Day 20 of 400 Sherlock Holmes

Life provides many opportunities for us to awaken and to become aware of our thoughts, feelings and emotions. When we feel something is not good for us we are giving the ability to pull away from it.

New Year's Eve a friend, my husband and I went to see a movie "Sherlock Holmes". During the movie a mother and 4 teenage girls got up half way through the movie to leave. This movie starts out with some Black Magic being performed. Then it builds around this whole theme of black magic. This group of people left when it was really getting deep with the killings around this person coming back from the dead.

Since I was the only one in the party that witness this and had this thought and feeling of the reason the mother was leaving, it was only I that needed to reflect what this might be saying to me.

To do this we first take what it was that I was thinking about regarding this situation. That this mother was taking her children away from a situation that she felt harmful to their minds and/or spirit. At first I thought how sad of this mother to not finish this movie because the end gives you the answer to the mystery. I don't want to give the movie away so I'll leave the answer out of this blog.

Anyway, I thought about it for a couple of days. Even had a friend telling me not to write about this on my blog because he saw that it would be judgemental of me. Now of course this was a reflection of how he really feels about himself to make such a comment because it is what he was seeing from the situation.

But after taking a few moments to reflect on the whole situation and take in everything that has taken place since New Year's Eve I realize now that it was a sign for me. A sign that when we feel uncomfortable about a person, place, thing, situation or incident going on around us that it's okay to leave. It's okay for us to say this is not for me. It's okay to know what is best for you and not best for you. It doesn't matter that this mother didn't get to see the ending of the movie to discover that it was all an illusion.

When we understand that it's all an illusion anyway then we have a choice of how we wish to experience that illusion. No one is there to push or prode us into doing anything. It's all about what we wish and desire to experience. If someone is making you feel bad about ending a relationship, partnership, or agreement they are giving you an opportunity to be strong and move forward within your own choice. When we do this we take control over our destiny and not leaving it in the hands of others.

I'm sure many of you can relate that attend church. Some of you feel good in a Baptist church, some of you Methodist, some of you may have started out Church of Christ and now are United. It's because you are in control of how you feel about being there. Repelling is not a bad thing, it just leads you to a new experience.

Ego statement:

It's sad this woman had to leave and this makes me feel confused. I wonder why she just didn't want to see it to the end. I gain confusion while losing focus.

Spirit Statement:

I am happy and welcome awareness because I know I see now with awarenss and focus.

Wow, that feels good. It's good to be aware when we know that what we are looking at is ourselves speaking a language of love and light. It's only the ego that makes it seem negative, hurtful and harming.

Blessings to you all today.
