Thinking of Pataah's teachings, and all we face here as spirits having a human experience, I asked the Essence to all life for understanding. This Essence and Breath suggested I see what was before me as my mountain and as an adventure in a journey to face myself. Knowing we all are here to grow I was delighted with this dream and just wanted to share it with all of you. Thank You DennisB for your inspiration as a gardener.
Heart of Our Mountain
The man cried until he had no more tears left inside him. He raged and screamed as if he were a caged animal. He no longer asked why. When the rage stopped he grew silent and still for although his breath continued to come and go his heart and soul died on the battle field that day.
A million miles away a child faced this same place of a silent death within his own heart. His war was different. He was only nine. He was left alone in a dark alley while his mother went in search of highs that brought lows with so much pain. So many lost days that lived beyond what the human spirit could ever have imagined or desired to comprehend.
Between these two separated by the million miles lay a woman giving birth to her daughter in a white sterile room with Dr’s and nurses running around her. The woman felt the labor pains tear at her soul as the rape had seven months ago, and as her new born daughter came into this world she, and her daughter, cried not at all.
These images came with a thousand others and I cried out in the middle of this dream that held each life thread mentioned above as if each was a balloon on a string. I understood somewhere inside me that the collective reality could not exist without the individual reality. Each reality fed off the other. I wanted to know what these individual lives were here to teach us in the collective awareness and yelled at a God I could not find or see. When I stopped fighting and yelling, I too grew still.
In the silence that followed I heard these words, “ Each has come this far to show us how to face our mountain. Each life comes through to face the valleys dark below and mountains they never imagined could be so high or hard. Each of us is here to grow beyond what we know. When we have had enough of pain, wars, sorrows and places we find our life path has taken us to, we will choose differently with other blueprints in mind. But for now the heart of our mountains call out healing until we hear and begin to understand, what we think, and what we feed our minds will grow beyond the seeds we hold within our hearts, souls, and hands.”
I understood we were gardeners, and planters of the seeds we carried within us. The only way to change our worlds was to choose different thoughts, different desires and images from feeding our minds what we had the power to grow. The heart of our mountains are high and filled with answers if we would only listen. We have betrayed our own hearts by our own hands with the choices we make and the fears we embrace. It is as if we wear mask that hide our faces, for we dare not open to what we share a part with. If we would see to clearly we would understand that which we choose to grow will feed or poison us. We would see we build our own mountains so we might understand the power of the I Am inside us.
Maybe before we choose war, we should sit with the other side. How can we call them enemies when we do not even know their names, when we have not walked a mile in their shoes. If we all opened to the truth of what we are capable of would we pick different seeds to plant. Does greed, selfishness, power, fears have so much power over us we seek out and grow the very thing we say we do not want to be part of. Are we being true to our self or only offering excuses for temporal emotional addictions. Have we turned the very tools we have for the greater good into our own weapons. Do we fear to face our self with such clarity that we grow these atrocities and scream at the death they bring.
The mountains heart wept beside me and asked that I stay focused, stay clear and grounded. I heard change coming on bitter winds and knew the only way to change our worlds and our valley’s and mountains was to change our thoughts, change that which we have become attached and addicted to. The only way to change what seemed without words for the sorrows and pains that grew, was to change the seeds we planted inside us.
We are here to do more than face our mountains. We are here to care for that which we are entrusted with. The only way to do this is to become Love. Become the wholeness that healing offers us. Become aware. Become true to our natures in Spirit and beginnings. Understand each living thing is a note that makes a whole song, a melody, a rhythm of peace if we so choose to create this place before us.
The dream ended and I was left with this packet of seeds knowing I too had to choose what I fed my heart, soul, and mind. I called out for the tools of Love, Joy, Peace, Wholeness and set to work planting the garden I wanted to grow. I took down the walls around me and became the breath of life knowing in the ends as in the beginnings the fruits that grew ripe around me would show me my own face and what I chose to be one with. I sang out a blessing to all that lived, honoring the dream as much as the dreamer. In this place my mountain took me in and I saw the beauty of each as I had never seen before. When love is who we are we can not imagine anything less than one wholeness for all that lives and grows beyond what we know.
The message of the heart of our mountain is telling us that until everyone is free, no one is free. Until we know the alternative to love we will not choose with wisdom the seeds we plant. Until all are whole, no one is. Until we face our individual mountains, we will not see clearly what we are capable of and the ramifications of the individual choices we make. This is the meaning of our life path and I knew the journey our steps took would be as long as needed for us to see clearly beyond the hope we held on to.
Glad you enjoyed this writing. You have an interesting life grid pattern. It looks like a million raindrop shaped eyes that sparkle with tiny rainbows. Your background aura color looks like a sea green. Its Wonderful and Magical at the same time!
