I felt Mary Magdalene strongly today as I looked out at a big rain storm that has come into San Diego. I invited her to share her thoughts and this is what she had to say:
Mary Magdalene: It often seems to us that it is raining and grey and gloomy outside. But did you ever stop to think that the sun is still shining above those clouds? It’s true, you know. The sun is still shining high above this storm which will pass. You need only wait and be patient as this too will pass. Each drama in our lives is like a storm that will pass given time. Any discord we are feeling will pass and the sun will shine again. In fact, the sun is shining the entire time if you can just tap into that energy and feel the warmth of the rays despite the gray clouds. The energy of the sun is always there to tap into. But we get trapped in the illusion of the storm that seems so on top of us that we can see nothing else.
I implore you, the next time you feel like you are in a storm of drama, look beyond the illusion of the clouds and rain and see the sun beyond.
Reach up to the sun...
This is my metaphor for reaching to make your connection with spirit. Your connection with spirit is of primary importance in your time on earth. Every human gets very distracted by the physical world because it is visible. The rays of the sun, beyond the clouds, represent the unseen energy that is always there. It is the Christ consciousness or the God consciousness that we can all tap into. When we tap into this, we are reminded that we are one with the sun as well as the rain. But we can choose to focus on the sun or we can choose to focus on the rain. The more of us that focus on the sun, the brighter everyone feels on earth.
This metaphor works on many levels. The sun could be love or peace or light and the rain could be fear or doubt or anger. They must both exist. But you have the power to choose what you focus your thoughts on in every moment of every day. You have the choice. This is the God-given power of every human on earth. You choose. The power of your choice may not be that clear to you but realize this, whatever you focus your attention and your thoughts on, becomes your reality. What do you choose for your reality? Will you choose fear, doubt, and anger? Will you choose to see the rain? Or will you choose light, love, and peace? The choice is yours in every moment.
Sometimes we must choose the rain to learn something about the sun. What are you choosing right now? Be aware. Be mindful. Be present. Enjoy the sun. Peace be with you. Namasté, Mary Magdalene.
