Listening to my Higher Self, El, I finally heard perhaps the most important truth of all.
Listening to my Higher Self, El, I finally heard perhaps the most important truth of all.
I pushed on in my conversation with my Higher Self, who I’m calling El, and asked, What is the gift of my aloneness?
And this time my answer came as a stream of questions.
Did the loss of your intimate relationship not force you to reclaim your projections and encounter many hidden aspects of yourself, in the process healing, by loving, all of your Being, and teaching you how to give unconditional love to others?
And did this not make you a better healer as well as a more peaceful human being?
Handicaps or disabilities can be things like poverty, a less than pleasing appearance, or a lack of freedom, support or community.
In my case, My Higher Self, El, revealed, my handicap, or disability, is the lack of several types of partnership that I have always fervently desired and am not currently enjoying in my life – the intimate kind; the sustained, soulful work/business variety; and the type that comes from a group of people working together, up close and persistently, on a cause that is dear to their hearts.
The other day (actually several years ago when I wrote the story I’m now telling you) a good friend sent me a video about an autistic boy. You know the plot: A person overcomes a handicap to accomplish something amazing, their achievement is celebrated and emotionally shared by lots of people, and the viewer sheds a lot of happy tears.
I sometimes see myself as invisible – pure consciousness. I like how this feels: liberating, free, as if I’m the wind.
It’s so much easier to feel connected, when there’s no body to have to connect to. The body I see suddenly is just a vehicle, going on by itself, a made-up projection of my thoughts. I set this viewpoint in my mind.
Where I am is more open, since there’s no skin and bones to show where I end, or think I end.
I don’t have to project an image wherever I go, or talk. I’m just sort of the watcher, the observer. I like this feeling.
You’re staying home.
You’re washing hands.
You’re drinking water.
Now what?
Are you still anxious?
Do you realize the entire world is now focusing single-pointedly on well-being?
Everyone in their own way.
Vast numbers, hidden, like stars in the sky in the daylight.
The doctors and nurses and researchers in their way.
The caregivers in their way.
The people of all religions in their way.
The light-workers in their way.

The world is stopped, on pause, from its frenetic pace.
Perhaps people, the earth, and our busy-ness need a rest.
The roads are empty.
Perhaps people see better “nearsighted” now and then.
People look for groceries and food.
Perhaps people appreciate better the abundance we took for granted.
People’s daily routines are all “off-kilter” and disrupted.
Perhaps the habits were also a box that now is not.
Some people are bored with newly found free time.
Perhaps they can now feel “allowed and permitted” to think, to imagine, to create.
Affirmations believing your spoken word
Affirming truth for you
I am going to give a few
And they are really powerful
No one ever told me to do this. I just know to do it.
I am not necessarily thanking the bird, although I include that too,
but I am rather, “giving thanks,” to everything, everybody, everywhere.
You can say I am thanking God, All That Is, the Presence.
