Introduction

How and when did I become a simple seeker? Perhaps I was born to be as I am, or seem to be. And perhaps you, dear reader, were also born to be just as you are, beneath all the social conditioning that has influenced your thinking from the moment you were born, if not earlier.

We each learn how to live by living, and there may be no better way. Of course, we often, or not so often, mess up. So what? It may all be part of a lifetime learning experience.

I’ve always been so critical of myself, as if I expected myself to be perfect, even though that seemed impossible, for me. Spirit tells me that it’s more than unhealthy; it’s self-destructive to devalue ourselves. We can never be more than we are at any given time, He tells me, but we owe it to ourselves to become aware of both our weaknesses and our strengths, and to intend to improve.

It’s all about love, He tells me.We are each and all loved more than we may ever know. Who loves us? Of course, we each love ourselves more and/or less, and some of us seem blessed to be loved by some others. But our unique inner spirit loves us with an unconditional love, just as we are.

Then, why try to understand life? For me, it’s a personal journey that we each and all share, with or without awareness of life being a journey of discovery, or of moving along the road (or path) of Life.

I invite you all to share my experiences with Spirit as my guide and teacher, as if they were your own. And, in some way they are or may be.
