I suspect I am tuning into something bigger... then myself. For those that know me, this is a giant statement that carries some hefty weight as I am not exactly a frequent eater of humble pie.
I was on Twitter last week and made a pathetic attempt of engaging in this new world of social marketing. I know you're suppose to be clever, quick on the draw and slightly edgy on your tweets. Now if this was my own personal tweet and not representative of my actual company, then I wouldn't have had a problem. But... since this is the professional world, my "Huongisms" would offend more than inspire. So I resisted my natural urge to tweet shit like: "Please leave children and food outside. Well behaved dogs are welcomed." Instead I procrastinated and started to read the threads. One tweet jumped out: What Age Is Your Soul? I clicked on the link and started reading it when halfway through a customer interupted my flow.
That night after the kids were in bed I tried to locate that link on the Twitter feed but gave up after 15 minutes. Instead I Googled, "What Age Is Your Soul." I found a link but not the orginal link. Instead I found "Micheal's Teachings" which I tried to digest while downing some bad wine. The content was substantial: http://www.michaelteachings.com. The really bizarre thing is that it summed up my hodgy-podgy belief system that I cut and pasted from whatever I believed made sense to me. So strange that a document would summarize my views... and here I thought I was being original... apparently not.
The following night I learned through another social media, Facebook, that my mother-in-law's friend is a clinically trained hypnotherapist. I started chatting with her and she agreed to do a past life regression on me which I am totally excited about! I have an open mind so we'll see what she finds hidden amongst the cob webs and many life cycles of perfecting the soul. I just hope she doesn't tell me I am the incarnate of Jack The Ripper or something. I am more hoping she might be able to channel my Spirit Guides as I am still floundering in my sea of options. We'll see.
Yesterday I watched Oprah which is not something I normally do. She is an amazing woman but because of my busy life I have not been able to follow her as much as I would like. On her last episode, she did however hit some very high spiritual notes. So much resonated with me that I started crying... actually it was an all outright bawling session. Again, if you know me... I don't cry. I usually replace crying with anger unless I am hormonally retarded like during my pregnancy days. Just something about that show clicked.
Oprah mentioned that life lessons are first done as whispers and they get louder and louder until you die from it or the lesson is learned. My analogy throughout my life is that lessons are usually thrown at you like pebbles, which eventually grow into larger rocks and then into boulders until you have no choice but to face it - if you continue to ignore it, the boulder will fall on top of you and kill you - sort of like the house that squished the Wicked Witch of the West. Again... why is Oprah echoing my life philosphy? So strange.
So I have been highly contemplative, opening my channels, tuning in and observing from my seat. I know a couple of truths about myself on this journey of life so far:
- True success is being true to yourself, regardless of what society tells you. Accept your true self and feel the power of real happiness and peace.
- Real wealth is defined by the depth of your relationships.
- There is a higher power out there. I am not alone.
