"And we are are with you again dear one, enjoying this time together, writing the truth about love, sex, God and self expression.
The self wishes to express all the time, and the constraints of that expression are what causes suffering. The joy one feels at sharing a great conversation is the mind’s greatest joy. The free exchange of information that is empowering and expressive of the inner nature of the speaker. These are the joys for you that are priceless, and are important for the vision and realization that freedom is the door that opens the way to enlightenment.
The ego wants control and knowing, the spirit needs exactly the opposite. Unexpected events delight the spirit. Openness and freedom are its food for thought. It will guide you to the freedom you need and love, even though ego will rail at the future it cannot control.
This is the battle that most face at the beginning of their journey. The ego which has ruled over the mind and life does not understand this new teaching to let go and to be free. This is its idea of hell, and it will counsel you other wise. Hold on, it will say, do not do this insane teaching. Yet there will be a part of you that recognizes the truth in these words. A part of you that knows you are not living the life you could. There is some inkling in you that you are meant for greater things. More love, creating art, writing a book, and yet the circumstances of your life and the thoughts in your head argue for a side that is totally not yours. You wish is to do what you love.
The sound of the human heart breaking, of the human heart not fulfilled is the saddest sound in the Universe. The human heart, sad, alone in its misdirected belief in sacrifice and being less than so that no one is upset with you.
What people think and what the family will think matters not, the only question is this what you wish, and if it is, the questions are unnecessary. You are doing what you are meant to do, and what you wish to do.
Here is your real need, to seek for the purpose of your life, it is written inside in the language of feeling and desire, and it is what will never lead you astray. Although those around you may rub their head in confusion when you first try to follow this map, they will survive and perhaps learn to follow their own internal guidance. In fact your purpose is to live the life you choose and inspire that very passionate way in others. They will indeed look at you and ask how you did this thing that they find so very hard to do. You will have to face your fears, give up your grievances and follow your heart, all of which you are counseled not to do. Do these things you must, and the reward will be beyond your dreams, if a little scary at first."
