Trust

TRUST Recently, I had a dream that I met a guide by a pond on the edge of a forest. I asked him, ' what more can i do to assist the sorrowed? ' He responded, ' you have to go to the other side.' -I quieried him, ' but, what does that mean? ' he repeated, ' you have to go to the other side. ' For days i pondered and meditated on this advice- did he mean i have to die? did he mean that i had to go into the spirit world, as a shaman, and return with something to share with the sorrowed? Neither of these resonated within me, so I knew I was not about to understand the meaning soon. Then, after about 5 days, I sat in breath awareness, empty, void, simply being the All that we are. My heart qi suddenly expanded like an inner explosion of golden sparklers.Tthe answer hummed within my whole being. I was a gong, a bell of light, and I knew that what he meant is that by asking ' what more can "I" do to assist the sorrowed...' I was NOT trusting that spirit would guide me to be in the right place at the right time for the approriate people. The ' other side ' of not trusting spirit is trust. I gave in and began to trust. For days afterwards, every time I went out into the world, on my way to classes, to the beach, anywhere at all, I would encounter people here and there that I would have something to say or do for them that definitely took a burden off of their shoulders, out of their minds and hearts. Spirit guided me to be in the place to save an elderly woman from being mugged, and possibly killed, by a young, drunk, angry youth. I touched his arm, just as he was about to strike her on the back of the neck with his fist. He spun around and lost his balance. I looked into his eyes and asked with spirit's voice, 'are you alright, man?' His anger and violence seemed to dissolve, he was frozen by spirit's strength, not mine. This is just one example of the many things like this that have been happening since the answer was given me... my voice changed when I spoke to these people, literally. It came from my heart, it seemed, not my throat, through my throat, yes, but from my heart. at the same time, as the words came out, I felt this incredible loving, safe, enormous compassionate spirit within me.. the words and actions that came from me at those times were not 'mine,' not ego. And so, I suggest to you, my Lightkin in Dreaming, that you too, in this same way, need to go to the other side. Trust. Love Light Joy Trust Gratitude Eternally LL

according to numerology, people born on the 16th are challenged to put their faith/trust in god rather than fellow men. i think the 16th is often characterized with sudden changes that makes ones world feel like its crumbling. consider the 16th card of tarot- the falling tower- where the tower of the false self is destroyed by the lightning strike of self-realization. (i was born on the 16th too)

What a wonderful Insight, and a very real Satori. My congratulations to you and my congratulations to the World for having one more Saint, the type of which are all too rare. But it may be easier to the Uninitiated to understand the Other Side that you talk about by noticing where the actual Shift occurred. You went from an Ego Centered Self Orientation to a State of Consciousness in which you were Surrendered to The Higher Cosmic Unified Being. The Yogin have for a millenia been chanting OM TAT SAT. Om is the thread of Divine Reality that interpenetrates the Material World. Tat suggests the Duality that consists in the apparent separation of Heaven and Earth. But SAT reconciles Heaven and Earth in a new Spiritual Synthesis, in which the Individual has shifted away from Self over to a God Consciousness, that is, reached that Other Side. Oh, and as an aside, do be aware that it is common for these Divine Energies to cycle in a kind of ebb and flow. It is a bit similar to the cycle observed in Manic Depression where a person will undergo a Euphoric Phase where the sense of potency and confidence are almost at an Absolute, the Manic Phase. But as the Energy Wave recedes, one falls into a depression, what the Spiritualists call a Dark Night of the Soul. The Life Histories of many of the Saints have shown this pattern. It is no worse than having to breat in and out. Anyway, my point is that you should not be concerned with these fluctuations of Light that come to you. Your moments of relative darkness is merely the sign that your Cosmic Batteries are recharging for the next Flash of Divinity.
