WHY ARE YOU STILL STRUGGLING?

I am always amazed at how many wonderful people are still struggling with Life… still battling to be successful, be happy, be loved…

It’s too easy to say “It’s Karma… in some way they deserve it… it’s a test – to see how they cope with it.” Really…?!? That’s just so much b*-sh#t!

Consider this – yes, Karma does exist; and yes, it is a “lesson” to be learned… but remember, these are wonderful people!

No, I’m not being a bigot, nor prejudiced – it’s simple knowledge of Energy and Vibrational Rates – if the person embodies a more Animalistic Consciousness, if they are driven by their Lower Nature, if their Energies are lower/contaminated, then yes, all they’re going through IS Karma, and the lesson they have yet to learn… equally, if the person is kind, loving, nurturing, then their Energies are more refined, purer, higher… now this is NOT Karma.

Then what’s going on…?
It’s quite simple – these ‘wonderful’ people have taken upon their shoulders someone else’s Karma, someone else’s burden… (as their Service to Spirit). Why would they do this…? Because they truly are nice people (and this is their way to help all others progress and evolve.)

Oh, that’s so nice… (many of you would say)
Heck no, it isn’t!

At some point it is ‘enabling’, and actually prevents the other from learning his own lesson.

And how do we know when this is happening? When the ‘nice, wonderful’ people are collapsing under this burden… when it has started to feed off their Life Force, when they are caught in this stinky mess and are unable to find their way out… So, it’s time to wake up, all you ‘good people’, and consider the First Rule of Life; “Life is for living, joyfully, lovingly, happily… fully!”

So, it’s time to LET GO and recharge your batteries…(or are you just so programmed to be a ‘beast-of-burden’…?)

This month is dedicated to Energies – their movements, limitations, restrictions and fallacies…and how to release them and fully reclaim yourself…(so, take a deep breath, and figure out what to do with yourself…oh, what to do…what to do…?)

A NOTE TO THE FEMALE CYCLE

My knowledge of the female chemistry is very limited but I do know she goes through a very large and intense chemical change every month. I am most distressed that my male world has yet to acknowledge her monthly cycle with more respect and a little more gentle understanding.

The female body goes through such a complex chemistry of internal change and pressure that I can’t even imagine what that must feel like. Does it feel as if your internal organs are being squeezed and twisted? Does it feel like you are being turned inside out sometimes? I don’t believe my male body could survive such anguish, and yet because all women endure this blessing of a monthly life and death cycle, we men look away and make distasteful jokes.

I would ask that we men give her natural cycle some serious thought, space and patience. I would also ask the women of the world to not hide this beautiful and tender time from us men. We need to know and understand what has been unspoken for too many years—this elegant, but perhaps confusing flow of nature. How can we men be supportive to you when we don’t accept or understand your discomfort?

From the beginning of recorded history women have been told to be ashamed or to be dismissed from social engagement or to apologize if she shows the least degree of emotional variation. Women and men have both used several degrading slurs to describe the period.  Let’s reverse and banish this image and use a little more sophistication. Women of the world, please let us men know when you are going through your fragile time, let us know how we can support and praise your experience. This may be the time when we cook your dinners and have you relax. Put your feet up and be pampered—no excuses. You deserve it and you need it. You need to be given the accepted honor for the complex cycle that provides life for all future generations.

It will take time for us men to recognize more clearly what happens inside your bodies and it will take time for women to see more clearly that we men wish to understand you better and love you more deeply. It will take a little more time before a man does more as a woman does less while she is accepting this rest to lighten her thoughts and her body. Let’s come out of the dark ages and celebrate together this gift of life. All of life has its cycles and all of life is to be shared.
