Today over email a friend confided in all the seemingly crazy events occurring, all coming in waves and each one hitting harder. A relationship fading away, money issues causing worry, family drama and all the such. In reply I was pleased with my thoughts, having been through times like this I felt I was finally able to draw on my experience as well as relate to concepts of Buddhism. So, here is what I formulated:
It totally is cleaning house and a huge lesson. We all know, especially our circle here, that there is more out there than what we see in front of us. Our veils are very thick at times. This is one of those times where all energies are focused so you can clean house. It reminds me of why I picked a study of Buddhism, to clean things out of the mind, or to clean the room that is the mind. It’s like cleaning your room, as I heard a monk say once. All you see is the clutter in front of you and on that day you don’t see that the sun is shining and the neighbor is washing his car and people are shopping. Although, and this is another lesson, to be cleaning the clutter but thinking of shopping, this is the untrained mind. I guess my point is, you are cleaning house and you are meant to focus on this aspect right now. When you are done, the energy of the universe will shift as you need it to. Often when we enter a spiritual practice, things will die off; relationships, habits, ways of thinking. Just to make room for new understanding. It may not feel good right now but I am very happy you are cleaning house. 6 months from now you won’t have these negative attachments clinging to you and taking up resources for what you are meant to be doing.
Not that I’m some great Yogini or Buddhist teacher but once in a while I get excited when a concept makes sense through this veil of mine.

…And great advice it is. Sometimes we just need the perspective of someone on the outside of the box, to help us see that it will change, and set us back on course.

The veil is tricky, this is why we have teachers or those who have been there before.
