Life’s Lessons

Well, Thanksgiving is over and it’s Saturday. A quiet morning, after breakfast, and the perfect time to reflect on the last couple of months. My blog postings have subsided, mostly because I have been so busy learning life’s lessons. I wanted to note those lessons, before they become a distant memory, or more accurately, before I forget (and doomed to repeat those lessons).

It seems that each week or two, I have been taught lessons on a specific ‘topic’ by the Spirit. The first week, I began to see that every negative thought and action that was directed at others, was an attack on myself. Especially important, was how I reacted to attacks towards me. It’s amazing how a loving response can diffuse an ugly situation! And there were lessons even when I didn’t react appropriately. We learn what works!

The next week was on possession. I began to see that possession could be something other than a spirit possessing a person. Other people’s thoughts could possess my mind. When I altered my own thoughts or actions, because of what others thought, I had become possessed. I no longer controled my own thoughts! This was an interesting insight, that lead me to better understanding of controlling my thoughts and realizing that my thoughts are not me! My spirit is changeless.

The next week, the topic was forgiveness. If you have been reading my blog, you know that I study “A Course in Miracles” and have combined it with my shamanic practice. I find that the two are very similar in the how the healing process works. Forgiveness is about releasing the past and realizing that it never existed. So, I let go of any grievances, I still carried. It was a time for crying, laughing and coming into the present in a way that was not possible before. I let go!

I am now in the middle of trying to understand about mankind’s wholeness. Where this leads is yet unknown. The Spirit leads my way, one foot in front of the other.

Have a great holiday weekend.
Blessed journeys!
