Each week, during her daily meditation time, Rev. Susi Roos, RN, requests an inspirational message to share with those who walk the spiritual path with her.
"I don't plan what I am going to write. I've learned to just sit in a space of communion and let myself be used as "mouthpiece" for Spirit. Sometimes, these messages are written as though the speaker is a fellow human traveler and sometimes they are written from the perspective of one who is witnessing and guiding the human journey from "somewhere else". Inner Listening, which is what I call this process of receiving, is a wonderful tool for spiritual growth, guidance and healing. Anyone can do it and I encourage you to create the time, willingness and openness to do it for yourself. In the deep inner silence, we each can access such rich wisdom. After engaging thusly on a daily basis for three years, my first book, Rhiannon; Truth Seeker, began to come to me -- a wonderful co-creative effort with Spirit. And three books later, the process is no less wondrous. If these message call to you, check them out each week. Perhaps some will resonate more than others. You can also check out the weekly Rhiannon Wisdom Card, which are distilled from the Rhiannon Books. And do consider engaging in this inner listening process for yourself. Thank you for sharing this journey with me...."
This week's message:12/21/08
Unto thy own self, be true.Unto the Godself, be true.Unto
the ancient, all-knowing God-sourced soul, be true.That is all one need do to maneuver
successfully through human living.Know
thyself and be it.Rediscover thyself
and believe it.There are no fancy
formulas, although the excavating of the authentic Self can be done in numerous
ways, as can the burying of the true Self.
Once it is discovered, claimed and lived, all the other
answers or decisions become clear, if not always easy.Just like when one completely identifies with
a false self, it is also relatively easy to know what to do- based on this
false self.One will live according to
the rules of the world of that identity.It is when people are aware of more than one identity, each of which
operates on different premises, that decision-making can be agonizing,
confusing, shame-filled, frightening…. If you know yourself as love, then all
decisions will be love-based.The degree
to which you are fear-based, will be the degree to which your decisions and
actions are the same.The degree to
which you are in survival mode is the degree to which manipulation and survival
tactics will be used and justified.
What to do?Quiet the
self, come back to the inner places.Offer your fear up upon the Altar.Always remember who you are – and when you forget, remember again and
make any reparations needed for actions carried out in forgetfulness.Fear and love both create passion.But only love creates compassion.Fear often creates ruthlessness, however
gently disguised.Love extends itself in
service.Fear wraps itself in survival. A fearful self both manipulates and is
manipulated.A loving self offers
choices without judgment.
Be the love you are and act accordingly.Listen more than ever to the wisdom of your
heart and trust it more than ever, even when your five senses would challenge
its perceptions. The world is changing
rapidly but it is actually following the blueprint of the self becoming the
Self.Your inner wisdom will lead you
rightly.
