More

We all classify ourselves as not one thing but many;  for example we may be a parent, a son/daughter, niece/nephew, aunt/uncle, friend, colleague, neighbour, carer, lover etc. 
If you were to take a pen and paper and list all the labels you use to describe yourself now, how long would the list be?  

But these words are just external labels if you were to continue and create a new list with labels for what you consider to be the inner true you, how long would this list be?

Now you have at least two lists of words.  But they are just words they aren't you, there is more to you than just labels.  You could add to your lists daily but they would still not even represent a fraction of who/what you are.  

We have been taught to classify and separate ourselves into measurable boxes to fit in with our social idea of where we fit in our lives and the lives of those around us.  As a child you were told 'what a beautiful little girl you were' or 'what a cheeky little chap you were' and our parents unwittingly guided us on by using comments like; 'if you work hard and do all your homework you too can be a great .....', 'If you want to be a doctor then you will need to spend your time reading lots of books and studying hard,', 'if you join the local football team you will learn great leadership and sharing skills,', 'If you want to get a good job you will have to give up your creative ideas of studying art/dance etc.'  The list is endless but i'm sure you get the idea.  

But what truly are we saying to these children?

We're telling them frankly they're not good enough.  
They are not perfect. 
They require more to fit into our society.  
They will need to work harder and accomplish more to be accepted.

Wrong message. 

When you look at a little baby just a few days or weeks old you don't use comments like, 'he'll be a great 'whatever' some day if he does his homework.'  
No you breath in and absorb their innocence and purity because as you look into those beautiful deep eyes you see the divine in all its greatest majesty looking back at you and looking into your soul.  The baby is perfect; sweet, innocent, pure and totally perfect.  

So what changes?

It's simple - we do.  
We impose our 'learned' beliefs and wants and needs onto the child and in doing so we tell them they are not enough.  

But the truth of it all is completely the opposite.  

Just like the little baby we don't change.   The same divine majesty is still within us, although we have covered it over with lots of 'rubbish' it is there gleaming strong and bright.  
We only need to remember and reconnect with it.  We don't change we just take on the 'rubbish' of life and pile it on top and thus carry it around with us all our lives, constantly telling ourselves that we are not good enough, not deserving enough, not entitled enough etc. 

We are so much more.  
More is such a small, tiny fragmented word to explain what 'IT' is, but it is beyond our greatest imagining, more intense than our wildest dreaming and more beautiful and amazing that we can comprehend.  

Remove the rubbish you have been carrying around all your life, let it go.
  
Instead reawaken your Divinity and know that you are more. 
You were created perfect and you still are perfect, totally, magically, and divinely just the way you are. 
Let Divine joy radiate in your life, spend tomorrow accessing your more. 

Find Your Balance !

We all crave the light, we spend our lives searching for the light in one way or another.  

As a child we are born with Divine Light and as we grow and develop the darkness within us slowly overtakes and dims our light.
Firstly we cannot have the light without having the dark - after all, a lit candle is of little use on the sunniest day, but in the dark of night it is most beneficial.
Secondly the darkness is not a bad thing to have, we all have to find our own unique balance of darkness and light.

Where does the darkness come from?
The darkness is every little negative thing you have thought, felt, experienced and lived through, but instead of facing it and acknowledge it for its lessons and achievements, we bury it deep, we feel guilty of it, we feel repulsed by it because we are taught that it is not acceptable.  This is done mostly in childhood so many of us are totally unaware of what our darkness holds.

The darkness reappears as we grow older as we try to juggle all the balls of life, we for a time take our eye off what we are doing and then BANG! we bash ourselves and rehash the darkness until it eventually takes us over; telling us how unworthy we are, how insignificant we are, etc.  Hans Christian King has a lovely phrase - we run our crazies he says, - we let our ego's dictate to us how we should be feeling and what we should be doing to fit in etc.

The one thing you have forgotten and should remember is the light is in you.
It's always been there, it never goes out.  Even in the darkest mind or troubled moments, the darkness can never overwhelm the light because you have a Divine Spark - a God given Spark that he has given you and no on can extinguish that.

Take time to reacquaint yourself with your darkness, don't fear it.  Face it - give it a name, acknowledge it is part of you and look at what it has taught you.  Even the most horrid of the darkness words holds a miracle - a freedom because when you know it you can forgive it, accept it and move on.

God bless and keep you all
