Body, Mind, Spirit

As we go through life it is easy to lose our perspective; to lose our way on the path to joy, healing, and happiness. We try to change our lives with the same mind set which created it which is by definition insanity. These were my persepctives as well. Then a journey orchestrated by divine Universal Synchronicity, which was 50 years in the making, came to fruition. The Puzzle Master and I connected. The Puzzle Master with her ancient magical Wisdom sent me on journeys beyond the realm of Earth itself. Beyond the veil of the Earth realm are literally thousands of Masters ready to impart their healing wisdom to all who are willing to ask, listen and willing to do the work. Here I was taught by Masters as diverse as an oak tree and Indian Shaman. I learned that by dealing with my entire being; mind, body and soul; by changing my perspective I could change my world; literally.

Removal of armor was to be the order of the day.
I looked deep into David's eyes as they seemed to transform into elegant mirrors. I saw in them a reflection of myself; bits and pieces of rusted armor still clining to parts of me.
"Look closely," he said. "Sometimes we must change 'friends' in order to grow. It is time you said goodbye to this so called friend, this armor. It is old and rusted. It serves you no longer. You have out grown it in so many ways."
I placed my hands one ontop the other, resting them on my stomach and began to pull. The armor did not move. It remained anchored to me. I pulled again with the same result. Then I heard these words in the far distance, "You can not simply rip it away. Love and Compassion will remove it."
I closed my eyes and held my hands once again over the armor as I spoke these words, "Thank you for protecting me all these years. You have done an admirable job. I apprecicte all that you have done done for me; but now I must ask you to leave for you see you are no longer for my highest good. It is time for me to grow, to fly!"
I felt a shaking, a vibration deep in the pit of my stomach as the armor began to lift, separate itself from my being. I pulled my hands away and there in my palm was the hunk of armor. I looked down at it in amazement.
