Standing on the precipice of enlightenment

[Paulm]

Agreed. This was the reason I started a new journal. Perspectives will shift with the energy change in my life, and having a new "chapter", so to speak, allows for a different energy flow onto paper. I still keep mine handwritten and not digital. I suppose I could change that but not sure I want to. I have wondered if such a change would enhance or inhibit.

I still do all my writing by hand also. normally i would say that is the best way for me, but now im not so sure after what happened a few months ago with something popping back up, years later... im glad i had copied it over to computer.....so perhaps digital has its advantages.... or since that was the only one i copied over there is more to it than just what happened.... i dunno. lol

I have mentioned many times on site about my fist-a-cuffs with belief. I'm sure some may be tired of hearing about this and i hate to sound like broken-record-guy, but as Paul said, this has been an eye opening and yes, daunting road for me. With all i have experienced in everyday life and with the paranormal, i have changed my thought process considerably since i knocked on this forum's door. It has not been an easy road, that's for sure. It will never be easy. As many times as i have climbed up from the muck and cleaned myself off...here comes the next face smacking challenge. Now i know to tie a rope to my ass and climb out a tad quicker lol. Years ago i would handle these situation far differently than i do now, though i still lapse until i re-remind myself of what i have learned and now accept. Today is no different. This thread could not have come at a more opportune time since one of those face smacking moments just hit me about an hour ago. For the past hour i have been remembering everything i have seen, everything learned and everything i now believe. Though the road is bumpy and full of muck filled holes, you just have to step beyond to where the road is clear and just a bit brighter. We may not always see or actually tie that lifeline rope i mentioned above, but it is there nonetheless. Even when things seem at their worst, it is there in many forms to help us get back up again. To step upon that precipice and finally see that bridge to cross it for the time is actually amazing. Not going to lie and say that's the end of road...it is only the first bridge to find. Each time you cross another, you realize there is far more to life and beyond than those face smacking pot holes. That is truly an amazing truth and there is no damn way it can be forgotten.

Well said! The energy from your post jumps off the page Selectric. It may all come down to us trying to find out the meaning of life and the nature of God and our connection to him. It is hard to say if I have been on the precipice of enlightenment because it is different for everyone, but I will give it a go. I seemed to be born believing in God, I can't remember a time when I did not believe, but I would have to say the reality of Gods personal connection to me came unexpected and like a bolt of lightning. This happened with my first healing experience. I have written about it before, but this seemed a good place to repeat it briefly. I had a terrible accident with my horse stomping on a bare big toe and it was black and blue beyond belief, most likely broken. I was young and broke, so I didn't go to the Dr. The pain was awful, and I could hardly walk. I was watching a religious program and praying for others not even considering my own issue at the time when commercial came, and I stood up to do something and my foot bent with no pain. To my absolute shock and amazement my toe and top of my foot was totally healed and pain free. I mean, no discoloration at all. I got a total healing while I was unaware and not asking! The fact that the universe or God was aware of me and gave me a gift on a personal level changed my thinking forever. I later had another healing that I can go into if anyone is interested, but I tell this story to make the point that my precipice of understanding about God is that he sees us! we are connected and it only takes a thought or intention. The answer may not be what we want but I believe we are heard.

If I might add one more thing to this idea of a threshold of awareness, a statement I heard made probably by the D. Llama about time and God. It was that the past is gone, and the future hasn't happened yet, the exact point in time between the two is where God lives. Something to consider.
