Are You the Wheel or the Gerbil Running on the Wheel?

May 15, 2008 Ms. Summer Breeze

Greetings Citizens of Milky Way Galaxy,

 

Rick James here, after a long stead away in the land of Nod.  Nevertheless, the days have been intriguing and the nights exploratory as I have delved into more of the inner sanctum of All That Is.  Some things have become more clear, and others, more murky as I have found the multiple layers beneath them.

 

You see, these past few weeks I’ve dealt with a number of temporary challenges.  While some proved to be more long-term than others, I’ve chosen to identify them as such—’temporary’, as our language helps shape our reality.  And our reality, shaped by what, and how, we define.  Therefore, define carefully…define consciously.  (That’s where reflecting comes in, so that we define as we change, and not a rubber-stamp way of looking at everything because it’s a way we’ve always done it.)

 

Nevertheless, what I am learning, is that our challenges are opportunities for growth and it’s up to us to see them that way.  Of course, sometimes life feels like the gerbil wheel that we’re running on; but trusting that it gets better, and believing that it can, is the difference between staying on the wheel…and getting off.

 

We define the wheel.  How?  Because matter shapes the arena.  Matter shapes the arena—the arena doesn’t shape the matter.  How we define, name, believe in, deify, falsify, everything and beyond, the matter is what it becomes. 

 

As I trudged into a lower level of vibration, I began to see everything around in a gray haze, dark, damp, drudgery…Sensing my shift, I asked my Guides to help me, to help me see the truth of what was around me.  And the difference was amazing.  I began to see how the time had shaped me.  How what was a seeming occurrence of Universal injustice had actually become a calm wind of opportunity, allowing me to see clearly those that were beneficial, and those that were not.  Further, it helped me appreciate the goodness in my experience, and in my day-to-day, as opposed to what was not present (or so I thought).

 

Ultimately, shifting our awareness and shifting our perception is what’s needed to get back on our own path.  Sometimes that path appears rocky, but what were considered pebbles may actually have been the traction we needed to move forward.

 

It’s up to us to decide how we will define it.

 

Thoughtfully,

Summer
