The Journey

What's my journey been like recently? Eventful, as always.

One of the things that I have noticed more than ever is a continuity of relationships with people that seems to be a pattern of my life.

Many people remain part of my life even if I don't see them for a year or even two. I then suddenly run into them again and the friendship is renewed almost as if there hadn't been a break.

At first I thought it was happening now and then, but it happens with different people more and more regularly.

The friendship is similar to what it was before, but different in some important ways that makes the pattern all the more significant. My friendships are becoming more and more honest and reciprocal and, well, loving. It's as if my own journey is attracting different things from people I have known for years. What they are giving me now is far more mature and long-standing than what we initially shared.

I have 'grown up' a lot over the last year or so and it is not surprising to me that I would be attracting a different level of communication from these people.

I just find it so amazing that it is happening with many different people from different parts of my life.

It is quite liberating because it is direct proof that we make our own realities. The quote from Tolle 'Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world,' is proven with my ongoing friendships.

I used to think the world was withholding honesty and shared experiences and love. I no longer feel that way and have made very specific efforts to give all those elements back to the world and in turn I am receiving them back as well.

That's what Tolle said would happen and of course he is right because he already knew it works because it does. It's as simple as that.

The more I learn about the universe, the simpler it becomes.

There are no absolutes, everything is gray.

When we make up rules for ourselves and others, we are setting up walls and boundaries and complicating life. Life is not complicated, it is simple.

Looking within and acting from your own inner-purpose is what makes life uncomplicated.

The path you take should be peaceful and genuine, if it is not then you are getting caught up in the details.

Details are not life.

You should be your own priority. Why?

Because if you aren't you certainly won't be anyone else's.
