I think when I 1st set this blog out, I was full of summer sun hope. Now the days are dark and short , I seem to be wallowing in a pity party or just possibly have the condition SAD going on?What comes with this pity party is a feeling that somehow I'm a fake - How can I be spiritual and talk of inner peace and calm and yet inside I'm feeling inner turmoil? How can I look after others and care for them if I don't get my own house in order? The thing Is I do want to get it in order ,dig up the foundations and re do them, but I cant see who too turn too to help me with it.
The other thought is ,how much do I disclose here before this space goes from "being in the light" to gradually standing in the dark looking into a big black gaping hole? It then self perpetuates , what you focus on is what grows doesn't it?
So how to share the whats going down here, but not the how I got here?
Whats going down? That's been a question of mine for many years , its the reason I took the road less travelled, finding a way to ride the storms I find with emotions and mind tricks. The problem is I'm having guilt in being human and not always feeling so spiritual. Guilt associated with having feelings that are less than peaceful and doing things that are basically not good for my soul, mind or my body.
I wrote the above about 7 days ago and its been a very strange time of roller coaster feelings and behaviour some days I'm surrounded by others but feel I'm in some glass box , were no one can see me or they do, but cant penetrate the surface to me inside.
In that time I have sought some help and hopefully will find some relief in that, although it may take some weeks to come about. I finally owned up to the things Ive been doing to sabotage myself to my parents and they have been checking on me every day since, I cant say more than that right now and I know I'm talking in code and being vague , but I'm holding several of my cards to chest here until I see fit to disclose more when I'm in a place to .
Ive been more open with some of the people around me, well within boundaries that is . Ive learnt some hard lessons the last few weeks ; firstly I'm learning for once In my life I don't have to tell all and sundry what I'm about and why, although unfortunately it can just come off as a vibe and secondly be careful who you share with for not everyone has the capacity for more than a surface kind of interaction and not everyone will safeguard your heart and being , not everyone wants to , and why should they.
May be this is a lesson in self forgiving , in being able to have low ebbs and know I'm still a great human being , still have something to give and still caring about others. I know some in this world will see me as flaky or a bit subdued right now, (I tell you the playground school run is trench warfare), but I know I will come through this again as I have done in the past, Ive been down further than this and come back again. I know what I'm about and if others don't see my heart and soul for what it is , then I cant do anything about that.
Despite this , some people around me have stepped up and stepped closer (whilst many have stepped away) and may be they are the main ones to concentrate on for now ,for aqquantances are fun , but when the chips are down ...................................yada yada. My work at my now closed development circle goes from strength to strength , although the good work I do , I feel, is more to do with the universal presence's/beings/spirits that help me rather than my doing.
Could all of this be a part of my re boot !??
I just want to say a thank you to the universal sources that are still with me and continue to want to work with me. I'm privileged to be able to do this work. Its what holds me in so many ways, it is as the cliche says , a lightness in the the dark . (I feel I'm making an acceptance speech, shine those oscars, theres one with my name on it!!).
Isnt it amazing how cathartic writing is.
Namaste

Oh I know EXACTLY what you are going through. Spent a long time embroiled in the battle between my lower self and evolving spiritual self, or I look at sometimes as my high school self vs my wise one.
But you're exactly right, this is a process and an ebb & flow so it is important to be kind and patient with yourself. Yes patient! (I had the hardest time with that :-)
You are evolving and growing and that also means killing an old self, letting go of people who no longer energetically mesh with you, and having the days when the lower high school self wants to be in charge just to keep you in the old comfort zone. And that's ok, as these situations are all homework assignments except it's not about getting A's, it's about actual application of what you're learning and seeing yourself get better each time. Remember Michael Phelps didn't just jump in a pool and voila Gold medalist. No, it took time which also involves falling down, messing up, and not always behaving like the wise one we wanna be, and that's OKAY ;-)
The upside in all this though is that you're not alone. New people will come into your life which is why I LOVE the internet. MUCH easier to find kindred spirits even across the pond :-)
What a lovely comment stephanie and thank you for taking the time to come onto my blog and leave it.
It is a very good way to meet kindred spirits. I think in these spaces many of us talk from the heart and its the very openess that brings others into our spaces.
Its nice to be with others on a similar path x
