Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

17 July 1998

I don't know how many times I've heard the song "Looking through my Father's Eyes" over the past week but it seems to be playing all the time. I don't remember being aware of a song playing so often. This one is particularly important because it mirrors a state of mind that I have been experiencing to some degree. It is as if I am looking through the eyes of him who created me. This time, there is a sense that this is a masculine entity or energy. I don't know why, that is just how it feels to me. This is not my physical father however, rather it is my spiritual father. I don't see him, I just feel his presense and feel my own consciousness shift so that I am looking through his eyes. This involves seeing me and observing what I do from a whole new perspective. For one thing, I can do no wrong ... everything is perfectly acceptable. There is nothing that I must do or not do. There is only being whom that I AM each and every moment that is HERE and NOW. Easier said than done. Perhaps, but this is the way to eternal life.

Source, the goddess energy is what flows through me as I've stated many times. This is a feminine creative energy. However, I have not "observed" life from that perspective only participated in allowing the energy to flow through me as it does now. The masculine energy observes and acts to rechannel the energies as needed to move creation in a new direction. This is divine will in operation. Our individual wills provide a limited representation of the greater ONE Will. They are meant to teach us that the flow of energy must be directed if results are to be achieved. However, they are also meant to be surrendered to something far grander than themselves.

We know that 6 is the first perfect number. Perfect numbers are complete, in that the sum of the parts equals the whole. Six has 1, 2, and 3 as it's only parts. One is the whole, unity, source, the Will that moves throughout all consciousness. Two is the Yin and Yang, duality, the breath, aware/not aware. Three is consciousness herself, the conscious / subconscious / superconscious trinity. It is also the threefold nature of God the Creator / Sustainer / Destroyer. As I write this, I am aware of a bronze statue of Shiva that looks down from the corner of the room that I am in. I bought the statue as a birthday present for myself a couple of years ago because I knew it was mine in some way. Shiva is the Destroyer aspect of God. In the statue, he sits in lotus position on a tiger's head and has a cobra around his neck. His face reflects a state of bliss.

Possessions are like that with me. When they are mine, I just know, and somehow they become a part of my life. With some possessions, over time it may strike me that they belong to someone else so they are sold or given away as appropriate. Anyway, there are only a handful of possessions that I feel connected to. Everything else is a nice to have and in some cases a nuisance to have. Possessions can become chains if we allow them to. Freedom is a difficult thing to achieve in this world. Life is incredibly complex and things are so interdependent that we have no choice but to accept some limits to assure an acceptable level of assuredness about the living conditions that we will face.

So, is my father Shiva? ... are we in the process of destroying a world that a new world might arise out of the ashes? Perhaps. Or is my father depicted by the large carved rosewood Chinese immortal in my living room who also is the key figure in an oriental reverse painting on glass that I am staring at as I type this. In either case, the realm is the same. The oriental immortal is associated with Love/Wisdom in my mind. This is the second ray energy that I serve.

Two and three show up prominately in the painting as well. The immortal and his consort are depicted as adults in the heavens, looking down observing their three kids near earth. Two of these are on opposite sides symbolizing duality or the Yin and Yang. They push the world forward as they hold onto it. The third kid is pulling the world via a rope extended over his shoulder. I've always liked this painting and knew that it directly applied to my mission in life. Maybe that is why my back is still sore. I'm pulling too hard. Or, better yet, the role I represent in the world is having to pull too hard. So, what must change to permit the pain to go away? Good question. Quit taking on tasks that are not yours to do. You always have the right resources and abilities to do those tasks that are yours without damage to your well being. This does not mean the work will always be easy. It means that it will be within your operational range of capabilities. Actually, it may be a little beyond to give you something challenging to strive to achieve.

So what does "Looking through my Father's Eyes" really mean. For me, it is far more than for most. It is not sufficient to see through human eyes ... but to see through my creator's eyes. Part of my creator is Self, a deeper part of myself. However, the greator creator is fall grander than this.

Another song is playing on the radio now, "Looking through your Eyes". How appropriate! "Here in your eyes, I see the Sun (Son) ..."

Be Happy and Create Well!
