Spirit tells me that our personal stories must necessarily be incomplete and less than real.

How can my life story be less than real?

Who experienced it?

I did.

And who recorded it?

I did.

How?

Through memories. How else?

Someone might have told you your story when you were too young to be aware of how true it was.

If so, that was then.

Your story can never be then. Life stories are never then and now, unless there are two or more versions of the same story, and there always are.

Then how can we know our own story?

It is not possible. We are living interconnected life stories.

Then your story and mine may be the same story?

Yes, from different perspectives.

Spirit tells me that there are some people in my life
whom I would best serve by stepping away from.

Life, He tells me is about relationships: to oneself,
to loved ones, to community, to neighbours, to
fellow workers, to our environment, and to Life itself.

We are each as living pieces of a cosmic puzzle and
we each need to discover where and near whom we fit
most comfortably and appropriately.

Stepping away from a close association with those
with whom you do not share values with allows them
to also possibly discover where they belong.

At this time, neither of you are where you belong.
You both are holding each other back from
meaningful spiritual development.

Spirit was moving too fast (again) in His explanation
of the meaning behind the symbolic language of the
Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Ladder of Light, which
contains several trees within or on the Ladder.
The books generally refer to four trees but Spirit
claims there are many more than four times four.

Understanding symbolism was not one of our simple
seeker’s strongest attributes.She was totally over
her head, and yet she could not let go of the need
to understand. She seemed to sense a deeper than
life, if that is possible, meaning behind the images
that floated through her mind as her spirit teacher
described the interrelationships of the very human
and simple surface qualities and potentialities that
we each contain, or are.

Our awareness expands and rises up the Pillar of
Consciousness much as mercury rises in a thermometer
as temperatures rise. It is a Law…

Spirit shares words of wisdom.

Spirit tells me that all thoughts and all emotions
have value; some more and some less.

Who determines their value?

We each do.

How can we be said to choose thoughts and emotions
when they sometimes seem to flood, unwelcome
into our minds.

We choose to let them into our minds.

How?

Through habit-forming mental laziness, as in
habitually choosing the same food items at
a market.

Food for thought?

Yes. We ignore those items we do not generally
include in our diet or on our menu.

At the market, it’s easier and quicker to shop
if I know what I’m looking for.

Yes, and you do not pay much attention, if any,
to the many possible alternatives available.

But, I do buy what I believe is nutritious and
that I enjoy eating.

There may be many other available food items
equally nutritious that, perhaps…
