Actually, I planned to post another article according to a request of a blogger friend for this Monday. I hope you don’t mind that I changed my mind. A lot of things happened during the past few days and it made me spontaneously write this post:
Life isn’t about being someone we think we should be only because it sounds good, because others want us to be, or in order to fit into a certain image of society. A faked personality only confuses the people around you and yourself over time more and more because the real identity gets lost. Even when you feel misunderstood try even harder to be who you are because only that has the real power that makes your own true light shine and which bring the blessings in our life we wish so hard for. Life is about developing and expanding yourself.
I love that quote from our recently passed Dr. Dyer. However, I am treated doesn’t automatically mean there is something wrong with me. It might only be something wrong with the way another person sees me because that is always subjective. As long as I stay with myself and react in a way that fits me, I am on track. Trying to fit into an image of others in order to find acceptance, respect, and most of all love will take the ground I stand on. Things will come my way I don’t know how to deal with because I have no feeling for them – it is not part of me! That confuses me even more and after a while, I might think something is wrong with me which makes me act even more opposite to who I am. But actually, I only lost the connection to that being within me with which everything is completely right.
Being spiritual means understanding that our true existence is eternal life energy. Again as Wayne Dyer said: We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings emersed in a human experience. Living spiritually means that we are aware of our true being inside that body and understand why we are here. We are here to explore that life, to explore different roles in our lives. I always like to compare it with a movie. We choose a role in this lifetime. We are actors and co-actors. And we are allowed to create stories: Dramas, comedies, romances, horror stories, thrillers,… and we even can have it all in one lifetime. We are here to experience this life in all its depth with all its feelings and with all its lessons. And therefore we need to be authentic and stand to our inner demons and to the illusion we call truth. Because that leads us to our destinations throughout this lifetime. The more authentic we are the more insightful every destination will become.
Living like a saint feels boring to me. This life has too much in store for me to be explored and to be felt in all its depth. Being spiritual means being aware of this and at the same time being aware of the blissful, precious being I am, and of being loved at all times of my existence. I only exist right because I am loved. Love is the origin of all existence (as I wrote about last week). That means what you truly are definitely is spotless energy of light and love. At the moment it lives in a physical body in order to explore a physical life and gain experience.
When you are aware of who you are then you automatically know and feel the connection with all that is and with this certain love which already and always is within you. You will probably change your attitude and your point of view and this will change your life dramatically. You not only understand your existence but also come to understand the existence of everybody else and don’t take everything too personally anymore. You will feel more love and understanding. But you also will start to live this life to the fullest. You will follow your dreams since you know that you have come here to do it. You will be happy in a way you never knew it before – happy as basic condition of yourSelf! Being you leads you to more and faster insights. Being you unleash the divine power within you.
Only when you are authentic you are open to the spiritual being within you. It doesn’t mean you are a saint but it makes you experience this life in a completely different way. Who you really are is sacred – however path you walk in order to figure that out.
Be authentic – Be You – Be Love!
In Love and Light!

Great! and we can practice to know what happen to ourselves …when it happen…just know..just be the witness. Even it is the short second is enough..All whole life we are involved with things around us..lets give ourselves time for the spiritual path too. : ))

That is very good, Jade. Because what happens, happens never to us, but to the person that plays the role. But the spirit who we are stays untouched anyway. That’s why we are able to witness. Great thought again, Jade:)

Oh Erika, I am so glad you changed your mind about the post you were going to do and wrote this one.
I am usually a strong person so it really bothers me when certain things happen here at home get to me the way they do.
I know D can be a real JERK ( I am being NICE here) at times and I still haven’t learned not to “Listen”. By listen here I mean….I heard what he said, how he said it( Oh to calmly). He never even showed the slightest remorse for hurting me. One stupid comment. 5 Little words.
I “Listened” to it instead of struggling it off. I took it to heart.
As he knew I would.
Discussing the comment he said that tore me up last Friday???night.
I know better.
I am still letting it “Control” me. (MY thoughts)although I am fighting hard not to.
I should just leave it where it belongs.
In the men’s locker room, Or rather a teenager’s locker room. Men know better.
Or they should.
I may have been ok if he wouldn’t have brought a female co-worker into the equation. So when her voice came over the radio today…I cried.
She has nothing to do with what was said.
Except I happen to mention that she owed him for working all weekend. It was his reply that STUNNED me.
I will get past this.
I scheduled an appointment -with our marriage counselor
(Marriage and other things).
It is a No choice we are going appointment.
He knows he doesn’t have a choice.
I never said anything to him other than
We have a appointment with ….on…..
I walked away.
No comment . No Nothing.
We were going to them…it’s a husband and wife team…
last summer when I was ready to leave D.
Things were getting better.
Then I got sick and we stopped.
Sick or not we need it.
WOW, I wrote a book.
I have let this take over and I need it to stop.
I want to close my eyes and not hear the comment.
I will survive this. I am a fighter.
Love you for listening.
❤ Sarah

The closer someone feels to us or the more someone or something means to us the harder it is to simply let things happen, or go our way as we think we actually should. I totally hear you, Sarah! Totally!!! Whatever lesson is in that situation it will show up. You are a very open person, you look for hints and signs and you see them and take them. Every little hint you apply in this path is a step towards the solution. Sometimes we have to go through it and we cannot avoid the pain it brings. Going through the pain can even help to get things done faster. I just can say, that whatever speaks to you, make a note and pin it somewhere to remind yourself of it. Once you have some notes it can even become a whole message. Listen to your heart and follow the voice wherever it leads you, it will be OK. And Sarah, always know that you are not alone 💖

The not being alone is why I share as much anymore even though I really shouldn’t.
I just knew I couldn’t keep this end.
Danny still hasn’t said anything . He won’t.
He knows how UPSET it made me when I brought the counselor into it.
I also made some arrangements if he doesn’t follow through on the counseling. If he doesn’t go. Doesn’t deal with it.
I will leave him and he knows it.
I was packing to leave last year.
His drinking was the big ISSUE then.
It hasn’t been an issue for almost a year.
He drinks but doesn’t drink nearly as much. only a 1/3 of what he was.
I love the NOTE idea.

Those notes who turn into a personal message helped me a lot during a difficult time.
I see how serious you are. And I think this is very good. Only then you are taken serious. It is not easy and of course you know what you want most for things to turn out. But if the don’t then you need to move on in order to enjoy life again!

Erika, One thing I do know, I will always love Danny.
I also know I would be happy without him.
I would miss a lot of things but I love who I am. I like my own company.
I was single for so long and never minded that.
I have NEVER been Alone though.
Not since Bobby was born.
I loved living by myself after he got his apartment. But he was home a lot.
I also always had kids around . Over night as well.
When he died I had a few months in Colorado before I moved to Florida.
Yet, Danny was THERE calling me, messaging me all the time. I was never really alone.
I am not afraid of living by myself if I have to.
I would thrive for the most part.
I would have to have help come in -medical assistance….
I’d move near family. Probably to the farm. (Illinois)
This is the first time I said I wouldn’t move to Colorado.
I would love to live there .
Yet, I have to be practical.
Danny is scared I will leave him right now.
I can see it in his eyes.
Maybe he will starting thinking before he opens his mouth.
We have our counselors appointment next Tuesday. 2 hours and not 1. More if we need it. We are the last appointment of the day.
Danny has made sure he is off that afternoon.He wrote it m his work schedule. I saw it there.
So we will see what happens.

When my best friend left his girlfriend, he told his kids that they would seperate and had wet eyes while saying it. The kids asked, why do you you both seperate when it makes you sad? He said: “Sometimes love is not enough.” So I understand what you mean. I cross my fingers for you, Sarah! I hope it turns out the way you wish most. But you are a strong person and you will make either way for sure! Big hugs to you, dear ❤
