To our New Members, or Older Ones just now finding their Essences, or Anyone Reading:
We are all born with a kind of blue print inside us that might tell us somewhat our path through life that we would want to tread daily. This lies in our genes & chromosomes. However, it has been noted for some time that our environment and all in it has the ability to change genetic tendencies. So it is up to our awareness, as individuals, to make our choices based upon what we come to recognize is something that we love, to contemplate and to do, literally, that we do without payment. If we were fortunate to discover this LOVE early enough in our lives to be able to live on what we love to do, all to the betterment of our lives and selves.
However, if it is later in life or at a point where your committment to a job or profession has been made, I would have a spark of advice to give. If you will be aware that in this acknowledgement of your Essence, this will not bring a threat to you. That there is a root essence in your core that will contain more joy and enhancement of your life than anything else you might engage in, if you do have an inkling of what this might be, and are afraid of this “something” inside of you…Please do open up to this passion within you, open your heart to this love within you, do not feel afraid of this that is within you.
Whatever form this activity brings, it will become your joy, and evolve into a talent and skilled ability that just might be able to bring you that financial value exchange that will overcome your present employment, if your work involves itself with being at another’s place of employment. Regardless if it leads anywhere concrete, you will find you are honoring and respecting that “something” inside that is a part of you, and that sets you apart in your uniqueness from others, yet joins you with Love as you labour over your creations as all others do who find their Essences and proceed as you are….
This is something I have learned from Mark Hamilton in his writings, and from the Neothink Society in the opportunities it presents its members to participate in, which I have learned of and which I do engage in with other members. This is the most joyous portion of my life yet. You can take your time, get your feet wet, and wing it! as you learn more and more from experience(s)…
All of this exploration can be engaged in around your workday and on weekends or days off, even if only for 30 minutes or an hour at a time. You will find that you are gaining so much satisfaction from these short periods that you will not quit. This is the nature of what makes you YOU, the joy and effortlessness of your actions within these short time periods.
A human BEing will only know these joys, IF small blocks of time (baby steps) are explored one day at a time on a journey through the rest of your precious life!
With Love,
Lila Bennett
Yes Lila, THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENTS that are yours and yours alone, to me are just as important as food and sleep. In the beginning years ago about five minutes were enough, now I give to myself 20, 30 minutes even an hour or more at times. Sometimes I specify the timing at the beginning, then I am back into the reality of the day.
Lila you said it so beautifully–for just anyone. Thank you.
