The Rainbow Bridge: Bridging The Past And Present

It is this very moment that which is a pivotal point in history. Not a global sense, but on an individual sense. All the teachings of old and all the references of how “we” should be…all point to the self. Our actions can change our own history, thereby changing history of humanity. It is our actions that can change seven generations after us.

The ‘Seven Generations’ is a philosophy, or a teaching, that the indigenous people from all across the globe have taught their children for centuries. Their philosophy is: our actions in this very moment have the ability to change seven generations after our own. Think about it, we not only think about our own personal life, but the generations to come. This simple act raises our awareness to a higher vibration of awareness. This simple act can change future generations, but what about the seven generations before us?

It is this essential time that we must forgive and allow healing to begin, allowing the seven generations before us to be healed. With awareness of our actions, we change the course of history for seven generations, but through forgiveness of ourselves, and where we have traveled, we allow our ancestors to heal as well.

As we forgive, we heal our past. Not just our own, but the seven generation before us. As we forgive, releasing the shadows of the past, we step forward into brighter light…that of love. With every step from there forward, we change the seven generations of the future. Thereby in this very moment we have the ability to bridge the seven generations before and the seven generations after.
We are the Rainbow Bridge. Just as the rainbow reminds us of the beauty from the rain, it gives us further wisdom of our daily actions. Imagine the seven colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The colors of the Rainbow are symbolic of the seven generations, with each color symbolic of each generation of the past.  Our past projects the colors forward, received at a pivotal point in history, that being us, and are projected outward in pure light. We are that pivotal point.

The Rainbow Bridge is often correlated with bridging the gap between the physical plane and the afterlife. It is much more than that. It is the bridge that carries us from different planes: before and afterlife, generations to generation. We are the Rainbow Bridge, we are the pivotal point in history, we are the change we seek.

If we take a crystal, putting it in the path of the sun, a rainbow emerges.  On one side pure light, while projecting the spectrum of a rainbow from the other. This is reflective of the self, as we focus on the source of light we are shown the rainbow of our past. Our knowledge of who we are, where we have traveled and how our DNA has been handed down to us, becomes that much clearer…We Just Know.

Focusing on the painted colors of our past, just for a moment, we allow ourselves to heal. Through our healing process, awareness, and intentions, our focus shifts to what we want most…more Light. Allowing the teachings of the seven generations before, we project forward, manifesting a life filled with more light.

As the pivotal point within self, we shift from the morning of our lives into the afternoon of our lives.

During our own lifetimes we make a shift in consciousness, no longer living vicariously, but purposefully. As Carl Jung often discussed, we shift from the ‘morning of our lives’ to the ‘afternoon of our lives’ changing our steps and our actions to that of being more purposeful. We are the pivotal point from past to future, in our lifetime and in past and future lifetimes. In this present moment, we have the ability to heal not only ourselves, but the seven generations before and after. We are the Rainbow Bridge receiving the seven generations of the past, while projecting forward pure light…pure bliss.

But how? How can we bridge the gap between past and present? How do we heal our ancestors of old? Through the forgiveness of self, we forgive them and the teachings that have brought darkness upon us. Through our own forgiveness we forgive the past generations, thereby healing them and releasing them of any guilt. Lifting this guilt our consciousness becomes that much lighter…allowing our steps to be such.

But what our future? How can we assure our future generations? Through Love. Love is the highest vibration on the spectrum of Light. As our darkened past enters, we forgive. Through our forgiveness, we transform our past into a Loving, brighter future.

After receiving this message and writing it down, I shared them with a co-worker. As we discussed the here and now, changing our own history, we began to see wholeness within the self, our ancestors of before and those who have not yet arrived. We saw the “red Thread” of humanity within the self. This red thread intertwines us all within the present, but also intertwines us with the past, present and future. This thread cannot be broken, but it can be threaded with Love. Love is the pivotal point, it is the Rainbow Bridge. When we forgive ourselves of our past, we are stepping forward In Love. In Love, we step gracefully and purposefully not only for the self, but for future generations.

Talking about the here and now, the seven generations are not about the seven generations of before-and-after, but about the self. In one hand we have our past, the other our future. As we bring them together in Love, we heal all the generations before and after, allowing Love and Light to prevail. Our past is also symbolic of the masculine, while the future symbolizes the feminine. Bringing the masculine and the feminine together, as one, we are made whole once again. In wholeness, we move forward effortlessly, shedding more light on our days.

My co-worker had an a-ha moment just then, as she discussed the book of Revelations. Revelations talks about an end of days, but too often we look to the future for this great battle of humanity…when we need only look within myself. This battle spoken in revelations is not of humanity but on individual level. Those willing to stand and fight against themselves shall find paradise. As we walk through our personal ‘Valley of Death,’ we emerge victorious over our self-mastery.

As one co-worker was explaining to another about the conversation we had, she expresses, “You thought all that this morning?” I replied yes. “And here all I thought was TGIF.”

Laughing now we both acknowledge that TGIF can sum up what had just been written. What I just thought of and what she just thought of…is just that. It’s that pivotal point in our lives that we just say, “TGIF.” My co-worker laughing now replies, “I’m on fire!”

Stepping into the Canvas as the Rainbow Bridge, bridging the gap between our past and future. As we step in forgiveness, the generations before shall be healed; Stepping in compassion our future just got a whole lot brighter.

Rewriting Life Chapters

As we cycle through the chapters of our lives, we either pay attention to the pages or we skim along. Not one person can write our chapters for us…for it is our own responsibility to write them. Going through the motions or putting things to motion, it’s up to us.

What happens if we come to the next chapter and the pages are blank? Occasionally this does happen: a cycle ends, leaving us in wonder of what to do. It is suggested we sit in contemplation, giving thanks to where we have traveled and how far we have come. In giving thanks to our travels, we are launched forward into more chapters of gratitude.

The morning met me with blank pages. I went to the gym at 5 AM, with the intent of working out. My workouts are usually ready and written out before I step foot in the gym, but was surprised when nothing was written on the pages…I had no plan. It was at this moment, of blank pages, I realized the cycle has been repeated many times before.  After completing an intense twelve week lifting regime, I started a twelve week cardio-routine only to quit at week three. How do I know this?…because the pages were empty. This is not the first time. As I stated earlier…I have repeated this cycle before.

As I turn the page in my workout journal, the pages were blank. My first response was “oh no what am I going to do?” Laughing now, I realize that I’ve repeated this cycle before. You see, I did a twelve-week intense weightlifting cycle followed by a cardio-cycle. The problem is two to three weeks into the cardio-cycle I dropped off and lost interest in the cycle. This time is different…I press on. Tonight, I will re-write this chapter of my life…I will write the next nine weeks of cardio.

How do I go about pressing on? Rather simply, I write the next chapter. As we write down our intentions on the pages of our lives, we are committing to carrying out the writings. By writing out the next few weeks of the cardio-cycle, I will see them through.

Just as in writing our personal  chapters for one aspect of life, we can apply this to every aspect. Whether it is mind, body, or soul, we can apply these steps in our daily lives. When the pages are blank, the skies the limit…write the pages as if limitless possibilities exist.

For me, I enter a cycle of physicality. A cycle where I focus on my physical fitness. Not for any one reason except that wholeness includes: physically fit; mentally fit; and spiritually fit…the greatest of these is spirituality. In strengthening the first two, spirituality will sure to follow. However, strengthening ones faith will attract the other two.

This is a daily practice. Every day make a point of exercising the physical body, the mental body, and the spiritual body. Exercising the three we are whole.

The physical body is exercised through…you guessed it…physical activity. Whatever your favorite activity is, please add it to your days. Whether it’s walking, running, swimming or conditioning with weights, it is a self-obligation to strengthen the physical body. In order to strengthen the temple, which houses the spiritual and mind-body, we must exercise the body. What if we are limited by physical bodies? Do what is most appropriate to our ability…while dropping limiting beliefs.

Exercising the mind-body is a little different. Some may use crossword puzzles, word games, reading, or just stretching the imagination. Whatever the case take twenty minutes out of the day to exercise that mind-body. Read a book, do puzzles…stretch the mind further than before. In doing so we exercise the brain, keeping the physical muscle healthy into later years.

The spiritual body is different. This we exercise throughout the day, as it encompasses all. With our intent, we are led through the mind and physical bodies. If our spiritual connection lacks exercise, then our daily mind and physical activities will prove difficult. If we are connected to that of source, then all things will just go with the flow. It is essential to be present in our days and mindful of our activities. Many will say this is wasted energy, assuredly it is not. Connect with source as often as possible and everything else will follow.

We can choose to sit passively upon our empty pages, or we can securely write the next chapters. Just as in empty pages of my workout journal, there are often empty pages within our lives. We can choose to throw our hands up in helplessness or we can press forward in confidence. Even if the direction is unclear, the effort is not for naught…press on.

Remaining passive, often stagnating our position; whilst assertiveness ignites the flame of desire.

Whatever the chapters may hold: if it is positive, negative or blank…they are meant to be re-written. We have the ability to re-write at any given moment…our own chapters of life as we see fit. If there is something holding us back, change the vision. It is through our own thoughts our beliefs are changed. If things are not the way we would like them to be…then it is time to change our thoughts to that of which we desire. Aligning with source aids in this process…igniting the internal flame of desire. Ignite the flame now.

Stepping into the Canvas with eraser and pencil in hand. If the future looks bleak or the past has a stronghold on today, erase these thoughts of despair and re-write them with confidence and hopefulness. As we erase thoughts of negativity, re-write them with positivity. Time to re-write the next chapter of life…now.
