“Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
—Rumi
These barriers to which Rumi refers are numerous. Going through life unaware of these barriers is like driving an expensive sports car along a steep mountain road wearing blindfolds, not just one, but many.

As I was awakening one morning, still in the in-between state of not really being awake or asleep, I realized that my life has been an adventure in “experiencing”. There are more than a few teachers, gurus, and scientists who think that experiencing is consciousness. That’s a pretty interesting concept in itself. Yes, my life is about my experiences in this human state of consciousness.

I often get new insights on life by listening to NDE interviews. I found the following two lessons gave a valuable perspective.
Lesson One
After the lady left her body and was met by her spiritual guide, the guide had her go through hundreds of moments of her current life, but with a twist from the usual life review.

“In Lak’ech Ala K’in,” often shortened to “In Lak’ech,” is a greeting derived from the Mayan philosophy of unity and the interconnectedness of all things. The phrase translates to “I am you, and you are me,” or “You are a reflection of myself.” Often the right hand is placed over the heart at this exchange.

The seasons of my life were passing quickly and I found myself late in fall. Days, like leaves blown from their tree, let go and followed the wind as it gusted and swirled into the future. Gone was the healthy image I had embodied, and the robust outdoorsman I once was had become a shadow of the past.
In the present moment, I had become a well-grayed senior with an unsteady gait, rambling along. Even the cool morning air seemed different now. As I scanned the surroundings, I noticed that things were changing fast.

The story behind this entry goes back to 1985 when I was living on Orcas Island in Washington State. I had the honor of meeting and talking with Richard Bach, author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Our conversation centered around my desire to become a published author and his devastating experiences with literary agents. His famous book was also rejected by eighteen publishers before being accepted.

Here’s to another lovely Sunday…Light rain graced the garden yesterday. This morning, I spent a little time with Apollo in the garden moving the little sign, “RELAX, LAUGH, REPEAT” near the blue pagoda. Of course, Apollo posed! He “KNOWS” he’s one ‘photogenic dude.’ (Feature photo)

As I was waking up the other day, the word “Walmart,” came to me. OK, I thought. I have nothing to lose. I will go to Walmart. Another word that had come to me the previous morning was, “Volunteer.”
I got in the car and headed over to Walmart. Timing is everything when I am on a mission, and I can’t mentally figure that out, so I just go about my day with Divine expectation.

In the past, I didn’t always keep my attention on breathing in God’s Love and consciously living each moment in the Light and Sound of God. This story is about an intense waking dream experience that was given to me for my spiritual growth.
Ten years ago, my husband, Bill, and I went scuba diving off the shore of the island of Curaçao. During one of the dives, I got in trouble because I forgot to sing HU (an ancient name for God) and keep my attention focused on Divine Spirit and on God’s Love. I totally lost control of my mind!
