Life in Energy Terms

Occasionally we all meet people that inspire us. He was a father, a husband and an evolving spiritual creature. We met at the bedside of his daughter. And weeks later he shared this with me…

“The knot in my stomach matched the angst in my chest. he said as he searched for answers, all the while living with the disappointed of dashed hope. He searched for answers…and then he reached peacefulness.

Angst and gastritis are the natural outcomes of such forceful emotions. Do not deny the brute force of the emotions. Feel it fully, for glory of life in human form is emotion. But peacefulness is possible.

“I cannot save her from the struggles, he said. “I cannot shelter her.” And peace came in the instant, I understood. In a moment of clarity I knew she must walk her own path, this ugly and terrible path.

In a moment of clarity, he understood that he couldnot control the the events bringing him to this powerless point of intra-psychic discord. And H couldn’t control the emotions erupting from within him as he watched his child dressed in the disappointment of a hospital gown, laboring in therapy in a struggle for her very life, facing illness living in sickness.

It is terrible to watch your child, childeren wade through such a rising tide. But It is perfect the way it is, isn’t it. There is perfection in the design that allows each of us to create life and to walk our unique path that serves our soul.  The struggle is to evolve. Struggle is the gateway to change. Adversity breads character and acceptance brings peace.

“The hurting stopped when my perception changed. he told me.

“So I sat there, caring deeply about the process, but giving over any expectations of outcome. She gave me this gift of a moment of clarity. And I suppose all the while, some where in the timelessness of all that heaven will allow, her soul smiled down saying,

” Great dad, I am glad I am helping you become an adult. We here in heaven can see that you have got potential. Keep up the good work.”
