We are well on our way into this new year of 2011. It will be a year of many changes and illuminations for our soul. Have you started to reconcile changes that the pervasive energies out there are trying to usher you through?
I just recently taught a level 3 Reiki course which involves the Spiritual level of one’s healing and existence. One of the topics of the class was Ego vs. Spirit and how it’s impossible to be in both at the same time. It is our choice as to which one we choose to manifest at any given time. Our Spirit is a guest in our body. And, it is up to us to create a fabulous temple for our Spirit to reside. Can our Spirit detach from us? I believe so, especially when Spirit can’t align with our negative actions, our lack of health, traumatic events, etc. Have you ever noticed someone without a spark in their eyes? Are their eyes vacant? Has their soul detached?? At the end of the lecture I read to the students the story of the “Two Wolves”:
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside of people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two ‘wolves’ inside us all”.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed”.
So, how is your appetite, and which wolf are you choosing to feed?
Namaste,
Jima
