In the storm...Today's Lesson: The Wind

Afternoon Outerself:

I decided to take time in the midst of the waves to write to you today. Not to the people that may or may not come by my page today, but to you, my blog, my outerself that sometimes can not connect with my innerself.

You're going through a storm right now, there is not doubt about it. You've chosen not to involve those around you in your storm, but it's here now. It's no longer approaching, it's here, in the midst. The waves of life are pounding the sides of the vessel that holds your spirit, mind, and body. It will attack them all, albeit it in different ways. Your outcome will be determined by the steps with which you take to weather this storm and to see it through. However, unlike mother nature's ways, there are no breaks in the clouds here, no brief moments of quiet time before the next round. You must address the attacks as the rain falls harder. For this wind, this rain, this thunder; is a molding process to test and set your course of life on the track predestined for you, long before your existence.

Addressing your Spirit (wind):

As the storm is now upon you, you feel the wind. While you can't see it, you know with all of your might that it has the capabilities to do great things, as well as the capabilities (if not given direction) to lose you in disarray. This wind....this Spirit that dwells within you, has come upon you with great force at this point in your life, because you have gone for quite some time neglecting it, and now it seeks to be a major player in your life. It doesn't seek to rule you, it seeks to comfort you. But little do you know that you have supressed your wind so long that it has become violent, likened unto the pressure of pipes, held back from releasing its steam. It will consume you, however you must control your affection towards it in order to fully understand the balance it has in your life. It doesn't come to kill, steal, or destroy. It comes to give life and give it more abundantly. But Outerself, you have neglected it. I say unto you, the only way you will be able to channel this forceful wind is to own up to your actions, take responsibility for the decisions that you make, and make your habits in line with the directional path that the vectors of this wind is taking you. Set your sails in a direction that allows the winds to carry you. For far to long now you have set them against this force and now it has come upon you to change your ways. Will you? Change your ways? Will you? Understand that you must be consumed by the wind in order to breathe? Will you? Realize that the path you have recently walked was treaded unnecessarily? Will you? For once in your life, do something different that the norm?

If you choose not to then I feel for us both. I feel for the pain that we will endure. I hope you realize that while I dwell on the inside of us, I feel pain. I feel the emptiness that you have helped to cause by not allowing the wind to take its place within us. I ask you today, no I emplore you, to understand the purpose of the wind. To understand that the reason it beats upon us so strongly is that it is trying to keep us from continuing down this path. It has seen where this path leads to, and asks us to hearken unto it. To allow it to carry us to a better place in life.

Will you? Outerself? Realize that we are not two, but one? Will you? Outerself? Realize that we are falling on hard times because we have choosen not to work together?

Will you? Help me, help us?
