Mystic Monday: The Lava Lamp Knows All

As I drove to Wisconsin last weekend, I vaguely listened to a book on tape when a particular point caught my attention. The author spoke about the vast capabilities each of us has and how we often choose to allow our ego to instill false limits on us. He spoke about each of us coming from one source to experience the things we chose during our time here. And that when our physical bodies die (our protective shell), our souls are released to rejoin with the source where we originated from.

Barring any preconceived religious beliefs, I found this intriguing. Sure I had heard it before but this time it struck a chord. And now I want to know more and understand more and try to connect the dots. Why? Perhaps because I'm good at setting limits on myself. Convincing myself that I'm not good enough, or worthy enough, or young enough, or skinny enough....a helluva lot of 'enough'. This concept that I am equal to everyone I see because we originated from the same source... This concept that under the different 'protective exteriors' we call our physical bodies we are the same... This concept that I will 'shed' my physical body and return to my true source... Well, hell it warrants my attention.

How can I say I love somebody else if I won't include myself in that love. It's not like I'm saying "hey hubby I love your outer shell but don't give a damn about the 'you' inside". And I would never hold my son back by saying "oh you shouldn't try that, you're not enough". If I see the greatness within others and we originate from the same source (light? mass? cosmos?) then....<gulp> that must mean I  -  am  -  enough.

And it must also mean I am not alone. I have company in this quest. There are others on their own quests and we have the strength and the ability for greatness already instilled within us. And as I look around me, I see examples in little acorns fueled by desire that crack open to become huge oaks. And I've read about people who achieve greatness regardless of the naysayers. Did they know about "source"? Did they know they were capable of greatness? Or did they just follow their desire?

Hmmm....I must research this more....

In the interim, I do believe the answer may lie in the lava lamp...

It has an embryonic stage, a release from source, a quest, and a return to source...

Ha! Ha! I seriously sound like I'm on some psychedelic trip don't I?

Perhaps too much natural air this weekend
