A friend asked me a few good questions. Very straight to the point, the first was, “what are you looking for“? The simple answer is nothing. I’ve come to know that anything I might be “looking” for I am most aware of when I stop “looking” outside of myself. It ain’t there. What I need is revealed to me sometimes upon request, and what I find is often presented to me at times when I am no longer asking. It’s kind of weird the way this all works. But, if we work on awareness, more than seeking answers, the answers will be more readily available and our path is found to be right in front of us.
The next question posed was, “what is your goal“? This one takes a sigh and a ponder. Really, my “goal” is to be able to work with the energy and Love that I feel inside in order to help people in this life. That tends to bring up my own question when I feel the energy and Love that emanates through me, through Mother Nature, Gaia, the Trees, and generally all around me. What do I do with this? How can I help? With all that I feel, I know there is a great deal of good I can aide in bringing to manifest.
“To walk the shamanic path”? I was asked. All I can say is that it is all there. I have already done this work. Most of what we receive and are driven by, in following our individual and collective paths, is knowledge and truth we have simply lost touch with. We need only remember and allow this knowledge to come through us once again. We each have our own gifts and talents. Yet, we work through the collective. The biggest thing to let go of (other than fear, that is) is ego. One of those learned traits from this lifetime.
“And, the Bridge of Lemuria“, next question. Ah. The path home. Yet again, it is not out there. It is not out anywhere. It is within us. We need only to stop reaching to others for what we need. looking outside of ourselves. It is good to ask for help. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. I’m amazed at how many people are totally willing to help and guide us in our travels. We are all in this together, after all.
