I took this photo (on right) within a year ago (and later shared on Pixabay), when I noticed one of our cats—a female, former stray/semi-feral within our neighbor we adopted, and I named Shadow—was recently (at the time) being attracted to sitting next to the mini, Buddha statue in our living room, for the third time or so. We’ve had it for a while, but I never noticed her relaxing next to it (providing the Divine gift of the mirror reflection).
That moment—with the symbolism of the Buddha, and especially with Shadow’s deep, soulful eye contact—felt like the Full Presence of The Divine Feminine Goddess essence: Buddha Consciousness (flip side of the Cosmic Coin of Christ Consciousness/The Divine Masculine God essence) plus BLACK (symbolic of The Void/The Unknown/Dark Space/ALL, even Light, consuming Black Hole) and CAT (symbolic of the feminine, wild Spirit, intuition, flow, authenticity, and wholeness).
I shared the following comment for the video, “Master Shi Heng Yi – 5 hindrances to self-mastery | Shi Heng YI | TEDxVitosha“:
I’m very grateful that I tuned into this message that contains some profound wisdom, to include doing what you want—aka Being authentic/true to yourself, trusting your inner guidance/Heart, and following the breadcrumbs of JOY. However COMMA there are also some contradictions.
For instance, at 16:12 of this video, it’s suggests, “learn to accept, acknowledge, and allow the situation or a person to be the way are, how they are”; but yet, the previous messages were actually about the rejection of various “negative”/”wrong”/”bad”/”non-beneficial”/”dark”/”unknown aspects of the individual and Collective full-potential, Multidimensional, WHOLE self/Self.
I have no doubt that when we further open our mind and heart (to integrated Mind/Heart)—aka merged Soul & Spirit/Light (Known) & Dark (Unknown)/Yang & Yin/Sun & Moon/God & Goddess/Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine Energies/Fire & Water/Hot & Cold/etc.—we can then Be Fully Present (the state of Balance & Harmony in alignment with Unity Consciousness).
Therefore, when it comes to the first “hindrance” to self-mastery (mentioned in this video), we can be open to the “bad” temptation of a luring situation—such as a beautiful place that offers delicious food, and filled with beautiful people (what many within humanity would consider heavenly)—stop by to fully enJOY the wonderful experience, and then have the discipline to continue the journey up the mountain top (ultimately, to further explore and enJOY interconnected Life, while further expanding one’s individual and Collective Consciousness).
I’m still learning to unconditionally embrace and integrate more and more NEUTRAL—not right vs wrong, good vs bad, light vs dark, etc. within duality/polarity of physical worlds—aspects of the WHOLE/THE ONE, which includes deeply understanding ALL neutral emotions (our inner compass that always reveals our authentic state at whatever moments), and honoring our true feelings.
It’s okay to feel down at times, it’s part of being human; it’s part of the ebb and flow of Life, the Cosmic Dance of the so-called opposites/contrasts.
The key is to RE-MEMBER to BOUNCE BACK whenever we’re down, after we’ve taken the time to go inward, to Be Fully Present with our inner world, with how we truly FEEL, ALLOW any part of ourselves to simply BE (as IS), and give ourselves an inner BEAR HUG.
If we feel angry, it’s beneficial to express this emotion in a healthy and honest way, rather than suppress it (FORCE IT DOWN) because it’s unacceptable and NOT spiritual.
Because the anger energy (that’s valid for whatever reason) won’t go anywhere, but rather, gradually build up tension, bubble like lava, and then eventually EXPLODE in an out of control manner.
When we’re willing to co-exist in harmony with more and more aspects of WHOLE self/Self, we will discover more INNER: peace, freedom, profound wisdom, gratitude, appreciation, strength, courage, abundance, wealth (self-worth), joy, Unconditional Love (for self/others/interconnected Life within this world and way beyond), and much more.
Our society has rejected these non-approved aspects for way too long; hence, they have shown themselves in uncontrollable and undesirable ways; but they just want to experience so-called other aspects to express, “I SEE you, I HEAR you, I FEEL you, and I KNOW you.”
It’s time to reunite ALL aspects/parts of the WHOLE/THE ONE in order to truly KNOW our greatest potential, and to fully BE who we are at the core—merged Light (God) & Unconditional Love (Goddess) Frequency—and truly LIVE our own versions of Heaven on Earth.
