Having the space to conquer

Jacqui Ray/Luminous Wisdom SOPHIA

I have a mammoth task of looking out at the world right now. The world that knows better, the world that can see the monumental task ahead when light fills a room. We all want to be a light that shines brightly, we want that light to guide us in a direction of faith, healing and love. We want that love to shine with in us, we want our world to be a beacon of strength.

 I went to the supermarket this morning in the hope of finding something small I could consume. Something that would give me a lift to conquer the rest of the day. Everyone was calm, there were no screaming hysterias and people fleeing with the last shreds of toilet paper. There was an overwhelming sense that maybe we could get through this shopping experience in a more positive light. We gave each other space; we walked the isles like there was no worry in the world. I allowed the lady standing at the registers to take my place, she was only buying a newspaper. I was overwhelmed with love. This woman was not part of the hysteria. She was just buying a paper. She looked at me with a smile that made my day. She wished me well and she went off on her merry way.

How can people show that side of them and others are in agony? Showing a softer side in humanity brings out the splendour of life. I have just started a new job in childcare. I have manifested a job I so desperately wanted. A job where I could be at reception and lead by example, show a more tolerable way of life. We started this week all together. A group of women that had not met before, a group of women that have one thing in common, decency. Our training this week has taught us about values. About what we are wanting in life. About what we are wanting to achieve. Values hold a special place in my heart, it shows what you can truly achieve. It shows the heart of a person. A person that can lead by example and bring a little smile to oneself. A smile can uplift a room. A smile can champion the next person to generate more love and accomplishment where they stand.

We all walked out of the training with our eyes open more to the world. We were in our own cocoon. In that room, there was trust. There was that sense of belonging, of knowing that we were all having that concept that life can take us on ups and downs. It can lead us to a road of sentiment, a road of upheaval, a road of selfishness or a road of looking ahead with the bravo that we all need. We have forged a bond that will take us higher in the months to come. A new day dawns and we are ready to battle the demons all together.

Years mark the day

YEARS MARK THE DAY By Jacqui Ray We were celebrating another milestone with our marriage, another year passed with unrelinquished misery as my husband would say. I know he was joking but deep down were we still compatible? Most years we would forget our wedding anniversary or anything else that resembled a major point in our lives. People make out dates to be so important, I am not sure if this was a sticking point in our relationship. Did it really matter if we did not celebrate our wedding anniversary? Did it really matter if we did not wear our wedding rings? People get so caught up in the expectations of what others think. It is not what he does for me but how he does it. My husband may not jump for joy on certain days when I am wanting him too but that is how he is. Don’t change a person just because you want them changed, there has to be a need for change and direction to wonder how these factors affect a relationship. We bot...

Forgiving and forgetting.

Many times in your life there are people that hold a very special place in your heart. Cutting cords is something I have never thought about until I started my spiritual journey. Do you have a friend you have known all your life? Do you keep the friendship going because you have known them forever? You might grow apart and distance yourself, but that nagging feeling keeps you in that friendship circle.   Cutting cords is hard with blood relatives and friendships, but are they serving you? Is it time to relinquish the guilt and subservience of their friendship and know that the time has come to think about yourself first? Do you need them in your life? Start with that, think about what happiness they bring to you. Think about if they are there for you when you need someone to call on or are they just a fair-weather friend? Spiritualism has no bounds with the way we are when someone is hurting you. You may just be a shoulder for somebody to use and abuse yo...

Worldly possibilities

How many people wonder what life has in store for them? Are there certain destinies to behold or how do I put it, explanations in life that cannot be told? For I am one of those people that judged and belittled what was not my belief. Somehow that made sense to me and spiritual reclusiveness was part of the package for me. My life consisted of having a wonderful upbringing, living in the suburbs of Melbourne with my family and enjoying the simple things in life. I was not a religious person nor was my family. Pretty much Atheism was what we all believed in. I did attend an Anglican school for my education but was not aware of how religion would play a part in the school curriculum. During Religious Education, I remember being perplexed and bored. I would not listen and hardly remember anything that my teacher taught me.      If I had been brought up in a different family with religious beliefs, then maybe there would be a different outcome.
