You Are The Root



All the fantasy stories and imaginings you put yourself in as a child, are the closest to your history and where you come from that you will get. They are also signposts to your soul contract (your mission on earth) as the child that you were will have instinctively known and carried out actions to help you progress in the right direction for your contract. I stress that even challenging and stormy times as a child readied you for the reason you are here, incarnated. Some of it might be karma, but karma can be shed in an instant with first, awareness; and then the desire to end the karmic cycle through either action (if possible) or intent. And it is done.

Most hold on to karma because they are afraid to let it go. When you do not know who you are (free of karma, and simply free) you will hold on to old pains and familiarities because you think they define you. You think they root you. When the truth is you are already the root of the seed that grew.

"Earthbound" Spirits - What Are They Really?

Let's start by saying that anything anyone tells you about "the other side" is always going to be from their own experiences, and often beliefs will cloud experiences – as spiritual workers, we do our best not to let this happen, but it's human nature and even the most objective of us still have hidden belief structures that form who we are, and I'm no different. As always, please trust your own  experiences and intuition as they will lead you on the path that is meant for you. The below points are based solely on my experiences and understanding of the other side, and not information I have read about or repeated without having a "knowing" of it in some way. My definition of earthbound spirits are human souls who, for whatever reason, have not crossed over to the other side yet after having died – call the other side whatever you like: the Afterlife, the Summerlands, the Otherworld, Heaven, whatever. Out of everyone who dies, very, very, very few remain...

Let the Dead Rest

Don't disturb the dead. Don't walk across graves. Let the dead rest. From ever since I can remember, these were phrases I heard or were told – I'm not sure why. I don't disagree with the principle, but why did I hear this so much? Was it because I loved graveyards? Was it because my family's background was Roman Catholic? As a young child I used to sing and play the guitar in a few churches every now and then. I loved  graveyards; they were so peaceful and I never once felt scared or intimidated being in one. I never thought I was disturbing the dead when I played in graveyards because I did not feel spirits (specifically those of humans who had passed) hung around in graveyards. In fact, graveyards were among the places my mind felt quiet and my heart felt light. The beach is the other place I experience such lightness. Don't disturb the dead. Don't walk across graves. Let the dead rest. I attribute these words and this philosophy – combined with my warine...

Rose of the Winds

It would not be  entirely   true to say I have never felt like I belong here. I always knew I was supposed to be here on Earth, incarnated. I always had a strong sense of my "mission" or "purpose", although I couldn't always put it into words. When I say "always", I mean it  –  always. Ever since I was little and dreamt my first dream. It  would  be accurate to say that I always felt like I belonged to a higher being  –  call it Great Spirit, or God, or whatever. I never had an actual name for "it". I always knew my true home was not here, and I would return to home  –  wherever it was  –  one day. I always knew I never "belonged" to my mother  –  she was a valuable guide and nurturer, but not "home"  –  and I never really felt like I had a father because I always remembered meeting the man who became my father  –  a lovely man, but distant. A bit "stiff upper lip". Very quiet. Hard to talk to. My ...
