Higher words, higher paths
Decrees are a powerful tool, and we often use them unconsciously, thus bringing into existence things that are deep within us, many of them unpleasant. Curses and obscenities in particular materialize terrible things around us, even if we don't necessarily see the connection between something we've said or an idea we've sustained, and what we're experiencing in the waking world. Of course, the opposite is also true: if we fill our language and minds with elevated images and words, that's what we're going to manifest all the time.
I use Decrees regularly and with as much awareness as I can, speaking exactly what I wish to see expressed in my reality. I can't always contain the occasional vulgarity when I'm irritated, but fortunately that doesn't happen very often; in comparison to how I behaved and talked a decade ago, I have to say my speech is pretty clean, and so are my thoughts insofar as I've been able to unveil them. The more I progressed on my spiritual journey, the more I realized how vital it was to sanitize my conduct, to cleanse myself of judgment and accusation, self-pity and restricting assumptions; I've also developed a lot more care with what I joke about and the information I share with others, because the Universe is neutral, it doesn't care what tone we use to say what we say, it just records it and then makes it happen.
When I started on Hive, I made a few Decrees, among them the access to new tools for my work, including psychedelic substances for profound work as opposed to recreation. This week, those Decrees began to flow: later today, I'll get some LSD with a cousin and on Thursday, I'll be able to try Jurema, a sacred medicine of Brazilian origin that I've been calling for a while. At some point during December, I also plan to bake a special brownie with some friends. The wedding this weekend was an announcement of a month filled with celebrations and rituals, so I'm getting ready to share the abundance that I'm experiencing with many people. This is another thing I've learned about Decrees and spiritual work as a whole: I improve my life not to keep these blessings to myself, but to spread them around wherever I go. That's what Bounty and Plenty are about, the more we give willingly, the more we receive.
If you want to enhance your reality, you have to obtain deeper understanding of what you say and think, of how it makes you feel. Does worrying over potential catastrophes or complaining about stuff you don't like serve your purposes? Does it make you happy to whip yourself with impossible demands? I don't think anyone really enjoys trolling, hating on things, bitching and ranting; I know for a fact that nobody can build a better reality for themselves through insults and rejection. If you're going through a tough situation, take some time to review your speech and your thoughts, you're manifesting the situation and you can unravel it as well, but you have to be aware of your habits and change those that impoverish your world.
Higher words, words with a clear purpose, materialize higher contexts and connections. If by changing the statements that you utter and the vibration of your imagination, you notice that some people drift away from you, or that some contexts become inaccessible, that's the cleansing doing its job! Don't concern yourself with what's leaving your life, concern yourself only with what you're receiving and experiencing now. When we're truly connected with our inner essence, we can only bring forth wonder into our lives and anything that isn't wonder will vanish. So I encourage you to pronounce the Decrees that you actually want, every day, at every moment, and to accept the prices that must be paid for each gift and blessing. I exhort you to deconstruct your programmed dialogues and inner monologues, and to elevate them with every breath. Also, pay attention! The Glory that you call expresses itself immediately after the Calling is made, don't miss it!
Act! You have waited very long already to work on a sensitive issue, now the energy is auspicious and you have support, harness the opportunity. Do not deviate nor come up with excuses, what you have to do has been clear for some time, resolve your conflicts and allow yourself to live in serenity. Choose a direction and move, you will see enormous progress in a very short time but you must overcome your fear of advancing. Reconcile differences and gather strengths, concentrate, do not rationalize or analyze so much. Take control of your identity and presence, it is not the tool but what you do with it. You have destruction and creation in your hands, How have you used them? What is your current will? Dance, sing, express yourself, your being yearns for exposure. The Storm that you have crossed, you carry in your body, the lightning is your fate.
