Thanks, Martin.
I am seeing how important it is to keep that journal. Consciousness does determine so much in life. I recently noticed how relaxed I was feeling at work during our "busy" periods and it actually felt strange for a minute. That relaxed , calm, and joyful feeling didn't fit my memory of what usually happened during that time. It was like, "Who is this person?" I was able to stay in that space for a while, then I noticed myself slipping back to that "panic" state, but it was for such a short time. Again, I was able to become the observer and just let it be there, and after awhile it disappeared. I did not judge it.
The next day while walking outside on a cold windy day in the downtown area where I live I experienced this two minute gift of totally clear vision. I looked around and I could see everything. Wow - this is awesome! I know this can be a permanent state. It was so much fun.
I just wanted to share that. I see the value of putting it all out there for everyone to see.
I will continue to post highlights when they appear, and I will daily write in my journal, either electronically or on paper - there's just too much power and healing in that practice!
Thanks.

And - I am also rediscovering the value of listening to your intuition and the value of saying "no".
I am a member of this spiritual community that holds regular Sunday service. I have been a regular volunteer for a few years now and I am feeling a need to "dial" down my service. Previously I felt like I had to do this "service", possibly to be seen as worthy, or to get their "approval". I see that now.
I also see how valuable it is to honor myself, to take care of myself and to approve and accept myself. Sometimes I get home late Saturday night, and I have to work on Sundays, at noon. So I have decided not to go in on a few recent Sundays and just to spend quality either alone or with others. At first I thought I'd feel guilty.
Not at all. It felt great! Very restful and nourishing. Not that I don't enjoy the regular Sunday celebration/church scene, but sometimes you just have to pay attention to that voice of wisdom within. Maybe I'll attend two times a month. And when I go it will be in joy - not out of a sense of obligation or duty.
It pays to listen to your intuition.

You are doing GREAT!
Keep up the good work, and thanks so much for sharing your success story.
It inspires and encourages others.
...and you KNOW you can see clearly, because now you have experienced it. Now it is just to identify with the state of consciouness in which your vision is clear. After all, it's who you really are.

Thanks, Martin.
So I'll keep sharing. There is definitely some deep healing or magic that happens when I write down what is going on. It might have something to do with getting clarity within me. After that last post, work was even lighter and more enjoyable than it had been before. I was totally in this place of "giving", ease and self acceptance.
There was a point in the afternoon when I had to talk to one of my bosses about an incident that happened the other day with another employee. I felt a little uncomfortable, not being sure what he wanted to hear, and not being sure how much to say. Would someone get in trouble ? Finally I just told him the gut truth. He was OK with that. He said that was what he was feeling.
Someone might loose their but that's not my responsibility - and it feels good to speak the truth.
I'll stay in touch..

Personally, I always prefer open, honest and direct communication - and I find it always works best. I have learned to trust it.
