Choosing Peace with Integrity

Yesterday was one of the most personally profound days of my life as I took every moment to relish and enjoy the peace that flowed through my being. Even after a day like yesterday I found it hard to sleep with my combined excitement for our vacation and excited about the experience I would have during this vacation at this level of awareness.

As we laid there in bed last night going over our day it occurred to me that the events would have seemed challenging at times in keeping my peace. But what I found was my ability to speak from the heart, to stay connected to the heart, and to know that everything is okay. The saviour in me is always wanting to save someone or feel the need to tell someone how to do something better. I had to laugh yesterday when the ego would raise its head to say, "You've got to save that person, what are they going to think of you if you turn them down?" If an individual only needs me for something I give to them will not make the situation better, it's just a band-aide. Of course there are those times that we need bandages, but then there are other times letting the blood drain from the wound helps the healing process quicken.

So as I thought about ALL the people in my life yesterday and the feelings that came along with each one of them I realized something very important. With every single person as a reflection for us when we see these reflections we are able to make choices. Say for instance you have a blue dress on and you look in the mirror and it makes your butt look fat, well then you go and get a black dress and when you look in the mirror it fits you perfectly. This is how relationships are too.

When we elevate to a certain level it doesn't mean that we stop seeing the world, we are a part of the collective as well. That said, we do have a choice in continuing to see the fat butt, or the skinny legs. It's all our choice.

One might ask, but what reflections are we seeing if all reflections are us? Well, they are still us, but maybe an us that is in the distant past that is there to remind us of where we once stood. Or a reflection of the current us that is still moving into present time. It will be up to the individual in the choices they make regarding that reflection.

Now, there is no way to escape a reflection that is to serve you in present time. How will you know if it's a now issue? It will continue to show up in all kinds of people, relationships, situations and issues. So you can't trick yourself in believing that you are beyond something when you are not beyond it.

What about those people that are reflections of our past? Well when you experience deep, profound peace you are now able to see them as yourself with love and compassion and are able to thank them, spiritually, for the role they have played to assist you with your growth and awareness.

So as I laid there I realized that the choice I was making all day yesterday was one of peace. To stay in alignment with what was true for me. I can still love my friends, but I don't have to buy into their pain by thinking that I can save them.

I had a friend tell me that they received a painful download. It took me by surprise and I had to take a minute to think about what just happened. Later that night I remembered the voice of Nuit, "Your growth doesn't have to be painful, you make it that way when you separate yourself from truth. The pain that you experience is your own pain that helps to validate for you that suffering is real, that someone attacked you. The pain that you experience is ego saying, "please don't let go of me or I'll hurt you". Dear child it is never meant for you to be in pain. A download is just that, going down low, going deeper into the illusion with ego. You are not downloaded with anything, everything is already within you. You will upload, meaning freeing your load up to allow you to ascend when you realize that your pain and suffering is of your own making. The upload will allow you to feel sadness at first as you release yourself in to joy."

So what do I reflect back to others? I choose to reflect their present joy, peace and love. If they are unable to see this reflection for what it is that is not my problem. I will continue to hold this light from within in order to continue to make the choice of peace. What will I seek to be reflected back to me? The same peace, love and joy that I currently experience from within. If I have those that wish to bring me down and continue to grab at the light without taking ownership of their own light then I will continue to support them with the light that burns from within me. That's all I can do. This is not saying that I will ignore the past reflections I need them in order to know if my butt is getting fat, or if I still want skinny legs.

The choice is always ours to stay in integrity in order to know we are the peace, we are the love, we are the light.
