Spiritual Awakening: Making Memories!!!
Each day when we awaken we are given opportunities to continue along our spiritual path and to create memories that will fuel us as we continue on our quest to be of service and value to others. The events of the last 9 days in the wake of what is being considered the murder of George Floyd we have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly as the spirituality of a nation has been shaken. I have seen many people come together for the common good while I have also witnessed evil in the form of rioting and looting. I started to think what makes a person do evil things and then I realized that perhaps it is due to their subconsciousness of memories of encounters with law enforcement or simply that they feel unloved and unheard. Every action that we experience shapes who we are and it is through those memories that we begin to shape our being mentally, physically, and spiritually. It is in the looking back at the memories that we can face the pain and clear blockages so that we can awaken spiritually and move forward in a positive direction of our dreams. It is in the learning from our past that we can plan for the future and live in the present. It is when we have photographs and memories that evoke a positive response that we are able to take positive action to create memories that will positively impact our life and the lives of others.
Today (6/4/2020) I visited my old house in Coral Springs which was recently sold due to the death of my step-dad in December. As I gathered items that Paula, my step-dad’s significant other put aside for me I realized that all I have left to remember my mom who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012 and my step dad who was called home to GOD on December 24,2019 were the photographs. As I did a final walk through the memories came rushing back and a sense of grief was lifted from my shoulders. I then went back to my the condo that I shared with my DAD until his untimely death on June 7,2018 and as I walked in the door I turned to the box with his ashes and remembered all the good times we shared. I am still living in the condo hoping to make new memories that will make my mom, my step-dad, and my dad proud. I have the great portrait of my mom that I see daily and it reminds me that as challenging as life can be I must do my best to stay positive and make memories that will leave a legacy of hope and healing. It is in the creation of memories that we grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
Most nights I am in bed by Midnight and I reflect back on the day while answering the questions did I live my life in joy today and did my life bring joy to others today? If I can answer yes I know that I created some memories that will positively impact my life and the lives of others. In creating memories we are able to open up channels that allow us to continue on a spiritual path growing daily while making a difference in the communities where we live, work, and play. In looking back on the memories there are many times I wish I had one more day with those called home to GOD however I know that they are angels watching over me making sure I stay on a path to make positive memories.
In looking back as we create memories we all wish for that one more day. This is why it is so important that we make each day count. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised that is why they call today the present. May you open that present and understand that this is the day the lord hath made so I will be glad and rejoice in it. Today is a day to make memories and to be of service and value to others as you continue to move long your path to spiritual enlightenment.
It is in looking back that we can learn from our mistakes while also enhancing our lives as a result of our successes. We can seek the answers to how I could have done something differently so that we can learn and grow through the spiritual awakening process. It is in making memories that we bring peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives while touching the lives of others. Stay Positive!!! Namaste!!!
