Someone I know has been having a rough time since Covid. He is usually an upbeat and positive motivator. Many young people look up to him, admiring his style and authenticity. Now, he doesn’t respond to contact, and his posts on social media are dark and cryptic. I have reached out and offered my support, but he has no interest.
About six years ago, he saw me interviewed on a web show. He called me immediately; he was like a kid in a candy store. He finally had someone he could tell about his out-of-body experiences. I was woo-woo enough that he knew it wouldn’t be weird at all to me. This created a much deeper connection between us. People who talk about this stuff are few and far between. We tried to make time to continue the conversation over the next few years and let it really go deep, but it never happened.
The old me (who functioned from a human perspective) would be worried sick about him. Me – today – knows that he is going through exactly what he wanted to experience. This is his journey, and he must look at his options on how he’s getting through it. It doesn’t matter what I say. He’s the one he is dealing with; he must go inside to figure this out. For him, it’s much worse because of Covid; he can’t see family.
One of his options is to sit with the pain he’s experiencing and let it destroy him, possibly ending in suicide. Or he can decide to act on the thing that would feel good. Unfortunately, this choice usually has too many casualties. We destroy relationships in the process. He is stuck at the fork in the road creating the human dilemma.
This is when we hit a spiritual crisis. Although it is painful and it does take prisoners, it is the beginning of a new magical and mystical life when you get through it and come out on the other side. Everything shifts and changes for us, but 99.9% of us will stay at the fork and live with misery. Why is this?
We are hard-wired as human beings to become minions and follow along with everything that has been done before. We want the manicured lawns in the subdivision near the best schools. We clock in and out, have three kids, plan for college and retirement, get our flu shot in November, and we always go to mass on Christmas eve. We do what has been done before. It’s what we do. Have you ever wondered why?
None of this is real. We are all here just playing the roles we chose to play. We set ourselves up for some pretty horrific experiences to go through. Yet, rather than push through and take the leap into the unknown, we tend to stay with the secure thing. When we hit that fork, we gravitate to the one with guarantees. This is a sentence for a boring life of drudgery.
There is staggering evidence that life after death is real. The evidence also proves that there isn’t any death in the first place. The other side of the veil – that is what is reality. This is just us coming back to play in the law of gravity another round of what we want to get through. We set ourselves up for some crazy stuff to deal with, but once you take that leap for the first time, and you realize it was the best decision ever, you get it!
You all have that line in the sand that you don’t think you can move beyond, the death of a child or maybe the accident that paralyzes you. You planned it all! You wanted to rise above it and get through it. When you do, rather than park your spirit in it and suffer the consequences, you will be amazed at what happens. But you have to leap.
You have to reach down inside and allow your guidance to kick. Your guidance always tells you the direction you need to go; this is why your gut is always in knots when you think about the thing you are stuck in. You know what you want to do and should do for your best interest, but you can’t, and don’t, because it will affect the lives of others.
This truly is a solo journey. You will have people coming in and out of your life constantly. When you think you have to be locked into something that doesn’t allow you to follow that arrow that you need to follow, it will destroy you. You will stay stuck. And you won’t be happy.
The human path is predictable. We want to make sure we have enough money and security to take care of us when we are old. We can’t take a leap of faith as that would be frivolous and risky; what would people think?
Deciding to jump off a cliff into the sea of the unknown is daunting. It’s downright scary and, for most, impossible. We don’t have anything to compare it to. We can’t know where we will end up – this is what buries our feet in concrete. We want guarantees. We want to know we will be secure forever.
This is when I say – if the fork that offers security makes you feel good and not icky, then that’s the way you want to go. Most of the time, the clear choice is also the one that creates that unpleasant feeling. The unknown is scary, but it sounds better than how the other makes you feel. Your gut is screaming at you and wants you to listen.
This is where trust comes in. Remember, we are not our bodies. We (our higher self) are trying to get us (our small self) to pay attention to our hidden trail of breadcrumbs. When we take that leap of faith for the first time away from something that didn’t feel good, we start to understand how this works.
You will continue to come to forks throughout your life. After experiencing trust in leaping, you will stay on this mystical path. We have to. As crazy as it often is, following this path takes you precisely where you wanted to be when you were incarnated. You will know why you came here, and you will live as a wave on the sea of tranquility.
We have some big stuff in store for ourselves, but we have to be willing to take these painfully huge risks. When you think about it, you really don’t have anything to lose. None of us are getting out of here alive anyway.
Cari Palmer Bio:
If I hadn’t lived the many phases of my life, I wouldn’t believe it could all happen in one lifetime. All I imagined after giving up my victim card was being a writer/speaker for Hay House. I was the queen of self-help and I was ready to change lives. Fast forward a decade or two and now, after re-membering who we are and why we are here, self-help was a lifetime ago.
Following my guidance has brought me to a place I couldn’t ever imagine! I have mastered living in the present moment. I have become a Zen-like creature. Once you feel this good in every moment, you can never go back. When you realize we create our own reality, why would we make any part of this thing we call life miserable?
