Treading the Path - companions and Angels
Phew! - this Spirituality game isn’t one for the faint hearted. Cryptic messages, amazing revelations, temporary insanity, Archetypal meanderings, amazing new friends, physical illness, magical places, unwarranted accusations, boundless gratitude, angels, demons and the Godhead itself - I’ve had it all - and most of it in the last three weeks. I’ll try and cover it all over the next few articles - I’m sure you’ll enjoy the stories.
Before I go any further can I take this opportunity to send LOVE out to Steve and the guys at www.totl.co.uk excellent project - well worth checking out if you’re interested in Spirituality. Blessings also to Sandra and the Group at www.thewitchsway.me.uk if you’re interested in Paganism and live near Reddish, Stockport they’re a wonderful group to meet up with. Special Greets to Mhaille and Sef - thanks guys for simply being YOU.
I’m still having major problems with work so can’t go into that too much except to note that I’m appalled at the level of ’support’ I’ve not received, including them stopping my pay and making out it was a mistake. Luckily I have an excellent Union Rep that had it reinstated within a few days. The sooner this situation is resolved - the better for me and my family.
One constant in this journey is that I’m overwhelmed with the number of wonderfully spiritual people that I’m meeting through pure coincidence (hereafter known as The Divine Plan as there is no such thing as coincidence). Sure there are dissapointments but as soon as one companion leaves your path, another appears to share the next stage of the quest for Truth and Light.
Whether these people are there for a fleeting moment or for a much longer shared stint on the path - each and evrey one are an absolute godsend. Further confirmation to me that we all act as each others Angels as we stumble through Life. Some are there to soothe and support while others are there as obstacles and lessons - but once you go through this realisation you treat everyone as a messenger from the Source and acknowledge the Divine Spark in them all.
This one revelation in a sea of many has opened my eyes to living consciously ‘in the moment’ - my eyes, ears and heart wide open to each possibility of guidance and enlightenment. You really should take the time to LISTEN rather than waiting for your turn to speak.
The key to all this is unconditional Forgiveness - don’t hold any grudges, vendettas or negativity that no longer serve your purpose. Move on and let it all go and the messages, realisations and lessons will soon follow. My favourite methods for doing this are a good long soak in the bath or a lengthy stroll in the countryside - both always work wonders for letting go of frustrations and getting back on track.
The other lesson I’ve learnt is not to respond immediately and don’t be forced into reacting by anyone else - give yourself time to let it all sink in and unfold. You’ll soon see that many ‘perceived’ issues were never there to begin with and the others have no satisfactory resolution anyway - just let it go rather than wasting energy trying to reclaim ground that was never yours to begin with.
Hey - whatever happens, people are an energy too. As one leaves to tread a different path, another will come along with new ideas and renewed vigour to refresh your Spirit and add new dimensions to your personal Gnosis. Don’t try and block the flow, roll with it.
So here’s a toast to all the friends and companions I’m yet to meet - I’m looking through clear eyes and won’t miss the chance to share with any of you ;-) and huge thanks to all those I’ve already met on my journey - you’ll always have a place in my heart and I hope to see you soon.
Much Love to you all,
