A Soul on Ice
Q: I feel isolated, unable to move through an invisible barrier separating me and my work from those who need it. What can I do?
A: That barrier that you sense is a self-created illusion your soul is using to create necessary experiences. You can thrash about and do anything or everything to break through, but those efforts will meet with little success.
Perhaps you might stop and look around at the situation you're in and the experiences it's bringing, and ask, "How does this serve me?"
Look at the feelings of isolation, and what they are triggering in you.
Look also at the path you have taken to get where you are, and the motivations that led you to follow it. What caused you to respond as you did then to select the actions that led you where you are now?
- Did you take this path as a result of some inner call?
- Was it the result of scheming and planning to get more of the good things in life?
- Did it result from pressure by others (or resistance to it), or being caught up in a course of events over which you had no control?
- Could your desire for self-expression have been so suppressed or oppressed that you were willing to set off on a path that you knew may come with difficulties?
- Can you see where your path could again link up with others, or open to a comingling of your affairs?
Look also at where you have been connected to others, and appreciate all those connections have brought you both.
Realize that you have not traveled this path alone. Others tread it with you, even if they do not embrace all that you do or stand for. For they are impacted by the affairs of your life, as you are impacted by theirs. Yours is a common journey. Where is it taking you both?
Use this opportunity wisely.
Serve it, and allow it to serve you. The answers you receive will tell you much about yourself and what you're all about in this lifetime.
