WOW: catapult. To hurl. To throw or launch by a catapult. In this word, it is BOTH a noun and a verb, as is usually the case. In this time of incredible growth, we sometimes feel as if we’re flying on our own, or sometimes being thrust forward against our will. When WE feel in charge, it’s as if we have wings, and it is fun to look down at the countryside as it flies by under us. But when we DON’T feel we’re in charge, I see us sitting in a little bucket on an old wooden catapult, pulled back, then launched up, up, with us screaming and hanging on for dear life. We’re like the sheep catapulted over the castle wall. Scared and not knowing what will happen when we land. Will we crash, will we be in hostile territory, will we be all right? Feeling catapulted is a defensive energy; flying is an offensive energy (‘positive’, not offensive as in ‘icky’). The question then is this: if this is true, then which position would we rather be in? And if we CAN choose, which DO we choose?
I choose flying, which means we make the conscious decision beforehand, every day, to be awake, aware, and co-creating our lives. We ARE in on all of the situations unfolding in our lives, we CAN have peace no matter what. We CAN choose that. But it’s so difficult, you tell me. Your husband is sick, you don’t have any work, your cat just threw up. So from your powerful flying position I say, “FLY WITH IT!” Use that energy of movement and change for your expansion and growth. Don’t shrink in fear or worry. Breathe into it and move forward with it all. Center yourself and ask what you need in this very moment. Do you need to clean up the cat puke? Do you need to drive your husband to the clinic or ask for healing from your friends? Do you need to set up a new career brainstorming session with some trusted friends? Go within and ask your questions, then listen for your answers. I promise they’ll be there. Those answers are your wings to help you fly. You will not crash when you fly with wings.
Message from Your Soul:
Dear Ones: the feeling for this week is flying, whether it’s flying high, flying slow, flying fast, or flying slow. You are no longer earthbound walkers. Yes, you may walk from time to time if that is what you so choose, but otherwise, we urge you to fly! It is so much faster, there is less congestion and density, the views are spectacular, and you can go anywhere in the Universe in the blink of an eye! You are not earthbound any longer. So rise up! But how? You ask. So we tell you. Take these simple steps, if you have not already done so. Start by taking a few minutes each day to just sit with your eyes closed. Center yourself. Then feel the lightness growing from the Center of your Being. Don’t give up. Keep at it. Every day. Keep seeing the Real that is within so you can see the Real that is outside, as well. Otherwise your outside world is just an illusion based on partial truths and perceptions. How can you fly if you don’t know you’re a butterfly? You have long since ceased being a caterpillar, don’t you realize that? The monarch flies thousands of miles a year, halfway across the world. If one little butterfly can do that, how much more can YOU do? Don’t delay another moment – sit, close your eyes, and be all of Who You Are. The time for crawling is past. Fly.
