrors of judgment or simply through the issues of another, be it jealousy, lack of understanding or ridicule based on fear of your spirituality, as we become conscious of them, these forces too serve your Life’s work, giving you an opportunity to grow stronger through challenge, to seek out even deeper alliance with your spirit to nourish and shield you from those that would seek to diminish your light or have you be other than you are.

Your job is to learn to become so comfortable and accepting of your light, to develop such Trust in your own inner truth and your worth in the greater scheme of things, that you can journey from needing to justify or explain, to simply being who you are, and allowing those around you to respond or react as they choose to do so, for that is their journey.

You don’t need to apologize for who you are or justify your existence in any way. You are here. You are as you were always meant to be. Acceptance of this allows for an inner peace in a way that you may have never truly experienced before. Then you are as the Divine Child, exploring and growing through your own Life with an open heart and curious mind.

Many of you will know that spiritual truth can operate through paradox. The healing powerful rage can bring us gentle inner peace. The lies we hear from others about us can help us find our inner truth.

For some of us to be able to get to this space of acceptance within ourselves, that is so powerful in its gentleness (it seeks nothing, therefore can be denied nothing, it just is), there is a healing rage deep within. This rage sets us aflame with the ability to burn away that which has held us back from self-acceptance within.

Rage can be the psychic momentum we need to separate and gain some detachment from dynamics within our relationships that are based on compromise of the Self (believing we have to change who we are in essence) rather than compromises by the self (making choices that are mutually enhancing wherever possible in our relationships). When we begin to detach from old dynamics and affirm that we shall be how we are and that is all there is to it, we are in an empowered position to engage in sharing the Self with others, rather than attempting to mold the Self to fit in with others’ expectations or comfort.

To become aware of what this brings up for US our fears of losing love, of being alone, cast aside or rejected in a profound way and moving through those feelings (giving them a voice – a journal is great for this) gives us the freedom to allow Love to be present in our lives in an increasingly unconditional way, within us and around us. People don’t have to understand you to love you, though it is nice when they coincide of course. But for you to be the Love that you are, you must be your Self and that requires truth and courage. You have it in abundance. Like bird leaving the nest, you may have a few bumpy attempts at first, but you have it within you, naturally, to soar. Spread those scruffy angelic wings, dear one, and let your Soul light take flight. Don’t hold back or be scared. Your bravery could be the very thing that inspires someone you didn’t even know needed your light for their own encouragement.

In truth, the lighthouse that you are is of such value to ships that have lost their way. In being your light, you assist even those that seek to dissuade you due to their own agendas. Those lost Souls can gain love from the source they are seeking to destroy, Truth, if they allow it. And as you are in this place of acceptance, you will draw to you many who affirm you and are consciously grateful to you and able to receive you, which is a lovely reward for all that inner work. And because you accept yourself you can receive their gratitude and feel the love in it without guilt or denial, just totally drinking in that loving acceptance from within and from “external” sources. Yet of course, as Life goes on this Planet, the choice either way is up to us. May your choice be one of Love.

Blessings and Namaste to you dear one, I honor the light in you, Alana
