Words heard through veils of thick wounds, cascading down listener mind, certain to hear same old thing. Monsters telling stories to lure victim into familiar trap, or well intentioned other falling prey to self’s past experiences?
What lies dormant but suddenly wakes like sleeping giant within? Trespasses past flash flood the cascade wringing forth giant’s cries as writhing commences. All this only to make a choice: hear same old meanings and scamper away like kitten hurt, or listen with new ears, see with new eyes and taste with new tongue that which may be kind, well-intended and/or not about self.

Surrender
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul.” Psalm 23.
Wanting set aside and detachment from outcome embraced, then abundance provided. Faith and trust in higher self brings peace of still emotions, then centeredness (soul restored). Forgotten, these words, and their meaning, hold little value. Remembered, ease the dis-ease of fear.
Yeshua said, “You shall be all that I am and more.” To be like him means to think like him. To ascend means to overcome karmic fear, which will be one, or more, of four: unworthiness, insecurity, abandonment and unknown. All four grab by throat to suffocate. Only defense?...give up wanting life to go a certain way. Accept what comes in challenge and pass the test. The alternative is failing self.

Trust
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who take it.” Yeshua (Jesus): Matthew, 7.13-14.
If clearing mind was easy, it would have been done by now. The hard road traveled requires practice and faith. Not faith that what is wanted is acquired, but faith that God / Spirit wants all to be happy and will provide whatever is necessary, even if that is homelessness, bankruptcy or death. I say this for me as much as you. Economic times challenge as monetary system changes. I have no reference for what an economy without greed might look like or work like, but I so look forward to finding out. Imagine. Imagine so it can become so.
Practice returning mind to trust and fill it with thoughts of gratitude for whatever is or will be. “The Lord is my Sheppard, I shall not want.” Fear leads to destruction of self. Trust is the rougher road…at first. The more this road is traveled, the smoother it becomes.

Ascension
Spiritual maturing proceeds from one level to the next like a great spiral staircase, one step at a time. Every once in a while there is a small landing upon which to stand and take in sustenance equal to a new level of consciousness. Pieces and parts of higher self unite with earthly self on those landings.
Journey continues as a new birth, resembling a mini reincarnation. Learning of old wisdom begins again with each rise traveled. All that was known of how to deal with fear must be relearned. All that was known of personality must be re-experienced in the new self.
To see through new eyes means to relearn through them as well. Maturity strengthens soul to become lighter and lighter with each step on the ascending rise to become a light being of compassion, quiet strength, forgiveness, trust and sovereignty; ignoring fear. Each level accomplished brings new insights, new perspectives to new eyes.
