Self-Mastery/Self-Realization Journey: Devotion and Trust

Interesting...Devotion and Trust.

I ask myself this morning how devoted am I really? What am I devoted to? Again this leads me to pondering which goddess am I serving? The one of my lower self or the one of my higher self.

We all have this spiritual quality of devotion. We all spend lots of time devoted to pour passions, interests, people, jobs, television programming, radio, the internet....we are all devoted to something.

What I feel led to explore is this question, "Is what I am devoted to taking me toward that which I desire or away from it?"

Seems to me that I am highly devoted to experiencing love. Sometimes I seek it from a place of my higher, expanded self and other times from my lower, victim self.

I feel highly devoted to writing.

What I know is that we are called to be devoted. The ultimate is to be devoted on a quest to understand the fullness of who we are with in the greater spiritual context.


Trust...what do I really trust? I seek to trust myself. As I continue to expand my understanding of myself, I feel that I do trust myself. I feel that one of the worse things that can happen is for a person to not trust herself.

Trusting myself involves taking risks. Sometimes I have to go for what my HEART, not what the WORLD is calling me to do but my heart...I have to trust my heart. Even if it does not land me where I desire to be at least I am beginning to give myself a chance to do more and better.

I remember when I did not trust myself. I trusted outside opinions of me more than I did my own. That is when I have created the greatest messes in my life.

But when I stay true to my heart and the voice of the great mother within me, I tend to land in places that are just right.

Fall Fast 2010: Transform Your Life Through the Keys to Self-Mastery

September 1-22, 2010

Insights to Consider at This Time: Transform Youself through Self-Mastery

GODDESS ENERGY: OYAWISDOM OF THE FAST SEASON: Tehuti+, Sebek-

We are now going into the season of FALL. In the natural physical world, there are so many changes that are occurring. The temperature is beginning to decrease in certain parts of the Northern Hemisphere and the days are getting shorter.

Pretty soon many of us will see the leaves change color as the trees begin to go into conservation mode for the winter.

The wind. That is an element that we are all familiar with as we think about autumn. The wind is embodied in the goddess, OYA. Oya is known for Her winds of change.

What changes do we need to make in our lives? What changes do we need to make in our thinking, our consciousness? Change is the spice of life and quite frankly the only reality. Nothing ever stays the same, even when we think that it does. Trust me, nothing every really stays the same...except the Divine.

But in this physical reality, everything is up for transformation.

What is transformation all about really? We talk about being transformed but why?

For me this life is all about Self-Realization. I seek to know who and what I am and as I do then I am better able to walk out my destiny with grace and ease.

This Fall Fast is dedicated to transformation with the expressed purpose of Self-Realization.

One aspect of Self-realization is self-mastery. We often seek to master a subject or an activity and even people. But how many of us seek to master ourselves?

I have now come to realize that when I look at the physical and seek to transform it...well, that is really the least of my worries. I give thanks that now I seek to tune out what I see and tune into my inner experience and consciousness.

May you enjoy this latest writing:

Transformation in Consciousness: Make It Your Main Desire!

Often times I have thought that transformation meant change in my physical condition and environment.

I now understand that the transformation that we are most in need of is a transformation in consciousness.

If we can simply move beyond our attachment to what we see in the physical, then it will become apparent that the error is not in what we see but in what we think, believe and know in our minds,our souls, our consciousness.

Nature Teaches Divine Omniscience: Tree Teachers are the best.....

If we will learn to be like the trees, oh how much better life will be. I desire to allow Universal Wisdom, the Omniscience, flow through me. In the past I have blocked it more than allowed its presence within my consciousness.

Then one day I looked up at the trees and realized the beauty of releasing control and working WITH the Universal Wisdom. It is so interesting how trees don't complain. They simply work in concert with the divine intelligence within them...

THE MIRROR...What do you see? Hope it is all good.

I remember when I was young I was obsessed with looking in the mirror. There was a running discussion at Spelman College, my alma mater, about how much time I stood looking in the mirror.

At the time if they could have heard the dialogue in my head it would have been this:

"I need to make sure that I am perfect. I must stare into this mirror to make sure that I look perfect. I am searching everything about me to make sure that I am perfectly beautiful. I can't leave though I have been standing here for at least 15 minutes. If I stare long enough, maybe I will really believe that I am perfect."

I had a middle school friend call me vanity because I was so consumed by my looks...dag! Me and that darn mirror!

Once I began to study the Ancient Spiritual system called Ifa I learned of the goddess Oshun. She exemplifies BEAUTY! She is beautiful and needs all around her to be beautiful, too.

"Oh yes! That is me! I am so Oshun!" I told myself. What I learned is that a physical object that helps one to connect with the energy of Oshun is the mirror...
