The Ring: A Symbol of
Self
by Honesty Rivers
Note: This is a little tongue-and-cheek humor...hmmm, just a little!
 I
have been contemplating
how alike to electrons we humans can be. Their
behavior is rather erratic, and they are constantly seeking other
electrons to “attach” to because they feel so incomplete in
themselves.
The resulting element is
something totally new; neither retains its original self, and most are
forever changed by the encounter. Often, due to the attachment,
either a big bang occurs, or the energy sort of, well...just fizzles out.
Now then, here's the fun
part. See if you
notice the similarity. Go to a park; any park. Sit and watch. Nearly
everyone is looking at everyone else, usually with nearly imperceptible
glances. You can almost hear them thinking “Will
he be the one?” “Will she
notice me?”
These glances are taking place everywhere, on a continual
basis, with two main exceptions: young happy couples, and old miserable
ones. These exceptions are content to gaze at each other, or to look away.
However preoccupied, couples seem to exist in their own separate worlds.
How does one avoid
this happenstance of losing one’s self and being gobbled up in
this strange world of “Couple-dom” that nearly everyone seems to be
seeking? And yet...once there...they can’t wait to escape?!
I’ve devised such a
simple solution, it will make you laugh. Or, at least, I hope you will
smile. But it requires a special kind of courage. As you read on, ask
yourself if you are up to the challenge!
Instead of waiting to
find “The One” to place a ring on your finger, try this: Buy YOURSELF
the loveliest ring you can find—one that is perfect for you—and place
it on your own finger. Everyone
will think you are already “taken;” already “attached.” And most
people won’t even look your way. You will at last be free!
Just think of it! You
will be free to go to a park, or attend to your errands, without
encountering unwanted advances from numerous lost souls looking for
something to cling to. You will be free to finally go about your business
without the tiresome, and sometimes dangerous, distractions that plague
most of humanity. You won't have to please anyone, or constantly
compromise. You will be free to be yourself, both outside your home,
and within it. What a concept!
This
Solution Contains
the Seed
of an Even More Significant Advantage
If you choose, you can
create your own Sacred Ceremony where you commit to be True to your Self.
I believe Shakespeare
was truly inspired when he wrote, to paraphrase:
“To thine own Self be
true. And it follows, as the day follows the night, that thou canst not
then be false to anyone.”
And so, as you place your
own ring on your own hand, you might consider saying something like this:
“I now solemnly
vow to be my own Best Friend; my own Best Companion in life. I will do
what is good and true for this being, housed in this human temple: the
Being that I AM whom Mother-Father God has placed on this Good Earth for a Good
Reason.
I am here for a
Purpose, an integral part of the Divine Master Plan of Life. My best
talents and my own inner knowing and feelings will guide me to that
purpose. And I will value who I Am. No longer do I allow needless
distractions and disharmonies to alter the course from my True Path.
I now ask that all
aspects of myself be brought into alignment with the True Source of
life: my own God Presence and my own Goddess Presence. I ask that I be made consciously aware of
this alignment and the connection to my Source. I vow to love the Self
that I AM, and to honor the expressions I create in my life.
I now affirm that I
am complete and whole, as Divine Love and Light intended me to be. And
I will honor this life in which I choose to express the highest and best
within me, just as I choose to honor the lives and expressions of
others. And so it is!”
Yes.
And so it is!
Happy
Note
If you are already your own Best Friend, living from a place of
balance and wholeness,
then you probably won't need to do something like what I've described
here.
You will already be attracting whole, healthy people into your life. Once you are
truly your own best friend, you will naturally attract Givers, rather than
takers.
How Wonderful!
