Spirit tells me that there are many more ways than one
To climb a mountain, and that straight up is not one of them.
Dedicating oneself to a steep climb can prove to be a
Solitary journey. But, there is no ideal way for all people.
More flexibility will encourage others to join us, and
There is usually no reason to hurry.
Usually suggests exceptions.
Yes.
Such as?
When the path we have chosen is self or other destructive.
Then what?
Change paths. It’s as simple as that.
Spirit tells me that I am unique but not to worry.
This is only a temporary condition. It was not
Designed to last.
We are each unique, but only until we share our
Special uniqueness.
Some egos expand in a socially unhealthy way, by
Bloating instead of transcending what they are.
How to transcend what I am?
What are you.
A woman.
Become a human.
Spirit tells me to let it all go, since it is going, anyway.
I am two generations behind where today’s action is.
I hardly need to be reminded that Life is moving me
Into the past, while young people are moving into
Their future.
The world I remember is being swept away, to make
Room for the world of tomorrow, that younger
Generations are creating, without much thought
To what once was.
When we have done all that we can, He tells me,
Then we must be content to wish them well, and
Get out of their way.
Does that mean that I’m on the way out?
We are all on the way out, at least in some way.
Spirit tells me that for me to love myself as I am
Does not require that I love myself the way I am.
I can accept myself as imperfect without necessarily
Accepting my imperfections.
And, He suggests that I really must work on these.
Where would I begin?
From the beginning.
When was that?
It never was.
So, what then?
You can only begin now.
He’s wrong of course. I’ve been trying for as long as
I can remember.
Spirit tells me that habits are consciously developed
Patterns of behaviour or self-discipline with, or
Without intent to integrate them into one’s way of life.
Habits can serve a useful purpose in preparing for
Competitions, exams, performances, goals, etc., or
Just to maintain a chosen lifestyle.
Habits can also become addictions, when they no
Longer serve any useful purpose in one’s life, but
At some point in time the habit has taken control
Over will power.
I sense a question coming.
Yes. Which am I?
You are my teacher.
Then I still serve a useful purpose in your life?
You know the answer to that.
Yes.
Over will power.
Spirit tells me that to serve Life is to serve ourselves, for
We are all as one with everyone and everything else that lives.
Life is an ecosystem wherein all life is interactive, interrelated,
And interdependent, in the same way that all biological systems
Within the human body are as one unit while functioning as
Seemingly separate systems within systems.
We seem to be able to accept that any diseased area within
The human body is a threat to the health and the survival of
The entire human body.
Why, He asks me, can we not just as simply accept that
The same relationship exists beyond the human body, and
That interconnectedness of all life forms functions
To sustain the individual life forms through a sense of
Co-dependency.
Co-dependency?
Yes. We are mutually sustained or mutually destroyed.
It’s as simple as that.
Spirit tells me that His existence does not depend upon
My temporary belief system, or my seeming illusion that
We are separate in any real way.
Belief in an individual ego, He tells me, serves us well,
As long as and to the degree that it does. But,
The reality is, we are as separated from each other as
Individual neighbourhoods are separated from
The city that they are a part of..
