August 2020 Love Letters: Day 12
Hello, dearheart!
How are you? I hope you have had a lovely day. Mine, personally, was full of wonder at art and magic and bats and the sunset with great company and deep conversations. I was so inspired by all of the installations we saw today, from rainbows to the passage of time to painting on video layers. My favorite part was sitting inside of a giant golden lung, cross-legged on the floor in my flowery dress, and diving into a conversation about our Creator. Divine love is the whole of our experience here as human beings, and we are made in the image of our Creator, so what do WE do? We also Create.
Creation is what we are born of, and what we are born to do. Created in an ocean of love, the womb, we ALL are mer-creatures. Had you ever thought of yourself as a mermaid before? We know I have. 😉 Yes, my love, I just called YOU a mermaid. You don’t have to own that label if it doesn’t feel right for you; that’s the beauty of free will. There is a choice in everything we do, and there is an equal and opposite balance of force that takes place. Like the two minutes of planking I did earlier, for example: I pushed down to keep myself up. My goal was to create more muscle and destroy fat; creation has an opposite side of the coin, destruction, and they go hand-in-hand. It can be both, and we must acknowledge both within ourselves to be whole.
There is equal darkness and light inside each of us. So often, we are afraid of the dark, and we don’t want to face the shadow within ourselves. When you have a spiritual awakening, the dark night of the soul is something that MUST take place in order for you to grow spiritually and level up. What it truly all comes down to? Forgiveness. We hold onto our traumas like security blankets, both the trauma we have received and the trauma we have given. We try to escape from the pain of the lessons we have gone through in life, instead of turning and shining light into the dark corners within ourselves.
This is something that is a continuous process, but one I have dove deep into many times. Therapy has helped immensely with healing those traumas, and self-awareness is always what I am seeking through healing my hurts. Right now, we are collectively going through a dark night of the soul. This is a spiritual awakening on a global level. I KNOW it is not an easy transition. Darling, if you know me in person, you have witnessed my transformations and my dark nights, and you still see the light in me shining brightly. I have faced my own darkness, loved it, forgiven it, and allowed it to help me grow. We MUST continue to choose love, even during times of great pain and sorrow. ESPECIALLY during these times.
Darling, I wonder sometimes if you remember how powerful you are. Your thoughts, words, actions – they hold power. We were SPOKEN into existence. Jesus is the WORD. If God values that so highly, what does that mean for our own WORDS? We do not live on bread alone, but on every Word that comes from God. Who is God to you? How do you define your divine being or your higher power? Today, my love, right now, I implore you to CHOOSE right thinking, right speech, and right action. You can control those things for yourself. Speak love and life, and you will create love and life. Change these things, you can change your beliefs and begin to honor the divine Spirit within you that we all share if you haven’t already. I see you, my beloved. I KNOW YOU, all of you, and I love you. Period.
Good night, sweet dreams, deep breaths of gratitude for the lessons and the blessings. Love and forgive yourself. I will write to you again tomorrow, my dear.
Always yours,
L Joy
