We're into the second week with the Man in the Mirror PROJECT Living in the SUPERMIND six week class (link at right). The author, Maurie D Pressman, MD, is a psychotherapist trained in helping people overcome their difficulties with unique and impressive spiritual/psychological techniques. During his practice he has witnessed dozens of people with past lives, out of body connections, and visions from our higher minds.
As I prepared for the next segment last night, my son and I engaged in a conversation. If you haven't read my memoir, Another Part of Me - An Extraordinary Tale of Twin Souls, you might not know how much of the spiritual world has been revealed to me. Maurie Pressman's findings and documentation are such a key element in our discovery of the truth that I just can't say enough about it. We are at a disadvantage when we don't know all of the faculties available to us that society has hidden.
There have been hundreds of souls who have come to the earth to assist humanity. They have had experiences that have been seemingly out of the ordinary, however, to me they should be viewed as ordinary - they should be viewed as the exact kind of potential each one of us have, yet they are still not reported as much as a gun shooting and under valued.
What if the news reported on the miracle of the Mother Mary appearing to children instead of the recent shooting down the street? If the healings that Father Solanus has performed, which are considered miracles, were highlighted on the news? How different would you feel in watching it? We would turn our minds and hearts to a world full of wonder and hope instead of dismay and tragedy.
We have enough tragedy on the news. Where our attention goes, so do our minds. Michael used to say to me "where your thoughts go, your mind enters". Once headed down a road, we rarely stop and make a u turn.
Today I'd like us to be mindful of where our attention is. Is it on the fat we think we have too much of, the stressful job, or even Michael's court case? None of these in my view are pleasantries and in this moment there is not much we can do for them. Instead may we take our attention to and discussions to another place. Perhaps it is a place of wonder, the color of the tulips that bloomed and the miracle that it's yet another year and without us doing anything spring has sprung all on its own; another baby is born without human intervention; a healing has taken place where all hope was lost or even the gift of seeing a loved one who has passed in your dreams letting you know they are OK.
There is a place beyond where we are today. A place of peace and solitude which when accessed can give us the greatest treasures of life. Today you can make a commitment to go there. To listen to the silence within and know that we are one with all life and that your song matters in this great big orchestra we call life. Dr. Pressman acknowledges this place with no name in his book. Our access to it is through meditation - the silence of our beings. In the book he quotes Khalil Gibran who describes this state of being by the following:
"For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered? Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountaintop, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance."
Here is where we await the thrill of intuitive knowing. Knowing what to do, when to do it and when to be still. Here the mind chatter stops and the flow of life itself is able to sweep through your being. Now instead of fighting life, life begins to orchestrate itself for you. Soon you are in unison with all things and all things are in unison with you. Now your life looks different, you feel different. You are one and intuitively know you are one with all there is. This is the difference recognizing the spirit within you brings. Living life to the fullest and not stopping to wonder about the restrictions placed upon you by others or life circumstances. For when life itself is fully embraced there are no limitations that can ever be placed upon you again. This is the true meaning of freedom.
