Gouging with Blessings



Gouging with Blessings

Blessings were being prepared for someone I know and care about. I was brought into the place where this was happening and allowed to watch.

Ingredients were gathered together for each one; they seemed like colored energies of various shapes, assembled into combinations that made no sense to my unknowing eyes.

A brown-skinned woman was overseeing the process, and she reminded me of someone serving food at a soup kitchen for the homeless – compassionately indifferent. There were always infinite numbers of people needing to eat and desiring blessings.

She had a helper, who was also non-effusively competent. They did this all the time, made blessings for people who thought their case was the worst thing ever.

Of course I wondered what these particular blessings could be, but remained clueless. Nevertheless, a little later I was shown something about one of my own blessings.

My god, what pain! My heart felt as though gouged with a wood working tool.

“Why?” I asked. “If this is a blessing, why does it hurt so much?”

And the answer . . .

“To make room for love.”

  2. I so appreciate your writings here. Yesterday i saw visions and my brain started to freeze and my heart felt heavy and ssd .,undescribable really. I stopped my work and ran outside to lay in the grass feeling it all , the fear rise and give way to peace. i felt so finate and infinate at once. I gave some words not knowing if i'd make it through. The voice said this is required. The red and white truck came blew some veins. no rooms abvaible THANK GOD . Strength returned slowly. I wepted quietly int the passenger seat on the Way Home. realizing the importance of what happened. My heart set free,, its raining outside a gentle rain and i feel full of LOVE.

  6. That is such a cool pic of the violin being carved out. It is my most favorite instrument. Such powerful emotion rides of those vibrational waves. Great image means so much.
