A Journey to Conscious Femininity

Leaving My Father's House

Laura Mei

The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body, and although we can repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated, our perceptions confused and our bodies tricked with medication. But someday the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth. 

Crones have passed over many crossroads. Crossing roads, bridges, borders are very important transitions in dreams. The dreamer is passing from the known to the unknown. The crossroads is the place where time and timeless meet. The ego tries to hold on to its selfish desires; Fate says no. The 𝘯𝘰 may be a huge 𝘺𝘦𝘴 to the buried parts of ourselves. The 𝘺𝘦𝘴 may be more terrifying than the 𝘯𝘰. To move with the moment, to surrender to the known is to flow with feminine consciousness.

Learn to be aware of the Self and not just your physical self housing your demanding little persona. The Self is never seen; it is a living presence that is felt in the body. The Self does not create from the limited personal point of view; rather the Self creates out of the substance that serves the whole of life.

Many people on the spiritual path believe that the physical body is less sacred than the spirit of the Self. Your body is crucial for your work on the planet. Honour her; treat her with the greatest respect and love. She is your responsibility.
