God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him. I wasn't all that great at practicing this lesson today. I'm not sure why. I woke up feeling refreshed. I enjoyed a leisurely morning of reading and studying. It was blissfully quiet. As I was studying last night, the wind hammered the siding like thunderclaps and I prayed I would sleep. And I did. I did a lot of thinking today, a lot of reflecting. Though I felt distracted. I've had difficulty concentrating today.
Deepak Chopra recommends finding your goddess / god archetype. I did that today. I found this quiz designed by someone with a PhD in all things ancient - maybe not all things, but those things that pertain to gods and goddesses. I was skeptical of the whole thing. I figured it would be broad enough that it could 'be me' or just about anyone given the right circumstances. Well, so, my goddess archetype is Isis. As I read the profile, I chuckled several times because it does fit me - rather perfectly. While much of it is complimentary, the quirky, messed up, weak parts of me are patterns that have existed in my life for eternity. And, yes, of course, when I recognize them, when I see they are at play, I have every opportunity to turn those weaknesses into strengths - or at least minimize their negative impact in my life. This was a fun exercise and caused me to appreciate myself in a way I have been ignoring.
What does this have to do with the lesson? Everything. Pure potential was assisting me in seeing my archetype and thereby looking at myself with the eyes and heart of love.
