It's Your Life, See it Your Way!

What sort of vision do you reside within?
What vision is in your future...or should I say, are you in in your future?
We are not able to have a vision for life without at some level seeing our place in it. So, the question for you today is...Where you are now in life?....Did you envision this for yourself? Be honest. Living in the world we envisioned is not always us getting our perfect world. What do you spend your time and energy seeing and knowing about the world.
That is what you envision. Where your energy goes to, your state of consciousness, this is what you're 'envisioning'.

Say we dream of a world where people all get along and we have abundance & vibrant health BUT our day to day thoughts and feelings about our now reality are, people suck, everyone is so negative! The oil spill is going to wipe out tons of people & what it doesn't get, tsunami's and earthquakes will. The Government is not doing their job and terrorists are taking over!

Some day....(la la la la laaaa) things will be better because I know that my dream will come true :*) Well my friend.....What you just fed real energy to was your prominent, deep down thought patterns. The dreamy stuff floats on top and the day to day thought process runs the computer or being that you are. This is what's directing your energy,
not the pretty little words and fleeting day dreams.

Maintaining a positive, uplifting state of consciousness can be intense & messy work. We are without a doubt swimming upstream at times. It can be beautiful. This road less traveled
is wonderful! It's easy to get caught up in the pretty little sayings and motto's. Think about it. The road less traveled means there are bumps, snakes and rocks yet to be cleared since the masses haven't been there to trample everything. Challenging? Yes! If you're truly a person who would choose the road less traveled, rocks & snakes are wonderful to experience. We see things differently than most. We see the beauty in the rocks, talk to them and learn from them even.

I once had a 3 and a half hour visit with the lava at Sunset Crater in Az.
It was one of the best times I can remember. We laughed and healed one another. I chanted for it and in the process the Elk & raven sang back to me. Amazing!
This is the world that I envision!

Where do your boundaries lie when you envision your life, experiences and future?
(No liner time, so here's a wild monkey wrench in your day),
The future you envision is already happening & the past you envisioned is also happening all at once, (Quantum Physics and all). Beware your real thoughts and feelings though because it's not what you show people on the surface that counts. It's what you feel inside and do when no one is looking because that's WHO YOU ARE. That's the part that you shift and work on. Trust me, no one was looking when I hung out with the Lava. Probably a really good thing!

Yet another wake-up call for you. The past we spoke of, if you open yourself up to it you can envision any sort of past you want. For instance, I know a woman who's past was littered with what some would see as negative experiences. Abuse of all kinds from many different people in her family, kidnapped and raped, almost murdered in that experience, many very unpleasant things I wouldn't even speak of here. The list goes on and on though. At one point in her life she was in therapy and hospitals to 'work through' these things. The doctors told her they'd never seen anyone with the extent of negative experiences who'd lived through it. They asked her to please, please write a book if she made it through and out the other side. Even in the dark places she'd been flung into she chose always to push for the light. To not allow the doctors and therapists convince her it was all so horrible.

You see, as she stated the
facts of her experience, the people listening would envision it according to their own concepts and state of consciousness. They envisioned an entirely different past than she did even though the facts were all the same. Had she given in to them telling her how horrible it was and that no one could have survived that and go on to lead a happy, productive life, she wouldn't be writing this for you now.

No matter what path you are lead along. there is always a balance of light and darkness. Sometimes one is harder to see than the other but the balance is there. So, we need only to look back along the paths we've been blessed with and as we remember our experiences, choose to look at the bright aspects of it.
Looking on the bright side takes on a much deeper meaning when we take it to this level.

As I looked back over the path they were convinced should have ruined me, I saw the sides of the abusers that were not dark. Of course I was keenly aware of the fact that they had done many dishonorable things in my time with them, but why focus on
only that. They did have more pleasant sides as well. I chose to carry those with me and release the other experiences. Now, balance...I didn't kid myself by ignoring the negative or darker part of them. No need to continue the abuse. However, if I was to take energy from those situations why not have it be the music, art, intelligence, and so on. It makes it so much easier to release the dark energy that lingers if I choose to retain the light that was also there.

Our past, present & future are all just like a prism. You hold it up in one spot. The facts of what's on the other side doesn't change but as you shift your perspective what you view & experience does.

Sharks Eye View

People often tell me how strong I am. I have handled a great deal in my life as have many others who read this no doubt. Last night I watched a show on research being done to protect sharks. They were working to get DNA samples from these beautiful creatures. This entailed them having to pull sharks onto the boat, (no hooks involved), get their sample, tag the shark then set them free. As they attempted this, the sharks were, of course, unaware of their desire to be of service. They fought back with everything they had. Resisting to the point of complete exhaustion. The stronger the shark, the longer the fight. This made me wonder...how often do I do this.

How often is the Universe reaching out to try and help me but because I am unaware of the real motives or potential behind what's happening, I fight back with all I've got? Because I am strong I seem to fight harder and longer than if I were not so strong. So I find myself wondering, when is 'inner strength' really just us standing in our own way?

Because I am the resident mystic you probably expect me to have the answer to this?

Wrong, this is simply a random thought I now contemplate through out my day.

A glimpse into the life of lady behind the Mystic Truth. To gain insight one must be utterly clueless realize this & become uncomfortable with that feeling. To gain the mystic life one must be clueless & uncomfortable a great deal of the time.....over & over again.......silliness really.

Wisdom & inner strength or Clueless & incredibly stubborn....?

Nearly interchangeable in our world of duality it seems.

Of course we're free to see it in whatever light we choose.

A work in progress for me in my life & a little something for you to ponder should you find it an interesting thought.


Love, & light always,

Your Mystic Lady
