Camilla, you inspire us all to do the inner work that will make us the kind of people we were always intended to be. Thanks for being here and for shining a light on the value of "intention." Sending love, hugs and goodwill.
I especially liked this: "This is the kind of wisdom I want to hold close these days."
Good morning Stephanie, Thank you for your kind and generous words as always. And love, hugs, and goodwill are bouncing back to you through the ether. Thanks for being here♥️🙏🕊️
Your post reminded me of when I was in the school of Lightwork I attended in NYC. We use color light frequencies to consume and transform low frequency states and one is about Higher Will, abundance and good will. The issue of judgment comes with this. So while I was having a private session with an older female teacher who appeared perfect in every way, I asked how I could overcome judgment and be like her.
She laughed and said, 'We will never become completely free of the impulse to judge in this human manifestation. When I'm on the subway, I may look across and see the shoes the person across from me is wearing and my mind will instantly decide if I like them or not--I may judge them to be ugly. The only difference is not becoming identified with that judgment--I don't hold onto it and become attached to it."
Thank you for reminding me because I see how attached I am to my political judgments now. And that it isn't wrong of me to have a negative judgment about the ill will of what happened this week with Republicans disenfranchising women of their right to vote. But if I hold onto it and keep my mind on that I am identifying and attached. It sounds easier than it is to release this. Yes, it is the work.
Hi Shellie, Thanks for your thoughtful comment and YES to what your teacher said, especially this: "...The only difference is not becoming identified with that judgment--I don't hold onto it and become attached to it."
And this is not to take away from the necessity of political and social activism, especially during these times.
I guess I'm pointing towards the intention to be mindful that what we cultivate within our own heart, determines how we impact those with whom we connect. We want to raise the vibration, not lower it. And the more adversity we experience (especially with the orange one's insanity) the more opportunity we get to cultivate that observing awareness and not identify with our thoughts and judgements.
May humanity reach a tipping point in people practicing these beautiful spiritual principles♥️🙏🕊️
Hi Camilla, thank you for sharing the sameness of our differences — our journeys to awakening. Drawing connections with nature and indigenous wisdom. With love and laughter 🙏 🤣 🌱
I have, for almost as long as I can remember, been completely baffled by the idea of the self. I’ve read a bunch of philosophy about it. I’ve hard long deep convos with friends about it, I’ve meditated on it for hours — and, still, I have absolutely no idea what the fuck it really is hahaha.
But whatever it is, I know there is a part of myself that likes to wonder about it.
Yeah, all this stuff is ineffable in some sense. It’s all kind of just pointing towards ways of being and experiencing. This is where words are limited and the energy of experience is more valuable in some sense. I find just being in the presence of the more senior monks across the road here inspiring- just their energy alone has this kind of peaceful and calming effect on me. This energy ripples out from them. People just want to be around that energy. But I guess words can help me in keeping walking in the right direction 🥰♥️🙏🏼🕊
I totally understand. The energy of some people says more than words ever could. I feel the ocean offers a similar sort of ineffable yet soothing energy. :)

Shadow work, soul work, letting Her heal these lost parts of ourselves….. The journey is long and sometimes arduous, but so precious.
Good morning Martha, thanks for being here, and yes, it's the entire journey of the human experience we're having as spiritual beings🥰♥️🙏🕊️
p.s. I also like to remember it can embody a lot of FUNENJOY too🥰

A very interesting read Camilla :)

Yes, me too. All of nature, really😊
Yes, agreed—all of nature indeed! :)
