eagle2phoenix-healthyself

Why eagle2phoenix? In my meditation many years ago, I saw myself as an eagle, a proud bird of prey, flying high in the sky. The eagle is the king of of the sky. I was a proud eagle, full of pride and ego, who got hurt, fell to the ground and died. But in death, I arose as the flaming bird of life, the mythical Phoenix, which will never die. The Phoenix can burn itself out but it can heal its self and come back again and again.

I was an eagle turned into a phoenix. My soul lives on forever. My soul, my light, my god, my being. I came from the Supreme Being, and I return to the Supreme Being. My life on earth is just a journey to work on who I really am. Caroline is just a name given to me by my earthly parents, whom I love and are grateful toward. I have to work out my life this lifetime so that I can become a more complete Being, having been fallen. I am here to learn and remember who I am so that when I return home, I am the bright light born pure.

So are everyone on this planet.

Start of a new self

Today I decided to start a new blog heal.thy.self which actually derived from Healthy Self. I was toying with the words and saw that the words can mean several things - healthy self or heal thy self. What is the self? It is the trinity BODY-MIND-SOUL (SPIRIT) which makes up a BEING. For a healthy self, we need a healthy body, a healthy mind and a healthy soul.

How do we become a total BEING? We have to be positive and creative in thoughts, words and action. We have to accept what is and stay present in the now. We have to be balanced in our views, like the TAO - yin and yang existing in harmony.

I have read so many self help books. I have journeyed through almost all the religions of our world. I have had many spiritual experiences. I have endured almost losing my mind in depression. Ultimately, everything boils down to the same thing. It starts with me, my self, my own true self - how I treat myself, my body, my mind and my soul. It is about letting go of my ego which plays with my mind.

A new self, much like Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth, a new beginning.
