Just A little Reminder...

I found this today, when I was flipping through an old Notebook, looking for old Reiki Class notes to transfer to a new book. I had written it a few months back, in one of those, YOU NEED TO WRITE THIS DOWN moments that routinely happen when the Universe has something to say, through me. It's re-discovery comes at the ideal time, just when I need some reminding to keep my spirits up.

Anger will Flow Over Me, But not Touch Me.
Fear will Move Through Me, But not Limit Me.
Hate and Prejudice will Not be Given Ground Within My Heart.
LOVE will be Me, as I shall be LOVE.

Finding Your Truth

There have been mand questions, flying around in my energy, and my mind, consuming my thoughts, for a while. What is the journey I am on? How do I comprehend the 'point' of my existance?  Is there even a point to my existance? How do you know what's 'right' and what's 'wrong'? I have narrowed all these questions down to one simple, yet complex question:
WHAT IS YOUR TRUTH?
I have realized that the answer to this question is different in every single person. Some people, as for example a new friend of mine, believe that the truth is found through Christ, that he, and god, are the answer to all. Others believe that Science, medicine and technology show you the truth. Others, like myself, believe that the truth lies in the beauty, balance and paradox of the universe. Although some people's answers to this may run parralel to each other, each one is still swayed by preception, and in that alone, they all are amazingly and beautifully, different. You must remember that there is no 'Right' or 'Wrong' Truth, for each being has their own Truth. As long as you are completely and amazingly honest, brutally honest in all things, then you are the only one who can truly define your TRUTH.
Finding your truth may be your journey for this life time, or perhaps your journey is living your truth. For some people their journey is simply discovering that there is a truth.
For me, and I'm sure for many people, the truth is not an easy thing to find. There are so many roads and paths and hills to walk, and walk and walk and walk. (and keep walking). It is an amzingly lonely and sometimes difficult journey, one where you have little idea where you will end up, or how you are going to get there. But this journey is not without hope. In your life you will meet many guides, presented by the universe, to you, as aids on your journey. These guides will not always be nice, friendly and encouraging signs that say "Yes, that's it, keep going!" no, more often then not these guides will be hard, trying events that leave you bloodly, sweaty and disoriented. Completely  ready to throw in the towel. They test your resolve, seemingly to ask the question, repeatedly, and loudly, ARE YOU SURE THIS IS YOUR TRUTH? if your answer is, eventually, a loud resounding NO, then you need to keep searching, for that was not your truth...These guides will question your honesty, until you discover your own naked, vulnerable and true TRUTH. But if, in your heart, and soul, in the very center of your being, you are answering with a loud resounding YES, then without hesitation, you will keep walking, keep pulling, and keep moving, the guide will find you worthy and you will be left with your faith, shaken to the roots, but holding stronger then ever, for in YOUR truth, there is no resolve, there is only love.
You will meet guides that will, for one fleeting second, give you just enough strength to carry on, these are the glimpses of beauty and strength and courage that keep us going, tell us not to give up. You will meet guides who will come into your lives and push you in the right direction, these are the trials, the tests and the tribulations. You will meet guides who will anchor your journey, who will be your rock and your strength, ones who will remain when all else has failed you, until you are ready to take the next step without them.
Guides are not always people, although they can be. They can be people we know, or people that we had no idea existed until we happen to chance upon them. They can be animals, events, thoughts, energy, even the weather, guides can be anything and anyone and can happen into your lives at any moment, only when you need them. Guides will not hand you anything that you cannot handle, but rather, the way we CHOOSE to handle them can be our strengthening, or our undoing. It is up to you. The universe will show you your path, but you must be open and willing to listen.
