Imperfect Love In Egregious Times
For my heart, the embodiment of perfect love is the ideal which I long for. The reality of my embodying perfect love has not been actualized, yet I will never stop trying. I am human and the energies which are separated from love effect my heart and mind. Even as this is true, until my dying breath, I will, because it is what my soul craves, continue to seek to practice, to the best of my limited abilities, to be as loving as possible.
During the course of my life I have stumbled, fallen, gotten up, stumbled and fallen more times that my ego would like to recall. My soul knows that these experiences of stumbling, falling, and getting up, are important lessons for my mind and heart in learning how to embody the energies of love - to be love.
Embodying love and light is a process. In each new sacred moment we are given opportunities to choose love. As we move forward into ever increasing moments of engaging with energies separated and opposed to love, each of us as embodied souls, are growing, learning, and finding out the truth of who we are in the presence of that which is not love, is not truthful, is not filled with integrity.
The energies of Love and Light manifests through thoughts and actions which are based in dignity, humility, love, respect, and integrity.
We each have the free will to 'choose love'. As the energies separated from love are being expressed more intensely, this choice will seem more difficult to choose.. As the expressions of the energies of darkness increase in audaciousness and power, it will be easier to re-act with knee jerking rage and anger to each articulated outrage. The difficult road - seeking inner guidance, reflection, and asking of the self, "what am I being called to do in this moment?", "how can I meet these energies with integrity?", "what is my truth?", when denser energies are prevalent is open to all souls who seek to find another way to meet denser energies.
What power has love in the presence the myriad forms of darkness which are unfolding? As a fellow seeker and one who is an embodiment of imperfect love I do not hold this answer. I know what is given to me in guidance. I know that we are moving forward into times where that which was once impossible will be possible, I know that darkness in the end, destroys itself as the energies are not sustaining and need to be fed constantly. Although circumstances of what we are going through as a collective of embodied souls is similar to events which have unfolded in our linear embodied history, there are elements infusing the situations we are experiencing which are new. Energies which were once predominately held in secret within hearts and minds are being given platforms to express themselves no matter the consequences of who shall be hurt. Separated energies which speak to the heart and mind are becoming stronger in the presence of cruelty and injustice insisting that one must act in ways of the darkness to conquer the powers of the darkness.
What I have learned through my being with Beloved Julie is that if one aligns with the energies of darkness to fight the darkness, one is still aligning with the energies of darkness. Darkness can never be defeated by darkness I know in my heart through the teachings of my Beloved Teacher, that love is more powerful that the energies of darkness. Yet with each passing day as energies intensify, my mind though is not always as sure and sometimes prone to aligning with the energies of fear when I witness the energies of darkness unleashed upon the innocent. This is why I speak to the imperfection of my love, for I am still effected by energies of fear which come up within me. My faith even in the presence of my imperfections, will in the end help to perfect my longing to be more loving and trustful in the presence of these energies of fear, until this time, I must wait and strive for that which is my truth.
A powerful spiritual lesson if unfolding as reality for each of us if we choose it - "Love is stronger than the energies of darkness".
This is the third time over the past few days in which I have written a similar post. I assume, as in everything I am guided to do, that there is a reason for these three posts. The reason has not yet unfolded, so I with you Dear Readers, shall wait. What I am aware of is that my soul has called me forth to write what I have written. I have done so. That which is to come is already here energetically, I pray for the strength of each embodied soul on this planet in times of spiritual testing in the presence of the energies of darkness that they may find the courage and strength within to align with that which is of the Light, that which is of Love. I pray that when a soul loses their way, aligning with the separated energies of the darkness, that they may be met with Light, so that they might remember the truth of who they are, that they are in essence, made in the image and likeness of Love and Light.
with love, Johanna
