Becoming Intimate

Isolation to Vulnerability:

Today, I called Michael for help with a problem. He pointed out to me that some of my pain comes from my tendency to isolate myself and avoid intimacy in my relationships. This is clear to me now. Thanks to Michael, I was able to clarify and articulate my isolation feeling / tendency, and now I have to practice becoming intimate with others.

Alienating oneself from other people feels safe – for people like me, at least. Becoming intimate with others requires one to show and express one’s vulnerability. Nonetheless, in all of our relationships, we have to be vulnerable and have an open heart. It can feel risky to express and reveal ideas and emotions to other people. We fear abandonment and anger. We fear losing our independence.

As Michael said, “Vulnerability is about recognizing that we have the same divine spirit.” Even when we find differences of idea, thought, personality, and feeling, we are actually the same since we come from the same place, the same divine. Vulnerability is about expressing the essence that we share. And we can not express that unless we have an open, vulnerable heart.
“It’s like a yoga pose. When you feel vulnerable hold it and extend it for a longer period,” Michael instructed me. Opening the heart is like stretching a muscle, expanding ourselves to be closer to the divine. Elizabeth

Roots

What are we really rooted to? We look at the trees and we think they have roots, but really all of us, the trees, the flowers, the divine, we are like the hydroponic plants with their roots hanging in the water.  The roots go down, but they go nowhere.   They are just hanging, unattached.

Sex: the divine creative

Sex is our most divine expression. It is innate in each of us and it is the highest form of creativity that we have in this world.

Why then do we expect so much from ourselves creatively when our sex lives are not well?  For many of us, sex is a complicated and dark confusing issue with so many wild and strange twists that we have no idea where the truth lies.  What is it we really want when we go to bed with someone?

“Want”- even the word has so many ideas swirling about in our heads, we don’t even know where to begin.

Perhaps it is time we start unpacking our misplaced, misunderstood emotions, ideas, differences, experiences and start to focus on the divine connection that we have with our creator when we have sex.

Sex: it isn’t just about humanity.

It is the closest we come to the divine flow of creativity.    Love, Meg

“But, I don’t want to….”

“Living is easy with your eyes closed.” – John Lennon

There are going to be days when we feel like slouching into our old “before we had a spiritual practice” posture.  We want to roll over and hit the snooze alarm about 15 more times.  We don’t want to take charge, take the lead, ask questions or get the job done.  We want to hide out.

I know this position well…too well. What do we do when we don’t feel we want to take the lead in our lives?

The only lead we ever have to take is the lead to give our lives over to the divine mother.

It is the only decision we have to make and if we do that she will always make sure we are taken care of.

If we don’t,  if we resist following the divine, then we find ourselves in a state of mind tangling rebellion.  We have excuses. We sip tea, listen to sad music and complain of being uninspired. If we were to follow mother, we would never lose our inspiration.

When we are busy pointing  fingers and complaining we certainly don’t get done all the miraculous things we could have gotten done in that day.  Every day we don’t follow the divine, is a day wasted.

So, on these days, and hopefully they are few, we have to pick up the torch and put it into our hands and make a commitment not to set it down.  We have to commit to sticking with our divine path even when it is tough, even when hopelessness creeps in around the corners and doubt sweeps in over our minds.  We have to hold that torch steady and not let the rains of sorrow or despair put it out.
Follow,

follow,

follow

because we aren’t in charge anyway.  Love, Meg

What’s on the other side?

When we have truly let go, even death will be an adventure. It will be the ultimate curiosity in what happens next. Love, Meg

Where are we now?

What if this place we are living and breathing right now is another womb?  When we come to be old we are knocking up against the  walls and we know it is time once again to pass through another birth canal into another world.

We are in the belly of the great and divine mother and when we have acknowledged her presence in our lives, when we truly understand that we are a manifestation of her, then we are released. Love, Meg

Who’s in charge here!

Is trying really hard to get the job done much better than relaxing and letting things happen by themselves? How will either bring you closer to the cradling that takes place in the arms of the divine? Michael

I’m over here

Does your skin or face or hair make you different from that which animates you? Do your worries, struggles, successes prove that you are separate from that which is divine? Are you absolutely certain that when you look in the mirror that “what you see is all you get”? When you look in the mirror without any ideas of who you are , is there something that is intrinsically known before you start thinking about it? Perhaps something that thought can’t capture……

Through the eyes of the divine

How does your life appear when looking through these eyes? How would we function? What would we ask for? What would we need to change? What would we love? How would our mind interpret infinity?  Michael
