Loving One Another

      Love heals all wounds.  I could not hear this message for so many years.  I had to first learn to listen through the tears, the panic, the lost spaces of depression and lethargy.  The learning to listen and to finally hear through my heart was the turning point as well as the journey.  It took so long to set aside the notions that were so deeply ingrained in my mind:  the negative ideation, the self-doubt, self-recrimination and self-sabotaging patterns.  Through the process of reclaiming my God-self, my higher self, I have healed the old and embraced the newness of this joyous path.  As the scales of armor have fallen away from my battered and lonely heart, I have experienced joy beyond compare.  The peace of this place was unimaginable until I got here. 

...It is possible to attain this place of peace from wherever you are.  There is always a perfect starting place directly in front of you.  All that is needed is an honest commitment to step forward and to cross the line.  What is this line?  The line is your picture of yourself and all that is contained in that little box that surrounds you.  This little box is your world - the world according to you.  This is the totality of your experiences and what your mind has decided to make of these events, feelings, thoughts, and reactions.  It is your interpretation of your life. 

As feeling and sentient beings we each bring our very own mindsets to bear in all of our experiences.  Even siblings, born of the same parents, born into the same surroundings and the same culture, are all differnet.  Is it birth order?  Temperament?  Genetics?  Personality?  Or could it be that we each walk a path that is highly individualized, innately personal and uniquely our own?  That is the way of the soul's development.  And each soul follows its own calling, striving to find its way to the God-self within.  No one escapes the journey, although some do their best to avoid the call.  Ultimately the call "to thine own self be true" must be heeded.

      Do you ever sense that you have passed through a place or an experience before?  Does the deja vu seem eerily real?  do you have the feeling that you know far more than your real life experiences have shown you?  This is the timelessness of your soul and the nearness to God that lingers beneath the surface of your human form.  There is a depth and richness yet untapped in your life.  Now is the time to go inside and throw open the doors.  The places inside your heart are beautiful.  Yet it takes faith and trust to begin to open the doors, to walk past the fear and doubts, and to seek new levels of personal truth.
