Many of you have asked me why I wrote my book, so I thought that would be a great way to begin my first official blog to all of you!
As I mention in my book and as my many source citations reflect, I have always had a deep yearning to learn and grow. My walk throughout the pages of my book are an example of a life spent learning and growing from the words of many enlightened teachers. Over years of studying the many talented authors, teachers, and therapists, I would chip away at the patterns within myself that were unconscious and creating unhappiness in my life. With time and continued study, I began to incorporate these people’s teachings into my life. The work helped me question my old belief systems and began to break me open so that I could reach inside and continue my quest to find my true self, my whole self. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to grow throughout my lifetime from the many wise souls that I have learned from which have always had such a tremendous impact on me and my purpose to become whole.
I believe we all begin to heal once we open up doors that reveal truth and become aware. In the book Dying to be Me by Anita Moorjani and in her article from Heal Your Life called “Only a Flashlight,” she uses a metaphor to describe our limited perspectives in life. Moorjani expresses this with a metaphor in this way; picture, you’re in a huge, dark warehouse where the lights don’t work, all you have is a flashlight. You can only see where the light is shown, which doesn’t mean that nothing else exists in the warehouse. You just haven’t shown your light on it. As you move your flashlight, the light shows you how much more is there that you couldn’t see before.
That’s how consciousness works. As your awareness grows, your understanding grows, and you grow with that expansion. Then Moorjani takes the metaphor another step, explaining that one day, someone flicks on a switch and you suddenly see the whole warehouse. The warehouse is magnificent with such beauty and complete perfection, it takes your breath away. With that expanded view, nothing can take away your understanding of the brilliance of everything in the warehouse ever again. You will continue to explore all of the gifts within it, each time with a greater understanding of each treasure and its significance. The very same thing happens in the physical world as you find all the many gifts within YOU.
I’m not a professional therapist and have no training in psychology, but I know for sure that Anita Moorjani and many teachers just like her have made a huge difference in my life. I will be forever grateful to them for sharing their wisdom with me. My book is an example of my walk in the work. For me, when I was ready, the teacher I needed at that moment always appeared.
May You Walk in Love and Light through the Wisdom of your Whispers.
