Lesson 99: It's Alright

“If you knew everything was really all right, and that it always has a happy ending, then you would not feel trepidatious about your future. Everything is really so very all right! If you could believe and trust that, then, immediately everything would automatically and instantly become all right.”

— Abraham-Hicks

New week equals a new theme and we are introduced to “Raising the Frequency”. We are to read the quote and note how we feel after reading it. Whatever resistance we feel, we are to just let it go. We are to absorb and I assume this changes our frequency.

I honestly thought about the silly worries we have that hold us back from just realising that everything is alright and everything will work out the way it’s supposed to be. I am in no way discounting anyone’s feelings and worries, but sometimes we over complicate the future, when we just need to let it go and let it flow. I always have to remind myself that everything will be okay and to not overwhelm my mind with too much. Sometimes I work myself up thinking about whether I’ll have enough money, or if I’ll find love etc, but it will always work out, as long as I put my own efforts into place to conquer those concerns. I definitely don’t think there is some magical fairy that makes sure everything will be alright from my lack of inactivity. I think we definitely do need to take action in order for good things to occur. There is an element of action, as well as trusting that it will work out combined together, to gain a positive result.

Lesson 98: Compassion For Yourself Becomes...

Holding compassion for yourself is a good challenge. We went through the first passage of the heart which was pain and released our grief and as we become more aware, we move into the heart of compassion that evolves us into embracing pure love. If we practise the art of compassion, it will be easier to maintain over time.

I honestly believe this is the hardest thing to achieve. Dealing with pain was easier in the sense that you already know what causes you pain, you work through it and then steady yourself for release, but only when you’re ready. Applying compassion to everyone else and yourself, takes some getting used to. Especially in situations where you think it’s not deserved, though I feel like this is the lesson – to rise above what you think you know as right and wrong, in order to hold compassion in every situation. This opens us up to more understanding of the self and others. It engages us to tolerance and acceptance. We do not have to dislike ourselves or others for certain qualities, because when we hold compassion, it opens us up to truly understanding each other as equal and appreciating oneness.

When I was awakened, I really wanted to live with more pure love in my heart. It’s been challenging constantly. There is so much to learn about yourself and accept about yourself before you can move onto sharing this love with others. I think I am more self-aware than I have ever been but there are still annoyances in the way that I live and especially the ways others live (totally not their fault and just a conditioning of their environment), that I have to overcome with compassion. The things that annoy me are the way we are blinded to world and environmental issues and live in such a consumerist materialistic world that has no soul growth. I think I have a bigger job in life, which may not be right now, though definitely down the track, to really wake people up to the issues this world faces.

It’s good that I am doing this course to really open up myself to the passages of the heart in order to apply pure love in the world. I think this lesson of compassion proves to be quite inspiring and I will work hard to truly understand it and apply it. It’s a tough road but I like the test.

Lesson 98: Check In WEEK 14 - Getting Spacious

This week saw us become more spacious by taking on a simple exercise of identifying an area of the home and taking a minute a day in it to help clear. I noticed that I was more motivated to clear, knowing that new people would be visiting my home and that I wanted it to look more like the home I wanted, because they would look upon it for the first time. I also wanted to be rid of items that I didn’t want use as often as I’d like, and was introduced to the concept, that if it didn’t fill my heart with joy, then maybe it was time to move that item along. Never really looked at my items and space in this way and I felt I really benefited from that simple advice. Taking a minute out of each day is useful because as soon as I feel overwhelm, I can stop. My make-up is my current challenge, as I am trying to decide what colours are truly my colours and what I would wear, and then I want to rid myself of all the items I do not use. I am becoming more spacious and noticed that I want a simple space that has life also. It’s been a good week for clearing and hope I maintain it.

Lesson 97: Do You Notice How Compassion...

True healing comes about as accepting everyone as equal. This comes about from compassion.  Today we are to look at our worst enemy from the past and see that you are both equal. If you can’t see how it you are equal, ask the Divine to show you the answer.

I actually don’t see anyone as my worst enemy. I think that’s just wasted time and emotion to have so much of that anger lingering towards someone. If I am to think of someone that wronged me, I thought of two girls who called my ugly in high school. To hold compassion for these two people is massive for me. They weren’t very nice people and I believe in karma also. When I hold compassion towards these people, I do feel that they may have projected their own insecurities onto me, as well as said and did things to appear “cool” or fit in. I think being a teenager is a challenging time for everyone so all I can do is see them in the same way I dealt with those years. I’m sure I did and said things to upset people during that time and maybe I didn’t mean them either. I do not know if any of my words may have impacted someone else as much as these girls had impacted me. I can see now that everyone has their own trials and tribulations and we try to make sense of the world the best way we know how.

Lesson 97: Not Clutter

“Things that make your heart sing are not clutter. If they brighten your day, make your life easier, more fun, or feel supremely good...not clutter. Nor extravagance.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

Today we are to breathe into this and reflect. It is a good way of taking on a clearing practise – whatever brings you joy, keep the item and whatever doesn’t bring on this same feeling, you can potentially get rid of. I think anything that doesn’t bring you joy would be stale energy just lingering about. Whatever attachment you once had, isn’t the same anymore, so thinking about items and belongings in this way may make the clearing process easier. Our space should be a reflection of the best version of ourselves, so it should really have items and energy that lifts our hearts.
