You are a miracle - Let it happen

#JustAThought… The Moment of Enlightenment

June 1, 2020•Just a thought, Self-development, Soul

I still believe that the core purpose of the journey through this lifetime lies in rediscovering our own light, in the way we deal with what happens leads us closer to recognizing who we really are. Joy, pain, drama, success, love, loss, stress, and relief show the results of the consequences of our actions and reactions. Every little incident tells us something about ourselves and the more we experience the more we might see that it is up to us how we experience what happens. Nothing new! BUT…

All of a sudden, thoughts and questions were flashing through my mind. What if the actual understanding of life and who we really are only come by leaving this physical life? Certainly, this journey down here tells us a lot about ourselves and the universal laws to make use of our spiritual abilities and combine both the physical and the spiritual parts. But can we really ever understand fully the whole of the divine being we are as long as the mind still plays a role in our existence? In case my name is not Jesus or Buddha… I doubt that. 

Religion actually tells us that enlightenment happens when we leave the body. I think, I really get the idea now. We do come closer to an understanding of who we really are with everything we experience. But even if we are as aware as we can be of the divinity inside of us, our physical presence will still have a stronger influence than we can recognize. As long as I say, “Yes, I do understand the secrets of the universe or who I really am”, isn’t that still my ego that speaks in arrogance? Until the end of this physical lifetime, it may still only be an idea (a good one and certainly an important idea to continue the journey… but an idea).

If I am a candle surrounded by light, how can I recognize my light? But when my light is covered I can see it again once I removed that cover. Let’s pretend:

  1. For rediscovering my light, I need a physical body to cover it and the tool of forgetting which basically happens by entering that physical body. Therefore it makes sense to me that remembering happens by leaving it again.
  2. The plan we make for an incarnation is only secondary to filling the time between birth and death with adventures and experiences. That would explain too why I need to learn that I am not anything from this physical world, that nothing can harm the being I really am, that there is nothing to fear, and that therefore love and happiness are the only feelings that match my being – fully recognizing it once I leave this world again.

Perhaps the real purpose of life lies in leaving physical life to understand what life really is. With this insight, death loses a lot of its horror, and at the same time, physical life becomes even more meaningful and less scary.

We don’t need to die to become eternal
but to remember and appreciate the value that we already have.

In Love, Light, and Health

Another most beautiful muse of your thoughts Erika… Love the analogy of the candle my friend…. I feel that is why the whole world right now is going through what it is.. No matter if nature started it or man… Because most who wake up, do so because they have suddenly been thrown into trauma, some have a NDE, or a chaotic experience, or their dark night of the soul…. They hit rock bottom with no where else to go… And suddenly they realise we have to change…
When those fears are faced and you then perhaps realise we are eternal beings, or nothing can hurt me anymore, because we have shifted our perspective on our lives …. We begin to see from another perspective and alter our behaviours .. Sometimes its that Lightbulb moment… At other times it can take repeated and repeated lessons which often will keep occurring over and over until we grasp what is being taught.
Earth is a School… in a way we are all in our different classrooms.. each with our chosen subject matter… Each perfecting what we set out to learn, even though we forgot the list we came here with… Somehow we meet and greet, remembering in those Deja-vu moments the bits that we are meant to remember or perhaps have even done before…. 🙂
We have done a lot of our shadow internal work… its been a hard road at times… as we learn to love ourselves, and let go of the programming, the conditioning, the guilt, the unworthy thoughts, as we unravel ourselves of the layers over this and other life times…

imagine now a world who has no clue like you or I… Suddenly getting thrown into this emotional washing machine… Fear, mingling with Anger, frustration,plunging them into turmoil, and on top of that taking away family, hugs, and those whom they draw comfort from… Its been HUGE!!!…. for them… Because they have been so used to being in their own small bubbles without understanding a bigger picture.. They still do not understand…
And their Fear is generated every waking moment by the media pounding it out creating more insecurities and depression, and driving down their own immune systems even further..

This is the Dark Night of the Soul of the Earth… But she has to plunge us out of the Candle light for a time in order that we can find our own light… Enlightenment…
I so hope we take this opportunity in discovering ourselves.. because there is a war on consciousness right now… And all eyes are on the USA….. Lots of things happening on the etheric level… And its so important Hate does not explode there or things could really take a tumble …. I have been joining in a global, group meditation sending Peace and Unity into the USA… The sparks being deliberately ignited are forcing the long held scars of racism to the fore again…. As we all have our various wounds now brought back up that we are having to face to finally clear…
Thank you for your wonderful words Erika…
Always a pleasure to catch up and read…. Much love my lovely friend ❤ ❤

I thank you for your wonderful words which only add so much value and insight to that topic. I see so much more about the time we are spending down here. An excursion to collect information, a school to gain knowledge, a break to play and feel ourselves with all senses. But then again I see this time down here simply as a time-out in order to see ourselves from a distance, a time-out in which we are not able to completely see who we really are. And the purpose of dying (of ending that time-out) is to rediscover the whole of our divinity. Like losing something and finding it again which makes it even more precious.
As you said, looking at a bigger picture (even though also my vision is only an imagination) gives so much value to the life we have and at the same time, makes us live it with a different awareness, with more appreciation, and with so much more joy!
Thank you again for your wonderful words, Sue 💖

There is so much to discover about everything. And once we think, we got it, another window opens up providing an even wider view… awesome!

A beautiful perspective. And, as you say, when we truly understand who and what we are, all fear disappears for there is nothing that can harm the “real” us. The physical body can be harmed, but not the essence of who we are. Thank you, Erika! Just beautiful!

It is such an indescribable feeling to only believe in that idea and to feel the closeness to our real being. As you said, fear dissappears and limitations appear like illusions.
Thank you for your wonderful comment, Jan😊

Very motivation, Erika! Let us hope that it is true. If I look like this to the representatives of our Roman Catholic. faith in Bavaria, then I would have to agree with Karl Marx. Enjoy your evening. Michael

Right. You don’t think how upset these gentlemen will become when you have securitised claims against them. When they have to give money out, you get to know them. Two years ago our clergyman here wanted to bury money in Romania. I was able to help him get better.;-)

A tremendous amount of insights to digest with this posts. A lot has been written and said about us as humans are living a programmed life which begins at birth. Our physical bodies are not our true image sense we are spiritual beings created in the image of God and God being a spirit. We are experiencing the physical life and the natural mind, when we can learn to be more spiritually minded our life will become an even more meaningful and extraordinary experience. Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts today!

Yes, absolutely, that way we can get an idea of who we really are when even I started thinking that who I really am can only be fully grasped by leaving this physical life.

That’s so nice of you that you say that. Yes, I do. I try to share something that may make a positive difference for others. It is always a joy to do only imagining it. Again, thank you so much for your words, dear friend 😊

Isn’t all so fascinating my friend? I feel it’s being able to remember our true spirit and trusting how we feel. Following our hearts and dissolving our thoughts.
I recently watched a wonderful documentary called, “I Am” and I highly recommend watching it. I rented it on YouTube. So much vital information. One part that fascinated me is how there is science proving that our heart is more hardwired to make decisions than our brains. I know my biggest sense is my empathy. When I follow my heart, speak from my heart and move from a sense of “what would love do next” I can’t go wrong!
I love this question you pose here. Thank you for asking this. Much love Erika❤❤❤

Your comment has given me goosebumps, Maria. I feel the beautiful light you shine on your way with the way you follow your heart. I think I know that documentary. Isn’t it about Moses? God’s name: I Am That I Am. Wayne Dyer created a CD together with some artists to make a sound to that name. It is about 20 minutes and I use it for meditation about the I Am topic.
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment, Maria. That was an inspiration itself😊

I’m so humbled to add light to your day and your comment felt like a hug, one I really need today. The doc is made by the director of movies like “Ace Ventura” and “The Nutty Professor”. He had a terrible accident that left him rethinking his own existence and place in this world. It’s a mixture of God and our current culture, the good and the not so good things we do that keeps us from understanding we are all connected, intimately for cooperation, community and democracy. It’s one of those life changing type of ah-ha moments piece of art that everyone can benefit from❤❤❤

Good one Erika. An Ecclesiastes quote immediately came to mind:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
We are certainly here for a purpose. Perhaps it’s a kind of apprenticeship for the next great adventure?

I see it the same way. I think the sporadic breaks from the “only-spiritual” existence can be like a story we create. We may continue where we stopped and leave the end open to continue later. I see it too like being on an excursion, taking a human lifetime. Collecting experiences from a physical existence. I like that thought a lot because it makes me make good use to the time down here… hehe.
Thank your for stopping by and taking the time, Colin. 😊

Magical words dear lady. I have this strange feeling that you have touched that inner being…just a little, to speak with that love you have always searched for. To do so is the truth of that awakening. And as you have said, to fully awaken is the ‘let go’. But it takes considerable time to truly feel and understand that awakening and realise its heart.
Spirit said to me that they know everything, but they do not ‘know’ it. Hence our little sojourn down here. Its like I can explain until I’m blue in the face what it is like to climb Mount Everest, but until the day you do experience that very thing, only then will you ‘know’ that journey.
I bow to a master, of life…and music too 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋

Mark your comment is so wonderfully describing what “to know” really means. Only the experienced lesson can really be learned. And even that is individual. Gosh, life is so thrilling and magical itself.
I think you are right, once you touched that core you get an idea and you want to feel this idea more and deeper… How amazing when already the idea feels so awesome… hehe.
Thank you so much for your magical and kind comment, Mark😊🙏💖

So with you on this. Been trying to get my thinking round this for a while. Thinking about life, loss, love and having that overwhelming feeling that I’m missing something. More to things than this. I love the candle image, that’s an image I can visualise so well. Thank you my friend x

When I was writing on that post your situation popped up in my mind too. It is a big topic and there is so much about it, most of all the individual view on it due to personal experiences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this openly, Gary.
