Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

7 July 1998

I'm feeling much better today. I don't exactly know why, nothing has really changed. However my state of mind is fresh, as if it had been somehow renewed. In some ways I am just as alone as I have always been. But, one difference is that I know that I have at least two friends out there who care enough to take an interest in my life and words and provide feedback. Curious, but until recently it hadn't registered to me just how important this is. Perhaps this is the first steps out of being a hermit. No, I'm not about to become an extrovert, but the extremes of my introversion might just be cut back a tad.

With this renewal of spirit, I am ready to move onward. The time has come for the creation of a spiritual center and a school. Ideas have flowed forth on how it is to operate. But, to date, we have seen no feedback from others who are to participate. I'm not sure where to look, or how to announce that we have a project in need of energy to manifest it. As a secondary objective, I need a job/position that allows me to more directly do what spirit would have me do. However, what I need personally also happens to be what many need collectively so my desires are for spirit to express and manifest in a manner that is for the good of all concerned.

Perhaps you can tell from my excitement level that I am moved to begin working toward manifesting this center today. In a real way, it is as if I am creating somewhere that I can truly call home. I already have such a place within me. I simply desire to have it in my world as well. Also, this would be a sacred space where I can come down from the high mountains where my soul regularly sojourns and leave my hermit trappings to share of whom that I am with the world. To a large degree, these writings have been where such sharings have occurred to date in my life. The exceptions where a deep personal interaction has occurred if flesh have been few but have been of such depth to show me what is possible for me.

I have been "in this world but not of this world" ... but only barely in this world. It is time to more fully emerse myself in this world to allow spirit a greater vessel through which to do her work through me. The way to do this, however is unclear. How does a hermit leave his shell? And what parts of the world do I emerse myself in? Appropriate questions. My sense is that I'll be attracted by spirit to exactly those areas where I am to participate. Also, the others who are meant to be in my life will naturally be attracted to our joint reality as well. Such is how reality is created here and now. The laws of reality creation are valid for everyone. Everything works as it does because of them. These are spiritual laws however, and science has not yet discovered the most important of them. Consciousness creates thought creates reality. It has always been thus and shall always be thus.

So, what can I do to facilitate this process, to permit this manifestation of a center to occur? Dream of what you will do and how you will live when the center is part of your day to day existance. Do this as vividly as you can imagine. See yourself and others in the center. See the classes and activities going on each day. See the readings and healings, hear the music, feel the expressions of spirit that occur there. Realize that this center already exists, it has only to be brought into the awareness that you are now. Create what you are moved to create each day. Make room for the center to come into your life. Want it, desire it with all your heart and soul. The intensity with which you dream, imagine, and think will determine how much creative force will thrust this center into manifestation. This is not a mild gentle beginning. You are a spiritual warrior after all. Though, the war you wage is always with the Self and creating the conditions for that Self to unfold.

But what about resources? Remember what Goethe said. Act boldly and decisively ... the resources needed will always be there when they are needed when you do so. However, remember it is not your will but spirit's will which must be done. So act boldly only after you have been moved by spirit. This is what permits the proper alignment of the work, and what engages the forces of the universe to aid in your endeavor. Also, enjoy and have fun ... after all, spirit's work is like child's play when it is done with the right frame of mind.

Be Happy and Create Well!
