Rumi’s Reflections: Alison Wem’s Journal – Day 7

My soul is from elsewhere, I’m sure of that,

and I intend to end up there.

Jalal al-Din Rumi

I talked with my soul for many years before I realised who it was.

Throughout a life threatening childhood illness, he was always there comforting and encouraging me. He held my hand through the dark of the night when I was in pain.

In adulthood I was grateful to realise who he is, my best friend and my soul. He is the spark of divinity within me and brings me calmness, harmony and wisdom. We will always be together and I will go wherever he does. White Cloud, my light in the darkness shinning the way. read more

Spiritual development: Dark Night of the Soul

Spiritual development is often a solitary journey. As a psychic medium, I just followed my intuition and let it guide me where I needed to go. However I didn’t always understand what was happening to me.

The Dark Night of the Soul can be particularly dramatic and it can help to understand what is happening to you. I cross referenced literature to try and gain an understanding including;

  • the teachings of the Tibetan channelled by Alice Bailey
  • William Meader’s Shine Forth plus his video lectures giving a simplified version of the Alice Bailey teachings,
  • Michael Newton’s Destiny of Souls
  • Various texts about Kundalini.

People seldom talk about their spiritual development. It is a personal journey with your soul and Spirit. I did wonder what other people were experiencing. I found a lovely writer Patricia Williams who speaks of her experiences and gives words of wisdom on managing your own Dark Night of the Soul. read more

Who am I?: can I influence the world I live in which is so full of fear

Am I just flesh and bones?

Do you feel there is more to you than flesh and bones?

Well yes actually. I am more than my body. I have thoughts, feelings and dreams. I love my parents, my partner and my children even though they annoy me sometimes. Surely all of this is part of me as well as my body.

Your thoughts, feelings and dreams are all energy as much as your body. Have you ever felt your mother’s disapproval without her even speaking a word?

Well of course I have, especially when I was growing up. read more

Do you choose to live a life or a living?

Life is full of choices. You are given the free will to make your own choices. Your choices affect how your life unfolds.

Of course for our own well-being, we all need a safe and comfortable place to live, food on the table and clothes to wear. Once you have those, what choices do you make on where to spend your time and energy?

Do you choose the extra overtime for the cash? Or perhaps to do those evening emails to help you climb the corporate greasy pole?

Are you choosing to live a life or a living? read more
