Recursive Learning!

This journey has taught me a lot over the past few months. I have learned that until we step out of our own way, we can not accomplish all that we dream. All that we aspire to have and be in our lives. The possibilities in life are endless when we can  begin to see life as a series of small occurences that connect and form what we know as our reality. Each occurence builds upon the last and we begin to see that the intricate puzzle begins to make sense. We see how everything if given the chance holds some relevance and really truly matter.

The hard choices and experiences that we have..shape us into who we are destined to be. Each experience teaches us and ecologically balances our internal equation.When we can allow life to carry us to where we are suppose to be..we begin to accept things right where they are with the understanding that things will make sense at its appointed time..so we allow ambiguity to become our friend by trusting that no matter the outcome, everything happens as it should. Ambiguity further teaches us to open ourselves up to receive whatever lessons there are that we need to learn...fearlessly knowing that the lesson will either help us to add or subtract from our lives 

Fear is an amazing emotion it can stop us and it can also protect all at the same time. However, when we become fearless, it is not that we are absent of fear, it is that we no longer allow the need to protect ourselves to stop us from doing that in which we are destined to do.

As I move to a new level of wholeness, I will take the lessons of the past few months on my journey with me ...some will serve as a timeless knowledge... and some will be shaped into new knowledge.

You see..this is our task on this journey to take lessons and knowledge and recursively re-process them ..never allowing what we think we know as being the end of our learning, but keeping our knowledge in a fluid state --as to always be open to change and growth.

Go Forth and Do Amazing Things This Week!
Kind Regards,
Pauline

Walking On Water

Image
Pauline Respress, M.Ed., We can learn a lot about faith by watching a mere leaf float on water. The leaf calmly floats even though it is surrounded by a vast amount of water. The leaf is not flailing it is accepting where it is and embracing it. This is much how I see faith. I see the spirit as the water and my physical self as the leaf.  My spirit guides me as to where I need to be, but I must trust my spirit to carry me. We become frustrated with our lives when we fight and begin flailing in our spirit. The spirit encamps us, it is our true north, but we must become like the leaf and allow it to guide us. It is a union that we must seek, in order to become one in ourselves. True faith is born out of understanding this union. When we can become silent enough in our heads we can marry the two-- and become stronger in our faith. And then when God leads us to a place, we must activate our faith and dive in--understanding that he will never allow us to sink. We will either floa...

We Must "Be Love" to "Have Love" ....

Image
This journey is teaching me a lot of things, but the most profound lesson that I have learned is that in order to have love in our lives, we must be the love that we want to see. It is easy to be hate, because hate does not require much work, hate does not require-- practicing forgiveness or understanding or compassion; it merely requires finding reasons to not do the work required to get to more love in our lives. Loving at times --can be messy, it requires letting down all of our guards and diving into unknown places --while abandoning all of our fears and reservations. Loving is an action word, it is the rolling up of our sleeves and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough-- to take the punches that sometimes accompanies getting to love. We all come equipped with artificial guards that protect and soothe us--they are the warm blankets that protect us from the world. But sometimes in order to get to more love-we must be willing to lower our guard and share the love...

Paschal's Wager

Image
Paschal's Wager is a suggestion posed by French philosopher writer and mathematician, Blaise Paschal, that clearly rationalizes (for me) our belief in Christ.  Paschal believed that in deciding on accepting religion we must first view it as a wager, betting on the fact that God exist and if he doesn't we lose nothing. If he doesn't we have lived a life that is guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ and we have lived as though we have faith, we have also lived an enriched life that is based primarily on love. Some may argue that this rationalization is far-fetched and that they cannot place all of their belief in something or someone that they can not see and that the teachings are merely dogma that people use to hide behind. But for me --I'd rather hide behind love than not--I'd rather be guided by principles that enrich my life than not. What is the alternative? living a empty shell of a life that anything goes and that is guided by our own insatia...
