Recreating a Meaningful Life (originally posted 7.5.2012)

Seems like the energies that are penetrating us and discombobulating our lives at present—releasing all the old memories from our somewhat damaged psyches—all those fantasies, untruths, and self-deceptions that once filled us with such delusions of this reality—what we thought our lives to be—our tainted self-beliefs of whom we were and what amazing tasks we had yet to perform before we died.  I think all those things we once hid behind as reasons for doing or not doing something impactful to ourselves and for others, are coming to the surface now for proper release.

We’re letting go of our delusions.

We are clearing out our self-deceptions, because to be who we truly are, we have to let go of all that we are not.

Yes, in my humble opinion, here we now are, like the used water glass that has sat long on a dusty shelf whose remaining contents had long ago grown dark and stagnant, thick and slimy, finally dehydrating day by day into nothing more than a crusty residue still caking the sides of the hollow container.  

It’s funny, but in some ways, those decades-old, self-deceptions never completely dissipated as we moved through our lives—they just dried out and caked on our insides. We’re just a dirty glass from ages past with residues of what we once were, or more likely thought we were, still coating the insides of it.

What a lovely picture, eh?  Here I am, in the here and now, needing to replenish myself from the presently available water tap, but all I’ve got is this dirty old glass to use.

So,…perhaps it is time to crank up the dishwasher (that’s ME in our house) and give that old glass a good scrubbing before we try to refill it with nourishing liquid to replenish our souls.

In essence, I think that’s what’s happening in our world at present.

That’s what is happening to us in our lives. We are getting our contents dumped out completely and getting a good scrubbing before we refill with the good stuff.

We are recreating our lives to be more meaningful and pertinent to a higher consciousness existence.  And unfortunately, we are getting some suds in our eyes and ears in the process, and that’s not pleasant.

But just try to imagine how nice it will be to get that cool, clear drink of well water from a crystal-clean glass that you’ve just polished yourself.

Take a drink of the ‘good stuff’ now and see if that doesn’t taste even better than it might have before you cleaned that glass. I think it will.

Hang in there! It will get better. Just keep polishing your glass.
