Getting to the core of what I really want in life has taken me on quite a ride over the past year or so. Freedom from the worlds promise and a noisy mind sent me in all different directions. Mostly with a theme of helping others find the same. There is one very big difference with what I have to give than others that have come to peace. I have no teaching really. No practice or technique. All I say is, you need a willingness in your heart and an open of mind. That is not what people want. So all of my writing has to do with insights that have come with expanding awareness. More than that is, the unique way that my process came about. It allowed me to have real clarity in how disfunction is developed. Its given me understanding that’s helpful for a clear picture, but not really for anything for direction.
My desire to write has lessened quite a bit. It’s been wonderful, and I love the ability to do it, but ultimately it really comes down to what I want. It turns out, it’s pretty simple. At my center, I just love being me and having fun. The whole idea of helping others will always be there, but not driven with writing or books. If life wants more, those doors will open. The idea of purpose is a popular theme, and for some it’s a true calling. For me, it’s just to be me. I’ve spent my life being what I was conditioned to be, and now I will be as I am. Free of any thoughts of what I need to be. Just flow with life and enjoy it. I can’t think of a better tribute to life than a heart full of appreciation and a fun loving spirit. When it comes right down to it, willingness is all that’s necessary for change. This isn’t something you can give anyone.
Who am I to say what’s better for anyone? For me, there could be nothing better. It’s taken time for me to see this path is a road less traveled. Frankly it’s easy to see why few would take this path. The cost is everything, but what’s given you is everything. This is the kind of paradox that true freedom represents. It’s a natural process that happens on a much deeper level. You can’t force it or even have conscious awareness of where you are on the journey, so you might as well relax. Ultimately your greatest contribution to our collective freedom, is your own freedom. In my mind, I’ve come to know the greatest experience possible in life. At the end of the day, I guess that’s all that really matters. What feels right in your heart, is right. My best advise is follow your heart. Do what brings you joy, what else is there? So in closing, all you need for anything, is your own permission. With an open mind, and true willingness, anything is possible…
