Purpose
Shortly after having been my own master, I questioned my entire spiritual journey a lot. From the things I did to the things I said and from the things I heard to the things I saw, I question all of it.
I questioned why I met the people I've met and why we separated the way we did. I stopped initiating training and rely strictly on the training my guides provided through dreams. This past February whenever I looked at my altar I questioned its purpose. At one point it looks purposeless and I heard my guides say, "The best way to get rid of figurines used on an altar is by donating it to the temple." About a week after they say, "Take down your altar, you don't need it."
For the rest of February I didn't know what to do with my shrine. My figurines made me uncomfortable and my guides kept telling me to take the entire shrine down. I asked my guides why they would want it down when they were the ones that wanted it in the first place. I asked them why when they had already shown that I was going to have a master altar up one day.
No response.
March came and I had enough. I was tired of feeling confused and tired of waiting for my guides. I initiated training again and last night I received a download and my team said,
"You are as impactful as you allowed yourself to be. Your gift is only as purposeful as you allow it to be.
The shrine is a reminder for you.
To be compassionate is to be understanding, to serve and to guide others to free themselves.
The road of righteousness is not easy.
For one to walk on the road of righteousness one must let go of one's ego. Learn to control the mind and detach from all material things - for all are resources provided by the universe and can be taken away but as souls, one remembered, so allow the memories to inspire one's growth and creations.
Life is beautiful but what we do with it is what makes living worth it. Don't be too attached that you must fear death. Be so joyous that life will fear losing you.
Remember, MK, you are as impactful as you allowed yourself to be. Your gift is only as purposeful as you allow it to be. You can't be so busy that you lost yourself. You can't be so busy that you forgot the difference between right and wrong. Your shrine isn't there for others, it's not so others can acknowledge you. It's there for you, to remind you of the things that matter. Do all the good that you can. This is who you are. This is part of your power.
No matter what, have faith, trust, and believe. This is the power within all beings. This is the root of manifestation.
You are what you believe."
Through this lesson I am reminded of my inner power and my birthright. I am reminded that I, alone, am capable of creating my life and making my life purposeful and impactful regardless of the acknowledgement of others or not. The weight of my impact and purpose solely starts with my belief in myself. I must believe in myself and my abilities first.
This has also taught me that I shouldn't always rely on my team for guidance, for support, and for validation. We are equal. We are a team. We support each other.
My role is to help them relay messages and to support them when absolutely needed. Their role is to provide me with guidance and support when I absolutely need it, not when I think I need it. Their role is to provide me with information needed to be relayed to others. They are not my personal assistant nor am I theirs.
If I know the answer then why bother asking them. If I can do it, why bother asking them. If I make a mistake, it is meant to be, there is something I need to learn. If we as a team make a mistake, there is something we need to learn.
As a team, my guides and I, our role is to assist others to awaken and to be the best version of themselves but before we can assist others, I, as the unconscious being, must awaken first. I must ride the rollercoasters first so I, at the very least, can have some understanding of the situations.
Today I may have passed this training but tomorrow I may fail the other and will continue to fail until I learn from it. Still I learned anyway and that's all that matters.
Life can be confusing at times but we don't have to journey alone. I believe by sharing we can all learn with and from one another. Please remember that even as healers we aren't perfect.
Others may perceive us as being knowledgeable and having everything under control but the truth is we are still human. We still walk through life blindly and we too still ride on the waves of life. There are days our board will flip and there are days we're smooth sailing. This is one of the wakeup calls I've received this year and by sharing I hope you all can learn from it as well.
Happy learning!
