Lesson 204: The Most Elevated Beings on Earth...

….are there to help us and show us a better way. They are the people we look to for inspiration and guidance in those times when we are lost or in the dark. There is also the opportunity for us to help others that need our assistance – those who might be vibrating lower than ourselves and we support those people in our own way. We are in the middle of the two. Today we are to find an opportunity to help someone vibrating lower than us as well as accept help from another.

I honestly believe that the witch shop I work at in Melbourne (Muses of Mystery) allows me to be helped as well as help others. I look to my mentors and other people in the community for guidance when I don’t know the answer. Sometimes it just for clarity on something that I doubt in myself because I thought I didn’t know the answer. It’s good to have this support in my life on topics that I knew absolutely nothing about. It’s at this shop that I can also teach others. I am in the middle of my journey and I recognise when someone doesn’t know how to start, so I start talking about how I found my own path. I think by sharing my story, it allows people to feel more comfortable in themselves and that’s a good thing! We all have doubts, but when someone else shares a story that makes you feel better about what you’re doing, it gives you a newfound confidence. I feel though that most days I’ll be in the middle because there is so much knowledge out there that you will always have mentors and also be a teacher at the same time. It’s all part of our growth.

Lesson 203: To Be Illuminated...

Being illuminated is an awakening for you are now conscious. It allows you to be on a different path to others as you come to understand how to work with your own energy. We have moved through the passages of the heart of pain and compassion. Can you now see how this has changed you? And, can you help another who is currently going through these passages? Look around today to see if there is an opportunity to do so.

I think going through those passages have allowed me to deal with situations and feelings that have plagued me my whole life. It allowed me to shed things that don’t hold me back now. I think by applying compassion to myself, like how I do for others, really allowed me to be forgiving to myself. There is a lot more acceptance I have for myself than I ever have. From my own acceptance, it allows me to assist others or recognise when another is need of my light.

I didn’t necessarily have anyone that needed my assistance today. The only way I tried to help a stranger, was the girl who came in Saturday in the shop I worked at. I talked about the spiritual path that may help her with her tarot readings. I just wanted her to see her own potential whilst being surrounded by a supportive community. I mean there are some friends who are currently going through passages of pain and compassion, though that’s more like an everyday energy I share with those people. I think it’s slow progress but progress nonetheless.

I will keep trying to spread my light to help illuminate others on a day to day basis. How did you help someone out through pain or compassion?

Day 202 - A Year of Spiritual Awakening - Understand That Not Everyone...

Lesson 202: Understand That Not Everyone...

“Understand that not everyone in this lifetime seeks; not everyone will find. Understand, that most are still sleeping; this is always as it has been. At a given time, there are only a few who are illuminated.”

— Sara Wiseman

Not everyone will be guided by the Divine light. In fact, you will know some people in your life that are not interested in discovering their spiritual side and do not want to be awakened. It’s one of those things that you need to accept and allow their path to be their own. I think over time, those people do get curious and want to expand on the topic, and there will be a moment to have a nice healthy discussion about spirituality. You may find you slowly light people’s paths and allow them to explore your beliefs as a starting point. Today, we are to shine our light to assist those around you to become illuminated for we are illuminated. Take the moment to help another seek from the Divine.

When I was at work, a girl came in wanting to find a tarot deck. She had been on the search and hadn’t found one she connected with. We started talking and I talked about different places I had been to learn spirituality in different ways. She was quite young so I thought by freely talking about my own path, she might feel comfortable in exploring some of the things I was talking about. I think that’s the hardest challenge I faced – not knowing where to go to really answer the questions I had. Anything I can do to illuminate someone else’s path is a win for me. If I can be open and honest about what I’ve done, it may spark something in someone else. I think not really knowing if you can find people like yourself can be difficult and at times it can be a solitary path. It’s good to find people that believe in the same things you do. Because this girl hadn’t learned tarot, I said we had tarot classes every fortnight for $20 and you get to learn with a good group of people. I could see the cogs turning in her head as she considered it. I just wanted to show her that there are safe environments where learning was possible with people just like her. She ended up buying oracle cards and a crystal and left after this.

Even though this girl didn’t take me up on my offer, I like to talk to others of my own experience. The other day I helped a lady by giving her my medium teacher’s number because her and her husband started seeing spirits. I offered assistance in this way because they were afraid but I wanted them to know that there was a reason spirits were presenting themselves and it’s a path they can explore. I think fear really took over but if you have the right guidance, it becomes less intense and scary. I think when we all help each other in this way, it opens possibilities for others. I try and do that every time I’m working in the witch shop to stop uncertainty in others. It’s a welcome environment and I’m proud of who I am and I want that in others too.

Is there something you can do to help illuminate someone else’s path?
