A friend asked me how I possibly can keep writing every day. The obvious reason is that I’m being guided. But there are other reasons as well.
I’ll share with you what Michael has said about it provided you promise me you’ll hear it as being said to all lightworkers at this time. Promise? OK.
“Now our agreement has been that you are a co-contributor, that I am a co-contributor to the writing.” (1)
“I have and will inspire and overlight you when the time is right for these messages to be conveyed. … We are together, dear brother – do not for a moment forget this.” (2)
“I am never far away.” (3)
“Sometimes I am typing, sometimes I am moving your pen, always I am whispering in your ear.” (4)
“My overlighting you is very strong and I would like to think perfect. And of course it is perfect.” (5)
They discuss it with me because they know I’ll write about it. But, I assert, this same overlighting and guidance is available to everyone who wishes it.
Well, that’s the major factor. But there’s another factor and that’s an influential lesson from “growth work.”
The Growth Movement thrived in the mid and late Seventies (6) and saw circuit riders (itinerant workshop leaders) follow a route that included Esalen, Cold Mountain Institute and other growth centers. They offered five-day workshops in awareness, self-responsibility, communication, etc.
What I learned there has stayed with me all my life. The teaching that’s relevant here is the encouragement to “push my edge.”
What does that mean? It means that, all other factors being equal, in any one situation of communication, to prefer to risk rather than remain safe; without being oppressive, to go the extra distance in voluntarily revealing oneself and making oneself known; and to remove rather than erect barriers to love and awareness, responsibility and communication.
We could, in an encounter group, play safe and excuse, justify, and deny. Or we could call ourselves on our own numbers and be transparent. The encouragement was to push our edge and be transparent.
That now makes two agreements that I make with myself: on the awareness path, I agree to remain self-aware and on the growth path, I agree to push my edge.
Add to all this the fact that I love to write the same way, say, Mozart probably loved to compose or Picasso loved to paint.
All of this goes a long way to describing where I get my inspiration from and why I love to write every day.
