We are all blessed with insight, but the luckiest among us are those who know it. The insights I've been blessed with, I want to share with you.
I want to tell you about meaning and purpose and how, when people I work with in hypnotherapy suddenly understand, when they "get it," no matter how dire their fate, they smile. You don't have to go into trance to connect with your wisdom and all that is. It makes it easier, but there are lots of other ways — laughter, nature, creativity, love, music, meditation and dreams are some.
I'd like to show you all of the answers, the magic, the secrets I have found (but there is no one answer, and anyway, the main secret is that yours are so unique to you, when you discover them, they resonate with a chime inside, in an "ah-ha!," or with goosebumps on the outside).
I'd love to give you the five or the six steps that will guarantee you the path to your own truths (but there are far more than five or six steps — and at the same time, there are far fewer, perhaps even one, perhaps none really.)
In the end, communication of the most essential truths ends in frustration, because everybody wants to make the message far more complex than it is. People want to delegate the journey to enlightenment to the seers, they want to delegate the task, when in fact, there is no alternative for them except to commence their own journeys.
Ultimately, at our cores, we seek love and purpose. It looks like we are seeking safety, but that's because we're not as certain as we should be that we are safe, that the universe is meaningful and we are exactly where we should be. But when we get to the love and the purpose, all else melts away.
To get to the love, do as the writer E. M. Forester said, "only connect..." Know that what happens to any of us happens to you, too. And treat everything as holy. It is -- but beyond that, when you do, you feel holy, too.
To get to the purpose, listen to your inner voice, your intuition. It is your own imagination, your creative leaps that will open you to the infinite possibilities. And to the unfolding of your own purpose. I can tell you that stories and metaphors, myths and imagination can transform a problem into an opportunity or even a gift.
I can tell you that forgetting about yourself---not denying yourself or putting yourself last, but simply BEING (n the words of the Tao, becoming "tolerant, disinterested, amused") enriches every moment and makes it and all your interactions sacred.
And, beyond that, you may want to "become transparent." So that your life is not "about you," anymore. Not even about your generous acts, although they flow naturally, nor your guilts, nor your desires. From that place of clarity and disinterest, you are free to feel joy as the angels may.
I can tell you about my own journey, to give you courage, and a little know-how. It is the most difficult journey I have ever taken. It is the easiest journey that I have ever taken. And within the span of all of these mysteries and opposites lies the message that I hope you receive. Bringing that message to the world is my life's work.
