Enlightenment...


As I was driving, something with the lyric “You're dangerous 'cause you're honest…” from U2 spoke to me.  Lately, over the course of this week, I have been questioning myself over the fact that I walk a much different path than most are willing to take. I don’t see things like what the average human sees; I see the light at a much higher level. I have a greater purpose here than most aren't willing to see. I have taken some seriously great risks that most won’t do and can proudly say that I have been on all seven of the continents with a glowing smile. I really walk the path of being the teacher, but my teaching tends to be from my own personal experiences, not the illusion of the mind what others want you to live from. I’ve seen great similarities between why I went to Japan and South Africa as well. I really miss the work that I did in both places and to wake up that I have a greater purpose to live for the day rather than the boring same old same old that I tend to do back in my hometown. I must remind myself constantly to step into my own power to truly shine and to seek out the areas within myself that needs some fine tuning.

“Bared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the cost
Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain
Tell me why must I always explain”
~Van Morrison

Honestly, I’ve been balling my eyes out cos I miss my adventurous self, the one who isn’t afraid to sleep under a swag out in Uluru, the one who will be loud with an elephant encounter that was right up close to me or to state in my own crazy way how beautiful the African sunrise was one morning, wandering around the Higashiyama District of Kyoto, screaming on top of my lungs kissing a gray whale some where in Baja or watching the glacier cave in Tracy Arm to name a few of my joyful moments. Then there’s been this other part of me that is still looking for the answers that I so am ready to seek out to move ahead on this path.

“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”
~Max Ehrmann

I have enlisted the help of the trusted and wisest of my inner circle for the help as well, some I do know will be more worried about me than actually mad at me. I need to be honest with them or else I can’t be honest with myself. I’m placing great trust into the unknown that the universe is working everything out in its own divine timing.  I can’t force anything nor do I have to explain it to the ones that won’t get it when I do know that they won’t. It’s all about reprogramming the subconscious minds to get to that place deep within of the true self of stillness, clarity, peace, beauty, abundance, joy and happiness. Life is more about living the moments with ease, not if I had the better hand dealt to me. It’s stepping into the power of oneness and shining that light bright from within then for it to radiate onto all.

“Every second, every minute
It keeps changing to something different
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Enlightenment, don't know what it is
It says it's non attachment
Non attachment. non attachment”
~Van Morrison
