Was reading through some of the older topics over on my Embracing Mystery forum and found this from last month. I don't know if I ever got into any of this in my journal (though I meant to) so I'm putting it down now so I don't lose it. In background, you have to understand that flashes of instant insight come to me at the oddest of moments, where suddenly I will just start saying something and I know it's True. Not just accuate in the normal, mundande sense, but it's knowledge I have (or have access to) which is part of the universal whole. It's hard to describe, but when it comes, it's just there. Anyway, one such thing that came to me was the basis of this quote:

This came to me the other day and it's very true... "I think I am lost at sea, small and helples when in fact I am truly the sea itself. it's just that the sea is so big and that terrifies me even more..." It's not arrogance to know you're here for something. That something can be a tiny word or step, but it's ripples cast out far. I used to think that it was silly or fancy to think such things, but now I've come to accpet otherwise. You don't Sleep for that long, Incarnate now, live through all the things you've seen for nothing. This is me. I am here and while I don't claim to know why I am here, it is enough know in my maturity to know the Divine has Her reason.

Anyway, for those who read this regularly, know that I am in the process of trying to grow spiritually. Accepting of who and what I am, and pushing the boundries of what that means. Because life is about change, growth, and learning. If I don't do any of those - preferring to stay stagnent in my comfortable ignorance - then I will have accomplished nothing.

So, deep thoughts for the day from M.
