Morning Thoughts: As Spring Approaches, Reflections about the Cycle Of Life

Every year, as the season changes once again and Spring approaches, I can’t help but think about the metaphysical meaning of the Cycle of Life.
 
I’m looking at my garden, now dormant and somewhat bare, through my large patio doors. I’m waiting for the gardener to give him the OK for the yearly pruning and trimming; getting the plants ready so the blossoms can sprout in their full glory again in a couple of weeks.
 
I can see the plants and bushes are getting ready to grow. Small green leaves will be peeking soon into the warm California sun. Oh, how I enjoy seeing this growth, the unfoldment of nature - reflecting the workings of Mind. Limitless Mind unfolding its full potential.
 
Looking back at ‘Winter’, the dormant or reflective time, has passed, at least here in the desert. A new awakening is in the air. I can feel it, smell it – there is hope of warmer days to come.
 
I know that Winter represents a resting period in the mental, a time-out to allow rejuvenation shown forth in nature. Renewal, revitalization, refueling of Spirit, and getting ready for the abundant explosion of more Life.
 
Everything we see is a visible expression of our Consciousness, a mirror image of our innermost soul substance. ‘Thought in action’ you might say, acting out our own personal movie.
 
As part of my experience, even in my garden, I am the creator, the writer, director, and actor. I am in charge, good or bad, successful or not, I am writing the script and I am choosing the actors.
 
Reminiscing about the gentle awakening of Spring; representing the infancy state of Consciousness with its germs sprouting eagerly, unfolding tiny flora and curiously peeking out of mother earth’s fertile ground.  Still small, yet powerful seeds of Life are always pushing upwards towards the light - just like the Soul wants to push upwards towards God’s glory. The gentle warmth of Spring embalms my Spirit and gives renewed hope to a new day.
 
And pretty soon we’ll be approaching the full splendor of summer. I embrace the life sustaining light and warmth of the sun. I fully absorb this invigorating force and feel the growth my Spirit has achieved.
 
Summer represents ‘Youth’ with its unlimited strength and fearlessness. The ‘Summer of our Mind’ is the time to reason and to make sound choices, the time to pave our paths. Enjoyment of the moment so desperately yearned for; this is the season to define who we are and to choose the road we will travel going forward.
 
As Summer dwindles and cooler days are on their way, I think about what comes next. Autumn, with its ripening of mature thought, it reflects ‘maturity of the mind’, fruition, fruit at its best!
 
At last, we have come to an understanding of our true purpose in life. We have reached yet another stage in our unfolding process. This season is the culminating mental state that defines who we are at this moment in time. And so we can rest once again.

​Morning thoughts, a personal journey: My Challenges, My Lessons – How do I keep the Faith in the Allness of Good?

It’s been a rough year for everyone, no doubt, but for me - the last 5 weeks of my life have brought some unexpected challenges and lessons to say the least. The big scary “C”, Covid-19, found its way into my system and has been holding on to several areas of my body. Yes, I consider myself incredibly lucky: I did not have to go to the hospital, I could breathe, I didn’t die. How grateful I am!

This forced staying in bed induced by incredible fatigue has given me the time to relook at ME, myself, my choices, my beliefs. It has opened a whole lot of areas of fear and doubts which I thought were long gone. But surprise! Here they are in all their evil glory!

After the first couple of weeks when the worst was over and as my son so appropriately said: “Mom, you didn’t fall off the cliff”, things seemed to get better for a few days. And then it stagnated. Each day was filled with all sorts of physical and mental changes, good and bad, happy at one moment and sad the next, experiences which sometimes seem to be unfair and frightening. It was, and still is at times, easy to fall into the deep dark hole of self-pity, ultimate misery.

The true cause of all manifestations, including sickness, are our (in this case my) innermost thoughts and feelings. Not the quick fleeting emotions, but the long held, ingrained ones. I know that what I am facing in my daily living are lessons about me, my life, my progress in unfoldment. They are here to show me what needs to be improved as this experience is very personal, it is all about me and my connection to my perception of my world. My daily lessons, as painful and frightening they may be, show me what needs to be improved in my world, i.e. my thinking and feeling, my Truth.

What truth? The Truth of Life. Knowing the Laws of the Universe, the Laws of God or better called the Law of the Allness of Good. I have Faith in the Allness of Good. It is my life’s principle.

Real or true Faith is not blind faith. True Faith is Understanding, Confidence, or the Faith in the Almighty’s Truth. It is Faith that all will work out no matter what the situation, knowing the truth of Universal perfection. Faith is the knowing that everything I desire already exists as a possibility in mind, including perfect health. It is a certainty of good things yet to come.

Love, Ulrike
