EveryWherePresent

Ask yourself, “Am I more interested in where I am than what I am? Am I only interested in pleasing my five senses? p. 78

Spirit is that which causes the individual to be a participant in life. Spirit is that in you which causes you to function. It is an inner demand. p 80

Collected Wisdom
Dr. Raymond Charles Barker

In striving to find my footing again amiss craziness, it occurred to me that though I may be “crazy” in one area of my life, I may not be in my whole entire life! In other words, yes, I can be working to make some part of me better, but simply having to do the work does not constitute a crisis in the whole of me.

Then I came across the statements above in Barker’s book. Remembering who I am and what I am and that I am constitutes the grounding rod in me, the defining compass, the inner knowing.

That core beam infinitely and seamless connects with everywherepresent Source. When I am dangling off the side of the ship instead of firmly attached to the forward bow–or whatever one is suppose to be attached to on a boat–my ship is running a muck!

What consistently amazes me is how, on occasion, when I am not in alignment with the core of my being and the core of all beings, I don’t immediately realize it. I am not on the first floor landing of my deck doing a happy life jig. No, I am inverted, swaying to and fro by one tenuous rope off the back of the ship contemplating where I am going to hit the water, creating my own signature wake. My focus is saturated by the needs of my five senses!

And–quite honestly, righting myself, reclaiming my footing, once again, consciously climbing aboard, calms the waters, stabilizes my compass, revisions my course and reminds me that all the while I am the captain of my vessel.

For this remembrance, this knowing and so very much more from the all that is, I am grateful.

And so it is.
