My shoes may not fit your feet, and so it is with my perspective on life issues. A sudden awareness of the relationship between a simple seeker, as portrayed within the little “Spirit teaches a simple seeker” books. I had thought that it expressed a general relationship between any and all clients of psychotherapy and any and all therapists. How simple I was in my thinking. I would so mislead readers by seeming to suggest that. We are individuals and our psychological issues, though they may be shared by tens of thousands of other people, are still more or less unique in that we each are more or less unique humans. The plot thickens. I can now accept that all the sessions were designed (if they were for one particular person, me.
So, what happens now? What changes? Nothing and everything. We each may face the same more or less general relationship issues, but we face them from a unique (more or less) developmental background. Any therapists worth her salt must design therapy sessions that adapt to the developmental background of her clients.
Sharing my lived experience of a relationship that I would at one time have been too much under control of my earlier social conditioning to even dare be tempted… and Spirit did warn me, too late, that “Once you open your mind, there’s no way you can close it.” It’s been an incredible learning experience for me, whether anyone buys a single book. The time, energy, and money invested have served me well. The little books owe me nothing, and yet I owe them so very much more than I could ever repay. They have helped me to become the me that I now am, and with their guidance, who knows what I might yet become, if only in my own mind. I feel blessed to have been part of this journey to a sense of self satisfaction and peace with my soul.
We each and all are, more or less, made of more than a hank of hair and a piece of bone.” We’re each a spark of more or less intelligent living energy, whether or not we’re aware of being so. Perhaps we’re each at our own place in developing awareness of this reality. Evolution is a process, a living process based on personal responses to changes in our environment that trigger our capacity, and will, to respond to them in a way that might allow survival, and more. The challenges of our time may be a sign that the Universe believes we can cope with dangers that may never have existed before, except in potential. The bar has been raised. A sign? A challenge? How to respond? How we each respond makes a difference. I have absolute faith in humanity’s desire and intent to survive and thrive.
Love,
Jean
(a simple seeker)
