“Feel the cool air on your shoulders and
face
That’s
Spirit reminding you to have faith
Now, it’s
time to close your eyes and listen
Trust,
allow, surrender, and be lifted”
I hear your
instructions, I want to heed
Even though
logic is frightening me
You’re here
beside me, give the thumbs-up sign
Say, “Soften,
trust, you’re going to be fine”
I’ve been
eagerly awaiting this ride
That is not
one single word of a lie
Memories of
before start gearing up
“Remember
when your faith wasn’t enough?”
Images flash
of my repeated fails
Just when
Spirit’s breeze was filling my sails,
My
controlling mind frantically yelled, “Jump!”
Then into
the nothingness, I was dumped
Suddenly,
the cool breeze begins to blow
You see my
resistance, you nudge, “Let go”
My mind asks
to hitch hike this ride as well
You smile, “It’s
fine if you can behave yourself”
Then magic
like I’ve never seen before
I’m lifting
beyond limitation’s door
I say to
Spirit, “Have I passed away?
Because, If
I have, it’s really okay”
Spirit is
amused by my naivete
Assuring me
that ship hasn’t sailed yet
This journey
is available to me
When I trust
in Spirit’s abilities
I am rising
above all that makes sense
From my soul’s
temporary residence
I look up
ahead, I see where I’ve been
I look side
to side from this space I’m in
Everything
physical was slowing down
Including
that high-pitched vibrating sound
That sound
in my ears, that I’ve always heard
That it was
Spirit, I’d thought was absurd
As my
vibration was harmonizing
Spirit’s
world was materializing
I looked at
my world that was far below
I seemed to
be moving slower than slow
My mind
struggled to comprehend all this
But knew to
keep quiet or get dismissed
It seemed I
was watching a sci-fi show
As souls
were appearing I’ve always known
Spirit
smiled, “Yes, it would appear that way
Since you’ve
reached the level where we vibrate”
We were
allowed a brief celebration
Honoring
this reunification
I was then
taken to a quiet place
Where stacks
upon stacks of thick files were laid
I looked at
Spirit quizzically
“What do all
these files have to do with me?”
I envisioned
a clerical project
A tedious
task I’d love to forget
I heard, “These
files hold handed down beliefs
They’ve
grown, in your mind, like unruly weeds
“These files
have taken quite a bit of space
To create
some room, they should be erased
We’ll leave
you alone, take time to peruse
To retain or
discard, it’s yours to choose”
Every file
came to the same conclusion
Providing me
this altered illusion:
There’s
limits to the goodness I receive
Those I
trust told me, therefore, I believe
When Spirit
returned, my task was complete
I said, “None
of these truths empower me!
But they’ve
lived with me for such a long time
I’m
frightened to let go, I don’t know why!”
Spirit said,
“You’ll be fine, we’ll take it slow
Little by
little, we’ll let it all go
Life’s
quality will gradually improve
You’ll
barely see it happening to you”
The time had
come to return to my life
I slowly
descended from Spirit’s light
I noticed
the pace in this lower sphere
Accelerated
substantially here
Though
tempted to slip into my old groove
Recall
nudges of what I just went through
I’m so much
more than I’ve come to believe
My focus
shifts to possibilities
