Re: A Tale of Self-Discovery
The spirit has a way of informing each of us uniquely with what we need. Sometimes the tidbits we're conscious of are flashes of memory - literal or symbolic - of what either we've done in the distant past or what we are doing on inner planes while we sleep.
We've been through so much which our souls must resolve, that much of the activity of consciousness is inner and sub-conscious, barely breaking the surface. Consequently it can be difficult to examine and understand a few degrees of a circle sliced from a sphere grasped fleetingly then smothered by the conscious demands of new experience. I can remember dreams and daydreams and poetic scribblings that eventually were explained by a clearer realisation of my past incarnations. A fair bit has happened in our aeonic sojourn through the mysts of matter. The mystery of our own lives is recorded within us. It presses the boundaries of conscious awareness in literal and symbolic ways seeking the open embrace of acceptance and conscious resolution.
That's all i know. It's a process that occasionally provides the grace of real vision yet the clarity of that POV recedes behind the labrinth of unknowingness until again grace brings personal understanding. It is a cycle which must become an upward spiral as vision translates into soul attainment or closer proximity to the inner light of Christ. Much like the light of the sun appears to us from earth's changing POV we must seek and know the inner light from each degree and plane of awareness. Until Oneness is realised the subject views the object. The skewed earth spins on it's axis and revolves around the sun. Sometimes it is partially or fully eclipsed by the moon, sometimes earth is dark sometimes bathed in the light of noontide. Sometimes equinox sometimes solstice. As the earth will one day ascend and be drawn back into the Sun so will the soul ascend to perfect union through the Son. May we all make the most of cycles - especially the grace of vision - to transcend self.
Thankyou for sharing all this Czymra. Obviously your higher-Self knows what your outer mind is trying to re-member. You may resist the idea considering it an archaic misunderstanding of the nature of God, i don't know, but have you talked to your higher-Self? Your Christ Self is the immaculate conception of Father and Mother and is friend, counsellor and guide. Some might say that "i am my higher-Self so why would i talk to someone i am?" To that i'd say that the soul is a fragment of the higher- Self projected into matter yet the higher-Self has become largely eclipsed from inner view. An inner dialogue in thought and word is an offering of receptivity to the higher-Self. It is the offering of a place (in consciousness) for the answers to specific questions to be given. It is a bit like being trapped in a prison cell and tapping on the wall to see if you get a response from outside. When you do you will find your higher-Self is willing to help in just that way. It's a revelation to discover it really works. I wouldn't suggest it if it didn't but i wouldn't push it either. When you consider the 'payoff' it could be worth at least experimenting with. Life presents so many questions to a questing soul. God has all the answers.
