A little light on Ascension
and why the title of this book caught me
Last week I posted something on Instagram and LinkedIn. Two different stories about how my life has changed in the last months. About the truer version of myself I had become. I always know when to post something. It is my inner guidance bringing me there. But with these posts it felt more vulnerable than before.
So in the hours afterwards it took a lot of strength not to take the posts offline. I was struggling with the ideas that I had shared. Was it my ego that wanted to show the great version of me I had become, or was it this true version of myself that genuinely wanted to share what I had created for myself inspiring others to do the same?
Instead I started reading a book that had been with me on my sailing journey for the last weeks. It was the only book I hadn't opened yet. Which was a bit strange because the title really inspired me. I was curious, but I probably knew that I would open it when the time was right.
When I opened the book and started reading, I couldn't stop. A little light on ascension, by Diana Cooper seems to be describing what I have been through in the last months.
And then again, I start to doubt myself again. Me? Ascending to the 5th dimension? I am always belittling my connection to a higher source, I don’t see myself as a person who is very spiritual, but the truth probably is, I am… Otherwise I wouldn’t feel at home with a book like this. And as I stated in one of my posts, no more masks. Only the real me and my truth. The book I am reading I could not have written myself, but… Everything that is written that is part of my life since a couple of years.
The journey has been a long one, from realising I am a highly sensitive person, to channeling messages to inspire myself and others to change their lives. The books I am writing now are different from the books I wrote in the past. They come from a source within or around me (not sure about how that works yet ;-) and they just need to be written.
But back to the book I am reading. A little light on Ascension gives some really interesting views on life. One of them is about simplicity. Which actually always has been a big part of my life. Since I had to get rid of almost all my stuff several times in my life, I know simplicity is the gateway to a more conscious life. Without stuff there are less worries, there is less need to earn a lot of money to keep buying or maintaining stuff and things can’t break down. But the same works for food and other things.
Diana Cooper states ‘Lots of people make an enormous living out of wonderfully complicated ways of doing things. It is not necessary. Human intelligence takes the simple and makes it complicated. … If it it is complicated, it’s from ego. Spirit is simple.’
This is so true… Every time I start to think from my ego, things become unnecessary complicated, but when I listen to my inner voice, I am free, joyful and loving.
So today’s question for all of you is, how do you make sure your life stays simple and what could you change to create more simplicity in your life.
To give you some examples, this list comes from ‘A little light on Ascension’:
eat simply
live simply
bless your food
enjoy everything you do
be innocent (be in your essence, just be yourself)
act from love (and feel this with others too)
be still
I wish you a blessed and happy day, with love, Irene
