Wisdom of the Week – Motherhood

This week we saw photographs published by J Henry Fair. His ‘Spectacular aerial images show the devastation man has wreaked on America.

Pollution is exposed on a massive scale, creating striking vivid colours that highlight the scars of spillages, open cast mining, chemical and oil leaks, industrial decay and deforestation’. 1 

 

Stored sulphur is dramatically veined by a blood-red polluted river at Fort McMurray.

A pond swirled with the world's most widely used herbicide, which is manufactured in nearby Luling, Texas.

 

The shocking red colour marks where the earth has been scarred by Bauxite waste from aluminium production, which contains significant amounts of heavy metal contamination. Pictured at Darrow, Louisiana.

 

 

Swirls are oil from BP's Deepwater Horizon spills at the Gulf Macondo well as it floats on the Gulf of Mexico.

On a positive note, I was moved to see photographs of a gorilla and her offspring. It reminded me how motherhood is relative to our stage of spiritual development and is an ever-changing process.

When we are children, we learn the lesson of trust. Later as a parent we have the opportunity to develop unconditional love.

 

So what happens once we master this?

There is another love which we must also learn. It is a state of ‘Oneness.’ It embraces everything around us and asks that we love and honour the Mother of our Earth and all that exists within Her.

The list is a long one and extends to every living creature including every leaf and rock. You may think this is too much to expect of anyone. To many the Earth is just a soulless supply of resources to exploit, but this could not be further from the truth. Once we learn to truly honour our Earth we can then extend this love to our Universe and then to the Cosmos, which is all of creation.

I promised some dear friends this weekend that I would discuss healing which is also related to what I have to say on motherhood. They have a friend who is ill and they wished to be reminded of how we can give healing to those we love. Healing is given always from the heart. It is from here your heart chakra radiates love. Ask for healing, imagine it and be grateful for the healing you have received and given. We can also send healing to our Earth itself. Source does not intend us to be victims on our planet, waiting to endure disaster or experience joy, depending on good or bad luck. We are encouraged to be Masters, creating a future of happiness and fulfilment based on our actions and thoughts.

My illustration below is from a story about how a child heals his grandmother and illustrates this power of healing, which we all have within us. In this poem Father Christmas helps a little boy to realise the magic he has within him. It reminds us that motherhood extends beyond the parent and its child and is the process of caring for those who are in need of our support. Our ever-caring Mother Earth is also now in need of healing. When we are children we act irresponsibly because we know no better and we look to our parents for guidance. But we must now expand our sense of motherhood to the Mother of our Earth and act as adults in order to sustain a future for our children. This is the state of 'Oneness'.

Our human mother once marvelled at us when we were first born. Yet our Great Mother – Gaia does this still. Remember from where we came and spare a thought for our Mother of our Earth. A Mother who loves us dearly, asks for nothing – yet gives us the ‘World’.

Wisdom of the Week – Companionship

2011 is a magical year. This year means we will no longer be in a relationship that does not fulfil our soul purpose.
This week I took the plunge and opened a Facebook account. What pleased me was to see friends who had found companionship, even though they feared a future of loneliness.
Before we are born we choose our life’s lessons and the souls we wish to spend time with, in order to develop. These souls are people who have often been with us in a past life. It may be we have unfinished business, or from past experience we believe them to be the best people to help us move forward spiritually. The twist is we also choose people we consider to be our enemies. These are probably the most difficult tests for us, which is why someone we dislike should be viewed as our teacher, rather than a nuisance. 

So why do relationships break down? 
There are several reasons. But generally they are based on the need for us to change and learn what we have agreed. If we are not doing this with our present partner, then we will be removed from that relationship. However, tolerance and forgiveness can help us emotionally override a departure from a relationship.
Tolerance is not enduring unacceptable behaviour and boycotting self-worth. It means understanding the limitations of others and guiding them when they are in need of help. 

So what about those of us who would like to be in a relationship but are not? 
Again there are several reasons for this. We may still need to learn the lesson of self-worth or independence. If we lack these qualities, we will attract people who will either try to bully or control us. This is not healthy for either party. Sometimes we will find ourselves in such relationships to learn lessons. But our higher selves have agreed this at a higher soul level. We can of course at anytime decide to change the way we are being treated and move forward. Remembering we have free choice is very important.

There is of course one friend of whom we are often unaware. This friend knows everything about us and will help us more than we can possibly imagine, but we have to ask them. It is our guardian angel. Our angel is present at our birth and when we pass over. They keep our karmic records and can give us guidance that will always be for the higher good.
Angelic love is unconditional. Even though we may choose not to believe in them, they will still love us. It is this love we will eventually learn. The sacred bond we have with our partner where we practice kindness and forgiveness, is a start. Eventually we will master such feelings and extend this special love to all mankind and beyond.
Learning to speak to our guardian angel is not as difficult as you may think. We are all of spirit and therefore, we all have the ability to be psychic and connect with the Angelic Kingdom. 

My illustration above is for a poem taken from my book ‘The Second Sparky Book of Hours,’ called, ‘Talking to your Angel’. The poem may help you with this process of communication. It involves trust and the process of asking. Don’t be afraid or be tempted to feel stupid. After all, there is no better way to demonstrate your courage by believing without seeing, than to honour a loyal and loving friend.

Wisdom of the Week – Intentions

Lucian Eyers © 2010

A friend of mine who has been living in North America for some years recently emailed me regarding the anniversary of 9/11.  After mentioning how tragic it was, he then proceeded to enclose photographs of his gun collection and of he and his partner shooting on a rifle range. I resisted giving him my views on why 9/11 happened, but said, “Try to give up the guns if you can. There is much karmic debt that America will have to repay regarding these. Shooting themselves and others will sadly be the consequence.”

His response included more pictures of himself and his girlfriend, this time on a pistol range. Also his email was almost unreadable, even scrambled, except for the odd sentence, which was for example, “…inner city kids, illegal guns are unfortunately a part of their every day life…”

 It would seem my friend considers himself to be a victim of circumstance rather than an ambassador for change. 

So why was most of the text in his email unreadable?
When our thoughts and actions are filled with good intentions, the angels and the Universe support us. However, when we subject ourselves to fear and a lack of trust, our misguided efforts are hampered.
If the American public anticipate danger and so the need to protect themselves, they will then attract these scenarios. However, if their intention is to use guns in order to feed themselves and not to kill birds and animals for sport, then karmic debt will not be accrued.
My friend has emailed me many times. The cynically minded may say there was a technical reason why the text was unreadable. Nothing happens without reason and it is clear to me, the content of the email was attempting to excuse a practice which is universally unacceptable.
The American constitution allows citizens the right to bear arms and protect themselves. This could involve shooting another human being if they feel threatened. According to the laws of the Universe this is wrong. None of us have the right to kill another person in any circumstance. Until that lesson is learnt, many people in America with other nations who support the right to bear arms, will suffer much distress.
My picture above is taken from my book ‘The Angel Book of Hours,’ and is the second part of my poem entitled ‘Trilogy of a Soldier’ – this second part is named, ‘The Mirror.’ The poem shows that people’s actions are a reflection of what we think of them. In order to bring out the best in others we must change the way we view them. Therefore keeping our intentions pure is an essential start.
 If we can think of the needy and the desperate as souls who need help rather than focusing on their potential to harm us, then the world suddenly becomes a beautiful place.
