Special days are ‘made-up’ lines in the sand that offer opportunities to ‘start again’. They are windows of ‘hope’ that can uplift worn out and worn-down attitudes. They are mental ‘tricks’ used to stimulate creativity and inspire new growth.
The mind is a ‘dream creator’, inventing endless ways and means to keep you focused ‘on’ dreaming with your attention focused ‘out there’ for answers to limitless questions about ‘how’ life should be lived for maximum success and enjoyment. But always, the new dreams … at best, are temporary distractions from the gnawing question: “there must be a better way”.
Eventually that repetitive phrase must be faced with the request; “show me”. It matters not that the source of the answer may not be known, if the request is sincere, the answers WILL unfold in perfect ‘way(s)’ that eventually bring you HOME to the Truth. And ‘what’ is the Truth?
Many have proclaimed they know IT, but Truth is infinite-boundless and cannot be circumscribed in definitions. The Truth can only be experienced and that experience arises from the ‘inner direction’ you have requested – perfectly orchestrated and precisely sculpted ‘out of’ the conditioning parameters of your unique dream.
These last 6+ years have greatly intensified the possibility of requesting that sincere question that will bring about genuine direction ‘to’ Truth and ‘if’ you ‘embrace’ the NEW direction rather than a line in the sand date, clarity will expand and you WILL KNOW – ‘where to go, what to do, what to say and to whom’ in each moment that is perfect for you … and that direction WILL bring you HOME to Truth and the Freedom you ARE.
