You Make Me Live!

You make me Live!

In my circle of friends recently there has been a rash of unexpected suicides; it feels like this is becoming a global epidemic, and I want to send out the affirmation that everything is in its right place. Our dear ones did what was necessary for them in that moment to find freedom. When I was 11 my father committed suicide. He shot himself in front of my mother. Can you imagine what she has suffered in the 30+ years since this happened? How much pain, guilt, shame, fear, and whatever other horrors she has visited that I can’t even comprehend. It impacted me tremendously too. It showed me the coward’s way out. But it also showed bravery I never had and hope to never have. I was angry for a long time about it, but then I got it one day.

I feel sadness at the passing of my dear ones, but I also understand that the vast pain in the world can sometimes be too much for the human vessel to manage, and opting out is often the only choice in that moment. It is a selfish choice no doubt, but I understand that it was a perfect choice because it was the choice that was made by them in that moment. There could have been no other way or there would have been a different outcome. And if we are human at all we are ‘self’-ish! I want to say that if you have had similar feelings to that which compelled our dear ones to take their own lives, pick up a phone and share that with someone before you decide to do it. More often than not there is someone willing to hear you who understands what it is like. Even if it is the suicide prevention hotline (1-800-273-8255), talk to someone before ending it. You would be surprised to know how many people actively contemplate suicide on a regular basis; you aren’t the only one. Someone can talk with you. If, after you release the burden you are bearing, you still feel compelled, go for it. One hint please, get your affairs in order so that your loved ones aren’t burdened with trying to figure it all out for you!!!

So many of us have often thought “oh, how much easier it would be to let go, to re-boot, to end it all.” This is simply the loss of the human vessel that our dear one was trapped in. It is a true freedom we know it on many levels. We in our human form are so often attached to our human vessel that we do what we can to improve it to make it perfect; we believe that it is WHO we actually are. When we are sick with dis-ease, it can be so frustrating for us that we believe even that is WHO we are. Watching many of my dearest ones die of other sicknesses, holding their hands in the end, I saw through them that we are not our human vessel; we are so much vaster than that. The dis-ease is a manifestation that our mind (our beloved computer) tells us is happening. We fall for it every time. Even those who are studied and know it to not be the truth can fall prey to our mind and dis-ease. Truth is when it is time to opt out sometimes a dis-ease does come in and manifest in us and take us out. That can be physical or mental but to the beloved computer and our delicate vessel it is very real!!!

I feel the frustration of an extremely tumultuous time. The world seems to be falling apart around us. We have oil spills of high magnitude (does anyone even talk about it anymore? I know if the sea life could communicate to us, they would be screaming still). We have nuclear dis-asters that are impacting us in ways we don’t even imagine yet. Our Great Mother is full of dis-ease that we in our human form have imparted upon her. We have so many natural dis-asters happening that we can start to believe that the Great Hopi Prophesy may actually be happening in our time.  They might be onto something. At the end of our day, this too is perfect. All of it!  Every bit of joy and horror, every blessing, every sorrow we experience is a perfect moment. The beauty of it, though, is that every joy and sorrow shall pass. This is the one thing in life that is certain! Everything passes! It is no longer something we should dwell on once it has gone. That makes for unnecessary suffering. We of course and certainly should take the time we need to mourn the passing of our dear ones and all the others who pass through our lives, but we must reach the understanding that it is exactly what was supposed to happen, or it wouldn’t have.

I am not saying that we should forget our dear ones once they pass, in fact, now that they have returned to the one great energy that we all are a part of, the great mystery of I AM, we welcome a new ancestor to the fold.  We have a new spirit guide to call on who is more in us than has ever been before.

We must now more than ever drop the guise that we are separate from each other, that one is male that one is female, beautiful or ugly. For all of us are a necessary part of the family we call our tribe. If we are to survive this great trial of our time, we must learn to smudge not judge!  By that I mean support each other, nurture each other, instead of judging each others’ behaviors and putting each other down. Just as we hope that others might not judge us. We must decide to drop the baggage and belief that one gender is more than another for we are all both gender and non-gender specific, and I know some of us will cringe at that, but it’s as true as can be. If we are to get through times like these, we must recognize that we are all drawn to our particular tribe because we are A PART of it, not APART from it. We all together combine to make the whole of its sum, which is US! I hope that one day we can all laugh at our remarkable naivety when we all realize that we are nothing more than the energy that has manifested in these times to share space with our self. You are me, and I am you; when I look in the mirror it is You that I see… And YOU make me live!
