Dear Mercury,
Thank you for writing. Let’s see if we can keep the conversation going. Beautiful name you’ve chosen for yourself by the way – and, yes, I understand what you’re talking about. In the end, like all snap-phrases, there’s a lot of truth in the cliche about “being human having a spiritual experience.” We are in physical form, and we are living on a physical plane with a lot of folks with little to no remembrance of anything higher/better/different. It is sad.
I was deep in meditation one day, pondering the nature of suffering. I must have been a terrible soul, I thought, a soul with terrible karma to have suffered so, and I heard very clearly in reply:
“How would you understand the brokenhearted had your own heart not been broken?”
It’s advice that has served me well.
In the meantime ... it is helpful to talk with you and others – and to keep that lamp lit so are footsteps are as solid and true as we can make them!
I am trying (without much success) to finish a giant research project for a first read-through tomorrow morning, so I have little time to write ... and will probably be in this situation until my son has a surgery next week (when I’ll probably have a lot to say!).
Hang in there. Let’s keep talking and hope others join the conversation.
In His Light,
Temmie
