"If it is only a dream, why is pain so real?" "A dream head struck against a dream wall causes dream pain. A dreamer is not cognizant of the hallucinatory fabric of a dream until he awakens. Similarly, man does not understand the delusory nature of the cosmic dream of creation until he awakens in God." Paramahansa Yogananda

Nurturing

Today is Mother's Day and we celebrate the mothers. Like
many others out there, my mother has passed on and I never
became a mother. My mother and I had a difficult relationship.
Much of what mother has come to mean for me is the re-mothering
I have done with myself and learning to jump into the arms of
the Divine Mother. Today as an act of honoring mothering I
also honor the act of self-nurturing. How do I treat myself?
With love or judgment? Compassion or criticism? Harmony or fear?

Each one of us individually are here as a wondrous manifestation
of the Divine, experiencing completely diverse experiences that
can only happen through each one of us as individual, unique
special beings. Love yourself, love God. It is quite simple. How
we respond to ourselves affects all for we are all connected and
how we feel affects the entire field.

Today, as with everyday, I will open myself to the Love of the
Divine Mother, knowing that this expression of Love is all
pervasive, all knowing, all powerful and completely unconditional.
I am absolutely safe, nurtured, and provided for as I lay cradled
in the arms of the Divine Mother.
