Ask and You Shall Receive

Waiting and preparing a space for our Twin Soul takes energy, effort and a tremendous amount of desire. As everything goes and comes in cycles and rhythms, I too can feel the rhythms of desire for him stronger at times, and weaker at other times. Life gets in the way and distratctions serve to lead me off the path of wanting and desiring to be with my Twin Soul. Perhaps others feel the same as they go about life. Before you know it, evening time is here, it's dark and you feel like retracting, cuddling up on the coach while reading a book and sipping on tea. Then you realize that the bulk of your day went to your employer to making him or her wealthy, and little was done to build your own character and focus on your life instead. The same goes for just another year that has passed. Think about it, we're about to close off 2008. Another year where our Twin Soul has delayed...

So how can we foster and nurture this desire deep within? I often go to Walter Russell's books, and especially to the Divine Iliad, where it states:

"Seek ye, therefore, what ye will in Me and ye shall find it."

"But sit ye not and ask, acting not, for thy desire will not come to thee unaided by thine own strong arms."

I love the analogy of a seasaw. The fulcrum is the power, the desire is in the children wanting to make the seasaw swing. Nothing happens until the two children give it a go (and they put action behind their desire). The actual power of the seasaw, however, is in the fulcrum, the place that remains still. So it is with God and our desire. God (or Light) is our still fulcrum from where we get all of our power and inspiration and even a roadmap of how to make our desires a reality. So the power is here, we are co-creators with God to create ANYTHING we so desire. And yet, nothing happens if I don't back up my desire and take advantage of the power given me, and I don't bring to fruition the desire by the actions I take.

"What actions can I take to bring this Twin Soul into my life?" you might ask.

It's really simple. Live as if s/he is already in your life, pretend that s/he is already there living with you, coming home to you every day, and before you know it, s/he will be there. Prepare your place of living as if your Twin Soul is coming home every night, make it pleasant, inviting and romantic, make it sacred and holy and keep it that way. Don't meddle with "friends with benefits" just to "hold you over." Doing so will only keep him or her from coming to you. Keep your place sacred, keep your heart and your soul sacred by tuning into him or her frequently throughout the day. Write cards and letters, especially now during the holidays and Valentine's day is just around the corner. Date them and put them in a special box for when you can hand them over in real life. Put energy into your relationship "as if" your Twin Soul is already here.

Walk about your day with him/her by your side (energetically speaking). When you think about him or her, smile, let others see that you're in love with your Twin Soul. That you're taken and occupied by a special love that only you and your Twin Soul can complete. BELIEVE that s/he exists at this time. It's only a matter of time until you see his or her face...

Appreciation of the Day

My dear Beloved, as I am watching nature and the still instinctual animals of our planet, I realize that the concept of give-and-take is completely absent. It simply doesn't exist. What does exist, however, is a give-and-regive energy that keeps the circle of abundance going on and on. Rain falling from the sky never gets rejected by the soil, but instead is received and absorbed with gratitude. Out of the overflowing of this receiving, the soil has no choice but to give the gift back to the skies in form of dew, clouds, and fog. And the skies gratefully accept this beautiful and magnificant gift, only so it too can overflow with the gift itself by converting it into rain once again so it can be given back to the soil. And so the circle goes on and on. It's a circle of giving. And expectations are nowhere to be found within this sacred concept of nature.

Love is the only form of energy that cannot be received. It can only be given. And only in the GIVING is our love blessed with the immediate feeling of having received an amazing gift.

To give is truly a blissful state to be in. How I wish to approach my union with you in this way.

Yet how often do I remember someone wanting to do something nice for me and how I would simply squash the gift by saying: "Oh, you shouldn't have!"

The soil never closes its arms to the skies by saying: "Oh, you shouldn't give me this precious gift of rain today!"

And yet we do this to people all the time. And oh, how I apologize to all whose gifts I have ever "clipped off."

What I appreciate about you, my Beloved, is all that you willingly do for me and us as a union. Thank you for going the extra mile to come see me, for driving long hours while being tired, because being with me is the most important thing to you. Thank you for giving so unconditionally of yourself and for allowing me to receive your amazing gifts, and holding my space if ever I falter and reject them, when in fact I'm simply overwhelmed with your giving. Thank you for your patience, for your guidance and for your unconditional love and leadership to being the one to bringing the sun's light to this relationship.

And I await you with reverance...

November Topic: What are Twin Souls?

I am so engulfed in getting a good grasp on the term "Twin Souls," that I decided to dedicate the entire month of November to writing about it. If I want to buy a house, I first must know what exactly I want. Do I want a small house or a big house? A 2-story house or a 1-story house? Hardwood floors or carpet? Views, no views? With my clear picture in hand I can go to the realtor and tell him or her what exactly I want. Similarly, with a clear picture of who I am (first and foremost) and then knowing that my Twin Soul is my energetic idential Twin, I will go out into the world looking for him, knowing exactly what I'm looking for. Guess work and "what ifs" and "maybes" and "could he be the one" are immediately eliminated. And the path is made straight.

The more I read and meditate, the more I am feeling connected to my Love. Having said that, I pray and intend to make my call for "the one" a powerful echo, which undoubtedly is on its way to returning to me...
