Unique Times

If you put me on a pedestal 
You’ll have to take me down
So you might want to be careful 
Of whom you find worthy to wear that crown

If you put me on a pedestal
You’ll have to take me down
You’ll scream and fight and and moan and groan 
But then see how much you’ve grown

If you put me on a pedestal
You’ll have to take me down
Your hidden jewels inside of you
Are waiting to be polished, shine and flown

If you put me on a pedestal 
You’ll have to take me down
You are just fine, without me
Now spread your wings and leave the ground

If you put me on a pedestal 
You’ll have to take me down 
Don’t listen to anyone who tells you differently
For their own ego or greed; it’s simply unfound

If you put me on a pedestal 
You’ll have to take me down
Believing in false Gods and dogma
So they could be the talk of the town

If you Put me on a Pedestal
You’ll have to take me down
Learn from others and go your own way
Honor their gifts and make them your own.

If you Put me on a Pedestal
You’ll have to take me down.
As you rise and take the throne
You have arrived, and don’t let anyone take your crown.

Congratulations!

My son just told us a story the other day which I had never heard about before and thank God.  Some stories are better left untold till a later time and some maybe, not at all. I may have flipped a gasket.  One of our babysitters was driving him and his sister to the store. He was about 7 at the time and she was 9. They were driving down our block about 10 miles per hour and he saw a huge semi truck heading towards them.

He thought surely that she saw it and would pull over and didn’t say anything and then he watched the truck hit them head on.  He was terrified and shaken of course like they all were but luckily ok.  He said in that moment he realized people and parents weren’t perfect and no one should be put on a pedestal.  It was an eye opening experience to realize that at such a young age which might explain his rebelliousness.

We all have people we admire and look up to that have served as wonderful mentors in our lives. 
It may be a colleague, a writer, a singer, a band, a teacher, a world leader, a workshop leader, a yogi,  a friend, a minister, a guru and the list can go on and on.
Whoever this person is for you, we gain wisdom and insight from their knowledge, talent and lessons they impart.

We hang on every word and are in awe of everything they say and that’s how we learn. There is nothing wrong with it unless it puts you in a place of denying your own inner wisdom which has happened in many cults where they are truly only looking out for their own ego, greed and money. 
There are many organizations documented and people who have been prisoners to this horrifying experience.  The few I have known personally, have gotten out thankfully.

If you had a solid foundation when you were growing up it makes it easier not to fall prey to false God’s or someone who would lead you astray from your own moral compass. When you feel loved and have had boundaries, you know where you begin and where another stops and you are free to make choices of your own. If on the other hand you were abused and didn’t have a parental figure in your life that anchored you and emulated love with good moral judgement, it’s going to be harder for you.  Just know that and keep your antenna up.  As a general rule anyone who points you towards your own inner wisdom is someone you can most likely trust and anyone that has an agenda for you, is probably someone to steer clear of.

I have had many mentors and teachers in my life and feel blessed by their guidance and sharing their experience and wisdom.  Each one of them has brought me to my center and core and the essence of the divine and love from which we came.  

I also have had others that have put me on a pedestal and when that happens it is shattering for them when they find out that I am human with blemishes and faults.  Even though we are spiritual beings living in a physical body, to error is to be human.  If you are one of them who has put me on a pedestal and happen to be reading this, I want you to know that I am truly sorry for anything I may have done or said to cause you to feel hurt. While we may have gone our separate ways, I wish you love, joy, health and blessing always.

Shine your light and love and remember to ask and you will receive. We are each divine love, light, soul, principle and spirit. We are one.

Blessings for a greart Hump Day Wednesday as you celebrate another day.
