There are many things that people are paid to do for you. And you are paid to do things for others. This is how we live in a dualistic role society. This also goes for male and female roles. It used to be that women did not work outside the home and men did not cook for their family. There were very distinct roles for man and woman and there were very distinct roles for royalty and their slaves.
The reason this came to mind today is, I recently found out that I may qualify for student loan forgiveness through the Obama relief act for student loans. There was an advertisement on Facebook by a law firm in Florida who, upon hiring them, would gather all the correct paperwork, fill it out for me, get the agreement set up and basically do all the dirty work... even though they specifically mention in fine print that you can, in fact, do all of this yourself. But for a nominal fee of $500 dollars they will do it all for you.
Great! But why would I pay them $500 dollars to do something I can do myself? No way! I'll do the hard work finding out who my lenders and loan servicers are and what paperwork I need to apply for loan forgiveness. It honestly felt empowering to realize that I was actually taking the power in to my own hands.
I feel like too often we pass off opportunities to take personal responsibility for our lives and our selves. We pay someone else to do our dirty work, much like kings and queens. Yet we still work a 9-5 job, doing the dirty work for another person.
There's really nothing wrong with this, but it's interesting to think about. So if you are interested in finding out how to apply for student loan forgiveness, I will share the steps to do so when I get it all figured out. Just in case you want to take the power in to your hands as well! And do this while you can, these programs may not last much longer since Obama's last year is upon us!
I also want to share with you the inspirational quote from my journal today. "I dream of things that never were and say, 'why not?'" by Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy. What is your favorite dream?
There's a vision I get, like a day dream, but it feels more real. Its as if I'm traveling in time for a split second to experience this and I'm sprung right back to current time with a feeling of warmth and wonder. Its just a flash, but in this instant of vacation from current reality, I receive a lot of information: I'm in a market place with live music, it feels like India in mid to late afternoon; the sun is beginning to set. This is the best time to visit the market place since the heat of broad day can be crippling. I am exploring the vendors when I come across an intricately woven tapestry of red and gold natural fibers. Families are walking together, enjoying the comfortable atmosphere. There's a very clear energy here, pure even. This is why I also feel the setting is in India or Iraq, maybe even Egypt or Jerusalem. Those parts of the world are told to be where our race of homo-sapiens were born. It is very grounding and exciting to feel the movement of life, the rhythm of life.
I feel this in my heart, perhaps it is a memory. If so, it is a very treasured memory. This is a perfect time to discuss memory. My whole life I've thought and have been told that all memory is stored in the brain. Science has proven that this is not correct. For instance, if you get a liver transplant, you may end up with memories that do not belong to you! Each and every cell of our body holds memory, and those cells make up tissues and those tissues make up organs and groups of organs make up systems in the body such the respiratory system or cardiovascular system and the digestive system. I said that I feel the memory of the middle eastern market place in my heart and on an energetic level, the heart is characterized by warmth, the colors pink, red, green and gold, love, and the heart is where grief is held. So when you hear someone say they have a broken heart, it is a very good expression of what that person is experiencing on an energetic level.
Memory is held in all parts of the body, this is why soul memory discovery can be so incredibly healing and therapeutic. When you feel a pain in your body, ask it, as if you were asking a person in pain, "what is wrong, how can I help, how can I relieve your pain?", and see what happens for you. If you are open to hearing what your body may tell you, then you will get a message in the form of a vision, emotion, thought or another sensation that may help indicate what the pain needs to tell you. Well that's all for tonight. Bless you, and good night.
