RUMI

Carolyn Stonecloud-Bearde
I was born in the middle of America. My mother was of Cherokee descent and my father, a flaming Irishman. I can remember always “knowing” things, even as child. It was confusing for me, because I found that many things around me just didn’t seem to “fit”. I would frequently find myself wondering why my parents did or believed certain things.

When I was 3 1/2 years old we lived on the island of Adak for about a year and a half. At the time, Adak was a Navy island located in the Aleutian chain off the coast of Alaska. It’s truly the middle of nowhere, about 700-800 miles from the tip of Russia. It’s wet, cold, strange and mysterious and the earth quakes up to 14 times a week. Its silence is deafening. It’s a place where you can see forever. I believe that my inner soul began its journey on that island.

My early years were fraught with insecurity and wandering, trying to find the real me along with deeper more important connections that I knew had to be there. What a very long journey that has been.

Those insecure years made me search for more answers. There is an answer for everything in the Universe. It may take time to find it, but it is there.

Through study and meditation I began to realize that my inner self had been trying to break through all my life. The weird feelings, tremendous uneasiness and anxiety began to speak to me instead of torture me. The relief was immeasurable. I knew I had to find a way to take my discovery out to those who sought the relief I had found. There are so many of us out there. So I began to teach what I call an Inner Development Series. I love it. I’ve seen people grow by leaps and bounds as a result of a little bit of trust and effort.

My bottomless love of music led me to major in that subject in college. Music always has and always will nurture and feed me. I create and use tones that I feel are healing and soothing in my audio meditations. I offer the meditations as my gift here.

It took me many years to realize that I had a gift in the area of clairvoyance. It wasn’t until I was in my thirties that I began to pay particular attention to that. Even then it was a friend that clued me in to my gift.

I’ve spent the last 30 years as a professional Clairvoyant. I’ve consulted with people of all walks of life, including Doctors, Corporate Executives, Lawyers, Teachers, Film & Television Producers, Actors, Housewives and Entrepreneurs etc.

I formed a very unique group of Sensitives that work from time to time on missing children’s cases and was on the board of directors for the United Sensitives of America. But I get the most gratification teaching others to find that “thing” inside of them that knows the truth, and knows what to do in any given situation. It changes everything for them as it did for me.

For decades I was a single mother. Raising my son and daughter has been the greatest privilege of my entire life.

Later in life, I met and married the man of my dreams...my true soul mate. He was a creative genius, an Emmy winner and prolific writer and producer of some of the world’s most successful and beloved television shows.

Suddenly and unexpectedly my precious soul mate died in my arms on April 23, 2017 and my world crashed like a meteor striking earth at epic speed.

I am a spiritual seeker. My beloved Chris was a spiritual seeker. I know that the pain of losing him couldn’t be so cutting if the life we were given together hadn’t be so amazing. So I have to know how blessed I was to have him here with me. He visits me often. Our love and relationship continues.

I believe that we are all blessed with the ability to “know”. I also believe we are here to love and support one another, and to learn from one another.

My life took a very big turn when I decided to use my inner gifts publicly.

Rumi, as he is known worldwide, was a passionate and profound mystic, poet, and true lover of the Divine. His impact on those that take time to meditate on his outpouring of love is nothing less than profound.

He described the indescribable. He gave us a glimpse of a sweet but often buried memory which knows the essence of the soul, the real self that nothing outside of us can know, describe or interact with. He gave us a stunning portrayal of the only thing that is constant and never changes – Brahman, the Divine, Mother, Father, God.

Rumi was born in 1207. He wrote his master sobriquet, Mawlana/Molana (“Our Master”) consisting of over 60,000 poems and left the body in 1273.

After his death, his followers and his son founded the Mevlevi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes.

They perform the famous Sufi dance that is known as the Sama ceremony.

If you’ve ever seen the Whirling Dervishes, it’s something you won’t soon forget.  They are mesmerizing.

Rumi’s family tradition was that of Islamic preachers of the liberal Hanafi rite.

Here is a portion of a Rumi poem entitled;

Moving Water

When you do things from your soul,
                       you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

When actions come from another section,
                      the feeling disappears.

Don’t let others lead you. They may be blind or,
                      worse, vultures.

Reach for the rope of God. And what is that?
                      Putting aside self-will.

Take a few minutes now. Read the poem again. Read it slowly.  Breathe deep and easy. Close your eyes. Go deeper.

 

Reach for The Rope of God.
