Spring into Enlightenment

By William Peña & Marilu Wilson Peña

 

It’s April. Spring is upon us!  Nature is flourishing after its hibernation, its natural cycle of going within to rejuvenate and bring forth its beauty for the year.  As we write, we look outside the window of our office and see the wild flowers growing in our neighbor’s yard.  We see the Oak bloom.  We see the Orange blossom and smell its wonderful fragrance.  There is always such a high energy of creation, exuberant expectation, as Mother Nature brings forth her new born creations in so many ways.   We feel it well up within us and we are so inspired!  Thanks Gaia!

 

This time of year is also a celebration of the Ascension energies.  Rising above our perceived limitations, we ascend to higher planes, greater views and perspectives. It is the energy of Ascension that celebrates we are more than this body, this mind.  We are infinite beings who create beauty, along with Mother Nature in the playground we call Earth, growing new creations as the expression of Source. We celebrate this time with you!

 

As we sit in the energy of growth, it comes to us that Ascension is a by product of growth.   Ascension is when we move from one level to another, whether it is in our perspectives, our energetic vibration, and/or our knowledge.  We ascend to the mountain top and claim a new view.  In order to do this we must grow.  We must expand and live the new perspectives, wisdom, expressing new action without the benefit of prior experience.  That is true growth.  It is claiming a new reality for our selves. It is not just the accumulation of some facts, words or reading of someone’s actions.  It is only when we make a shift in our choices and create a resulting change in some level of our being that we are truly growing.  Often the energy of growth, asks us to move beyond our comfort zone. We are like the beautiful flower that pushes up from the warmth and safety of the soil, inspired by the light. It moves from the safety of the Earth to express its beauty for all to see and enjoy. Springing into action, ascending to higher and higher levels, we are.

 

Moving beyond the limitations and growing with each step, we release old patterns and ways of ‘puzzle solving.’  Do you solve puzzles the same way you did 10 years ago?  Do you even know how you solve your puzzles?  (Notice we did not use the word “problem?”)

 

Do you think about your values, your energy, your perceptions of life and what it means?  What is your comfort zone? What does it look like?  Does it serve your Soul’s desires?  When was the last time you learned something new, did something that made you feel uncomfortable, or created something from the depths of your being?  When was the last time you got out of your ‘comfort zone’ and ascended to a new ‘mountain top’ and discovered you were more than you thought?

 

What holds you back? What perceived limitations do you wish to grow past and ascend to create a new reality?  Do you fear rejection, failure, success?  Do you fear others will judge you because they don’t understand?  Do you fear you won’t have the energy to continue and complete the project?  Do you fear it will change you and, therefore, your relationship with others will change?  Do you fear you won’t change?

 

One definition of the word “grow” states: “to spring up and develop to maturity.”  Another definition is: “to develop from a parent source.”  We liked merging these two definitions together.  Grow:  To spring up and mature as the parent source.  But what/who is the parent source? Who are we growing up to be?  What are we growing up to be?  What are we maturing into ~ an elderly person, a statesman, a mother, a father?  Mature into what?  How about maturing into your true essence of infinity?  How about maturing into the Creator that you are?

 

Enlightenment

 

At the point of enlightenment, you understand that you are Creator as you are one with Source. Through the free will / free choice you set yourself free from limitations, growing in infinite ways, and creating your Soul’s desires.  The fear of change is gone for now you have grown to understand that at this level you do not change.  That’s right; the infinite Essence of you never changes!  The ever present Creator / Objective Observer / Witness / I AM stays the same.  The One that does the creating is always the same.  It is the Infinite YOU.  It is only the creation of the Creator that changes. Yet, in that creation, the Creator knows a new aspect of itself and, therefore, grows in understanding the depths of its infinite self.  Ah, truth in the paradox!

 

So, as we liberate ourselves, ascending from the perceived limitations of our mind, our body, our physical plane, we become enlightened as to the truth of who we are ~ infinite beings creating a reality from infinite possibilities.  Our levels of growth are stepping stones along the pathway as expressions of our ultimate reality, our ultimate truth of our Infinite Essence. 

 

We grow and create to know more about ourselves as the Creator of who we are.  Look around you?  Do you like the garden that you have created?  Do you wish to till the soil and sow some new seeds?  Remember that you have nothing to fear and only more of you to celebrate!  You are Source and Source is YOU! 

 

In Oneness, we are,
