This method of awareness in taking the eagles point of view to get perspective in your life, can be applied both on a personal scale as well as on a national or even international level... albeit the wider your inspection is, the higher your perspective needs to be in order to see the relevant information and understand messages from the Divine.
With that said, it is interesting to use my own current life situation as an example of how this method of introspection can be applied to your life.
I considered myself very lucky home owner over the last 10 years to live in an area that, most of the time, is fairly quiet and peaceful. Especially as a resident in an urban environment. We all know the levels of noise pollution that we have to cope with on a daily basis. So you can imagine my surprise recently as the empty plot next to my home got invaded by a team of builders!
At first light one morning the peaceful atmosphere of my neighborhood got interrupted with the awful noise of hammer against brick, as the old house next door, that could only be described as a dump, got deconstructed by a team of workers, brick by brick!
At this moment I was still blissfully unaware of what was about to unfold in my world but it was the first clue towards the message of today...
Before anything new can come into being... sometimes a deconstruction of the old and "out of use" might be in order, to make way for the construction of something new...
As the weeks went past and the noise levels increased, I became aware of my own inner process of dealing with issue of frustration. Feeling powerless around controlling the constant noise, and feeling annoyed because my peaceful world got invaded, I felt angry that there was no advance notice of the intended deconstruction of the dilapidated property next door. I felt frustrated and helpless to stop the progress that was made, especially when it dawned on me that this was merely the beginning of a whole process of development that I never thought would happen on this plot of land!
It was at the moment that the builders started to dig foundation holes that the truth of the situation fully realised for me... my peaceful life in my neighborhood is about to change forever. My view from my home is being altered permanently. The view from my garden and even the light in my home will be changed forever. A new block of flats is busy being constructed and will be a new landmark in my neighborhood.
To illustrate the power of this symbolic message I take you now to my salon where the owners of Salon Allure recently started with the renovation and redevelopment of phase 2 on the part of the property right next door to the salon! So, now there is construction at my work place, as well as at my home! The noise and sounds of drills, power tools, hammers, steel and concrete scraping is my new constant companion.
It is not until very recently that I realised the depth of the message of this deconstruction and construction that is currently evident in my life. I started to look at the symbolic nature of the message and started to look at both my inner life as well as my business, and it's in that moment that I was able to see the relevance of the message found in the mirror of my current life experience. My life is being deconstructed and something new is taking form out of the seemjng chaos. I just have to surrender to the process and allow... Something is clearly changing. Something is being deconstructed, broken down, and altered permanently. Something old is making way for something new...
So many of my life dreams and most of my current goals can be brought into the vision quest of what my life is showing me through this construction sites all around me.
My business as a hairstylist is busy evolving and changing. My life as an artist and art therapist is busy taking on a whole new dimension and the Spiritual aspects of my life as a teacher and facilitator is also going in a whole new direction. These are just the superficial themes I can count here... but time will tell about the true depth of transformation taking place right now!
If I take into account the fact that all the heavy planets out there is coming closer to the earth in 2018 than in the last 30 years, and most of them will have extended periods of being in retrograde this year, then no wonder most of us are experiencing massive changes and shifts in our lives, if not in one then maybe even in most of our personal lives!
Another interesting aspect of the big planets is that they all represent the big aspects of your life for example; money, career, relationships, family, dreams and major life goals... it is no wonder that big changes are happening all around us. Once every 30 years or so this event occurs with the big heavy planets. Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus... yes, big changes are unfolding for all of us.
So in using my observation of current deconstruction and construction in my life, I can't help but wonder what you are currently experiencing in your world. Where in your life is major tables being turned? Where does it feel for you like the card house is tumbling down? Where in your life does things feel stuck, or is it taking on a new direction, one that maybe you weren't expecting? Feeling surprised? Like something suddenly appeared out of your blind spot?
Do not feel alone, for this is a sure sign that the Divine is busy working as the Master Architect in your life. Life happens when you make other plans... and sometimes the only option you have is to surrender and to accept what is unfolding.
Rather than becoming complacent, become an active participant in this process unfolding in your life, because "control" is the biggest illusion of them all. "Relax nothing is in control" is my motto, and remember, what you resist will only persist! Like my beloved husband reminded me of in his full moon post on Facebook, just relax, this too shall pass! I promise. It might not be today... it might not be tomorrow, but eventually it will pass. And one day you will wake up and you will realise even though the deconstruction of your life seemed painful and inconvenient, it lead to the construction of a whole new life, and one that you never knew was even possible!
So here is the spiritual lesson in this story that I realised this week; Life presents you with opportunities. You can choose to see it as challenges but truly it's nothing more than opportunities. Opportunity to grow, to expand and to learn. Opportunity to choose again, to experience life from a new perspective and to break free from the "boxes and roles" we constantly place ourselves in. You can either give your power away by complaining and playing the victim, or you can claim your power back and get involved in the deconstruction and re-construction of your life right now.
The choice of how you will experience this re-construction phase in your life is of course, always yours! And the next time you wonder why everything seems a bit stressful right now, and maybe not going your way, just remind yourself that all of us are always still 'under construction"!
