It's been about 15 years since I started consciously walking my path of self-discovery and inner knowing, in between the daily interruptions of life. I can say interruptions now, but back then I didn't feel that way. Contemplating the Universe and its Creator was something I did in dark times, when I needed solace and had no company. A few times I was touched and touched God back, even being one for a time. Fleeting though it was, I could not escape the experience and have been compelled ever since to travel further on this path, finding myself where I now stand.
Where is that exactly?
In between the random posts I make here, there is a fuller picture you cannot readily perceive. I could send you a photo but you still wouldn't get it, because that encompassing image of who I am includes much more that just the visible spectrum. I'm sure you would feel the same way, especially since we all are one. What you see is just a thumbnail of what you really get.
For now let me speak of the view from where I stand, let me give you some perspective, since that is everything, always. When I started writing (this is before I started blogging) I did so to evolve, this was one of my purposes in doing so. To lift my head above the clouds and see into space. To have self-knowledge and awareness. It was a peak, a point to reach.
Within that journey I learned of course that there was no peak, and only one continuous ride. Kinda like paying once to go on the roller coaster at the fair, and never having to get off.
Along the way, amongst realisations and epiphanies that have showered upon me and within me in greater numbers than the stars in a countryside night sky, I unlocked a deeper memory. That there was no end.
Our journey is just like driving a car to a distant location at night. Perhaps it's hundred of miles away, but all you require to get there is headlights that will let you see a few hundred feet in front of you, to make it all the way there.
So too with our ongoing enlightenment, it never ends, once you know and experience what you thought you knew to be the answer, you will no sooner ask a better question from that perspective, just like the headlights and again see a little further.
Beyond this, letting go of reality while still participating in it as a productive human being, is less of a challenge each day. Seeing past the ego attachments of others, and releasing my own, is a passionate hobby of mine. I slip and fall with great regularity but less than the day before.
In between all this I recognize that the purpose I indentified years ago, is becoming reality. Benefiting others through teaching and creating a school for people like us, that exists in my mind. It is a ranch of some 100 acres with a large log built ranch house, set back in the woods, in a private quite setting.
The purpose of the school is to provide people like ourselves the opportunity to disconnect of the "real" world for a time and practice the arts and skills required to expand and maintain our inner vision without any of the outside distractions that keep holding us back from progress, from mastering the skills we need to see and live life the way we could choose if we permitted ourselves.
There are many metaphysical schools out there, you can look them up. Even metaphysical qualifications you can study for that may help your knowledge. However, my journey has always been a deeply personal one, and just like my career, is based on experience of life, not experience of books or theologies.
I believe that everyone has something to offer, a part to play in our infinite puzzle, so it should be with such a school. We are all students and teachers. Those that wish to teach what they have to offer of their mystical experience, could do so alongside a simply curriculum that anyone of any religion or creed could learn, for accessing the tools they need to create their own reality.
This is my dream. It is also the reality I create.
