Or Point of View if you will. Every once in a while I sit here in my big comfortable recliner with my laptop in my lap while I make an attempt at explaining how I see the Spiritual Life or Journey.You see it is all a matter of perspective which as a matter of fact is what life is for what ever one thinks of life is exactly what it is for THEM.
I look on the Spiritual Journey as involving every aspect of life for to me there is not a spot where Spirit is not. Every thing and every event is Spiritual from putting my socks on in the morning to making love in the evening which I believe brings us closer to Spirit than any other thing we can do up to and including prayer.
There again it is perspective and our point of view as to what anything is. My point of view is no more relevant or true than yours may be for it is merely my point of view. The only difference is I am willing to put it out before potentially millions of people to read.
I see every event as Spirit talking to me and I am making an attempt to be able when an event happens to be able to step back view it and say interesting and allowing it to stay neutral as it is with out my labeling it one thing as another. For there are only neutral events that stay that way
until someone chooses to label them this or that, right or wrong.
We have no control over the events in our lives only the way we handle them is the only control we have over anything out side of ourselves.
Control of our emotions is supposed to be in our bag of tools, however, the older I get it seems there are times my emotions are totally out of my control. I find tears coming more and more often as I witness the things that happen around me.
The odd part these tears are seldom for me as much as those around me. I have never in life felt the emotion of love so strong as I do now. When I son stood in front of me telling me that his mother was in the hospital with a possible heart attack there is no expressing the Love that I felt in my heart for her. She brought in to the world truly the only really good things that I have ever contributed to.
What makes it even more amazing is that about the time she was going through this event I was here at my computer placing her name again on my website's healing page.
Even though she has been with someone else for about fifteen years there is still a bond there.
My ever thought and prayer go out to her for her complete healing.
I know that each one of us no matter who we are or where we are in life is there because of our own thoughts, words and actions. We are actually lying in the bed of our own creation.
We and no one else write, direct and act in the movie that is our life. As Bill S. said the whole world is a stage and we are merely players on that stage.
I trust this helps some of you that a times wonder where in the world I am coming from which is total self responsibility.
In that I want all of you to know that I totally Love and Believe in each and every one of you.
Blessings,
