Within all humans, I believe there is a soul with great meaning, immense purpose, and energy that is timeless. Before I was of flesh and bones (and fascia), I was. In that, I know my purpose and divine grace. This is not a belief, it is a knowing. The energy within me was before I was in this body and will remain long after I leave it.
Within the mind is a voice that often diminishes the light of that soul or spirit and of that knowing. We get caught up in the minutia of work, status, finances, relationships, needs, wants, and all of the things that often seem so pressing and important, we lose sight of that light entirely. We become frustrated (that's anger in a tuxedo btw), we feel depressed, and that voice in our mind can become a real shithead. "Why can't I get this right? Why isn't my life better? Why do I believe nobody will love me, nobody cares? My life is horrible."
Life isn't given to any of us out of suffering or hate. Life isn't just a thing created by a sperm and an egg. Life is a blessing - a gift - we are given to express our spirit in the living form. Know this. Don't just believe it. Root your very soul in the knowing.
When you feel you are the tiniest speck, the runt of the litter, the one who can't figure your shit out of the hole you're in, do you sit there withering away, wallowing in the suffering or do you pause, breathe deeply, and reach out to someone, anyone who would listen, ask questions, and find a different way of seeing your tiny speck of being? Do you ever just say out loud to that shitty voice in your head, "You know what, you're wrong. This is just a moment in time and quite frankly, I'm tired of listening to you because all you do is make me feel worthless. So pipe down and leave me be. I am a soul with great meaning and purpose." Do you regain control or let the voice in your head consume you?
This thought of the day comes through me as I watch my beautiful mother struggle to believe that even when we are down, there is another side of the coin that faces up. Sometime, we just need a gentle, loving reminder that we are good and deserve love, compassion, and light. We are in it together. It starts from within. Believe what you want - but know thy self - know this truly and watch light emerge once more.
