Running Free

The ‘awakening’ process brings us
in touch with “Spirit guides” and others
appearing full of knowledge and wisdom
to set us on the path of power...

But there is a neurosis among humans,
the curse of dependency:
so when spirit people enter our life to guide
we grow to rely on them instead of our self..

How do we know we are really on the path
to greater understanding and love?
How do we know we are breaking free
of addiction to dependencies?

One day,  driving along a tree-bordered road
I became aware I was running free
along the road, through trees and shrubs–
effortlessly loping, keeping up with the vehicle.

Then I realized the concept of being one
for at that moment I had indeed become
my own Shaman, my own Spirit Guide:
I had broken my human dependency cycle.

The Spirit Guides do indeed tell us that we have our own power within, they can make us aware of this immense divine gift, but not do things for us.

The feeling of Oneness with All There is is indeed overwhelming and we suddenly know that we are larger than we dare to imagine.

Great work!

Love,

I can recall my own epiphany when I came to the realization that I no longer needed help from the outside ~ but that all that I would ever truly need, came from within.

Rise and shine! Another fine write!

superb 'write!'

ah yes...serendipitous acquaintance with the right Shamans and shibboleths...
[although some of us have likely come to depend on our  (multiply nested?!)
  'dependencies'...no one else to hang around with perhaps?]

sustained applause for this 'penning!'

I loved the image of you running 'outside the car'......it epitomizes the essence of freedom
(especially now that fuel is now absolutely overpriced and making oil company barons GROSS profits!)
Spirit guides and shamans are great, as long as you retain flexibility and an open mind, which are already traits of a windwalker.
