I’m not sure where these ideas came from. They were on a piece of paper taped in the back of the notebook. They were written on March 4, so they should have been included in the post about Re-doing “Life 101.” They belong after the paragraph where I say “If I’m going to change, someone/something else must change me.”
Other people have gone through this and come out with a new understanding/ new experience / new relationship with god.
There is a map.
Remember to be very quiet and listen to the inner wisdom voice.
Remember to do very gentle things that will support me instead of heroic things to get me out.
My job is to stay with the rhythm of this stage, to accept and surrender to where I am right now.
My practice is to rest on the unknown, to let it change me, since I have reached a dead end in trying to change myself.
This is a stage I am passing through, a way-station on the journey.
I can trust my unconscious process. I don’t need to know what to do.
Things will change anyway.
It seems to me that I’ve spent most of my life trying to learn how to be more relaxed, to be more comfortable letting things happen, not trying to force things, and I’ve still only gotten partway there.
