I Am An Eternal Spirit, Experiencing Life In a Human Body

Being in the Minister Training here at the center has been an amazing journey! For me it has been a transformative experience, a lot like the phoenix rising out of the ashes of illusion. I discovered so many things about myself as spirit in a body. The most enriching thing I discovered is that I am an eternal spirit, experiencing life in a human body. I am here to grow, love and express my unique vibration.
As part of the training, we did a meditation to bring our spirit into the body more completely. I was surprised to find that during this process I was having difficulty bringing my spirit into my body, because there was no room. I was all filled up on the inside. Let me elaborate on that. Having disconnected from the God of my heart somewhere along the way I wasn’t receiving the nourishment and protection that provides. Exploring my inner landscape I discovered that managing life all by myself without source was a tricky business. I had to create beliefs about my experiences to keep me safe and survival strategies in order to interact with life. A maze of illusions, built one on top of the other created this great protective structure inside of me. I was the architect of this amazing structure. I built walls of defense, secret rooms to store pain too overwhelming to face, vaulted ceilings of beliefs created out of misunderstanding and judgment.
I found that it was taking up all the space where my spirit wants to be. So I emptied. The process of dismantling my internal mansion of old energies was one of witnessing with compassion and a willingness to let go and forgive. I was encouraged and supported to go a step further and release my attachment to past suffering. I am now more able to honor it as growth on my spiritual path.
Most important of all I now have room inside for my spirit to reside. I have a new understanding that I am nourished and protected by spirit; I don’t have to create structures inside to manage my life. Besides, micromanaging takes so much energy that is now available for more creative pursuits! I am truly grateful for this minister program and invite and encourage you all to come to the Center and check it out. Be the light that you are!
