Time is like a long endless footpath cutting through a virgin forest. As to where this footpath took its origins, shall we not reserve it for a more philosophical musing at a more convenient timing. On this long endless footpath, we will find giant bubbles the size of a full grown man or woman, with each preceding bubble equally spaced from the next in an infinite succession. These giant bubbles are the holding spaces of events on the Path of Time, such that, each bubble holds in complete memory an era of our lives and all the experiences contained therein. So in the progression of this Truth Analogy, we come to see that, the Consciousness of Man, tends to drift from one giant bubble into the next when the growth experiences afforded it in the preceding giant bubble is used up. Because, it is an inherent nature of Consciousness to keep expanding and keep on the ascent, thus naturally, the Consciousness of Man is magnetized towards growth opportunities that are constructive & benevolent.
The first giant bubble held our Infancy; from conception, through birth to when we took our first steps in the presence of warmth & joy. And all the familial relations & the loving friendships of all whose own presence contributed to the maturation of the Infant that we were formed a default setting, in that first giant bubble on the footpath of time. As infants we responded to the experiences afforded us in the first giant bubble by instinct, because we lived from a Sub-Consciousness as was required of the Consciousness maturation process, so we could form a more Surfaced Consciousness as we interacted with experiences outside of our inner imaginative world. And it must be mentioned that the imagination process is one where Sub-Consciousness; that is the Consciousness seated beneath all of our experiential rubbles roams & freely interacts with the worlds subsisting on Higher Dimensions of Reality and their associated Timelines. On those Higher Planes of Consciousness Interaction, yes there exist a default and dynamic interactive backdrop to tease our fancies, yet we are also afforded the singular opportunity to create as we move, practically calling phenomena into being by sheer Force of Will. I had to get that in there somewhere methinks! But anyways, in the first giant bubble we exist with significant degrees of healing & sorrows alike when we take our first steps and master the walk. And, the Soul & Body of the Infant knows & remembers its share of joy & pain.
Once we take our first steps, our Matured Consciousness exits the first giant bubble and enters the second giant bubble where the experiences charted on there affords us the opportunity to relish a growth of the atmosphere of Childhood. This second giant bubble offers Childhood nurture up to the point where we become Adolescents and enter Puberty, the beginning phases of our true unapologetic healing journeys, marked by the awakening & developmental growth of our sexuality, sexual characteristics & sex drives. Thus, in our Childhood years contained within the epoch of the second giant bubble, many are the experiences afforded the make of that second giant bubble, experiences that are qualitatively different from one individual to the next because of the unique differences inherent to our Spiritual Identities and their associated Karmic Containments. So in lieu of this progressive analogy, we will come to see that, each is afforded the experiences; that is people, places & events that are best suited to the Caliber of Beings we are where our Spiritual Identities are concerned, and it is these same experiences that afford us the interactive opportunities independent of moral or sentimental judgements in the face of these experiences proper, to finally allow us balance out the Scale of our Karmic Loads, to all they may be. This Balancing of Karmic Scales assumes many unconventional forms in the midst of our interactions with our Childhood experiences & escapades. Some breathe pure joy into our Spirit, and in this we are rewarded for some Light Deed effected in a distant Lifetime. And some funnel devastative sorrows into our Souls, in this too there is present here a certain reward for its own perquisite conduct in a distant Lifetime.
The joys & sorrows are our Badges of Honor & Conquest we carry with us when all the experiences afforded us in the second giant bubble is used up, and need be that we move on into the third giant bubble of Adolescence on the Unending Footpath Of Time. As we make the transition and settle into the next bubble, we are kept warm & inspired by the Joys of Childhood, memories we tend to recluse into when the turbulences contained in the next phases of our growth & maturation hit us. The sorrows also play their fated parts in all we become; that is the people & places we choose to interact with, the strength & steam of our sense of worth & confidence, the purity of our trust, the unconditionality of our love, the force of our drive, the stability of our discipline, the breadth of our imaginations, the tenderness of our touch, the dauntlessness of our courage and the wholesomeness of our forgiveness. All these are founded upon the interactive foundations afforded us in the second giant bubble, where the evolved Infant was met with Childhood experiences infused with the demands of their Karmic Balancing to allow for a maturation unto further growth.
Some of these Joys born of our Childhood years never leave us, as we learn to ride upon them like wishful horses when our Souls are steeped in dire need of motivation. And the sorrows too, the ones we do not attach a certain sense of shame & betrayal to, tend to heal quickly with our progress in life, and the ones we attach those sentimental values of shame & betrayal to given the context & persons involved, also tend to carry themselves on in our Spirits long enough till they become a defining part of our Emerging Consciousness, because they weave their own Energy Caliber into our own Energy Identity, so we become with them, and they subliminally influence our affects, thoughts and the ensuing deeds born of both.
Our peek into the Giant Bubbles placed on the Continuum of Time, to serve as Holding Spaces for the Events of our Lives, at varied Epochs of our developmental growth will given this narrative discourse wait with the second giant bubble of Childhood, just so we can taper our perspective on the intent of interest. You see; Who we know ourselves to be, What we believe we are, and All we are confident in aspiring to & achieving in our Adulthood are to a large extent predominantly founded upon the happiness of the Child within, such that the dialectical opposites of all these must by reason of this solemn analogy be tied to the unhealed sorrows of the Child within. Because though the Infant matures by virtue of its interaction with the experiences afforded it in the first giant bubble, and exits same upon using up all the growth opportunities contained therein, a Light Memory is left behind to hold traces of the Infant’s joy, and a Shadow Memory to hold traces of the Infant’s sorrows. Same is effected within the confines of the second giant bubble of Childhood when the Child finally exits to enter Adolescence. The point of purport here is that, the Light & Shadow Memories holding traces of our joys & sorrows to all they may be, bear significantly upon the progress of our; growth, drive, development, sense of Self, worth, worthiness & purpose and confidence at successive stages of our walk on the Footpath of Infinite Time. Such that if as Infants & Children we relished a certain warmth of interactivity with our caregivers & guardians, there is a strong likelihood that we will develop into Adults with a marked ability to form, sustain & develop truly meaning relationships steeped in love & respect. The opposite is so true, and these cut across the varied strata of our lives, from the power to imagine, through the courage to dream, to the ability to work, achieve & conquer all that has been imagined & dreamt of.
So again, by virtue of this progressive analogy, we come to see that; the mental ceilings & blocks, the feelings of inadequacy, the need to belong despite one’s Self, the impoverished sense of Self-Worth, and the dampened fire to imagine, work & achieve in our Adulthood amidst many others, are traits tied to the existing traces of Shadow Memories present within the first & second giant bubbles of our Infancy & Childhood years. Such that, for the Adult to clear these blockages off of their footpath so they can rise into their highest potential, there is a need for a visitation to the first & second giant bubbles of Infancy & Childhood, to clean out the Shadow Memory traces, and reabsorb the Light Memory traces. How is that effected is the inquiry of interest at this point? Remember how we expressed the fact that, it is the Consciousness; that impersonal aspect of you that represents your Awareness, very much the one doing the traveling from one giant bubble into the next. So it is the Consciousness that carries with it the joy & sorrows from one giant bubble into the next, and leaves traces of them behind to sustain the existence of the preceding giant bubble. Thus, it is the Consciousness that must be sent on a journey back into the giant bubbles of Childhood & Infancy, to intimate Awareness once more with the traces of our Shadow Memories where healing of a certain marked dysfunctionality in our Adulthood is called for. These traces of Shadow Memories are like smaller tennis-ball sized dark bubbles floating in the giant bubble, and when our Consciousness penetrates say the giant bubble of Childhood, immediately the smaller bubbles align in order of chronological time because they arose out of experiences born of certain distinct moments, and the Concentrated Consciousness moving through the giant bubble pops them like a pin does an inflated balloon. The Adult who travels through their own traces of Shadow Memories to heal themself will feel the sensations felt, in the Infant & Childhood experiences that gave rise to the Shadow Memories they are working through. And though it will feel as though you are reliving the same experiences all over again in that moment of healing, phase through it with the Awareness that it is what needs be done for healing to be engendered and made whole, because often times the way out of our entanglements is the way through them.
Meditation is the Time Machine & Portal that transports the Consciousness from Present Awareness into the Awareness of our Infancy & Childhood. The slow intake of breath, and the slow surrender of breath, in a very quiet solitary space stills the Soul, and in the midst of that stillness, our Consciousness descends to establish roots with the Core of our Being. The path leading from our Present Awareness to where the Core of our Being will be found is the same path upon which the Consciousness of the Adult encounters Shadow Memories of forgone years, they are the monsters & jagged hills on this path the Pilgrim must contend & best to reach the Core of their Self. You need not exhibit any martial gymnastics but keep up in the gentle intake & surrender of breath to sustain the Awareness that; you have already outlived those Dark Ages of Infant & Childhood years, and that you are but visiting as a matured Adult to make peace with your own Self. Thus as the Pilgrim persists in patient perseverance, the Shadows fall and the Lights come back on, with plenty of room cleared for a restoration of potential they never thought existed within them. In all these are the Redemptive Graces of His Holy Name seen & perceived, with the Pilgrim freed to truly live!
