Three Eagles

I am kicking myself for not being able to photograph the most magnificent flight of three eagles as they flew by my place mid-afternoon yesterday.  I grabbed my camera, not realizing the cap was still on the lens, so by the time I had it positioned and was clicking away, I was able only to capture two of them, and at that, individually.

Seeing the eagle whom I’ve called “Earl” do fly-bys is a daily occurrence for me.  It has been going on for well over a year now.  At first it was perhaps once a month I would catch a glimpse of him and now it is more frequent; sometimes daily. There was one day that I swear his wings almost touched my balcony, he was that close.  And, of course running back in to grab the camera…didn’t do me any good!

So, now I’ve seen three of them; perhaps a family, relatives? 

Does seeing three eagles have some symbolic meaning?  Certainly the eagle is a power animal and different cultures have different meanings for the eagle.

In looking it up on the internet I came across a writing that says (and I want to embrace this) that it means:

 “flying high spiritually – you are getting higher and higher in the spiritual aspect”! 

The information also provides that,

the number 3 is a holy number.

which I was aware of; e.g. in religion there is the Holy Trinity, etc.

Given my recent lot of postings and writings, which are indeed “other worldly”, perhaps this is yet another confirmation from my Spiritual guide(s) that I am on the right “flight path” so to speak.

If there are any native americans reading this blog with more insight or who have come to know me and can personally clarify this further, or simply affirm what I’ve read as an interpretation…it would be very much appreciated.

But, like I said, I choose to embrace the interpretation that was brought to me when I made the query on the internet – I like it!

The Closed Door

Have you ever come upon a locked and closed door that has been a part of your entire life, a very real part of you – and until that moment you were totally unaware that it existed?

Well, that revelation just came to me this morning.  In my meditation time, thinking about life and the next lap of this human journey; seeking affirmation of what it is I am doing and how I will continue to make my way and meet the needs of human existence, a totally unexpected revelation came to me in the form of a door to a room that I didn’t even know existed.

All of life – its answers and questions – can be found within the individual.  You need only knock and the door will be opened; seek and you will find; ask and the answer will be given.  I was not expecting what came to me this morning.

As always, my query is, “Lord, what exactly is my purpose in life?  What is it that I am to do or to be at this time of my life?”  Of course, I had expectations of how the answer would go:  i.e. continue writing for I am a writer (as always with the wondering and ongoing question, or should I say doubt, “But will I make enough money to live?”), a healer, etc.  The point is, my “self answers” are always about doing something, not being.

Well, I came upon this door that seemed to be nailed shut and as soon as it got opened I saw it was dark, musty and looked like it had never been lived in; like it had been shut up almost since my birth, and I asked, “What is this?  What is this room?”  Looking about I saw nothing but a big empty room and looking ahead and down a hallway it appeared to have no end to it.  There seemed to be a single wooden table, but nothing else in it and I wondered what the room was all about.

The answer I was given was that, “You want to love and to be loved.”  That is your quest and that is your purpose.  It’s not just about one-on-one relationship, but about a love that has no boundaries and no criteria.  It is simply about being love, a love that cannot be defined nor is it restrictive and has no boundaries.

I also saw that this is the moment I have been prepared for, as I stopped seeking that one-on-one love relationship with another a long time ago.  I recalled my words in prayer one morning (a life time ago), “Lord, if I am to be yours alone, then take away this desire for another in my life.”

I was told that I had stopped seeking that other half, that I knew my completeness in and of myself, and that in that moment when one stops seeking, one finds.  Strange isn’t it.

I am not here to tell you that I’ve found that special person to journey with; that this revelation came to me because that person is already in my life.  I am only saying that the message I received was that the time is right, the preparation complete and that the person is also ready and the moment is now.  I even have a name.

But, back to this room.  It appears something happened in my early childhood that taught me I was unloveable and not worthy of love, and so I shut that door; not only shut it, but I nailed it shut and boarded it up so that no one, not even my husband, could enter in – but worst of all, not even I could enter in and find love.

Love isn’t about lust, it is about being in someone’s presence and just being – or so I think.  I don’t think there are words that can describe that kind of love; if there are, I can’t because I know I’ve never experienced it for myself.  It has always been conditional, both receiving and giving, and I know that this is not the Love that is the Oneness of life.

So there you have it.  A locked and boarded up room has been unlocked and the door opened allowing the fresh spring air in to clear out the cobwebs and dust that has accumulated.

Perhaps this is what the asymptomatic pains in my chest have been for well over a year – chest pains caused by a heart that feels like it will explode if it does not get expressed; a build up of love, so to speak, that needs to find expression in the beauty of this world and universe we live in.

P.S. @ 10 a.m. – The above post was written at around 7:30 a.m. today.  I just read the following in the “RA” book:

Become aware of His Desire (the Creator), and when you know this desire you will know your own, for you and your Creator are one, and you are one with all of His parts and, therefore, all of your fellow beings throughout all of the creaton.  His desire you will feel it.  There will be no more confusion. … You will have found LOVE, for this is the desire of your Creator:  that all of His parts express and experience the LOVE  that created you.  This may be found simply, in meditation.

P.P.S.:  My original blog was posted as a result of revelation provided in meditation. Then hours later, I pick up a book and read the exact same thing.

Confusion is Lifting

If you have not already done so, might I suggest that you read two earlier posts; one this week on October 5, 2011, called “Con-Fused Thinking” and another posted on September 11, 2011 (interesting date 11-9-11) called “One”.  It will give you a basis for this blog.

Some time ago I ordered a book, and I absolutely cannot recall why I ordered it.  It is not something I’d normally read, and apparently it was out-of-stock and so was not delivered until Monday of this week.  I picked it up to read last evening (October 7, 2011) and wish to share with you what knocked my socks off, especially in light of my Con-fused Thinking posting on October 5th, and this morning, only really seeing the full name of the book:  The Law of One:  Book 1 – The Ra Material.  Not all of you will relate – especially if you are of the mindset that we human beings (which brings to mind the question, “If we are called human beings, then that must mean there are other kinds of beings, doesn’t it?) are it – the sum and substance of all living intelligent beings; that the flesh walking about on planet earth is it, and that we are all human and there is no other intelligent life.

If, on the other hand, you (like I) believe that there is other life “out there” on the multitude of other planets, suns and stars…then you will not find this hard to digest, and perhaps will be as excited as I was to read, what for me was an affirmation of that con-fusing post I did, and also ties in nicely with this business of all being One.

As background, keep in mind: 

  • (1) these conversational transcripts are accumulated in this book that was published in 1984; some 27 years ago!; and,
  • (2) the quotes I am providing come from Ra, this extra-terrestial being who is communicating with the authors and others whose material is published in this book.

We have been contacting people on planet Earth for many, many of your years. … For this my friends is how contacts work.  It is first necessary, if the entity is to be able to receive our contact, for him to become of a certain vibraton as a result of his thinking.  This is greatly speeded by involvement in groups such as this.  And then it is finally done through meditation.  In other words, the verbal communications given to the entity by the channels such as this one create a system of thought and a desire for spiritual awareness that raises his vibration.

I bolded the words “desire for spiritual” awareness, because this has been the driving force in my quest and journey these days; to know that I know…and it has caused me to discard and shed so much of what I thought was truth, reality and all that kind of stuff.  It has caused, for me, such a degree of separation from those with whom I’ve journeyed over the years, that it has indeed been a lonely time, and yet, I continued.

Ra continues explaining who he is,

We of the Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator ….

and explains why they don’t just step out upon the earth,

This my friends … be a very great disservice to those who do not desire our service at this time, and we are afraid we would have little effect in bringing understanding even to those who desire it, for understanding, my friends, comes from within.  We can only guide.  We can only suggest.  We are attempting to do this in such a way that the seeking of the individual will be stimulated to turning his thinking inward, inward to that singel source of LOVE and understanding, The Creator, that is part of us all, part of everything that exists, for everything that exists, my friends, is the Creator.

Now, if you’ve read my blog of October 5th, you will understand why my socks got knocked off – heck, if you’ve even just read the title of the blog, you will understand. Ra continues on saing,

 

For this is a very great time, a great transitional period [Note:  please keep in mind that these material is from almost 30 years ago!], in wich many of the Earth’s people will be raised from their state of CONFUSION to a simple understanding:  the love of the Creator.

So, there you have it my friends.  The tying together and affirmation of my earlier writings.  It’s like someone is telling me, “It’s okay.  You’re on track.”

Con-Fused Thinking

Had another enlightened moment this morning.

Was thinking about what I think about these days; about a discussion with one of my brothers and how I was glad I’d not published some things I’d written, and when asked why I told him it was because I no longer ‘thought’ the same or believed some of the things I had written.  That got me to thinking about my current writings; will I no longer feel the same when it comes time to publish, after I’ve done the editing?  I am confused to say the least, but know that living is always evolving, changing, learning, re-learning and un-learning. 

Was thinking, I have no idea what I’ll be thinking tomorrow.  Even the time since my first thoughts at 5 this morning (some 14 hours ago) my thinking has changed, my thoughts are different; what I thought was an absolute is now just a maybe.

Was thinking about life in general, the good and bad news; the NY City Wall Street parades, the economic fluctuations, the wars and all of that other confusion that engulfs us no matter where in this world we happen to life.  No one is immune to confusion.

Was thinking of my conviction that we are indeed One; that we all are from the same source; that we all are related; that all our relatives past and to come…we all exist as One – but we are segregated separated by this thing we call time; linear time.

Was thinking about this Oneness and about this Confusion that seems to be the source of our separateness….and then it struck me – con-fusion.  We know that fusion is the melding together of something into a thing, a whole; ergo con-fusion is like anti-fusion – thus separates and segregates.

Thus…concluded the source of all of the world’s woes is this utterly chaotic confusion and if we could fuse together in our Oneness…our 6th and 7th and nth degrees of separation would cease…

And the world would be as One…no more con-fusion; simply fusion.

Am thinking, could what’s coming down the pipeline…this 2012 thing…be something to help us along the way in fusing our oneness, our ideas….

Been thinking… is all.
