I would think that just like you, I have been on a "Spiritual path" for many years. I was pulled by this from the age of around 5. This path has included many, many philosophies, practices and ideas. From Shakespeare to A Course in Miracles and from Psychic perception to Angelic encounters and MUCH more in between, all of these have somehow brought on something utterly new, yet glaringly familiar. I have loved and value each and every step along the path, but along the way I have noticed that SOMETHING ELSE was always being pointed to...
Throughout all my study and teaching, I always had a niggling feeling that there was something else going on, but as they say we can become our own worst enemy and not able to "see" it.
For me, my spiritual life was the most important thing in my life. I knew that it was the key to something, but truly I didn't ever really know what that something was...
Was it peace?
Was it happiness?
Was it success?
Was it me?
Was it Truth?
Starting in about 2017 something began to shift. I saw/felt it within me and I began to see it so clearly with those who I worked with. This process can be difficult to put into words, but I will try by sharing a few pointers...
I began to see the truth about how EVERYTHING was truly A STORY; the past, the future, even to a certain extent the present moment, our fears, our aspirations, our difficulties, our joys, our struggles, our successes, our EVERYTHING is a STORY. And that ALL these stories are based on the MEANINGS we are giving to them...and ALL MEANING is RELATIVE.
I began to see the truth of STOPPING THE SEARCH and ALL that entailed.
I began to see how I and everyone else, were just our own little universes, doing our best to RUN A RACE that was utterly FALSE.
I began to see clearly how everything was based on SEPARATION. Separation from others, separation from the world, separation from ourselves and most importantly separation from LIFE itself.
I began to see CLEARLY that the common thread was the CHARACTER, or as I call it now THE SEPERATED SELF.
Of course, from my more than 45 years of studying, practicing and guiding others, I UNDERSTOOD all this before, but what began to happen was far different than understanding or "getting it" any longer. It was almost as if the "I" stepped away and EVERYTHING changed, yet NOTHING changed at all.
What was/is different than trying to get it or trying to consciously remove the "I", it just started happening...
It's as if the CHARCTER that I have played is just melting away and in that has come something that I can't explain, but I will say it fills me with great incredulousness which brings total freedom and joy...
Now, that this is all happening it's as if I can't NOT see it anymore...
I'm really not sure how to label this, but a while ago I stumbled upon a term that seems to be the closest: Non-Duality. But, strangely enough, I can even feel that that is just another label that can't come close to what I am communicating here, but for now I will just use that because it seems to be the easiest way to communicate this.
Now, everything that I facilitate can't NOT include this. How I facilitate A Course in Miracles groups to my LIVE streams and YouTube videos, they all have an element of this now, because I can't NOT include this.
As it turns out, I had stumbled on a YouTube video of an awesome Irish man facilitating a group conversation about "Non-Duality". It was like coming home! I, of course had heard of "non-duality" and knew what it was...or so I thought! As I watched, he was articulating almost everything that I was experiencing.
Something appeared to happen that I would do something similar. So, I started facilitating these types of gatherings myself, that are open to everyone. These gatherings are about once a month.
If you'd like to join us at these gatherings, just make sure you are on my mailing list and we will send the link to you.
