Xanadu's Introduction
In all my years of growth, I have come across people who have experienced some of the same things as I have. Sometimes, the experiences are a bit varied but they seem to still have a connected inner thread. To such things, I call them validation. When my soul was younger and I was less sure of whom I am, I needed the validation desperately. I needed to know I wasn't crazy or going off the deep end. I was and still am, very aware of how vast the mind and soul are. There are sharp edges between reality as we mortals 'normally' know it in this world and the reality our minds are capable of conjuring. My journey is far from over, but I also realize how far I have traveled as others, much newer to their own spiritual journeys, find me. My Truths are my own and there are a few Universal Truths tucked among them. Learning to decipher one from the other is a lifetime accomplishment and I often wonder if it's a necessary one. Some things need a cubicle, at least for my sanity they do. I am not here to teach but to share my thoughts and my experiences and I'm willing to bet that along the way, someone is going to say, "Hey! I know that feeling." To that I say, if it's something recognized by others, then there must be something to it, eh? Now, before I go any further I must introduce my soul-twin-sister, Quicksilver. She's the one you'll read about under the Moon. We've known each other a few years now in this Life Walk and in others as well. There are many times she reminds me of me when I began my spiritual awakening and someone I admire for all her sterling qualities. We seem to give each other balance and support. She has given me many things to think about as she awakens and I hope I give her a rope to hang onto when she thinks she's slipping from Reality. Of course, most times, I'm not much help because while I know some of the answers she will find, I refuse to give them to her. They will come to her in her own time and patience is a hard won virtue, one I am still trying to win. I'm still wandering around in the semi-dark trying to figure out what to write and how. I think the biggest thing I can offer is, have patience. Rome wasn't built in a day. That patience will stand you in good stead in your travels. Learn to listen, to your inner self and to others. Teachers and Wisdom have many faces. Most importantly, believe in yourself and cultivate your sense of humor.... (Intro) |
