Introversion: My Pathway to Spirituality

12494970_1223080721054796_2763561998869494245_n I have been through a lot since our last visit to London last April and May. I don’t like surprises! Being an ISTJ I just  love CONTROL. But the Universe knew I needed to learn. Casual revelations from both my husband and daughter subliminally told me my old rules had to be restructured. This was Martha Beck’s The Hero’s Call to Adventure”.

Last Christmas season in Singapore, circumstances made me dismantle more pillars of my comfort zone. Young professional friends of our daughter made me realize my old world no longer existed.

My husband has been very respectful of my INTROVERSION. But our daughter in no-uncertain terms taught me how my perceptions in life and of life were not good for me. I knew mouthing formula prayers would not work. I felt a certain “knowingness”
a la Lynn Grabhorn. I prayed silently but constantly to the God within me.

Back in my comfortable tower in Vito Cruz I wasn’t spared by LIFE. One friend died unexpectedly. Another was seriously ill. Still another needed surgery. All of these were far younger than I am.

Then my treasured website was not accessible because it had exceeded the broadband limit. Eventually after weeks the site was restored minus the pictures!

Luckily, my blood  pressure remained steady all throughout except for two occasions when two Facebook friends pissed me off.

My sugar level (I pray) has not given me problems. I lost weight because  I cut down significantly on carbo. To date I have not returned to the lab for a blood test since we got inefficient service last November!

Through all these Dr Cristine Page, Martha Beck, Sylvia Boorstein, Rabbi Darfour, M. Tamura, Tato Malay, George Sison etc have kept me afloat.
Alan Seale’s “Soul Mission” encapsulates my journey:

“Self with a capital S  the fullness of who we are, is the gift of the Creator.”
“We came into this lifetime, everyone of us, with the possibility and potential to know ourselves fully. And the fullness of self includes and in fact our divinity.”

“In expanding into the whole self, we grow into our divinity and humanness.”
“To be fully human is to be divine.”

Spirituality Is Not for Order Takers

1545112_10152148033313658_499683131_n   “Everyone must find his or her own way.” So wrote Alan Seale in “Soul Mission”. I have been working on my consciousness/spirituality for more than  years now. But every so often I realize I have yet to change my paradigms again.

“Spirit will not choose for us. We have been given the gift of free choice. Spirit will wait for s to exercise that right.

I am happy I realized that I have a role to play much more than what the “Secret” made me believe. Joe Vitale taught me about not blaming and about responsibility. I was into Ho’oponopono for years. Then Esther Hicks got me into manifesting. Sylvia Boorstein tamed my Monkey Mind.

George Sison and Tato Malay helped me to work on my consciousness. Of course it was Neale Walsch who initiated me into serious review of my ideas of God!

Alan Seale wrote: “Whether or not you are aware of it, you are constantly creating your future path by your thoughts words, attitudes, and actions.”

My goodness! This sounds like the dreaded “examination of conscience taught in school years ago. What nightly torment again. Not so. This is to be done not to condemn self but to celebrate the goodness of the day.

“Conscious awareness is expanding rapidly in our culture.” This is Alan Seale again. “More and more people are realizing that they must fit their life into their spirituality rather than trying to fit their spirituality into their life.”

I must admit the above is easier for my husband and for me because at our age the hormonal impulses have been tamed and our needs for material goods have been more than satisfied.

But spirituality still calls on us to make choices not only once daily but throughout the day. We assure you life is worth living provided you remain true to your soul’s pathway. My own, individual take to this is that it does not mean saying formula prayers 24 hours a day!!!!!

Spiritual Journey

Cosmic joke!

I realize after many years I am no longer into personality development. This must have been triggered by a Facebook post classifying the Star War characters according to the Briggs and Mayers types. How I used to enjoy my being an ISTJ as a badge!!!!

I am influenced by Alan Seale’s Law of Mentalism. Also the Law of Correspondence.

I would like to believe Seale actually means materialization the way Gaylon Ferguson thinks.

“Walt Disney said: ‘If you can dream it, you can achieve it.’ Whatever you can develop fully within your imagination, you can also create in physical reality if you remain focused and are willing to take the necessary steps.” So wrote Alan Seale.

“Everything that exists in physical form was initially a thought in the unseen world…” (Alan Seale)

“Law of Mentalism- that everything begins as a mental concept. Creation is a process of taking an idea from the unseen reality into the seen, from the spiritual realm into the physical realm.”

“Through the Law of Correspondence, we understand that the idea will progress through the various stages of development on its way to physical – plane manifestation.”

I realize it does not matter  too much to me NOW whether or not I can walk again without a cane. This would be a bonus. But then again. Why waste the Law of Mentalisim and the Law of Correspondence!

What matters most Now is my spiritual journey. But the spiritual journey can materialize!!!!!
