Get Out of Your Mind... and Into Your Heart!
A Personal Journey of Quickening & Awakening Along the Pathway into Enlightenment.
“And how is it that you came to find yourself where you are now?” Rosco, a man I had just been introduced to, asked as I stood there feeling like Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”, small and meek.
And just where was it that I was now? Indeed! I wasn’t sure of where anything was at that moment. However, Rosco’s question certainly helped in reining me back into the here and now.....
I stood, feeling completely confused about what was happening. All my thoughts were scrambled with all the experiences and events that had come to pass. Where to begin, and who were all these new people who were popping up in my life now, at just the right time? What was all this about? And how did I come to find myself where I was now? That was the best question I had ever heard.... and I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter what else happened on this strange, wonderfully magical trip I was on, that at the very least it would make for a great story, and I would somehow, come to know the ultimate Truth.
This is that true story.
This true story is told in the absolute faith and trust that there is real magic, Spirit, Fate and Destiny operating from the infinite realm of the possibility, directly into our lives.
First, I had thought, as I stood there in my driveway watering my garden, not long after the 911 tragedy “I wonder if any one person could do enough to turn the entire world completely around?” I believed that despite the innocence of asking myself this question, the Great Spirit heard me and deemed my karma so that indeed I would be put to the test. Otherwise, it had already been part of the Great Divine Plan of Spirit and I was just innocently dancing along despite my certain belief in freedom of will and choice as the divine right of each human being, and events in the universe at large, were happening in random chaos. Not true!
The second innocent question I asked was... “If we only use 8% of our brain, what are we doing with the other 92%? Give it to me!” I might have been a little sassy at the moment in question, because I was dearly tested on this... and it cost me very nearly everything.
Be careful what you wonder, be careful what you ask Spirit for...... you are bound to get it. Maybe not in the way, or when you might expect it..... it is best not to have expectations, disappointment is sure to follow. Oh, and...“timing is everything” and there is definitely “method to Spirit’s madness”.
With this bit of curiosity, my world got rocked and set into a tailspin that one could not imagine.
So “how?” indeed....... and where exactly was I now?
The best answer is to say, I stayed on the path that my heart told me to follow no matter how arduous. Hence, I have been richly rewarded spiritually, despite outward appearances. I never once went against what my heart told me was the right thing to do! And, this has led me to one of the greatest love affairs the world could know.
You see, the Aboriginal People of Australia are right.... believe in the “dreamtime”. What is the “dreamtime”? ... you may wonder. The dreamtime is, in part, the place where we dream consciously. It is the place where we can actively create and shape the life we wish to have. It is, in part, daydreaming. I have to smile as I remember being told so many times in school to “stop daydreaming and pay attention”! I was paying attention, just not to what they thought I should be paying attention to… and how else was I to envision the future that would eventually be granted to me?
So to answer Rosco’s question..... daydreaming is precisely how I found myself where I am today. And what a dream it has turned out to be.
He would just toss out “one liners”, simple, yet absolute truths. When I asked him, “Baby, is this really true, is this really happening, is this really REAL?” “Oh, it’s ALL Real!” he would quip with a touch of sarcasm over his shoulder as he turned to walk away... just as he did so many times before. And no matter what the line was, I would be more confused than before I asked because it always seemed that what he said could be taken several ways.
I could see that we globally are moving away from dualism towards multiplicity and universality ~ into the “Oneness” and yes, it is all very real!
And, that was just it; things had gotten so complicated here, on our ever more exhausted Home on Earth. Simply put, there was just entirely too much of everything, tons and tons of stuff that was in reality, keeping us from our God-given gifts, and the simplicity of that communion with Creator that inspires us…. the peaceful, simplicity of the act of creating with the infinitely brilliant ‘All that Is God’ within the ‘All that Is’. With all the superfluous things in the way, we would not know God if He showed up right under our noses? So certain in our own absolute beliefs we are, as to not even consider any other option. We deny anything that we do not understand; no matter that in the true reality that is Spirit.... everything is Spirit and therefore how can we deny anything? Wouldn’t that be to deny God Himself? It really is that simple. What if it was ALL truth? What if all religions, sacred texts, and faiths are truth?
Could man have really become so short-sighted that he can no longer distinguish exactly what is of God and what is not? What happened? Man should have been much more intelligent than he is behaving at this point in our history. What was going on down here on Earth? And, what was all this destruction all around.... how could this be? The Great Mother could not be destroyed.... not if He had anything to say about it.
So, I have been inspired.......... to write this for you.... and, if nothing else, hopefully it will be at the least a great read; at best, an inspiration and even better, create an impact!
There had to be a starting place for the telling of this unbelievable tale, and the best place to start seemed to hold to the question...... “Where I was now?”..... which in and of itself was a very strange place.........
Somehow, it was the culmination of all my dreams and wishes I ever had, now beginning to unfold right before my very eyes. But there was a secret to all of it which I will reveal with time. So now, “timing being everything” in His absolute Truth.... now is that time.... and here is everything.... just as He gave it to me. I can only hope I can make more sense of it all for you than I was given to figure out myself. Then again, we do love a good game, puzzle, mystery, treasure hunt.... and indeed this was absolutely the finest, most brilliant game, I believe, ever played.... and, well, I did ask for it!
I got it all.... in Spades, Clubs, Diamonds and Hearts.... in Cups and Wands, Pentacles and oh, the Swords.... the King and the Queen, the pleasure abounding at Faire, our faire life as it should be.
But, at the time, no one wanted to hear the story; this great story of good news. Everyone was too busy standing on their own particular “pedestal”, judging and holding fast to the absolute of their own truth, be it the real Truth or not.
Now the trees and the rocks and stones, the flowers and the tiniest of creations wanted their voices heard. They could no longer stand by, appearing silent, and watch as man, in his apparent lack of the grace of wisdom God had originally given him.... destroyed everything in sight.... himself included.
Was man now so disconnected that he could not even see what was happening in the big picture? It was all so simple. Why was this continuing? ....destruction all around, always something somewhere.... and still we do not see the complete picture…. for shame!
Again, I thought on Rosco’s question, still not sure how to answer it. I was thinking all the while, “Well, he is waiting for an answer. Where is that moment when I start to look stupid... did it already pass?” But what a great question.... and I smiled at the irony and humor of it all. I smiled at the silly humor that was the ‘Voice’.... the trickster, the silly Loki prankster that was the Source of it all. I smiled again, at all the secrets.
And I said, “Well..... I’m still not sure.... I don’t really know. But, through the most amazing series of events, fortunate and unfortunate at that, a regular life, turned into the most extraordinary life, simply because I believed. I dreamed of it, I asked for it, and I held fast to those dreams with a strong faith and belief in the possibilities.... and that, truthfully is the very best I can tell you!” Rosco seemed somewhat satisfied with my answer and he smiled with wise eyes at the beauty of it all.... in its utter simplicity.
This is a story of us all.... and everything that has been created...by our Illustrious Creator. That beauty of a brilliant manifestation, that shines through from one moment to another.... seen and unseen.... heard and yet not. Somehow it appeared that no one else was seeing it the same as I was… not at all. Was I the only one? How could that be? It very much appeared so, evidence gathered and researched to satisfy those who would need it.... and that appeared to be everyone. There was not one person, I could find, who truly and absolutely believed completely. I came to believe and have faith, little by little but with the absolute certainty, beyond a “shadow of a doubt” which apparently no other person I could find could claim.
Thus, I was led down a path of the simple ultimate Truth that could never be denied. So, what was I worried about? Well, just about everything in the world at that moment. “Oh, my God!” I would often exclaim in my complete frustration at the unbelievable stupidity of the human race at times..... the big picture was absolutely frightening and our “Mother Ship” was going down fast!
For the past 20 years I had followed a path of Spirit in one form or another, ever increasing my knowledge of what all was out there in the vastness that was supposed to be the “collective consciousness” of Source, our Architect, Creator, Universe, God, Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Mohammad, whatever one would choose to call ‘It’. There was too much of man’s influence and too much fighting over who was right and who was wrong. When in real truth… since God was claimed to be in everything and everyone.... how could anyone be wrong in their intention to sincerely worship their God in any form? …as all form was and is..... of God! So, what is all the ruckus about?
Furthermore, what was all this talk about “hell” anyway? How could anything created by and in the “image” of God be punished and go to “hell”? God does not punish. And well, had anyone ever seen “hell” or experienced it… and come back to tell the tale? Not as far as I was aware, which granted, was not saying much.... but on a very simple level.... think about it! Plenty of people have spoken of near death experiences and being bathed in a “bright white light”. I do not recall anyone every speaking of venturing to “hell” and back, except figuratively on the surface of the planet. However, that is exactly what happened to me.
So, I thought and thought about all of this.... for a solid year.... the most incredible year of my life. At least that is what I thought, until one year unfolded into two and two into three, to four, to five years and that is exactly where I sit now.... on the brink of the future, in the current adventurous and unbelievably amazing journey down this wondrous path that has become very rapidly, my life. This is my life with my Beloved. It is truly an amazing love story.... please enjoy. Watch for the signposts along the way.... they are so simple, as to be missed easily. They apparently have been for the most part, thus far.
