A couple of weeks ago, I departed ways with the paranormal group I was associated with. It was something that was a long time coming (I can trace it all the way back in July or maybe earlier, as that is when it all started to go wrong).
I don't care to talk about it, because it would cause the conversation to fall into that one thing I really hate: politics. Usually someone maintains they are right while everything else is wrong. God forbid someone disagrees.
It's an exercise on letting go and moving on. So I have. It's also a lesson about being a radiant soul.
...And that is the most important part of it.
In the past couple of weeks, I wouldn't say I've been busy, but I have been deep in thought. Thinking about my motivations and interests and what worked in regards to what I did with the paranormal team and what didn't.
I kept a mental list of it all and weighed it against one simple little question: Am I happy?
It's a totally valid question. I think most people forget to ask themselves that, let alone ask others.
In my little crusade within myself, the problem with unhappiness ends up with finding one's self wrapped and mired in controlling what is truly not to be constrained. I am totally guilty of doing that myself. The feeling of obligation and indebtedness gets in the way of feeling free of these constrains that bind us and buries us well into the ground.
If our souls are to become radiant they must do so in our own way. You can't follow someone's guidance on it, it must be found through exploration and discovery. The best you can do is be a mentor. Be the reliable resource that's always there when it is needed. But when the resource isn't needed, all a mentor needs to do is watch. Watch and take joy in the progress that you'll witness. Learn the lesson of the grass. Doesn't really take much for it to grow, but it does require a little intervention here and there to keep it from getting out of control.
If anything, that's vaguely what I am up to. I'm not saying anything more. There is just so much for me to discover and explore on my own as it is.
And please try to be happy today. That's all I ask.
