As I started my day this morning I looked out and could see that the sky appeared to be on fire. The picture loaded is an actual picture of the sky as I was leaving for work this morning.
I looked upon the fiery sky and could remember all the dreams I had while going through the 40 days and 40 nights journey deep within my soul. At one point there was a particular dream that I'm living in this house with glass windows all around me. We are getting ready to go outside for tea and I noticed gas leaking from some place. Before I could do anything about it I was engulfed in flames. I was standing in the middle of this fire with no one else around. I remember trying to stand on top of a chair to avoid the flames, but this was pointless. At one point, just before the flames completely engulfed my body and said, in a very small and quiet voice, "Is anyone out there?". At that moment I said, "God, please help me to understand." As the flames consumed my body I felt cool, peaceful, and full of joy and then I disappeared into another dream. This dream was much more peaceful than the three headed dragon that's for sure. But none the less both had fire within them.
During our XPR exploration we have been studying the Hebrew letter SHIN. I thought it was interesting that it Shin reassures us the moment, the right now, and that there is enough. It is also the symbol of change and peace. This is the still place within each of us that we find change and peace. But Shin also means "tooth", it even looks like a tooth when held upside down. Many of my dreams during my 40 days was about me losing my teeth.
Again, I have been having dreams of losing teeth, or biting down on screws and nails. The other night my whole jaw came apart. I could feel my teeth moving around in my mouth but they were still attached to the now broken jaw. Our teeth in the metaphysical world is our identity. I believe shin is asking us to look at our attachments and for us to reflect on what's enough within the illusion.
When we get a sense of enough we are quiet within our own speech. Friends can speak their minds without feeling they are going to be interrupted, people wait patiently for your response, and you feel at ease that spirit is guiding the conversation rather than ego.
Now, fire can be just as destructive as it can be constructive. I thought about radiation therapy for folks with cancer. What an extreme amount of fire that is being placed within the body to kill of the identity. And that's exactly what it's doing, it's killing everything good or bad, within its path. This is a great example of how we attach ourselves to an identity within or of the body and before we know it it consumes us.
Mission statement, it's to bring fire, life and an identity to a business, purpose, or goal.
Wishing, now is that not interesting. Wishing, has the sound of shin within it. So when we are wishing we are trying to construct and identity out of something or make something we feel we don't have. When we are wishing for health we are saying I don't have enough fire to make health.
Relationship, wow....okay relationship. This we are bringing the fire of two or more together to create a bond or community.
Fishing....I like that! What is it that we are truly fishing for. When we look at the Hebrew letter shin within this word it's beautiful because the only thing that we ever really fish for is our own self realization. I'm fishing around! Haha.
When do we know when we have enough? When we are okay in any given moment. When we are okay with any situation that arises without feeling, thinking or wishing we were some place else. When we are satiated with LOVE. All that is, is the moment at hand and the project being constructed at that very moment. If you find it difficult then you are forcing it and have not found the fire that burns within you to allow Oneness to occur in and around you. When we are one with the fire we have no desire.

I had no idea when all those fires were happening around me, literally, they were really happening, what was going on for me. Nor did I realize the fire that I would see in my mind when thinking about something or someone how important this was. Nor did I truly understand how important the fire within my cleansing dreams were. I'm blessed to be given the knowledge to allow further growth and awareness.
The morning sky is my sign,
that life is always alive.
It's by the fire deep within,
that stops the desire for more sin.
I shall aim for the mark I am,
with love in my heart I am Mem.
Look towards the sky at night to see,
all the glory I hold within me.
For I am the stars and the sun as well,
bits and peaces of my stories to tell.
My eyes open to hear the sounds,
my ears open to see the crowns.
For it is with the opposites of who I see,
that truly brings me to the tree.
There is only one tree of love,
and that my friend is the story from above.
So I light my path with Shin to see,
to find the doors deep within me.
For they are only closed in my mind,
while my heart continues to shine.
Shin burns bright for all in the sky,
leading them out of the illusion and lie.
Blessing to you all and may shin burn brightly within you to guide you through the illusions and lies of who you "think" you are and bring you to "know" who you are.
Belief statement: As the morning sky burns bright I feel at one with all that is. I know that God lives within it all. I gain awareness while losing sorrow.
Spirit Statement: I am the morning sky burning bright and feel union with God in all while aware of joy.
Love, Velvete
