Ode to the Elements - Part 1 - Air

 Dear Spirit,


How very ungrateful we are to this world's father - the air. He feeds our body and soul in ways we don't even comprehend. 

He ensures our survival. He feeds us all through and through. He is  connected to us every moment of every day, and yet we pay little to no attention to it. Even in meditation - the breathing is just an instrument for our connection to the place we came from (let's assume it's heaven). But we are here and now and as our dear friend Jesus said:

Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him. ( https://biblehub.com/mark/12-17.htm )

Before we even dare to think we can really understand God, and be in any kind of connection to Him, we should start feeling, understanding the nature of this reality.

The air is not only crucial to any kind of life on this planet, he is also the greatest magician (sorcerer)  ever known and even the greatest artist. Doesn't he carry the smell of the flowers, doesn't he paint the sunset. Aren't there clouds that amaze us, does he not carry the waves of sounds?

Besides shaping life - which is a wonder by itself - he directs a spectacle every day : leaves dancing in his arms, rainbows from his smile, painting in the sky, dramatic storms and thunders. 

We are part of this world's art, where he is one of the forces charge. Make no mistake, the wonders you create are small, and the great part in them is done by the elements, other forces and in the end (and the beginning) GOD. 

One must learn to respect the forces that allow our presence here and to Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.

The initiation

Image
 Dear, Today we should talk about initiations.  Some, in the path of mastering the spiritual arts, have searched for and obtained those so called initiations, or spiritual potions as I would call them. They just help you open up a new world within yourself, discover a bit more about yourself and even put you a bit to the test; some, might even give you an extra boost of energy and inspiration to be more dedicated to your path. But remember, no initiation is going to give you what you don't already have.- It is a process where you accept (!)  unlocking a new territory on your inner map  - it is more about letting your wall down and welcoming a new energy. What you should know is the fact that there is one initiation that really matters - the one with the divine forces. After you've done the work and put yourself together, found and finally understood yourself, after you can truly be in the present without the past holding you back, after all that you are ready to let your walls

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Image
 Dear neighbor, When everything is going well, the sun is shining above us and we are surrounded by light in our lives, things are not always as clear as they should be. We sometimes attribute the light to the circumstances, to our surroundings, to other things and others. We rarely think where does the light come from. It is only when there's darkness in our lives that we think about the light and its source.  The dark night of the soul has a clear message. It is like  our soul has closed its eyes for a short time in order to truly connect with God, for it is only now that the source of the light can be correctly identified.  Photo by Nadiya Ploschenko on Unsplash Even   though   I walk   through the valley   of the shadow of death,   I will fear   no   evil,   for   You   are with me;   Your rod   and Your staff,   they   comfort me.   In our darkest times we need to search for the light. We will eventually find its source and be kept safe. Fear not and focus on what matters. In

We are the gardeners of our Tree of Life

Image
Dear Gardener,      What a sad view of our beginning is to think we were thrown out of the Garden of Eden...       I dare say, we were not banished from Eden - we merely forgot the password.  Michael Dziedzic on Unsplash We did search for it since then. We discovered new continents, new species, new horizons and we even got into space but we are nowhere close to finding IT. We uncovered our history and we put the pieces together and yet... the Garden of Eden is still merely a long forgotten dream of a home.     I dare you to forget for a second what you were thought and think of yourself as being in the Garden of Eden at last... your home... The place where you are complete, nothing is missing and the love, the life, the forces of being are are more alive then ever inside you. All the terrible noise of our civilization silenced by the power of bliss... a nurturing, fulfilling infinite bliss. Everything is available, yet nothing is needed for you are perfectly existing.  Aron Visuals
