“Finding oneself and one’s path is like waking up on a foggy day. Be patient, and presently the fog will clear and that which has always been there can be seen. The path is already there to follow”
― Rasheed Ogunlaru, Soul Trader: Putting the Heart Back into Your Business
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it, Do not believe simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is written in the Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders , or wise men. Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason, and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all. Then accept it and live up to it.”
Buddha
There comes a time, in everyone’s life, when the questions far outweigh the answers. This is the time when we need to look to other than the traditional fields for our answers. In many cases it may be that the answer lies in the most unimaginable places, within ourselves. Even then, they may be found not in our logical and rational mind.
We reach a time when we have to relinquish the hold on all that is safe and known and take a leap into the great unknown in search of these answers. It is only the “great unknown” because we have turned our back on the unknown, the vastness of our existence for all that is safe and comfortable. It may be we have no wish to stretch our minds into areas we are unfamiliar with.
Yet, it is within these unfamiliar landscapes that our minds and hearts open. Our souls flower and the heady scent we perceive is the beauty and grandeur of our Spiritual legacy. It is the place where colours have a more vibrant hue, the scents have a more delightful aroma and the images we see are not only more ‘fantastical’ they are also more familiar than anything we may dream in our everyday lives.
What has happened is that our incredible minds have opened to wonders we once had and which we have forgotten but are now returning. If we are open to the idea that we can be more than we are now, we can be all that it is possible for us to be. We can become limitless instead of limited!
Within the limitless abilities we can find are the abilities to cure the ills of the world, if we are willing to accept them. These are strange ideas but ones I feel comfortable and happy to accept as my birthright as a Spirit living in a physical body. The ills we are plagued with are manifestations within the physical body. Therefore, accepting and learning to use the abilities given on the Spiritual plane, we are able to ‘cure’ or eradicate these ailments, if our Spirit and purpose are in alignment.
These may be strange thoughts, alien thoughts, but I hope they may resonate within you. I hope that they may find a home in your consciousness and allow us all to move forward, enlightened and lightened of the heaviness of this physical plane.

This has great timing Susan. I have been so focused on my spiritual journey that I was beginning to forget about me! 🙂 Yes, I still have a body that needs so many things on this plane of existence, and until I give it the attention it deserves, my life will be lopsided. Yes, spirit has urged me to produce a book on my understandings but not at the expense of actually living my life or having balance in what I do. I thank you for the wake up call. Have a lovely spiritual/physical day 🙂 Namaste

I’m not sure if it’s my inner survival instincts, the natural/innate human instinct to survive, or just plain stubbornness on my part but this post resonates with my. In my darkest hours I have always believed there will be a way forward, that my spirit will search out a solution, a path, a friend or whatever it is that I need to take another step to get through my challenge.
On the flip side, I guess that if this wasn’t the case, the spirit and therefore the person would not see a way forward and may give up hoping and trying… I have never known that experience. I hope I never do.
I understand that some folks do feel this way because they have been battling their challenges for what seems an interminable time and they really do not have evidence of the way forward for them, at that time.
But dawn breaks quickly and a brilliant morning can follow the darkest night. In the blackest time of the night there is no evidence of the coming dawn. This is what I remind myself, and the dawn does come… The sun does rise.
The world is changing at an increasing rapid rate and problems of yesterday are solved with technology and ideas of today that were unknown yesterday. It can all change so damn fast! Yesterday’s problems and challenges can be a routine fix in the days to come – in so many cases it has been this way and will be for many more of our unsolveable problems, incurable illnesses and life’s challenges. So I believe, and so my spirit keeps searching for me. For us.
Brilliant and powerful post Susan… You continue to amaze me….

I LOVE the first photo. Awesome. I can so relate to this post as this is what I am going thru now. Which way now? I keep asking for guidance. I know practicing Reiki is part of my path, but I feel there is much much more. 🙂
