I am not finished exploring Spirit and already I am being 'dipped' in water.
I am not finished exploring Spirit and already I am being 'dipped' in water. All water symbols coming to mind, colours and images. Both Spirit and water are interlinked, like all goddess/matter elements. Without our denser matter components (physical, emotional, lower-mental), the Light/God part of us, would have no vase to hold it, nothing to receive His Rays and impulses through. Light would have nothing to descend into.
The water part of us provides lessons, through emotional experiences, to grow and learn from. That growth and learning never stops. Nor should it. No one is ever done or 'not there' anymore when it comes to emotions. One can reach a point though, where they experience emotions but don't allow unconscious, unhealthy reactions to rule the day. All the time. And life will test you.
The eternal dance continues, the Light/yang in us from God, seeks to reveal to us the layers of ourself that are still unknown (yin) to us, that are not fully integrated. The parts of the psyche still locked away in old patterns and old cycles, still not fully understood and learned from. Light, potentially enlightens our emotions and emotional states but it our choice how to react. Or not. Free will. Keeping in mind that sometimes, a healthy 'back off', is exactly the reaction needed.
The lesson seems to be healthier and smoother transcendence of elated highs, crippling lows and healing 'stuck' emotional states. You cannot learn to more smoothly transcend what you have not experienced. You will have similar emotional experiences more than once. Layers of lessons and layers of emotion. While alive, you will have emotions. No one in Incarnation is above or beyond their emotions or emotional states.
We are 50% to 60% water. If you found yourself on a deserted desert island, finding fresh drinkable water is more essential to basic survival, than food. Between starvation and dehydration, it is the latter that will most likely cause physical death first.
From a basic physical elemental level, to the cosmic astral planes, water is essential on many levels. Symbolically needed, as well as physically essential to life. Emotions are here to stay, no matter how 'enlightened' someone is or claims to be. So, today ask yourself, what is the emotional part of yourself trying to communicate to you? What have you done today in a healthy way, that acknowledges that part of yourself?
In honour of water today, I offer the following creative take on the Soul Mantra Prayer:
"I am the Soul,
I am the Light Divine,
I am Love,
I am Will,
I am Fixed Design,
I am Rhythm and Flow.
May Water carry me through all my cycles of transformation, with grace and ease. May I find peace within........"
