Welcome

Welcome to Broken Wings. These writings are a part of my own journey of self discovery. I have no answers, but I am asking questions and pondering and looking within to see what I find. I share my writings in hope of helping others in their journey of self discovery, in hopes of encouraging others to look within themselves to find the insights in to their own questions.

All I know is that I know nothing

Simple Is Not A Four Letter Word

Simple is not a four letter word!  Have you noticed that if you give someone a simple answer they often have a hard time accepting it?  OR if we ask a question and we receive a simple, direct answer we are astounded and have difficulty believing things could be that simple?  We often hear... but that's too simple!

Our world has become so complicated.  We have to discuss, analyze, fact find and use big, important words to back all of our understanding or we just can't wrap our brain around a concept.  We want facts, we want written proof, we want technological sounding words to prove to us that ideas are real.  We have a really difficult time with just following our inner guidance or trusting our intuition, we basically do not trust ourselves.  We need someone or something outside of us to validate what we know and show us that it is somehow true.

How did we lose our ability to view things simplistically? How did we lose our ability to look within ourselves to find our answers?  How did simple become a four letter word to most people?

We were built with our own inner system of knowing what we need to know, our own little link or pathway to all of the knowledge that is available to everyone in the world.  We can ALL tap into that knowledge when it is necessary.  Somewhere along the line we got a kink in our system of beliefs and began to feel that we had to look outside of ourselves to find wisdom, to find answers, to have our own understanding validated. We somehow got a kink in our knowledge hose. How do we unkink that hose?

We could start by letting go of our feelings of unworthiness.  When an answer comes to us we sometimes feel unworthy to receive such information.  We may think,  "Who am I to receive such information?"  How about we ask this instead,  "Who am I to not receive this information?"  Why would we reject information coming through to us?  We are ALL perfect beings of love and light who are perfectly capable of connecting with the higher consciousness of the whole world.  We are all pieces of the big puzzle.  The only thing keeping us from connecting is our own self doubt.  Our self doubt is kinking the hose!

If we wish to receive information we must let go of our self doubt.  Self doubt is kind of like a fly in our can of car polish.  We spread the polish all over our car to make it shine, but end up with a big cloudy spot because there's a fly in our ointment. Parts of our car may be shiny and clear, but that fly of doubt it is putting a cloud on our finish.  If we can remove our feelings of unworthiness and self doubt our entire vehicle will shine as if we've been polished.

How do we remove the self doubt and unworthiness?  Are we ready for the SIMPLE answer?

Open our hearts and minds to the idea that we are perfect just the way we are and that we, each and every One of us, are fully loved.

We must simply stop looking at everything through the filter of our brain and start seeing everything through our heart.

When we are able to look at the world from the center of ourselves, from our heart, we will begin to understand that the only thing that really matters at all in this world is LOVE and our fear, self doubt and feelings of unworthiness will begin to disappear.  It's that simple.

I'm sensing many of us are still doubting this, but remember, this is a process we aren't Masters of our bodies and minds yet, we are still learning and someday the simplicity of it all really will all just fall into place for us.  Let's not complicate things by over analyzing them or try to figure them all out. Lets just take a deep breath and  let it all soak in for awhile.
