Woohoo, these energy waves are INTENSE this year! Thank you for your well wishes and blessings.

I guess it’s time I shared what I’ve been up to, huh? I have been very active in all sorts of different directions…time I wrote a *new* post.

Thank You for the Blessings and here come some right back at ya’!

Hope all is going great with your daughter and you and all the rest of yours. . .

Blessings, CordieB.

Most major depressions, anxieties, worries, and perhaps even illnesses are manifested in our inability to love ourselves fully and without doubts or fears. As ingrained as these fears are, can we ever really unshackle ourselves from them all – peel each layer away. It’s so second nature to judge ourselves now, that it almost feels inherent of our being. But, every so often, I am blessed with the aha-ness of knowing. The more I embrace the knowing, the more I am able to feel it in spirit as in my true self. For that I am thankful.
Again, thanks Sue Ann for taking the time out to explain this “stuff” so that I can better comprehend, and also for enlightning me in so many ways, especially by giving me food for thought. Mwah!
Peace, Light and Love,
CordieB.

Yesterday, I attended a workshop run by Sally, who sometimes comments on my blog. At the end of it, I glimpsed my way out of Plato’s cave. I glimpsed Oneness with the other people in the room and almost collapsed in floods of tears at the beauty of it. But I held back. 1) Because I’m a guy, 2) Because I’m British, and 3) Because I thought some of the other people in the room would be freaked out.

So today I’m carrying that emotion round with me, just below the surface. I’ve looked at it and I can see where it comes from: it’s from the utter effort and frustration of trying to measure up to the expectations of myself and others day after day for year after year after year. It’s despair at the constant striving. From time to time, for a few days, I can give it up. I can see through that illusion about the weight of the world. But I always go back down the path to pick the weight up again.

One day, I will leave it there on the stairs…

Thank You for having Patience with me, as I understand it takes a while for us to be able to wrap our minds around this ~stuff~ I do the best I can and what really helps, is when people ask questions…then I know what could use clarification. If approaching it one way didn’t work, I’ll give it another go! That’s the way we all learn, including me.

What I mean is that however much our glass is full or empty, we decide that, for we are the pitcher that fills up our glasses. We’re the ones who decide how full or not full, we’re going to be.

Instead of a glass, picture the cup of our Hearts. This cup of our emotions is filled by us, from the inside, out. Now if we have conditions on what we are going to accept, or understand, then we’re going to treat ourselves according to our own preformed conditions. We’ll only love ourselves “so” much, based on whether we have lived up to our own rules. This is a self implied limit. And because of it, we’re going to find ourselves feeling in need and go looking for others to fill our cups for us.

A pitcher, however, can fill cups and all cups upon demand. It simply pours whatever is required to fill up the cup, or a glass. We are not the glass or the container, the form that holds us, we are the pitcher from where all water of life comes from.

Was that any better?
