Looking at the Bridge Between the Spiritual and Physical

This morning I awoke with a thought and message that began after reading a comment yesterday. Before I begin, I want to preface this by saying that I share from my personal perspective as an ordained minister, spiritual counselor, and fellow traveler upon the path of remembering, aligning, and embodying.

What I share is meant to be taken into your own place of stillness. Sit with it. Feel into it. Ask yourself how it aligns with your own path. If it does not resonate, then simply let it go.

I often say that we may not want to immediately reject new ideas or perspectives simply because they do not fully align in the moment. Sometimes it is not that something is wrong, but that we are simply not ready for it yet. If something is meant for us, it will often return again when the timing is right.

However, I also want to emphasize that if you are struggling physically, mentally, or emotionally, please seek professional support and assistance when needed. Spiritual reflection and guidance are not a replacement for proper care.

The title of this message refers to the reminder that all things are connected.

Manifestation often begins first within our thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or energetic states before expressing outwardly in the physical world. Likewise, imbalance or disease may begin within one aspect of ourselves and eventually affect others. Stress can manifest physically. Physical illness can affect emotional well-being. Emotional strain can influence mental clarity and spiritual connection.

Because of this interconnectedness, it is important for us to become aware of when we are able to align with our higher self and consciously work toward transforming inner imbalances — and when we need additional support, guidance, or healing assistance in our lives.

My messages are simply reflections and guidance meant to point toward possibilities. Each of us must still seek the support, wisdom, and discernment necessary to make our own choices and transformations.

That being said, I return now to the message that came through this morning after reading a comment regarding the line between compassion and enabling. The comment reflected upon whether caring deeply for another can sometimes reach a point where we unintentionally help them continue patterns that are no longer serving them.

Evidently, something within me continued contemplating this unconsciously, because more began to unfold.

What I first heard inwardly was the reminder that self-care and healthy boundaries are important. We have the right to care for ourselves and our well-being. We need joy within our lives.

Yet when it comes to family and close relationships, this line can become difficult.

Sometimes we move from compassion into enabling. At other times, those around us may unknowingly enable us to continue patterns we ourselves know we wish to release, but struggle to let go of because they are familiar.

I was reminded of the “Border Bullies” from the book The Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson. In the book, these are often family members or friends who discourage us from pursuing our dreams by telling us it is too difficult, unrealistic, or unsafe. Frequently this comes not from cruelty, but from fear.

Fear of how our changes might affect them.
Fear of what might happen if we fail.
Fear of leaving the comfort of what is known.

As I reflected further, I heard to look honestly at any patterns or interactions within our relationships that may allow us to continue clinging to beliefs, behaviors, or limitations we already know no longer serve us.

Perhaps at times we compassionately enable another because we recognize a similar pattern within ourselves — one we are also hesitant to release.

It is often easier to remain within what is familiar, even when it has become limiting.

So perhaps we might ask ourselves:

  • What in my own life do I continue holding onto simply because it is familiar?
  • What changes might alter my relationships or sense of security?
  • Am I remaining in a situation because it truly brings me peace and fulfillment, or because change feels uncertain?
  • Is the comfort of maintaining the familiar outweighing the potential expansion that change might bring?

And yet, not being ready for change is not wrong.

That is important to remember.

Our lives are not meant to be measured solely by the expectations of others, nor even by dreams we once believed we “must” accomplish before time runs out.

Creation is also about experiencing, learning, exploring, expanding, and enjoying life itself.

Yes, perhaps we entered life with intentions — lessons we hoped to learn, patterns we wished to transform, ways we desired to serve. But that does not mean that if our path changes direction we have somehow failed.

Sometimes life itself becomes the experience.

Sometimes peace, love, joy, presence, or simple human connection become the deeper service.

Being is the place from which doing should arise.

As we continue along the path of remembering, we learn that compassion and service can sometimes unintentionally enable others to remain within old patterns — just as others may enable us.

Is this right or wrong?

That is something only the individual can determine within themselves.

When we honestly look at the bridge between our own inner changes and the dynamics of our relationships, we may begin to recognize where fear, familiarity, attachment, or comfort influence our choices.

So how do we know whether to continue helping or to step back?

Go within.

Sit in stillness and listen honestly to yourself.

Ask:

  • Is this affecting my mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual well-being?
  • Am I helping from love, or from fear, guilt, or obligation?
  • Is this relationship supporting growth, or sustaining stagnation?

If something is deeply draining or harmful, perhaps boundaries are needed.

If not, and you still feel called to help another even while they struggle with their patterns, that too is a personal choice. Sometimes simply holding a compassionate and stable presence may quietly help another begin their own process of transformation.

And on a personal level, if your life is peaceful, fulfilling, and joyful, and you choose not to pursue a certain dream or make a dramatic change others believe you “should” make — that is also your right.

The Higher Self, the Oneness of Creation, is not rooted in punishment or disappointment. It is rooted in exploration, experience, understanding, and expansion.

You are enough.

Plans change.

And in the greater unfolding of life, if there was something intended to be accomplished, Creation has an infinite ability to adjust and rebalance through countless souls and pathways.

That does not make you less valuable.
It does not make you less loved.
It simply becomes another expression of experience within the greater whole.

Perhaps at times you are even fulfilling something another chose not to complete.

We are here to learn, experience, create, and share life together in relationship with all living things upon the Earth.

And as long as we are honoring the rights of other life to exist, grow, and experience joy just as we honor our own, then perhaps the Oneness itself remains at peace.

I hope this reflection makes sense and perhaps offers value to someone.

I simply shared it as it came forth.

STEPPING UP

It is not easy to step out of our comfort zone, but change requires courage.

As you may have noticed I am not a psychic who predicts the future. I spent most of my life rarely sharing my gifts with others, because when I did ones would look at me strangely. My aunt once called me a strange child. My Grandparents and parents didn’t because the women in my family all had pyschic gifts, but they didn’t talk about them. My father was a Mason and his mother a gypsy, so it was in my blood as they say.

I knew there was a purpose, and yet I knew it wasn’t to be a pyschic predicting the future for others. So I shared when really guided by Spirit, and kept the rest to myself. I found this limited my growth, for our abilities grow as we share and use them. I guess if I had realized the purpose for which I was to use them, I would have greatly benefited earlier in life.

Over the years, I came to realize my gift was to heal people more emotionally and spiritually rather than on the physical level. I was to use it to help educate and encourage others to seek their own abilities and power within and to use the beauty of spirit to help transform the world around us.

It is our personal thoughts, beliefs, fears and doubts, desires and strong emotional intent which create the world around us. Two people may see the same event differently because they are looking at it from differing perspectives. This is due to the duality in the world. If we were living, and listening in grace from the heart, and we would percieve events with the innocent perception of spirit, in order to make choices and take action for the benefit of All.

My part is to share that which can help you to find personal clarity and empower you to make the highest possible choices. When we are in this state of listening and acting from a place of BEING and not DOING, we are in Grace. For by living from the heart and listening to our soul’s intuitive guidance, we are transformed by Divine Love and we see the world with eyes of love, mercy and divine compassion.

In many lifetimes which I can remember I have been either an oracle, shaman, or medicine healer. The true purpose of an Oracle is to be open to the information being shared from the Universal Mind of the Creator and those who serve the Divine Essence in order to share that which helps one to make a decision which is in alignment with you Authentic Truth and Higher Self.

My purpose is to being Divine Truth as purely as I can, which means I must continue my path of transformation diligently. Which I have always heard within my head, “Walk the walk, don’t just talk the talk.” Sometimes this held me back for I felt I was not pure enough to share with others. Intent is a key in this situation. If I am doing all that I can do to not taint the message or information with ego, that is what is asked at the moment. This doesn’t mean to be satisified and stop clearing my energies and growing spiritually, but to trust that as I do my best more help and information will come to be of service to others.

My purpose is to share what is most needed to move forward and to help others to correct and evaluate their inner and outer situations, thoughts, intent, desire and beliefs. We need to learn to wait upon the signs and prompting of spirit to act so that we are sure our personal ego/desire/wants and are not getting in the way of the highest possible outcome. This is called waiting upon the Divine.

First we listen in Grace and then we wait. This can be a catch 22 also. I found that sometimes we can be unsure of our connection to spirit and so we aren’t sure of what we are receiving is from our own thoughts/rational mind or from our higher guidance. Thus our rational mind kicks in to evaluate should I act or wait. This is a process of clearing our energies, asking for guidance or a sign and then waiting for a sign or an inner knowing.

On the other hand, don’t get impatient, fearful, or let personal ego choices get in the way and cause you to immaturally act or make rash choices. Ask your soul and Trust in Divine Timing. Divine Timing is not always the same as our personal timing, although they may work with us if the window allows. For instance, when I was working with another and we would travel to areas to clear and activate sites, I was still employed by a school district. Spirit would want something done in a certain time period, but if I was unable to take time off on the day suggested, they would most of the time work around my timing, unless exact days were needed.

I share a bit of my journey and purpose here with you because we all have aspects of our lives we need to adjust, clear, overcome and ask for help. To open to our gifts is a process. It begins with the heart chakra of Love so that we can receive and give Divine Love. This changes everything. Love is not something you have to search for outside of yourself, or adjust youself to be acceptable and loved by another. Love is the Essence of the Creator, and the Essence of your Being. Light is the shining forth of Love into the World. Let there be Light. As our heart chakra opens and we clear and activate our chakra system we connect to our Soul guidance. As we align to our Soul and expand our Heart and Love into the world, our higher heart will open and this is were we can meet our I Am Presence. Our I Am Presence is the piece of God that we are, which has never left the Divine Frequency.

Focus within and say: I AM LOVE Love is my Truth, my inheritance and my experience in life.

I am still in my process. Which is why there are breaks in my sharing. I have a muggle job and home, which I am learning to balance with my Spiritual growth and Service to others. I am writing a book on Ascension, which I have to make time to work upon, and to get into the space where the ego mind is not influencing what is written. Just like everyone else, I take it one moment at a time. I have learned not to beat myself up if I don’t live up to my expectations of what I believe I should have done. I clear the limits I place on myself, and focus upon Being, so that the Doing is pure. I look at how far I have come, and not feel bad about how far I have to go. I don’t compare myself to others or them to me. We are all unique. That is why the Creator sent for a soul, which is us, in order to experience the unique insights and expressions of creation which we are,we experience and create.

So, I will share the insights shared with me as purely as I can at the time. Remember, Truth is either relative or Divine. Divine Truth never changes, it is the Essence and Laws of Creation. All other truth which we hear and believe, until we are Ascended, is relative to our purity.

Even those who channel, can only bring through the messags as purely as they are able to step aside their ego. You may have noticed that I rarely channel other beings at this time. I am to focus upon my connection with my I AM Presence. My I AM name is Moriah Elohim. For you see at the I AM level of our growth, we are touching into the same knowledge as the Angels and Light Beings. This is where we return to the banquet of Oneness and Infinite Wisdom, Light and Love as Co Creators.

I will at times bring forth messages from another as they ask me to channel for them or with them in Oneness from my I AM. However, the connection to my I Am is what I need to strengthen and clarify on my path at this time. To be able to always be in listening Grace and sharing the wisdom it brings is my goal and purpose.

I felt this needed to be shared to help others and to clarify if you have had questions about the source of the messages I share.
