Remembering
I was doing readings at the age of 16. Back then, I didn’t think twice about sitting at a table and blurting out whatever I was being given. I instinctly trusted in my spirit, and in my connection to the whole. I didn’t question this connection at all. Later, as the stressors of life took over and became the focal point of my life, I spent so much time trying to decide on my college major, getting married, job security, finding a home, and all that mundane stuff that I stopped doing readings. But the awareness never quit. I kept receiving messages, insight, dreams, and I kept a journal. As I matured and began writing, I realized that my calling was deeply rooted in a spiritual life. And I don’t mean sitting in a church listening to someone tell me everything that was wrong with me. I mean a real connection to the divine. The connection that is within all of us, and indeed IS all of us. In searching for my true, authentic self again, I longed for those carefree days when I felt that connection strongly and I trusted completely in what I was being given. I realized that the difference between then and later years was that of questioning. As I stated earlier, I didn’t question what I was receiving. I didn’t question the gift. I didn’t question the knowing. I accepted it completely, as an integral part of me, of who I was then, and am still. This is crucial knowledge for anyone seeking this spiritual walk, this journey, or whatever you want to call it. Acceptance.
When we get out into the world, we become mired in the mundane, the physical, the traumas, the triumphs, the tragedies. All of it. We race through life with our noses to the grindstone of work, family, and all else. And we forget our spirit on a regular basis. Whether most people know it or not, we crave a connection to our spirit. We crave a relationship with our soul. Our soul is the guiding force in our lives. Indeed, our soul is why we are on the earth to begin with. If the soul had not conceived it, it would not be. So, the key to finding your soul again, to reconnecting with your soul is to accept that it is there. And then accept what you receive as the voice of your soul. Let that voice guide you. Believe in that voice. You will know it when it whispers to you. Because it is you, the core of you, the authentic you.
Children and teenagers who have psychic experiences can often become afraid of those experiences. One of the biggest reasons this happens is the lack of acceptance in the community. But the maligning of psychic experience doesn’t end with children. It carries through into adulthood. This fear of being “found out,” or being dismissed and marginalized can dampen the experience, and put a lid on your authentic self. Wanting to fit in, we push this aspect of ourselves as far away as we can, until a catalyst event occurs that forces us to take another look at the spiritual and we then determine that we can, and should, reconnect with our soul.
Be you. This is all you will ever be. Get in touch with your soul. And stay in touch with your soul. It’s too rewarding to ignore. And you will be a better person for having done so.
Enjoy the path.
