Soul or ego?
Are you seeing the soul, or the ego?
Whenever we feel judged by someone, it’s either a mirror for us, or fear coming up for them. I realised today that sometimes I’m interacting with a person’s ego, rather than their soul.
Whenever an interaction doesn’t feel good for you, train yourself to check in – is your ego talking, or your soul? Are you responding to the needs of their ego, or to their soul’s?
Souls want love and peace and happiness for everyone. Egos are selfish and scared and defensive.
Souls see that we are all connected and can unite in love. Egos see themselves as separate and alone.
Souls want to bring us together. Egos want to keep us apart.
Souls are compassionate. Egos only see what they think will serve them.
Shift your focus. Look for the soul. When you interact from a soul level, that connection will give you the moments of happiness, love and completeness your ego craves but doesn’t know how to get
The dreamer of the dream
She listened to the wind outside her window, but no longer felt scared.
The wind could no more hurt her than the rest of her dream.
It could bang at the windows of her soul, but could not come in. It was no more real than the other dreams she dreamt, trying to keep herself safe from all the perceived dangers of the world.
Despite knowing for some years that all her thoughts produced form at some level, she only recently realised the power this gave her.
She could choose how she learned. She could choose how to grow.
She could choose what to heal, and how to truly see others.
She could choose to forgive, to not judge, to be humble, and above all, kind.
Every time she fell down on those things, she had the opportunity to learn them again, and try to do better.
The quicker she learned, the easier life became.
It all comes down to this – who did she choose to be?

Love’s deeper commitment
And nobody has to walk with you. Ever.
At some point, only Truth will satisfy. A living Truth, renewing itself each and every moment, the wild Truth of the open heart.
When Love and Truth are One, when the Commitment is deeply rooted in the breath, we can finally face each other without resentment, and explode into the most melancholy sunsets, held in the most profound joy.
Walking alone, together, alone. – Jeff Foster
Alignment
When we say one thing, and do another, it leaves room for interpretation. It leaves room for confusion. It leaves room for fear, and unhappiness.
When we say one thing, and act in a way that is not representative of what we say we want, or who we say we are, we are out of alignment. A part of us is operating from a place of fear. What is stopping us owning what our heart is telling us is right for us? What is holding us back from being true to ourselves and having courage in our convictions? Are we scared of being judged? Are we scared of failing? Are we scared of hurting others with our truth?
We can only be judged when we judge ourselves.
We can only fail when we believe there is an option that isn’t meant for us.
We can only hurt others with our truth when we choose to believe we are separate and that our truth and highest good is different and separate from others’. Let me be really clear:
What is loving and good for you, is loving and good for everyone else. We are all connected. There can be no other way.
Show up. Honour yourself. Honour how you feel. Trust yourself. Trust that what is right for you, IS right. Full stop. Don’t feel the need to hide it by saying something different or acting against your truth. Get into alignment. Match your thoughts to your words to your actions. Watch everything become simpler as you become congruent with the truth of who you are
