Today is not a very good day. A very loving and responsible father was declined for insurance. My appointments got cancelled. Discovered I have another member of the family who have a high sugar reading. Found out that some products I am ordering will not be available till the second week of October. I had a bad hair day - considering I just came from the parlor just yesterday.
After an exhilaratingly exciting Sunday and Monday, the rest of the week had been a drag and not many things has happened. That is the reason for my silence these past few days.
Well... It happens. It is so amazing that sometimes, things like these happen at a time my energy level was down as well.
"Energy flows where we focus it."
I guess I am permitting my energy to flow in the wrong direction and I better shift now so it will not gain power and momentum that way any further.
Incidentally I encountered this and a number other things that prove to be true in a book entitled "Celestine Prophecy". Believe me, I'd love to read this book, and the experiential guide that somebody gave me some years back but, despite my ability to read other books, I simply do not seem to find the time to read this one.
Today, I was reading through some books in a book sale store and found a tiny little book with a tiny little price at the back on the nine insights of the Celestine Prophecy. I thought to myself "Finally! The size that fits me" and it took all but one jeepney ride to finish the tiny little book.
I'd like to take this moment to dwell on this a bit. I am no expert. I will just share my own understanding.
I personally believe that new age ideas such as that in the Celestine Prophecy are old truths that our psyche are just rearing to rediscover because these are the truths that our society has long buried due to materialism. I am not for hermit-hood if there is such a term but that I think that our advances in science, in commerce, etc are meant to happen and are meant to use to improve our life and not to control us and lead us to disturb our natural order.
I also believe, as a Catholic, that although these ideas that are proliferating now in the new age communities may use different terms, the base, the home, the foundation still rests on God, that we are spiritual beings because God has "breathed" on us His life. And by that breath, I believe we are eternally connected to Him no matter how we try to deny, forget or ignore it.
In one part of the book, the writer (James Redfield) mentioned about some sensual signs to know if we really are connecting with the divine. He mentioned about 1- A sense of buoyancy, 2- a sense of euphoria, 3- a sense of love. All of which exists seemingly without reason, without an object, oblivious of the circumstances one is in. But rather, it springs from constant communion with God.
How distorted my own ideas of buoyancy, euphoria and love has been these past few days. All the while I have been sapping energy from myself thinking that buoyancy is my weight, euphoria is my social life and love my object of affection-attention (whatever!) for the time being. No wonder I have been so tired sucking energy from void sources!
For a sense of security and wholeness (... leading to true happiness, i think) we are to draw energy not from events, objects and people but rather on the Divine Source. Oh yeah! Like I need a new age book for that. But I'd have to say yes. These moments are the times when i tell myself " Oo nga pala Lord, Ikaw lang wala nang iba!"
I'd like to talk more about the book but I'd only be repeating and explaining what the book already contains so just read up if you have the time. If none, find a size that fits you too. : ) As for now, all I am gonna concern myself about is to be open to the messages of the universe - of my God to "learn to be in the right place at the right time in order to provide my unique truth to others".
This by the way does not fall like manna from heaven... you also work for it so - talk to Him. : )
