The necessity
of One who abides
as Self
Through my life a few times a year a desire would arise in me to be free.
It might come from the gnawing of unhappiness, or from the pain and frustration of feeling ‘crippled’ by my mind and my inability to just express freely, to enjoy life.
Sometimes it would come with a spiritual book or teacher. Hearing that there is a way of living that is free and about Love. It would bring about a ‘Yes!’ inside and I would feel moved and passionate about living like this.
However, this desire would be mixed into a soup with my other desires and quickly I would find myself embroiled in the distractions of my life. Without even being aware of what was occurring, I would fall asleep on my Heart... again.
Even though I would feel a strong urge to make some kind of change in my life, nothing would ever take hold because I could not hold my strength of focus amongst the sways and pulls of life.
Elysha is One who abides constantly and consistently as the Heart, Self. He is like a roaring fire and through the privilege of sitting with Elysha daily my desire to be the Heart has awakened. It has become alive in me giving me the strength to bring my attention to who I am, just the aliveness flowing through my eyes. The strength is needed for me to come to a consistency of my own Heart. Without it I would have just gone on getting lost over and over again within the soup of all of my other desires - just like I used to.
I have seen many visitors come who think they know what Elysha is on about, only to miss out on an opportunity to begin their journey of self discovery. These visitors would leave to continue on with what they were doing before they came and visited - swimming around in the soup of all of their desires, just like I used to.
Elysha brings a simplicity that I am truly grateful for. He has clearly shown me who I am. He has been infinitely patient with me and lovingly brought me to a place where the journey of self discovery has actually begun. Now the life I have always longed for is finally becoming a reality. A most wonderful gift.
