Carl Jung, I adore you!

I found this and I wanted to share it with you today!

"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... 

Who looks outside, dreams. 

Who looks inside, awakens. 

-Carl Jung

Today's Epiphany...

With the help of a friend, I realize I often channel my inner Nimrod. You know, that voice that always mumbles in the back of your mind, using a verbal white glove on the bookshelf of your life. Well, when you channel it, that smeg comes out of your mouth and into your ears and the ears of anyone close enough to hear you... thus conceived are impressions and attitudes about who you are.

I Love Technology

I am going to be able to blog more often now. I do love my iPhone. This is my first post using that fabulous little piece of equipment and a free app.

Oh, My Soul I Love You!

Oh, My Soul I Love You!

By Linda Carol Adrienne, PhD
(Published in the Delphi Healing Arts Journal - June 2009)

One day while I was meditating, I had a profound and life enhancing experience. I wanted to share part of this experience because it was so beautiful and it touched me so deeply. I thought that maybe it would touch you too. As you read my words, try to visualize them, let them resonate within you and call forth your own Desire and Devotion. I relate it to you in the present tense for this reason. Perhaps it will spark your creativity and light the fire of your inspiration.

As I journey in my meditation, I come upon a crystal podium. I walk over to this sparkling pedestal and see that there is a book upon it. I begin to read the book and realize that it is the story of my life from the perspective of an observer who is evaluating the learning processes of a prodigy. I am amazed at the beautiful things that are written there about me and what I am doing with my life. As I read, I begin to feel very good about my life in general and myself specifically. I take on a deeper certainty that I am "in the right place, at the right time, for the right reason". I feel as if I am fueled by what I have read, like a fire in the presence of pure oxygen. I just know that if I were to look at myself in a mirror, I would see that I am made completely of light and glowing as brightly as the sun.

I turn the pages of the book and I know, I KNOW... everything and nothing, the truth beyond words about who I AM. It feels like a new level of confidence, a certainty of the meaning of Spirit in my life. A rush of comforting warmth washes over me as if in confirmation. Eagerly I turn to the very last page of the book, or I try to, and I realize that part is not written yet. Even so, I smile because I have a knowing, an understanding about the Journey and the Final Destination. As this insight fills my heart, I hear someone call my name, and I walk toward where I think the call came from. After a bit, I come upon a fountain before a beautiful building, and I realize that this building is my Temple Within. When I see the Temple, I know it is my Higher Self calling to me.

I walk slowly to the Temple entrance, then enter and approach the altar where I sit in Lotus position. I breathe deeply to fan the flame of my Core Star and consciously use my Inner Light to illuminate the Temple. I just know this is what I am supposed to do here. As I follow this guidance, I hear/feel following words:

In Joyous and Utter Abandon,
I throw wide the doors of my Temple,
exposing the innermost regions of my Soul,
at last understanding the Why of The Journey.


As I breathe into life the flame of my Core Star,
illuminating the spaces within,
I hear the call of the Golden One,
and offer up my Self to the Oneness.


All that I am, all came from You.
All that I am, I give to You.
I spread my devotion before You,
freeing its golden radiance in Your Presence.


All that I am, all that I shall ever be,
I use in service to You,
as I stand before Your altar,
in this place which is the World,
where all Humanity dwells.


Dear One, I know Myself through You.
I know the purest Love
and the sweetest Peace,
as I realize that the Earth is Your Temple,
all life is Your Congregation,
and I am Your Emissary.

Amen.

At this point, I opened my eyes, for there was nothing more to see or hear and the meditation was indeed complete.
