Friends,
Thank you for your presence as I share some of my thoughts here. Please know. Your gift of presence is so appreciated and so beneficial to me. It allows me to
“find my way.” I love these words.
“To sit and listen while someone talks and allow that person to be with her feelings and experience her emotions without comment, and to create a safe space for that person to find her way through whatever passage she is making is an act of service.”
(As found in Caroline Myss’ book
Invisible Acts of Power, p. 186)
Darren, I am so grateful that you have come into my awareness. What you wrote above assists me in considering things differently. I think because of your openness to the Source—to the Universal Mind—that you are really insightful. And at the same time that I am grateful for how your words are helping me to see differently, I am also noticing
jealousy is present with me. There is “some thing” in me that wants to compare and come out on top intellectually—a part of me that wants to elevate myself above others as a little bit wiser, a little bit smarter. And when I run into someone who is younger than me—or less educated, or female, or whatever—and who speaks with such clarity, this “some thing” in my presence feels threatened.
Reflecting upon what I’m learning through
“The Sedona Method,” (
Sedona Method (official site) The Secret self-help program; self-improvement technique)I can choose to notice this “some thing” with curiosity and gratitude for the awareness it is bringing me. The process suggested by
“The Sedona Method” is to first ALLOW, then WELCOME, and finally to LET GO of these “guests” that come into my awareness—this consciousness or “guesthouse” of whom my true essence is.
Having acknowledged and allowed this “guest” of jealousy, I wish to continue on with this post. There are many sources and many people that pass in and out of our awareness. As the poet Rumi says in his poem
The Guest House,
“each has been sent as a guide from beyond.”
At this time in my life, one of these “guests” is my good friend and fellow Project Meditation forum member Darren, aka D. James Albert, from Australia. Currently, I am on page 305 of his 345 page book
The Realization System. If any of you are interested in learning practical ways how to implement the “law of attraction” into your lives, I highly recommend that you consider reading and pondering this excellent book. (See:
The Realization System )
I had posted more here, but I moved it because I felt that it probably fit better on my thread
"Another Meditation Success Story" in the
Meditation Chatter Box forum. If any of you are interested, here is the link:

Take care. --Keith
