Remember, we are souls in disguise. We are disguised in our body, in a body suit or, as Alan Watts called it, in our ‘bag of skin’. Remember, too, that though we only have one lifetime to act out, our soul is already loaded down by a heavy string of lives, past incarnations, anchored in the Dawn of Times.

Souls_No Such Thing As a Lost Soul [part1/2]
by C.C. Saint-clair • • 3 Comments
It is through a soulful link to our spirit and through the underlying principle that, though each challenge comes uninvited and is always most inopportune, we need to ‘actively’ accept all our disappointments and setbacks with an open heart. Accepting under duress and acquiring a ‘poor me’ victim status are not viable options. It doesn’t score us any points but this resentful passivity does make us sick. It forces us to make mistakes – sometimes irreparable ones.

The tale below was given to me a few years ago by my spiritual teacher. It’s time to share it. I am sure you will find easy parallels between what the little stream has to go through and what we need to surrender to get to the *other* side – beyond the low end of our ego and beyond the persona of this lifetime.

Whatever the need or the vacuum, the brain welcomes the opportunity to create something new. The brain then creates a fix to rectify the complications that have inevitably arisen. Most often, and always in the fullness of time, the brain also creates fixes for the fixes.
An epic disaster from the inside/out
by C.C. Saint-clair • • 2 Comments
More and more all around, we will have to interact differently with strangers, friends or enemies not yet recognized in this lifetime, as our cities, towns and suburbs come under the karmic whip yielded by Mother Nature, but not only by her.
Rich or poor, many more human-made disasters and tragedies will shape us into a more humble humanity.
The time to simply donate money and the time to simply donate our time are simply soon to be over.
If the writing is not truly ‘on the wall’, it has certainly leaked out of Deepwater.
All Equal_how *new* and unique are we? [part 3/3]

Unlike the caterpillar, we don’t metamorphose. Not unless we commit to an active path towards personal evolution – one that dictates a change, not through chants, crystals and visualization, but from rethinking thinking, rethinking what love is and doing our darnedest to generate it from the inside/out.

our karmic DNA has been meted out to us – in each lifetime – so as to give us the opportunity to amend our deeds, past and present – with the living – though we do not recognize each other in our new *body-suits*.
