Going Through The Opening

August 28, 2009Going through the OpeningContracting before ExpandingSometimes our lives contract before they expand. We may be working hard on ourselves spiritually, doing good in the world, following our dreams, and wondering why we are still facing constrictions of all kinds—financial, emotional, physical. Perhaps we even feel as if we’ve lost our spirituality and are stuck in a dark room with no windows. We may be confused and discouraged by what appears to be a lack of progress. But sometimes this is the way things work. Like a caterpillar that confines itself to a tiny cocoon before it grows wings and flies, we are experiencing the darkness before the dawn.When things feel tight, it’s easy to panic or want to act in some way to ease the feeling of constriction. We might also spin our wheels mentally, trying to understand why things are the way they are. However, there is nothing we need to do at this time other than to be patient and persevering. We can cling to the awareness that we are processing the shift from one stage to another, and the more we surrender to the experience, the more quickly we will move through the tightness into the opening on the other side. Just like a baby making its way down the birth canal, we may feel squeezed and pushed and very uncomfortable, but if we remember that we are on our way to being born into a new reality, we will find the strength to carry on.Even as we endure the contractions, we can find peace within ourselves if we remember to trust the universe. We can look to the natural world for inspiration as we see that all beings surrender to the process of being born. In that surrender, and in the center of our own hearts, is a willingness to trust in the unknown as we make our way through the opening.The Daily Om

"Actually, Vlada. The latest emails released by the DOJ clarify the Elon situation perfectly. He was in contact with Epstein in 2012-2013 mostly about SpaceX tours and he asked what day would be the wildest party on the island, but specifically…"

Drekx Omega replied to Malcolm's discussion Epstein Claimed to be Hiding in Israel ... Is this him or is it just another Israeli citizen?
"Correct, Movella. Definitely a fake photo, spliced together. All three men are unnaturally close, as they walk...They would be tripping over each other, if it were real...And "Epstein" plus their legs are so unprofessionally spliced...I've heard of…"

"Confirmed by the fact that if you look closely, it looks as if the man in the grey jacket is walking through ‘Epstein’. Just look at the terrible editing of their legs basically all tripping over each other lol."
