Deconstructing Harry
We are all energy. Our physical bodies are structured by the programs within our DNA. Our emotional, mental and spiritual bodies are structured by our beliefs, thoughts and feelings.
A partnership exists between our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. These bodies function to flow divine energy into creation. They also function to help the individual ego self to survive.
As each of us come into the world we come beautifully equipped to powerfully flow divine energy through our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical bodies into the world. We are also completely inadequate to survive. By the time many people reach the zenith of their lives this equation is reversed: they have become successful masters of ego survival, but in doing so have lost their grace and conscious ability to flow divine energy.
Flowing divine energy, with it’s powerful truths, wisdom and beauty, is both our deepest need and a direct threat to our ego. As we entered this world our spiritual impulses come under a barrage of intricate attacks from the egos around us that were threatened. We were conditionally accepted: the condition was that we give up any connection to wisdom and divinity. Those that retained it to some degree were tolerated but looked upon with suspicion.
Our connection with our divine self, despite the ego’s fear of it, is our greatest tool in not just survival, but majestic survival. As we are stripped of and trade away our tools of divine survival for the love and support of people around us, our spiritual, emotional and mental body is damaged.
Imagine yourself in a hot air balloon floating above the earth. As you came down arrows and spears were thrown at your balloon and you realized if you kept coming down it would be punctured and your elegant mode of travel would be destroyed. But you wanted the love of these people you had decided to make your family. So you chose to come lower. Your magical balloon was punctured and was then stripped away from you. You were left to develop other ways of moving around and were prodded to do so. Only now that you are down here, things that made sense with your greater vision in the air no longer make as much sense on the ground. More importantly, few others remember their own vision from the air.
This has big consequences. When you encounter a lack of water in the valley of your birth, rather than going to the next valley to the abundant water you saw and know is there, your tribe doles out rations and is bitter because of it’s scarcity. You are told that life is hard and you learn to compete for the water that is your allotment and stop dreaming of the water in the next valley. If you mention it, your tribe will get angry at you. If you push too far your tribe may disown you.
Healing is the process of re-constructing your connection with your divine self. To do that you need to clear away the crutches and wheelchairs you use to navigate now. This alone is not enough, however. You need to have the skill and the help to reconstitute your balloon. Your bicycle cannot come on this journey. But neither is letting go of your bicycle enough to repair all the arrow holes in the fabric and light the fire that has gone out. That is your journey.
Action: Reflect that your perception is formed by the structure of your bodies, all of which are necessary to create. Consider: Are you ready to begin the process of deconstructing your adaptive ego’s survival patterns and reclaiming the original grace you came in with? Is this the right time in your life for such a journey?
