Moment of Recollection

Royalty and status in our times, seem to be defined by how people outside of yourself perceive you, and how high they place you on their value system. Yet true royalty, for me at least, is when you are at the front line of your own being. When you choose to define yourself by your inner knowledge, by the part of you that holds onto the perspective of reality and of your experience individually, the part that values privacy, without any outside projections of other people. I wish the people of today would have this one realization, that their experience of their current life and moment is only experienced ultimately and most definitely by them No matter the surroundings or connections they have made or were born into , but then again, for that realization to develop, one must know him or herself, and face their being with full acceptance in order to transform and grab a full hold of their existence. One must go on this journey. while having knowledge and if not knowledge, then faith. that they are supported by the energies that make life and breath even a possibility in this universe and chaotic nature. Once one holds this quality, the facing of their light and dark sides will be inevitable as it is the key that will open the doors of fear through the courage of One's spirit and soul. My advice at this point would be, as we step on this journey, We need to learn the art of cleaning the darkness with light, through shining on the scars of one's being, standing calm and still, while the pain seeps through the revealed scar and the light seeps in instead to heal it. In this process, there will be a domino effect and storms that one will go through. But once through, the process is done(or repeated depending on the number of scars) and you elevate and evolve. step by step, no relevance to how long it takes or what's left and what is gone.. In this process, be tender and go easy on yourself. Each person has a unique and different experience that is entirely their own. So don't rush yourself through and tear yourself apart. Take your time. If you don't, ending up in the void, in the heart of darkness and in the cold is a known result. A remark must be made because there are two sides to the journey. One must know that the dark side is not the bad part of existence. Nor is the light the good side. In short, There is no good or bad in existence, there is simply just an existence that has certain forces in play. Now back to how one approaches the light side, Light, the same way as the darkness, hides the scars but differently. If unchecked, and is allowed to shine too brightly It will blind you from the wounds it has. Wounds that are covered by too much light will lead to over-confidence, to arrogance and ignorance, to overwhelming pride that has no ground. which will burn the person. and so, in play comes in the dark to tend to the overexposed bleeding wounds of light to tone it down and hold your being together from being scattered across and faded into the light. This is the natural dance of light and dark. The soul constructs its journey in order to come into union with the universal reality and evolve into an understanding that lets us stand beside Atom,God,Love, the Universe. Or any other name that resonates with you dear reader, many names to a feeling that cannot be described but only felt. One may feel it on occasions or not at all. Once you go through the journey Your experience of living will be that feeling itself. and that is when you become royalty, true royalty.
