On this Palm Sunday I choose to use this metaphor in several ways. I can’t resist, however, saying that in California we would be better off turning wine into water these days! It is all about perspective and need.
We are Alchemists…each and every one of us, and we have been turning things into other things all of our lives. We have been turning disappointment into understanding…chaos into wisdom…hatred and anger into love…resistance into acceptance…betrayal into support…lack into abundance. We can also say that we have done this alchemist thing in reverse by turning love into hate, success into failure, peace into anger, understanding into chaos etc.
What kind of alchemist are you? It might be a difficult perspective to take but it is highly important for each one of us to understand who we are and how we create and that nothing is stationary unless we choose it to be so. Today we allow the awareness to watch and listen to ourselves and how we work our personal alchemy. How do we turn the bad into good, the sad into happy, the unfathomable into grace? How do we respond when news is difficult for us about a condition or a situation? How do we work the response within ourselves making the choices that so often seem impossible to implement?
We speak to the power of positive change…the perspective of choice and the understanding that as we think we create, as we believe so we manifest. We do not choose to be in denial. Rather we choose to go within, quiet the fears and center in the Divine. We choose the Alchemist within us to help us direct our personal responses and ideas. We choose to be self-directed in our awareness of positive flow and spiritual support. We have the power within to choose our conditions and thoughts. We have the alchemist within to help us gather the negative energies and throw them into the wind, allowing ourselves the freedom to be different, to be whole, confident, and supported.
Whether we realize it or not we are constantly turning water into wine…or wine into water. It is about perspective and the knowledge that we are the Alchemist, connected to the Divine, working our way into the Sacred I AM Place of Creation.
I love you…Please forgive me…I am sorry…Thank you!
