The Most Comforting Pillow

Here’s a story I was inspired to write earlier this year! I just had the inspiration to share it with you today!

The Most Comforting Pillow

This morning I woke up and was contemplating my Mother’s view on reality. A lesson that she is determined to teach me at all costs is that ‘bad’ people are out there. I’ve been studying spirituality for years and
I keep coming across the concept that there is no good or bad everything just ‘is’ or my favourite Buddhist concept which is everything is how you view it. Taking on the responsibility of how you view things can feel massive at first, but ultimately it is the way to true happiness.

So I am lying in bed on my feather mattress with my head on my feather pillow and I am thinking if there are ‘bad’ people in the world what percentage of people are ‘bad’. I’m going on an Abraham cruise in a couple of months and I thought I could ask Abraham. (www.abraham-hicks.com ) Now I am truly blessed with the ability to channel Source Energy myself. Credence is the name I was given for those who asked what to call that energy. There are times when I relax enough myself that the energy flows over and through me and answers my questions, this morning was just such a time.

I was shown an image of being in bed when I lived in Alabama and feeling a pricking feather. I just breathed and let the image unfold.

I used to have a problem with feathers poking me from my feather pillows. I preferred feather pillows as they have always represented luxury and comfort. I loved being able to mold them into the perfect shape. The only trouble was I kept getting poked.

I still remember the first time my pillow was anything but comfort. I felt a sharpness that even produced a tiny scratch. My mind reeled attempting to understand what had taken place. I thought perhaps a needle had found it’s way into my pillow or at the very least some sort of metal. It took me a while to find the intruding pain giver and then some time to worry it out a bit more.

I pulled on it gently until a soft fluffy feather was revealed. And I thought this can’t be right. I tried every which way to scratch myself with that feather to no avail. It seemed that once I had examined it and came to the conclusion that it was a fine specimen of soft feather I could no longer get it to act like a needle.

For a while I kept having the same experience with protruding feather quills that felt like needles until I pulled them out and found them to be soft and bendy little feathers. Then one day I thought about all the feathers that I was pulling out of my pillow. At the rate I was going I wouldn’t have a pillow any more. So every time I was poked or pricked I would take the time to push it back into the pillow and then I would move the feathers around so that it would get lost amongst all the others.
After a while there were no more incidents of pricking feathers and I only remembered that brief period of my life this morning.

The answer I received from Credence this morning is that I can notice one ‘bad’ feather in the crowd of all the good feathers and pluck it out and keep doing that with each naughty, painful or disruptive feather and end up with no comfort or I can blend it in with all the others and focus on the divine comfort of the whole and soon my focus, my reality will be on the benefits of my pillow and ultimately there will not be repeated incidents of irritating or painful quills that turn soft when you pull them out of their environment.

When you go out into the world and get irritated by someone or something remember that in a certain light if you were to examine that person or thing you would find that they are just a part of this Divine experience and their role is essential to the Universe.

You are loved more than you know. Today let that love flow over you and into you and to keep coming in gentle waves to ease your worries and bring you comfort and joy.
