The night Professor Dumbledore has Hagrid deliver Harry to the
Dursley’s house he explains to Professor McGonagall that it will be better for
Harry to grow up away from the world he’ll eventually—is destined—to be a full
member of.
We know that the Dursleys were aware of Harry’s specialness,
which they detested and were determined to suppress, including with various
punishments when his special abilities began to become evident or when he spoke
of dreams that contrasted with what was considered “normal” in Status Quo
Tick-Tock life.
How often we hear of people who are attuned to their
spiritual-metaphysical abilities, inherent in each of us—but denied by many who
are afraid of repercussions or punishment by the Status Quo, or were
conditioned to be afraid of these abilities or believe they’re evil—who are
born into families they feel, at times, like strangers to. It can feel very
much as though they are like Harry living with the Dursleys: they feel as
though they have little to nothing in common with their immediate or even
extended family members. If they discuss or demonstrate their
spiritual-metaphysical aspects, they are ridiculed. If they demonstrate they’re
uncomfortable in Status Quo Tick-Tock Land, they are criticized and told they
don’t have the same value as someone in SQTT Land
They may not get a letter from Hogwarts announcing that their
differences are who they are and have a purpose in their lives, but the
Universe sends its own letter-forms that indicate there is mystery and magic
(spiritual-metaphysical qualities) in the Universe—and in them. Maybe they’ll
respond to these telegrams. Maybe they won’t, if they are attached to the
opinions of others, if they crave acceptance by others more than they possess
self-acceptance and self-approval as expressions of The One Source.
If you’ve felt like Harry living with the Dursleys and haven’t
stepped away from that and into your True Self, you’re likely frustrated. Life
may seem as though it doesn’t work for you. Or maybe you’ve followed Tick-Tock
and done well but feel something is missing. What’s missing is your true, full
expression of who you really are, which means the experiences you are meant to
have and the purposes you are meant to fulfill are waiting in the wings for you
to show up. Be brave, as Harry was: show up. Let the life you were meant to
live now unfold for you. Allow your abilities and Source to lead you into your
purpose and destiny and unique contribution.
Prof. Dumbledore had also explained to Prof. McGonagall that
Harry would be better off growing up away from the knowledge of who he was and
why and how he was special, until it was time, so that it wouldn’t turn his
head. This applies to us, as well. Have you ever learned something—before
you’ve actually integrated it as your way of being—and started talking to
everyone about it, only to feel foolish later, when your lack of integration or
practice is demonstrated in your life? This type of experience is actually for
your protection, just as Harry living with the Dursleys was. Most of the time,
it is wiser to develop your personal power in silence. This cuts out the static
from others and their opinions. It also gives you the time you need to let your
inner power build until your inner knowing about this is so much your
foundation that you trust it and your self completely. You may also build your
power and use it silently within Tick-Tock, where only you or a few are aware
of the good you’re doing.
This path may be lonely initially, but you will eventually
connect with others who share your inner knowing and understanding of the juicy
mystery we are all part of.
