The Galaxy Within / Without

Within me is a galaxy I have explored many, many times. Within me is galaxy in which holds all life. The galaxy within, is the same as the one without; only I have the power to Love inside and out. 

                Earlier this week I talked about what it means to show up for ourselves and putting in the energy into nurturing our souls and showing ourselves the love we yearn for. To add on to this topic, I want to go more into detail about the internal aspects which alter once we have done the shadow work and cleared some of those lower emotions and how it affects the whole. 

                Once you begin to awaken to all those essences within that were trying to be heard, you sometimes feel a sense of vulnerability, and nakedness. Like there is nothing left of you… but yourself. And the bareness you feel from within, to without; is the same vastness of the universe you feel and see.  It is the micro and macro, the all infinity. It is complete nothing, and absolute everything. It is where not only your truth resides, but universal truth as well. This is the galaxy within us.

                The more you tap into to your internal universe the more the external will match it. It all begins from within to without. This is how you create the world you wish to live in. You create your sacred space within, and expand it out. So that whatever you do or whatever you create, it is an extension of that sacred space. It is a part of you. A part of the whole. This realization is life-changing; for the self and for the whole. We realize our power and sovereignty of being able to change the world, just by altering the one we live in.

                Speaking in terms of this type of vastness is what leads us to the reality that we are all One. It shows that if what is in our external reality is but an extension of ourselves and the galaxy within, then literally we are One with what is in front of us at all times… it is US. Whether that be animal, human, or plant, it is all an aspect of ourselves; it would not be in our reality if it wasn't. This is The Universal Law of Oneness.

                So we not need to BECOME enlightened or BECOME a better version of ourselves. We must UNRAVEL. Until all that’s left is the Truth. And the truth shines like a million stars forming cosmos around our veins and into our hearts. It awakens the galaxy within us that knows these divine principles, and knows the power of creation and acts upon with loving intent. This is how we bring peace on earth.  We are ALL and We are ONE.

Love, Wisdom, and Power

                The three essences in which we live by and expand are the ones that make up the Threefold Flame. The three flames that form this trinity are love, wisdom and power. By experience, we are continuously expanding and transforming this threefold. We go through heartbreak and learn a little more about love, we explore the unknown and in turn gain more wisdom; we go through sacrifice and learn more about power. These essences are that which make up our life force. The desire within us.

                We ignite the pink flame of Love by knowing what it feels like to love without any conditions. We love without attachments and learn the virtue of love that is free and boundless. We see that which others call true love is all love in itself. We learn that compassion doesn’t only comfort but it heals. And that the love beaming from our souls is a love that sees no limits, and no labels- only that same love in return.

                We spark blue flames of Wisdom when we allow our soul to speak. When we merge and integrate the higher heart, with the higher mind. Our hearts have been on a journey and have let go of every part of it, but the wisdom gained. And we use that wisdom not to input it on others and force it into their truth, but to light up our own. Words do not need explanations when you are speaking from whatever truth is in your Now. They will be effortlessly understood. And living in that space of openness and understanding, allows you to not only be a clear channel for your higher self and divine wisdom, but allows you to understand what others are saying without judgment or confusion.

                Wisdom fuels the fire to your Power. Your soul sparks vibrant yellow flames of integrity and empowerment. We see that true power comes when we have stood in our integrity and lived by the words of our soul. This does not mean we never fear, it means we walk through fear untouched. Unattached. Because we know our power isn't within our fear, it is within our Love and Wisdom. And we live by Love, Wisdom, and Power not as laws in which we abide by, but as essences we are.

                This trinity speaks upon that which fuels our desires. We all want love, and have our own ways of receiving it. We all wish to be intelligent and have different means of stimulating our minds. We all strive to be self-assured and feel empowered in different ways. Embrace whatever Love, Wisdom, and Power means to you and watch your fire grow. This is our driving force, the flame that ignites enlightenment. The holy grail. All which we seek is within us. There are flames ready to be sparked!
