Where Do We Go from Here?


I would first like to thank all of my Friday night teleclass listeners...we just finished a series called 6 Steps to Deciding in Fear and the effects of doing so. For me there was a big exhale after ending the call. I couldn't help but ponder where I am right now in this moment. Through teaching this series I was able to take a look at where I've ended up. Not a glance but an actual look. The last comment came from a first time caller (which I think was the coolest--ending the session with a first time caller) and he sumed up my viewing with these words "The Universe is a reflection of who we are." So I offer this space to ask yourself this question--Where do we go from here? What is the law of reciprocity revealing about your inner nature? What have you gained from your experiences in life or are you still fighting them so much your not able to let them be your schoolmaster? Who's stories masking as yours are you telling to those who's life you share and new souls you meet?
Tonight I talked about harnassing your energy leaks and using those spilled resources on yourself...what do you think can be achieved now that wasn't available before? Or what can be realized that couldn't be seen before? Right now I'm just filled with observation. It's cool to just look from a place of no judgment from my place of awareness.
The 6 steps to Deciding in Fear and the Effects of Doing so were;
  1. Self hate (self-denial)
  2. Denial of self interest (image food)
  3. Ambivalent lifestyle (the unconsciousness of the soul)
  4. Perfectionism (image control)
  5. Masking truth (dis-ease of being right)
  6. Addiction to lack of knowledge (conformity)

Where can you go w/ in these 6 areas to discover levels of yourself? Before I go I'd just like to say, while living each of these areas in my own life I learned that they were all required for my life's software package. In other words I lived with them and through them in order to becoming the greater awareness inside. If I wouldn't of experienced self hate I wouldn't have embraced loving myself, if I wouldn't have denied my self-interest I wouldn't have found how I truly want to show up in this world through living my passion. If not Ambivalent in my lifestyle I wouldn't have found what I really wanted to decide and how to stand by it and see it through. If I didn't try to be perfect I wouldn't have learned my weaknesses (breaking points) and strengths and both their ability to help me by teaching and guiding. Without masking truth I wouldn't have become ripe. Lastly, without visiting the addiction of lack of knowledge I wouldn't have found out what I didn't know which gave room for the expansion of my mind both naturally and spiritually. I'd love to hear your take on this...feel free to leave a comment.

G-d Bless and Love forever ;)

I am encouraged, edified, strengthened, and inspired to continue onward and to fight to the end. I have learned so much from you in this season that I can hardley tell enough souls about this journey called walking inward and the positives that it has brought to my every day walk and out look on life. Our vision can be tainted with all sorts of debree just traveling through this thing called life and with the enemy of all life fighting against us we sometimes can have our vision impaired, thank you for helping to clear up and wash out the debree !!!

I thank God for you and the Walking Inward Teachings. With each lesson taught I am learning more and more about living my life on purpose.

I thank God for your ministry and the heart that shows the Love for all the issues that weigh upon your hearts' life force. I agree with you whole heartedly concerning your heart beats on the Sept. 11Th tragedy, the grief lives on in so many who suffered losses on that terrible day from the families of the passengers on the plane, to the workers trapped in the Twin Towers and the Penatgon, to the firefighters and the policeman and emergency response workers who loss their lives trying to selflessly help someone else. My heart goes out to them and their loss. We don't want to forget but what about the families who lossed their loved ones all of them don't want to relive the events and revisit the hurt over again. We need to pray that for those who loss that they can reach closure and find peace. As a nation and a church body we forgotten their pain and those who lossed so much at the hands of Katrina. Those of us who can fast need to fast and pray and not forget.
