I recently realized I am not of the purely science or purely faith parties. What I seek is the party of wisdom. I vote for wisdom. I want my insight to go beyond contemporary agreements. Let us look through the lens of maturity. Can we go deeper than fierce loyalties toward perceived data within passing understandings.
Sometimes you have to call on your higher power. Most people don’t ask this of us. Not our higher self, it’s usually asking a greater being outside of ourselves. Lately, I feel I need to check in with my inner goddess, and the only reason is because someone asked me to who was leading me in a loving/kindness meditation.
I am barely past an amoeba, single-celled organism, how can I embody the consciousness of a goddess? How dare I? Is it blasphemy? An act of egomania? I did it anyway and after 1-2 minutes of feeling divine, I enjoyed it. To temporarily embrace this state is not to have power, it’s to step into an elevated consciousness.
Allowing for small or large transition is crucial.
I recently completed an application for a professional organization. It was much more complicated than you’d expect. I thought submitting a poem for a poem contest was rigorous. This was much worse. To endure this process, I had to take a break to call God, smoke imaginary cigarettes, meditate, walk the dog… I was one step away from calling Russia for help. With humor breaks, I wrapped it up.
A friend just closed up her life chapter in Eugene and moved to Norway, where she is originally from. Once the decision was made, things fell into place. Plus, she is incredibly organized. I met up with her while she was in the midst of the change-over. She had just sold her house and car and packed up most of her things to ride in a boat to Norway. How does it feel, I asked? “It feels great!” She said, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Walking through the parking lot toward her car on the last day of work, she said, “I felt sad. Until I got to my car.” She had a few more days in her house before her flight. She noticed the feeling of expanse, openness. “There is nothing in the way now!” She appeared lighter, nearly bouncing off of the pavement where she walked.
