September 2013 Newsletter
As the intensity of August melts away, we come to an awareness of attachments that we are holding on to that keep our lives from moving forward. We are called to let these impediments go. What we thought we could get from them, cannot be gotten as they are holding on to the past. As the letting go occurs, new chapters and a renaissance await us.
Another aspect of September that is prominent is how there is a much greater awareness of the direct connection of our thoughts and what is going on in our lives. Every negative thought about anyone or anything is an attack on ourselves and our confidence. Hell is our own making and our unloving thoughts are what keep us there. The alternative to unloving thoughts is blessing. September is a month of blessing and letting go. Judgment adds to everyone’s suffering. It stops the flow, constricts our minds to attack and self-attack.
Blessing helps rather than blames. It helps the world and it helps us. If blessing and letting go are practiced assiduously then glimpses of our true identity as a Child of God become apparent. We know ourselves as love, light, spirit and innocent. In our sinlessness is our holiness. This allows every good thing and dissolves all pain and negativity. Our true identity has been buried under the myriad of self-concepts we built for ourselves to give us an identity apart from the Oneness of Heaven. We did this because we are so attached to our egos, the identity we built through judgment, pain and blame. This hides our holiness. God in His Holiness created us in His likeness. There is just the chance that people can experience our real identity this month by letting go of identities we have invested in that really aren’t us. They gave us jobs that weren’t ours and needs we didn’t really have and this led to ever more pain that anchored us even more in this dream world.
There is a peak in the middle of September where light can shine through into our lives making direction and meaning clear for the rest of our lives. It is a blessing on the world, but as Thoreau stated, “… only that day dawns to which we are awake…” so let us be awake.
If letting go and blessing have been practiced, there is a great harvest that is available in the second half of the month. This occurs in our outer life as well as in our interior life. There are spiritual jewels available where it is possible to build inner treasure. New levels of love and joy are available. This opens more friendships and fun but this part of the month can also give us the glimpse of who we really are. This corrects our direction toward a more meaningful life. As we get closer to our real Self, our fullness and effectiveness grows so we need less and give more. We also become more miracle-minded and in concert with God are able to bring more miracles to the earth in its need. Every negative event in our lives is tied up with old guilt, self-concepts and self-attack. But the light inside us saves us from this and this is our real Self.
So have a happy time of release in September. Every little upset shows attachments and self-concepts. These are what we are called to let go of. We can trace any little upset back to huge caverns of emotion still within us from unfinished business. Every little irritation can be traced back to fury hidden inside. The grace of September shows in the release of the past and what cannot sustain us. Every upset shows where we put our trust in what we only thought could sustain us but is what we are called to let go of. A treasure awaits you if you succeed.
May your awareness and the happiness it brings be greatly increased. May you find your island of jewels this month. May you know your fullness and the sharing that makes all the difference for you and the world.
