I know it’s long but I know this needed to be shared. My resurrection. Sunday I felt something building all morning. No explanation just extreme gratitude. It seemed like I was melting, like my flesh and body was being healed. I felt warmth and relaxation overcome my body. Previously in the day I went for a walk. During my walk I felt as tho I was a tree, literally and figuratively I became one with nature. My mind became so clear, I was actually having an out of body experience a sensation I’ve never felt before. It was so magical, beautiful beyond words. I was in a trance and the moment overtook my soul. I was literally transfixed on the moment and the overwhelming grace I was experiencing. My mind was clear, my body strong, and my soul safe. And then it was over. I went on my day until “it” happened. I was driving to the airport to pick up Nancy. About halfway through my trip I felt something building in me. This time it was extreme passion, a relief of sorts my body was literally buzzing and the anticipation was uncontrollable. It was quite scary yet very calming as well. Then without warning I begin to get angry, or at least what would be described as anger. In retrospect it was such a massive overload of so many emotions at once. Anger, fear, love, happiness, sadness, pain, empathy, confusion, creativity, anxiety, hate so on and on it went until I completely lost it. I broke down in an uncontrollable, gasping for air, light headed, about to pass out build up of tears. I mean I cried so hard that I thought I’d better chill or I was going to pass out. I was so overwhelmed with clarity, love and grace. I felt so relaxed and at peace with myself. What I now know is that I was finally, after years of being locked inside my own prison, my feeble mind, my body was set free. In a moment of complete clarity I was re-introduced to myself. I was back, the old me, the passionate, driven, empathetic human was back. My purpose clear. I was unchained from my torment. I created a life of bad habits, wrong decisions, poor health choices, mediocre financial risks for 55 years. I am to blame for these things, but I am also responsible for crawling my way back to freedom and sanity. The threat to our lives is not lurking around every corner, it’s not society or my neighbors, no it’s actually our minds and how we allow it to change and control our perception of life and all of the illusionary feelings and emotions attached to it. This was my resurrection, my rebirth. This was a clarification of purpose. It’s in all of us. I just needed to be honest with myself and accept the good in life not stay stuck in the complacent, comfortable mindset that was sabotaging my growth and peace. Thanks for hearing me.
