What Do Your Favourite Insects Reflect About You?
Insects reflect our behaviour. Which insect do you like, think about, see often, feel a closeness to, have a kinship with? See if it is in our directory. ______________________________
Ant (See also Flying Ant below)
Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away. A need to harness energies, indeed. We must not fly away. We must hold fast to that which is true, knowing in our heart of hearts, that the very best will come true.
Each working according to their potential. Persistent. Consistent. Determined. Goal oriented Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho it’s off to work we go. And keep on singing all day long Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho.
(A bridge to our soul life. Indeed, this is what the beautiful butterfly represents. It is asking us to think upon our soul. It is asking us to ponder the soul. It is asking that we ‘take to heart’ the fact that we have a soul. Many of us wander through life without hope. We clamber over rocks and issues within the moments of our day and forget that ‘close by’ is the salvation of the ages. Yes my friends, we fail to recognise the salvation of the ages. And what is the salvation of the ages? Yes, that’s right. The salvation of the ages is our most precious gift; our soul. It is only when we have recognised this gift that all problems begin to cease. Indeed, this is true my friends. When the soul is recognised, all problems begin to cease. Know that this is true. I know that this is true for this has been my experience. An experience so wonderful, so precious, so exhilarating as to bring such wonder into my life; the adventure is overwhelming. An incredible adventure awaits all who recognise the soul. This self recognition is ‘available’ to all. It is not for the feint-hearted. No, indeed it is not. It takes a multitude of energy, persistence, devotion, serenity, calm, intention (the list goes on) to make way in our ever fast paced lives to stop, sit, cogitate, muse, remember, allow, accept the inevitable glorious ability we have within ourselves. Yes my friends, the soul is awaiting recognition. Once recognised it will become obvious to us; the changes it will bring will become obvious to us. No more the obstinate; no more the weary of heart; no more the trying to escape. Yes, the soul allows us to ‘wait’ upon ourselves; to ‘wait’ upon others. And what is this ‘wait’? It is the essence of love; that it is. It is the essence of love engendered ‘within’ that allows us patience; tolerance; acceptance that indeed we are all different. Halleluiah; we are all different. May each and everyone find the soul within. The beautiful butterfly holds the key to our inmost. It is a beacon in an otherwise cloudy day; a light that we can shine upon dismal circumstances; the one to turn to when we are in need. A beginning; just a beginning. A beginning out of darkness into the light of day.)
(Inner anger and disturbances, which need evaluation and releasing.) (What; just go away, as if I haven’t enough on my mind. Trouble, trouble, trouble. That’s all I get… Trouble, trouble, trouble…….. Just Go Away….……….. God, won’t they just leave me alone for a day. Not even a day; it’s just trouble, trouble, trouble…… God, I’m sick of it…………. (A long pause with a very deep sigh.) I’m just so overloaded. … … … (Another deep sigh.) God; I’m just so overloaded. (Another deep sigh.) Boy oh boy (whilst sighing) just can’t take this anymore……. (Another deep sigh.) It’s just all way too much (whilst sighing) If this continues on I don’t think I’ll make it…. I just don’t think I’ll make it…. Wow, (Another deep sigh.) Wow……. Just need some peace….. Just a little peace……… Just need to know that this will all be over with some day…. Need to know that life isn’t meant to be this haaaarrrrrrrrrrddddddddd……. (Another deep sigh.) Glory, glory, glory; will it ever end…….. Well my dear, dear friends; I am aware of the depths to which we can reach….. And this reflection has certainly gone as deep as I would ever like to go….. I have been there personally; many years ago. I remember trying to end my life a few times; life was ‘that’ hard; indeed it was. I didn’t succeed, as you know ;) However, I really wanted to go away from all the darkness; all the inner turmoil; all the hatred, poverty, lies, bad behaviour. Oh yes, my friends; I know this feeling all too well; I’m sad to say. However, I have a feeling that, just as did happen to me; there is a brighter day coming… we just have to hold on to see……….)
(Yes, many of us would like to wrap ourselves up inside a warm and protective covering; just as the Pupa of the beautiful butterfly does. Well, as we know, it’s not the Butterfly who wraps himself up; no, it is the stage before the butterfly emergence; is it not? Indeed. Many of us would prefer not to ‘come out’ of the chrysalis; not for anything. We hide ourselves away; looking for comfort by any means other than ‘the cold light of day’, as they say. And what is ‘the cold light of day’? I’ll tell you. The ‘cold light of day’ is merely a saying for those things that we find a little ‘hard’ to do; a little ‘unsettling’; indeed this is true. And yet; were we to ‘take the bull by its horns’ and allow that ‘light of day’ to shine upon them, we may find that, just like that pupa (inside the chrysalis) is growing and stretching and becoming; perhaps this is just what may happen to us too; if we just allow. Indeed, it can be scary to ‘drop the chrysalis’ and expose ourselves; indeed this is true. I would not suggest that you ‘drop your chrysalis’ without having another form of protection to surround you. Indeed not; we all need some form of protection. To go out in ‘public’ without some form of protection would be well; suicide; and this would never do, no indeed not. No, what I would suggest to you, dear friend; is firstly: Allow the mind to ponder being ‘out’ in public wearing something protective like; let us say; an even temperament. Yes, let’s say that wearing ‘an even temperament’ is a wonderful protective measurement. Secondly; what could be our second protective measure. I know: Our second protective measure could be to ‘be pleasant’; yes, that’s right. Our second protective measure would be to be pleasant to each and everyone that we see. Oh, this is ever so simple really. I bet that you thought it would be difficult to protect yourself whilst out in public. And yet; no, it is not so very difficult at all, indeed. I’m sure that we could go on and on an on and on thinking about how to protect ourselves in public however, I think you are ‘getting the drift’ are you not? Yes, indeed I believe that you are finding ways to protect yourself right at this very moment, indeed.) (Aspects within the individual which require attention i.e. shortcomings usually requiring contemplation to view them in their correct symbology) 'Scurry-scurry here; scurry there. One can’t run away from everywhere. Look deep inside, if you dare. The things that trouble you; they are there'.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………………………… (Hiding!)
Hurry-hurry I mustn’t be late. Hurry-hurry for I have a date. Hurry-hurry I mustn’t forget. No time to ponder or I might be late. Confusion!…Energy bounding away. Get a harness quick; lest your life ebb away.
(Live and let live)
And this is what we have to say to you. Any other name presents the same energy. If, for instance, a name is given; does it change the energy? No, it does not. Energy is energy is energy. The name shall bring energies of its own, however it cannot nor will it 'change' the object; this remains the same. So, when choosing a name be sure that you do not expect the object to resonate with the energies. No, this is an impossibility.
Parasite (All)
This is against universal law. An indication that one must view his/her thoughts which are parasitical in nature, and therefore, not acceptable to the overall good. (General) I am here because you put me here. Your thoughts, your actions, placed me here. Jealousy, anger and pain contribute to the over-whelming energies which control so many of you; eating away at your love. I represent destructive energies, which encompass your world. Don’t hate me; understand that I am you. What you see me do, is what you do. It’s hard to accept; we know it’s true. If we all work together we’ll get through. Praying Mantis - Preamble As a preamble to the Praying Mantis Reflection I feel that it needs an introduction by way of this post. The reflections that I have been asked to create (by my guidance; the Collective Consciousness) are based on the premise that all creatures (indeed all living things) reflect an aspect of man’s nature. We are all aware that there are some wonderful aspects to man’s nature that are caring, selfless, giving and beneficial to all others. However, we are just as aware that the opposite in indeed true. Bearing this in mind the Praying Mantis reflection reminds me of a boss I once had. He, I believe, was a borderline sociopath. Eventually his bullying ways, rudeness and overbearing nature got him fired unceremoniously when a new CEO saw him for what he was and, within a very short time, gave him his marching orders. This was an enormous relief for all of us who had the misfortune to work beside him (or should I say ‘beneath’ him). This was indeed this man’s personality. He overpowered all and sundry with his formidable mental presence, and, in his case, quite a formidable physical presence as well; which only added to his tyrannical presence. He embarrassed and humiliated anyone who dared to have a differing point of view and his sneering look bespoke of a cynical pleasure as he watched all others cringe as he walked past. Eventually nobody spoke for fear that they would encourage his belittling attentions. Such was this man’s nature. He didn’t have any friends; indeed he spoke of being ‘estranged’ from his family. (Being the counsellor that I am I was able to prise this information from him during one of his more ‘vulnerable’ moments.) At a closer look, he was, in fact, quite a lonely character whose only ability was to isolate himself further by his anti-social behaviour. I write this because I feel a need to do so. The Praying Mantis reflection is not for the feint-hearted. It is an attempt to allow us to see and feel the presence of those who are out to do harm. No judgment; this is just their experience. However, we do, I believe, have a responsibility to ourselves not to allow these personality types to bully, demean and in other ways threaten our natures. This is a choice. We can allow this to occur and carry the debilitating energies within us (which are one cause of ill-health); or we can send those energies on their way by asking (whomsoever is our higher power/soul/consciousness/the universe, etc.,) that they (the harmful energies) be returned to the individual who has created them. This, in my experience, does take an enormous amount of resolve, intention, courage and fortitude if we are to be successful. However, I have done this and I know that it has worked for me and for others. I would suggest that you give it a go if you are experiencing the energies of a bullying type or others whose energy leaves a negative vibe. What have you to lose but a little effort and perhaps a great deal of someone else’s energies….. Praying Mantis (General) Have you read the Preamble?
Well enough of that frivolity; there’s work to be done……. (Busy, busy, busy is the Praying Mantis’ life. Up in the morning and off to work; no time to dilly dally; that’s right. We have an ethic and we must uphold it. We are secure in our own sense of self; not like many others whose favours go from this little piece of jetsam to that little piece of flotsam. No; it’s work, work, work, work, work; if you see what I mean. Well yes, I do see what you mean however; I don’t agree with you that life should be all work. We do need to take time to play! Play! Play! You say. Well that’s nonsense. How can we get things done if we play?” That’s the most utter rubbish I’ve heard in years. Well, if you are constantly working you wouldn’t have heard that saying; would you? And secondly; nobody’s probably brave enough to tell you that all work and no play, etc., etc. Don’t get stroppy with me young woman, err human, what ever. I will live my life how I want to and enough is said about that……. Goodness; I’ve attuned to a lot of energies however, this one has really surprised me. I thought that the Praying Mantis would have very different energies. I don’t know what; just different. It would seem that the Praying Mantis represents those of us who are one eyed, so to speak. Individuals such as this energy represents are not capable of enjoyment. It would seem that they are rather righteous in their unstoppable mental attitude; whatever and wherever that happens to fall. Opinionated comes to mind as does defensive. I don’t know why I am vacillating? I don’t know why I cannot come to a conclusion. The Praying Mantis energy seems to be lingering and not allowing me to think clearly. Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy tends to usurp other’s energy in its need to keep itself occupied and busy? Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy endeavours to overpower others? Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy makes those about him/her feel inadequate and incapable? Indeed; all of the foregoing is true. The Praying Mantis energy robs, not from Peter to pay Paul, but for himself/herself. That is sad; and yet it is just an energy; one that we can allow ourselves to be effected by, or not. I choose not to allow the Praying Mantis energy to usurp my energy. Fare thee well Praying Mantis energy; I ask that you return from whence you came…. Ahhhhhhh, feeling better now…….

Anger, trouble. Don’t mess with me.
Oh
how I wish I could live in a chrysalis… It would be
so snug and warm…
What's
