Musings. Hidden in plain sight

 Dearest Reader,

I do not know how to start this, so I will just start.
               
I’ve known that I am meant to write since I began to articulate my thoughts. But this particular set of writings has come to me in the past few years as fragments and feelings more than a solid idea.
                The knowledge and urgency to write it has become stronger in recent months, though I know not what to write.
               
So here goes,

                An intelligence, which has experienced many cycles and viewed others cycles, now finds its self confident that it can accomplish the first cycle of flesh. Each cycle is unique in its own way, but this one has many challenges, and the intelligence has seen many buckle in this cycle.
                The first flesh cycle is unique because it causes a separation from the spiritual plane, which necessitates a veil of forgetfulness in order to allow each intelligences full immersion.
This cycle of flesh opens the intelligence to new sensations of the flesh previously felt and understood only in spirit and mind, which is newly comprehended with great yearnings felt in the flesh.
                There are myriad of obstacles individual to each intelligence as they enter the first flesh cycle.
While yet spirits they have reached a level of wisdom and experience allowing them the confidence to face this cycle. As they enter here, they are babes, vulnerable and helpless. Necessitating another’s growth in the flesh cycle, the spiritual and physical growth/unity of those who care and assist the baby. The baby grows and learns, and all who have raised children know, the baby is protected by unseen forces as well as those that they are here entrusted to.
                Each individuals customized journey on this earth (this first flesh cycle) is of great import to their previous cycles, and will impact their coming ones.

                Understanding that the heavens we long for are in the hand of the intelligence at every moment can help give power back to those who feel that perhaps the next cycle will be better… or the one after that. Indeed, each chapter of this life is a cycle of the whole of it, and this life is a cycle of our eternity. We may choose to find our heaven whenever we choose, whatever our circumstances.
                The world would like to focus on viruses, social tensions, wars, appearance, education and myriad of concerns.
 Here is truth,
When pure knowledge and understanding is a goal, in humility and sincerity, this brings intelligence in line with the memory of who they have been for many cycles, and also a kinship is reignited with the spiritual plane. God, Father and Mother, become mentors. All the squabbles, while sorrowful, are given perspective. Understanding and knowledge overcome the rudimentary inclinations of the flesh cycle, which are inclined to debase who we truly are. Disciplining this inclination and learning to hear the other side of ourselves elevates us to a higher cycle, allowing us a greater inheritance of light.

                The flesh inclines toward the fetal state in an effort to avoid pain and discomfort (meaning that we avoid progression for fear of change because of the comfort of what is known), yet in doing so only temporarily finds blind relief and then the pain and discomfort is not only drawn out but also increased tenfold. If the flesh and spirit, as one, leans into the discomfort that growth and progression bring not only is the pain less torturous, but it becomes almost sweetened by the journey and its outcome.
