In the creation, there was only water. Then a golden serpent, shining, rose from the water and flew into the sky to form the galaxies splashing light, making the thunder shine across the heavens. It began to release joy and happiness, delighting in what was being created, and with the highest excitement it released the stars as the seed of Q’uqumatz, the Feathered Serpent. Its purpose was to release the seeds and form them into human beings.
As humanity, we were created with that same purpose to remind one another of what we are: the stars, the light, one part of the universe and of our Creator. When we are released into the womb of our mother, our father releases us into being, and in that act he becomes a representative of Q’uqumatz. We are here with a purpose.
Growing Into Forgetting
As our consciousness grows, we feel the call. We dream. We sense that we came here to do something on this earth. But as we grow, we become confused. Our parents begin to teach us how we must behave. We enter school, and they teach us how we must be in a certain way. Then come religion and society, with their pressure and their rush to do something, to become someone, to compete in a world that measures us against each other.
Under all this pressure and expectation, we lose ourselves. We try to become someone else, forgetting the whole purpose of what we came here to be. We begin to follow someone else’s dream building it every day, going to work, coming home, back and forth, growing tired, resenting the job, the coworkers, the boss. We forget what we truly came here to be.
When something stirs in us a wish to create, to do we hesitate. We ask what others would say. What if it goes wrong? What if people don’t like it? What if my family turns away? What will my friends think?
Reflect
What is in your heart? What excites you most not about doing, but about being? What does your heart want? It doesn’t matter what that is. There is a star in your heart. Let it shine, let it become like the sun, let it shine in its own color, no matter how it looks. Your color, your work, your excitement, your inspiration these will help awaken others to remember who they are. Let it be. If that makes you strange, wear it as a privilege. Do not hide yourself.
My teacher K.W. (Keith Wilson) says: “Follow your heart by following your highest excitement.” Do not feed the anger or frustration of those who want to mold you into their shape. You look diminished in that form. Follow your heart instead. If you worry about abundance, know this: by being yourself, you will find abundance of happiness, of food, of health, of support because you are no longer pretending. In this way, you will be loved for who you truly are, not for a self you performed.
Purpose
You are part of the creation. Let your purpose become material create, build, make it happen. Provide the opportunity for others to be inspired. All what you do can help and support the process of people, by being an example you help people to grow and become, because you being the hope and the inspiration for others.
You are being loved.
