Starter for Ten

This blog is really a journal of my exploration of spirit and how I come to understand who I am.  I am not sure that first sentence makes perfect sense but I am not sure how else to phrase things.

Spirit to me at this point in time means the fundamental source of who I am.  The 'Great Spirit' is the spirit that brings/has brought, into existence everything and is all that is and is not, so contains me (a spirit) as well.  I - that is the conscious me typing this note - believes that my spirit is not separate or less than the 'Great Spirit' but that for a reason the conscious me does not understand, the road my spirit is following has led to the point of feeling separated from the 'Great Spirit' or my true home.

I believe that my spirit connects to a different level of being sometimes called 'the spirit world' and that this connection can be perceived consciously.  In fact I believe that I should be able to bridge the gap between 'the spirit world' and this material world I live in on a permanent basis.  This ability should be second nature for everyone but we have forgotten this ability.  I would like to remember it in this lifetime as I believe it will help immeasurably in all that I do or would like to do.  Sages and mystics of old have described this state of awareness, so it is perfectly possible to achieve.

I also believe that 'the spirit world' is a next step and not a goal.  Like I said I believe I am far away from my true home and not at all sure I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

A method of exploring spirit that I am trying is meditation and specifically sitting in the power.  I am going to commit time each day to meditation, opening up and blending with spirit.  The objective is to see where it will lead me and what I will be aware of and not to put a limitation on it.

I feel we have been told too many times what we can't do and what is too difficult to do and never what we can do.  This has been done to such an extent that we live in a closed world created by our beliefs, one that is quite barbaric and primitive.  One where fear rules and we are encouraged to believe all answers lie outside ourselves with others who know better.

My posts will be erratic as I am not sure about this process, but it is my challenge to my spirit.
