Shadows of an untold story

Love

To me, it is the only force in the universe.
But we have to develop the infinite levels of it,
incarnate them, elevate them, it´s something you
have to go through as life.

All love is spiritual, one thinks that loving a men or a woman
isn´t so spiritual, but we could be wrong, life is a spiritual
process, love is an individual journey, a discover

 of who you are and that life, is temporary, the soul, the 

traveler is only passing through this process called living, 

and sometimes life gives you a push towards were you are 

supposed to be going, shakes you in a way that you are 

awaken so you can start listening to a deeper level of spirituality.

I now understand were I should go but that is thanks

to many kinds of studies I do.

When I discovered the archetypes a few years a go, I was

 saved from many doubts and fears, from a lot of pain, I 

understood life from a different perspective 

and it has helped me big time.

Now, when I face difficult times, I turn to see my life through

 the symbols of archetypes in the search of 
understanding better my life events and the big picture.

In my research, the story in my archetypal current experience,
I found it reflected almost as a copy in the ancient Greeks
knowledge and their gods and goddesses stories, I can now
perceive how much they understood life and how it works, to
bad this knowledge has vanished from the common men, 

 but it´s up to us to look for it if we are interested in learning,
the truth is always going to rise for it being the truth,
it can´t be changed, so it is there, waiting for us to discover it.

My myth, my archetypal story now, is so close to
my real life it is even magical, that helped me a lot, you can´t
imagine how much, to see my life events like this helped me ease,
 although it still hurts you understand were to lead those forces in
you that without this understanding, one can feel lost.

 The archetypes are always working in us,
no one is not being one, I think they are the colors in the palette
of the soul to work in this life and they have been present
since the beginning of time. Archetypes, they apply to
every soul.

Most myths can be used to see your own life and what is
interesting is that they can be embed with your own
colors and anecdotes, your own experiences and characters.
That is why they are so used in movies, books and songs.

Archetypes are our lessons, the journey the soul has to go 

through in order to understand more, I am grateful I have the

 benefit of teachers who have developed this understanding 

and that I am able to have found those who are perfect for me,

 some are just "normal" people, what I mean is that they are

 not famous guides or teachers if you want and they are the 

most important to me, the truth is, it's not easy to find one but it
is available for the honest searchers, so if you are searching,
 know that you shall find, the archetypes active in your
life now are your teachers so you should pay attention.

 Other guides have an amazing sharing path that are helping 

many through books and live workshops throughout the world, 

I follow Caroline Myss, who was my first approach to the 

world of archetypes and her book, Sacred Contracts really 

changed the way I perceive life and made me want to look deeper.

Then Carol S. Pearson and her book Awakening The Heroes Within 

fabulous book that opens your eyes to your own active archetypes 

and how to help them develop towards a more positive

color so you have a better life.

I also follow Robert Ohotto and his archetypal approach to astrology, 

he in fact was a Carolyn Myss apprentice, I think one of her 

bests so far for what I´ve heard from other students that I know. He really is 

amazing and shares a lot in his web page and in his Youtube.

Every time I join one of his classes I am listening like if he
were only talking to me alone! It´s amazing!

They have put Archetypal information in a new modern format 

so we can now understand it and apply it in a useful way in to our lives
but yes, it takes time to study all this.

Back to my own experience, I think now I will be really inspired

To create a better life for my self and also

 to create art after this new view,  you can really pull out a lot from

 your own life events, I am sure it can inspire you to find your 

own archetypal path too, I sure recommend you try it.

Some Archetypes you can read about now here
and google Greek myths for more. If you have information about this that
you would like to share with me, please do so, I´d be really grateful!

Having a way to express all your soul goes through is a

 blessing, art can help us process the pain and also the joys

 of seeing with a higher purpose of life.

Art heals, art is a process that helps us understand
 better and it also gives us joy, satisfaction, purpose, direction,
art is amazing! 

The gods have fallen

into human lessons

Shaken by thunders

awaken

to tons of flaws 

with a fire spirit

just like anyone,

beautiful, unique,

light, shadow,

living, trying,

hurting, loving,

cutting knives,

far, 

distant,

mud,

mist,

vanishing,

shadows of an untold story,

loosing shape

in the light of half of the truth.

Thank you life for an amazing journey!

Dear sunlight

 

We see life through the glasses of our own perspective, 

to overcome our culture and what has been planted in us

by circumstances in our lives is very hard and this has 

been reminded to me these days!

This year has been like a bucket of shocks, 

one by one they have been rudely thrown at my face, life 

is helping me awake in a strange hard way, specially the

 last one, which made me realize I became one of 

my worst fears, I conformed, I didn't really fight for my 

self, for me, for my dream, 

Yes, I have again, been scared of being hurt. 

I also put others first without even seeing it!

Weirdly, this also comforts my soul, that I think of others and

how I could hurt them so I don´t do it, this makes me feel

at peace with the world, with my consciousness but on the

other hand, I doubt about how much I should do it.

These days, they became dark days, in spite of spring, 

communication is the basis of any relationship, without this, 

one is destined to fall into misinterpretations and sadness, 

dreams may turn into nightmares.  

I feel lonely without communication, I feel left 

alone and that the others don't care. 

Why? Because I tend to make assumptions, some days

they are right but some are not and this leads to pain.

From now on,  before making any kind of assumptions and if

I can´t communicate, I will try to kindly ask my self:

Through the lenses of what I see what I am seeing?

Do I see events through the eyes of the past?

How, how can I see better?
How can I trust my interpretations better?

And I keep wondering:

What if all I saw was nothing like they intended?

And if they did, why should I make it real for my self?

Am I over protecting my self from the world?

What if all I saw was mocking but it was not? 

Do I need to know how others think so I can see anyhow?
Is my imagination going weird places?

Assumptions can put you in a inner battle that may drown you

and make you do things that you regret later on, specially for those

like me, who are still learning how not be over emotional,

but there it is again, lessons are learned and you keep understanding 

more of who you are now, who you want to be and learn to become it.

You,

sunlight,

untouchable,

 warm,

comforting my soul like nothing else,

making this world even more magical...

dear sunlight: 

let your hands embrace me in 

your lovely friendship, I´ll be 

the moon reflecting thee.

I don´t ask for anything but this.

 I was falling into numb

but the fire came and burned me deep,

so deep I can no longer be who I am.

I'll pick up the pieces 

build it up again

may time be my friend

may courage lead the way.

Life

Together we travel the rivers of life, 

discovering the amazing in us, in others, in the universe.

How wonderful it is to be able to be a witness of a little part,

piece, slice, that one mind can acknowledge, it really is a treasure.
Can you imagine to witness the whole picture?
Those are the kind of things in my mind. :)

For each of us is different, no one sees the world like you or 

me and that makes it even more special, that is how 

I undestrand we are all unique, the things each one understands

about life is what makes us different from others and in 

some cases, that is the cause of trouble too, we should learn 

to respect the differences and even try to learn from them, 

we could grow in consciousness because of being open 

to listen, probably that is the reason why life gave us 

relationships, to share those differences.  Sometime this 

sharing hurts and others feels like a blessing, in any case, 

one always wins, lessons are learned, life is ejoyed.

Learning from our relationships doesn't mean we should allow 

rudness or them trying to convince us that what they think 

is the truth for everyone and we shouldn't try to convince
anyone about our beliefs but that is a hard task thinking globally,
it has to be done individually for religion, politics and so
would´t agree with this for other reasons but how wonderful
 it is to not have walls, be open, to witness, to share, to grow,
expand. To me, that is love, that is growing in consciousness.

Life is a dream of the spirit

when the spirit awakens, the spirit knows who she is

others may tell her how to awake but only she

shall know when the time has come for it

and then, it´s all work, to be awaken and to stay awaken,

this is not an easy task, if there is a reason for it, it shall

be that this path is only for those who are true.

I am love

and love is what I do

like the ocean, 
wild and free

deep and unsolved.

I am heart

and embrace is what I do

for if I don't 

I am not true.

Life is an empty canvas,
life is pure and noble,
life is here for you,
life embraces us,
life is love,
life is 
who 
you 
are.

The flight of the soul is always lonely.

Of all our dreaming, 

stars are falling, 

the state of lullaby, 

were my feet

dance your harmonies,

and the soul is always longing, 

to see the light inside the whole,

to grow higher

the flight of consciousness.

Life is for the mind,

 for the heart,

to live, to kiss,

sail through understanding,

extend the awakened, 

fold the remains,

 become new,

enter naked 

towards the truth.

The searcher is always alone, 

the path is for two feet and one soul,

for that, the heart is strength 

and will the greatest power.
