Life as a Gymnasium

No experience should be wasted.

Even when I drop a brick on my own foot, it shouldn’t be wasted.

Apart from my egregious misappraisal of the man I heard speaking [Lindsay Graham], I did get to watch myself in the situation that resulted.

Years ago I would have dropped through the floor. For months afterwards I’d cringe at the memory.

But, after Xenia, I never ceased to smile through the whole discussion. I was happy.

This has never happened to me before: Happiness and I did not travel together. But now we do.

It seems to have something to do with having the connective passageway between me and whatever that was (the Self, a Light) cleared out. There’s a more direct connection between the everyday me and it through the emotions.

None of this comes with a manual. The Self did not introduce itself to me and leave its business card. It did not say, “Now I’m going to operate in this way. Watch for me here.” I have to figure it all out.

I gave the example earlier of happiness – an unheard of state for me, the Grinch. That was the Self communicating through the emotions, I think.

One of the things I’ve distinguished out in myself is a new sense of confidence. As it turns out, I’m not a slimeball fatherhater deep down. I’m as innocent as the driven snow.

That does provide a firm foundation, not for arrogance which is like a toxic fume to a deeper level of consciousness, but for confidence based on knowing who we are – that innocence, purity, and naturalness. And gentleness. And evidently happiness.

Shankara really described how it’s become for me since that experience:

“Once we become conscious, even dimly, of the Atman [the Self], the Reality within us, the world takes on a very different aspect. It is no longer a court of justice but a kind of gymnasium.” (1)

Yes, life has become a gymnasium for me now, rather than a court of justice. I swing on the rings.

The connection with my Self has also created a rise in my emotional floor. I don’t go below that floor any longer and its level has risen.

I don’t get dismayed these days.  A feeling will come along that used to drag me down and it can’t find a foothold. These are residual gifts of that sight of the Self at Xenia.

But one has to discover what has changed and only on discovering it can we really access it; otherwise it lies hidden, latent.

Imagine having your wiring rearranged by some of the deeper experiences and being left without a handbook on your New You. That may face the ascended ones.

Back to politics. The thing I found most reassuring and delightful was the caliber of your speaking. No one was rude. Almost no one pointed the finger. I’m not nursing any wounds. I hope you’re not.

I learned your feelings about various aspects of politics, heard how deep the subject runs for you, and discovered that I had no commitment to look into the political scene in any depth.  Having seen that, at last I feel able to detach myself from politics.

It was nice to e-meet you all. I enjoyed our discussion. I feel very hopeful about lightworker collaboration in the future as a result of it.

All for the price of a brick.

Jesus: You are Bringing to Light What Needs to be Revealed

 When you see the shadow, it defines the light.  (Jesus through Linda Dillon, Heart Call, Sept. 19, 2020.)

“Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion, that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not burden, fault, praise, blame, credit, shame or guilt. In responsibility, there is no….”  (Read more…)
