The Path of The Soul
We are each cells in the living body of the larger whole. Whatever is happening to us is both personal and part of the whole, just as every cell in our biological body is both unique and part of the body. Whatever we are going through is part of the planetary struggle to evolve. Our personal crises are also births of ourselves as members of the larger body. We do not do this work for ourselves alone.
— Barbara Marx Hubbard

I remember vividly when the separation between thinking and awareness first happened….
But this time I caught it. Wait a second…Hey that’s not me.
Where do these voices come from? Wow. For a mere comment it wants a divorce. 24 years done for words?
I couldn’t help but smile at the overreaction…
Then my mouth said without a beat (spontaneously)
— “I’m so sorry, you are right. I have been so selfish. The truth is I do love you and making you feel like this — is not what I truly want. I am happiest when I make you happy.”
I saw him blush and breathe deeply.
And his whole energy changed.
He looked at me and pulled me towards him and hugged me.
