I want to talk about the phoenix and how when we tap into the level of Mother Nature within us,
We will find our own inner phoenix and it will save us.
In fact,
We can go through,
Human beings can go through tremendous difficulties and emerge triumphant.
So I just want to talk about the phoenix.
It's a mythological bird that never dies and it's born from the ashes over and over again.
So,
Born from the ashes,
Emerges and returns to the ashes.
Now,
It's very much like the crucifixion,
You know,
Christ's crucifixion.
And my feeling is we all get crucified by life.
It's part of the setup here.
We're to learn and we're to learn that we're more than just human beings.
We're divine beings in human form.
And sometimes our human self has to get crucified by life before that we actually turn to the Creator with any strong intent at all.
And so over and over again,
There's stories of people who face difficulty and emerged triumphant with a greater sense of God.
But just talking about this phoenix,
You know,
Mother Nature's a phoenix.
You know,
Winter comes,
Everything looks dead and then spring arrives,
You know,
And bursts forward.
And any human being,
We go through,
You know,
These winters of our discontent and then we'll have a burgeoning spring and summer emotionally.
Especially,
You know,
I feel any woman,
Any woman,
If she taps into the Mother Nature within her,
Will find the phoenix.
But to find the phoenix,
We have to move out of being a victim and feeling sorry for ourselves or resenting people or resenting life.
It's like when we get really,
Really free of all that and just begin to,
You know,
Wake up that we are here for a bigger reason than we thought.
And,
You know,
We set off on our journey and sometimes,
You know,
Life will reduce us to ashes.
I mean,
It's happened to me countless times where my plans didn't work and I felt I was being crucified.
It's like I've just been trying to bring this love and bring this expanded knowledge to the world for like 40 years.
You know,
It's not been particularly easy.
But with every obstacle,
Something beyond me would bring me through it.
So,
I just really want to suggest to your minds the idea of the phoenix,
That you can overcome anything,
That the capabilities within a human being,
You know,
Something has kept us alive for thousands of years,
Something has kept us from dying out,
You know,
Despite all the obstacles.
North America,
We all come from the wagon train people,
You know,
Who came over without medical insurance,
Without money,
And they just cleared the land and started.
So,
We all have a phoenix within us.
So,
Just come back to yourself maybe and listen to your heart and find great resilience and strength inside you.
It's there.
It's there.
Even if you feel like you're weak,
Uh-uh,
It's not true.
Your ego is just fooling you,
I promise.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
