I wanted to be here.
I wanted an experience.
I’m here and I’m having it.
I like parts of it.
I don’t like others.
Without the parts I don’t like
how would I know
I like the parts I do?
Images of experiences I want
flow in and out
of my consciousness.
And why not?
I am here to experience.
Why not listen
to the desires
of my heart?
Why have this
deep
inner
voice
whispering,
calling,
if it
should
never
be
heard?
but only ignored
or worse, managed
or worst, silenced!
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a recurring dream, a recurring vision, a recurring and deeply felt desire, for over 40 years, and possibly much longer.
It is my impossible dream,
to dream.
I can dig it——you are living your story, just as I am living mine.
Some seem to have the impression it's only the good stuff that the universe has willed, and our purpose in life is happiness, and to be the best we can be. And that's a purpose worth pursuing, but what if the best isn't viewed as favorable via judgment does that render them bad unable to make the cut ? Umm, well, that's not what I'm thinking.
And don't get me wrong when it comes to the bad guys or those making a general mess of things—I can, being all too human, be as judgmental as anyone, but I'm working on. Because I truly believe whatever state we happen to be in, we're each and every one at that precise moment peddling as fast as we can, as odd as it might sound [in some circumstances] we are being the best we can be.
And it's ok if others see it different or believe different than I do, because how they think is how they are suppose to believe, we've got room for everyone on this Ship of
Thank you Sherri. A previous comment of yours inspired my words.
I do believe that each person's take on things is what it is, no judgment needed. And I enjoy hearing differing viewpoints, because mine is always evolving. At the same time, it's so nice when someone can relate to what I'm saying and where I am in this mysterious and cosmic adventure/journey/play/ride/infinite I am-ness.
And it's so nice to read your words. A wave of calm flowed over me as I did. I also think we are on the same page, and the same book, as you've said. Although, it's funny. I read Conversations with God years ago and liked it but got away from it. Then just last year I started reading Deepak's books, starting with Life After Death. And it was like everything inside me just expanded. I read several more of his books, helped start a discussion group based on his books, really dove in because his words just resonated with me like crazy.
Then I started noticing judgments in his blogs, interviews and responses to people's questions. There is still so much of what he says that rings true for me, but this part didn't sit well with me.
Then I signed up to receive via email daily inspirational messages from New Spirituality Network. Quite a few of them were from Conversations with God, and they took on a whole new meaning for me. I also enjoy Rasha who wrote "Oneness" and "The Calling". I haven't read all of these 2 books but have read exerpts from them. I'm enjoying her ideas right now.
But being in the moment, really being here right now, has been my biggest teacher. And I do want to thank Deepak for inspiring me to do that. All of it is, right now, and you are it, he is it, she is it, I am it.
Anyway, I really dig that you can dig it.
