Beauty with a Purpose

I was watching several butterflies today and suddenly, I thought, “What is the purpose of a butterfly?” Do you know? I didn’t, so I did a little research.

Besides being beautiful, a butterfly has an important part to play in the ecology of many life systems. Butterflies pollinate plants, which help fruits, vegetables and flowers to produce new seeds. This is a similar action that bees carry out. Butterflies are also food for birds, mammals and other insects.

Did you know that no two butterflies are exactly the same? Also, butterflies display every color of the rainbow! Here is one more bit of fact for you, butterflies have lived on earth for at least 150 million years and are found everywhere but Antarctica. Not only are they beautiful insects…..they also have an important part in balancing nature.

Everything that the Divine created has a purpose. Four-legged animals, insects, birds, fish and even the trees and vegetation live by instinct or cellular/chemical direction.

Humans are provided instinct and cellular/chemical direction to guide their lives. However, they are also given a complex and powerful tool called a brain. Our brain is the mechanism for our development and growth. This IS the instrument of our co-creation with God.

Through the balancing of our mental (chemical), emotional (instinctual), physical and spiritual aspects, we can possess the Light of God and co-create beautiful things around us. This is the purpose of your life.

So, on that note the quote of the day is:

“Live out your purpose by spreading the Loving Light of God.” tc

Path of the Sun

The Ancient Egyptians believed that the Milky Way was the River of Life. The Milky Way, from the perspective of Earth, is the path of the sun’s motion on the celestial sphere, as we rotate on our axis. This pathway is called the ecliptic. The constellations along the ecliptic, encompass our known 12, plus 2 additional ones. They are: Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Pisces, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Taurus and Virgo. The other two constellations along the ecliptic are Orion (the Hunter) and Ophiuchus (the Serpent Handler/Healer).

The Milky Way or River of Life is believed to be the path that the soul/spirit travels as it makes its way through the underworld and into Immortal Life. This powerful river creates many transformations for the spirit along the way. The constellations are mythological stories by many ancient civilizations that, I believe, were created to document the perils and celebrations of the Spirit from darkness into Light!

The Nile River in Egypt and the ancient pyramidal structures alongside it were created to document the celestial heavens above…..So below, on Earth.

The next time you see a beautiful, flowing river, don’t forget to think of the river above your head. Because everything on earth is a microcosm of the heavens above, try to observe your life as a mirror of the grand design above you.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“See your life as a river, ever flowing, ever creating and forever one with the All.” tc
