This is following up somewhat on yesterdays theme of not settling for less, which included not settling for a lesser god. I have literally spent my adult lifetime trying to figure out what religion, spirituality and consciousness is all about. In order to follow the kind of path I have taken, to take up a search like this one has to make a decision to do so if they are not already inclined. For what ever reason I am one that has always wanted to know more. As I came across information that was new to me or correlated with something I already knew I would compare it to what was already there. If it made sense or was something that I felt good about it would join and add to the information I already had.
In her book, INVISIBLE ACTS OF POWER, author Caroline Myss, writes about an intuitive reading she was giving that was both unusual and very powerful for her and the recipient of the reading. “This intuitive reading had a profound effect on me.” She writes. “Along with the powerful image of the enormous spirit tree, I got the distinct sense that the universe was constructed in such a way that there is a place for each of us in it and that we are each meant to find that place as well as “become” that place. And I saw that if we do not try to find that place or purpose, we suffer emotionally and spiritually and, ultimately, physically.”
What I have learned consistently through my lifetime search is simply: There is so much more than meets the eye and everything I have encountered tells me that truth or even reaching toward that truth is so much more powerful and so much better, more awesome than anything we are being taught in our churches, our politics, our schools.
One of the ideas that I have retained from the Christian Bible is the phrase, “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”. One of the things I had to find out for myself is that most of that truth was somewhere outside of that book and that religion.
