Beyond my Sky, Crossing my Veil

In the vast openness of awareness, the sky is boundless and the clouds pass effortlessly overhead, there exists another layer. It is the veil, the thread-thin illusion that makes us believe we are small, that convinces us of our limitations and that they are real.

If you started to realize you are not the clouds—that you are the sky—then you are already in motion. You have started to question, to wonder. You may not feel ready to let go, but you sense there is more. And that is enough.

Forgetting and The Game of Limitation

Imagine, for a moment, that before you arrived in this life, you knew yourself as infinite. You knew that you were vast, powerful, and limitless. But there was one condition to entering this world: you had to forget. You had to step into a reality where you would believe you were separate, limited, and defined by the past.

This was not a punishment. It was a game—a sacred puzzle designed to be woven thread by thread. The question was never whether you would remember, but when.

Most people accept the illusion without question. They believe in the walls placed before them. They measure themselves against expectations, rules, and standards created by others. They think, This is who I am, This is all I can be.

But some—like you—begin to notice the loose threads in the fabric of reality. You begin to feel that what you’ve been told about yourself doesn’t match the truth you sense deep inside. You begin to question. And questioning is where the creation of life truly begins.

Learning to Trust the Design

The mind, when left unchecked, becomes the guardian of the veil. It whispers stories of fear, of inadequacy, of impossibility. It tells you that you must be perfect before you make changes, that you must be sure before your next step. And so you hesitate. You overthink. You try to control, believing certainty of every outcome will bring you safety.

But here is the paradox: The more you seek control, the tighter your fabric of limitations becomes. Perfectionism is not the pursuit of excellence—it is the fear of an imperfect thread, a thread that doesn’t match the concept you were given. Overthinking is not intelligence—it is the avoidance of change.

But what if the so-called errors in your fabric—the missteps, the doubts, the imperfections—are not mistakes, but intentional variations in the grand design of Life? What if every unraveling moment is an invitation to create something even more impactful, more beautiful?

You sensed something deeper. You saw that each perceived limitation was merely a stitch, a temporary hesitation that could be taken forward. So they began to pull at the threads—not in fear, but in curiosity. A question here. A refusal to accept limitation there. A moment of stillness where they felt something greater than the noise of the mind.

And then, one day, with one final breath—they wove instead of unraveling.

The Fabric Was Always Yours to Shape

The veil did not fray. It did not resist. It simply was transformed, thread by thread, into something beautiful, something new. It had only ever existed in your imagination because it was believed in.

And beyond it? There was not darkness. Not emptiness. Not fear.

There was only life. Unfiltered and Infinite.

Everything had always been here. The power. The knowing. The freedom. The sky had never been a ceiling, and the limits had never been real.

Transformation Through the Cocoon of Awareness

Much like a silkworm, you have spent your life spinning the threads of your reality. You have woven the stories that have kept you safe, wrapped in beliefs that defined your existence. Some of those threads were strong, guiding you toward growth. Others, woven from fear, became the enclosing cocoon that protected you, keeping you in familiar patterns.

But a silkworm does not remain within its cocoon forever. The chrysalis is not a prison; it is a sacred space of transformation. When the time comes, the cocoon that protects must be broken from within. The wings, fragile at first, take form, unfolding in their own perfect time.

So too with you. Your limitations were never meant to be permanent walls. They were merely the chrysalis in which your transformation took place. The doubts, the struggles, the unraveling—they were never signs of failure. They were the very forces that prepare you for flight.

Your Invitation: To Weave and to Soar

If you are reading this, it is because you already started questioning. You felt the weight of idealism, of self-doubt, of overthinking—but something inside you knows there is more.

And there is.

You do not have to tear everything apart to find the truth. You do not have to unravel yourself completely. You only need to begin weaving with awareness—to see every slipup as a stroke of artistry in the masterpiece of your life.

The question is not whether you will create something beautiful. The question is: Are you ready to trust the design?

Because the moment you do, you will realize what has always been true:

You were never broken.
You were never lost.
You were always the weaver, The Creator of your reality.

And now, you are also the butterfly and it is time to spread your wings..

The Veil and the Firebird

In the twilight before dawn, she stood before a great, shimmering veil. It stretched infinitely in all directions, woven from strands of golden mist and the whisper of forgotten dreams. This was the Veil of Illusion, the fabric of all that had been told about reality—the weight of inherited beliefs draped over like a cloak of fog.

Behind her, the city slumbered, its spires lost in the quiet hum of unconscious thought. The streets wound in intricate loops, leading wanderers back to where they had started. Many within its walls had never seen beyond the narrow alleys of their mind, mistaking the walls for the edge of existence. They lived content in the comfort of certainty, unaware of the vast sky above.

But she had always felt the pulse of something more.

As she reached out to touch the perception of the veil, it rippled like water, reflecting countless versions of herself—some bound by fear, some reaching toward something beyond. Each face bore the marks of the illusions they had believed in: the limitations, the control, the idea that the world was small and limited by the rules of those who feared the unknown.

And then, from the other side of the veil, a firebird appeared.

Made of pure light, its wings an endless dance of silver in a sky of burning gold. With a gaze like twin suns, it peered into her depths, illuminating every illusion she still held within. The fear of stepping beyond what was known. The doubt that she could truly be free, the whispers of a thousand voices telling her she must stay where it was safe.

The firebird’s voice was neither sound nor word, but a knowing that resounded within her being:

“You are not what you have been told. The walls you see were built from borrowed dreams. The veil was spun from the stories of those too afraid to see beyond it. Do you wish to remain, or will you set yourself free?”

The moment of choice was an eternity and a breath. And then, with her heart blazing like the firebird’s wings, she stepped forward.

The veil of her self-imposed thoughts did not resist; it dissolved around her like morning mist yielding to the sun. The moment she passed through, the city behind her disappeared, revealing an expanse of infinite sky. The illusion had never been real—only her belief in it had made it so.

Now, she stood at the edge of a vast cosmic ocean, the stars reflecting upon its surface like memories of the universe itself. No longer bound, no longer afraid, she turned to the firebird, who had now become part of her, its wings woven into her very being. She understood, at last, the nature of reality:

That limitation had always been an illusion, a choice.

That freedom had always been there, within.

That the illusion had only ever served as the threshold to awakening.

She turned back once more, seeing that the city had not truly disappeared—it remained where it always had, waiting for others to awaken. And in that moment, she knew her path: not just to fly but to guide others through their own veils, to help them see the illusions that bound them and the infinite sky that awaited beyond.

With the firebird’s whisper echoing in her soul, she spread her own wings and soared into the unknown, knowing that she had always been meant to fly.

Redefining Awareness and Embracing Limitless Possibility 

 

Life, at its core, is a dance of energies—a symphony of experiences that shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that these energies are not just abstract concepts; they are tangible, immersive fields that we step into, like clouds floating across the vast expanse of the sky. This realization has transformed not only how I navigate my own life but also how I guide others on their journeys of self-discovery.  

In this blog post, I want to take you deeper into this metaphor of the sky, exploring how it can redefine your awareness and empower you to live with greater intention, freedom, and joy.  

The Metaphor of the Sky and the Clouds  

Imagine your awareness as the sky—vast, boundless, and unchanging. Now, imagine the energies you experience as clouds—temporary, ever-shifting, and varied in their qualities. Some clouds are light and radiant, filled with love, joy, or peace. Others are dark and heavy, carrying fear, anger, or sadness.  

For much of our lives, we mistake ourselves for those clouds. When we feel anger, we believe we are anger. When we feel fear, we believe we are fear. This identification is natural, even instinctive. But it’s also limiting. It traps us in a narrow view of who we are, convincing us that we are defined by our emotions, circumstances, or struggles.  

The truth is far more liberating: You are not the cloud. You are the sky.  

The Power of Awareness 

Awareness is the key to stepping out of this identification. It’s the moment you realize that you are not your thoughts, your emotions, or your experiences. You are the observer, the experiencer, the one who notices the clouds but remains untouched by them.  

This shift in perspective is profound. It means that no matter how dark or heavy a cloud may feel, it cannot define you. It cannot limit you. It is simply passing through.  But here’s the challenge: **How do we cultivate this awareness in our daily lives?**  

### **Cultivating Awareness: A Step-by-Step Guide**  

1. **Pause and Notice**  

   The first step is to pause. When you feel a strong emotion or energy, take a moment to notice it. Name it. Are you in a cloud of frustration? Anxiety? Joy? Simply acknowledging the energy creates a space between you and it.  

   For example, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, you might say to yourself, *“I am in a cloud of overwhelm right now.”* This simple act of naming the energy begins to dissolve its hold on you.  

2. **Detach with Compassion**  

   Once you’ve named the energy, remind yourself that you are not the energy. You are the sky. The cloud is temporary, but your awareness is constant.

   This doesn’t mean suppressing or denying your emotions. It means holding them with compassion, recognizing that they are part of your experience but not your essence.  

3. **Choose Your Focus**  

   Now that you’ve created space between yourself and the cloud, you have a choice. Where do you want to direct your attention? What energy would serve you best in this moment?  

   For instance, if you’re in a cloud of self-doubt, you might choose to shift your focus to a cloud of empowerment. This could mean recalling a past success, repeating an affirming mantra, or simply taking a deep breath and reminding yourself of your inherent worth.  

4. **Practice, Practice, Practice**  

   Like any skill, cultivating awareness takes practice. There will be moments when you forget, when you slip back into identifying with the cloud. That’s okay. What matters is that you keep coming back to the awareness that you are the sky.  

   Over time, this practice becomes second nature. You begin to move through life with greater ease, knowing that no matter what clouds arise, they cannot diminish your true nature.  

### **The Ripple Effect of Awareness**  

When you cultivate this level of awareness, the impact extends far beyond yourself. You become a beacon of clarity and calm for those around you. Your ability to navigate your own energies with grace and intention inspires others to do the same.  

Imagine a world where more people recognize that they are not their emotions, their circumstances, or their struggles. Imagine a world where we all understand that we are the sky—vast, limitless, and inherently free.  

This is the world we can create, one moment of awareness at a time.
