it is in sharing that we learn from one another
thanx for the opportunity
Hi squirrel. Mental illness is not an uncommon feature in spiritual
seekers. People who travel the edges of reality easily slip
into the abyss. Yet to me it is worth the risk rather than
traveling the safe and sure path that leads to spiritual amnesia and
death in normalicy. We must recognize that we-like the
earth itself-go thru periodic earthquakes or spiritual siezures
that awaken us to the possibilities of human potential. This
occurs thru illness, social misfunctions or psychiatric problems
to name a vew. People who have spiritual potential developed
from previous expressions eventually awaken to what
has been so awkward in their life that expressed itself
in so many crazy ways. I myself have gone thru such
changes and disruptions in my life. Thank God there
was protection from the higher guides and realms
to help me through.
Later we find ways to incorporate these realizations into our lives
in a way that does not disturb our social life and friendships.
We become more comfortable with our spirituality and find
outlets and friends with similar goals and interests. We learn
the significance of these divine beings who are brought to our aid
and support in our journey towards our home in spirit.
