Allowing Love

"Your task is not to seek for Love,
But merely to seek and find
All the barriers within yourself
That you have built against it."

Jelaluddin Rumi

From eastwestbookshop.com:

Sara Wiseman, author of Writing the Divine: How to Use Channeling for Soul Growth & Healing , experienced a spiritual awakening in 2008, when she received The 33 Lessons via channeled writing—a collection of spiritual teachings which begin “The purpose of life is soul growth.”

I went to see Sara last night. I enjoyed her honest sharing about being a Catholic Soccer mom with no interest in the New Age Movement or metaphysical things when her life took an unexpected turn.

She shared that she was at home recovering from a divorce when she saw a man walking up to her door. She fully intended to ignore him when instead of knocking at the door he walked right through it, over to her and indicated he had some things to tell her. She took down information like taking dictation.

I do love good stories even true ones.

It was an interesting talk, sharing, connecting, and meditation. However, my favorite part was just a sidebar. Sara asked how many people in the room belonged to or followed a religion. She was stunned when not one person raised their hand. I was a little surprised myself, but I was gratified to be in a room full of people who don't feel called to any one path. It was a different type of belonging.

open hearts different paths
communal awareness
the greater good is love

May we allow more love into our lives
