Mental and Spiritual Adventures

Ok what have I been doing? As you know, I have been "parked" at an RV park in Plymouth, CA, since October 29. This is only 45 minutes from my grand babies, who have since become little people (one is 4 now, the other 6 already!). Yes, I get to see them often and was even the picker-upper from school one day this week!

So what else am I doing? The Spiritual Awakening! This is one of the major forces behind quitting my job and hitting the road. I was a machine - too much time devoted to the almighty dollar and the crass corporate "performance" plan. There was no time to actually pray, BE, think or prepare for a higher power influenced future. Of course, that is the goal of corporations these days, overpowering control of the minions who believe the dangling carrot is real so they will not leave, will not explore their true calling and will not say "no" to the foolish demands that result in nothing good for the clients, the customers or the economy. (my blog so my opinions are all valid!!)

To assist with this awakening, transformation into a higher energy (we are all just atoms and mass, you know), I have purchased many books, attended meetup meetings, visited the library and a support group for Adult Children of Alcoholic/Dysfunctional Families. Oh, and I am writing a book about the entire experience, to include portions of my life story!

And what has this researcher discovered so far? The published works, videos, therapy sessions and spiritual advisors and healers all have one common core running through their work. We human beings are not to cause HARM along our journey while on this planet. If we knowingly or unintentionally cause harm to others, born or unborn, we are to ask forgiveness and to forgive ourselves. We may not be able to physically address another human for reasons of our or their safety, but we can write a letter, stick it in a jar, and ask to be forgiven.

While laying on a massage table, smelling "forgiving" oils, being stretched and directed into breathing and releasing exercises and twisted body parts, the blocks of energy just started popping loose and left my body. I had been holding on to grief, shame, pain, mental anguish for a number of years that was blocking the real me from joyfully thriving and enjoying this life. Why? Many of you know my rose-colored glasses were shattered with my second marriage. Since then, and perhaps before, I have just been trying to out-run the lessons that God and the Universe has been trying to teach me.

The lesson? I am not in control, but I do have choices and some of my previous choices were not accurate because the input was not truthful. Releasing the responsibility for other's manipulations and my gullibility has been amazingly exciting. Seems so simple to you? For reasons you will see in my book, some of us have to work much harder at Discernment in order to see the undistorted truth, and aim higher to stay with that truth. So working hard on myself, my perspectives, my beliefs, my place is all I am doing these days - and I love it!
