Why are we so enthralled with nature, fine art and exquisite architecture? It's because these natural and man-made created things are beautiful.
Beauty is inspirational. And inspiration leads people to better places in their life. Today, it is apparent of the man-made constructs that are trying to destroy things that are beautiful. Compare Miley Cyrus to Marilyn Monroe. Both are not perfect human beings but their presence, behavior or representation in the world greatly differs. I believe that the "people" running the show are promoting ugliness and well, social media and the internet has brought out the beasts within us. Everyone views life through a different lens and we all have different opinions, that is just how life works. The more we degrade each other the more ugliness we produce inside and out. Have you ever seen something or heard something so beautiful it made you cry? That is because beauty has a way of speaking to our souls in ways that we cannot explain.

Today, so many people are confused about life. Some people go through life without a question or care in the world where others constantly question everything. Spiritually grounded individuals know we are here to develop the soul.
Life on planet earth is not easy, but that's the purpose and the point of soul development. The soul must struggle, suffer and experience hardship in order to grow. Similar to the formation of a diamond in nature, the carbon material must undergo high pressure and high temperatures in order to metamorphose into a carbon atom, which bonds with other carbon atoms under duress to create the diamond's renowned strength - as the world's hardest substance. The creation occurs deep into the earth's crust and diamonds reach the surface of earth via violent volcanic eruptions. If we want to be a diamond, we must develop our mind, body and soul. Sadly, the social engineering concepts of today root us to all things depressing, obese, poor and addicted. In order to reach the surface of the psyche one must undergo their own weathering from within.

My recent blog post, "Heaven and Hell Exists in Every One of Us," stirred additional thoughts about this topic. You cannot believe in heaven and not hell. And you cannot think that hell exists without a heaven.
Life is a constant battle between the light, the dark and the temptations. And what happens in the outer world are the same events that occur in our head. There are two wolves that live inside each and every one of us. A white wolf and a black wolf. A wolf from the light. And a wolf from the dark. Which one of these wolves do you want to feed? One wolf derives from love, empathy and compassion. And the other evolves from fear, negativity and scarcity. The light is our higher mind, our soul. The dark is our lower mind, the seat of the ego and weaknesses in the flesh. Keep bringing the light.

Regardless of your beliefs, spring and Easter symbolize resurrection and rebirth. The astrological calendar resets with Aries, a bold, daring and forward-moving energy to assist in the rebirthing process.
Just like nature, now is the time to re-identify, reevaluate or maybe rejoice over the blessings in your life. No matter what "brand" of Christianity you (don't) accept, the story and teachings of Christ are powerful. And his resurrection clearly identifies that when things "die" it is not necessarily the end of the journey. So whether your heart has been broken, a loved one has past, or maybe you lost a job, keep healing and shedding that old skin as a new you, opportunity or life is waiting just ahead.

Everything on this planet and in the universe is in motion. From the flow of the sea to the movement of the planet around the sun, life is constantly changing, growing and flowing. Stagnation has little to relevance in nature (with the exception of a swamp or puddle - and how does that energy feel?).
Spring is the time of the reawakening of ourselves and the little critters on this planet. It's the perfect time to reengerize our souls with something new - an art class, walks in nature - really anything to blossom our inner and outer worlds. Now is the time to "drain your swamp" and make a change in your life. The more we develop our minds, bodies and souls, we increase our vibrational frequency and raise the planet's consciousness.

The spring equinox arrives in a couple days. In last week's Sunspiration post, I discussed planting the seeds for rebirth. With spring arriving while the planet moves into Aries (the start of the zodiac sign) now is the time to assert energy and an action plan for the rebirth you seek.
What part of you seeks change? Is it a new hobby? Is it your attitude? Is it your love life? Life presents us opportunities everyday and we have the choice to do something about our life or not. The choice is yours. Put action toward the change you seek and desire. In order to recreate yourself, you the old and what no longer serves you must be let go and be destructed.

Spring is the season of rebirth. Everyday little critters are born and each day a tree buds a new blossom. Its the time to reawaken the spirit that is within.
What are you hoping for this 2018? Plant seeds of intention and place action on that thought. The action doesn't have to be anything grandiose, but baby steps toward the goal. For example, if you want to write a book, obviously you need to write but step one is to do your research on how to publish a book. Do you want to do the traditional route? Or the self-publish route? Each and every step (and intention) we make puts us closer to the life we want. Many people think of rebirth as this cathartic experience where we transform from larvae to butterfly. That can happen, but reality is that each and every step in our path is what makes us a butterfly.

What is destiny or fate? At some point, many people question their purpose in life. I believe our souls are sent here to complete a mission. To complete our mission, the heavens must do their job while we remain grounded and free of baggage and bullshit.
Everyone has some form of fear and insecurities, which is normal but remaining stuck in the same behavioral loop pattens prevents us from (or takes longer to) completing our mission in life. I do think if something is meant to happen, it will. But we must also take action and do our part while never losing faith in God. Stay grounded. Be patient. Let the heavens do it's thing. And never stop believing in yourself.

"Cleanliness is next to godliness."
Quoted by John Wesley in 1778, this "ancient" quote rings true still to this day. I've studied various forms of spirituality - Yoga/Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity - all of which prize cleanliness of the mind, body and soul.
Being clean is a sign of spiritual purity or goodness, and indicates one's moral compass guides decision making. A moral compass is the integration of dignity, well-being and integrity. Understand that heaven and hell exists within us, and we face decisions everyday to reach for the light or the dark. So if you're looking to get out of your ruts of low self-esteem, addictive behaviors or destructive heart-aches, you need to let your moral compass guide you to the light. People love the darkness, or "sin," because it's fun, exciting and full of emotional highs. If you want better things and people to come into your life, raise your vibration and let your moral compass do it's work.

Human life is not easy. I believe we are here to learn our lessons, pay our karmic debts and develop our souls.
No matter what happens in life, keep blossoming. In my 5 Stages to Spiritual Development blog post, a seed must be surrounded in complete darkness in order to progress the soul to the next step. There is an art and balance to blossoming. We must experience and endure the hardships, but it's important not to get stuck in that rut. Believe that you deserve better. Believe that you will grow. Believe that good things are waiting for you, you just need to do the work and keep a sound mind. And when this happens, the bee will come.
