| The Mystery within... |
This past Saturday I took some time to go and listen to
Blair Lewis read from his upcoming audio book to be released sometime
this fall titled, “Alive
and Healthy -- Shortcuts to the Soul.”
I was curious about the shortcuts part and I am still uncertain if they
exist. My path to the soul has
been through suffering in the loss of my husband and son to suicide, in my
struggle to find my voice and self-worth in caring for my aging parents, and
other traumas. I have come to know
accepting my suffering is the straightest path to the Inner Light within that
cares for me. But it can be a
fleeting awareness and hard to hang onto.
Blair
reminded me the removal of fear is a key spiritual act. It is how I came to know and trust my
Inner Light. He also stated our
mind is very high maintenance. Thoughts
are changeable and can often take us where we don’t want to go; and our
feelings can sometimes be fickle.
So his antidote for the interfering mind and feelings is to stay in the
Now. He said there are only two
time zones--the Now and the not now.
So
I shall work to stay in the Now to short-circuit my fears surrounding my
upcoming knee replacement. I know
I am much more than my mind, thoughts and feelings. I will accept what doesn’t get done before my surgery, and
accept what follows, including the pain. I have had numerous opportunities in my life to know
accepting whatever is, especially the pain, is the straightest path to the
Light within.
