Passion
My Beloved Sisters and Brothers; recently I have had a couple of my sisters voice some concern about my scripted words. They were concerned whether I was going through something because of what they said they were feeling in my writings. What I shared entitled The Simple Life happens to be one of such that aroused a few concerns and responses here lately. I want you all to know this, and I am sure many of you already know this. I am very passionate about everything that I do. Because of my inner passion, I truly feel and experience to some degree everything I share with you, as well as everything that I think, say, and do. You should know this about me. Some of what I share with you here on Essence Blogesphere is what I wrote a number of years ago when I was sending out daily inspirational e-mails. When I feel the urge to share something I wrote in the past, I do so. Sometimes I even revise the older scripted words that I share with you, and the energy you feel is my passion from the past when I originally wrote it, and/or my passion from the present revision. However, whatever energy you feel it is a good thing, because opening up and releasing through different forms of communication is a good thing.
Many times people tend to feel that the sharing of something that is less then positive, such as sharing your anger or something that you dislike that has been done to another or ones-self is not befitting of someone who is supposed to be on the Spiritual Path. However, that could not be further from what we should do. Our emotions are natural occurrences, and we should express them in ways that do not hurt others. However, if we suppress our less then pleasant emotions and hold them in, we will surely harm ourselves in some way because it will cause stress within our Spirit. Our emotions are signals that we must acknowledge and deal with, and avoiding to speak them and address them is not the proper way to acknowledge them. We must remember this; it takes a perfect balance between the positive and the negative for things to flow smoothly as they are designed to do. There is a proper way to express everything that is a part of this experience called life. Our individual duty is to find the proper way to do such, a way that will honor SPIRIT, those who are a part of our lives, the Whole of Creation, and us. Avoiding an emotion because of what people may think or say is definitely not the way to go.
One of the major problems humanity has developed is becoming emotionally disconnected from life, when a person disconnects emotionally, that person looses his or her passion for Love and life. The saddest thing about that is, true passion is the Sacred Energy that fuel our Spirit. Passion is the Sacred Energy that makes our dreams come true, it is also the Sacred Energy that provides us with the needed atmosphere for the miraculous to happen. Can you imagine being in Love and not being passionate about that Love? There is no Love without passion. The lost of passion is one major reason why many Love relationships eventually reach the end of their road. We should, no, we must always be passionate about everything that we do, if there is no passion in what we are doing, we should not be doing that which we are doing. This experience called life is all about passion; a passion for life is a necessity.
Therefore, I will always be passionate about my life and everything that is a part of my life. However, within your passion for a true and honest relationship with me, please do not hesitate to say something to me when you feel that my passion needs tweaking. I will always be passionate about that which I do; however, I cannot say that I will always be correct in everything that I do. Yes, we must be passionate about what we do. However, we must do that which is proper. Again, it is proper to express in a passionate way that I dislike something. However, my passion must not be malicious.
