In her magazine this month, Oprah talked about sharing her wisdom with her 21 year old self…if she knew then what she knows now…

I wanted to share what she wrote in her “What I Know for Sure” page. She says, “No matter what you’re struggling through – no matter the pain or anguish – you can go inside behind your mind and observe it happening to you. Whatever it is, is isn’t you. You are the observer.
When you come to know this, you realize that even though the canvas of your life is painted with daily experiences, behaviours, reactions, and emotions, you’re the one controlling the brush.
What a wonder! It would have been nice to know this at 21. I could have saved myself a lot of heartache and self-doubt. But to fully understand, at any age, that you are artist of your own life – and can use as many colors and textures as possible (and erase when necessary!)… now, that’s a revelation.

This morning on CBC they were speaking about this. On the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) 2 scientists were interviewed at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre who both said that they did not think the mammography program has been helpful. 15 to 25% of breast cancers are not a problem and should just be watched. The problem is the doctors don’t know which those 15 to 25% are.

Everyone is merely an actor and everything just a prop. The production.. is that of YOUR LIFE. You.. my dear.. are the star, the director and the producer. Your very own reality show. As for the people around you. It’s ok to feel the connections and the bonds, for they have come into your life for a reason. We are beings of love that are designed to share this love with others. We need each other to support, love, encourage and inspire one another. The secret however is in embodying non attachment, by realizing that they are only in your life so that go through these experiences. Which ultimately is the reason that we all exist in
this world. To experience..so that we many continue to grow, evolve and ascend on our journey.

I watched the movies, “Descendants” and “Water for Elephants” and in both cases, in their own ways, the main topic was illusion – living your life NOT in truth but with blinders on. Unfortunately this will not serve you well in this day and age, and with the energy that exists. You can no longer avoid the ‘signs’ for they are always there.

Do not create a story however if a sign to change something in your life keeps re-appearing then do not ignore it. Acknowledge it and deal with it. It may mean ending a relationship or changing jobs or moving residences. It may also mean opening your heart to someone special.

Choose truth over illusion.

I am passing on these words of wisdom:

“A rose has no need to tell the daffodil it should be red and round,” the angels say, “and an orange doesn’t try to convince a lemon it should be less tart.” You are all unique and beautiful as you are. It is ok to be different. It is ok to disagree, especially if it is done with love.

Thoughtful Tuesday: Freedom

a message from Hillis Pugh
Tuesday, 13 March, 2012

My Thought this week is about Freedom.

Yesterday I was waiting on the train to go to work and felt a lightness, a sense of joy wash over me. “I have the freedom to create the life desired” is what came to me. This has been a personal theme of mine for the past few week, with the addition of learning more of unconditional love. No matter what was/is felt or circumstance or situation experienced, it has to be fed love. Love frees us from self imprisonment of the ego. The ego tells us that it well be better, but our soul, true self knows it is already better. Yes experiences makes us older souls jaded and trust less, but in that release we welcome more loving energy. I am thankful for the younger awakened souls as they are are examples of living in love and freedom.

To be free means to have the courage and confidence to live in your purpose, to follow your heart in love. When we are free, we release the thought from others projected upon us. Our freedom stems from knowing we are already free and not bound by standing laws of society, but bound by the law of our heart.

Here is one of my personal favorite poems, I want to share…

Free to be Me

Free to me be

Releasing all energies imprinted on this soul

No longer controlled by outside forces

The illusions created to mask the truth

Now removed

Leading to the evolution of greatness

Bonded with the true essence of immortality

The Source of all creation

Released all intimidation

A sacred oath of words

Forming a bond between two

Creating the channel of wisdom

Honor is among the trust and trusted

Falling skies speaks truth

As the moon conceals the unspoken

Only to revel with the rise of a new

The mind is unchallenged

With words to say

Without harm

To find the peace in release of fallacies

Speaking in fragments

Speaking in tongue

The only one has won

A barrier created

Through cues of misunderstood emotions

A wave of shifts to anchor feelings leading to thoughts

All there truly is

Is just me

Created a connection of what there is

Just me

Released all that isn’t me

Leaving just me

Free from the prison that held me

I am the captive and captured

I am responsible and the hold the key to my freedom

This is me living life as it should be

Free

Free to learn

Free to live

Free to love

Free to enjoy

Free to experience

Free to confide and no longer hide

Free to be me

Today, know you are free!
