“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”~Buddha

Have you ever found yourself trying to “figure out” or investigate something that didn’t feel right? Has someone lied or withheld information from you and you set your feet upon a path of “finding” the truth? How many times has your energy and attention been outside of you looking to find the truth or an explanation of what’s happening? Personally I’ve done this throughout my life and the funny thing is that the moment I stop looking outside of myself and stand in my truth, the truth always seems to find me.

If you are looking “outside” of yourself for the truth you are not open to the truth that is already inside of you. You know there is an untruth (or withholding) in play because something doesn’t feel right at some level. When this happens do you leave your space to go out and find the answer? Does your wilful blindness come into play? In other words the truth is there but you choose not to see it, hear it or believe it. Sometimes we ignore “truth” because we are moving along in our own self propagated bliss and we shut off our intuition.

There’s a famous movie line which states ‘you can’t handle the truth’. It’s not that you can’t handle the truth it’s the “facts” you might have a challenge accepting. You can handle truth but may not really want to see and know the facts. Let me assure you that you can handle any truth that comes your way because the energy of truth is pure. Initially knowing and accepting the facts might hurt but in the end it feels right and you know it’s right because it’s the truth.

“In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for
the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.”~Buddha

In controversy we strive to be right and righteous. In matters of relationships we strive to be right and righteous and we do whatever it takes to BE right even if it means not facing the facts at hand or seeing the reality of what’s going on. The same can be said for withholding of information. The energy of withholding feels much the same as the energy of lies. Either way when “red flags” are triggered there is an imbalance of energy which in turn triggers the ego mind and activates the blame game. What if you simply noticed the energy of withholding or lies and could stand in your truth and by doing so allow the facts to come to you? Lies and withholding are “controls” to keep you from making your own decision about something. There is no freedom for either party.

“Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs
of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.”
~Mahatma Gandhi

A perfect example of not wanting to see the truth is what we all chose NOT to see with regards to the economy. What was going on within our governments and on Wall street? We were handed a bill of goods that at times seemed to good to be true. In the states people were told they could “afford” mortgages and so they bought in to the picture and purchased homes they clearly could not afford. This is not to blame or place responsibility on those people who were taken by predatory mortgage lenders. They bought a picture BUT it was someone else’s picture and they wanted to believe it. To be clear it wasn’t only mortgages. There was greed and deceit throughout the banking system but the fact is, all of us in one way or another looked the other way. We spent money as if nothing could happen to effect “The Dream” yet in one fell swoop that “picture” blew up and we were all faced with a difficult reality. The cobwebs and illusions cleared and the truth (and the facts) came out.

When you stand in YOUR truth, the truth finds YOU!

If you are looking for truth, as Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz “ you don’t have to look any further than your own back yard.” There’s truly no place like home. Standing in your truth doesn’t make you right and someone else wrong. It simply means you are standing in your truth, with awareness. It means following your intuition and your heart. If you are looking for truth, set your crown chakra to vibrate at truth. Stand grounded in your space. The truth will come out. The truth will find you…. it always does.~Shine Your Light Debbie

On our soul’s evolutionary path we have incarnated many lifetimes. There is a reason and purpose for why we chose this particular time to live in a physical body. We are always evolving and expanding and every lifetime is a “work in progress”.

Our divine spirits chose a physical body, specific gender and made “agreements” with our families. There are things that we wanted to experience in the physical or we would not have chosen to be born.

Choosing to take a body also includes choosing a path to fulfilling your soul’s purpose. There are many paths and the original one you chose may have changed over time. No matter which path you take you can embrace it, change direction or resist it; But regardless of changing, embracing or resisting you will complete the work you came here to do.

Your life is a work in progress and as such, you are learning, expanding and bringing energies from past lifetimes into the present. It is said that all roads lead to Rome; Well, all roads also lead you to fulfilling your soul’s purpose which includes integrating the knowledge and experience from other lifetimes into this one. In other words, we are the sum total of all those lifetimes and we are now in a time to consciously begin to integrate all that we are and all that we know from those lives and this current one.

The day-to-day challenges you face are learning experiences all of which are a part of your “work in progress“. Not because they are challenging but because they are constant reminders of what you are working on. With awareness you can choose to meet these challenges by deciding if you want your energy and attention in them (leaving no room for you to create something new), resisting them (resistance causes challenges to grow until you clear the resistance) or transcend them by reminding yourself of your inner strength of spirit and who you are.

A lot of what is experienced in the physical is about clearing energies that are not you! You are love, pure love, and you are returning to the oneness of love. The challenges you face are outside of you and each time you remember who you are, you become the creator and facilitator of your journey. Fulfilling your soul’s purpose does not just encompass only this lifetime. It may take many lifetimes both in and out of the body but each lifetime has a purpose in and of its own.

A real life example of how a work in progress grows and expands is the Il Duomo cathedral in Milan, Italy. The first stone was laid in 1386 and was completed in 1965! Even now there are uncarved stones which have yet to be completed into statues. There was a major facade renovation from February 2003 – 2009 to restore Il Duomo to its grandeur by removing centuries of grime and restoring what the elements damaged so we could once again see the colours of the Candoglia marble. Talk about a work in progress!

As a work in progress there are times you need to clear a facade to show yourself, remove the grime (energies you pick up along the way) and restore yourself to show the splendor of your being. Whether you are updating by bringing back energies “stuck” in other lifetimes or clearing concepts, untruths or programming from this lifetime it all comes down to YOU. One of the wonderful things about working with energy is that you may be able to complete some of the “hard” work sooner. Why take an entire physical lifetime when you can take charge consciously and use your time here on earth to create and ease your journey of expansion?!

There is always a process and always progress. The more you bring your energy and attention back to you, the more you move toward fulfilling your soul’s purpose. Many don’t even know what their purpose is and that’s ok, it will be revealed in its own time. Just know you have strength and fortitude to move forward on your journey. There is a purpose and you can live a life of joyful work knowing your divine spirit is progressing and expanding….or not. It’s your choice.~Shine Your Light Debbie
