When we have our vision tested for a driver’s license or at the doctor’s office, we discover the health of our physical eyes by their ability to recognize the letters on a chart, which in turn tells us how well we are focusing on the world around us. The clarity of our vision enables us to perceive and navigate the physical plane. When we perceive with the eyes of the heart, we become aware of the larger reality in which we live. We can see synchronicities and miracles and approach these with a calm assurance of their validity. When we perceive with the eyes of the heart, we can see those around us as miracles.

The illusion of the past invites us into the illusion of a future, but in reality neither exists independently of the perpetual now. Those we have known and those we will know are already part of our experience, we have but to widen our perceptions to acknowledge their presence and, by extension, their influence on us. As spirits, we know the connections that illuminate our unity. On the physical plane, we struggle to maintain connections day to day. As we create and celebrate each moment we are manifesting, we need to remember we are never alone. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) One day the Earth is bathed in the light and fecundity of summer and the next the leaves are falling, blanketing the green grass in the colors of fire. The circle of life continues and the Earth reminds us each day that change is our state of being. We celebrate birth and mourn what we perceive as loss and yet both are part of the same cycle that repeats into a time of timelessness in a space that is always recognized as here. Perhaps more than any other creature, the caterpillar living its metamorphosis into a butterfly understands the need for rest between manifestations. The caterpillar and the butterfly are one being; our spirit in every form is the same. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) When we let go of our preconceived notions of reality, we begin to discover and experience a deeper, and thus higher, state of being. When we begin to realize that all things are possible within the vision of the Creative Spirit, we can stop editing our thoughts and actions and fully savor the physical experience our spirits are manifesting. Then we can start living a fully conscious life, full of the wonders that are here for us to learn from and delight in. Stop editing your life, and start living it!

(Art by Joy Argento) As long as we live the illusion that we are separate beings with individual lives, unattached to any other, we will live in a constant state of disharmony. As we trod upon our path without looking around at the miracles inherent in the other beings whose paths parallel and cross ours, we miss the essential energy that is ours to grow in and through. When we peacefully and lovingly open our hearts to the myriad entities that surround us, we open ourselves to the reality of the interdependent web present in our lives. In this web there are many paths, connected through and by the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) Trust in yourself and your inner voice. Trust in the Creative Spirit that informs all. Trust that the cycles of Earth and of your life serve a greater purpose than that which you are aware of. Know that every detail, every moment of light and dark, offers a moment in which to learn and especially to learn trust. Be who you want to be on this planet as you follow your passion with compassion and kindness. Live your life in truth, trust, and love.

(Art by Joy Argento) While the light around us begins to fade, the light within can be nurtured and expanded to fill the darkness. We look at the events of the day and believe Earth is in more peril than ever, but the earth has forever existed in a precarious balance of positive and negative energies; it is the nature of the plane in which we live. The Creative Spirit would not wish us to harm ourselves or others, but by allowing the means to do so, we are encouraged to learn the ways of compassion, kindness, empathy, and peace. Earth and its inhabitants exist as one entity composed of many parts. When we honor and protect the planet beneath us, we will learn to honor and protect each other.

(Art by Joy Argento) When we honor the changing of the seasons, the accommodation of nature to the available resources within changing light, we honor the expression of the Creative Spirit. Now, as we watch leaves turn to the colors of fire and loosen their hold on tree branches, it is time to harvest not simply our foodstuffs, but our thoughts as well. It is time to discard ideas and beliefs that no longer serve us or the greater good, and make room for new thoughts in advent of the time of rebirth after rest. Autumnal equinox invites us to reflect on the waning light of the sun and discover the eternal light of the spirit within. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) The cycles of our lives are informed by the larger cycles of the seasons, the constant revolution of our planet around the sun and the tilting one way or another on its axis. Early on, when we began our physical manifestation here as a solid form containing our incarnate spirit, we lacked the means to overcome the natural cycles of the earth. We slept when it was dark and awoke with the light and lived by the natural rhythms of the day. Today, as we prepare to enter a new season, try to perceive the subtle changes around you and connect to your primordial essence.

(Art by Joy Argento) When we approach our lives with a sense of serenity and peace, the way is made easier, or at least we perceive it as such. When we shut out monkey mind in order to quiet thoughts that rage through our brains, and instead focus on the still quiet that waits at the core of our being, we are able to meet each new experience with grace and acceptance. Leaning into the serene space within allows us to flow peace into the world around us. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) |
