Light Work(er)


“Light Work(er)”

As we emerge into this great era of awakening, the spiritual path/soul’s evolutionary journey has become quite trendy. Everyone or most or at the very least a lot more than in the past seems to put emphasis on “being the light”, transcending energies and the manifestation powers of positive thinking or just our thoughts in general. This is a beautiful emergence for the Universe and its inhabitants as we all ascend/benefit from this shift and I encourage/welcome it. Yet I simply want to provide the reminder & assurance that this road is not by any means smooth and it is in fact like everything else under the laws of this Universe, work. The most Honorable Elijah Muhammad stated that “work is the greatest remedy available”, and I personally couldn’t agree more. But not just work in the sense of labor for compensation, but work in all aspects (physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually). Healing is work, aint no getting around that. Self-awareness is work. Self-correction/discipline is work, hard work and you just have to put in the work (to see desired results). See, I created ActressAmiraAscending to be a virtual space of peace & serenity but by no means do I intend to portray the healing process as such. This ultimate journey of self-exploration is work, hard work. It’s fighting your lower self for the sake of your higher self. It’s being your own best friend against the urge to be your own greatest enemy. It’s having a healthy pride in you and all the while disarming your ego. It’s being humble (already) yet constantly being “humbled” by life experiences. It’s being self-sufficient yet succumbing to your human need to reach out to your fellow man for help. It’s being willing to explore & accept your perceived “dark side” yet constantly choosing to serve/nurture your seed of righteousness. It’s having faith that everything will be alright all the while knowing that you are not exempt from the calamities of this thing/experience we call life. It’s having the courage to put in the work of letting go of who you are in order to step into you highest self/destiny. It’s work, “light work” but aint nothing “lightweight” about it, yet it renders you to shed off “deadweight” making you as light as a feather while you ascend to new heights with the assistance of its turbulence. It’s weird, uncomfortable, intriguing and perplexing but it’s worth it. Not only for ourselves but for our observers as well and it’s the only way we get to “be the light” and consequently shine.


“Child we all are moons in the darkest night aint no morning going to come til the time is right. Can’t get to better days unless you make it through the night.”

Word is Bond

Word Is Bond “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (John1:1 )…..if I’m not mistaken I believe scripture is stating that God’s Word is his bond or even that he and all any of us ever truly have is his word, which is sufficient. How many times have you uttered or heard the phrases, “word is bond” or “all I have is my word”? I’m assuming quite enough   but I don’t think we really, fully grasp the spiritual magnitude those phrases holds. At least I know I didn’t up until I found myself back at that messy part of this healing journey, the “pain pit stop”! Where I’m experiencing a new cycle of pain and for a moment was temporarily tempted to “stop & fold at hurt” ( Blog #5, “When It Hurts-It Hurts”) simply because, well honestly, I was hurting. But then I recalled during a previous cycle of pain when I received one of the simplest yet most profound advice to simply “follow my words”. After all, my word is my bond right? See...

Note To Self- Trust The Mofo Process (TTMP)

Trust The Process Growing up, I've always heard folks amongst me say faith & fear/worry can't occupy the same space as well as worry or fear is the opposite of faith and that if you trust & have faith in God then there's no need to be worried. Now, while I agree that faith should diminish fear I've also learned that the true opposition to faith is in fact SIGHT.  I've gotten this lesson first hand through experimenting with "fortune telling". I found that even after "reading the signs"& coming to ones own interpretation or even receiving great news of things to come that I still couldn't find the peace of mind that my soul yearned to get me through the here & now and all the ups and downs it brings. After a series of lessons....& readings Allah revealed to me through a message delivered by Pastor Phil Munsey titled "Are We There Yet". See, Faith is much deeper than believing & knowing of the magn...

Peace by Piece

Peace By Piece Oftentimes when we’re looking for peace (of mind) we go on a hunt. We search through music, film, literature, speeches/lectures, therapy, interpersonal stimulating discussions & even prayer all in attempts to find a word which will bring us peace (of mind). But as we progress to yearn for true inner peace on the highest level those things seem to only scratch the surface providing the illusion of temporary peace that lasts only for as long as your program of choice. But I’ve come to find that true peace of mind is obtained piece by piece through moments of peace and quiet(ness). Only when I quiet my mind am I able to experience true peace regardless of how fleeting that moment may be/appear to be, it is real, which means in reality it is eternal, I simply have to remember to remain tuned into it. See, because as we all know oftentimes our own mind can be our worst and a lot of the times our only real enemy we have right? Or at least the only enemy w...
