A Rite Of Passage - Another Reflection

I've just been reading the letter R sent following the last meet. In it he says 'The project, indeed the Deepening course itself is an opportunity to meet and if necessary change the climate of fear, control and withdrawal that we often surround ourselves with .. an opportunity to meet that which is in the way and through using the four principles to grow big enough so that we may use that energy of resistance for living'

I reflect on how far I have come .. how I have moved big time in the direction of doing just that and how I feel it beginning to spread throughout my days. I lived a life completely of fear, control and withdrawal .. there is still much of all three AND without doubt there is less .. I feel really pleased when I can see for myself a movement like this.


I have also been reading my letter recently received regarding the up-coming meet next weekend. 'Another step on our adventure'. R asks that we take note of any dreams happening close to the meet, I have so many, most of them feel significant. Although I am not always sure what they are trying to show me, I do not think it is a coincidence that they have increased dramatically during the course of the Deepening.

I am very interested in the comment 'It is a real gift to use the focus of our meetings to enlighten a part of life that is in the dark' - when I read this, my instant reaction was to think, all of my life is in the dark and when I use the principles to stand in front of this instead of just react to it, I see that actually this is no longer true and that in fact most of the time since the last meet, I have not been in the dark and even when I have been, at some point during the project days in this period, it was light enough for me to see at least briefly.

'A powerful and deep time' approaches and I am very much looking forward to it. I feel I journey this time with a much softer heart and from a place of real peace within (even if only sometimes).

'See you there'
