I know, I know, two posts in one day!
I just had to get ‘up to date’ with my readings of Mark Napo’s book, “The Book of Awakening”. http://amzn.to/awakn2012 (My perfectionism hard at work) I promise, this one will be much shorter than the first.
Reading today’s entry about ‘unlearning back to God’ was a pleasing experience for me. Napo writes about the film or layers we build up as we live our human lives and move further away from that deep deep connection within. (My interpretation) Although I have felt completely disconnected and angry with God, I had no trouble finding my way back to that soul-filled place deep inside me. That place where no matter how angry or resentful we get, we are always loved, accepted and welcomed back with loving, open arms. That truly unconditional place.
The guidance at the end of this chapter invites the reader to bring to mind two things that you love doing and to meditate on what it is about these two things that brings you alive. My two things came to me instantly – working with an ideal client and being with my husband. The thing that brings me alive doing both of these things is in the witnessing I am honored to experience doing both.
If you’ve seen the movie Avatar, you’ll remember Neytiri telling Jake, “I see you”. It’s like that. REALLY seeing someone for who they are and witnessing their spirit. It’s in moments like that when the layers of my human-ness are pulled back, my insecurities, my not-enoughness, my doubts and fears, they all disappear and my full spirituality is revealed. For me, this is unlearning my way back to God.
What’s it like for you?
