 n
my own recovery of self, I struggled long and hard to define god (spirituality)
for myself. After distilling my many years of personal experience and observation,
and searching and striving to understand, I was left with two ideas that I continue
to juggle; they are love and understanding.
The first is a feeling of kindness, compassion, and empathy toward
myself and others, an opening of the heart; the second involves
the unraveling of my own unconscious material and the thawing
of frozen energy blockages. In bringing these to light, a
process occurs which conjures up for me an experience of a
transcendent energy, spirit, or force.
Many ancient philosophical and religious writings espoused that
"god is love" but it took my own rigorous study of my own personal history to
breathe life into these words. I have learned that by bringing both compassion
and understanding to my own repressed conflicts, defenses, and deepest secrets,
I experience a deeper space within from which to view the world and from which
to share this loving, spiritual, energetic connection.
