Eveline Horelle Dailey, your comment, Forget the outer signs. What is your heart and gut tell you. That is what one needs to follow, is not only GREATLY appreciated, it also inspired me to take it into contemplative mediation this morning. What came to me was quite enlightening. So enlightening I felt inspired to share it with more than just yourself. Lets take the gut feeling. Often times that gut feeling is nothing more than a past projection coming into the present moment. Where have I seen this before?, DANGER, better not go there! etc, etc. This can be easily understood when one considers abandonment issues, and how fear of more abandonment enters the picture when a similar situation enters the picture. Take myself for example. I was raised in an orphanage, so the feeling of abandonment, with all its related fear, raises its ugly head more times than I care to admit. So, when a person like me is blessed by meeting a bright and beautiful soul like Cindy, my initial gut feeling is RUN! And even if I dont run, I enter the relationship bringing with me a painful and limited past that is projected onto the present relationship. Remember, these are UNCONSCIOUS projections. So the PATTERNS of behavior as they relate to our reaction, are UNCONSCIOUS as well. In other words, being UNCONSCIOUS projections from past experiences, they all to often show themselves by causing us to shape shift, quite unconsciously, into a personality that is not pretty. This is why some of our greatest teachers are those people that BRING OUR SHIT TO THE SURFACE! And, this is why people like Eckhart Tolle say, If you can accept that the relationship is there to make you conscious, and not happy....... Our journey is all about WAKING UP, all about becoming CONSCIOUS BEINGS, and to do that we MUST face the darkness, all the darkness, that is repressed in the deeper realm of our sub-conscience minds, not only from this lifetime, but often times many other life times. When we become conscious of the unconscious projections, and related unconscious patterns of behavior (Shape Shifts), I believe we are on the threshold of enlightenment. Its only when we are conscious that we, as you say, can rely on our gut feelings and intuition. So, with that said, I will end right here with a quote from Marianne Williamson. Personal growth can be painful because it can make us feel ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness. But our Spiritual goal is the journey out of fear-based, painful mental habit Patterns, to those of Love and Peace.
