Sunday Musings ~ Finding That “Infinite Ocean of Calm” Within
“Deep in the soul.. below pain.. below all the distraction of life is a silence vast and grand… an infinite ocean of calm.. which nothing can disturb; Nature’s own exceeding peace.. which “passes understanding”. That which we seek with passionate longing.. here and there.. upward and outward; we find at last within ourselves.”
~ Richard Maurice Bucke 1837 -1902 Author of “Cosmic Consciousness”
This past week has been really interesting for me. Mexico City has experienced at least 2 earthquake tremors that I am aware of. Thursday’s being the strongest I have ever felt. Perhaps there is a little residual fear there still within me from the sinking of Atlantis, I’m not sure, but when the Earth begins to move beneath your feet, you should be able to find your inner calm before allowing the fear to rise up and engulf you. This is a metaphor for anything that we allow to rise up and engulf us. I also experienced intense pain from a previous knee injury during this past week, and while I was lying there feeling the pain, I asked Michael to help me figure out what message this pain has for me now. I received intuitively that the pain is showing me the importance of staying in balance within myself by not letting any negative energy influence my calm. Within me I have both masculine and feminine energy and I have neglected the masculine and embraced only my feminine energy because I thought of myself as being only feminine within this female body I wear. I have come to realize this past week that even though I occupy a female form, I am still within myself both energies, and until I can balance those energies within myself, I can never hope to fully merge with my I AM Presence, who is also both my Divine Feminine and Masculine essence.
