Sent an email to a friend and it felt like the perfect place to begin the conversations with US...
Stasia Bliss and I (Terra Bundance) have had some really great conversations with Universal Source, Affectionately called US... We have been called to share some of those conversations and other communications we have with each other, with our journals, and with others....
So, here is the email I sent to my friend:
I am wondering if you are willing to try something new...? Imagine that EVERYthing that happens to you is super cool and fantastical...
It's all about the Journey... NEVER the destination. Whatever you expect will show up in ways you do not expect... :)
YOU are the Divine creator of your reality. YOU have the ability to show yourself the way. You (on some level) are not deeply as "ready" as you think you want to be. You are ready for the subtle things, and wishing to be ready for more obvious things. But until you recognize the subtle as an initiation of sorts to the obvious, you will miss the obvious!! Mostly because the obvious is actually subtle to those who have shifted their viewpoint to recognize EVERYthing as Divine... :) The "subtle" IS the obvious!!! Always!!!
I will share a moment of awareness I had on my journey of recognizing the subtle as the obvious... I was on my Vision Quest several years ago. "alone" and sitting in my space, I noticed how many mosquitoes there were around me... I was in south GA in the early Summer and it was CRAZY how humid and "uncomfortable" it was. I had a wool blanket to cover myself with (which I quickly discovered I was allergic to... so each time I would cover myself to hide from the incessant mosquitoes, I would have a reaction to the blanket.... plus, sweating under a wool blanket in the south in the summer.... yuck!!!) :) (Do you have some idea of where I might be going with this???)
I thought, "this is crazy! I have to learn to connect with the mosquitoes and this blanket or suffer here for two full days!!" After about 24 hours of going back and forth between mosquitoes and an allergic reaction to the wool blanket, I surrendered. I kept waiting for someone to walk in and start talking to me.... Or, a voice in my head to tell me something profound... I had fasted for several days before the VQ, and had no water or food with me for two days out there... I started the VQ with two rounds in a Lodge (hot and sweaty), and ended it the same way... two rounds of Lodge... And then, I had to share with the people what I had gained... What I had learned from my time out there.
I honestly don't even remember what I said. I was in such an altered state, all I remember is that EVERYONE around me was shifting!!! My dad was crying and talking to my "Uncle" (The one who led my Vision Quest) about how he had been afraid for me when I was a teenager... My brother was crying and hugging me... My second husband (who I had already divorced) was one of my support people... he and my brother were talking about how "crazy I used to be" ;).... My parents and I had only started talking a couple months before this VQ after three months of not talking... The boyfriend I was dating who was also at the VQ decided a week later he was gay and needed to step into his true self... I watched "What the Bleep Do We Know" a week and a day later with my mom and dad at the movie theater...
Anyway, all of the stuff happening was not really "weird, odd, unusual, crazy, strange", but they were all things only a year before I was praying/wishing/dreaming for. Here they were, happening as if in a surreal dream right in front of me because I made an unconscious/conscious choice to go out and sit with mosquitoes for two days...
Those mosquitoes were the most powerful messengers I have had the privilege to commune with. They were the "change bringers", the "life shifters", the "support Guides" I had prayed for but NEVER would have thought to ask for specifically. :) They represented the "irritations of life I had to surrender to"... Once I did, all of life around me changed.... Looking at it in the moment, I would not have wanted to fully admit "THEY" were my messengers!!! Mosquitoes??!?!! What??? No way!!! :) And yet, only a few hours later, I was dawning on the awareness which allowed for more awareness, which opened me to more.... and here I am today telling you about it....
NEVER underestimate the power of subtle messages... They will be the most profound awarenesses in hindsight. I am able to recognize the obvious within the subtlety as often as I can now... more and more every moment.
Hi Terra, thanks for sharing this wonderfull story.
ReplyDeleteFor me the subtle messages are in the things I resist doing or the places I don't want to go , than ( when doing or going) suddenly there is this understanding or that one person that sayes something I need to hear at that perticular moment.......and this is exactly what I needed to hear this moment..............
