Channeling the Phoenix

“channeling the Phoenix”

The fire of creation, fueling life and consuming it at the same time.
And God! I burned and burned until there was nothing left to fuel my fire.
Only there, from my pile of ashes, did I surrender to the wind and did I start dancing, freed from attachment and other earthly desires.
And I danced to its whim and will, following without efforts nor resistance the directions it was giving me.
I was moving without moving, and in the midst of my twirls and swirls, speckles of dust joined the jiggle.
Then the water, unturmoiled, felt safe to bring the flow of life back into this fully broken but now yet ever unbreakable body made of space only; holding this withholding and newly found unattached form.
Only there, within the constantly unforming membrane surrounding my emptiness, the spirit of an unburning fire resurrected, warningly and lovingly.
Once again, I felt at one with the elements, in the here and now, present and absent at the same time
And so rose I back, without form nor shape, trans-illuminated, light as light, unaffected by gravity.
…
The sun shot its rays of brilliance through my new prismatic and crystalline anatomy. Gleaming arrows transpierced, settled in and soon became rainbows.
I was now a trail of forever shimmering colours, reflecting in innumerable hues any particle of light that was cast on that which I became.
Immovable. And yet it seemed beaming wings of fire transported me.
But in reality, I am just a mirage carved by the light bouncing off the mirror I became.
The closer you get to me, the more you realize your aspirations create the aurora borealis you perceive while starring at me.
Call me the Simurgh, the mirror image in which you want to reflect yourself; I’ll be as bright as you want to be.
The more you try to reach me, the more shades I’ll show you, just so one day you can reach the fullness of yourself and inspire the rest of the world with the thousands colours your found on your journey.
Then only can I die again and be born back into flesh, where I’ll look at you from the ground up to the sky where shining as a sun you’ll be showing me the path back to where we came from.
…
So be on your own way now, follow my lead which is yours too.
Seek to ever better yourself and trust you’ll find more love, light and happiness within yourself than you can ever imagine.
Have faith and follow your heart, for it beats animated by the same force that moves the planets and gives rhythm to the whole creation within the illusion of moving time.
You are it, and yet not yet, blessed and powerful beyond measure, on a journey to become whatever you choose to envision, should you wish to.
Just remember that pain, anger, fear and attachment will be holding you.
They will come to pass just as everything does.
There is gratefulness to be found in each moment for this experience of life is truly a gift and you will be proud for each challenge you get to overcome.
And there also will you find the courage to reflect and share all of the wisdom you find on your path just so we can continue to inspire each others beyond the eternal cycle of life and death.
With all my love, I’ll be wishing you now to burn from your brightest fire and become so consumed by the flames of your passions that you rise again lighter than light, supported by the love you ignited around you.
Go now, the whole universe is waiting for you to take your place as a star within the firmament.
