My First Day Back -- January 1, 2018

This year I made a conscious promise to myself that I would be well ... more conscious!  Once upon a time I was very conscious.  But my life started going every which way.  One distraction after another.  One let down after another.  And so on and son.   I just let the distractions of the physical take over.  Yea.  It happens to the best of us!  For me the distractions led to a near death experience.  Not the first NDE I ever had.  But it was the one that got me back on track.   That's what NDEs do after all.  

It wasn't just the NDE though.   I kept getting these messages -- these signs to return to my truth.  Everywhere I turned there they were! Signs!  Signs! Signs!  Everywhere a sign!  Good Grief!  Okay!  Okay!  Sheeeeeesh!  So here I sit on the first day of 2018 determined to make a go of it.   After all these years of slacking off, I'm back.  If you are getting a hint that I am be a little hesitant ... well you're not imagining it.  I am.  I know what is waiting for me. But when I think about the alternatives, it becomes a no brainer.    But still that hesitance lingers.   I know it will be okay.  I just have to get over it, under it and through it.  And I will!  What real choice do I have?    

And before any of you say you always have a choice I want to let you in on a little secret.   Once you have been fully awakened, there is no going back to the way things use to be.  Oh you can step outside of your awakened state and try to fit in with the sleep walkers.  Been there!  Done that!  But it doesn't work out.  You become this miserable schlep who is literally an outsider.   And if you don't believe me try having a casual conversation about quantum physics with a person who has never even heard of quantum physics!   Or talk about Mercury retrograde with your co-workers only to watch them glare at you like a deer caught in headlights. Yea, real mind bending moments there!  Let me tell ya! So yea, real choices ... my ass!  

When you have gone through the spiritual awakening there is no turning back.  And there is certainly no blending in with those who have yet to wake up. 

Folks on the outside think this whole spiritual awakening is about having fun.  Sure you can have fun, but the deal is once you start going through the process, you find yourself on the outside looking in.  Nothing fun about that!   People that you use to hang out with, who thought you were cooler than a room full of air conditioners now avoid you.  Why?  Because you've changed! You've become this weirdo nut case who sees and talks to spirits.   You got this knowingness about you and it makes them uncomfortable!  

Oh and  people in general start to really irritate you because now--now you see how utterly ignorant they are.   And it makes you question your own sanity because you start to wonder and ask yourself...where the hell have I been?  Have people always been this stupid?   Then there is the language barrier.  And I'm not talking about everybody speaking Spanish and you're the only one speaking Hebrew!    Ever sit and listen to someone talk and not understand a single thing they said?  Or read something and find the words are now foreign to you? You know damn well you knew those words before, but now you don't!  And you have to work really hard to remember what they all mean!?  It's like you are speaking and reading in Hebrew only the words are written and spoken in Spanish!

Welcome to the spiritual awakening!  It's a hoot!  Ain't it?

Then there is the breakdown in your body and mind.   Sure it happens regardless.  But guess what?   When you stray away from your truth, the breakdown accelerates!  At least when you are in your truth, you can slow it down.  Regenerate.   But if you're off that path ... you're like that fan you just unplugged.   Eventually it comes to a complete halt.  


So again, I ask, what choice do I have but to return?   And so I have.  

Haul out the duct tape and embrace your inner bitch!
