It's a favourite, though not convinced he was the first!<br /><br />Mercy have mercy on yourself. How many of us had no mercy given, when so so needed? The big religions in general don't teach that, above all not, for it gives back Power to the person herself..<br /><br />Facing a particularly gruesome personal herstory, two surprises came with each work session. One was the finding in each chapter the courage, or compassion I had getting through it and STILL deciding to love, or in some detail of the memory where I could squeeze myself in between just getting through the rest.<br />The other surprise was, each time I would leave the work place where I had faced off another excruciating something or other, ALWAYS, and this without exception, someone, in that busy rushing city, would stop and say something along the lines of: I don't know you, but you look SO beautiful, or Miss, I just had to tell you there is a light coming off of you..usually when I was feeling about as far from any such thing as you could possibly imagine..Worth remembering, anytime you do some deep healing, what you're discussing here..<br />So I thought that, well, it's moving up and out, why I'm feeling gulp-uck! and why it seems to be showing as radiant..<br />A thought.<br />Lovely blog.

When I opened you...You make me cry way too much ;)<br /><br />When I opened your page up this morning, I literally choked on my tears. Somehow, you always have what I need to hear. Even though I call on both Green Tara and Sekhmet, I often forget to use compassion on myself. The voice in my head says I'm a sissy, looking for excuses to get out of what I have to do. Is it any surprise that today I cannot capitalise "I"? I've had to go back over everything I've written and correct.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your work. You are helping in ways you'll never know.Poppy Fieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035066423976631795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5224471383814317075.post-34007403058357540372009-06-02T21:00:54.350-04:002009-06-02T21:00:54.350-04:00Beweaver, it surprised me.

But She is right--there is kindness in that story.<br /><br />Hyper faerie, yes, exactly. I think a lot of the damage we do ourselves is in judging ourselves too harshly. At least that is what I am finding out. Sometimes it's more about forgiving ourselves (or rather, realizing that we did not deserve blame in the first place) more than it is about forgiving others.<br /><br />And you've got me thinking about the heroines who journey to the Underworld. The theme is a little different. I'm thinking specifically Psykhe here, who journeyed to Queen Persephone at the request of Aphrodite (all women, look at that!) to prove her love for Eros. The soul's journey for love.

So I think that this week's message is incredibly apt and very, very astute.<br /><br />I keep thinking about all the epics where the heroes have to go through some kind of Hell or Underworld as part of their testing, usually to face their pasts, but the important thing is to not play in the dark for too long...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
