Spiritual Awakening: The Fantastic 4!!!
When most of us think of The Fantastic 4 we think of the 4 characters of this superhero group, Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and Thing. They all had amazing powers and when they came together to take action for good some great things happened. They all struggled with who they were and had a difficult time coming to grips with who they were becoming. In a way they were on a spiritual journey of discovery and awakening. When they awoke and saw what they could accomplish together they spread a message of hope to the world. Though they were fictional characters there message resonates with many of us today as we can be like them figuratively speaking of course.
We can all be like Mister Fantastic and stretch our body and mind and dig into our soul to find out who we truly are and answer our calling and be of service and value to others. We can learn how to use our power for the benefit of others.
We can use the traits of The Invisible Women to receive the messages from the universe as we disappear for a few moments to get away from things and not be seen and then reappear with answers that show others that service to humanity is the best work of life. We can go to our sacred place and cloak ourselves in awareness and when we come out of the sacred space be centered and grounded to make a positive difference in our life and the lives of others.
We can be like The Torch and find the fire that burns in us, our passion, and take action thus finding success. We can take what burns down deep inside of us, our divinity, and embrace it and share it with others recognizing their divinity and thus creating a positive shift in our society so as to allow people to reach their full potential. We can be like The Torch and conduct a Burning Bowl Ceremony to eliminate any negative emotional charges that may be holding us back and stopping us from stepping into our power and embracing our greatness.
We can all be like The Thing and find our inner strength and learn to harness it so that when it is used it is of benefit to all we come in contact with. We can learn to take our anger and change it to joy thus creating instead of destroying. We can unleash this power to make the world a better place.
As I sat on the bench in prayer at the cemetery today paying respects to my mom who passed a year ago the message for this blog entry came to me in the words Finding The Positive. Through challenging times my mom would find ways to make me and my brother feel better about the situations we were facing. As I sat on the bench all the positive memories started to come back. There was a sense of joy and sadness at the same time. I looked to the heavens and thanked god for all the time he gave me to have with my mom. I thanked my mom for all the great times she gave me over the year. I then wen to my car and retrieved the stone I brought with me to symbolize that I was at the cemetery, I cleansed it in the fountain and then found a place to place the stone and said a prayer. As I started the car I felt the presence of my mom telling me to stay positive.
