I had just completed a 35-day program at the Life Healing Center, and I was ready to be tested by the real world outside.
The problem wasโฆ
I felt like a new man.
I was so new to myself, that I didnโt know how to relate to my new Self.
I isolated myself from me, since there was nothing, and no one, to whom I could relate.
I had taken a hard look at the relationships that were no longer serving me, and lost touch with many people as a means of self-preservation.
Who was I now if I wasnโt my past, and only an uncertain future?
I was so afraid to see myself in the mirror of new possibilities, that I decided to wear the same mask that had covered up my inner beauty for so long.
The mask that made me believe I helped others more than others helped me.
The mask that protected my inner demons from the outer angels of fulfilling relationships.
The mask that withered with anger the spirit I was afraid of unleashing onto the world.
I was terrified to cross the desert of limitless expansion because I knew I would suffer exposure to the elements of reality.
I wanted to run by traveling different roads but could not hide with the same beggarโs clothes.
I rented a Jeep and embarked into the desert of New Mexico, driving all the way to the Pacific.
I soon remembered that the physical world โout thereโ extracted its meaning by the emotions ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ.
๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ when I noticed how uncomfortable and shy I would be around strangers, whereas my past Self was magnanimous and jovial to a fault.
๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ when all I had was silence of original thought, which quieted the noisy chatter of self-talk.
๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ when I walked in nature, being supported by the Divine elements that ๐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต myself embrace.
๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ who I had falsely thought I was, when ๐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต myself feel who I truly was.
When ๐ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ต myself feel, all those emotions and thoughts at first burst out of control into a time-shattering tornado.
The winds of my new understanding cascaded into a downward torrent of confusion, followed by an upward spiral that settled in my heartโs center of gnosis.
Could I keep the faith that I would lead my life with a new knowledge?
Could I live with the uncertainty of starting fresh, on my own, and not having a roadmap that was given to me by society?
Or would I fall back into the same patterns, careers, and relationships?
I didnโt need to choose.
All I needed to do now was act.
Donโt compromise. Seek ๐ต๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐ต.
